In that instant, dozens of figures surged out from the Tianxiang Sect, their momentum like a rainbow. Each figure was incredibly formidable, radiating the aura of the Immortal Emperor realm, commanding respect and not to be underestimated.
"Miaoyin, what is going on? Why are you with them?"
An old woman spoke, her name was Grand Elder Miaoxuan, a cultivator of unfathomable strength, inspiring immense awe.
"I..."
Miaoyin's face was etched with embarrassment. As an elder of the Tianxiang Sect, being captured by others was a profound humiliation.
Alas, at this point, he could do nothing but put on an innocent expression.
"What audacious gall! To dare lay hands on someone from my Tianxiang Sect!"
Miaoxuan's gaze snapped towards Lu Fan, as if she understood everything. Her eyes blazed with anger. This was the Tianxiang Sect, a place where no one could act with impunity.
Lu Fan's arrival at the Tianxiang Sect, with Miaoyin bound, was an act that could only incite her fury. It was a direct challenge to the authority of the Tianxiang Sect.
"Allow me to introduce myself!"
Lu Fan offered an awkward smile. "I am the Marshal of the Heavenly Court Dynasty. My visit to the Tianxiang Sect this time is for matters of discussion!"
"I don't care who you are or where you're from. If you have matters to discuss, this is not the way to do it!" Miaoxuan said coldly. "Confining our elder, is this your sincerity?"
"It was a measure of last resort. After all, he resisted. If I hadn't done this, how could I have gotten him to bring me to the Tianxiang Sect!" Lu Fan feigned a wronged expression.
"Whatever your reasons, they are merely excuses!"
Miaoxuan stated icily. "Release the person now and beg for mercy, and I will not hold you accountable. Otherwise, do not blame the Tianxiang Sect for showing no mercy!"
"No mercy?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly. "If I were not from the Heavenly Court Dynasty, you would have already attacked instead of going through all this trouble here!"
"What a joke! According to you, our Tianxiang Sect fears your Heavenly Court Dynasty!"
Miaoxuan retorted, her aura intensifying, her expression exceptionally cold. In her eyes, Lu Fan was already a corpse.
"I did not mean that. I am here at the Tianxiang Sect to discuss important matters. I hope the Sect Master of Tianxiang Sect will grant me an audience!" Lu Fan clasped his fists.
"To see our Sect Master, it depends on whether you have the strength!" Miaoxuan said coldly. "Our Sect Master is not someone whom just anyone can meet!"
"Since that is the case, I shall offend!"
Lu Fan ascended into the air, his palm controlling the power of flames, which surged with extraordinary intensity.
Sensing the pressure of this divine flame, Miaoxuan's expression shifted slightly. "I truly did not expect you to have mastered divine fire!"
"You flatter me!"
Lu Fan chuckled. "Elders, feel free to display your abilities!"
"Grand Elder, this person's strength is immense. Be careful!"
Miaoyin warned. "He controls divine fire and is protected by a divine artifact. Otherwise, I would not have been injured by him!"
"Divine artifact?"
Miaoxuan's expression changed. She had not taken Lu Fan seriously at first, but she never expected him to possess such trump cards, catching her off guard.
With this thought, Miaoxuan dared not be careless. However, no matter what, she would not let this matter rest today.
Lu Fan's audacity in trespassing into the Tianxiang Sect was a blatant disregard for its authority, something that could not be tolerated.
At the same time, everyone could clearly sense that the pressure of the divine fire around Lu Fan was growing stronger, becoming unparalleled.
"All Elders, attack together! We must not let him act recklessly!"
Miaoxuan's eyes were cold as she spoke, then she ascended into the air, streams of light flowing around her.
"Who is this person? He's so terrifying!"
"I heard he's from the Heavenly Court Dynasty and holds a high position. I never thought it would require all the Elders to attack together!"
"This is too incredible! If such a talent could become a member of the Tianxiang Sect, he would surely have countless admirers!"
Within the Tianxiang Sect, many disciples spoke, their gazes filled with a certain fervor. In their eyes, Lu Fan was quite the catch.
"Should we make a move?"
The Princess of Beimei asked, turning to Xue Long and the others.
"If we intervene, it won't be of much use!"
Xue Long shook his head, his expression grave, as if he had seen through many things.
Facing these words, the Princess of Beimei felt helpless and said no more.
As Xue Long had said, even if they were to act, it might not create much of a ripple.
After all, the Tianxiang Sect had many cultivators in the Immortal Emperor realm.
Whether the current situation could be resolved now depended on Lu Fan's ability to control everything, a fact no one doubted.
In an instant, the Elders attacked in unison, charging towards Lu Fan, leaving behind endless ripples in their wake.
Concurrently, Lu Fan calmly dealt with them, not taking them too seriously. Even with the combined assault of the Elders, they could not do much to him.
"How is this possible!"
Miaoxuan was filled with disbelief. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be like this, but now, things had far exceeded their expectations.
"You don't need to exert yourselves!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "My Haotian Tower has not even been unleashed, and you are already unable to cope. Naturally, you are no match for me. Have your Sect Master come out!"
"Youngster, spouting wild boasts!"
Miaoxuan sneered, her aura surging violently. In that instant, her power erupted, and her long sword emitted an endless radiance.
"Myriad Sword Rain!"
Witnessing the imposing aura before them, the people of the Tianxiang Sect shouted in unison. They remembered this was Miaoxuan's renowned ultimate skill, possessing terrifying power.
Miaoyin stood to the side, his expression extremely solemn. He had never imagined Lu Fan to be this terrifying.
He felt no grievance in being defeated by Lu Fan.
"What of Myriad Sword Rain!"
Lu Fan sneered, his aura surging. In that very moment, a powerful aura was unleashed.
Intense flame power condensed, and in the blink of an eye, the Myriad Sword Rain was completely incinerated by the divine fire, leaving no room for its execution.
Witnessing this scene, everyone was even more terrified. Lu Fan's monstrous abilities instilled a sense of dread.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Miaoxuan fell into a daze, utterly disbelieving. She believed Lu Fan's strength was considerable, but as a late-stage Immortal Emperor, unleashing such a formidable attack, how could he be dealt with so easily by Lu Fan?
"There is nothing impossible!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "You are still not worth me using my trump cards!"
Miaoxuan's face turned ashen, filled with unwillingness. Everything that had happened was deeply unsettling, even difficult to believe.
