"The King of the Northwest is indeed extraordinary, truly making me see him in a new light!"
With a faint smile, the Flame Sect Master looked at Lu Fan, his eyes growing sharper.
"You flatter me!" Lu Fan cupped his fists and stated directly, "I did not wish for this, but I was forced into it. I hope the Flame Sect Master can understand!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Why does the King of the Northwest need to explain? Your strength is superior to mine, and naturally, I am not your opponent. However, in the Flame Sect, it is not just me; there are also the millions of disciples of the Flame Sect. Do you think you can withstand them?"
"Millions of disciples?"
Lu Fan glanced around, a smile playing on his lips. "Are you saying you intend to use these millions of disciples to deal with us?"
"You could say that!"
The Flame Sect Master revealed a cold smile, accompanied by a chilling glint. At this point, he would not hold back at all.
"If that is the case, I'm afraid you've miscalculated!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "With just them, you cannot capture me!"
"I truly didn't expect you to be so confident!"
The Flame Sect Master chuckled coldly. "These are millions of disciples; do you really think you can control them?"
"How will I know if I don't try!"
Lu Fan slowly rose, and at the same time, he summoned a magical artifact. The corners of his mouth tilted upwards, as if everything was under his control.
"What is this!"
The Flame Sect Master frowned, his expression shifting. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so direct, and this magical artifact was no simple item. The aura it exuded was enough to cause shock.
"This is the Haotian Pagoda, possessing boundless power!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "If I activate it, let alone a million disciples, even destroying the entire sect would be effortless!"
Facing Lu Fan's words, the Flame Sect Master's face instantly turned ashen, his eyes filled with a chilling glare. He could never have imagined that Lu Fan possessed such a magical artifact. With this, they had no chance of victory.
"King of the Northwest, you have already injured our Sect Master. Are you planning to show no mercy?" The Great Elder spoke, a hint of displeasure in his heart, yet he was powerless.
"I did not wish for this, but your Flame Sect is so defiant, I can only act this way!" Lu Fan said coldly. "Only by doing so can pressure be applied to your Flame Sect!"
"Everything you have done has already achieved that," the Great Elder stated directly. "Do you still need to say anything?"
Facing these words, Lu Fan smiled slightly. "If the Flame Sect Master is willing to leave with me and accept the investigation of my Northwest King's Mansion, I naturally will not make a move. However, if the Flame Sect insists on resisting to the death, I will never back down!"
Faced with these words, the Flame Sect Master's face turned ashen, but he was also helpless. At this point, the situation was beyond his control. More importantly, Lu Fan's declaration likely meant he had already made all the necessary arrangements.
"Fine, since I am a defeated general, what more is there to say!"
The Flame Sect Master stated directly, "I will go with you, as long as you do not trouble the Flame Sect!"
"That would be for the best!"
Lu Fan nodded and said to the many city lords, "Capture the Flame Sect Master and bring him back to the Northwest King's Mansion!"
The city lords did not hesitate and stepped forward towards the Flame Sect Master, showing no restraint. At this point, the situation had exceeded their expectations.
However, Lu Fan's actions were naturally the best outcome for them.
With even the Flame Sect Master captured, how would the Flame Sect dare to act presumptuously in the future?
His eyes filled with helplessness, the Flame Sect Master could only allow himself to be captured. He understood very well that if he resisted today, the entire Flame Sect would inevitably suffer endless disaster.
"I'd like to see who dares to make a move!"
The Great Elder stepped forward, shielding the Flame Sect Master, his expression sharp. He knew very well that if this matter was not handled properly, it would inevitably lead to immense trouble.
"Stop!"
The Flame Sect Master's voice rang out, carrying a sharp tone. "This is my willing submission. You must not act recklessly here and cause trouble!"
"Sect Master, if you are truly captured by them, your fate will be unknown!"
The Great Elder said urgently, "I cannot allow such a thing to happen!"
"I have already said it; do I need to say more?" The Flame Sect Master's expression was indifferent. He knew very well that Lu Fan's strength was extraordinary. If he truly intended to deal with the Flame Sect, the Flame Sect would be unable to cope. All they could do now was this.
The Great Elder's face was full of grievance, and his heart was filled with unwilling hatred. But alas, at this juncture, he could only swallow his pride.
The elders of the Flame Sect were also very helpless. At this point, the situation was not as they had hoped, but since it had happened, they seemed to have no choice but to endure it.
Meanwhile, the Flame Sect Master was captured by the city lords without resistance. He understood very well that he was now a defeated general and had no capital to resist.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fan nodded slightly and said nothing more. The Flame Sect Master's actions were naturally for the best.
After capturing the Flame Sect Master, Lu Fan ordered his men to leave, without troubling the other members of the Flame Sect. As the saying goes, capturing the king is the key to capturing the bandits. With the Flame Sect Master captured, this matter came to an end.
Watching Lu Fan and his men leave, the people of the Flame Sect were filled with dissatisfaction but were powerless. At this point, the situation had caught them somewhat off guard.
"Great Elder, are we just going to watch the Sect Master be captured like this?"
His eyes filled with unwillingness, several elders spoke out, their anger growing. After all, for them, this matter was no small thing, and such an event had caught them somewhat off guard.
"As the Sect Master was leaving, he secretly transmitted a message asking me to go to the Heavenly Dragon Sect!" the Great Elder said. "It seems only the Heavenly Dragon Sect can suppress him. I truly did not expect a mere King of the Northwest to possess such presence and be so forceful!"
Those present were slightly stunned and said nothing more. If they could truly invite someone from the Heavenly Dragon Sect to take action, it would naturally be the best outcome, as the Heavenly Dragon Sect was no ordinary force.
After leaving the Flame Sect, Lu Fan and his men went directly to Cloud City, not heading to the King's Mansion immediately.
And within Cloud City, Lu Fan looked at the Flame Sect Master and said, "Actually, I'm very curious why you surrendered so readily? Under normal circumstances, even if you were no match for me, you could have escaped on your own! As for the Flame Sect, I naturally wouldn't act rashly!"
