If we choose you, we would still have a sliver of hope. If we choose to join the Divine Sect, given the godly ambition of the Divine Sect, sooner or later, our Ancient Court would be destroyed as well! Liu Cangyi agreed.
Now that they knew of the Divine Sect's ambitions, they should rejoice over the ancient courtyard's current choice.
The Celestial Sect had the ambition to annex all the powers in the Great Immortal Domain. Moreover, they concealed their true strength well, so no one knew.
If he chose to marry into the Divine Sect, then Gu Ting would probably be eaten alive. He didn't even know what would happen.
Choosing Xiao Fan as son-in-law was a decision that had been carefully considered.
In times of crisis, the entire hall would naturally believe in Xiao Fan.
With Xiao Fan here, the Ancient Court would still have hope.
"Since everyone believes in me, then I will have to discuss the details!" Xiao Fan glanced at the crowd and said with satisfaction.
In the next moment, Xiao Fan quickly discussed some details of the plan with the various elders of the ancient courtyard.
His plan this time was to make the Divine Sect think that the Ancient Court truly believed that Xiao Fan had gone missing.
The reason why the Ancient Court thought that Ao Wutian had gone missing was because the Divine Sect believed that Ao Wutian and the others had successfully trapped him.
It was real and unreal. As long as they could paralyze the Divine Sect and allow it to act according to the plan, they could attack the ancient courtyard without any preparation.
However, he didn't know that the ancient courtyard had already been prepared and was waiting for someone from the Divine Sect.
As long as they made preparations in advance, half of their plans to destroy the Ancient Court would fail.
The remaining half would depend on the subsequent developments of the matter.
However, Xiao Fan was sure that the Divine Sect would lose this time.
"The details have been discussed and discussed. I have also secretly sent word of your disappearance. What should I do next?" Jiang Jingyuan looked at Xiao Fan and said.
"I will truly disappear for a period of time later. I will rush back before the engagement banquet starts tomorrow!" Xiao Fan said: "Remember, just treat it as me disappearing. You must not tell the truth to anyone other than us!"
"You can't even tell me Xin Er and your mother and brothers?" Ji Chengliang asked.
"That's right, I can't say. That way, the illusion of my disappearance would be more realistic!" Xiao Fan laughed and said, "But I think my mother, big brother and Xin Er should be able to guess the truth, and tell them the truth later!"
"Alright!" The fewer people who know about it, the more realistic it will be! " "Where are you planning to go when you disappear?" Jiang Jingyuan asked.
"Please bring Zhou Cheng here in secret!" Xiao Fan said: "I want to disappear for a period of time with him!"
"Just in case, I'll go personally!" Martial Uncle Liu said.
Martial Uncle Liu left the chamber to look for Zhou Cheng.
At this moment, outside the main hall, the people in charge of the deacons waiting in the main hall had already started to sway in the wind and rain.
A little earlier, Jiang Jingyuan had already let his trusted aides leak the news that Xiao Fan had gone missing.
Upon hearing this news, the deacons that were waiting in the main hall were all shocked.
The engagement ceremony would start on time tomorrow. Now that the new young master was nowhere to be seen, how could the engagement ceremony be carried out tomorrow?
This matter was indeed a very serious matter for the Ancient Court, because they had given up on the Divine Sect and chose Xiao Fan.
If the new Young Master Xiao Fan was not able to appear at the engagement ceremony tomorrow, it would be a huge blow to the Ancient Court.
The Divine Sect might also use this opportunity to make a big fuss and target the Ancient Court.
He would very soon have the order from the branch master to secretly search for Xiao Fan's whereabouts with all his strength.
How could there be no wind in the world? The news of Xiao Fan's disappearance had spread out, and all the guests who came to attend the banquet were all surprised. How could Xiao Fan suddenly disappear?
Everyone was doubting the authenticity of the matter, but the information came from inside the ancient court, so it should be very reliable.
The sudden occurrence of events had also created a different attitude among the guests.
Some were sneering, ridiculing the ancient courtyard. If the Divine Sect didn't choose a perfectly good giant, they would definitely choose Xiao Fan.
Although Xiao Fan was a resplendent rising star, he was still far inferior to the Divine Sect.
If Xiao Fan really went missing, then the Gu Courtyard would lose both husband and wife, and would suffer heavy losses.
There were also people who were suspicious and maintaining a neutral attitude.
Of course, there was no lack of worry about Xiao Fan disappearing, among them were the Goblin Tribe and Situ Family.
In the palace where Jiang Yan, her mother, and son were staying, all of their close friends were gathered together when they received the news.
Xiao Fan's sudden disappearance was a huge matter, but to the relatives and friends of Xiao Fan, they would definitely not believe it.
Martial Uncle Liu also brought Zhou Cheng away at the first possible moment. With regards to Zhou Cheng's disappearance, Xiao Fan's relatives and brothers suspected that this incident was just a smokescreen, maybe something big really happened behind the scenes.
Xiao Fan and Zhou Cheng left the Heavenly Palace, opening the gate to time and space, the first to return to the Formless Immortal Continent.
The moment Xiao Fan took Zhou Cheng away, Jiang Jingyuan and the other elders of the ancient courtyard knew the reason.
Xiao Fan had said that he would disappear into the day before the engagement ceremony began tomorrow, and at the same time, he had brought Zhou Cheng along.
However, the Primordial Godly Clan was extremely far away from the Great Immortal Domain. Even if Zhou Cheng knew the exact location, it would still take him at least two months to return from the Great Immortal Domain.
Now, with less than a day left, how could Xiao Fan bring Zhou Cheng back to the Desolate God Clan, and how could he bring reinforcements here in time?
Their doubts troubled everyone, but they could only unconditionally trust Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan and Zhou Cheng returned to the Immortal Continent immediately in order to defend the Hongmeng Heaven Alliance against the Celestial Sect's attacks.
The Divine Sect would use Situ Ao's clone to lure him into their trap, so the Divine Sect would definitely know about the Hongmeng Heaven Alliance of the Profound Immortal Continent, and that the Hongmeng Heaven Alliance was his.
In this way, the Divine Sect would definitely send a force to eradicate the Hongmeng Heaven Alliance.
With Hongmeng Heaven Alliance's current strength, she would definitely be wiped out by the Divine Sect.
It was fortunate that the Immortal Continent was very remote. The Divine Sect didn't have enough time to construct a teleportation gate that could lead them directly to the Immortal Continent. They had to send out a fleet of warships to set off from the central region.
Therefore, he had to return in time to deploy his defensive power to prevent the Divine Sect from attacking the Hongmeng Heaven Alliance.
"Brother Tian Yi, that's it, do as I say!" Inside the Alliance Master Palace, Xiao Fan instructed Tian Yi: "There will be someone coming to support us later on, you just need to be on guard!"
"Understood!" Tian Yi solemnly nodded his head and said.
"Alright!" Xiao Fan nodded, after finishing all the orders, he opened the Space and Time Gate once again and brought Prime Minister Zhou back to the Ancient God Clan.
The Primordial Godly Clan had to join in. Otherwise, even if he was present in the ancient courtyard tomorrow, he might not be able to defend against the Celestial Sect's attacks.
Xiao Fan did not know the exact location, and thus, the Space and Time Gate could not directly open the passage to the Ancient Desolate God Clan. He could only ask Zhou Cheng to show him the exact coordinates.
At the southernmost point of the Endless Sea, the sky was constantly covered by dark clouds. Thunder and lightning were constantly crackling in the dark clouds, making them seem like servants.
On the surface of the sea below, countless storm fog regions sealed off the surface, and anything that entered would be minced.
"This is where your Primordial Divine Clan resides. It is indeed a hidden place!" Xiao Fan appeared in the sky above the ocean, looking at the storm and the fog area in front of him.
The entire sea area was shrouded by a violent storm and fog. Enormous bolts of lightning continued to fall from the sky. If a Class 10 Martial Saint were to enter, it would be extremely dangerous.
Furthermore, there was also the protective force of the Primordial God Tribe, it was almost impossible for anyone to come out.
"That's right, this area is a natural barrier, and it's already very dangerous. In addition, our Primordial Godly Clan has used a special method to strengthen the seal, outsiders are simply unable to enter!" "There's no time to lose," Zhou Cheng said. "I'll bring you in as soon as possible so that the clan can dispatch troops to assist you!"
"Alright, let's go!"
Xiao Fan and Zhou Cheng turned into two beams of light and entered the Storm and Fog Region. Under Zhou Cheng's guidance, they quickly passed through the Storm and Fog Region.
If the Primordial Godly Clan chose to live in seclusion on this island, they would definitely have their own unique features.
"Hahaha, little brother, you're finally here!"
Just as Xiao Fan and Prime Minister Zhou approached the air above the island, Zhou Ji Yun suddenly remembered as he laughed and came out to welcome them.
"Brother, long time no see!" Xiao Fan smiled happily and greeted.
"Not bad, not bad. You came so fast, did you finish your work outside?" Zhou Ji Yun asked.
"No, there was an accident. The most urgent and upright moment would need the help of my family!" Xiao Fan had an anxious expression on his face as he asked Zhou Ji Yun, "I wonder if your clansmen have already agreed to accept my status!"
"Of course, I've already taken you as my younger brother. They wouldn't dare to disapprove of your status!" Zhou Ji Yun proudly said, "What happened? We needed our family's help so quickly!"
"It's like this, the Divine Sect has already secretly launched a war to unify the entire Great Immortal Domain. Tomorrow, we will start a war in the Ancient Court, and tomorrow, will be the day of Xin Er and I's engagement!"
"The strength of the Celestial Sect has far exceeded the expectations of the major powers. When the Celestial Sect attacks the ancient courtyard tomorrow, I'm afraid the ancient courtyard won't be able to withstand it and will need your support!" Xiao Fan explained.
"Those brats are so quick, I'll take you to see the chief, but how many people you can take away will depend on your abilities!" Zhou Ji Yun said, "It's just a question. How can you bring our clansmen to the Great Immortal Domain in less than a day?"
"I have my own ways. I can return to the Great Immortal Domain at any time in the blink of an eye!" Xiao Fan said: "Quickly bring me to the patriarch!"
"Fine, taking her back isn't a problem. The question is whether or not you can bring her back in time. Since you can do it, everything is fine. Let's go!"
In Heavenly Palace, the news of Xiao Fan's disappearance was spreading crazily, and in a short period of time, he had become the hottest topic of discussion.
This news came from the inner part of the ancient court, so it should be rather reliable.
However, no one understood why Xiao Fan had suddenly disappeared for no reason.
The whole night was the hardest for the people of the ancient court.
A night passed, and dawn arrived. Because of Xiao Fan's disappearance, everyone thought that Gu Ting would cancel today's engagement ceremony.
However, the ancient courtyard wasn't cancelled. Instead, it was held within the Heavenly Palace as usual. The banquet had already been prepared, and the disciples of the ancient courtyard were welcoming the guests to their seats.
No one could understand this extremely abnormal phenomenon. Even those who were secretly mocking the ancient courtyard could not understand.
Xiao Fan had gone missing, but they still could not find him.
It was almost noon, and the plaza of the Heavenly Palace was filled with invited guests. It was bustling with noise and excitement.
However, this kind of liveliness was not to congratulate the ancient court, but rather, it was an unfriendly discussion.
Inside the main hall, Xin Er was wearing a beautiful red dress and was holding the happy Fang Hong in one hand.
In the hall, other than Xin Er, there were Jiang Yan and her mother, Bai Qiuer, Bai Qing, Spirit City, Si Hao and the others.
Jiang Jingyuan and Jiang Yan walked in from the rear hall with serious expressions.
"Father, the engagement ceremony is about to begin. What happened?" Xin Er asked.
"That's right, my lord. What happened to Xiaofan? Where did he go? If he really did go missing, we won't believe it!" Jiang Yan stared at Jiang Jingyuan, asking him for a clear explanation.
Xiao Fan would not disappear without a reason, the news he received yesterday was definitely fake.
"Good!" I'll tell you guys one thing. Today's engagement day can also be the day of life and death in the ancient court. If you can't make it through, then you will all die! "
"Yesterday, Little Fan was tricked by Ao Wutian from the Divine Sect and wanted to trap him. Wait until the Divine Sect attacks my Ancient Court today so that Xiao Fan can see us being killed with his own eyes. Unfortunately, the Divine Sect's people can't trap Little Fan.
"Xiaofan's intention is to just let us know that he is missing. He wanted us to let the Divine Sect know that they have trapped Xiao Fan and planned to attack us today." Jiang Jingyuan explained, "You already know the reason, so you'll have to continue acting it out later!"
"I see. With my many years of military service, I could smell the smoke from the beginning. Something big must have happened behind Xiaofan's disappearance!" Xiao Yun said: "I just don't know if Xiao Fan is ready. Since the Divine Sect is coming to attack today, they must have definitely made sufficient preparations!"
"Don't worry, he's definitely ready!" Xin Er was very optimistic, she believed that Xiao Fan was ready.
"Father, it's about time. We have to go out and manage the engagement ceremony!" Jiang Yan looked at the time and said to Jiang Jingyuan.
"Good!" "Let's go out. It's time to continue the act!" Jiang Jingyuan said to the crowd.
In the plaza outside the main hall, the sounds of the guests' discussion were extremely intense, like the sound of running tides.
When Jiang Jingyuan held onto Xin Er and appeared together with Jiang Yan and the others, his voice was even louder.
How should Jiang Jingyuan manage the engagement ceremony, which lacked a main character?
"Everyone, be quiet. The engagement ceremony between my daughter and her son-in-law will begin soon. Please be quiet!" Jiang Jingyuan loudly shouted, his voice overshadowing the discussions of all the guests.
"Pavilion Master Jiang, I heard that your new son-in-law, Xiao Fan, has disappeared for a day and has not been found. Without a future groom, how can the engagement ceremony be held?"
"That's right, it can't be that you want to find someone to carry the bag for you, that'll be so funny!"
"No future betrothal ceremony attended by a bridegroom can be called an engagement ceremony. It's more like a ceremony!"
"Actually, what's so strange about that? There's a type of marriage, even betrothal to a dead person is possible, hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
The moment Jiang Jingyuan opened his mouth, waves of ridiculing and questioning voices flooded out from the guests like floodwaters. The mocking laughter was so ear-piercing!
