As they approached the courtyard, Lu Fan stopped. "We're here. You go in first. I have something to attend to!"
"What is it, Brother Lu Fan, this late at night?" Lin Ke asked, surprised. "This isn't Jiangnan."
"Don't ask," Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "Hurry back and get some sleep."
Lin Ke felt helpless and didn't say much more, heading into the courtyard.
Lu Fan, however, walked toward the darkness not far away. By the side of the dark road, a car was parked. Han Yunhai stood beside it, accompanied by several subordinates.
"How did you all get to Jiangbei?" Lu Fan asked, surprised. "Did something happen?"
"My Lord, it's not good!" Han Yunhai frowned. "Something major has happened in Jiangnan. The Ghost Gate has arrived!"
"Ghost Gate?" Lu Fan's expression turned cold. "They've certainly picked a good time!"
"They are searching everywhere for your whereabouts."
Han Yunhai said quickly, "Chen Pangzi, Boss Chu, and the others have all gone into hiding. Even Miss Bai from the Bai family has been captured!"
"You mean Bai Xue?" Lu Fan asked, surprised. "What does Bai Xue have to do with my feud with the Ghost Gate?"
"The people of the Ghost Gate are indiscriminate. However, they found out that Miss Bai Xue has dealings with you," Han Yunhai stated frankly. "That's why they acted."
"Truly despicable!" Lu Fan said coldly. "It's a pity I still have matters to attend to in Jiangbei and can't get away right now."
"My Lord, the Ghost Gate is advancing like a broken bamboo, having already taken control of half of Jiangnan and constantly searching for your trace," Han Yunhai said, cupping his fists. "Even Tianquan Villa has not been spared!"
"What did you say!" Lu Fan's expression changed drastically. "Tianquan Villa has also been attacked?"
"Your subordinate would not dare to deceive you!" Han Yunhai nodded repeatedly. "Tianquan Villa has fallen, and even Master Fu has been captured."
"What a bold move!" Lu Fan's anger surged. "Tonight, you will all accompany me to Jiangnan. I want to see what the Ghost Gate intends to do."
"Absolutely not!" Han Yunhai shook his head. "With the King of the Ghost Gate making a move, they will surely be unstoppable. Even if you go yourself, My Lord, you might not be able to solve the problem!"
"Uncle Fu has been immensely kind to my Lu family! I cannot let anything happen to him," Lu Fan said directly. "Moreover, Bai Xue is still in their hands. How can I stand by and do nothing?"
Han Yunhai was worried but didn't know what to do.
If they didn't return to Jiangnan, they would be remnants. But if they did, they might not be able to expel the Ghost Gate from Jiangnan.
"You don't need to say any more!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "I'll go say hello first. You wait for me here!"
After speaking, Lu Fan headed towards the courtyard. He would be leaving Jiangbei for a few days, so he naturally had to inform Lin Ke.
Han Yunhai stood by, unsure of what to do.
"Leader, the King of the Ghost Gate is ruthless. Can My Lord really escape danger this time?" asked Little White Dragon.
"I don't know either, but since My Lord is determined to go back, we must follow," Han Yunhai said frankly. "After all, Jiangnan is where My Lord values most. There are people he cares about there."
Little White Dragon nodded. "That's right, Jiangnan is our home!"
Not long after, Lu Fan left the courtyard and got into the car. The car drove onto the highway and headed towards Jiangnan at a hundred-mile-per-hour pace.
Meanwhile, in Jiangnan, various factions were in a state of panic. The suddenly appearing members of the Ghost Gate in Jiangnan were extremely arrogant and had already injured many people.
Even the Bai family of Qingzhou was not spared. The pearl of the Bai family had even been captured, which was a great blow to the Bai family.
In a secret room of the Azure Dragon Sect, Chen Pangzi, Boss Chu, and Old Man Zhao sat together, looking troubled. They were all subordinates of Lu Fan, like ants on a hot pan. Now that such a major incident had occurred and Lu Fan was not present, they could only hide.
After all, they knew very well that being captured by the Ghost Gate would lead to no good end.
"Boss Chen, my daughter has been captured. I hope you can contact Lord Lu as soon as possible!" Bai Tianchen said solemnly. "If Lord Lu doesn't return soon, my daughter might be in mortal danger!"
"Boss Bai, there's no need to worry. Lord Lu will have a way to deal with it when he returns," Chen Pangzi said frankly. "Boss Han has already gone to Jiangbei, and we will have news soon."
"Those who went to Jiangbei with Boss Han are all his trusted subordinates," Boss Chu said, standing up. "Could Han Yunhai have fled? Or perhaps he didn't go to Jiangbei at all."
"That's impossible. Boss Han is loyal to Lord Lu, how could he do such a thing?" Chen Pangzi waved his hand. "Besides, with such a large enterprise as the Azure Dragon Sect, how could Boss Han bear to abandon it?"
"People's hearts are unpredictable now," Old Master Zhao shook his head. "I don't know if Lord Lu will come to Jiangnan after hearing the news. If Lord Lu doesn't come, our resistance will be meaningless."
"Then what should we do!" Bai Tianchen said anxiously.
If it weren't for the Ghost Gate capturing his daughter, he wouldn't be like this.
"Boss Bai, rest assured, Lord Lu will not stand idly by," Chen Pangzi said, cupping his fists. "I hope you have faith in him!"
Bai Tianchen nodded. He naturally had faith in Lu Fan, but with Bai Xue captured, his mind was in turmoil, and he was even becoming agitated.
On the car, after several hours of travel, they finally arrived in Jiangnan. However, Lu Fan noticed that Han Yunhai's arm was bent at an odd angle. "What happened?"
"The Leader was injured while fighting the Ghost Gate," Little White Dragon quickly explained, looking very sincere.
Lu Fan nodded slightly and went to Han Yunhai's side. He adjusted the injured limb and then pulled sharply. With a crack, Han Yunhai felt his arm much better.
"Thank you, My Lord!" Han Yunhai said, cupping his fists. "It's just a minor injury, and it troubled you, My Lord."
"It's just a small matter, what's there to be troubled about!" Lu Fan glanced at him. "If this injury is not treated, you might have complications later."
"Thank you for the reminder, My Lord!" Han Yunhai quickly nodded, greatly flattering Lu Fan.
Lu Fan didn't take it to heart. "No matter what, you are all working for me and have been injured so badly. It's only right that I help you heal!"
After a long while, they finally arrived at the secret room of the Azure Dragon Sect.
Besides the people of the Azure Dragon Sect, no one else knew where this secret room was located, making it very safe. Su Dan Novel Network.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the people inside the secret room were startled. They quickly perked up and looked at the monitor.
Upon seeing Lu Fan's figure, Chen Pangzi's face lit up with joy, and he rushed to greet him at the door. Everyone else did the same.
Lu Fan was like their savior, rekindling the light of their lives. During the hours spent in the secret room, their moods had been extremely low.
