Seeing the elders repelled, Lu Fan did not hesitate and immediately unleashed the Tian Xing Jue, stepping out of the Volcano Sect.
With the Fire Lotus Ganoderma in hand, he had no need to linger. He was well aware that deeper within the Volcano Sect lay a more formidable existence. If such a being were to emerge, it would undoubtedly stir up trouble, a fact Lu Fan understood all too well.
"Stop him! We absolutely cannot let him leave the Volcano Sect!"
An elder spoke, his eyes burning with killing intent. Lu Fan's unbridled rampage within the Volcano Sect had cost them dearly. If they couldn't even stop him, how would they account for themselves in the future?
Numerous disciples, without hesitation, moved towards Lu Fan. Though they were no match for him, they would charge forward without regret if it meant delaying him.
"You lot are no match for me!"
Lu Fan's expression turned cold. He slammed his foot onto the ground, unleashing a terrifying surge of energy with every step.
*Boom...*
Another powerful aura erupted, sending the disciples flying. Despair filled their eyes. Perhaps this was what true strength looked like to them.
As Lu Fan neared the exit of the Volcano Sect, the elders' faces turned grim. They had been heavily injured and knew it was impossible for them to stop him.
However, just then, Lu Fan felt a terrifying aura that made him tremble. His gaze grew serious. He knew the true power of the Volcano Sect was about to reveal itself. If he couldn't escape now, he would perish here today.
"Young man, you have quite the nerve! Daring to trespass into the Volcano Sect alone!"
An ancient voice echoed throughout the Volcano Sect, causing the entire mountain to shake.
"We respectfully welcome the Old Ancestor!"
The elders bowed in unison, their eyes filled with joy. Now that the Old Ancestor had emerged, Lu Fan was doomed. They no longer had to worry.
The disciples were also excited. After so many years, they had never seen the Old Ancestor, and today they were fortunate enough to witness him.
Lu Fan fled desperately but was still suppressed by the powerful aura. Even with all his might, his resistance seemed to have no effect against this elder.
"I truly never imagined the Volcano Sect would harbor such a powerful individual!"
Lu Fan stomped on the ground, his gaze fixed on the white-haired elder. This elder was far more powerful than Elder Hua of Cang Long Academy, meaning this individual before him was likely a true Battle Emperor level expert. If that were the case, Lu Fan was in grave danger today.
"Young man, you've learned bad habits!"
The Old Ancestor's expression was indifferent as he stood in the void, looking at Lu Fan. "Do you know that the Volcano Sect was founded by me? Your reckless actions today, are you trying to provoke my Volcano Sect!"
"This junior dares not provoke the Volcano Sect, it was merely out of necessity!"
Lu Fan clasped his fists and said, "If I weren't trying to save someone, I wouldn't have trespassed into the Volcano Sect, nor would I have acted this way!"
"No matter the reason, you cannot be so reckless within the Volcano Sect!"
The Old Ancestor stated directly, "However, at such a young age, to possess such cultivation is truly astonishing. If you hand over the Fire Lotus Ganoderma, I will spare your life!"
"Old Ancestor, this fellow trespassed into the Volcano Sect and injured many disciples. We cannot let him go easily!"
An elder interjected, "If we let him go, wouldn't it be like letting a tiger return to the mountains, and it would also damage the prestige of the Volcano Sect."
"We implore the Old Ancestor to suppress him!"
The other elders also clasped their fists, their expressions solemn. Lu Fan's reckless intrusion and the injuries he inflicted had long since fueled their resentment, and they would not allow him to leave so easily.
"This child's talent is extraordinary. Wouldn't it be a pity to suppress him!"
The Old Ancestor waved his hand and looked at Lu Fan, "Hand over the Fire Lotus Ganoderma!"
"Old Ancestor's strength is immense, a Battle Emperor level expert. Even if I fight with all my might, I likely won't be able to escape with my life!"
Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "But the Fire Lotus Ganoderma is extremely important to me, and I will never hand it over!"
"At such a young age, your talent is exceptional. This old man quite fancies you!"
The Old Ancestor chuckled softly, "But if you insist on this path, you will likely perish here! The Fire Lotus Ganoderma is not something you can take away!"
"Since that is the case, I will test it with my life!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly and then shot towards the sky. Even facing a Battle Emperor, Lu Fan would not retreat. He knew very well what his actions entailed.
"I will go with you!"
At that very moment, a voice rang out, and Long Yi arrived, bringing with him a gust of wind and an immense aura.
The Old Ancestor narrowed his eyes and looked at Long Yi, "I truly didn't expect there to be another. I miscalculated."
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to come?"
Lu Fan frowned. "Your coming here is of no use, and you'll only end up perishing here."
"Lin was poisoned because of me. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have been poisoned!"
Long Yi stated directly, "So I don't want you to bear this alone. If we die, we die together!"
Lu Fan was somewhat helpless. He never imagined Long Yi would be so persistent, even willing to risk his life.
"Even if the two of you attack, you will still be no match for me!"
The Old Ancestor said coldly, "I advise you not to court your own destruction."
"How will we know if we don't try!"
Lu Fan smiled, "I've never encountered an Emperor level expert before. Even if I die, I want to die with understanding!"
"Since that is the case, this old man will fulfill your wish!"
The Volcano Old Ancestor laughed heartily, a red glow surging around him. As an Emperor level expert, anyone in his eyes was like an ant, and no one could dispute this.
Long Yi did not hesitate and was the first to charge towards the Volcano Old Ancestor, unleashing a powerful aura. Now that he had reached the ninth stage of Battle Emperor, he was no ordinary person. If he were to forcefully attack, even against a Battle Emperor, he might still have a chance to fight.
Seeing Long Yi's desperate charge, Lu Fan dared not delay and quickly joined the fray, unleashing his own formidable energy.
*Boom...*
Suddenly, a massive collision echoed throughout the Volcano Sect, stirring up a monstrous wave that sent the disciples scattering. They had never witnessed such a terrifying aura before.
"Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, to dare oppose the Old Ancestor!" Su Dan Novel Network
An elder said coldly, "But they do have some backbone, unwilling to surrender the Fire Lotus Ganoderma even in death!"
"It's just a pity that these two young individuals will die in the Volcano Sect!"
The other elders commented, their expressions indifferent. After all, both Lu Fan and Long Yi displayed formidable talent. If the Old Ancestor hadn't personally intervened, the entire Volcano Sect might have been annihilated.
It was a pity that the Old Ancestor had reached such a high realm, far beyond Lu Fan and the others' control.
