After leaving Tianxian City, Lu Fan did not delay but headed towards Tianhuo Pavilion.
He had made an agreement with several elders of Tianhuo Pavilion to meet in a city near Tianhuo Pavilion if they were separated.
A month had passed since the last incident, and he wondered if they were still there.
If they were joined by the elders of Tianhuo Pavilion, capturing Shenfeng Pavilion this time would be a piece of cake.
Lu Fan's strength had improved considerably, and his combat power was even faintly approaching the realm of a second-grade Lingzun.
With such strength, venturing into Shenfeng Pavilion would not be a problem.
A day later, Lu Fan arrived at the fiery region near Tianhuo Pavilion. Not seeing the elders, he directly entered the city.
After walking a few steps, Lu Fan spread out his spiritual sense, constantly scanning the entire city.
The Pavilion Master of Tianhuo Pavilion was in seclusion in his room. Upon sensing this intrusive power, he was greatly alarmed and hurried to his feet.
The other elders also got up, their expressions growing solemn. "Pavilion Master, could it be a master from the Eighth Prince's Mansion?"
"Don't panic yet!"
The Pavilion Master of Tianhuo Pavilion waved his hand. "Don't reveal your aura. They might not be looking for us!"
The elders nodded slightly, daring not to speak further. They knew very well that if the people from the Eighth Prince's Mansion found out, they would be in big trouble.
Just as they were worrying, Lu Fan arrived at the inn and looked at the elders, smiling. "So you were hiding here. You made it quite difficult for me to find you!"
"My Lord!"
Everyone was shocked and looked towards Lu Fan, their expressions filled with astonishment.
After they separated from Lu Fan in Tianxian City last time, they had predicted that Lu Fan would not survive. They never expected him to return alive.
"Why are you all looking at me so excitedly?"
Lu Fan gave an awkward smile. "Am I not supposed to be alive?"
"It is a blessing for Tianhuo Pavilion that you are alive, my Lord!"
The Pavilion Master of Tianhuo Pavilion cupped his fists, his face beaming with joy.
"I am here today to ask for your help with something!"
Lu Fan got straight to the point, his words solemn.
"My Lord, you don't need to be polite. Just tell us what you need!" the Pavilion Master of Tianhuo Pavilion said repeatedly.
"Old Master Bai's family was captured by Shenfeng Pavilion. I want you to accompany me to challenge Shenfeng Pavilion!" Lu Fan said with a smile.
"Shenfeng Pavilion?"
The Pavilion Master of Tianhuo Pavilion was stunned for a moment before saying, "Tianhuo Pavilion and Shenfeng Pavilion had a feud before, and now that we have offended you, my lord, we will naturally follow you!"
"When do you plan to make a move, my Lord?"
The Pavilion Master of Tianhuo Pavilion chuckled, his expression serious.
"In three days!"
Lu Fan said solemnly, "I have already made arrangements with the Bai family!"
"In three days, we will accompany you, my Lord!"
The Pavilion Master of Tianhuo Pavilion nodded without any hesitation. If they could heavily damage Shenfeng Pavilion this time, it would be for the best.
At the same time, outside Shenxian Valley, a group of uninvited guests arrived, with a vast expanse of dark figures in the sky.
This immediately attracted the attention of many onlookers, who were unsure what was happening.
"I heard these people are all from the Eighth Prince's Mansion! Shenxian Valley is in big trouble this time!"
"Who says not! To dare to oppose the Eighth Prince's Mansion and harbor someone wanted by the Eighth Prince's Mansion, Shenxian Valley has brought great disaster upon themselves!"
"That may not be true. Shenxian Valley is not an ordinary force. Even the Eighth Prince's Mansion might not be able to do anything!"
Conversations continued, and many cultivators watched, some with anticipation. With such a large mobilization by the Eighth Prince's Mansion, they likely wouldn't stop here.
Outside the mountain gate, Baihu and others stood tall, their expressions cold.
"Young Master, is that person really in Shenxian Valley?"
A middle-aged man asked, his expression somewhat solemn.
"Of course!"
Baihu nodded. "I have the information, how could it be wrong!"
"Shenxian Valley holds an extraordinary status. If things go south, do not act rashly!"
Zhuque warned, his expression grave. Even though he knew that, even though he was a Divine Guard of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, he still felt a sense of dread towards Shenxian Valley.
"What, are you scared?"
Baihu said coldly, "You are already so fearful before making a move. I don't know how you became Divine Guards!"
"Please, Young Master, watch your words!"
Qinglong frowned. "Shenxian Valley's power is immense, and Zhuque is correct. Young Master, please do not deliberately stir up trouble!"
"Qinglong, you are the leader of the Four Divine Guards and are highly favored by my father, the Emperor. However, what you just said is very dangerous!"
Baihu said coldly, "Within the White Dragon Dynasty, no one can oppose the imperial family!"
"It was my subordinate's oversight!" Qinglong frowned slightly. Although he did not agree with Baihu's words, he did not dare to refute them lightly.
"If you were to deal with the Valley Master of Shenxian Valley, what percentage of certainty would you have?" Baihu spoke again.
He still remembered the humiliation he suffered at Shenxian Valley last time and would not miss the opportunity if it arose.
"Not even one percent certainty!"
Qinglong shook his head. "Although the Four Divine Guards are powerful, the Valley Master of Shenxian Valley is an elder-generation expert. How easy is it to deal with her!"
"Even you cannot suppress Shenxian Valley?"
Baihu frowned. He had thought that with the Four Divine Guards gathered this time, they would definitely be able to subdue Shenxian Valley, but now it seemed that it was not that simple.
"Young Master, rest assured, Shenxian Valley is harboring someone wanted by the Eighth Prince's Mansion. I believe they will not act recklessly!"
Qinglong said frankly, "Moreover, the Eighth Prince's Mansion has mobilized so many people this time!"
Baihu said nothing, but he was displeased. He had not mobilized so many people this time for these reasons.
Just as they were talking, several women suddenly appeared from within Shenxian Valley, led by Mudan.
"Why have the people from the Eighth Prince's Mansion come to Shenxian Valley?"
"So many experts from our Eighth Prince's Mansion have come, and Shenxian Valley has only sent one female disciple. Does this mean they do not take the Eighth Prince's Mansion seriously?" Baihu said coldly.
"My master has ordered that outsiders are not allowed to step into Shenxian Valley, not even people from the Eighth Prince's Mansion." Mudan said with a smile. "I am just here to deliver a message. As for other matters, I am not very clear."
"What an arrogant tone!" Su Dan Novel Network
Baihu's expression was cold. As the Young Master of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, when had he ever suffered such indignity? Being treated with such disregard, perhaps only in Shenxian Valley would such a scene occur.
"Go back and tell the Valley Master of Shenxian Valley that if he does not hand over the person our Eighth Prince's Mansion wants, we will flatten the entire Shenxian Valley today!" Baihu said coldly.
"My master said that the person the Eighth Prince's Mansion is looking for is not in Shenxian Valley. Young Master Baihu, please return!"
Mudan spoke again, her words filled with solemnity.
"Hmph, it seems that Shenxian Valley truly intends to become an enemy of the Eighth Prince's Mansion!"
Baihu sneered. He had been looking for an excuse, and now that they had delivered themselves to his doorstep, he would not show any mercy.
"If you insist on thinking so, I have nothing to say." Mudan said with a light smile.
