"We can't worry about that much now!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "If I don't leave soon, it won't be so easy to leave the Skyfire Pavilion. There are countless experts within the Skyfire Pavilion. If I were to refine it inside the cave, I would surely face disaster."
As he spoke, the Primordial Elder nodded slightly. Just as Lu Fan said, refining the young sacred fire would not be a quick process. The best course of action now was to escape this place as quickly as possible to have a sliver of hope.
Meanwhile, in the Second Heaven, many disciples were in a panic, wondering which powerful figure dared to intrude upon the Skyfire Pavilion and steal its sacred artifact.
"This is too audacious! Who is this expert who dared to steal the Green Lotus Sacred Fire!"
A disciple beside Lin Zhe shouted, his heart filled with excitement. He had been in the Skyfire Pavilion for so long and had never encountered such a situation before; this was the first time.
At this very moment, Lin Zhe already had an answer, and his heart was immensely shocked. He knew Lu Fan was powerful, but he never imagined Lu Fan would dare to steal the Skyfire Pavilion's sacred artifact. The Skyfire Pavilion was filled with experts; how could they let Lu Fan leave?
"Such audacity, to dare steal the Green Lotus Sacred Fire."
A hoary voice sounded, and the Pavilion Master of Skyfire Pavilion arrived, striding across the void. He was a supreme expert of the era, standing with his hands behind his back, exuding an imposing aura that hinted at an immortal demeanor.
Lu Fan emerged from the cave and felt a bit awkward seeing the many experts before him. He had not yet reached the Spirit Emperor realm. Even if he could deal with ordinary Spirit Emperors, escaping today would likely be extremely difficult.
"You old man, you're not going to trick me, are you?" Lu Fan rolled his eyes. "As soon as the Green Lotus Sacred Fire was taken, they made such a commotion. How am I supposed to get out now?"
"There's nothing I can do, I can't do anything," the Primordial Elder said helplessly. "Who knew it would be so fast? And these old fellows are not weak. You kid, be careful. If you're not cautious, you'll perish here today."
Lu Fan couldn't help but curse inwardly. He had come to steal the Green Lotus Sacred Fire, and although he had succeeded, escaping now was probably harder than ascending to heaven.
"To do such a thing at such a young age, isn't that laughable?"
An elder looked at Lu Fan. "As long as you hand over the Green Lotus Sacred Fire, the Skyfire Pavilion will grant you a whole corpse!"
"Forget about a whole corpse!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "Actually, I didn't mean anything else. The reason I stole the Green Lotus Sacred Fire is simply that I felt the Green Lotus Sacred Fire was just sitting in the Skyfire Pavilion, so it might as well be used by me."
"Little brat, speaking such wild words, you truly don't put our Skyfire Pavilion in your eyes!"
The Pavilion Master of Skyfire Pavilion said coldly, "With your actions at such a young age, your future prospects are probably boundless. Why do you seek your own death?"
"If one is not pushed to a desperate situation, who would take such a risk?"
Lu Fan's figure soared into the air, attempting to break through the defense of several elders and leave the Skyfire Pavilion directly. Unfortunately, these elders were all powerful figures in the Spirit Emperor realm, and their attacks left no openings. Lu Fan had no chance to exploit any loopholes.
"It's over, it's completely over!"
Lu Fan's face turned ashen. "Old man, you need to think of a way."
"Don't worry, as long as the Pavilion Master of Skyfire Pavilion doesn't make a move, these people alone won't be able to harm you. You now control two sacred fires," the Primordial Elder said with a smile.
Lu Fan felt like crying. The Green Lotus Sacred Fire had not yet been refined and could not be controlled at will. If he suffered a backlash now, it would be even more troublesome.
"Elders, after capturing him, do not harm his life," the Pavilion Master of Skyfire Pavilion instructed. "I want to see what forces are behind the person who single-handedly broke into the Skyfire Pavilion."
"Your subordinates obey!"
The many experts of the Skyfire Pavilion nodded and moved towards Lu Fan. At that moment, Lu Fan also surged forward, directly ascending into the sky. In his hands, two sacred fires blazed forth, one being the White Lotus Sacred Fire and the other the Green Lotus Sacred Fire, appearing extremely terrifying.
Witnessing this scene, the many disciples of the Skyfire Pavilion were shocked. Lu Fan, at such a young age, possessed such formidable deterrence, earning their admiration. More importantly, the sacred fires were so powerful that even the elders dared not act rashly, which further astonished them.
The Pavilion Master of Skyfire Pavilion stood aside, his eyes gleaming as he saw this scene.
Lu Fan had not only stolen the Green Lotus Sacred Fire but also possessed the White Lotus Sacred Fire. This was a tremendous opportunity for him.
The elders attacked without using their full strength, giving Lu Fan an opportunity. Seeing the rare chance, Lu Fan fiercely unleashed his body, attempting to escape the Skyfire Pavilion directly.
At that very instant, the Pavilion Master of Skyfire Pavilion flicked his finger, and a surge of spiritual energy exploded.
Lu Fan's body was violently thrown backward, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Before a Spirit Venerable, he appeared so insignificant, unable to even resist.
"Such powerful spiritual energy!"
The Primordial Elder frowned. He had instigated Lu Fan to steal the Green Lotus Sacred Fire, but he did not wish for Lu Fan to die here. If the Pavilion Master of Skyfire Pavilion truly intended to kill Lu Fan, he would have long since perished.
"You kid, don't move rashly. Let me inhabit your body!" the Primordial Elder instructed.
Lu Fan offered no resistance. He was already severely wounded and on the verge of death. Even a single strike from a Spirit Venerable was something he could not withstand.
At that very instant, a strand of ethereal blue flame surged within Lu Fan's eyes, and his figure moved like a phantom. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from the Skyfire Pavilion.
Seeing Lu Fan in this state, everyone revealed expressions of astonishment. Lu Fan had not possessed such strength when he was heavily struck, but now it seemed that was not the case.
The elders did not dare to hesitate and quickly pursued Lu Fan. If Lu Fan escaped, they would have no explanation to give, as this matter was no trifle. Lu Fan had stolen the Green Lotus Sacred Fire, which was a sacred artifact of the Skyfire Pavilion.
The Pavilion Master of Skyfire Pavilion frowned. "No wonder he had such courage; he actually concealed a powerful spiritual consciousness expert!"
At this moment, many disciples of the Skyfire Pavilion cried out in surprise, clearly not expecting that even with the combined efforts of multiple elders, they still could not stop Lu Fan. It was truly astonishing.
Meanwhile, the disciples in the Second Heaven also set out, chasing after Lu Fan. As disciples of the Skyfire Pavilion, they naturally would not stand idly by. They were eager to see who this expert was who dared to act in such a manner, completely disregarding the Skyfire Pavilion, and even stealing its sacred artifact.
The Primordial Elder, controlling Lu Fan's body, pushed his speed to the limit. He knew very well that any slight misstep would lead to their demise.
