Unfortunately, the powerful spiritual energy within Lu Fan proved useless. Even without exerting his full strength, Lu Fan remained unharmed, his expression indifferent.
"How is this possible!"
The Elf Queen retreated, her eyes filled with disbelief. She had never imagined that she, a top expert in the Ziwei Realm, could not move Lu Fan even slightly, catching her completely off guard.
"Nothing is impossible!"
Lu Fan spoke, "You are no match for me. Why don't you let your old flame come out? I'm rather curious to see what level this cross-realm expert has reached!"
The Elf Queen's expression shifted, and she began to retreat backward, seemingly intending to leave.
However, in that very instant, Lu Fan restrained her. "I'll give you one more chance. If you don't speak, you might perish here today. I'm absolutely not joking!"
"Emperor Shenfeng is not in the Elf Dynasty!"
The Elf Queen declared, "Otherwise, this would hardly be a place for you to run wild!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly and, seizing control of the Elf Queen, continued, "Since he's not here, I'll wait for him here. I'm quite eager to see if this Emperor Shenfeng is truly as formidable as they say!"
"He is called Emperor for a reason, and you cannot possibly contend with him!"
The Elf Queen said coldly, "I advise you to think carefully and not cut off your own retreat!"
"Too much nonsense!"
Lu Fan delivered a slap without the slightest hint of gentleness. Su Dan Novel Network.
The people of the Elf Dynasty were utterly shocked. This was their supreme Elf Queen, being struck with no chance to retaliate.
"My goodness, who is this person! He dares to strike the Elf Queen. If Emperor Shenfeng finds out, will he even survive?"
"Who can say! He's simply too audacious, not even respecting the Elf Queen!"
Conversations erupted, and everyone spoke with serious expressions.
Meanwhile, the Elf Queen was completely bewildered. She had never encountered anyone who dared to lay hands on her.
"If you behave, I can let you live!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "Otherwise, you might die here today. I doubt that's what you desire!"
Following these words, the Elf Queen hesitated for a moment before smiling and saying, "It was all my fault just now. I hope Your Excellency will not hold it against me. For as long as you wish to stay in the Elf Palace, I have no complaints!"
"That's more like it!"
Lu Fan nodded, a smile appearing on his face.
Not long after, Lu Fan and the ancestor of the Imperial Dragon Dynasty arrived at the Elf Dynasty's palace. A grand banquet was laid out within the palace, looking magnificent and opulent.
The members of the Elf tribe prostrated themselves, appearing somewhat terrified.
The arrival of Lu Fan and his companions clearly instilled a sense of urgency in them.
"I've prepared a little something. I hope you won't find it wanting!"
The Elf Queen spoke with a sincere smile.
"You are too kind!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "However, I am curious as to when Emperor Shenfeng will arrive? I am eager to have a good spar with him!"
"I'm not entirely sure where Lord Shenfeng has gone, but he visits me once every fifteenth of the month," the Elf Queen stated. "If Your Excellency is willing to wait, you should be able to meet him soon!"
"The fifteenth of every month?"
Lu Fan blinked slightly. "Could it be that he comes to absorb Yin to supplement Yang?"
The Elf Queen's expression changed, her face flushing slightly at Lu Fan's insinuation. She hadn't expected Lu Fan to speak so directly.
"This Emperor Shenfeng is truly a scoundrel, engaging in such practices!" Lu Fan shook his head. "If I'm not mistaken, he must be an old geezer, right? After all, those who are this powerful are usually quite elderly!"
The Elf Queen gave an awkward laugh. "Emperor Shenfeng is indeed somewhat advanced in years, but his strength is likely among the top existences in the entire Ziwei Realm!"
"So, to appease a powerful figure, you would sell your very soul?"
Lu Fan shrugged, his words carrying a significant undertone.
The Elf Queen stood frozen, feeling a sense of helplessness within. She understood Lu Fan's implications perfectly.
However, in the Ziwei Realm, aligning oneself with a powerful individual might not be a bad thing for her.
"Actually, my lord is also quite good. Would you consider him?"
Zhao Xiaotian smiled and said, "That way, you wouldn't have to be with that old geezer!"
"This..."
The Elf Queen glanced at Lu Fan, her gaze instantly becoming alluring. Faced with a choice between an old geezer and a vigorous young man, she naturally chose the latter.
"Cough, cough... No, no, no!"
Lu Fan chuckled awkwardly. "I don't have such intentions. I merely wish to have a fight with that Emperor Shenfeng!"
"Your Excellency, if you can truly defeat Emperor Shenfeng, I will follow you from now on!"
The Elf Queen's expression was serious as she looked at Lu Fan, her demeanor solemn.
It seemed that power was the most important thing in her eyes, and other matters held no significance.
"Cough, cough..."
Lu Fan cleared his throat but offered no reply, his expression growing more indifferent, as if everything was within his control.
After residing in the Elf Dynasty for several days, Emperor Shenfeng still had not appeared. Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly. He had been in the Ziwei Realm for quite some time but had yet to encounter anyone truly capable, which left him feeling rather helpless.
Meanwhile, in another part of the palace, the Elf Queen sat in the main seat, flanked by numerous elders of the Elf tribe, their expressions grave.
"Esteemed elders, our Elf tribe has never suffered such humiliation in the Ziwei Realm. Do any of you have a solution?" the Elf Queen inquired. "If Emperor Shenfeng does not appear, are we truly without recourse?"
"Within the Elf Forest, there is a special formation, passed down from the ancient eras of the Elf tribe!"
The Third Elder spoke, "If we can lure him into the Elf Forest and trap him within the formation, he will be unable to escape!"
"Indeed, the formations of the Elf Dynasty are remnants of ancient times. It is said that even divine-level experts might not be able to break through them!"
Many other elders chimed in, their eyes gleaming with insight.
The Elf Queen's eyes sparkled; she suddenly felt this method was feasible. As long as Lu Fan could be suppressed, she would have nothing to fear.
"In that case, esteemed elders, let us all proceed to the Elf Forest and set up the formation!"
The Elf Queen declared, "Perhaps this way, we can suppress him, and our Elf Dynasty will not have to endure such disgrace!"
