"You truly have a big mouth!" Qin Shilong said coldly, "Things have reached this point, and you still dare to speak like this! You destroyed my Qin family, how can I let you go today."
"The Lu family massacre eighteen years ago was all thanks to the Qin family," Lu Fan shrugged. "It is only right that I destroy your Qin family!"
"So what if the Qin family destroyed your Lu family eighteen years ago."
Qin Shilong said coldly, "How can my Qin family be compared to your Lu family?"
As soon as his words fell, the people of Qingyun Sect were filled with righteous indignation. This was a direct provocation to Lu Fan, without any reservation, their words filled with arrogance.
"It seems I really shouldn't have been soft-hearted," Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "But it's not too late now. Making your Qin family perish is the purpose of my return to Jiangnan."
Qin Shilong laughed heartily, and there were many experts beside him. These people were his sworn brothers, who had undergone much tempering in the outer battlefield.
"It seems today is really going to be a fight!"
"Who says not! This situation is not optimistic."
Outside the Qin family courtyard, many people were talking, their words serious. They did not know that neither of these two were easy to deal with.
"Sir, should we deal with all of them?"
Han Yunhai asked. With the many experts of Qingyun Sect present, why would they fear these insignificant people from the Qin family.
"You don't need to make a move. Since this is between me and the Qin family, I will handle it myself!"
Lu Fan stepped forward, a cold light in his eyes, and looked at Qin Shilong, "I can destroy your Qin family, and I can also make you regret it!"
"Hmph!" Qin Shilong sneered, "Truly arrogant, a frog in a well!"
He was a Grandmaster from the outer battlefield, with the Dragon Country supporting him. In terms of sheer martial power, he could completely suppress Lu Fan, not to mention the Dragon Country.
Just as they were about to make a move, a group of people arrived outside the Qin family courtyard in an instant, and many people present retreated.
The person in the lead was none other than the City Lord of Jiangnan.
"City Lord!"
Qin Shilong cupped his fists, a smug look on his face. With the support of the City Lord of Jiangnan, Lu Fan and his group would likely have no escape today.
The City Lord of Jiangnan nodded slightly, and then looked at Lu Fan, "You are Lord Lu of Jiangnan? Indeed, you are young and promising!"
"City Lord of Jiangnan?" Lu Fan smiled faintly, "Are you here today to support the Qin family?"
"Lord Lu is joking. I am naturally here to mediate!" the City Lord of Jiangnan said directly, "The Qin family members were all killed by you, which was wrong of you. If you are willing to apologize to the young master of the Qin family, perhaps the Qin family will not hold it against you!"
"Then who should be responsible for the Lu family's murder eighteen years ago?" Lu Fan asked directly, looking straight at the City Lord of Jiangnan.
"Eighteen years ago, that's not something I can manage!" the City Lord of Jiangnan said coldly, "But if you want to cause trouble in Jiangnan today, I, as the City Lord of Jiangnan, will never agree!"
"Then, according to the City Lord of Jiangnan's wishes, how do you intend to handle this?" Han Qiushui asked with a smile, "Are you perhaps planning to make a move against us?"
"You are just ordinary martial artists, and you dare to be my enemy?" Qin Shilong sneered, "Do you know my strength now!"
The City Lord of Jiangnan also narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Fan again, "Young man, knowing when to quit is wisdom. You are still young and have a bright future, you cannot easily ruin it. If you beg for mercy, I guarantee that your life will not be in danger!"
"This matter has nothing to do with the City Lord of Jiangnan. I advise the City Lord not to meddle in other people's business!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "Otherwise, it will not be a good thing to bring trouble upon yourself!"
The City Lord of Jiangnan's face darkened. As the City Lord of Jiangnan, his status and position were extremely high. Lu Fan was merely a martial artist, yet he dared to speak to him like this. Even if he was a Grandmaster, so what?
"City Lord, this brat has quite the nerve to even talk back to you!" Qin Shilong instigated.
"Come, escort them back to the dungeon!"
The City Lord of Jiangnan exuded an imposing aura, "Within Jiangnan, anyone who dares to defy me will face certain death!"
Many onlookers were shocked. As the City Lord of Jiangnan, he was already a Grandmaster expert. Lu Fan's aggressive stance would likely lead him to a hard collision.
Qin Shilong secretly rejoiced. If the City Lord's mansion intervened, he wouldn't have to exert himself.
"I'd like to see who dares!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, his gaze fixed on the City Lord of Jiangnan.
"I am the City Lord of Jiangnan. Within Jiangnan, there is nothing I dare not do!" the City Lord of Jiangnan said coldly, "Why are you not acting yet, what are you waiting for!"
The City Lord of Jiangnan's expression was cold, with the demeanor of a superior. He had come today merely to join the excitement. Since Lu Fan dared to offend him, how could he let it go easily.
Just as everyone was preparing to make a move, Lu Fan produced a token in his hand and said coldly, "City Lord of Jiangnan, you should take a good look, what is this?"
Everyone looked over, their faces filled with surprise, not knowing what Lu Fan held in his hand.
The City Lord of Jiangnan did not pay much attention at first, but upon closer inspection, it seemed somewhat familiar.
"What, are you scared?" Qin Shilong sneered, "You actually pulled out some broken item to scare people!"
Unfortunately, as soon as his words fell, the City Lord of Jiangnan fell to his knees with a thud.
"This subordinate deserves death!"
The entire place fell silent. The City Lord of Jiangnan prostrated himself on the ground, his body even trembling.
Everyone was bewildered, not knowing what was in Lu Fan's hand. Even the people of Qingyun Sect were confused.
Under normal circumstances, even if Lu Fan had some connection with the Dragon Group, the City Lord of Jiangnan would not have been so terrified.
"City Lord, what is going on?"
Qin Shilong was completely bewildered, his expression filled with worry. If something could scare the City Lord of Jiangnan to this extent, then the matter was likely not that simple.
The City Lord of Jiangnan did not respond and asked Lu Fan again, "May I ask where the Elder Token came from?"
"What, are you questioning me?" Lu Fan smiled coldly.
"This subordinate dares not!"
The City Lord of Jiangnan quickly shook his head. He knew very well the power that came with possessing an Elder Token.
Although he had doubts, he dared not offend rashly.
Within the Dragon Country, there were a total of nine Elders, each of them a formidable being who controlled the destiny of the Dragon Country.
Apart from these nine Elders, there were no other Elders currently. If Lu Fan's Elder Token was genuine, it would be enough to show that Lu Fan was favored by the Elders and had become a candidate Elder.
"Elder Token?"
Qin Shilong finally reacted and looked at the token in Lu Fan's hand, then burst into laughter, "Everyone knows that the nine Elders of the Dragon Country all control the national destiny. What are you, to dare impersonate an Elder!"
The other people present also began to doubt. What Qin Shilong said was not wrong.
"Young Master Qin, do not be disrespectful!" the City Lord of Jiangnan said coldly, "This Elder Token has an aura of national destiny surrounding it, there can be no mistake!"
"City Lord of Jiangnan, do not be fooled by him!" Qin Shilong sneered, "A while ago, when the Sea Country attacked, the Dragon Country headquarters dispatched three Elders, and one of their Elder Tokens was lost. It is likely this one!"
