"What if I insist on pursuing him?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Does the Master of Medicine King Valley intend to spar with me?"
"Mr. Lu is a distinguished guest of Longguo and the master of Qingyun Sect. How would Medicine King Valley dare to be your enemy!" The Master of Medicine King Valley smiled, his words exceptionally peaceful.
"Valley Master, this brat possesses formidable strength and is an enemy of Medicine King Valley. If he is not eliminated, he will be a boundless trouble in the future!" Xia Handong spoke up. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Will you not stop talking!" The Master of Medicine King Valley said coldly. "This is your private matter. As the Master of Medicine King Valley, I should not have come to mediate, but you are an elder of Medicine King Valley, and absolutely no mistakes can be made!"
"Master of Medicine King Valley, you just heard him. He harbors killing intent towards me. If I let him go today, I fear I will have no peace in the future!" Lu Fan stated directly. "I hope the Valley Master will not interfere."
"Master Lu, are you joking!" Another elder spoke. "He is the Great Elder of Medicine King Valley. How can we stand by and watch you act recklessly!"
"So, Medicine King Valley wants to bully the few with numbers?" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "If that's the case, then a deep rift is formed today!"
"Mr. Lu, please do not misunderstand. This is not the original intention of Medicine King Valley!" The Master of Medicine King Valley said directly. "It's just that this matter is of great importance, and moreover, he is the Great Elder of Medicine King Valley, and no accidents can happen!"
"Valley Master, your words truly hold hidden meanings." Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "If I forcefully take his life, what will Medicine King Valley do?"
"Master Lu, think thrice!" The Master of Medicine King Valley smiled. "With me present, I'm afraid no one can take his life!"
Following these words, Lu Fan's expression instantly turned grim. Medicine King Valley, relying on its numbers and momentum, showed no regard for him.
"You brat, you have quite the nerve. Do you truly believe Medicine King Valley fears you?" Xia Handong said coldly. "If you dare to make a move today, you will be sent back without return!"
"Will you not stop talking!" The Master of Medicine King Valley's expression was cold. "Medicine King Valley has always been reclusive and peaceful. Now, I've broken precedent for you, and you still show no remorse!"
Xia Handong quickly shut his mouth, a look of helplessness on his face.
Lu Fan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stepped into the air and moved directly towards Xia Handong. The battle in Longdu was initiated by Xia Handong, and Lu Fan was unwilling to let this matter end peacefully.
The Master of Medicine King Valley frowned. They did not wish for Medicine King Valley to be involved, but Lu Fan was too forceful, and even he could not dissuade him. His expression couldn't help but show a hint of emotion.
With a palm strike, the Master of Medicine King Valley collided with Lu Fan. The impact resounded through the sky, astonishing the onlookers.
Pfft...
Lu Fan retreated several steps abruptly, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth, his face pale. The Master of Medicine King Valley, however, looked indifferent, as if nothing had happened, as if Lu Fan in his eyes was merely a child.
"Truly ignorant of heaven and earth, daring to cause trouble in front of the Valley Master!" Su Dan Novel Network
The elder beside him said coldly, looking at Lu Fan with disdain. The Master of Medicine King Valley's strength was immense, placing him at the pinnacle of the entire Longguo. Lu Fan, even as a Battle King, might not be able to shake him.
"No wonder you are called Valley Master. Your strength is indeed formidable!" Lu Fan sneered. "I have indeed broadened my horizons!"
"Master Lu is young and promising. To reach the Battle King realm at such a young age, your future achievements will surely surpass mine!"
The Master of Medicine King Valley smiled faintly. "The strike just now was merely a light probing. Master Lu, please do not take it to heart."
"This is truly a great joke. That strike was so fierce, how could it be a simple probing?"
At that moment, an aged voice sounded. The Fourth Elder strode forward, standing beside Lu Fan. "Master of Medicine King Valley, I trust you are well!"
"So it's the Fourth Elder of Longguo!" The Master of Medicine King Valley cupped his fists. "I didn't expect you to be here as well!"
"Medicine King Valley is reclusive and peaceful, yet the Valley Master has made such a forceful move. If I hadn't come, you would likely have become even more overbearing!" The Fourth Elder narrowed his eyes.
"The Fourth Elder jokes. I merely did not want to see them fight, which is why I intervened," the Master of Medicine King Valley said solemnly.
"If you truly didn't want them to fight, you wouldn't have allowed the Great Elder of Medicine King Valley to leave the valley. Now that he has been defeated, you have to clean up the mess!" The Fourth Elder said coldly. "As the Master of Medicine King Valley, you rashly attacked a preparatory elder of Longguo. Have you considered the consequences of such a crime?"
The Master of Medicine King Valley's expression changed. This matter involved Longguo, and if he handled it poorly, it would be a disaster for Medicine King Valley.
"Do not try to scare us!" Xia Handong said coldly. "The Three Great Sects united are not necessarily afraid of Longguo! The Fourth Elder's words, where does that place the Valley Master?"
"What audacious boasting!" The Ninth Elder narrowed his eyes. "The Three Hidden Sects united, do you truly think so?"
Xia Handong was about to speak when he was reprimanded by the Master of Medicine King Valley. "You dare to speak nonsense here again, truly ignorant of heaven and earth!"
After lecturing him, the Master of Medicine King Valley smiled. "Longguo is the dominion of Longguo, and we are all subjects of Longguo. How could we dare to oppose Longguo!"
"Master of Medicine King Valley, you are too humble!" The Fourth Elder smiled. "In fact, what he said just now was not wrong. The Three Hidden Sects united pose no threat to Longguo. However, if Longguo decides, it still possesses the strength to annihilate the Three Sects!"
At this point, the Fourth Elder's eyes flashed with killing intent, his expression filled with coldness. As the Fourth Elder of Longguo, how could he tolerate being threatened like this.
If even the elders of Longguo were to bow and scrape, then who in the entire Longguo would heed the elders' commands in the future.
"Of course, I understand this. Longguo has an abundance of expert elders, and how would Medicine King Valley dare to offend them!" The Master of Medicine King Valley cupped his fists. "Let today's matter end here. Everyone need not dwell on it!"
After speaking, the Master of Medicine King Valley prepared to lead his people away. He was acutely aware that Medicine King Valley was isolated and weak, and the other two major powers had ulterior motives. If he rashly offended Longguo, he would undoubtedly bring disaster upon himself.
"Today's severe injury, I will remember it!"
Lu Fan sneered. "I will repay it someday!"
The Master of Medicine King Valley felt bitter. Today's events were not his wish. Everything was caused by Xia Handong. It was a pity that he had needlessly made an enemy of Lu Fan, which would not be a good thing for Medicine King Valley in the future.
After the people from Medicine King Valley left, the Fourth Elder looked at Lu Fan. "How are you? Are your injuries serious?"
"I won't die. It's just a minor injury, not worth mentioning!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Why did several elders appear in time?"
"You brat are very precious, and I don't wish for you to be harmed." The Ninth Elder spoke. "We had already arrived at Bipotan, but your strength has grown so much recently that even I might not be your match anymore!"
Lu Fan showed a wry smile, but a warmth surged within him. The fact that the two elders valued him so much moved him.
