The true energy quickly detected the anomaly in a building, and the retrieval system also sounded an alarm.
"Well, I've found you here."
After obtaining the initial search results, Xu Fan no longer hesitated and decisively walked towards the building where the anomaly was discovered.
Upon arriving at the building, Xu Fan easily discovered that the location he had detected was actually in the basement, as the distance was already very short.
The Huang family had sent people to stop him time and time again, so there was no need to hide anything anymore. Therefore, Xu Fan swaggered into the basement.
However, Xu Fan arrived too late. The basement was already deserted, with only a few broken talismans floating on the ground.
Xu Fan stepped forward and picked up a talisman from the ground. Just holding the talisman in his hand, he felt a dense, stinging pain in his soul.
Xu Fan suddenly realized that the talismans must have been the reason he was emotionally affected earlier.
Xu Fan felt a sense of relief. Fortunately, he had regained his senses in time. If he had been unknowingly controlled by these people, anything could have happened given the church's methods.
However, if too much time is wasted here, it will be difficult to track down the vehicle that took Wang Pangzi away.
Daisy is in the hands of the Huang family, and now Fatty Wang is also under their control. It seems that I have no choice but to go to the Huang family today.
Just as Xu Fan was thinking this, his phone suddenly rang.
"Mr. Xu, is that right?"
A seductive female voice came from the telephone receiver; someone with a weak will might feel their bones soften upon hearing it.
Xu Fan held his phone in one hand, but didn't rush to speak.
The woman chuckled softly twice, then spoke seductively:
“Mr. Xu, this Mr. Wang claims to be your business partner. If you don’t say anything, we’ll consider him a fraudster.”
Xu Fan calmly replied, "That's right, he is my partner."
When Fatty Wang first approached Xu Fan, it was to film short videos related to the supernatural, so calling him a partner was perfectly reasonable.
The woman chuckled and said, "Since there's no problem with my identity, can we have a proper talk?"
"What's there to talk about?"
Huang Tianlin was not unfamiliar with Fatty Wang, nor was he unaware of the relationship between Fatty Wang and himself.
Since they had chosen to tie up Fatty Wang in front of them, there was no need to continue pretending with them.
"Mr. Xu, you really frighten me," the woman said softly. "But I think for the safety of your partner, you will do as we say, right?"
Now that Fatty Wang is in their hands, and Daisy is also involved with them, Xu Fan really has no way to refuse.
"Just tell me your conditions."
"Mr. Xu is indeed a man of few words. Then I will speak frankly."
"We'll send someone to pick up Mr. Xu later. As long as Mr. Xu does us a small favor, we guarantee to return his friend safely. Isn't that a very sincere offer?"
"Okay, but I need to talk to Fatty Wang first."
There was a moment of silence on the phone, followed by a faint murmur of noise.
"Brother Xu, you can't agree to their conditions."
Fatty Wang spoke anxiously into the phone receiver. At this point, Fatty Wang knew that Xu Fan was his lifeline. As long as Xu Fan was safe, these people would be hesitant to act against him.
Regardless of the circumstances, since Fatty Wang was being held captive and was still speaking up for him, Xu Fan had to rescue him.
"Alright, Fatty, I know what I'm doing. Just wait for me to arrive."
"Mr. Xu, now that you've spoken with your friend, shall we begin?"
"good."
Now that Xu Fan knew that the Huang family was under the control of the Tianmu Sect, he naturally wouldn't let them have their way.
All I have to do is stall them for time, and then I can send the two sisters, Honglian and Hongyu, to find Fatty Wang and Daisy.
As long as he can successfully find and rescue the person, Xu Fan will naturally not need to pay attention to what the Tianmu Sect wants him to do.
"By the way, Mr. Huang did remind us."
"I've heard that Mr. Xu has two beautiful female ghosts by his side. Surely, someone as chivalrous as Mr. Xu wouldn't let these two female ghosts handle such a trivial matter, would he?"
Xu Fan was helpless. The other party was practically telling him in broad daylight that as long as there were two female ghosts by his side, they would be prepared to face them, and he should not make any rash moves.
"Don't worry, I'll go alone."
"Mr. Xu is indeed a smart man. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Fan simply plopped down on the floor.
Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.
However, since it's something the Tianmu Sect wants him to do, it probably won't be an easy task.
The previous large-scale killings and pursuit had already exhausted Xu Fan's energy.
The best option is to take advantage of the time before the other party's personnel arrive and get yourself into the best possible condition.
About half an hour later, the sound of footsteps came from outside the basement door. Xu Fan, who had adjusted himself to his best state, suddenly opened his eyes.
At the same time, the basement door was pushed open, and an old man in a robe slowly walked in.
"It's you!"
Xu Fan's face darkened. If it weren't for this old guy stalling for time, no matter how capable the Huang family was, they wouldn't have been able to take Fatty Wang away from Xu Fan.
The old man in the long robe said nonchalantly, "Why is the young man so angry?"
Thinking about how he almost lost control of his emotions earlier, Xu Fan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Who exactly are you?"
The Night Watchers have files on most of the high-level supernatural beings and powerful humans in China, but Xu Fan had never known that there was such a person among the Ghost Emperors.
"China is such a vast country, it's normal for a few old geezers not recorded by the Night Watch to appear, isn't it?"
Strangely, he used to clearly dislike the Night's Watch when he spoke, but now he doesn't show that much hostility.
However, considering that the old man might have been putting on an act to provoke him earlier, Xu Fan didn't think much of it.
"Tell me, what does the Huang family want me to do?"
The old man chuckled and said, "It's not really a complicated matter. All you need to do is go to a place and help us find something."
