"I have no intention of being an enemy of the Snow Mountain Sect!"
Lu Fan clasped his fists again. "It's just that my wife is poisoned and in critical condition. Only the Snow Mountain Lotus from the Snow Mountain Sect can cure her. I hope the elder can be accommodating!"
"What does your wife's poisoning have to do with our Snow Mountain Sect?" The Fifth Elder said coldly, "I advise you to leave as soon as possible and not cause trouble here. Otherwise, you will surely never return!"
The Fifth Elder was not polite. He had no good feelings towards anyone who coveted the Snow Mountain Lotus, let alone Lu Fan's aggressive actions within the Snow Mountain Sect. As an elder of the Snow Mountain Sect, he was naturally quite displeased.
"Perhaps we should leave first!"
Long Yi spoke, "When it's 10 PM, we can sneak into the Snow Mountain Sect. It might be easier that way!"
"We've already alerted them. They won't let us succeed!"
Lu Fan shook his head. "Since they are unwilling to lend us the Snow Lotus, I will have to take matters into my own hands!"
Long Yi was somewhat helpless. The Snow Mountain Sect was an ancient sect, and its foundation and strength were extraordinary. Long Yi naturally did not wish for Lu Fan to fall out with the Snow Mountain Sect.
"What, it seems you don't plan to leave!"
The Fifth Elder's expression was indifferent. "Do you perhaps wish to spar?"
"I have already said that I have no intention of being an enemy of the Snow Mountain Sect, but if I cannot get the Snow Lotus today, I will not leave easily!" Lu Fan's expression was solemn.
The Fifth Elder's face darkened. He understood Lu Fan's intentions perfectly, but these words filled him with dissatisfaction. At least in his eyes, Lu Fan was threatening the entire Snow Mountain Sect.
If the Snow Mountain Sect did not hand over the Snow Lotus, they would not have peace.
"Where are the disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect!" The Fifth Elder's expression was icy.
"Disciples are here!"
Numerous disciples responded, exuding a powerful aura, their gazes fixed on Lu Fan.
As disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect, they absolutely would not allow anyone to dare to act recklessly within the Snow Mountain Sect.
"Take them all down! Those who dare to offend the Snow Mountain Sect will be severely punished!" The Fifth Elder was unapologetic.
The disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect did not hesitate, stepping towards Lu Fan. With the Fifth Elder present, they had nothing to fear.
Sensing the Fifth Elder's hostility, Lu Fan also frowned. He had initially wanted to be polite, but it seemed unlikely now. If he didn't show some skill, it would be almost impossible to take the Snow Lotus away.
"I didn't want to make a move, but since the Snow Mountain Sect is so unreasonable, I can only resort to force to seize it!"
Lu Fan's expression turned cold. He had just heard that the Sect Master of the Snow Mountain Sect was not present. It would be best to act now. As long as Lin Ke could awaken, Lu Fan would have no complaints, no matter what he did.
"What arrogance! Go ahead and try. I want to see what kind of skills you possess to dare to trespass into my Snow Mountain Sect!"
The Fifth Elder's expression was icy. His body transformed into a gust of wind, and he struck Lu Fan with a palm. As a seventh-stage Battle Emperor, he held considerable authority within the entire Snow Mountain Sect.
However, he never expected a wild youth from outside to be so arrogant in front of him, not taking him seriously, and even speaking with such flippancy. How could he tolerate this?
Sensing such an aura, Lu Fan was unfazed. His body shot up into the sky and then slammed down onto the ground. A powerful aftershock swept out. Before the disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect could get close, they were injured by this powerful internal force, unable to even fight back.
Even the Fifth Elder was sent flying, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Even as an elder of the Snow Mountain Sect and a seventh-stage Emperor realm expert, he could not withstand such terrifying power.
"How is this possible!"
The Fifth Elder stabilized himself, his eyes filled with disbelief. "How could you possibly achieve this!"
"I apologize for the offense just now, but I must have the Snow Lotus!"
Lu Fan's expression was cold as he strode towards the Snow Mountain Sect. There was no hint of evasion in his eyes, only surging anger. He hadn't wanted to act, but now it seemed only by force could he obtain what he desired.
The Fifth Elder was filled with unwillingness but was helpless. The strength displayed by Lu Fan was enough to make him retreat. If Lu Fan had not shown mercy earlier, he would have ceased to exist.
With such a terrifying aura, even the Grand Elder might not fare well if he were to act.
At this moment, in the elder hall of the Snow Mountain Sect, all the elders stood up, their eyes filled with surprise. The entire Snow Mountain Sect had been shaken just now, which showed how powerful the aura of the battle was.
It was likely not an ordinary expert, otherwise, such a commotion would not have occurred.
"You all accompany me. Who is it that has such power!"
The Grand Elder's expression was cold. It had been a hundred years since anyone had come to the Snow Mountain Sect, but he never expected that the first visitor would cause such a stir, even attempting to overturn the entire Snow Mountain Sect.
The other elders nodded and frowned. The ability to cause such a commotion indicated that the visitor was not friendly. However, they were all seasoned individuals, elders of the Snow Mountain Sect, and naturally remained composed.
Not long after, the elders arrived outside the Snow Mountain Sect. The Fifth Elder was constantly retreating, while Lu Fan pressed forward.
"Fifth Brother, why is there blood on your mouth?" The Third Elder frowned. "Could he really have such strength? To injure you?"
"This child's strength is extraordinary!"
The Fifth Elder said, "He had already heavily injured me without even using his full strength. You all must be very careful."
"I only want the Snow Lotus, and I do not wish to be enemies with any of you!"
Lu Fan clasped his fists. "Although the Snow Lotus is the treasure of the Snow Mountain Sect, there are quite a few of them. If you could bestow one, I would be eternally grateful. No matter what happens to the Snow Mountain Sect, I will not hesitate to help!"
"That's easy to say. Although there are many Snow Lotuses, they are also extremely precious. How can they be easily given to others!" The Third Elder said coldly, "Moreover, you acted within our Snow Mountain Sect. If we really give you the Snow Lotus, what will become of our Snow Mountain Sect's reputation?"
"A life is at stake. If it were not for this, why would I have acted so forcefully!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "It is true that I was wrong today, but I must obtain the Snow Lotus!"
"Young man, why be so impulsive!"
The Grand Elder smiled. "Do you know that if you take another step forward, you will be violating the rules of our Snow Mountain Sect? If you anger the Snow Mountain Sect, you will likely suffer the consequences."
"I already said, my wife is poisoned and needs the Snow Lotus!"
Lu Fan spoke again, his tone becoming somewhat impatient. These people treated human lives as if they were nothing. Even though they could easily produce the Snow Lotus, they were unwilling to act. Lu Fan understood this clearly.
"What a joke. What does your wife's life or death have to do with our Snow Mountain Sect?" The Third Elder said coldly, "We advise you to leave as soon as possible!"
