"What? Do you intend to act within the Wuji Divine Sect?" Zhulong's expression turned instantly cold, his gaze snapping towards Lu Fan, carrying a surge of immense anger. This was the Wuji Divine Sect, and Lu Fan's actions were tantamount to provoking them.
Before his words had even fallen, Lu Fan had already appeared before him, directly seizing his throat. "If Xian'er was truly harmed by you, let alone the Wuji Divine Sect, even a Holy Land would not escape my wrath."
"Let's talk this through. Please, do not act within the Wuji Divine Sect, or it will inevitably lead to war!" Elder Bei Tian frowned, quickly intervening to mediate.
This was the Wuji Divine Sect, and Zhulong was an elder of the sect. Lu Fan's current impulsiveness could easily trigger unrest, a situation that ordinary individuals could not withstand.
"So what if it leads to war? Does my Assassin Dynasty fear the Wuji Divine Sect?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, his expression growing colder. With a single command, Guiying would lead numerous assassins here, and what then would the Wuji Divine Sect have to fear?
Elder Zhulong struggled fiercely but found himself utterly powerless against Lu Fan. It seemed Lu Fan's strength far surpassed his own, leaving him deeply shaken.
Lu Fan's aura was not overwhelming, but everything that had transpired today left him struggling to cope.
"Lu, this matter has not been fully investigated. You cannot be so reckless," Old Master Chen advised. "If he is not responsible, there is no need to treat him this way, lest it damage the harmony between our families."
"Grandpa Chen, you heard him just now. He has already admitted it."
Lu Fan stated directly, "I fear this matter is inextricably linked to him. How can I let it go?"
In response to Lu Fan's words, Old Master Chen nodded solemnly, turning his gaze towards Zhulong. "Our grievances are merely old ones. If you are truly not responsible, do you have any proof?"
"What a joke! To question me like this within my Wuji Divine Sect, do you truly believe the Wuji Divine Sect has no one?"
Zhulong's expression was cold, laced with immense killing intent. In his heart, Lu Fan's actions were akin to courting death. Once he offended the Wuji Divine Sect, it would undoubtedly lead to endless turmoil.
"Why must you be so reckless? Regardless, he is an elder of our Wuji Divine Sect!"
The Sect Master of Wuji arrived, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan. "This is also the Wuji Divine Sect. Your impulsiveness, where does that place the Wuji Divine Sect?"
"Sect Master, this person is arrogant and has insulted our sect!"
Zhulong exclaimed repeatedly, "This matter absolutely cannot be let go. Otherwise, what face will our Wuji Sect have?"
The Sect Master of Wuji also frowned, his gaze falling upon Lu Fan with a cold expression. In his view, Lu Fan's conduct was highly displeasing.
"Sect Master, please do not misunderstand. I do not intend to offend the Wuji Sect deliberately. It is simply that this matter today is of grave importance, and he must provide an explanation," Lu Fan stated directly. "If the Sect Master insists on obstructing me, I will not compromise easily!"
"Are you threatening me?" The Sect Master of Wuji's face instantly turned grim. Lu Fan's words made his veins bulge. He was, after all, the Sect Master of Wuji, and Lu Fan's disregard for him was unacceptable.
"It is not a threat, but a warning."
Lu Fan smiled faintly. "With just one command from me, assassins from the Assassin Dynasty will arrive at the Wuji Divine Sect. How will the Sect Master cope then?"
"You underestimate me too much. The Wuji Divine Sect has become a super sect precisely because of its profound foundation. Your words show a blatant disregard for the Wuji Divine Sect!"
The Sect Master of Wuji said coldly, "I advise you to consider carefully and not do something foolish."
Old Master Chen also frowned, feeling Lu Fan was being too rash. After all, there was still room for maneuver in this matter, and it couldn't be definitively confirmed that Zhulong was responsible.
"The Sect Master should not be advising me, but him!"
Lu Fan still held Zhulong, his expression growing more indifferent. "If he doesn't admit it was him, I wouldn't be like this."
"You are correct. I am that benefactor!" Zhulong smiled. "But what of it? Do you dare to kill me within the Wuji Divine Sect? I doubt you have the courage."
Upon hearing this, many disciples revealed their astonishment. They had not expected that this matter was indeed Zhulong's doing. If that were the case, Lu Fan and his group's purpose was clear.
"Zhulong, don't speak nonsense!" Elder Bei Tian quickly said, "This matter is of great importance. If handled improperly, it will lead to endless trouble."
Zhulong remained unfazed, his gaze provocatively fixed on Lu Fan, as if he didn't regard Lu Fan at all. He even seemed to want to provoke Lu Fan into attacking him, at which point the Sect Master of Wuji would surely not let Lu Fan off easily.
"You are simply courting death. Since you have already admitted it, you can't blame me!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, spiritual energy surging in his palm. He had paid a great price to find the culprit, and after such a long time, with the perpetrator now before him, he would not back down.
Rumble...
Zhulong was sent flying by a fierce palm strike, his face turning ashen. He spat out a mouthful of blood, causing quite a stir, and the surrounding disciples were stunned.
"You..."
The Sect Master of Wuji's face turned ashen. "You dare to act within my Wuji Sect? Does this mean he also disregards the Wuji Divine Sect?"
"Sect Master, you heard clearly just now. He admitted to sending people to intercept and kill Chen Xian'er. This matter is clear!" Lu Fan sneered, a chill in his voice.
"Even so, you should not have acted within my Wuji Divine Sect!"
The Sect Master of Wuji said coldly, "In doing so, what face does our Wuji Divine Sect have?"
"Elder Zhulong!"
Many disciples stepped forward, attempting to rouse Elder Zhulong, only to find him already unconscious. It seemed his heart meridians had been severed by Lu Fan, and he had died outside the great hall.
"He's dead?"
Elder Bei Tian quickly spoke, his eyes filled with panic. He had clearly not expected Lu Fan to be so reckless as to kill an elder of the Wuji Divine Sect within the sect itself. How could the Wuji Divine Sect accept this?
"Dead?"
The Sect Master of Wuji's eyes were chaotic, filled with immense rage. How could he tolerate Lu Fan's actions? "You have such audacity! To dare kill an elder of my Wuji Divine Sect, have you considered whether you can leave here?" Su Dan Novel Network
Elder Bei Tian was suddenly startled. The Sect Master's words filled him with dread.
