There were many people on the Ancient Costume Street, and Lu Fan's words surprised them even more.
Those from ancient sects had always been arrogant, especially with so many experts appearing. Lu Fan, however, showed no fear, his words laced with sharpness.
"Attack together! Kidnap the women and deal with the men!"
The leader spoke coldly. As a senior disciple of his sect, he would not back down.
"Just you lot?"
In an instant, Gu Wen appeared, followed by the people of the Qingyun Sect.
"Your subordinate greets the Sect Master!"
The Qingyun Sect members knelt on one knee, exuding an immense aura.
Gu Wen had already made his move, sending over a dozen figures flying. He was now a Battle Spirit expert, just one step away from Battle King. Dealing with the current opponents was naturally not a problem.
The crowd on Ancient Costume Street was stunned. They hadn't expected Lu Fan to have such a formidable background and be protected by over a dozen figures.
The man in green was forced back, his face turning ashen. He had intended to make Lu Fan suffer, but he hadn't expected to run into such trouble today.
"Master, should we deal with these people directly?" Gu Wen cupped his fists.
"Cripple them all!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "As people from ancient sects, acting so unscrupulously on Ancient Costume Street, they are likely scoundrels in the nation as well!"
"You can't touch us!"
The man in green stated coldly, "We are disciples of the Qingyi Sect. If you touch us, the Qingyi Sect will never let you go!"
"Ridiculous. Within the Dragon Country, there is no one I dare not touch!" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent.
Gu Wen smirked, with Lu Fan's nod, he would show no mercy.
The faces of the man in green and the others changed drastically. They had been on Ancient Costume Street for many years but had never encountered such a situation.
Even after revealing their identity, Lu Fan still refused to back down.
"Who is this guy? What a show of force! He even dares to provoke people from ancient sects!"
"Who knows! But if he provokes people from ancient sects, how will they let him off?"
On Ancient Costume Street, many people conversed, looking at Lu Fan with astonishment. Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to act this way.
Just as Gu Wen was about to act, a voice echoed from the depths of Ancient Costume Street, "No rash actions within Ancient Costume Street!"
Everyone looked towards the source, their expressions filled with awe. The voice came from a distance, yet it carried clearly, imbued with internal energy that made people tremble.
A middle-aged man, surrounded by a group of people, strode towards Lu Fan, radiating a powerful aura.
"Thirteenth Master! He's actually alarmed the Thirteenth Master!"
Many people exclaimed, looking at the middle-aged man. Thirteenth Master was the founder of Ancient Costume Street and a peerless expert, holding immense authority within the street.
"Young man, can we let this matter go today?"
Thirteenth Master looked at Lu Fan, "No one can act rashly within Ancient Costume Street, otherwise, it breaks the rules!"
"Breaks the rules?"
Jiang Meili stepped forward and sneered, "When they brought people to attack us, why didn't you say it broke the rules?"
"Presumptuous! How dare you speak to Thirteenth Master like that!"
Several men spoke coldly, their demeanor overbearing.
Thirteenth Master smiled, "It was my oversight. Please do not take offense!"
"I will naturally not take offense!"
Lu Fan smiled, "But these people from the Qingyi Sect must pay the price!"
Thirteenth Master's expression shifted. Normally, when he intervened, no one would dare to refuse him. But Lu Fan's words suggested he had no intention of giving him face.
"Young man, you are not from an ancient sect and do not understand the complexities. I hope you reconsider," Thirteenth Master stated directly. "If you offend the Qingyi Sect, they will pursue you to the ends of the earth!"
The man in green also looked smug, no longer taking Lu Fan seriously. As Thirteenth Master said, the Qingyi Sect was not someone to be offended lightly.
"I know what I'm doing in this matter!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "If you wish to save them, you can try to make a move!"
On Ancient Costume Street, the crowd was aghast. They had seen arrogant people before, but never someone this arrogant, directly provoking Thirteenth Master. Such a thing had never happened on Ancient Costume Street before.
"Young people are indeed impetuous!"
Thirteenth Master chuckled, his expression turning cold. "Since you insist on acting, I will not interfere further!"
"Then thank you!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly and signaled to Gu Wen.
Seeing the situation was not good, the man in green attempted to appeal to Thirteenth Master, but was immediately sent flying by Gu Wen, with no chance to react.
After dealing with the Qingyi Sect members, Lu Fan said, "It's getting late, time to head back!"
Lin Ke nodded slightly, knowing he had caused trouble today and did not dare to say more.
"The Qingyi Sect is powerful. They likely won't let you go, young man!"
Thirteenth Master looked at Lu Fan, "Young man, you must be careful!"
"Thanks for the reminder!" Lu Fan shrugged. "As long as Ancient Costume Street does not get involved, it's of no consequence. If Ancient Costume Street gets involved, I wouldn't mind destroying this Ancient Costume Street!"
The people of Ancient Costume Street had grim expressions. Lu Fan's words showed utter disregard for them, making it difficult to accept.
Thirteenth Master, however, remained unfazed. Instead, he smiled and turned to leave, causing some of his followers to express their dissatisfaction.
Ancient Costume Street had never been like this before. Lu Fan's arrogance filled them with hostility.
"Thirteenth Master, why is this?" a man asked. "That kid is acting like this on Ancient Costume Street, completely disregarding it and you!"
"If he doesn't even care about the Qingyi Sect, what am I?" Thirteenth Master said with a wry smile. "These people are not simple and likely have significant backgrounds, otherwise, why would they act like this!"
"Even if their backgrounds are significant, they are too arrogant!"
Many men expressed their displeasure. "Acting like this on Ancient Costume Street is simply unbearable!"
"You don't need to say more. The Qingyi Sect will naturally have people to deal with him!"
Thirteenth Master stated calmly, "We can sit back and watch the show. Moreover, these people's origins are unknown. Do not offend them easily unless absolutely necessary!"
"We understand!"
The men nodded. Although they were quite displeased, as Thirteenth Master said, Lu Fan and his group's arrogance suggested significant backgrounds. Just the dozen or so figures beside Lu Fan were all at the Master level or above, which was telling.
Within Ancient Costume Street, many people looked at Lu Fan, their hearts filled with shock. To elicit such a reaction from Thirteenth Master, he was certainly no ordinary person. Moreover, daring to act like this on Ancient Costume Street was unprecedented.
"Why are you guys here?" Lu Fan asked Gu Wen.
"We happened to be investigating this area, but there was no news!" Gu Wen said with a bitter smile. "Trying to find the Tai Xu Sword is like searching for a needle in a haystack!"
"You've worked hard!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. "But you must be more careful. Today's incident will surely bring people seeking revenge!"
