"You are the dignified King of the Northwest, how could I not give you face!" the Flame Sect Master said with a smile, "Does the King of the Northwest find my actions satisfactory?"
"Do you think I would believe you?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "Your words suggest you are prepared!"
"If the King of the Northwest insists on thinking so, there is nothing I can do!"
The Flame Sect Master shrugged slightly, his expression becoming even more indifferent, as if in his eyes, Lu Fan was of no consequence.
"My Lord, this Flame Sect Master is acting this way, we cannot let him off easily!"
The Lord of Yun City spoke, his voice carrying a powerful aura. For the Flame Sect Master to be so arrogant at this point was outrageous.
Lu Fan waved his hand and looked at the Flame Sect Master, "I don't know who is backing you, but it won't be easy to take someone from me!"
"The King of the Northwest is truly joking!"
The Flame Sect Master said directly, "I know you are no ordinary person, but I am not easy to deal with either!"
Lu Fan remained silent, instead presenting a booklet to the Flame Sect Master, "Do you admit to the evidence of your crimes contained within?"
After a moment of observation, the Flame Sect Master smiled slightly, "What is recorded here is accurate, these are all my deeds!"
"I truly didn't expect you to be so straightforward?"
Lu Fan sneered, "It seems I underestimated you!"
"You can't say it like that!"
The Flame Sect Master said softly, "Things have come to this point, and it is a helpless situation for me. If possible, I would naturally wish for peace talks!"
"Peace talks?"
Steward Zhao was stunned. After the Flame Sect Master's words, he was momentarily at a loss.
At the same time, everyone else looked at the Flame Sect Master with surprise.
"Your crimes are too numerous to count!"
Lu Fan said softly, "Do you still think I would let you go!"
"Why must the King of the Northwest be like this!"
The Flame Sect Master said coldly, "Now that things have reached this stage, do you truly wish for the Royal Mansion to be enemies with the Flame Sect? You should know what the consequences are for making enemies with the Flame Sect in the entire Northwest region!"
Upon hearing these words, everyone present sneered, completely disregarding them, as if nothing mattered in their eyes.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan smiled slightly, "You are thinking too simply. Since I have taken action against you, I never intended to let you go!"
"You can't say it like that!"
The Flame Sect Master stated directly, "As the Sect Master of the Flame Sect, I am at least a member of the sect, and more importantly, I have more powerful backing. If you offend me, even the King of the Northwest will have to reconsider!"
Faced with this threat, Lu Fan laughed without anger, staring coldly at the Flame Sect Master, "You have quite the nerve, daring to threaten me at this point!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Fan turned his gaze to Steward Zhao, "According to the laws of the Northwest region, what punishment should the Flame Sect Master receive for these crimes?"
"Death penalty!"
Steward Zhao's voice rang out, his expression serious.
Following these words, the Flame Sect Master's face instantly turned ugly. He had not expected things to turn out this way, catching him off guard.
"Since it is a death penalty, execute it directly!"
Lu Fan's voice was indifferent, carrying a commanding aura, as if he paid no mind to it at all.
"Your Majesty, are we acting now?"
Steward Zhao was taken aback. He had not expected Lu Fan to be so direct.
"His spiritual power is sealed, he cannot even deal with an ordinary person, do I need to do it myself?" Lu Fan retorted.
"Your subordinate will handle it!"
Steward Zhao quickly nodded. He had initially thought Lu Fan was merely trying to scare the Flame Sect Master, but he had not expected him to be serious.
"King of the Northwest, if you truly kill me, have you considered the consequences?"
The Flame Sect Master looked sharply at Lu Fan, a powerful aura emanating from him, his expression extremely cold.
Upon hearing these words, everyone's expression suddenly changed, and they looked on in disbelief, clearly not expecting things to unfold this way.
"Consequences?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, picking up the booklet, "It seems I need to read them out to you one by one. The Flame Sect has massacred tens of thousands of civilians and is utterly devoid of humanity!"
"Hmph!"
The Flame Sect Master snorted coldly, "They are merely ants, what do they matter!"
"Since you believe ants are insignificant, today I shall kill you to bring solace to the countless deceased civilians!"
Lu Fan's voice was icy, carrying a palpable presence, as if everything mattered greatly in his eyes. Su Dan Novel Network
"You cannot kill me!"
The Flame Sect Master said coldly, "The Sect Master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect is my close relative. If you dare to kill me, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect will never let it go, and you will likely be unable to bear the consequences!"
"Heavenly Dragon Sect?"
Lu Fan raised an eyebrow and immediately sneered, "And what of it? Does this Heavenly Dragon Sect intend to rebel?"
The Flame Sect Master's face turned ashen. He still wanted to threaten Lu Fan, but Lu Fan seemed completely unfazed, his expression sharp and piercing.
After the Flame Sect Master was taken away, the various City Lords looked at Lu Fan, "My Lord, are you truly going to act against him?"
"That is natural!"
Lu Fan nodded, "Now that things have reached this point, how can I easily let it go!"
Seeing Lu Fan's firm resolve, the various City Lords frowned, a hint of worry on their faces.
"The Heavenly Dragon Sect has immense power. If they truly come to demand his release, what will you do, my Lord?" the Lord of Yun City asked, his expression serious.
Now that things had reached this stage, some matters needed to be faced, and he would not conceal them from Lu Fan.
After all, if the Flame Sect Master died unjustly, it would inevitably cause an uproar, which would definitely not be a fortunate event for them.
"This is the Northwest region, and I am the Lord of the Northwest. Is there anyone who can overstep me?" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, his words devoid of any hesitation.
Faced with these words, the various City Lords were momentarily stunned, but they immediately dared not say more. What Lu Fan had just said was not without reason.
However, they were acutely aware that some things could be done, and some could not. What had happened today had undoubtedly exceeded their expectations.
Screams erupted as the Flame Sect Master met his demise. Witnessed by the people of Yun City, he was unable to even resist, as his spiritual power had been sealed by Lin Fan.
Seeing the scene before them, the people of Yun City were shocked. They had never imagined that the Flame Sect Master would die so unexpectedly, leaving them caught off guard and deeply shaken.
"My Lord, it has been resolved!" Steward Zhao arrived, bowing his fist.
Lu Fan nodded slightly, his gaze calm, as if in his eyes, the Flame Sect Master deserved to die, otherwise, he would not have been so decisive.
Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Elder Yanlong clasped his fists and said, "I implore the Sect Master to uphold justice for our Sect Master. He has been captured and taken to Yun City, and his life is likely in danger!"
"The Flame Sect Master is my nephew, how could I let this matter rest!"
The Sect Master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect waved his hand, stood up, and said to an elder, "Summon the other sects in the Northwest region, and accompany me to Yun City!"
