“Why must everyone think so badly of others!”
The Lord of Wushuang City stated directly, “You didn’t choose when you were first asked to go. Now that you’re saying this, it’s probably not appropriate!”
The ancient sword cultivator immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more. The Lord of Wushuang City had already spoken this way, which was enough to show his anger.
Meanwhile, within the pack of exotic beasts, Lu Fan’s gaze became solemn. He hadn’t expected these exotic beasts to be so terrifying and so difficult to guard against. Even his body bore traces of blood. If he were even slightly careless, he might perish here.
“This cannot continue. I will hold back the exotic beasts; you all should leave quickly!” Zhao Xiaotian said, “This is the only way we have a glimmer of hope!”
“How can that be!” Lu Fan shook his head. “We go together, or we don’t. How can I abandon you? If it were truly like this, that’s not my character!”
“Now is not the time for sweet nothings. Stop wasting your breath!”
Old Ancestor Tianhuo’s face was ashen. The power of flames around him had been greatly depleted. If this continued, they would undoubtedly be overwhelmed by the beast tide. Let alone going to White Emperor City for reinforcements, they might die before even leaving this place.
“It seems I must resort to other methods!”
Lu Fan suddenly produced a pagoda. The aura of this pagoda was also very ordinary, and it was directly used to suppress the numerous exotic beasts.
“This is… a divine artifact!”
Witnessing this scene, Zhao Xiaotian was slightly startled and quite shocked. He hadn’t expected Lu Fan to possess a divine artifact.
“Hurry and leave. My strength isn’t enough to fully unleash its power, and these exotic beasts are also very terrifying!”
Lu Fan reminded him, “We can’t be trapped by it!”
Zhao Xiaotian quickly nodded, not daring to delay in the slightest. He knew very well that even with this divine artifact, Lu Fan might not be able to control everything. If there was even a slight misstep, they would all be lost.
As the aura of the Haotian Pagoda emanated, the numerous exotic beasts instantly halted their advance. Although they were fearless of death, they could sense the pressure of the divine artifact and dared not act rashly.
Having escaped the attacks of the numerous exotic beasts, Lu Fan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, showing joy. With this, they could head to White Emperor City without any further constraints, which was undoubtedly the best outcome for them.
At the same time, these individuals could clearly sense that the exotic beasts in Wushuang City were gradually increasing. It was likely that the formation of Wushuang City would be breached before long, and by then, the people of Wushuang City would also perish.
“I believe the people of Wushuang City have nothing to do with us. Why don’t we change direction and leave this troublesome place directly!” Old Ancestor Tianhuo said, “This way, it won’t be so troublesome!”
“Old man, don’t you have some ulterior motive?” Lu Fan said with a slight smile. “Although we are merely acquaintances with the people of Wushuang City, doing something like this would harm our benevolence!”
“I was just speaking casually. Since you say so, boy, we’ll do as you say!” Old Ancestor Tianhuo shrugged.
“If that’s the case, then we’ll head to White Emperor City!”
Lu Fan stated directly. Although he was unsure of the situation in White Emperor City, the Lord of Wushuang City had asked him to come to White Emperor City, so he must have his reasons.
After a journey, Lu Fan and the others finally arrived at White Emperor City and found that the entire White Emperor City was bustling with activity. Everyone’s aura was not weak; they could be considered top-tier experts.
However, it was understandable. Those who could survive in the Ancient Desolation World could hardly be ordinary individuals.
“This is White Emperor City. In the Ancient Desolation World, White Emperor City has a great reputation because its City Lord is an unparalleled master!”
Zhao Xiaotian said, “I’ve heard that no one can defeat the City Lord of White Emperor City in a single round, so White Emperor City is a place that is highly admired!”
“No one from ancient times until now?”
Lu Fan was somewhat surprised and found it hard to believe. At least in his opinion, although White Emperor City was powerful, it shouldn’t have reached such a level.
“I’m not too sure, but that’s the rumor!”
Zhao Xiaotian spoke again, his expression appearing even more serious.
At the same time, Lu Fan and the others also arrived at White Emperor City. On the city walls of White Emperor City, there were many experts, all exuding a certain presence.
Upon arriving at White Emperor City, Lu Fan went directly towards the City Lord’s mansion without any hesitation. The Lord of Wushuang City had asked him to seek reinforcements from White Emperor City, implying some connection with the City Lord of White Emperor City, otherwise, it wouldn’t be like this.
“How dare you trespass into the White Emperor’s mansion!”
Several experts looked towards Lu Fan with a cold glint in their eyes.
“I am someone sent by the Lord of Wushuang City, and I have come specifically to seek an audience with the City Lord of White Emperor City!” Lu Fan cupped his fists, appearing not overly aggressive.
“People from Wushuang City?”
The few individuals exchanged glances, a hint of surprise in their hearts. “How can you prove you were sent by the Lord of Wushuang City?”
“If you have the City Lord of White Emperor City come forth, I will naturally be able to prove my identity!” Lu Fan’s expression was serious.
After these words, the few men instantly became displeased. “You speak with quite an arrogance. Do you really think you can meet the City Lord of White Emperor City with just a few words? Many people want to see our White Emperor! You’d best stand aside!”
Lu Fan was slightly taken aback. Being spoken to like this, a flicker of anger arose within him. He hadn’t expected these people to be so impolite.
“Wushuang City is currently under attack by exotic beasts and cannot wait!”
Zhao Xiaotian said, “We hope you won’t obstruct us here. If Wushuang City is breached, you will bear the responsibility!”
“How dare you spout such nonsense! We won’t listen to your babbling!” The several men said coldly, “Leave here now, or don’t blame us for being impolite!”
Zhao Xiaotian was enraged and was about to draw his sword, but Lu Fan stopped him. “This is White Emperor City. Fighting here is not advisable!”
“But how can we see the White Emperor if we don’t?” Zhao Xiaotian frowned.
“You have a point!”
Lu Fan nodded, and at the same time, he soared into the sky. “I, a humble individual, have come to White Emperor City to challenge you with my sword. I wonder if the White Emperor is present!”
His mighty voice spread throughout White Emperor City. The people of White Emperor City also looked on, wondering what had happened that someone so audacious would dare to challenge the White Emperor in White Emperor City.
So many years had passed, and no one had ever been so arrogant. This made them very suspicious and bewildered as to who this divine being could be.
“You brat, don’t talk nonsense here. You dare to challenge our White Emperor with your skills!” The several men instantly became displeased.
