The Divine Fox clan members looked at each other with strange expressions upon hearing Lin Fan's words. His statement made them feel as though they had been in the wrong.
"Alright, there's no need for further discussion. Return to the Fox Clan as soon as possible!" Lin Fan waved his hand. "The Lord of the Divine Dragon Clan has agreed that from now on, no one in the entire Northern Abyss will trouble the Fox Clan. You can all rest assured!"
"Really?"
Nine-tailed Fox's eyes lit up with joy, and her gaze grew more solemn. If this were true, their Divine Fox clan would no longer have to live in such distress.
"When have I ever lied to you!"
Lu Fan shrugged and then stepped into the Divine Dragon Clan's territory, appearing quite leisurely.
Back at the banquet, the Lord of the Divine Dragon Clan smiled and asked, "How was it? Did they all leave?"
"Naturally, they left!"
Lu Fan chuckled. "Fortunately, we didn't end up fighting today. Otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome!"
"Little friend Lu, what are your plans now?" the Dragon Clan Chief asked with a smile. "Will you return to the Divine Clan or remain in the Northern Abyss?"
"I'm afraid I can't go back to the Divine Clan,"
Lu Fan shook his head. "I can only stay in the Northern Abyss and observe the situation."
"May I ask what grievances you have with the Divine Clan, Little friend Lu, that led you to this point?"
The Dragon Clan Chief spoke earnestly, without any hint of evasion.
"Let's not dwell on past grievances,"
Lu Fan waved his hand, his gaze becoming more indifferent, as if these matters were not worth mentioning in his eyes.
Seeing this, the Dragon Clan Chief did not press further. Sudan Novel Network.
"After a few rounds of drinks, I should be going," Lu Fan said, cupping his fists. "However, I must thank the Dragon Clan Chief today for sparing the Fox Clan."
"It's a small matter, nothing to be thanked for!" the Dragon Clan Chief smiled. "But speaking of which, why do you value the Fox Clan so much, Little friend Lu?"
"The Fox Clan has had a difficult journey,"
Lu Fan chuckled. "If I hadn't lent them my support, the Fox Clan would likely be extinct in this Northern Abyss."
The Dragon Clan Chief nodded slightly and asked nothing more.
After Lu Fan left, Tianlong looked at the Dragon Clan Chief and said, "Father, he is my master and my friend. I do not wish for the Divine Dragon Clan to come into conflict with him."
"Silly child, of course, your father knows!"
The Dragon Clan Chief smiled, appearing even more detached.
He understood Tianlong's intentions perfectly. However, there was one thing he was clear about: the interests of the Divine Dragon Clan came first. If anyone obstructed the development of the Divine Dragon Clan, no matter who they were, they would have to pay the price.
As the Dragon Clan Chief returned to his courtyard, the Divine Dragon Elder hurried over. "Clan Chief, how do you view today's events?"
"As long as it doesn't affect our plans, we don't need to interfere,"
The Dragon Clan Chief waved his hand. "Are the various armies of the Northern Abyss ready?"
"Clan Chief, rest assured, they have all been assembled. If we were to attack the Divine Clan, we would surely deliver a thunderous blow!"
The Divine Dragon Elder's eyes held a solemnity and a powerful aura.
He was well aware that once a war broke out, there would be immense casualties on both sides.
However, this war was unavoidable, as either the Northern Abyss or the Divine Clan would eventually fall.
They understood the principle that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
Meanwhile, within the Divine Clan, Shangguan Shenjun of the Heavenly Pavilion was in a state of madness, his emotions highly unstable. With the slightest provocation, he would kill a Heavenly God.
Ever since his defeat by Lu Fan last time, it was as if a demon had taken root in his heart, causing great worry among the many Heavenly Gods of the Divine Clan.
They knew very well that if Shangguan Shenjun continued on this path, it would be a disaster of extinction for the entire Divine Clan.
"Old Heavenly God, we have just received news that the Divine Dragon Clan is gathering forces and may be planning to act against our Divine Clan!"
A Heavenly God spoke, his eyes filled with solemnity. They were well aware that given the current state of the Divine Clan, if a war were to break out, they would suffer heavy losses.
Without a normal Shenjun, they were like a scattered pile of sand, easily defeated.
"Shangguan Shenjun is mentally unsound. If the people of the Northern Abyss attack, we may not be able to resist!"
The Old Heavenly God frowned. "What should we do now? Must our dignified Divine Clan truly fall to such a state!"
"There is more than one Shenjun within the Divine Clan!"
The surrounding Heavenly Gods spoke. "That Shenjun's strength is even greater. If we can invite him back to oversee the entire Divine Clan, let alone the Northern Abyss, even the entire Divine Realm, our Divine Clan can become the true overlord!"
"That Shenjun?"
The Old Heavenly God's brow furrowed. He naturally knew who they were referring to.
However, Lu Fan had left in anger and harbored a deep aversion to the Divine Clan. Inviting him back would likely not be easy.
"Old Heavenly God, this is also our only recourse. Without a Shenjun to guard us, the entire Divine Clan will be annihilated, and we will become sinners for eternity!"
The Heavenly Gods spoke, their eyes filled with seriousness. The situation had not unfolded as they had wished, but they were now helpless.
The Old Heavenly God frowned. The outcome he least wished to see had finally occurred, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.
"Alas, alas. Since things have come to this, I will personally make a trip to the Northern Abyss. If that Shenjun is willing to act, it will be the good fortune of our Divine Clan!" the Old Heavenly God sighed.
"We thank you, Old Heavenly God!"
The Heavenly Gods cupped their fists in unison, their expressions extremely solemn.
They knew very well that this matter was of great importance. Only by inviting Lu Fan back would their Divine Clan have a glimmer of hope.
In the territory of the Fox Clan, Six-tailed Fox sat beside Nine-tailed Fox and murmured, "Master has found his mount, and it's from the Divine Dragon Clan. He probably won't come back, right?"
"Whether he comes back or not, in our hearts, he will always be our Master!" Nine-tailed Fox spoke solemnly.
Without Lu Fan, the entire Divine Fox clan would likely have been exterminated. They understood this clearly.
Six-tailed Fox also nodded solemnly, taking Nine-tailed Fox's words to heart.
Not long after, everyone clearly felt a surge of powerful energy. Lu Fan's figure appeared within the Fox Clan, his gaze indifferent.
Seeing this scene, the Fox Clan members rejoiced.
They had initially thought that Lu Fan would not return, but they had not expected him to do so.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Lu Fan was bewildered and looked at everyone, his heart filled with confusion.
"We thought Master wouldn't be coming back!" Six-tailed Fox said with a smile. "It seems we worried unnecessarily!"
"I can't stay with the Divine Dragon Clan forever, can I?" Lu Fan shrugged. "Of course, I have to come back!"
Six-tailed Fox also stood up abruptly and pulled Lu Fan along, her actions displaying a girlish enthusiasm.
