Not long after, Lu Fan arrived at the Azure Dragon Sect. Han Yunhai's arm was injured, seemingly fractured.
"Mr. Lu!"
Han Yunhai quickly rose and cupped his fists towards Lu Fan, but due to his injury, it was somewhat difficult.
"No need for such formalities!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Who exactly was it that managed to injure you?"
"An old enemy from many years ago, he has returned after his training. I suspect he's here to take my life," Han Yunhai said with a bitter smile. "If he hadn't wanted to humiliate me, I likely wouldn't have escaped today."
"Tell me exactly what happened," Lu Fan frowned. "What is that person's strength?"
"His name is Yang Beitian. Years ago, we had a conflict. I severely wounded him, crippling one of his legs," Han Yunhai said helplessly. "I never expected that after so many years, he would return after completing his training, already a peak Great Accomplishment realm martial artist."
As he spoke, Han Yunhai's expression turned serious. He had only recently stepped into the Great Accomplishment realm, but Yang Beitian was already at the peak of Great Accomplishment, and possibly even a legendary Grandmaster.
"Peak Great Accomplishment!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "If he wanted to deal with you, you would have no way to resist. Why did he let you go?"
"I used a taunt, challenging him to a duel to the death by West Lake tomorrow," Han Yunhai stated solemnly. "I know I am no match for him, which is why I thought of you, Mr. Lu. Do you have confidence in dealing with him?"
The other disciples of the Azure Dragon Sect also looked on with curiosity. They knew Lu Fan was capable but had never seen him truly fight. If he could defeat Yang Beitian, his strength would undoubtedly be formidable.
"Since this concerns the Azure Dragon Sect, I cannot stand by idly," Lu Fan said directly. "Tomorrow, by West Lake, I will meet him personally!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
Han Yunhai quickly cupped his fists. "But Yang Beitian is immensely powerful. If you wish to deal with him, Mr. Lu, you must be very careful."
"Rest assured!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Since I have decided to act, I will not fail!"
"With your words, Mr. Lu, I can finally put my mind at ease," Han Yunhai nodded seriously.
He still remembered what had happened today. Yang Beitian's combat strength far exceeded his own. If this enemy was not dealt with, there would likely be endless trouble in the future.
"Your arm is injured and dislocated," Lu Fan glanced at it and then moved beside Han Yunhai. With a slight raise of his hand, he healed Han Yunhai's injury.
"Mr. Lu is truly a divine physician!"
Han Yunhai quickly cupped his fists, adding words of flattery. He had never imagined Lu Fan possessed such skills.
"Tomorrow morning, send someone to pick me up at Sky Mansion Villa!" Lu Fan walked towards the exit. "I will personally resolve this matter for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
Han Yunhai quickly cupped his fists. After Lu Fan left, he turned his gaze to Little White Dragon. "Go invite our Grandmaster again!"
"Master, isn't Mr. Lu capable of handling it?" Little White Dragon asked in surprise. "Is it too much to ask Grandmaster to intervene in this matter?"
"A peak Great Accomplishment martial artist is no ordinary person," Han Yunhai shook his head. "I am doing this as a precaution. With Grandmaster here, I can be at ease."
Little White Dragon nodded and dared not say more, turning to leave.
The next morning, Lu Fan woke up from his sleep. A luxury car had already arrived outside, and Little White Dragon, wearing glasses, was waiting by the car.
Shortly after, Lu Fan got into the car. "You're quite early!"
"Since Mr. Lu is personally intervening, I naturally have to be diligent," Little White Dragon said with a smile. "But regarding West Lake today, does Mr. Lu have confidence?"
"A peak Great Accomplishment martial artist indeed has some ability," Lu Fan nodded with a smile. "But subduing him is not difficult."
"Then I wish Mr. Lu a triumphant return!" Little White Dragon said with a smile.
Inside the pavilion by West Lake, an eight-immortal table was laden with various pastries, and several cups of tea were placed nearby.
"Master, do you have confidence?" Han Yunhai looked at the elder.
The elder was dressed in splendid attire and appeared full of vigor, not like an ordinary person.
"Dealing with juniors is certainly not a problem," Elder Zhou said with a smile. As Han Yunhai's master, his own strength was not weak. Moreover, dealing with juniors was, in his eyes, nothing significant.
"With your words, Master, my heart can finally be put at ease," Han Yunhai said with joy.
Yang Beitian was not someone to be trifled with. If not for his slight stratagem yesterday, he would have likely been beheaded.
As they were conversing, a car drove up. Led by Little White Dragon, Lu Fan approached the pavilion.
This pavilion was called the Octagonal Pavilion, a famous spot by West Lake, where they had agreed to meet today.
"Mr. Lu!"
Han Yunhai quickly rose to welcome Lu Fan, treating him with great courtesy.
Lu Fan nodded and entered the Octagonal Pavilion. The white-haired elder was drinking tea by himself, his eyes filled with arrogance.
As a master of martial arts, he rarely took ordinary people seriously. Although Lu Fan walked with a firm gait, in his eyes, he was just an ordinary person.
"Allow me to introduce my master!" Han Yunhai said with a smile. "His name is Elder Zhou. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I specifically invited him out of seclusion."
"So it is Elder Zhou!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. "It seems you do not trust me."
"Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Lu. Yang Beitian's methods are vicious. Having Master come is to prevent any accidents," Han Yunhai quickly explained.
Lu Fan nodded slightly and didn't say much more. If someone else was going to handle it, it would save him a lot of trouble.
"What, did you invite this young brother too?" Elder Zhou glanced at Lu Fan. "You, as a Great Accomplishment martial artist, have even learned my essence. Are you saying you are not his match?"
"Master, please don't jest. I have only just entered the Great Accomplishment realm, and I am nowhere near Mr. Lu's level," Han Yunhai quickly replied. "Mr. Lu is no ordinary person."
"No matter how extraordinary, his age is still evident," Elder Zhou said softly. "Being so young, inviting him here is simply a waste of time."
"Senior, your words are mistaken. Ambition is not limited by age. Moreover, since I was invited by someone, I will simply go through the motions," Lu Fan said with a smile. "I will have to rely on senior then."
"Naturally!"
Elder Zhou was unapologetic. The iron beads in his hand instantly turned to powder, scattering bit by bit onto the table.
Many people exclaimed in surprise. Those iron beads were no ordinary objects. Being able to crush them into powder with inner energy was enough to showcase Elder Zhou's hand skills.
"It seems Master has not lost his touch from the past," Han Yunhai flattered. "Crushing iron beads barehanded, there are few people in this world who can do this."
Lu Fan remained silent, sitting aside and drinking his tea. Since someone else had come, it saved him effort and worry.
After all, he was never particularly concerned with these matters. Having someone help resolve them now was the best possible outcome.
Elder Zhou glanced at Lu Fan, whose expression was calm, which made him feel a slight displeasure, but he could not say anything more.
