After a period of observation, Lu Fan gained some understanding of the Iron Mountain Sect, as well as some matters concerning the Triangle Domain, which deeply moved him.
Within this Triangle Domain, strength was everything. As long as one possessed immense power, they could do as they pleased, with no one to govern them.
Therefore, whether it was an individual or a sect, surviving in the Triangle Domain was extremely difficult.
"The banquet is ready."
Fei Niao walked over, "Hurry and invite Lord Lu to join us! We can celebrate together. An elder from the North Pole Sect was killed, but it was their own doing."
Tie Bao nodded slightly, then gestured to Lu Fan, not daring to overstep.
In Tie Bao's eyes, Lu Fan was undoubtedly a master. After all, the methods Lu Fan displayed in the forest earlier were far beyond his reach, making him look up to him.
Not long after, Lu Fan arrived at a courtyard within the sect. In this courtyard, there were dozens of elderly men, appearing refined and possessing a certain charm.
"Sect Master, this is Lord Lu!"
Fei Niao introduced him to a middle-aged man, speaking with great courtesy.
"Lord Lu!"
The Sect Master of the Iron Mountain Sect cupped his fists slightly, "If you hadn't personally intervened today, Tie Bao and the others would have been in danger. You are a great benefactor to the Iron Mountain Sect."
"It was merely a small effort, no need for such formalities," Lu Fan waved his hand.
"My lord, please be seated!"
Tie Bao said quickly. Several elders beside him frowned slightly, wondering what capabilities Lu Fan possessed to warrant such treatment from Tie Bao, and they were even somewhat skeptical about the events of the day.
How could Lu Fan have killed Hu Qiu? He appeared so young, which was quite astonishing.
"I heard that young friend Lu has killed Elder Hu Qiu, and your strength must be extraordinary."
An elder in green robes smiled, "May I ask for a demonstration?"
"That won't do!"
Tie Bao shook his head, "Lord Lu is my great benefactor, and it is now mealtime. Elders, you cannot test him, or you will not be giving me, Tie Bao, any face."
"Look at what you're saying. How could we not give you face!" The elder in green robes smiled, "We merely wish to test this young friend's strength. If he can kill Elder Hu Qiu, his strength must be considerable."
"Elder Qingyi, Lord Lu is a guest."
Fei Niao spoke directly, "This is a celebratory banquet. It is somewhat inappropriate for you to suddenly request a spar. If you don't mind, I will spar with you after the celebration feast."
The elder in green robes smiled faintly, a hint of disdain in his eyes. He was quite doubtful of Lu Fan's strength, but since Lu Fan was unwilling to act, he couldn't say more.
"It's just a spar, it won't do any harm."
Lu Fan shrugged, "However, I fear I might not be able to hold back then and might injure this elder!"
"If you can injure me, then that is your skill."
The elder in green robes said coldly, "You need not worry."
"Since that is the case, then let us exchange a few moves."
Lu Fan shrugged. His arrival at the Iron Mountain Sect was simple: find a place to stay and inquire about Tongtian Academy. He hadn't expected so many bothersome individuals, and they were quite disbelieving of him.
If he didn't make an example of them, it might cause further trouble.
"Elder Qingyi, please stop at the point of contact."
The Sect Master of the Iron Mountain Sect spoke, "It's just a spar, please don't take it too seriously, lest we harm our harmony."
"Sect Master, rest assured, I know what I'm doing!" The elder in green robes waved his hand.
Within the entire Iron Mountain Sect, besides the Sect Master, his strength was the strongest. Since the Sect Master had given the order, he naturally wouldn't make Lu Fan look too bad.
Hu Yu sat to the side, looking disdainful. Others might not know Lu Fan's strength, but he knew it clearly. This elder in green robes was so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, he would surely be taught a lesson.
Not long after, the elder in green robes came to the side, "Fellow Daoist Lu, let's stop at the point of contact. My Sect Master said you are a guest of our Iron Mountain Sect, and we cannot let you be harmed."
"Since it's a spar, why the politeness!" Lu Fan waved his hand, "Feel free to use your full strength. If I take a step back, I lose."
Seeing Lu Fan's words, the elders present frowned. Lu Fan's declaration was somewhat too arrogant, showing no regard for the elder in green.
Many disciples were gathered around, quite excited. In fact, even they had doubts about Lu Fan's strength. If he could spar with Elder Qingyi, they would be able to see the truth.
Thinking of this, many disciples became even more excited, as such a battle between masters had not occurred for a long time.
The elder in green robes' expression turned cold. Lu Fan's words just now were simply too arrogant, making him unbearable. If he didn't teach Lu Fan a lesson, it would be difficult to justify.
At that very moment, the elder in green robes' aura surged, and he powerfully stepped towards Lu Fan, generating gusts of wind wherever he passed.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was startled and deeply moved. "Isn't this Elder Qingyi's Taiji Thirteen Forms? He's actually using it directly. Is he serious?"
"He must be serious. Taiji Thirteen Forms generates immense power; normally, one cannot withstand it," another disciple chimed in.
The observing elders nearby were also quite pleased. Elder Qingyi's Taiji Thirteen Forms could generate infinitely changing palm force, which ordinary Venerables could not resist.
If Lu Fan were a fraud, he would be unable to withstand it.
"A mere trick!"
Lu Fan stood with his hands behind his back, merely lifting a foot. A world-destroying power was born, surging towards the elder in green robes.
Seeing this, the elder in green robes frantically circulated his spiritual energy, continuously surging backward. He could clearly feel that this aura was extremely powerful, and if he didn't exert his full strength, he might perish here.
Boom...
A massive collision sound rang out. The elder in green robes was violently sent flying, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. He never imagined that Lu Fan's strength would be so formidable, so much so that he felt a sense of fear.
The Sect Master of the Iron Mountain Sect's expression changed drastically. Even he hadn't expected Lu Fan's strength to be this great. With just a lift of his foot, he had sent the elder in green robes flying. This was the strongest person in their Iron Mountain Sect besides himself.
Thinking of this, everyone was shocked and somewhat fearful. With such immense power, if they failed to treat him with proper respect, their entire Iron Mountain Sect could be leveled.
"I told you, Lord Lu is very strong."
Tie Bao shrugged helplessly, "It's a pity you didn't listen. I had no other way."
The elder in green robes' face twitched, and he looked quite disheveled.
