Lu Fan nodded in satisfaction and slowly retracted the White Lotus Sacred Fire. The reason he did this was to warn the Lin family.
To defeat Lin Ziying, Lu Fan did not need to unleash the White Lotus Sacred Fire. However, to deter the Lin family patriarch and prevent the Lin family from making any rash moves, Lu Fan had no choice but to reveal the White Lotus Sacred Fire.
"Ziying, are you alright!" the Lin family patriarch quickly asked, his expression turning solemn.
"I'm fine!" Lin Ziying shook her head. "But he is indeed terrifying. What is in his hand that makes people so wary!"
"That is Sacred Fire, not an ordinary item!"
The Lin family patriarch stated directly, "Even I might not be able to defeat him."
"Is his strength really that great!" Lin Ziying's expression shifted. As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, she had always been pampered and arrogant, never taking anyone else seriously. Now, someone among the younger generation could be her opponent, causing her expression to change instantly.
The Lin family patriarch did not answer. Instead, he looked at Lu Fan and said, "I am very curious, where did you get this Sacred Fire? You control Sacred Fire at such a young age, and your strength is so formidable."
"A nobody, not worth mentioning!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "However, now that things have come to this, I hope the Lin family patriarch will keep his promise!"
"My Lin family will naturally keep its promise. If we lose, we lose," the Lin family patriarch nodded.
"Thank you then!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face. Having resolved a problem for the Han family, he felt much more relaxed.
"Young friend, I see you are no ordinary person, and your age is quite similar to my daughter's."
The Lin family patriarch smiled and said, "Do you two have any interest?"
"What does the Lin family patriarch mean by that?"
Lu Fan was slightly stunned, a hint of awkwardness on his face. He hadn't expected the Lin family patriarch to speak like this, catching him off guard.
"Ziying, in terms of looks and talent, she is unparalleled."
The Lin family patriarch chuckled. "I am also quite satisfied with you. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could become my Lin family's son-in-law?"
The Han family members stood by the side, their faces also a little awkward. The Lin family had been on the verge of conflict just moments ago, wanting Lu Fan to pay a price, and now they were talking about taking Lu Fan into the Lin family.
"Thank you for your kind offer."
Lu Fan waved his hand. "However, matters of marriage require mutual affection. Forcing it blindly is meaningless."
"Dad, I haven't even agreed yet!"
Lin Ziying spoke up. "How can you make decisions for me without my consent? I don't think much of people like him!"
Lin Ziying's words were arrogant.
Lu Fan, however, was unconcerned and did not care.
The Lin family patriarch coughed a few times but did not say much more.
He was very optimistic about Lu Fan's strength, but judging by Lu Fan's words, he probably had no interest in Lin Ziying.
"Han family patriarch, your Han family has met a benefactor today!"
The Lin family patriarch said with a smile, then led the Lin family members away. Since they had lost, they naturally would not linger.
After the Lin family members left, the Han family patriarch looked at Lu Fan. "Young Lu, please accept my bow!"
Saying that, the Han family patriarch was about to kneel, but Lu Fan stopped him. "Why is the Han family patriarch doing this? I am friends with Han Feng, it's just a small effort!"
"Sect Master, I, Han Feng, will remember this great kindness today!"
Han Feng cupped his fists. "If there is ever a need in the future, I will spare no effort!"
"No need for that!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "Now that the Han family's affairs are resolved, it seems it's time for me to leave!"
"Where is the Sect Master planning to go?"
Han Feng said repeatedly, "The people from the Eighth Prince's Mansion are still looking for you. Your situation is extremely dangerous right now!"
"The Eighth Prince's Mansion annihilated the entire North Sea Academy. I must make them pay!"
Lu Fan's eyes carried a cold glint. Within the North Sea Academy were many of his friends and his former place of cultivation. Now that they were all dead, and this matter was related to him, how could Lu Fan accept it.
"The Eighth Prince's Mansion is powerful. If you want to oppose them, you will surely perish without a burial place!"
Han Feng said repeatedly, "Sect Master, you must think twice. If you keep the green hills, you'll never run out of firewood!"
"Thank you for the reminder, but the Eighth Prince's Mansion is heartless. Having committed such a massacre, I will definitely make them pay!"
Lu Fan said, then left resolutely. The Eighth Prince's Mansion killing everyone at the North Sea Academy had cast a shadow in Lu Fan's heart. If he were to evade this now, it would greatly hinder his future cultivation.
"Brat, don't act rashly!"
The Hong Meng old man spoke. "With your current strength, trying to deal with the Eighth Prince's Mansion is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
"Everyone at the North Sea Academy died because of me. I must avenge this!"
Lu Fan's expression was cold and determined. Since it was something he had decided, he would not give up easily.
"I will not stop you from making your choice, but you must understand that with your current strength, you cannot possibly seek revenge!" the Hong Meng old man's voice was heavy.
Lu Fan felt helpless and didn't know what to do, even feeling agitated.
"If you can find other Sacred Fires and fuse them to improve your strength, perhaps you will be able to deal with the Eighth Prince's Mansion soon!" the Hong Meng old man's voice sounded again.
"Sacred Fire?"
Lu Fan's eyes shifted. "That's easier said than done. Even the White Lotus Sacred Fire, ranked thirty-eighth, was obtained by chance!"
"I, the old man, once traveled the Spirit Realm and heard that in the Heavenly Fire Pavilion, there is a Cyan Lotus Sacred Fire. If you can fuse with it, your strength might increase further!" Su Dan Novel Network.
"Cyan Lotus Sacred Fire?"
Lu Fan was slightly surprised. "The Cyan Lotus Sacred Fire, ranked thirty-seventh on the Sacred Fire List?"
"That's right. As long as you can absorb the Cyan Lotus Sacred Fire, your strength will surely increase greatly!"
The Hong Meng old man nodded. "At that time, dealing with the Eighth Prince's Mansion will not be difficult!"
"Then where is this Heavenly Fire Pavilion?" Lu Fan asked, somewhat surprised.
"It's north of the White Dragon Dynasty!"
The Hong Meng old man stated directly, "However, the Heavenly Fire Pavilion is filled with experts. It might not be easy for you to obtain the Cyan Lotus Sacred Fire!"
"No matter how dangerous it is, I will go!"
Lu Fan's expression was solemn. He had not forgotten the deaths of everyone at the North Sea Academy. If he could not make them pay, how could Lu Fan give up.
Just then, Long Yi and Han Feng arrived. "We'll go with you. Dealing with the Eighth Prince's Mansion is not something you can do alone!"
"I've changed my mind!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "Without sufficient strength, going to the Eighth Prince's Mansion is seeking death. You all stay in Han City and gather the disciples who survived. When I return after achieving great success, we will seek revenge from the Eighth Prince's Mansion!"
"I was thinking the same thing!"
Han Feng nodded, his expression even more solemn. This way, they would have a chance to regroup.
"Then where are you planning to go?"
Long Yi looked at Lu Fan, even more surprised.
