"Only thirty-eight?"
Lu Fan was slightly surprised, "Meaning, there are even more terrifying sacred fires?"
"Naturally. There are many sacred fires in this world, and the most powerful ones even possess sentience!" the primordial old man stated directly.
"Then what is the number one sacred fire called?" Lu Fan was somewhat curious.
"You don't need to know that. You've already struck great fortune by obtaining the White Lotus Sacred Fire. As for the number one sacred fire in legend, it's not something you can covet!" the primordial old man stated directly.
Lu Fan gave a wry smile. Just as the primordial old man said, obtaining the White Lotus Sacred Fire was already quite difficult for him. As for the legendary number one sacred fire, it truly wasn't something he could reach for.
"After devouring the sacred fire, your strength has greatly increased. If you go out now and encounter the Seventh Elder, you won't have to fear him!" the primordial old man advised.
Lu Fan immediately nodded and stepped towards the outside of the fire domain. He wondered if the Seventh Elder had already left. If he had, it would save him the trouble of taking action. If he hadn't, Lu Fan wouldn't mind seeing the Seventh Elder meet his demise.
As soon as he stepped out of the fire domain, Lu Fan surveyed his surroundings. A loud laugh rang out, "Haha, I knew you brat wouldn't die. Fortunately, I came back!"
"Seventh Elder!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "Why must you do this!"
"Hmph, you killed my disciple, how can I let you go!" The Seventh Elder's expression was icy. He had meticulously planned all of this to deal with Lu Fan, so how could he allow Lu Fan to leave.
"I have already devoured the sacred fire. Seventh Elder, you are no match for me now!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "Leave now, and I won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Ridiculous. I've been waiting here for days, specifically for your life. If you want me to leave, you'll have to show me if you have the ability!" The Seventh Elder's expression was chillingly cold.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Lu Fan's figure soared into the air, his aura instantly surging. Since devouring the White Lotus Sacred Fire, his strength had also improved considerably, reaching the peak of the Spirit King realm.
"How is this possible!"
With terror in his eyes, the Seventh Elder was astonished, "Your aura, why is it at the peak of the Spirit King realm!"
"I just said, I am not what I used to be!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, his gaze becoming even sharper. The Seventh Elder had repeatedly tried to take his life, so how could Lu Fan let him off easily.
"Hmph, so what if you've reached the peak of the Spirit King realm!"
The Seventh Elder snorted coldly and also soared into the air. He was at the half-step Spirit Emperor realm. Although he hadn't reached the true Spirit Emperor realm, he was by no means someone Lu Fan could shake.
"Myriad Swords Return as One!"
The Seventh Elder shouted loudly and instantly unleashed his trump card. He knew very well that if Lu Fan didn't die today, he would be the one to die in the future.
With Lu Fan's cultivation talent, if he were allowed to leave today, there would be endless trouble in the future.
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, and a stream of white lotus flames appeared on his palm. These white lotus flames looked quite peculiar and emitted a powerful aura. Su Dan Novel Network
The myriad sword qi was already close at hand. Lu Fan instantly unleashed the White Lotus Sacred Fire in his hand.
As the flames surged out, even the air began to burn, and the sword qi unleashed by the Seventh Elder was completely incinerated.
"How is this possible!"
The Seventh Elder was filled with disbelief. As a half-step Spirit Emperor expert, his trump card being so easily broken was something he could not accept.
Lu Fan glanced at him, said nothing more, but controlled the flames in his hand and instantly rushed towards the Seventh Elder.
This White Lotus Sacred Fire was a natural treasure of heaven and earth, possessing extremely formidable power. If Lu Fan's strength were not insufficient, its power would likely be even greater.
The Seventh Elder's entire body was burning with spiritual energy. Although he feared the White Lotus Sacred Fire, he firmly believed that Lu Fan was no match for him.
At that very moment, the two powerful auras clashed again.
Lu Fan's figure retreated slightly, but the Seventh Elder was instantly turned into nothingness by the White Lotus Sacred Fire, without even a chance to react.
"So strong!"
Lin Ke's voice rang out. He had been worried about Lu Fan, but now he was somewhat astonished.
"Is this the power of the White Lotus Sacred Fire?"
Lu Fan was slightly moved, even he found it somewhat unbelievable.
"A treasure of heaven and earth, naturally powerful!"
The primordial old man reminded him, "However, with your current strength, if you encounter a Spirit Emperor, it probably won't be this easy!"
"Now, a major trouble has finally been resolved!"
Lu Fan let out a long sigh. He had been away from the academy for more than ten days, and he didn't know if Chu Ting and the others had already arrived in Chu City.
After a brief pause, Lu Fan mounted his sword and flew towards the direction of Chu City.
Meanwhile, in Chu City, Chu Ting and the others had already arrived, strolling around Chu City with Long Yi and the others.
"All the businesses in Chu City belong to my Chu family. If there's anything you fancy, you can tell me!"
Chu Ting chuckled, "I can give it to you for free!"
"This is too generous!" Long Yi chuckled, "But it makes sense. The entire Chu City belongs to the Chu family, so you lack nothing!"
Chu Ting smiled, and a premonition arose within her.
At Beihai Academy, she had always been suppressed. Now that she had returned to her own territory, she naturally wanted to be extravagant.
"Chu Ting, I saw Uncle Chu earlier, but I didn't mention the marriage. After we go back, I will report this matter!" Li Ziming said.
"You dare!"
Chu Ting rolled her eyes, "Li Ziming, don't forget, this is Chu City. If I want to deal with you, even if you had a hundred lives, it wouldn't be enough!"
Li Ziming's expression stiffened. He hadn't expected Chu Ting to speak like this, but he was determined to have the two families intermarry.
Not long after, Chu Ting and the others returned to the Chu family courtyard.
The courtyard was vast, with countless rooms, so Long Yi and the others had no worries about accommodation.
"When the sect master arrives, I will take you to enjoy the scenery. Not far from Chu City is Mount Zijin, and the scenery there is exceptionally beautiful!" Chu Ting said.
"I've heard of it too. Legend has it that Mount Zijin was a sacred place in ancient times, and its scenery is breathtaking!"
Han Feng nodded, "I've long wanted to see it, but I've never had the chance!"
"Young Miss, the Patriarch requests your presence!"
Butler Wu strode in, his expression solemn.
Chu Ting was somewhat curious but didn't ask further, and left directly.
At this moment, in the conference hall, the Chu family patriarch sat in the main seat, with a group of elders beside him.
"Father, what is it you wanted me for?" Chu Ting asked.
"Xiao Ting, after you return this time, don't leave again!" the Chu family patriarch said, "Your father has already arranged a marriage for you. Prepare yourself, and you can get married!"
"I've told you many times, I won't marry into the Li family!"
Chu Ting pouted, showing her displeasure, as she had no good feelings for Li Ziming.
"You've misunderstood. It's not the Li family!" the Chu family patriarch stated directly, "It's the second son of the Eighth Prince!"
