"I can't worry about that much right now!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "If I don't leave soon, it won't be so easy to leave the Sky Fire Pavilion. There are countless experts within. If I were to refine it in the cave, I would invite disaster upon myself."
As he spoke, the primordial old man nodded slightly. Just as Lu Fan had said, refining the young sacred fire would not be a quick process. The best course of action now was to escape this place as quickly as possible to have any chance of survival.
Meanwhile, in the second heaven, many disciples were in a panic, wondering what kind of formidable individual dared to infiltrate the Sky Fire Pavilion and steal its sacred artifact.
"This is too audacious! Stealing the Green Lotus Sacred Fire, who could such a master be!"
A disciple next to Lin Zhe shouted, his heart filled with excitement. He had been in the Sky Fire Pavilion for so long and had never encountered such an event. This was the first time.
At this very moment, Lin Zhe already had an answer, and his heart was filled with immense shock. He knew Lu Fan's strength was formidable, but he never imagined Lu Fan would dare to steal the Sky Fire Pavilion's sacred artifact. With countless experts within the Sky Fire Pavilion, how could they possibly let Lu Fan leave?
"Such boldness, to dare steal the Green Lotus Sacred Fire."
A hoary voice echoed, and the Pavilion Master of the Sky Fire Pavilion strode forward, hovering in the void. He was an unparalleled master of the present era, standing with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of innate dignity and a touch of ethereal grace.
Lu Fan emerged from the cave and felt a pang of awkwardness upon seeing the many experts before him. He had not yet reached the Spirit Emperor realm, and although he could handle ordinary Spirit Emperors, escaping today would be extremely difficult.
"You old man, you're not going to trick me, are you?" Lu Fan rolled his eyes. "They're making such a commotion right after the Green Lotus Sacred Fire was taken. How am I supposed to get out now?"
"There's nothing I can do, I really can't," the primordial old man said helplessly. "Who knew it would be so fast, and these old fellows are not weak. You boy, be careful. If you slip up, you'll perish here today."
Lu Fan cursed inwardly. He had come to steal the Green Lotus Sacred Fire, and although he had succeeded, escaping now was likely harder than climbing to heaven.
"To do such a thing at such a young age, isn't that something to be ridiculed?"
An elder looked at Lu Fan. "As long as you hand over the Green Lotus Sacred Fire, the Sky Fire Pavilion will grant you a whole corpse!"
"I'll pass on the whole corpse,"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "Actually, I don't have any other intentions. The reason I stole the Green Lotus Sacred Fire is simply that I felt it was just being kept here in the Sky Fire Pavilion, so it might as well be used by me."
"You impudent child, you truly do not put our Sky Fire Pavilion in your eyes!"
The Pavilion Master of the Sky Fire Pavilion said coldly, "You, with such behavior at such a young age, likely have a boundless future. Why do you seek your own death?"
"If one isn't pushed to a dead end, who would take such a risk."
Lu Fan's body soared into the air, attempting to break through the defense of several elders and leave the Sky Fire Pavilion directly. Unfortunately, these elders were all experts of the Spirit Emperor realm, and their attacks left no room for any openings. Lu Fan, even if he wanted to exploit a loophole, had no such ability.
"It's over, it's completely over!"
Lu Fan's face turned ashen. "Old man, you need to think of a way!"
"Don't worry, as long as the Pavilion Master of the Sky Fire Pavilion doesn't make a move, these people alone might not be able to harm you. You are now in control of two sacred fires," the primordial old man said with a smile.
Lu Fan felt like crying. The Green Lotus Sacred Fire had not yet been refined, and he couldn't control it at will. If he suffered a backlash at this moment, it would be even more troublesome.
"Elders, after you capture him, do not harm his life," the Pavilion Master of the Sky Fire Pavilion instructed. "I want to see which powerful force is behind the person who infiltrated the Sky Fire Pavilion alone."
"Your subordinates obey!"
The many experts of the Sky Fire Pavilion nodded and moved towards Lu Fan. At that moment, Lu Fan also surged forward, his body shooting up into the sky. In his hands, two sacred fires erupted—one was the White Lotus Sacred Fire, and the other was the Green Lotus Sacred Fire, appearing extremely terrifying.
Witnessing this scene, the many disciples of the Sky Fire Pavilion were stunned. Lu Fan, at such a young age, possessed such formidable deterrence, enough to earn their admiration. More importantly, the sacred fires were so potent that even the elders dared not attack rashly, which further shocked them.
The Pavilion Master of the Sky Fire Pavilion stood to the side, his eyes gleaming as he observed the scene.
Lu Fan had not only stolen the Green Lotus Sacred Fire but also possessed the White Lotus Sacred Fire. For him, this was truly a great opportunity.
The elders attacked, but they did not unleash their full power, inadvertently giving Lu Fan an opportunity. Seeing this rare chance, Lu Fan suddenly executed a movement, intending to flee the Sky Fire Pavilion directly.
At that very instant, the Pavilion Master of the Sky Fire Pavilion flicked his finger, and a surge of spiritual power exploded.
Lu Fan's body was violently thrown back, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Before a Spirit Sovereign, he seemed utterly insignificant, unable to even resist.
"Such powerful spiritual energy!"
The primordial old man frowned. He had instigated Lu Fan to steal the Green Lotus Sacred Fire, and he did not want Lu Fan to die here. If the Pavilion Master of the Sky Fire Pavilion truly intended to kill Lu Fan, he would have perished long ago.
"You boy, don't move rashly. Let me possess your body!" the primordial old man said.
Lu Fan offered no resistance. He was already severely injured and on the verge of death. Even an attack from a Spirit Sovereign was beyond his ability to withstand.
At that precise moment, a trace of a deep blue flame surged within Lu Fan's eyes, and his body moved like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from the Sky Fire Pavilion.
Seeing Lu Fan in such a state, everyone showed expressions of shock. Lu Fan had not possessed such strength when he was heavily struck, but now it seemed that was not the case.
The elders did not dare to hesitate and quickly pursued Lu Fan. If Lu Fan escaped, they would have no explanation to give, as this matter was no trifle. Lu Fan had stolen the Green Lotus Sacred Fire, which was a sacred artifact of the Sky Fire Pavilion.
The Pavilion Master of the Sky Fire Pavilion frowned, "No wonder he had such courage. He actually concealed a powerful spiritual consciousness expert!"
At this moment, the many disciples of the Sky Fire Pavilion let out cries of astonishment, clearly not expecting that even with the combined efforts of the elders, they still couldn't stop Lu Fan. It was truly astonishing.
Meanwhile, the disciples in the second heaven also set out and moved towards Lu Fan's location. As disciples of the Sky Fire Pavilion, they naturally would not stand idly by. They were eager to see who this master was who dared to act in such a manner, completely disregarding the Sky Fire Pavilion, otherwise, they wouldn't have stolen its sacred artifact.
The primordial old man, controlling Lu Fan's body, pushed his speed to the limit. He was acutely aware that any slight misstep would lead to their demise.
