"This is Medicine King Valley, not a place for you to act wild!" Xia Handong said coldly. "Now that the Dragon Kingdom faces external threats, do you want to start a war with the sects?"
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley also narrowed his eyes. The Dragon Kingdom was fraught with danger, and he was certain that the Fourth Elder would not dare to act at this time, or he wouldn't be so calm.
"It seems no matter what, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley is unwilling to send experts to assist?" the Fourth Elder squinted.
"It's not that Medicine King Valley is unwilling, but Medicine King Valley truly cannot dispatch so many Grandmasters!" The Valley Master cupped his fists. "Elder, why don't you go to the North Sea Pavilion? Perhaps they have more experts there!"
The Fourth Elder ignored him, his gaze falling on Lu Fan. "Young fellow, are you afraid?"
"What is there to be afraid of!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Since I stepped into the martial path, I have never feared anyone!"
"Good lad!" The Fourth Elder patted Lu Fan's chest, his aura instantly emanating, carrying with it an endless killing intent.
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley was startled. "What is the meaning of this, Fourth Elder? Do you truly intend to go to war with Medicine King Valley!"
"Are there any better options now!" The Fourth Elder narrowed his eyes. "Besides fighting, what else can I do!"
Lu Fan also instantly unleashed his aura, looking at the many elders, carrying killing intent. With matters having reached this point, they had no need to hold back.
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley's expression was solemn. He had not expected the Fourth Elder to be so direct. If a war were to break out, it would cause endless repercussions, and even the entire Medicine King Valley would have to become enemies with the Dragon Kingdom.
"When has our Medicine King Valley ever been at the mercy of others!" Xia Handong said coldly. "If you wish to fight today, Medicine King Valley will accompany you to the end!"
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley frowned, but he was quite wary. He wasn't worried about the Fourth Elder, but rather the top three elders of the Dragon Kingdom. These three elders had been in seclusion for many days, and their strength was extraordinary. If they were to awaken and learn that Medicine King Valley had broken ties with the Dragon Kingdom, it would surely cause a stir.
"Valley Master, they have pushed their noses to our faces. This matter absolutely cannot be let go!"
Xia Handong said repeatedly, his eyes becoming sharp. As an elder of Medicine King Valley, he was naturally imposing.
The Fourth Elder knew that a battle was inevitable today. With the situation still unsettled, the Dragon Kingdom still had the strength to fight. If Medicine King Valley truly intended to act this way, he would never flinch.
In that very instant, the Fourth Elder fired a signal flare into the sky.
Across the entire Dragon Kingdom, many people looked towards Medicine King Valley with confusion, wondering what had happened.
Within the Dragon Capital, Han Bing and others suddenly stood up. "This is an elder's summons. Could it be that the elder is in danger!"
"The direction of Medicine King Valley!" Long Aotian narrowed his eyes. "Dragon Group, assemble and proceed to Medicine King Valley!"
This signal flare was exclusive to the Dragon Group. The Fourth Elder firing the signal flare meant he was summoning the Dragon Group members, and there was no doubt about that.
Inside Medicine King Valley, the Valley Master's expression was ice-cold. "You are summoning the Dragon Group members. Do you truly intend to attack Medicine King Valley? Since you have so many experts, why not go to the Outer Domain battlefield and instead trouble Medicine King Valley!"
"If the three major sects refuse to exert themselves, the Dragon Kingdom will certainly not be able to defend itself!" the Fourth Elder smiled. "In that case, it would be better to perish together!"
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley's face changed drastically. If that were to happen, it would be a great harm to the entire Medicine King Valley.
They were all too aware that the Dragon Group was the sharpest force in the Dragon Kingdom. If it were used against Medicine King Valley, Medicine King Valley would likely be unable to withstand it, even with his personal presence.
"This is simply going too far!" Xia Handong said coldly. "Let's deal with these two first. As long as they are dealt with, why should we fear the members of the Dragon Group!"
"Such big talk!"
Lu Fan's expression was grim as he looked at Xia Handong. "Last time at the Blue Wave Pool battle, you were lucky to escape. This time, it's probably not that simple!"
In a flash, Lu Fan stepped towards Xia Handong. Medicine King Valley did not have many Battle Kings. Eliminating Xia Handong first would greatly reduce Medicine King Valley's combat strength.
Lu Fan attacked forcefully, his palm carrying powerful internal energy. Xia Handong, however, was flustered. He was very clear about Lu Fan's strength and dared not confront him head-on.
He had already lost the last battle at Blue Wave Pool, and now Lu Fan's strength had further advanced. If he were to rashly attack, he might not gain any advantage.
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley frowned. In that instant, he clashed with Lu Fan.
Boom...
A huge sound reverberated throughout Medicine King Valley. The Valley Master retreated rapidly and looked at Lu Fan again. "How is this possible? How could you, boy, have reached such a height in such a short time!"
"Disappointed you, Valley Master!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Last time I was injured by you, not only did it not leave any hidden dangers, but my strength also advanced. All of this is thanks to you!"
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley's brow furrowed. Through the previous exchange, he had sensed Lu Fan's strength. If he were to act rashly again, even he might not be able to suppress Lu Fan. If it truly came to that point, Medicine King Valley would be in a precarious situation.
However, in that instant, many experts from the Dragon Group appeared, surrounding Medicine King Valley tightly. Many hidden guards from the Dragon Kingdom also emerged, their bodies exuding immensely powerful auras.
In that very moment, the entire Medicine King Valley was filled with the sounds of battle. The people of the Dragon Kingdom fought with a defiant spirit. They were left behind to guard the Dragon Kingdom, intending to go to the Outer Domain battlefield, but now they were forced to be here. Upon learning that the Fourth Elder had besieged Medicine King Valley, their indignation grew.
"Fourth Elder, why be so angry!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley smiled. "If we truly start fighting, it will surely be a mutual destruction, which is probably not what you wish to see!"
"Mutual destruction, a fight to the death!" The Fourth Elder narrowed his eyes. "The Dragon Kingdom has no more retreats, and there is no need to retreat further!"
"How about this! We each take a step back!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said. "Medicine King Valley will send 15 Grandmasters to the Outer Domain battlefield! To help the experts of the Dragon Kingdom resist the foreign enemies!"
"At this critical juncture, you are still haggling?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "It's even more embarrassing to spread this. The dignified Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, are you really so small-minded?"
"Little brother, you jest. These more than 10 Grandmasters are already the pillars of Medicine King Valley!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said with a pained expression.
"30 Grandmasters, and three Battle Spirit experts!" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "Neither of these numbers can be less, otherwise, it will be mutual destruction. In any case, we are all destined to die!" Sudan Novel Network
Following these words, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley's face turned ashen. "Didn't you say 30 Grandmasters? How did three Battle Spirit experts get added?"
"If Medicine King Valley does not agree, then what we will demand will be Battle King experts!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "As the saying goes, when faced with death, one finds life. We have no retreat, would we still fear battle!"
"You are going too far!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said coldly. "If you wish to attack Medicine King Valley, the other two major powers will never agree!"
