Chapter 622
"Finally back, huh..." Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Is he alone? Where is Immortal Lord Ziyun?"
In an instant, Li Fan had already played out the possible scenarios of their confrontation in his mind.
These included, but were not limited to:
1. Immortal Lord Hong Xi, facing the reality of being stripped of power and authority, launching a vigorous counterattack. Relying on the influence of his Soul Transformation cultivation, he could instantly regain the support of the majority of cultivators.
2. Alternatively, Immortal Lord Hong Xi might appear calm and cooperative on the surface while secretly biding his time. Once Li Fan relaxed his guard, he could strike swiftly and decisively, reversing the situation. In the end, Li Fan could be removed under a trumped-up charge.
However, what Li Fan never anticipated was that when Immortal Lord Hong Xi actually met him, there was no tension or hostility. Instead, Hong Xi burst into hearty laughter and gave him a big hug.
Li Fan's body stiffened slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"Are we even that close?" he thought to himself.
