"I just received intel that he's heading to Death Valley today."
The middle-aged man repeatedly said, "With Granduncle making a move there, it will surely be foolproof and won't alert Dragon Country."
"Dragon Country?" The white-haired elder narrowed his eyes. "Could he be related to Dragon Country?"
"I don't know the specifics, but it seems to be related to Dragon Country's Dragon Group," the middle-aged man nodded. "However, he killed the Jiang family, and we can't just let him get away with it."
"So what if he's related to the Dragon Group? He killed our Jiang family members, and he will pay with blood."
The Jiang family's Granduncle stepped out, heading towards Death Valley, his body radiating boundless killing intent. He had been in seclusion for a hundred years, and now that the Jiang family's legacy was destroyed, how could he not be enraged?
Meanwhile, inside Death Valley, before Lu Fan and the others even entered, they felt a deathly aura. Many people at the amusement park were disguised as zombies, and some even had ghost images painted on their faces, making them look quite terrifying.
"This is Death Valley?"
Lin Xiaojia exclaimed excitedly, "It looks like it'll be fun."
"Naturally, it's fun," Gu Wen said with a smile. "The stuff outside is just a facade; Death Valley itself is truly terrifying. Once you're inside, you'll have a much better experience."
Lin Xiaojia nodded vigorously, looking quite thrilled. Han Qiushui also seemed a bit excited, as girls generally enjoy such thrilling scenes, even if they are inwardly scared.
"You two men must protect us well once we go inside," Han Qiushui said. "We're both weak women, and we're quite panicked by these ghosts and ghouls."
"It's just an illusion," Gu Wen replied helplessly. "So you don't need to worry."
"Even if it's fake, it should still be quite scary inside," Lin Xiaojia said sheepishly.
"It's alright, we'll stay behind both of you," Lu Fan smiled. "We won't let anything happen to you."
Lin Xiaojia nodded solemnly, finally feeling relieved. Lu Fan's assurance was enough for her.
Upon entering Death Valley, it was pitch black. Inside the caves of Death Valley, many soul banners drifted, just like in the movies, making it quite frightening.
"Roar..."
A scream echoed from the depths of the cave, sending chills down their spines. Lin Xiaojia, terrified, kept retreating until she bumped into Lu Fan, finally feeling a sense of security.
"It's okay, they're all people in disguise," Lu Fan shrugged. "You don't need to worry so much!"
With these words, Han Qiushui and the others also nodded in agreement and pressed forward. They were all martial artists, and despite their inner fear, they were naturally stronger than ordinary women.
They stumbled their way through. Lin Xiaojia's palms were sweating from fear, while Gu Wen appeared relaxed, seemingly quite familiar with the scene.
After descending the first level of Death Valley, the two women's faces were pale, while Lu Fan and Gu Wen remained calm, as if nothing had happened.
"It was too exciting, it was so exciting inside!"
Lin Xiaojia was beaming with excitement. "I've never been to such a fun place before, and I suddenly want to go through it again!"
"If you want to go again, then you can go by yourself!" Gu Wen said. "I'm sure you won't be afraid!"
"By myself?"
Lin Xiaojia immediately shook her head. "Then I wouldn't dare!"
"I'll go with you!" Han Qiushui walked over. "We'll go together this time, without them."
"Mhmm, mhmm!" Lin Xiaojia quickly nodded. Having gone through it once, she no longer felt any fear.
Lu Fan and Gu Wen sat aside, sipping tea. Death Valley was not only an amusement park but also a scenic spot, which was quite touching.
"The old man's birthday is in a few days. What should I give him?" Lu Fan looked at Gu Wen. "Give me some suggestions."
"For Master to attend the old man's birthday is already giving the Gu family enough face," Gu Wen said with a wry smile. "As for what to give, it doesn't really matter."
"If you say that, isn't that disrespectful to the old man?" Lu Fan rolled his eyes. "Regardless, the Gu family has helped a lot during this trip to Zhongzhou, so I can't be too casual."
"Master, you jest. For the Gu family to be on friendly terms with Master is already the Gu family's honor!" Gu Wen said with a serious expression.
Lu Fan smiled slightly and didn't say more, instead looking towards the distance of Death Valley. For some reason, he felt a powerful aura approaching nearby.
After a while, Lin Xiaojia and the others emerged from inside, their faces filled with joy.
"You two seemed to have had a lot of fun today," Gu Wen mocked. "You didn't have this expression when you arrived."
"Thank you, Young Master Gu, for your hospitality," Han Qiushui smiled. "If it weren't for Young Master Gu, we probably wouldn't have been able to experience the local customs and traditions!"
"Cough, cough..." Gu Wen said with a serious expression, "I quite like hearing that."
However, at that very moment, Lu Fan instantly became alert, his gaze shifting. He looked forward simultaneously.
And right in front of Death Valley, a white-haired elder, like a phantom, appeared before Death Valley in an instant. He looked like an immortal, his face etched with wrinkles.
The elder's expression was indifferent as he looked towards Death Valley.
Sensing the sharp gaze, many people at Death Valley felt apprehensive. The elder's powerful aura was something ordinary people could not resist.
Lu Fan stood still, looking towards the white-robed elder. Gu Wen and the others also frowned, clearly sensing something was amiss.
"The old man's aura is very strange. Why is he here?" Han Qiushui asked. "Could he be here for us?"
"How is that possible? We have no enmity with him, so why would he be here for us?" Gu Wen rolled his eyes. "Besides, who is Master? Who would dare disrespect Master?"
"I don't think so!" Lu Fan chuckled. "Perhaps he is here for me!"
At this moment, the Jiang family's Granduncle looked at Lu Fan, seeming to see through everything. Lu Fan's strength was the most mysterious among everyone in Death Valley, and he must be the "Lord Lu" mentioned by the Jiang family.
"Are you Lord Lu of Jiangnan?"
The white-haired elder looked at Lu Fan, his tone even more indifferent.
"That's correct!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. "I am Lord Lu of Jiangnan. May I ask who Senior is? And why do you know my name?"
"Were you the one who annihilated the entire Jiang family?" the white-haired elder questioned again, his tone becoming even colder.
As the Jiang family's Granduncle, with the entire Jiang family's foundation, now that the Jiang family was annihilated, how could he stand idly by? If Lu Fan wasn't dealt with today, he would never rest.
"You are from the Jiang family?" Lu Fan glanced at him. "I never expected the Jiang family to have a master like you. If you were present that day, the Jiang family might not have been destroyed."
"My Jiang family is a martial arts family of Zhongzhou, with a hundred years of heritage. How can you destroy us just because you say so!" the Jiang family's Granduncle said coldly, spiritual energy surging around him, appearing capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
The true Battle Spirit realm practitioners wield not only internal energy but also supreme spiritual power.
