Old man Qiao came in front of everyone and faced Bing Jun to say, "Young master Bing, we thank you for your kind intentions, but we will not accept the terms of the Tai Stellar Kingdom."

Everyone except the experts of the nine great factions had their chins drop to the ground. It was impossible for them to bring this chin back up as they looked at old man Qiao in shock.

Bing Jun and Huo Fei immediately knitted their brows as soon as they heard this and they silently looked at old man Qiao.

As they stared at him, there was a silent pressure that fell onto old man Qiao, but he faced this silent pressure with a calm look on his face. It was almost as if he didn't feel the pressure coming from them at all.

Of course, he was a True Soul Realm Expert, so he had the abilities of one. This silent pressure from this younger generation wasn't able to faze him at all.

After silently staring for a bit, Bing Jun finally raised his voice to say, "Qiao Yi Yin, are you certain about this decision?"

There was a strong threatening tone in his voice and even more so, there was a disrespectful tone in his voice.

Old man Qiao was in the generation above his own, but Bing Jun didn't hesitate to say his full name. It was clear that Bing Jun didn't respect old man Qiao as his senior.

But old man Qiao ignored this and said, "We thank you for the opportunity, but unfortunately we are not blessed to enjoy this."

Then without even caring, he turned to leave.

A vein popped out on Bing Jun's forehead when he heard this, but he also quickly turned to the other remaining leaders of the twelve great factions and asked in a low and deep voice, "Is there anyone else that feels the same as Qiao Yi Yin?"

At that moment, the rest of the leaders of the nine great factions gave bows to Bing Jun and rejected his offer before leaving without giving him a chance to say anything else.

Bing Jun and Huo Fei were just left there with stunned looks on their faces as they couldn't understand what had just happened.

Were these people idiots?

No, to be able to become the leader of these organizations, they clearly were not idiots.

So how could they not understand the consequences of their actions?

This was equal to cutting off all future paths for their organizations?

Unless there was something that they didn't know about?

But how could that be possible?

At that moment, they couldn't help thinking of the cloaked man who had helped Lin Fan that day. The familiar feeling that they had felt, it was the same feeling that they had felt from the experts of their family.

It was an aura that shouldn't exist in this realm since it was the aura of the Star Realm! That meant that the cloaked figure was someone in the World Realm, an expert that should be found in a Stellar Kingdom.

For that kind of expert to lower themselves and come here to protect someone like Lin Fan…

Could it be that Lin Fan had some connection to a Stellar Kingdom?

If that were true, they could finally understand why these factions were willing to go against them.

As soon as this thought passed through their mind, they immediately turned to Lin Fan, lost in thought, who was still standing there among the crowd of people.

They immediately narrowed their eyes and also fell into thought before Bing Jun gave a nod to Huo Fei. Huo Fei returned this nod before Bing Jun headed through the crowd.

When these people saw Bing Jun coming over, they could immediately tell that they weren't his target since his eyes had never been on them once while he was walking. His eyes were clearly looking at something that was behind them.

Since that was the case, they didn't hesitate at all to clear the path for Bing Jun.

The path continued until the area around Lin Fan was cleared out.

Lin Fan had been lost in thought, so he hadn't noticed Bing Jun coming over. However, when the crowd around him dispersed and created the area around him, he had no choice but to acknowledge Bing Jun who was standing in front of him.

Lin Fan carefully waited to see what Bing Jun was up to.

However, to his surprise, Bing Jun didn't have the same aggressive tone as he did with the representatives of the twelve great factions. Instead, he revealed a faint smile as he said in a gentle voice, "Brother in law, thank you for coming."

Everyone around them narrowed their eyes as they started looking at Lin Fan.

This was someone that Bing Jun was treating nicely, there was no doubt that this was someone who was close to him. If he was someone close to Bing Jun, then he could be used to build a relationship with Bing Jun.

So in their minds, many people had already started remembering Lin Fan.

After a pause, Bing Jun continued in a more serious voice, "Brother in law, it will become much more trying in the future, so you should bring Xue'er and the in laws to the True Spirit Sect. I promise that I will do what I can to protect you all."

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this.

But at the same time, this made his decision much easier.

It seemed that no matter what Bing Jun wouldn't give up on Lin Xue. Since that was the case, then…

Lin Fan's eyes turned cold as he said, "There's no need for that young master Bing. Our family can take care of ourselves."

Bing Jun knitted his brows when he heard this and he continued in a much darker voice, "It'll be much more dangerous than you think. You alone won't be able to protect your family. It's better if you just bring everyone to my side and let me protect them. After all, I am the young master of the Bing Family, one of the Four Great Families of the Tai Stellar Kingdom."

The way that he threw his title around made it clear that he was trying to pressure Lin Fan with the power of his family, but Lin Fan didn't crumble under this.

He just looked right into Bing Jun's eyes as he said, "I'm sure that young master Bing is capable of this, but our family does not need your grace."

Then he immediately turned around to leave, but Bing Jun's cold voice rang out from behind him, "Even if your family is attacked by others?"

The meaning behind his words were clear and that touched Lin Fan's bottom line.

Lin Fan turned around with a cold gaze in his eyes and said in a low voice, "Why don't you ask your dog He Wuji how that turned out?"

This time, he had completely thrown out all courtesy and had directly called He Wuji a dog to Bing Jun's face. At the same time, he revealed that he knew everything about the circumstances of He Wuji's attack.

While he did lose himself in his anger, he also kept a bit of sanity.

He was using this verbal attack to probe Bing Jun to see what he knew and what he wanted to know.

Bing Jun's face turned dark when he heard this and he said, "Brother in law, these people won't be as simple as you think." Then ignoring the whole He Wuji taunt, he added, "You won't be able to protect them alone."

Lin Fan just said, "Thank you for your concern, but this is our family's business."

Bing Jun then added, "If you think that the person who saved you previously can save you again, that is unlikely. It will be people that are stronger than that person."

Lin Fan knitted his brows at this, but deep down, he was happy to hear this since he had finally gotten a piece of useful information.

To put it simply, they were scared because they thought that he was connected to another Stellar Kingdom, so they wanted information on that cloaked figure that had saved him before.

Lin Fan had noted their expressions when they saw this cloaked figure and thought that this cloaked figure should be an expert from a Stellar Kingdom. After all, he was able to easily deal with Ling Tian, the True Soul Realm Expert, which meant that he should be in the realm above the Soul Realm.

So other than trying to get Lin Xue, Bing Jun was also here looking for information on this cloaked figure.

But unfortunately for him, Lin Fan didn't have any information on this cloaked figure. In fact, he didn't know why an expert from a Stellar Kingdom was protecting him.

After all, he was nothing more than someone from a lower realm and had never made any connections to a Stellar Kingdom…No, he had a connection with the Chu Stellar Kingdom, but they were far away from this place, so it was impossible for them to send anyone.

Not to mention that Chu Ting didn't seem like she had that much power, so it was unlikely that she could send an expert to help him.

So where did this cloaked person come from?

But this was not the time to think about this. Lin Fan just calmly looked at Bing Jun and said, "We'll have to see then."

Then without another word, he turned to leave.

Bing Jun just stared at him for a bit before turning and leaving with a cold snort as well.

It was like this, that this meeting was ended.
