"What makes you think you can speak to me like that!" Chen Jianbei said coldly, "Get out!"
Lu Fan ignored him, his aura growing stronger, even tinged with anger. Chen Jianbei's actions had displeased him greatly.
"What, you want to lay hands on me?" Chen Jianbei said coldly, "Do you know who I am? Do you know where this is? You, a lowly ascender, dare to act so arrogant in front of me?"
"In the entire Celestial Realm, most are ascenders. Are you discriminating against everyone?" Lu Fan said coldly, "You have violated the rules of Xuan Emperor City, and you must be apprehended. This is also the rule of Xuan Emperor City!"
"Ridiculous, I am the young master of the Chen family!" Chen Jianbei said coldly, "If you have the guts, try and touch me!"
Lu Fan sneered instantly, his aura intensifying. He hadn't intended to act, but Chen Jianbei was too arrogant. What was more detestable was that the old sage hadn't done anything wrong, yet he was killed. How could Lu Fan tolerate such a thing?
In that instant, Lu Fan grabbed Chen Jianbei by the neck. With a slight squeeze, Chen Jianbei would likely meet his end, without even a chance to gasp for breath.
At the same time, many experts from the Chen family frowned and said to Lu Fan, "You better not mess around. This is our young master. If anything happens to him, your life will be forfeit!"
"Is that so!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming even more indifferent. He looked at Chen Jianbei and said, "If I squeeze a little harder, do you think you'll be finished?"
"You dare!"
Chen Jianbei was somewhat flustered and worried. His life was now in Lu Fan's hands. If Lu Fan was truly reckless, he would be in deep trouble.
"What is there to not dare!" Lu Fan's spiritual power surged, accompanied by an imposing aura.
Chen Jianbei's face turned ashen. "You better not mess around. If anything happens to me, you'll regret it!"
Lu Fan sneered at his words, "Weren't you messing around just now? Should I still be afraid of that?"
"I didn't lay a hand on you, why are you insisting on holding onto me!" Young Master Chen pleaded, "If you let me go, I won't hold it against you!"
"I'm truly sorry, but I have to enforce the rules of Xuan Emperor City, so you'll have to go to the Xuan Emperor City prison!" Lu Fan shrugged, a cold smile on his face.
Faced with this, Chen Jianbei's face turned ashen. He never expected Lu Fan to be so stubborn, leaving him bewildered. He, the proud young master of the Chen family, was being forced to walk by Lu Fan. How would he ever show his face again?
With this thought, Chen Jianbei's anger surged, filled with immense dissatisfaction. However, he was powerless. He was in Lu Fan's grasp, and any misstep could cost him his life.
This was a great humiliation for him.
"What should we do? The young master has been captured. What now?" many people exclaimed, their expressions growing more anxious. This was the young master of the Chen family. Among the three great families in Xuan Emperor City, each had a Half-Emperor. Such powerful beings, superior to ordinary Great Sages, were terrifying. Apart from the Xuan Emperor himself, they were the most formidable.
Not long after, Lu Fan escorted the young master to the dungeon. The young master looked wronged. He never imagined that he, the esteemed young master of the Chen family, would be thrown into prison simply for killing an ascender. He found it unbearable.
After finishing this, Lu Fan left the dungeon. Jian Yu stood before him, "You're going to get yourself into trouble by doing this. I know you can't stand him, and you feel wronged for that old sage. But you should know, the Celestial Realm has always operated on the law of the strong. If we weaklings offend these strong individuals, the outcome will always be..." Su Dan Novel Network
"Thank you for your concern, but you don't need to persuade me. I have my reasons for what I do!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Everything has a price. Young Master Chen arbitrarily killed a sage, which violates the rules of Xuan Emperor City. Therefore, I must deal with him according to the regulations!"
Jian Yu was somewhat helpless. His personality was the opposite of Lu Fan's. He always prioritized his own safety in any situation to ensure long-term development. This was why he had been able to endure and ascend.
As they were talking, Lei Batian walked over, looking somewhat flustered. "You've gotten me into big trouble, haven't you? Did you capture the young master of the Chen family?"
"He arbitrarily killed a sage in Xuan Emperor City, violating the city's rules. Of course, I had to arrest him!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Didn't the captain tell me this?"
"Are you an idiot? Don't you know who they are? The Chen family has a Half-Emperor. Do you know what that means?" Lei Batian quickly said, "If the head of the Chen family finds out you've arrested his son, how can he let you off easily? You'll be in serious trouble!"
"I am acting entirely according to the rules of Xuan Emperor City. If anyone violates the rules, I cannot indulge them!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his words sounding indifferent, as if all of this was normal in his eyes.
Faced with these words, Lei Batian felt helpless. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to speak like this, leaving him speechless.
At the same time, Steward Wu arrived with a group of people, their demeanor aggressive. "Captain Lei, what's going on? I just heard you arrested the young master of the Chen family? Don't you know that the Chen family is not to be offended? You've been captain of the guard for so many years, do I still need to tell you this?"
"I'll go release him now!" Lei Batian bowed and scraped, not directly implicating Lu Fan.
"I was the one who arrested him, not the captain," Lu Fan interjected. "Steward Wu, there's no need to blame the captain. I acted in accordance with the rules of Xuan Emperor City, and I did nothing wrong!"
"You have quite the nerve, but it depends on the timing!" Steward Wu glared, then said to Lei Batian, "Hurry up and release him. If the head of the Chen family finds out and comes to the City Lord's Mansion himself to demand his release, and then the Xuan Emperor finds out, we'll be in serious trouble!"
Lei Batian quickly nodded, not daring to delay, and headed towards the dungeon, looking somewhat fearful. In the entire Celestial Realm, one had to be respectful and cautious to live peacefully. If one acted lawlessly, they would likely die there soon.
