"You should worry about yourselves!"
The leading man in black said coldly, "You can't even protect yourselves now, yet you're still thinking about others!"
Han Yunhai's face turned ashen. The black-clothed men were numerous, and their leader was exceptionally powerful. It was extremely difficult to escape this calamity.
"Deal with them all!"
The leader in black sneered, "Not a single one can be spared!"
The many black-clothed men nodded and unleashed their assassination techniques. They seemed seasoned veterans, appearing exceptionally indifferent to the scene before them.
"Qiushui, take Miss Jiang and leave!"
Han Yunhai reminded, "After returning to Long Country, report this matter. Lord Lu may have met with misfortune in Haiguo!"
"We advance and retreat together. I will never seek to survive by compromising!"
Han Qiushui's expression was solemn, "If it truly is the work of Haiguo, we will make them pay the price."
"If you don't leave, how will the Great Elders know!"
Gu Wen reminded, "If we hesitate any longer, we might not be able to leave."
"You're thinking too wishfully. This is a death trap. No one can escape. Give up on that idea!"
The leader in black said coldly, his powerful aura erupting, instantly sweeping towards everyone with terrifying energy.
Rumble…
A massive explosion sounded. Han Yunhai and the others were shaken. The other black-clothed experts also surged forward, attacking them one by one.
At the critical moment, a powerful aura appeared on the extraterrestrial battlefield, causing the leader in black's face to turn pale. He sensed a terrifying energy and was greatly alarmed.
Rumble…
Another loud bang occurred. The black-clothed men were sent flying, and the leader in black retreated explosively. Lu Fan stood in the center of the crowd, his expression indifferent as he looked at the black-clothed men.
"Master!"
Gu Wen's eyes lit up with joy. Han Qiushui was also surprised. He had thought Lu Fan had already met his demise, but now that he stood before them unharmed, it filled him with hope.
"Everyone, hurry and leave!"
The leader in black roared, quickly fleeing in another direction. Lu Fan's strength was terrifying, and he couldn't contend with it. If he didn't leave now, he might perish here.
"Do you think you can still leave!"
Lu Fan's voice was icy. He unleashed internal energy, and many black-clothed men died. Only the leader in black was intercepted by Lu Fan.
"Who sent you here? How dare you be so reckless!"
"Haiguo Elder!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader in black fled in another direction, unwilling to die here.
Unfortunately, his speed was nothing compared to Lu Fan. In an instant, he was heavily struck.
"I just visited Haiguo. Why would Haiguo send people to assassinate me!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Based on your actions just now, I can guess that you are not from Haiguo!"
"Lord Lu is indeed astute!"
The black-clothed man sneered, but blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He soon collapsed to the ground, dead.
"Why is he dead?"
Shangguan Xue stepped forward, frowning. She didn't know the origin of the assailant.
"Master, do you know who might be responsible?" Gu Wen asked simultaneously.
"These people are all from the Black Shadow Organization!"
Lu Fan said grimly, "They knew our whereabouts and wanted to kill you in advance to frame Haiguo!"
"How despicable!"
Han Qiushui frowned. "The Black Shadow Organization seems to have been founded by people from Long Country. Why would they sow discord!"
"Naturally, it's because of me!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "The leader of the Black Shadow Organization has a deep blood feud with me!"
"Since he has a grudge with you, why don't we go and settle it!"
Shangguan Xue spoke, "They have quite a bit of nerve to act like this!"
"I was thinking the same thing!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. "But not now. With the formation of the Alliance of Nations, I need to return to Long Country as soon as possible to inform the Elders of this matter!"
The group exchanged glances and nodded. Since Lu Fan had made his decision, they naturally wouldn't dare to defy him.
Within the Black Shadow Organization, a man rushed to report, "Valley Master, the assassination failed, and the Fifth Elder is also in trouble!"
Du Qianqiu frowned. "How could this happen?"
"Lord Lu has already realized that this matter was done by the Black Shadow Organization!" the man said solemnly.
The elders present also frowned. As high-ranking members of the Black Shadow Organization, their brows were tightly knit.
They were well aware that the Black Shadow Organization's situation in the extraterrestrial battlefield was unstable, and any trouble at this time would lead to significant problems.
"Since he already knows, there's no need to conceal it!"
Du Qianqiu waved his hand. "I had intended to instigate a war between him and Haiguo, but it seems that won't happen now!"
"Valley Master, Lord Lu's strength is not what it used to be. If he brings the Qingyun Sect to the Black Shadow Organization himself, what should we do!" a white-haired elder spoke.
"I have a feud with him. Since he dares to come, I will fight him!" Du Qianqiu's eyes gleamed with cold light. "His current achievements must be related to that item!"
"In that case, Valley Master might as well strike first!"
The white-haired elder said solemnly, "I've heard that Lord Lu cares most about the people in Longdu!"
"That's within Long Country!"
Du Qianqiu's brow furrowed. "If I enter rashly, won't it cause trouble!"
"The three Elders of Long Country have been in seclusion for many years but have never been seen. Even when Long Country was in peril, the three Elders did not appear!"
The white-haired elder chuckled. "This leads me to believe that the three Elders of Long Country are likely no longer alive. Why should the Valley Master worry!" Sudian Novel Network
Du Qianqiu fell into thought. He had always been afraid to enter Long Country because he feared the three Elders of Long Country. If the three Elders did not appear, he would have no scruples and wouldn't need to worry about anything else.
"To obtain that item, Valley Master has waited for 18 years. This opportunity must not be missed," the white-haired elder said solemnly.
"Go and prepare. Gather the members of Black Shadow!"
Du Qianqiu's expression was cold. "March to Longdu!"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
The white-haired elder quickly clasped his fists, his expression even more excited. After so many years, Du Qianqiu was finally ready to act.
A few days later, Lu Fan arrived within the borders of Long Country. Han Qiushui and the others waited outside, while Lu Fan entered the Long Country headquarters.
"Lu kid, you haven't disappointed us!"
The Fourth Elder said with a smile, holding a document. This was a handbook from more than ten nations' alliances. With so many alliances, Long Country also had a guarantee.
Last time, Long Country was almost devastated by the alliance of the Sky Country. This time, they would not sit idly by.
"The successful completion of this mission is mainly due to the strong national power of Long Country."
Lu Fan smiled lightly. "If it weren't for that, other countries might not have agreed to the alliance!"
"You don't need to be so humble!"
The Seventh Elder shot him a glance. "If it weren't for you, many countries might not have given face. You are the lifeline of Long Country. With you, Long Country can become even stronger!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Elders!"
Lu Fan smiled. "I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay here any longer!"
"You kid, after accomplishing such a great task, you must drink with us tonight!" the Fourth Elder said.
