"Are you threatening me, you old fool?"
Shangguan Hai's expression was indifferent as he looked towards Old Master Bai, a faint cold glint in his eyes.
"I am not threatening you!"
Old Master Bai chuckled, "This is simply the truth. I hope the Young Pavilion Master understands!"
"What a joke. Do you think your words alone can turn the tide?"
Shangguan Hai said coldly, "Elder Qian Qiu, if anyone dares to obstruct you, make them realize the might of the Divine Wind Pavilion!"
"This..."
Elder Qian Qiu's expression shifted. The spiritual realm was filled with many capable individuals. Shangguan Hai's arrogance might one day lead to his demise.
"Elder Qian Qiu, why are you standing there?"
Shangguan Hai spoke again, his tone laced with great dissatisfaction.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Shangguan Hai quickly cupped his fists, his expression becoming more serious, not daring to show the slightest negligence.
"Old Master Bai, this matter has nothing to do with you. Why get involved!"
Elder Qian Qiu stated directly, "Why not clear the way? After I deal with him, there will be no further business with the Bai family!"
"Since he is a friend of my Bai family, he cannot be harmed!"
Old Master Bai said firmly, "I hope Elder Qian Qiu will be accommodating!"
"With the Young Pavilion Master's command, how can I dare to disobey!"
Elder Qian Qiu chuckled, a killing intent surfacing. If Old Master Bai intended to interfere, he would not back down.
The number of people accompanying Shangguan Hai on this trip was not small, including several experts at the Spiritual Emperor realm. If the Bai family was unwise, their fate would be sealed.
"Patriarch Bai, thank you for your assistance!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists, "But allow me to handle today's affairs!"
Old Master Bai frowned, unsure of Lu Fan's intentions.
Did Lu Fan intend to face Shangguan Hai and his group alone? This seemed impossible.
"I may not like you, but this matter originated because of the Bai family, and it has nothing to do with you!"
Bai Ye Tian stepped forward, "You should leave Celestial Immortal City as soon as possible!"
"I am not someone who backs down when bullied!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "Not even the Divine Wind Pavilion can do that!"
Bai Xue was surprised, not knowing where Lu Fan's confidence came from, but he quite liked these words.
"You know not the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Elder Qian Qiu snorted coldly, his Spiritual Emperor aura instantly surging.
"You should think clearly. If you truly intend to fight, you will not be able to leave Celestial Immortal City alive today!"
Lu Fan smiled coldly, his expression full of confidence.
Even the composed Bai Ye Tian was bewildered, not understanding why Lu Fan possessed such strong confidence.
After all, at the North Sea Academy, Lu Fan's strength was comparable to his. Now, facing a Spiritual Emperor, he was so arrogant.
Could Lu Fan's strength have already reached the Spiritual Emperor realm?
Thinking of this, Bai Ye Tian felt a shock. If that were the case, it would be truly terrifying.
"I have roamed the spiritual realm for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen someone as unafraid of death as you!"
Shangguan Hai chuckled coldly and gave Elder Qian Qiu a meaningful look.
Elder Qian Qiu suddenly stepped forward, exuding a powerful aura, and stomped towards Lu Fan.
Seeing this scene, Old Master Bai frowned. He intended to intervene, but Lu Fan did not seem to appreciate it.
Just as Elder Qian Qiu approached, a flame suddenly surged from Lu Fan's palm. This flame was extremely strange, emitting a bluish-white light that instilled a sense of fear in people's hearts.
"This is... Sacred Fire?"
Elder Qian Qiu exclaimed in surprise. Unfortunately, in an instant, he was utterly destroyed by this ball of Sacred Fire, even incinerated to ashes.
Shangguan Hai, who had been smug, instantly panicked upon witnessing this scene. He could never have imagined that Lu Fan possessed such a formidable aura.
"The power of Sacred Fire!"
Old Master Bai also exclaimed in surprise, even more so in shock. Although Lu Fan appeared young, the methods he displayed were beyond ordinary people.
"Young Pavilion Master Shangguan, are you satisfied now?"
Lu Fan controlled the Sacred Fire in his palm, his gaze fixed on Shangguan Hai, a faint, sinister smile playing on his lips.
"You..."
Shangguan Hai retreated, his face growing even more somber. Elder Qian Qiu was a Spiritual Emperor, yet he was so easily dealt with by Lu Fan. What kind of power was this that made him feel a chill down his spine?
"I am the Young Master of the Divine Wind Pavilion. Do you truly wish to make an enemy of the Divine Wind Pavilion?" Shangguan Hai threatened.
"Even the Eight Prince's Mansion, I do not take seriously, let alone the Divine Wind Pavilion!"
Lu Fan sneered, his eyes filled with icy coldness. Since he had already made a move, he would not let Shangguan Hai off easily.
"Quick, quickly deal with him!"
Shangguan Hai looked at the other elders, his heart filled with terror.
The elders exchanged glances but dared not move rashly. Elder Qian Qiu was the strongest among them. Without even getting a chance to attack, how could they possibly shake Lu Fan?
"I said before, if you make a move, you will not be able to leave Celestial Immortal City!"
Lu Fan chuckled coldly, and flames surged from his palm again. Shangguan Hai and the others instantly burst into flames, emitting screams of agony.
The Bai family members watched this, unsure of what to say, and could only stand frozen in place. It took a long time for them to react.
"How can this be? How can you be so strong?"
Bai Ye Tian looked at Lu Fan, his disbelief evident.
"I will never forget the enmity of North Sea Academy!"
Lu Fan said in a deep voice, "As for today's matter, I will also resolve it myself!"
"If you kill Shangguan Hai, the Divine Wind Pavilion will never let this go!"
Bai Xue spoke, "What should we do about all this?"
Old Master Bai also frowned. Now that the Young Master of the Divine Wind Pavilion had died in Celestial Immortal City, even if the Bai family was not the one who acted, the Pavilion Master of the Divine Wind Pavilion would never let the Bai family off easily.
"I killed him. If they seek revenge, they can come to me!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, his expression growing colder. He knew very well that if he did not act today, the Bai family would suffer.
"This matter was originally the Bai family's. I am already very grateful that you were willing to help!"
Bai Ye Tian stated directly, "Now that the Eight Prince's Mansion is searching for your whereabouts, and you have offended the Divine Wind Pavilion, it is likely very unfavorable!"
"That's right!"
Bai Xue chimed in, "Why don't you leave the White Dragon Dynasty as soon as possible? This way, you can avoid disaster!"
"The spiritual realm is vast, but if the Eight Prince's Mansion wants to deal with me, even if I flee to the ends of the earth, they will not give up!"
Lu Fan chuckled lightly, "Moreover, for the enmity of North Sea Academy, someone must eventually pay the price!"
"If that day truly comes, I will gather the other members of North Sea Academy and join you in ascending to the Royal City to demand this blood debt!" Bai Ye Tian said with a serious expression.
"Besides you, are there other survivors from North Sea Academy?" Lu Fan's body trembled slightly.
"When the Eight Prince's Mansion made their move, some disciples escaped through a secret passage, which is how they survived!" Bai Ye Tian sighed.
"Since you are fellow disciples, why not hold a banquet at the Bai family tonight and drink to your heart's content!"
