"What terrifying flame power! The temperature within the entire city has already risen so much. Does he intend to melt the whole of Tianxiang City?"
Many people exclaimed, their hearts filled with dread. The strength Lu Fan displayed was exceptionally terrifying, making them feel apprehensive and solemn.
"Such potent flame power is truly the first I've ever witnessed!"
Miaoyin frowned and said, "But even so, you shouldn't have attacked my sect!"
"Oh really?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, his expression appearing indifferent. "Who I choose to attack is my prerogative, not something you can control. Moreover, you cannot escape your fate today, and yet you dare to utter such words?"
"Even with your powerful flame energy, you may not be able to capture me!" Miaoyin said coldly. "What do you mean by 'cannot escape your fate'?"
"You truly are stubborn!"
Lu Fan's expression remained cold. In that instant, a surge of immense power erupted, appearing exceptionally terrifying and directly permeating the entire Miaoyin Pavilion.
The people of Miaoyin Pavilion all ascended into the air, their faces turning pale. This was because the entire Miaoyin Pavilion had now become a sea of fire. No one could stand within the flames, as these were no ordinary flames. Their power was so great that it could ignite their spiritual energy, a truly terrifying prospect.
Sensing that the situation was dire, Elder Miaoyin dared not hesitate. She turned to flee the place. She had already sensed Lu Fan's aura. Although it hadn't reached the Immortal Emperor realm, his overall strength was not weak, and it even seemed to subtly surpass hers.
If that were the case, she might not escape her fate today, especially considering Lu Fan's demeanor, which suggested he had no intention of letting her go.
"There's no need to struggle further. You are already a trapped beast, unable to escape my grasp!"
Lu Fan sneered, "Further struggle is futile. If you lead me to Tianxiang Sect now, you might still preserve your life!"
Miaoyin's brows furrowed slightly, then she smiled. "Since you wish to go to Tianxiang Sect so badly, I shall grant your wish. I want to see if you can leave alive after reaching Tianxiang Sect!"
"Then I thank you!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face. Whether he could leave alive was not important. What was important was that he had his own plans for going to Tianxiang Sect.
In the blink of an eye, Miaoyin withdrew her aura. She knew that continuing to resist would bring her no benefit, but rather invite disaster. It was better to comply with Lu Fan's wish, which would alleviate her panic.
At the same time, Lu Fan could clearly sense the calculations Miaoyin was making in her heart, but he paid them no mind.
Since they were going to Tianxiang Sect, he had already made his preparations!
The moment Miaoyin withdrew her aura, Lu Fan struck fiercely, directly immobilizing her.
"What do you mean by this?"
Miaoyin's expression instantly turned grim. She hadn't been on guard before, and she hadn't expected Lu Fan to attack directly, catching her off guard.
"No other meaning. This way, I won't have to worry about you running away on the road!" Lu Fan shrugged. "After all, before we reach Tianxiang Sect, no one knows what might happen!"
"Shameless! To restrain me when I'm not paying attention! If I'm taken advantage of on the road, how will I protect myself?" Miaoyin said coldly.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you!" Lu Fan shrugged. "So you don't need to be like this!"
"You..."
Miaoyin's teeth itched with anger, her face turning ashen. She hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so direct.
Even within Tianxiang Sect, she was considered a peerless beauty. For Lu Fan to speak to her in such a manner, how could she accept it? She felt extremely displeased.
However, Lu Fan remained unfazed by all this, not taking it to heart at all.
After leaving Tianxiang City, Lu Fan led Miaoyin towards Tianxiang Sect. Along the way, they remained silent, especially Miaoyin, who didn't say a word and kept a stern expression.
Observing the scene, Princess Bei Mei suddenly stepped forward and smiled. "I've long heard that the women of Tianxiang Sect are all stunning beauties. It seems to be true. With your looks, you could likely rank among the best in the entire Heavenly Court Dynasty!"
"Naturally. I am called Miaoyin, which signifies the highest quality!"
Miaoyin said proudly. "It's a pity I encountered someone so clueless, who doesn't understand how to cherish a woman and actually sealed my spiritual energy!"
"It can't be helped. Who told you to be an elder of Tianxiang Sect and possess such strength? If we let you escape, how would we be able to reach Tianxiang Sect!" Princess Bei Mei said helplessly.
"When you arrive at Tianxiang Sect, you will surely regret this!"
Miaoyin said coldly, with great dissatisfaction. If she hadn't been restrained, she wouldn't have resigned herself to fate like this.
"Don't even think about it. Even if you reach Tianxiang Sect, you won't be able to do anything!" Lu Fan shrugged, his gaze appearing calm.
"As a super sect, how can Tianxiang Sect be provoked by you!" Miaoyin said coldly. "Your words just now are even more ridiculous!"
"Since you don't believe my words, I have nothing more to say. However, since I've spoken, I will never be wrong!"
Lu Fan said indifferently, not paying much attention. Regardless, Miaoyin was an elder of Tianxiang Sect, and there was no point in him saying more.
Before long, they arrived at Tianxiang Sect. Around the perimeter of Tianxiang Sect, there were many disciples, all of whom appeared extraordinary and clearly not ordinary disciples.
Upon seeing the scene before them, Miaoyin was instantly overjoyed. Having arrived at Tianxiang Sect, she no longer had to worry too much.
At least in her opinion, Lu Fan and his companions were about to pay a heavy price, which was the consequence of offending her.
"Elder Miaoyin, why have you returned to the mountain?"
A female disciple stepped forward, looking at Miaoyin with confusion.
Under normal circumstances, Miaoyin should have been in Tianxiang City, not here.
"My spiritual energy has been sealed by these people. Quickly go and inform the other elders!" Miaoyin exclaimed.
The disciples were stunned and became somewhat vigilant, unsure of what had happened.
They were well aware of Elder Miaoyin's strength, and under normal circumstances, it shouldn't have come to this.
"He's telling the truth. Hurry and inform the Sect Master of Tianxiang Sect that the enemy is attacking!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his gaze remaining calm.
Even after arriving at Tianxiang Sect, he showed no fear. Instead, a sinister smile played on his lips, as if everything was under his control.
Miaoyin's face turned ashen. Lu Fan's provocation made her extremely displeased. Unfortunately, with her spiritual energy sealed, it was almost impossible for her to deal with Lu Fan. It seemed she could only accept her fate.
