As many Grandmasters registered, Han Yunhai suddenly looked at a man not far away, "Isn't this the Sect Master of the Tyrant Saber Sect? Do you also want to join the Azure Cloud Sect?"
"Cough, cough... In the battle of Baiyun Peak, Lord Lu was a peerless genius, and I also admire him greatly," the Sect Master of the Tyrant Saber Sect said directly, "If I can join the Azure Cloud Sect, it would be my great fortune for three lifetimes."
"It's just a pity, you might not have that fortune for three lifetimes," Han Yunhai smiled, "You are not qualified to join the Azure Cloud Sect!"
"Why can they all join the Azure Cloud Sect, and why can't I?" The Sect Master of the Tyrant Saber Sect was displeased, "Am I worse than others?"
"You are not worse than others!" Han Yunhai chuckled, "But your character is not good, at least you won't pass my inspection!"
"Don't push your luck too far!" The Sect Master of the Tyrant Saber Sect frowned.
With so many Grandmaster experts present, if he were rejected like this, how would he be able to get by in the Dragon Country in the future?
"The Azure Cloud Sect never bullies others," Han Yunhai said directly, "We just don't want your Tyrant Saber Sect to be involved!"
The Sect Master of the Tyrant Saber Sect was quite displeased and left with many experts from the Tyrant Saber Sect. Lu Fan was their reliance, but unfortunately, his Tyrant Saber Sect could not climb that high. However, being rejected at the door, he naturally would not lower his stance again.
Besides the Sect Master of the Tyrant Saber Sect, several other Grandmasters were also rejected. However, Han Yunhai acted with discretion. These rejected Grandmasters were not good people, and he had investigated this matter quite clearly.
Lu Fan did not inquire much about those who joined, but he was very clear that after this battle, the Azure Cloud Sect would likely be different from before.
In the following days, Long Aotian led the Dragon Group to pursue and intercept many Sea Rakshasa experts. Although they eventually escaped the Dragon Country, the Sea Rakshasa suffered a heavy blow.
Returning to the Dragon Country headquarters, several elders sat in the conference room. Long Aotian walked straight in and cupped his fists, saying, "Elders, Ouyang Qinghuo and the others still escaped!"
"They are merely pawns of the Sea Country, not to be feared," the Seventh Elder waved his hand, "Tell me, has the Dragon Group recently recruited a new member?"
The other elders also looked over. They were all very aware that in the battle of Baiyun Peak, if someone had not secretly assisted, many martial arts experts would have perished.
"This..." Long Aotian smiled awkwardly, "I wanted to recruit him into the Dragon Group, but he was unwilling."
"How is that possible? Becoming a member of the Dragon Group carries the authority of the Dragon Country," the Eighth Elder was surprised, "Under normal circumstances, no one can resist such temptation!"
"Elders, you may not know, but that person has excellent character, and at such a young age, he already possesses the strength of a Battle Spirit," Long Aotian said directly, "What's more terrifying is that he seems uninterested in joining the Dragon Group."
"At such a young age, to have such fortune?" The Sixth Elder frowned, "Could he be a descendant of the three hidden sects?"
"That's not necessarily true!" The Fifth Elder waved his hand, "If he were truly from the three hidden sects, he would not have acted so readily."
"You speak the truth!" The Sixth Elder nodded slightly, "This young man has extraordinary talent and has greatly aided the Dragon Country. Aotian, you must not miss this opportunity."
"I..." Long Aotian smiled awkwardly, "I will do my best. If he is willing to join the Dragon Group, I will gladly give him my captain's position without any complaint!"
The elders exchanged glances and then nodded slightly. With these words, they felt reassured. At least in their opinion, Lu Fan was a rare talent who would be of great use in the future.
After Long Aotian left, the elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with deep meaning.
"The Grand Elder once said that a chosen one would change the destiny of the Dragon Country and walk the supreme path in the future. Could it be this child?"
The Sixth Elder said directly, "If this is true, we cannot be careless, and we must not let anything happen to him."
"If he is truly the chosen one, he will be the lucky star of our Dragon Country in the future," the Fifth Elder said directly, "And no one will be able to harm him. We just don't know if the person the Grand Elder spoke of is him!"
"Regardless of whether it is or not, as long as he stands with the Dragon Country, he is a protected object of the Dragon Country," the Fourth Elder spoke, "This invasion by the Sea Country cannot be ignored."
"Hmph, these scoundrels from the Sea Country, doing such things," the Eighth Elder said coldly, "I will personally go to the Sea Country and turn it upside down, letting them see the consequences of provoking the Dragon Country!"
"I'll go with you!" The Ninth Elder also stood up, "They are truly going too far, not taking our Dragon Country seriously."
"You have all become elders, yet your tempers are still so fiery," the Fourth Elder glared, "The Dragon Country having us few has already consumed a large portion of its destiny. If you were to suffer any harm, it would be a huge blow to the Dragon Country, and the Dragon Country might even decline from then on. Do you know the stakes involved?"
The Eighth Elder and the Ninth Elder looked at each other, their faces instantly turning awkward. As the Fourth Elder said, some things were not as simple as they appeared.
"Regarding whether that person is the chosen one, I will personally test it," the Fourth Elder said directly, "You guard the headquarters and simultaneously prevent any border incursions. We must not let the same thing happen again."
"Fourth Elder, rest assured, we will not be careless," the Sixth Elder cupped his fists, "If the Sea Country dares to be so reckless again, we will make sure they never return."
Faced with these words, the Fourth Elder nodded slightly and said no more.
Meanwhile, in the City Lord's Mansion of Zhongzhou City, Han Bing and others had recovered from their injuries and were able to move freely, which made Yang Xing Tian quite satisfied.
"My lords, I trust the healing sacred medicine in my mansion has not disappointed you!" Yang Xing Tian boasted.
"If it weren't for our strong strength, even with divine pills and miraculous medicine, they would be of no use to us," Jian Ying said directly, "As the City Lord of Zhongzhou, you did not distinguish yourself in the battle of Baiyun Peak. You should reflect on this in the future."
"This..."
Yang Xing Tian was slightly embarrassed. He was only a Grandmaster of Great Accomplishment, not having reached the Battle Spirit realm, so how could he display formidable means within Baiyun Peak?
However, he was very aware that the status of Dragon Group members was not something he could casually speak about, so he could only accept his misfortune.
"Our injuries are almost healed. Should we go to the Gu family?"
Han Bing spoke, "If we don't go, it might not be appropriate!"
"Of course we must go. We must thank him in person for saving our lives," Jian Ying said seriously, "Moreover, he saved the entire Dragon Country!"
Han Bing's body trembled. As Jian Ying said, if Lu Fan had not acted, many martial arts elites and masters of the Dragon Country would have been destroyed. This was no small matter for the Dragon Country; it was devastating and chilling to the heart.
