"You should worry about yourselves!"
The leading man in black said coldly, "You can barely protect yourselves, yet you still think of others!"
Han Yunhai's face turned ashen. The black-clothed men were numerous, and their leader was exceptionally powerful. It was extremely difficult to escape this calamity.
"Eliminate them all!"
The leader in black sneered, "Not a single one can be spared!"
The many men in black nodded and unleashed their assassination techniques. They seemed seasoned veterans, appearing extremely indifferent to the scene before them.
"Qiushui, take Miss Jiang and leave!"
Han Yunhai reminded, "After returning to Dragon Country, report this matter. Lord Lu might be in danger in the Sea Country!"
"We advance and retreat together. I will never seek to survive by betraying others!"
Han Qiushui's expression was solemn, "If it is indeed the work of the Sea Country, they will have to pay the price."
"If you don't leave, how will the Grand Elders know!"
Gu Wen reminded, "If we hesitate any longer, we might not be able to leave."
"You think too highly of yourselves. This is a place of no return. No one can escape. Give up on that idea!"
The leader in black spoke coldly, his powerful aura erupting, instantly sweeping towards everyone with a terrifying presence.
Boom...
A massive explosion sounded. Han Yunhai and the others were shaken and killed. The other black-clothed experts also surged forward, breaking through their defenses one by one.
At the critical moment, a powerful aura appeared in the extraterritorial battlefield, causing the leader in black's face to turn pale. He felt a terrifying energy and was greatly alarmed.
Boom...
Another loud noise echoed. The many men in black were sent flying. The leader in black retreated rapidly. Lu Fan stood in the center of everyone, his expression indifferent as he looked at the group of men in black.
"Master!"
Gu Wen's face lit up with joy. Han Qiushui was also surprised. He had thought Lu Fan was already dead, but now seeing him standing there alive filled him with hope.
"Everyone, hurry and leave!"
The leader in black shouted angrily and quickly fled in another direction. Lu Fan's strength was terrifying, and he could not withstand it. If he didn't leave now, he might perish here.
"Do you think you can still leave!"
Lu Fan's voice was icy. He unleashed his internal energy, and many of the men in black died tragically. Only the leader in black was intercepted by Lu Fan.
"Who sent you? How dare you be so reckless!"
"Sea Country Elder!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader in black fled towards another direction, unwilling to die here.
Unfortunately, his speed was insignificant before Lu Fan. In the blink of an eye, he suffered a heavy blow.
"I just visited the Sea Country. How could the Sea Country send people to assassinate me!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Judging by your methods, I can't help but guess that you are not from the Sea Country!"
"Lord Lu is indeed astute!"
The man in black sneered, but blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He finally fell to the ground, dead.
"Why is he dead?"
Shangguan Xue stepped forward, frowning. She didn't know who the other party was.
"Master, do you know who might be responsible?" Gu Wen asked at the same time.
"These people are all from the Black Shadow Organization!"
Lu Fan said in a deep voice, "They knew our whereabouts perfectly and wanted to kill you in advance to frame the Sea Country!"
"How despicable!"
Han Qiushui frowned. "The Black Shadow Organization seems to have been founded by people from Dragon Country. Why would they want to sow discord!"
"Naturally, it's because of me!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "The leader of the Black Shadow Organization has a deep blood feud with me!"
"Since they have a grudge against you, why don't we go and settle it!"
Shangguan Xue said, "They are quite bold to act like this!"
"I was thinking the same thing!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. "But not now. With the establishment of the Alliance of Nations, I must return to Dragon Country quickly to inform the Grand Elders!"
Everyone looked at each other and nodded. Since Lu Fan had made a decision, they naturally would not dare to disobey.
Within the Black Shadow Organization, a man hurried to report, "Valley Master, the assassination failed, and the Fifth Elder is also in trouble!"
Du Qianqiu frowned. "How could this be?"
"Lord Lu has already realized that this matter was the work of the Black Shadow Organization!" the man said solemnly.
Several elders present also frowned. As high-ranking members of the Black Shadow Organization, their brows were tightly knitted.
They knew very well that the situation of the Black Shadow Organization in the extraterritorial battlefield was unstable, and causing trouble at this time would lead to great difficulties.
"Since he already knows, there's no need to hide it!"
Du Qianqiu waved his hand. "I intended to make him go to war with the Sea Country, but it seems that is unlikely to succeed now!"
"Valley Master, Lord Lu's strength is not what it used to be. If he brings the Qingyun Sect to the Black Shadow Organization himself, what should we do!" the white-haired elder said.
"I have a feud with him. If he dares to come, I will fight him!" Du Qianqiu's eyes flashed with cold light. "This brat's current achievements must be related to that item!"
"If that's the case, Valley Master might as well strike first!"
The white-haired elder said solemnly, "I heard that the person Lord Lu cares about most is in Dragon Capital!"
"That's within Dragon Country!"
Du Qianqiu frowned. "If I enter rashly, won't it cause trouble!"
"The three Grand Elders of Dragon Country have been in seclusion for many years, but we have never seen them. Even when Dragon Country was in peril, the three Grand Elders did not appear!"
The white-haired elder chuckled, "From this, we can conclude that the three Grand Elders of Dragon Country are likely no longer alive. Why should Valley Master worry!"
Du Qianqiu fell into thought. He had always been hesitant to enter Dragon Country because he feared the three Grand Elders of Dragon Country. If the three Grand Elders were not to appear, he would have no scruples and would not need to worry about anything else.
"To obtain that item, Valley Master has waited for 18 years. This opportunity must not be missed," the white-haired elder said solemnly.
"Go and prepare. Muster the Black Shadow forces!"
Du Qianqiu's expression was cold. "Set off for Dragon Capital!"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
The white-haired elder quickly cupped his fists, his expression even more excited. After so many years, Du Qianqiu was finally preparing to make a move.
A few days later, Lu Fan arrived within Dragon Country. Han Qiushui and the others waited outside, while Lu Fan entered the Dragon Country headquarters.
"Lu, you haven't disappointed us!"
The Fourth Elder said with a smile, holding a document in his hand. This was the alliance handbook for over ten countries. Now that there were many alliances, Dragon Country also had a guarantee.
Last time, Dragon Country was almost devastated by the Sky Country Alliance. This time, they would not sit idly by.
"The successful completion of this mission is mainly due to the strong national power of Dragon Country."
Lu Fan said with a light smile, "If it weren't for this, other countries might not have agreed to the alliance!"
"You don't need to be so modest!"
The Seventh Elder gave him a look. "If it weren't for you, many countries might not have given us this face. You are the lifeline of Dragon Country. With you, Dragon Country can become even stronger!"
"You flatter me, Elder!"
Lu Fan smiled. "I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay here any longer!"
"You rascal, you've accomplished such a great feat. You must drink with us tonight!" the Fourth Elder said.
