"Since young Lu is so certain, we shall do as you wish!"
The Fourth Elder smiled and stepped aside, confident that Lu Fan would not act unreasonably.
Since Lu Fan was so sure, the person before them must be problematic.
The other elders nodded in agreement and moved aside. With the Fourth Elder having spoken, they naturally dared not delay.
Throughout the hotel, many Dragon Country martial artists looked at the Hundred-Faced Scholar, also placing their trust in Lu Fan.
Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, the Hundred-Faced Scholar’s face showed embarrassment. He had never expected Lu Fan to possess such courage.
"What, you still intend to pretend? If you truly are who you claim to be, then you will have to forfeit your life!" Lu Fan said with a cold laugh.
"You truly are a ruthless bunch!"
The Hundred-Faced Scholar revealed a smile, his appearance instantly transforming into that of a black-clothed man as he darted towards the hotel exit.
The martial artists within the hotel were astonished. Although they believed Lu Fan, the facts laid bare before them were still hard to accept. The Hundred-Faced Scholar’s methods were indeed quite terrifying.
"You think you can escape so easily!"
In a flash, Lu Fan blocked the Hundred-Faced Scholar’s path. "Hand over the elder token, or you will surely die today!"
"Why must you do this!" the Hundred-Faced Scholar said with a wry smile. "It's just a token! Is it worth all this fuss?"
Lu Fan did not reply, staring intently at the person before him with an even colder gaze. If it weren't for the Hundred-Faced Scholar, this celebration banquet would not have been so hastily arranged.
"Hundred-Faced Scholar, let's see where you can flee today!" the Fourth Elder said coldly. "Hand over the token!"
The Hundred-Faced Scholar, with a helpless sigh, finally produced the elder token. "If this token is so precious to you, then I shall give it to you!"
Lu Fan took the token but did not intend to let the Hundred-Faced Scholar go, still blocking his way.
"What? Are you still trying to make things difficult for me?" the Hundred-Faced Scholar looked at Lu Fan. "Do you really think you can trap me with your abilities?"
"How will you know if you don't try!" Lu Fan retorted with a cold laugh. "If you cause trouble within Dragon Country, you must naturally pay the price!"
"If that's the case, then you might as well try!" the Hundred-Faced Scholar sneered. "I am, after all, quite renowned. In many countries, no one dares to speak to me like this!"
"Who do you think you are?"
Long Aotian stepped into the air and directly attacked the Hundred-Faced Scholar, his expression growing colder.
"Seeking death!"
The Hundred-Faced Scholar spoke coldly, and in that instant, an aura surged forth, instantly sending Long Aotian flying.
His strength was not to be underestimated, otherwise, how could he have traversed so many countries.
Witnessing this, the other elders of Dragon Country did not hesitate, all attacking the Hundred-Faced Scholar with fierce intent.
However, as they ganged up on him, the Hundred-Faced Scholar handled them with ease, appearing unhurried, as if the elders were mere playthings in his eyes.
Having witnessed the Hundred-Faced Scholar’s power, the elders frowned. Capturing him was not as simple as it appeared.
Not far away, Lu Fan’s expression was indifferent. A massive palm materialized and surged towards the Hundred-Faced Scholar. This was the Great Desolation Annihilation Sky Palm, Lu Fan's exclusive martial skill.
Feeling the immense pressure, the Hundred-Faced Scholar’s face changed drastically. Such a terrifying aura, even a strong expert of the Battle Emperor realm might not dare to directly block this palm.
Boom…
A thunderous sound echoed through the air. The Hundred-Faced Scholar staggered back, but ultimately, he was not knocked down.
"What a powerful aura!" Long Aotian exclaimed in shock. "Under Lord Lu's formidable offensive, he could still remain unharmed!"
"I truly did not expect Dragon Country to have such a talented individual. I have indeed broadened my horizons!"
The Hundred-Faced Scholar glanced at Lu Fan. "I have taken note of you. I will definitely come looking for you in the future!"
With that, the Hundred-Faced Scholar transformed into a wisp of black smoke and vanished from his spot. Such a peculiar movement technique further astonished everyone present. Being able to disappear in an instant, they had never seen such a formidable martial artist.
Lu Fan frowned. He had intended to keep the Hundred-Faced Scholar here, but it seemed it was not that simple.
"If my guess is correct, the Hundred-Faced Scholar's strength has likely reached an extremely high realm!" Lu Fan stated. "Perhaps he is an Emperor realm expert. Dragon Country must be more vigilant in the future!"
"Emperor realm expert?"
The elders were slightly startled, their expressions shifting. Judging from the battle just now, the Hundred-Faced Scholar's strength was indeed immense. If he were truly an Emperor realm expert, it would pose a significant threat to Dragon Country.
"Young Lu, we misunderstood you today!" the Ninth Elder said. "Don't take it to heart!"
"Of course, I won't!" Lu Fan smiled. "After all, you were unaware of the Hundred-Faced Scholar. It's a pity that the tracking powder I used on him has vanished. He must have detected it."
"Long Aotian, take the Dragon Group members and search the entire country. You must find him!" the Fourth Elder ordered. "He took a palm from young Lu, so he must be injured!"
"Fourth Elder, rest assured, this matter can be left to me!"
Long Aotian cupped his fists and then turned to leave.
At this very moment, the martial artists within the hotel also became vigilant. They now understood that there was always someone better, and if they did not improve their strength, not only would they themselves be in danger, but even the country would face a crisis. Sudan Novel Network.
The celebration banquet concluded successfully, and the martial artists dispersed from the hotel. In another conference room, the elders were seated in order, with Lu Fan among them.
"Young Lu, do you believe the Hundred-Faced Scholar is a true Battle Emperor expert?" the Fourth Elder asked. "If so, Dragon Country will likely face great trouble in the future."
"Even I might not be his match. Even if he isn't a Battle Emperor expert, his strength must be considerable!" Lu Fan stated directly. "However, elders, please rest assured, this matter will be handled by me!"
"Young Lu, don't be rash!" the Ninth Elder said solemnly. "Even our combined efforts might not be enough to capture him. This person is likely not simple!"
"Elders, please rest assured, I will not do anything foolish!" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "The celebration banquet has ended, so I will not linger here. As for that Hundred-Faced Scholar, I will make him pay the price! I will not let him leave easily!"
After Lu Fan left, the elders fell into deep thought. The Hundred-Faced Scholar mingling within Dragon Country was quite detrimental to them.
If it weren't for Lu Fan today, the Hundred-Faced Scholar might have taken advantage of the situation, and they would not have been able to deal with him. This was certainly not a good thing for Dragon Country.
"What do you elders think of today's events?" the Fourth Elder inquired.
"What is the Fourth Elder referring to?"
The elders spoke, turning their gazes towards the Fourth Elder.
"I believe you already know what I am talking about!" the Fourth Elder stated directly.
