"Only thirty-eight?"
Lu Fan asked in surprise, "Meaning, there are even more terrifying sacred fires?"
"That is natural. There are many sacred fires in this world, and the most powerful ones even possess sentience!" said the ancient Hongmeng old man directly.
"What is the name of the number one sacred fire?" Lu Fan was a little curious.
"You don't need to know that. You are already incredibly lucky to have obtained the White Lotus Sacred Fire. As for the number one sacred fire in legends, it's not something you can covet!" the ancient Hongmeng old man stated directly.
Lu Fan smiled bitterly. As the ancient Hongmeng old man said, it was already very difficult for him to obtain the White Lotus Sacred Fire. As for the legendary number one sacred fire, it was truly beyond his reach.
"After devouring the sacred fire, your strength has greatly increased. If you go out now and encounter the Seventh Elder, you won't need to fear him!" the ancient Hongmeng old man advised.
Lu Fan nodded immediately and stepped towards the outside of the fire domain. He wasn't sure if the Seventh Elder had left. If he had, it would save him the trouble of acting. If he hadn't, Lu Fan wouldn't mind sending the Seventh Elder to his demise.
As soon as he stepped out of the fire domain, Lu Fan surveyed his surroundings. A hearty laugh echoed, "Haha, I knew you brat wouldn't die. Fortunately, I came back!"
"Seventh Elder!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "Why go through all this trouble!"
"Hmph, you killed my disciple, how can I let you go!" The Seventh Elder's expression was icy. He had gone through so much trouble specifically to deal with Lu Fan, so how could he let Lu Fan leave.
"I have already devoured the sacred fire. Seventh Elder, you are no match for me now!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "Leave on your own now, and I won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Ridiculous. I've waited here for several days specifically to take your life. If you want me to leave, you'll have to show me if you have the ability!" The Seventh Elder's expression was frigid.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Lu Fan leaped into the air, his aura instantly surging. Ever since he devoured the White Lotus Sacred Fire, his strength had improved considerably, reaching the peak of the Spirit King realm.
"How is this possible!"
With disbelief in his eyes, the Seventh Elder looked astonished, "Your aura, why is it at the peak of the Spirit King realm!"
"I just said, I am not what I used to be!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, his gaze becoming sharper. The Seventh Elder had repeatedly tried to kill him, so how could Lu Fan easily let him off.
"Hmph, so what if you've reached the peak of the Spirit King realm!"
The Seventh Elder snorted coldly and also leaped into the air. He was in the Half-step Spirit Emperor realm. Although he hadn't reached the true Spirit Emperor realm, he was by no means someone Lu Fan could contend with.
"Ten Thousand Swords Return as One!"
The Seventh Elder shouted, instantly unleashing his trump card. He knew very well that if Lu Fan didn't die today, he would be the one to die in the future.
With Lu Fan's cultivation talent, if he were allowed to leave today, there would be endless trouble in the future.
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, and a white lotus flame appeared on his palm. This white lotus flame looked quite peculiar and emitted a powerful aura. Suda novel network
As the sword qi of ten thousand swords was upon him, Lu Fan unleashed the White Lotus Sacred Fire in his hand.
As the flames surged out, even the air began to burn, and the sword qi unleashed by the Seventh Elder was completely incinerated.
"How is this possible!"
The Seventh Elder was filled with disbelief. As a Half-step Spirit Emperor expert, his trump card being so easily broken was something he could not accept.
Lu Fan glanced at him and said nothing, instead controlling the flame in his hand and instantly rushing towards the Seventh Elder.
This White Lotus Sacred Fire was a heavenly treasure with extremely formidable power. If Lu Fan's strength were not insufficient, its power would likely be even greater.
The Seventh Elder's entire body was burning with spiritual energy. Although he feared the White Lotus Sacred Fire, he firmly believed that Lu Fan was not his match.
At that very moment, the two powerful auras collided once more.
Lu Fan took a slight step back, but the Seventh Elder was instantly turned into nothingness by the White Lotus Sacred Fire, without even a chance to react.
"So strong!"
Lin Ke's voice rang out. He had been worried about Lu Fan, but now he was somewhat astonished.
"Is this the power of the White Lotus Sacred Fire?"
Lu Fan was slightly moved, even he found it somewhat unbelievable.
"Heavenly treasures are naturally powerful!"
The ancient Hongmeng old man reminded him, "However, with your current strength, if you encounter a Spirit Emperor, it probably won't be this easy!"
"Now, a major trouble has finally been resolved!"
Lu Fan let out a long sigh. It had been more than ten days since he left the academy. He wondered if Chu Ting and the others had arrived in Chu City.
After pausing for a moment, Lu Fan mounted his sword and flew towards Chu City.
Meanwhile, in Chu City, Chu Ting and the others had already arrived, casually strolling through Chu City with Long Yi and the others.
"All the industries in Chu City belong to my Chu family. If there's anything you fancy, you can tell me!"
Chu Ting chuckled, "I can give it to you for free!"
"That's too generous!" Long Yi chuckled, "But it's understandable. The entire Chu City belongs to the Chu family, you lack nothing!"
Chu Ting smiled, and a premonition arose within her.
At North Sea Academy, she was suppressed everywhere. Now that she was back on her own territory, she naturally had to be extravagant.
"Chu Ting, I saw Uncle Chu earlier, but I didn't mention the engagement. After we go back, I'll have to report this matter!" Li Ziming said.
"You dare!"
Chu Ting rolled her eyes, "Li Ziming, don't forget, this is Chu City. If I wanted to deal with you, even a hundred lives wouldn't be enough!"
Li Ziming's expression stiffened. He hadn't expected Chu Ting to speak like this, but he was determined to have the two families marry.
Not long after, Chu Ting and the others returned to the Chu family courtyard.
The courtyard was vast, with countless rooms, so Long Yi and the others had no worries about accommodation.
"When the sect leader arrives, I'll take you to see the sights. Not far from Chu City is Purple Gold Mountain, where the scenery is exceptionally beautiful!" Chu Ting said.
"I've heard of it too. It's rumored that Purple Gold Mountain was a sacred place in ancient times, and its scenery is absolutely stunning!"
Han Feng nodded, "I've wanted to see it for a long time, but I never had the chance!"
"Young Lady, the Patriarch requests your presence!"
Butler Wu strode over, his expression solemn.
Chu Ting was a little curious but didn't ask further, heading out directly.
At that moment, in the council hall, the Chu family head sat in the main seat, with a group of elders beside him.
"Father, what is it that you wanted to see me for?" Chu Ting asked.
"Little Ting, now that you're back, don't leave again!" the Chu family head said, "Your old father has arranged a marriage for you. Prepare yourself, and you can get married!"
"I've told you many times, I won't marry into the Li family!"
Chu Ting pouted, showing her displeasure, as she had no good feelings for Li Ziming.
"You misunderstand. It's not the Li family!" the Chu family head stated directly, "It's the second son of the Eighth Prince!"
