Boom…
A deafening roar erupted at the border of the Dragon Country. Du Qianqiu resisted with all his might, but Lu Fan’s formidable strength, coupled with the power of the Great Desolation Annihilation Heavenly Palm martial art, made it difficult for him to withstand. Blood trickled from his lips, and his body was sent reeling back over ten meters.
“Elders, heed my command! Capture him!”
The Fourth Elder, seeing that the time was ripe, spoke out with considerable authority. The other elders immediately attacked, holding nothing back.
As the Dragon Country’s strongest fighting force, they could not afford any delay. If they failed to apprehend Du Qianqiu today, how could the Dragon Country maintain its dignity?
“Just you lot? You’re not qualified!”
Du Qianqiu’s expression was cold. He stomped his foot on the ground, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to tremble. The elders’ stances became unstable, preventing them from advancing.
“You’ve already been defeated, yet you dare to be arrogant!”
Lu Fan stepped into the air, his palm imbued with internal energy, and struck fiercely at Du Qianqiu. He had no intention of showing mercy; the revenge for his clan’s annihilation was an irreconcilable hatred.
Lu Fan knew very well that eliminating Du Qianqiu would bring nothing but benefits to the Dragon Country.
“You cannot kill me. If you kill me, you will not know who the true mastermind behind this is!” Du Qianqiu said earnestly.
“The mastermind?”
Lu Fan’s face darkened, and he simultaneously withdrew his attacking force. “What do you mean by that?”
“It wasn’t I who wanted the Star Meteorite; someone else did. I was merely acting on their behalf!”
Du Qianqiu stated directly, “You must have also noticed that your Lu family is not as simple as it seems!”
“Who exactly is it? Who else is behind this?”
Lu Fan’s eyes were grim. “Why would they do this?”
“If you spare my life, I will tell you everything!” Du Qianqiu said frankly. “If you insist on killing me, you will likely learn nothing!”
“Are you threatening me?”
Lu Fan’s face was cold. “I will not be threatened by anyone. Even if there is someone behind this, I will definitely find them!”
“There are some people you cannot afford to offend!”
Du Qianqiu stated directly, “Have you ever heard of Cang Long Academy?”
“Cang Long Academy?”
The elders trembled violently, their gazes shifting towards Du Qianqiu. This term was spoken with considerable reticence, as if they were reluctant to mention it.
“I have never heard of Cang Long Academy!”
Lu Fan shook his head. “But what is the origin of this Cang Long Academy, and what is its connection to the Lu family?”
“I am not entirely clear, but the higher-ups of Cang Long Academy knew that the Lu family possessed the Star Meteorite and ordered me to search for it for 30 years!”
Du Qianqiu stated directly, “As long as you let me go, I can take you to Cang Long Academy!”
“Do not listen to his nonsense!”
The Fourth Elder spoke out. “Cang Long Academy ceased to exist long ago. Even if it still exists, it would never easily reveal itself.”
“Meaning, within the Dragon Country, there are even more powerful entities?” Lu Fan asked with a hint of curiosity. “If that is the case, why did Cang Long Academy not send any experts when the Cang Qiong Country invaded?”
“Cang Long Academy holds a position of supreme importance; why would they care about a war between nations!”
Du Qianqiu stated directly, “They care about absolute power. If they covet the Lu family’s Star Meteorite, they will take notice.”
“Thank you for the reminder today!” Su Dan Novel Network
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. “However, you are destined to die today!”
“You still intend to kill me?”
Du Qianqiu’s expression turned grim. He hadn’t expected Lu Fan to still want to kill him after he had revealed everything.
“Regardless, you are the enemy who annihilated my clan. How could I let you live well!”
Lu Fan smiled faintly. “I think you should just accept your fate!”
“Your true enemy is not me. Since you still want to kill me, I will fight you to the death!”
Du Qianqiu forced himself to stand, his eyes filled with a cold glint. He wanted to see what means Lu Fan possessed to be so domineering.
Lu Fan did not hold back. He unleashed a palm strike, accompanied by a gust of wind, his expression filled with coldness. He would not be merciful towards Du Qianqiu.
Boom…
With a thunderous impact, Du Qianqiu instantly fell to the ground. He was already heavily injured, and Lu Fan’s powerful strike was something he could not resist. In an instant, he was defeated.
Lu Fan’s expression was calm as he surveyed the scene, even letting out a sigh of relief. He had suffered greatly to deal with Du Qianqiu. Now that the Black Shadow Organization was destroyed, he no longer had to worry too much.
After Du Qianqiu fell, Lu Fan took possession of the Star Meteorite. This was a treasured heirloom of the Lu family, and Lu Fan would not discard it carelessly.
Seeing this, the elders also revealed smiles. Du Qianqiu’s demise and the subjugation of the Black Shadow Organization’s many martial arts experts were the greatest good fortune for the Dragon Country.
Thus, the Dragon Country gained more martial arts experts and became more united than ever before.
After dealing with Du Qianqiu, Lu Fan and his companions headed towards the Dragon Capital. Everything had concluded, and the Dragon Country was free from future hidden dangers, allowing it to focus its efforts outward.
Shortly after they departed, several women appeared mysteriously beside Du Qianqiu’s corpse. They held iron fans and wore ancient attire, possessing quite striking appearances.
“I truly didn’t expect that a descendant of the Lu family would actually grow up. To possess the strength of a Battle Emperor at such a young age is indeed interesting!” the leading woman said.
“The Star Meteorite has appeared. Should we head to the Dragon Capital?”
A woman spoke out. “If we snatch the Star Meteorite, we can return to the academy to report our mission!”
“We’ve been confined in the academy for so long; we haven’t had a chance to come out and stretch our legs!” Long Yi said softly. “We can’t complete the mission so easily, or what’s the point!”
“Senior Sister Long Yi, what is your intention then?” a nearby woman asked in surprise.
“I will bring the Star Meteorite back to the academy, but not now. You must also be curious about the outside world. Spend these few days as you wish, and when the time is right, we will return to the academy to report our mission!” Long Yi stated directly.
“This might not be appropriate. Our mentors have warned us not to play around outside!” one woman frowned.
“What? Are you not listening to me?” Long Yi said coldly. “I am your senior sister, and moreover, with me here, obtaining the Star Meteorite will be a matter of moments!”
“We dare not!”
The women clasped their fists in unison, their expressions becoming more solemn. They knew that Long Yi’s strength was formidable, her talent exceptional, and she was their senior sister. How could they dare to offend her lightly?
They were sent out on this mission for the Star Meteorite, but they also hadn’t been to the secular world in a long time and naturally wanted to explore.
Meanwhile, within the Dragon Capital, as the elders were about to depart, Lu Fan stopped them. “Esteemed Elders, what is this Cang Long Academy that Du Qianqiu mentioned? Why have I never heard of it?”
The elders trembled slightly, their expressions shifting slightly. They hadn’t expected Lu Fan to ask directly, his words showing no hesitation.
