The Northwest County Princess's gaze sharpened, a formidable aura emanating from her as she witnessed the scene before her. She had never imagined these individuals would dare defy her, filling her with immense displeasure.
However, with everyone having already departed, the Northwest County Princess, seething with rage, turned to the elders beside her and commanded, "Deal with all of them! Let them know the consequences of offending the Northwest County Princess!"
"Your Highness, absolutely not!" the white-haired elder quickly clasped his fists. "This matter is of grave importance. Once it escalates, the Dynasty will surely hold us accountable. It is best not to proceed this way!"
"What, do my words no longer hold any weight?" the Northwest County Princess retorted coldly, her displeasure evident. Perhaps in her eyes, everyone was meant to obey her, and no one could challenge her; this was the very essence of her status as the Northwest County Princess.
"Your Highness, please calm your anger. We are acting in your best interest!"
The others spoke in unison, their expressions grave. After all, this was an extraordinary matter for them, and if mishandled, it could indeed stir up endless trouble.
"Enough, enough. Let them go!" The Northwest County Princess waved her hand. If this matter were to blow up, it would not be beneficial for her. There was no need for such drastic measures.
Meanwhile, the others nodded in agreement. Since the Northwest County Princess had spoken, they no longer needed to worry too much. However, they were still somewhat affected by what had transpired that day, as the matter was indeed significant and could potentially cause a stir if mishandled.
Lu Fan and his companions had escaped, but they harbored some worry. The Hunyuan Heavenly General had been captured, which was undoubtedly not a good omen for them.
Upon their return to the Heavenly Soldier Mansion, Wuji Heavenly General and the others frowned, their expressions troubled. The Hunyuan Heavenly General had been taken to the Northwest County Mansion. If this matter were to escalate, it might be difficult to resolve.
"Wuji, what is your opinion on this matter?" Shenfeng Heavenly General inquired, his brow furrowed. This issue concerned the entire Heavenly Soldier Mansion, and they dared not be negligent.
"We will go to the Northwest County Mansion to demand his return!" Wuji Heavenly General stated directly, his eyes burning with anger. It seemed that in his view, all of this was as it should be.
"That's right, we must go demand his return!"
The others nodded in agreement, their gazes serious. They were well aware of the gravity of the situation. If anything were to happen to the Hunyuan Heavenly General, it would not be a good outcome for the entire Northwest County Mansion.
After a brief discussion, the several Heavenly Generals set off directly for the Northwest County Mansion without any delay. The Hunyuan Heavenly General was a member of the Heavenly Soldier Mansion, and if anything were to happen to him, they would be unable to account for it to the Lord of the Heavenly Soldier Mansion. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Will the Heavenly Generals be alright?" Ling'er asked with some concern, her expression inexplicably shifting. After all, the last time Xuan Emperor had offended the Bai family of the Northwest County, it had led to their ruin. Now, with the Hunyuan Heavenly General offending the Northwest County Princess, how could this matter be easily resolved?
"It's alright. They are all people of the Dynasty, and the Heavenly Soldier Mansion is a force within the official circles. Under normal circumstances, no matter how arrogant the Northwest County Princess is, she wouldn't dare do anything to them!" Lu Fan waved his hand, his gaze calm.
With Lu Fan's words, Ling'er and Zhao Xue nodded slightly and said no more.
Not long after the many Heavenly Generals had departed, Situ Jiannan arrived at the Heavenly Soldier Mansion with Situ Haoyue. Their arrival was imposing and unreserved, with a palpable killing intent in their eyes, drawing the attention of many within the Heavenly Soldier Mansion.
"Situ Jiannan has brought so many experts from the Situ family. Could they be here for revenge?"
Many people murmured, observing the scene with surprise. Under normal circumstances, it didn't seem like this should be happening.
Meanwhile, Situ Jiannan had reached Lu Fan's location. He narrowed his eyes and said, "In the Immortal Tomb, I let you escape death. This time, coming to the Heavenly Soldier Mansion, I will make sure you know the might of my Situ family!"
Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly, and he looked towards Situ Haoyue. "According to the rules of the Heavenly Soldier Mansion, outsiders cannot enter easily. You are violating the rules of the Heavenly Soldier Mansion just to deal with me. Isn't this a bit of an overreaction? If the powerful Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Soldier Mansion were to find out, they likely wouldn't let you off easily."
"The Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Soldier Mansion have already gone to the Northwest County Mansion. How could they be here?" Situ Jiannan narrowed his eyes. "I suggest you give up on that thought. Today, you are destined to die, and no one can save you!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan suddenly laughed, a cold glint in his eyes. In his view, none of this mattered. Having reached this point, he would absolutely not back down.
"Second Uncle, today he must pay the price, otherwise, what will become of our Situ family's reputation!" Situ Jiannan declared, his words carrying significant weight. Many within the Heavenly Soldier Mansion frowned, clearly surprised that Situ Jiannan would be so direct, bringing his second uncle to the Heavenly Soldier Mansion was not something ordinary people could achieve.
"You still dare to be so arrogant? Today, you will pay the price!" As soon as Situ Haoyue finished speaking, he lunged forward, exuding a powerful aura that seemed unstoppable.
Sensing this aura, Lu Fan's brow furrowed. Situ Haoyue was a Half-Emperor, ultimately stronger than him. If the battle were to continue for a prolonged period, he would be unable to cope, leading to unnecessary trouble.
"What should we do?" Zhao Xue asked, her gaze shifting to Ling'er.
"I don't know either!" Ling'er shook her head, her expression troubled. She had not expected things to turn out this way, catching them completely off guard.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan's expression grew solemn. He was well aware that some things could be done, while others could not. The current situation was definitely not good for them.
As time passed, Lu Fan continued to retreat, appearing to be at his limit. However, throughout the Heavenly Soldier Mansion, people dared not intervene easily, even continuously backing away. This was a personal vendetta, and they naturally found it inappropriate to get involved.
"You are destined to die today!" Situ Haoyue laughed. In the blink of an eye, a stream of light shot out, hurtling towards Lu Fan with terrifying force.
At the same time, Lu Fan retreated sharply, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Even he had not expected to be defeated so thoroughly. In the face of a Half-Emperor, he was still caught off guard. Such a powerful expert was, after all, several levels above him.
