The leader of the black-clothed men glanced at the portrait and said coldly, "Offend the Princess, kill without mercy!"
On the streets of Bai Shui City, people dodged them, their hearts filled with fear. These were imperial assassins, specializing in eliminating obstacles for the royal family. Their appearance in Bai Shui City would undoubtedly cause turmoil.
"Not keeping her word, such a princess truly disgraces the dynasty."
Lu Fan said coldly, "However, with just you lot, wanting to intercept me, it won't be that easy."
"You've got quite a lot of nerve!"
The leader said coldly, "Within the Tai Yan Dynasty, there is no one we cannot deal with. Offending the royal family is equivalent to a death sentence!"
Lu Fan said no more, flames surging in his palm. Since the assassins had arrived, there was no escaping them. Now, he wanted to see just how formidable these assassins were, to speak with such arrogance.
"Attack!"
The leader of the black-clothed men spoke with a cold expression to the other experts, not bothering to conceal his intentions.
In that instant, the black-clothed men surged forward, heading towards Lu Fan. As they moved, killing intent permeated the air.
"You court death!"
Lu Fan said coldly, instantly unleashing his flame power. Before the assassins could even get close, they vanished into nothingness, disappearing into the heavens and earth in an instant.
The people of Bai Shui City, witnessing this scene, were plunged into even greater panic. They could never have imagined that Lu Fan, with his own strength, could kill so many imperial experts.
More importantly, these were imperial assassins with extraordinary strength. Lu Fan's casual demeanor was enough to showcase his immense power.
"This..."
Hu Yu stood by, filled with disbelief. Lu Fan had killed the imperial experts in the blink of an eye, a feat unmatched by anyone.
"Let's go!"
Lu Fan said, "Since the royal family has decided to act, they will not stop. We should leave the Tai Yan Dynasty as soon as possible."
Hu Yu nodded gravely, not daring to delay any longer. He knew all too well that the dynasty's royal family was not to be offended, and at this point, the situation was unresolvable.
Just as they left Bai Shui City, Lu Fan suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed ahead. "Since you've come, why not show yourself?"
A graceful figure appeared in the woods in response to Lu Fan's words, surrounded by a faint spiritual aura.
"I truly didn't expect you to possess such cultivation at such a young age," Liuli said with a smile, admiring Lu Fan greatly.
"Are you also here to kill me?" Lu Fan glanced at her, his expression turning cold.
"Not exactly."
Liuli shook her head. "Your pursuit by the royal family has some connection to Shen Ji Mountain. I am here to remind you to leave the Tai Yan Dynasty as soon as possible, to avoid bringing disaster upon yourself!"
"You speak the truth!"
Lu Fan nodded. "But who sent you?"
Liuli paused slightly. "I came of my own accord! After all, this matter originated from Shen Ji Mountain!"
"Then I thank you!"
Lu Fan nodded. "If there's nothing else, we'll be going now!"
"Wait!"
Liuli spoke again. "I divined for you, and there is a mortal danger if you leave Bai Shui City. It's best to head east, and perhaps you can escape this calamity!"
"So, you also divined my presence in Bai Shui City?"
Lu Fan asked with a hint of confusion, looking at Liuli. He had been curious earlier about how Liuli knew he was in Bai Shui City.
"Naturally!"
Liuli nodded. "As the senior disciple of Shen Ji Mountain, I am extremely proficient in the art of divination. Calculating your location is not difficult!" Su Dan Novel Network.
"If what you say is true, and the royal family went to Shen Ji Mountain, wouldn't they also be able to find my location?"
Lu Fan frowned. "In that case, no matter where I am, I would be found by the royal family!"
"Rest assured, Shen Ji Mountain has its principles!"
Liuli shook her head. "We would never calculate someone's location for the royal family, as it would go against the heavenly dao and even invite heavenly tribulation. Not just anyone can withstand that!"
"That's good then!"
Lu Fan nodded, finally feeling at ease. After all, if it were as Liuli said, it would be truly terrifying.
Being able to locate someone's whereabouts, no matter where they were, meant they could be tracked.
After Liuli left, Lu Fan led Hu Yu towards the east. With the royal family targeting them, they could not afford to be careless, or they would become trapped like fish in a barrel.
Not long after, within the imperial palace, Shen Yehong's face turned ashen upon hearing of Lu Fan's escape.
He had dispatched many powerful individuals to deal with Lu Fan, yet Lu Fan's strength was so formidable that even ordinary Venerables could not capture him.
"This person has ruined the Princess's reputation, he absolutely cannot be spared!"
A woman spoke, "Why not let the Tai Yan Sanqing make a move? As long as they act, they will surely be able to capture him!"
"But they are the Emperor's men, how can I request their assistance?"
Shen Yehong frowned, harboring an even greater desire to kill Lu Fan. If Lu Fan lived, he could not find peace.
The divination techniques of Shen Ji Mountain were renowned throughout the world and were never wrong. Now that it had come to this, how could she sit idly by?
"Although the Tai Shang Sanqing obey His Majesty, they are indebted to the Princess. As long as the Princess speaks, they will surely not refuse!" the woman added.
Shen Yehong nodded slightly. At this point, this was the only way to completely deal with Lu Fan.
Some time later, Princess Linglong arrived at a pavilion where an old man was refining pills.
"True Man Xia Qing, are you refining pills alone?"
Shen Yehong approached and asked, "Where are the other two True Men?"
"My two senior brothers are in the side chambers. Princess, what brings you here?"
True Man Xia Qing inquired, showing some surprise. Normally, the Princess would not come here.
"I have a request!"
Shen Yehong stated directly, "I fear I will need the three True Men to act!"
"Princess, speak your mind. We three have received favors from the Princess. As long as the Princess asks, we will do our utmost to fulfill it!"
True Man Xia Qing said directly, showing great respect to the Princess and not daring to overstep.
"Someone has offended me, and I wish to request the three True Men to come out of seclusion!"
Shen Yehong said directly, "As long as he can be dealt with, Ye Hong will owe you a favor in the future!"
As they were talking, the two old men from the side chamber arrived, smiling. "If the Princess personally commands, we will naturally obey. May I ask who the Princess wishes to deal with?"
"I have investigated thoroughly. This person is named Lu Fan, and he comes from a minor dynasty. With the three True Men acting, they will surely be able to resolve him!" Shen Yehong said earnestly.
"For the three of us to act together?"
True Man Shang Qing frowned slightly. "Who is this person, that he possesses such audacity?"
"All the guards I sent out are dead!"
