Just as Xu Fan was admiring the Xu Ancestor's amazing calligraphy, a breeze suddenly blew. Everyone felt their bodies turn cold and their vision blur. Unknowingly, a white-haired old man had appeared a few dozen feet in front of them.

The old man was like a ghost. Even though he was very close, the crowd could not see his face. They could only see the light in the old man's eyes.

It should be known that among the Xu family, there was no lack of experts at the 8th or 9th stage of martial arts, but this white-haired old man was able to approach them without anyone noticing. Everyone was actually unconscious.

Xu Tong's mind trembled, and a look of shock appeared on her beautiful face. Wu Protector also approached Xu Tong quietly.

Xu Fan secretly complained, thinking, "Could it be that enemies of the Xu Family are also lying in ambush here?" F * ck, how can each person in this world be more abnormal than the last? From the looks of it, this old fellow was probably even stronger than that Immortal Ma.

Before he knew it, Xu Fan was holding the talisman that Xu Jincheng had secretly given him before they entered the secret passage. Although he didn't know how to use it, he still held it in his hand.

Xu Tong felt guilty, but still dared to ask, "Junior is Xu Tong. May I know senior's name? Why did you stop us? "

The old man glanced at Xu Tong, Xu Fan, and the others, but didn't reply. He sighed and muttered to himself, "To think that the secret passageway that my White Clan had guarded for hundreds of years would actually open today. Ai, could it be that the Xu Family really encountered a calamity?"

"Senior, how do you know that our Xu Family has encountered a calamity?"

Xu Tong was secretly surprised in her heart. Hearing the old man mumbling to himself as if he was related to the Xu Family, she asked again.

The old man scanned the group of people and suddenly asked: "Why is it you two little kids? What about the adults of the Xu Family? "Right, where's the current Patriarch of the Xu Family?"

Xu Tong's eyes flickered as she hurriedly said, "Senior, the Xu Family is currently in great trouble. The Xu Family's fortress has been breached and the lives of the Patriarch and the elders are uncertain. I hope that senior can save them. The Xu Family will never forget this!"

The old man closed his eyes for a moment and opened them. A bright light shot out from his eyes, causing people to look at him in surprise. Afterwards, the old man glanced at Xu Fan, his gaze falling upon the jade pendant hanging around his waist. He shook his head and said, "So that's how it is. It's a pity …"

"Senior …"

The old man interrupted them, "Little miss, there's no need to say anymore. Although I have some connections with your Xu Family, I can't do anything about it, everything depends on yourselves. Today, when the secret passage opens, my Bai Clan will not be able to disappoint your Xu Family, you can all leave. You can't stay here any longer, I've already prepared a horse and rations for you not too far ahead."

At this time, Xu Fan suddenly had a thought. This old man seemed very powerful. If this old man were to help, the Xu Family might still be able to save them. There was no need for him to run away with Xu Tong and the others.

Thinking of this, Xu Fan stepped forward, bowed towards the white-haired old man, and said, "Senior, for the sake of your connection with the Xu family, please help the Xu family!"

The white-haired old man sighed, saying, "Forget it. I am indeed unable to save your Xu Family. However, I can guarantee that no one will dare to pursue you within the next ten days. This is the only thing I can do."

"Thank you, senior!"

Xu Fan was overjoyed. Although the old man couldn't agree to save the Xu family, he could guarantee his safety within ten days. At the very least, it would be safe for a short period of time.

Xu Fan followed the old man to an empty area. There were dozens of horses tied to a big tree at the edge of the clearing. Each horse had a bag on their back, which was probably for food and water.

"Alright, these horses and rations are all prepared for you. You should leave as soon as possible. In ten days time, you can go as far as you want." The old man waved his hand.

Since things had already come to this, Xu Fan didn't say much. Fortunately, he had learned horse riding in his previous life, so it wasn't too difficult for him.

After Xu Fan had mounted the horse, he looked back and discovered that the old man had disappeared without a trace. He loudly said, "Xu Fan of the Xu family thanks senior for your help. May I ask what your name is?"

"Bai Clan's Bai Zhantian!"

The old man's voice travelled to everyone's ears.

Behind Xu Fan, the corners of Xu Tong's mouth suddenly curled up, and a cold light began to emit from her eyes.

At this moment, on the east side of the sunrise, a trace of golden light was imprinted onto Xu Tong's charming face, carrying a mysterious and strange smile.

Then, Xu Tong suddenly asked, "Third brother, we're safe now. The family head is here to escort you. What do you plan to do next?"

Xu Fan thought about it for a moment. He really didn't know where he was going, but he remembered that Xu Jincheng had told him to go to the Northwest Tiger City to find his third uncle, so he said, "Go to the Northwest Tiger City."

"Alright, third brother, guard Wu, let's go!"

Xu Tong responded. She turned around and looked at Xu Fan, who was still watching as the white-haired old man disappeared. Then she ignored Xu Fan and rode off towards the north.

"Let's go, Third Young Master!"

When Guard Wu saw Xu Tong heading towards the north with Xu Tong leading the way, he walked in front of Xu Fan and called out to him in a neither cold nor hot manner.

"Oh!"

Right now, there was no one in this area, and he didn't know the direction either. It was better to wait until he arrived at the town where there was a town, and then think of a way to secretly slip away.

Following that, Xu Fan's legs suddenly clamped together, and he let his horse chase after Xu Tong.

"..."

A hundred miles away, in a secret room in Dragon City's Xu Family Castle.

No one expected that at this moment, the fifth generation Xu Jinxi of the Xu family was bowing and greeting a burly man. He said to the man, "Jinxi congratulates Prince Zhao. From now on, Prince Zhao is in Dragon City!"

"Hahaha!"

The burly man looked pleased as he laughed out loud, "I'm glad, I'm glad. Brother Jinxi is too polite, I should call Brother Jinxi the Master of the Xu Family. But His Majesty's imperial decree has yet to arrive. Brother Jinxi, please call me master."

Xu Jinxi smiled apologetically, "Yes, yes. Master Hou is right. From now on, my Xu Family will only follow the lead of the Zhao Family. But that Xu Jinnan hasn't been removed for a day, I'm afraid that my position as Patriarch …"

The burly man smiled and said: "Brother Jin Xi, don't worry. This marquis has his own arrangements. You can just clean up the mess in your Xu Family."

"Then, this one thanks the marquis!"

"In the future, this marquis will have to rely on Brother Jinxi in some places."

"Your Lordship, rest assured. In the future, if Your Lordship requests it, Jinxi will definitely go through fire and water, regardless of the consequences!"

"That's good, that's good! "Hahaha …!"

"..."

The change in ownership of the Dragon City's Xu Family Castle had turned out to be a conspiracy. The failure of the former number one aristocratic family had actually started from within.

However, at this moment, Xu Fan didn't know what was happening at the Xu family castle. He was running along with Xu Tong, filled with worry.

"..."
