Lu Fan's body trembled slightly. He was already a powerful figure in this era, yet before the Canglong Academy, he seemed insignificant. This showed how Canglong Academy, which stood above all nations, was beyond their ability to contend with.
"Actually, there are many powerful sects in this region!" Long Yi said directly. "Canglong Academy is just the tip of the iceberg!"
"No matter how strong Canglong Academy is, I will get to the bottom of it!" Lu Fan said solemnly. "Whoever annihilated my Lu family will have to pay the price!"
"The heavens in this land are about to change. Canglong Academy, in order to become even stronger, has been searching for ancient treasures. Only by obtaining them can they become more powerful!" Long Yi stated.
"What is the use of these ancient items?" Lu Fan asked in surprise. "Why does Canglong Academy care so much?"
"These treasures possessed immense power in ancient times, and some could even enhance cultivation!"
Long Yi explained, "They are incredibly rare. It is precisely because of this that the Lu family was targeted!"
"It seems my Lu family's ancestors must have been remarkable individuals!"
Lu Fan sighed. "It's a pity that the family has declined and been bullied to this extent!"
"At least the Lu family bloodline still exists!"
Long Yi chuckled softly. "If I'm not mistaken, there must be other brothers in this world. Their talents are likely not weak. If they can be of assistance to you, they will achieve great things in the future!"
"Clan brothers?"
Lu Fan trembled slightly. Since his birth, he had no contact with any other clan brothers apart from his grandfather's generation. If there were other clan brothers, they would undoubtedly achieve great things in the future.
As they were conversing, on the battlefield beyond the territory, shouts of killing suddenly erupted, and smoke billowed continuously. It seemed something had happened.
Lu Fan hurried out of his room and looked towards the battlefield beyond the territory. "That direction seems to be the Dragon Kingdom's stronghold. Could the stronghold be in trouble?"
Besides Lu Fan, others also rose quickly and came to the courtyard, looking towards the battlefield beyond the territory, wondering what had happened.
"The battlefield beyond the territory, with intense warfare, and the momentum of martial arts is even greater!"
Baili Xue spoke, "Could it be the Cang Qiong Kingdom!"
"Besides the Cang Qiong Kingdom, no one else would dare to attack the Dragon Kingdom!"
Gu Wen frowned and said, "It seems the Cang Qiong Kingdom is preparing to act. I didn't expect it to be a sneak attack. With their strength, such conduct is despicable!"
"Gather the disciples of Qingyun Sect and prepare to head to the battlefield beyond the territory!"
Lu Fan's expression turned cold. In a time of national crisis, he would not indulge in pleasure here.
"Each kingdom takes turns. What does this have to do with Qingyun Sect!" Long Yi remarked. "You could have ignored this matter!"
"If you think of me this way, then I've failed miserably!" Lu Fan shrugged. "The war with the Cang Qiong Kingdom is inevitable, and I will never hide behind others!"
"That's right, how can one not participate in a war between nations!"
Bai Huaxue said solemnly, "I have already sent word to the Baihua family, asking them to come and provide assistance!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, with a deeper sense of gratitude. The Cang Qiong Kingdom attacking the Dragon Kingdom must have been well-prepared. With the battlefield beyond the territory ablaze, those who abide by the alliance's promises now will surely become true friends of the Dragon Kingdom in the future.
"Little Fan, I'll go with you!"
Lin Ke said repeatedly, "No matter what happens, I want to be with you!"
"Silly girl, you didn't join last time, were you already unhappy!" Lu Fan chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't stop you this time. Come with me to the battlefield beyond the territory and slay the strong enemies!"
"Slay the strong enemies!"
Han Qiushui's voice was solemn, his eyes filled with sharp killing intent. He had now reached the Battle Spirit realm, advancing alongside Gu Wen. With the great battle imminent, he naturally wanted to showcase his skills.
However, at this moment, several figures flickered, and Han Bing and others arrived. "The battlefield beyond the territory is in urgent need. We request Lord Lu to guard the Dragon Kingdom! The Fourth Elder and the others have all been dispatched; they will fight to the death with the Cang Qiong Kingdom."
"The Fourth Elder and the others have already gone?" Lu Fan glanced over. "Asking me to guard the Dragon Kingdom is like asking me to be a coward! As the guardian god of the Dragon Kingdom, can I only do such things!"
"We implore Lord Lu to reconsider."
Han Bing quickly said, "Last time, during the great battle of the Dragon Kingdom, Lord Lu fought to protect it. We all witnessed it. This time, the Fourth Elder is personally leading the team, and there will be no mishap!"
"Speak no more!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "The battlefield beyond the territory is fraught with danger. How can I stand idly by!"
Han Bing's expression changed. He had come here specifically under the Fourth Elder's orders. Seeing Lu Fan's expression, it seemed he did not intend to stand idly by.
"There are many experts within the Dragon Kingdom, and moreover, the Third Elder has come out of seclusion. With him guarding the Dragon Kingdom, it is sufficient!"
Lu Fan waved his hand and then looked at Gu Wen. "Gather the disciples of Qingyun Sect and head to the Dragon Kingdom's battlefield beyond the territory to defend the Dragon Kingdom's borders. We must not let the enemy enter the country!"
"This disciple obeys!"
Gu Wen quickly cupped his fists, his fighting spirit soaring. The Cang Qiong Kingdom had suffered a loss last time, so they must be well-prepared this time, likely with a multitude of experts. Therefore, the battlefield beyond the territory would be even more dangerous. Despite this, they would not retreat, for they had no other path.
"Let me remind you, sects that have survived since ancient times have become powerful by not participating in the wars of various nations, thus preserving their strength!"
Long Yi stated, "Qingyun Sect needs to rest and recuperate to continue existing!"
"When Qingyun Sect was founded, it was to defend the Dragon Kingdom!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "If the nation does not exist, how can a family? If that were the case, Qingyun Sect would have no need to exist!"
After Lu Fan finished speaking, he led everyone towards the battlefield beyond the territory. The Cang Qiong Kingdom must be well-prepared this time, likely with many experts. If Qingyun Sect did not provide support, how could they resist the foreign enemies.
Han Bing stood aside, feeling somewhat helpless. He was already a half-step Battle King, but as the captain of the Dragon Group, he could only obey the elder's orders and guard the Dragon Kingdom's mainland, unable to enter the battlefield beyond the territory.
At this very moment, within the Dragon Kingdom's headquarters, a white-haired elder stood with his hands behind his back, gazing in the direction of the battlefield beyond the territory, his eyes also becoming heavy.
"I wonder if this battle can repel the Cang Qiong Kingdom!" the Third Elder frowned.
"With the Third Elder guarding the Dragon Kingdom, nothing will happen!"
The Guide smiled. "Even before the Third Elder came out of seclusion, the Cang Qiong Kingdom was defeated!"
"It's different!"
The Third Elder shook his head. "Times have changed. Moreover, the Cang Qiong Kingdom has suffered a loss once; how could they suffer a second time? They must be well-prepared this time!"
"Why haven't the First Elder and the Second Elder come out of seclusion yet?" the Guide asked again.
"They are in a crucial period of seclusion. If the Dragon Kingdom were not in turmoil, they would not have come out early!" the Third Elder stated directly.
