"You..."
Yang Xing Tian was shocked, Lu Fan's arrogance enraged him.
Lu Fan shrugged, "What, I spared you earlier, and you seem unsatisfied?"
Yang Xing Tian's face changed drastically, "Senior is joking, how dare I!"
"It's good that you dare not!"
Lu Fan nodded in satisfaction, then left the lakeside in Zhongzhou.
"City Lord, you're just letting him go?" A man stepped forward.
"What else can I do?" Yang Xing Tian cursed, "I usually tell you all to practice diligently, but now we have to be grandsons!"
Yang Xing Tian cursed and left in a huff.
After this incident, Zhongzhou was like an explosion, with one shocking event after another.
Now, Lord Lu of Jiangnan's reputation must be resounding throughout the Dragon Country.
After finishing all this, Lu Fan returned to the Gu family, followed by the Han family head and the Zhao family head.
"Lord Lu, has the head of the Jiang family been dealt with?" The Han family head asked.
"I handled it personally, so of course there are no problems!" Lu Fan nodded.
In the courtyard of the Gu family, Gu Wen and the Gu family members were helping the Qingyun Sect members treat their wounds.
Gu Long came to Lu Fan's side, "Lord Lu, your battle has made you famous in Zhongzhou City, truly admirable!"
"You flatter me!" Lu Fan waved his hand, "Thank you, Gu family, for treating the Qingyun Sect members. If the Gu family has any troubles in the future, the Qingyun Sect will surely repay the favor!"
"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning!" The Gu family head said, "Today's battle has made Lord Lu's reputation soar, but this will also attract the attention of the Dragon Country!"
"That's right!" Gu Long nodded, "I heard that even the City Lord of Zhongzhou City was dispatched. This matter is probably not that simple!"
"City Lord of Zhongzhou City?" Lu Fan smiled faintly, "He did appear, but he almost died by my silver needles!"
Gu Long was slightly surprised, he hadn't expected Lu Fan to dare to touch Yang Xing Tian.
If this matter were reported to the Dragon Group, it would surely cause ripples.
"Lord Lu, the Gu family will wholeheartedly look after the Qingyun Sect members!" Gu Long said solemnly, "You should leave Zhongzhou immediately, you cannot delay!"
"Why?" Lu Fan shrugged.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Dragon Group will send people soon!" Gu Long said repeatedly, "I'm afraid they are not coming with good intentions. Even if you have connections with the Dragon Group members, destroying the Jiang family is no small matter!"
"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll cover it with earth!" Lu Fan said casually, "Besides, they can't do anything to me!"
Seeing that Lu Fan was not listening, Gu Long was quite anxious and didn't know what to do.
Meanwhile, in a forest, Yang Xing Tian was holding back his anger, waiting quietly.
Soon, a few figures appeared, "City Lord Yang, what's going on? You've personally requested a meeting!"
"Esteemed sirs, Lord Lu of Jiangnan did not abide by the city rules and annihilated the entire Jiang family!" Yang Xing Tian said repeatedly, "As the City Lord, I was almost wiped out by him. I beg you sirs to do justice for me!"
"You've got quite the nerve to provoke him!" Bei Dou chuckled, "Even I was almost wiped out by him!"
"This..." Yang Xing Tian looked surprised, "Senior, aren't you making fun of me? You are a member of the Dragon Group, who in the martial arts world can contend with you!"
"I say, Old Yang!" Jian Ying sighed, "You think too highly of us. Lord Lu of Jiangnan has immense power and an immeasurable future. Even if we want to help you, we can't!"
Yang Xing Tian was stunned, he never imagined that the three lords of the Dragon Group would speak like this.
"You go back first!" Bei Dou said, "Remember, within Zhongzhou, you can offend anyone, but don't offend him."
Yang Xing Tian's body trembled. Bei Dou's words were enough to show that Lu Fan seemed to have other identities, and even the members of the Dragon Group dared not act rashly.
Thinking of this, Yang Xing Tian felt a sense of dread. If Lu Fan's strength was truly above that of the Dragon Group members, then he must be a War Spirit expert.
Such a young War Spirit was rarely encountered, even within the Dragon Country. Coupled with Lu Fan's fearlessness towards the Dragon Group, it was likely that Lu Fan possessed an even more terrifying identity within the Dragon Country.
"Since you esteemed sirs cannot resolve this matter, I have been a bother!" Yang Xing Tian cupped his fists, "There are other matters in the city, so I will take my leave!"
After they left, Jian Ying looked at Han Bing, "When are you going to give it to him?"
"Later!" Han Bing said with a wry smile, "After all, there are too many people now, and it's not appropriate for us to expose ourselves easily!"
Back at the City Lord's mansion, Yang Xing Tian had someone prepare a generous gift and, with the City Lord's mansion guards, headed towards the Gu family.
"City Lord, he almost took your life, why are you still giving him a gift?" The man beside him asked in surprise.
"There are things you wouldn't understand if I told you!" Yang Xing Tian waved his hand, "You just need to remember to be respectful when you see Lord Lu, and don't offend him in the slightest, or even I won't be able to protect you!"
The man nodded repeatedly and instantly became spirited, he had never seen the City Lord so serious.
The reason Yang Xing Tian acted this way was his guess that Lu Fan's identity was extremely high, possibly even surpassing the Dragon Group. If that were the case, how could he dare to offend him.
As the City Lord, he was insignificant in front of truly influential figures.
Meanwhile, in the Gu family, the Qingyun Sect members were mostly bandaged when a disciple from outside reported.
Gu Long learned of the situation and quickly looked at Lu Fan, "Lord Lu, City Lord Yang is here with people!"
"He's got guts!" Lu Fan's expression was cold.
The Gu family members' expressions changed. Yang Xing Tian was the highest authority in Zhongzhou, and his arrival today was likely not for good.
As Yang Xing Tian stepped into the courtyard, everyone watched, while Lu Fan sat aside, drinking tea.
"City Lord Yang's visit is truly a great honor to welcome you!" The Gu family head quickly stepped forward, showing great courtesy.
"You're welcome, Gu family head!" Yang Xing Tian waved his hand and walked towards Lu Fan.
The atmosphere instantly became oppressive, and the Qingyun Sect members were ready to fight.
In their view, Yang Xing Tian's arrival at this moment must be for ill intent.
"Your subordinate Yang Xing Tian, having offended Lord today, begs for your forgiveness!"
Yang Xing Tian spoke earnestly, bowing low, not daring to look directly at Lu Fan.
Everyone present was instantly astonished, not knowing what was happening. The dignified City Lord of Zhongzhou actually showed such an attitude towards Lu Fan.
"Why are you doing this?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "If I remember correctly, your attitude at the Zhongzhou lakeside earlier was not like this!"
"I was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and offended Lord, so I specifically came to beg for forgiveness!" Yang Xing Tian hurriedly said, while presenting the gift he brought.
"You are thoughtful!" Lu Fan nodded slightly, "If there's nothing else, you may return! I will accept the gift."
"Thank you, Lord!"
Yang Xing Tian hurriedly thanked him, not daring to delay, and left with the City Lord's mansion guards.
After they had left, Gu Long asked in surprise, "Lord Lu, what's going on?"
"I don't know either!" Lu Fan shrugged, "Perhaps he was scared silly by my needle!"
