"We shall obey the Queen's command!"
The elders bowed their fists, their eyes growing more solemn.
They had clearly seen Lu Fan's actions that day and understood his strength.
Dealing with Lu Fan now would not be easy and would undoubtedly lead to endless troubles.
Deep within the Elf Forest, the elders had prepared everything, awaiting the Elf Queen to lead her people in a stealthy infiltration. Once they were in position, they could activate the formation and suppress Lu Fan.
Meanwhile, within the imperial palace, the Elf Queen smiled as she approached Lu Fan. "My lord, the spiritual energy in the imperial city is thin. Why don't you accompany me to the Elf Forest? You might be able to absorb more spiritual power there. When Emperor Shenfeng arrives, I will surely inform you!"
"Elf Forest?"
Lu Fan frowned. "What place is that?"
"The Elf Forest is the most primitive place for the elf race, their ancestral home!" Ancestor Yulong interjected. "However, I have heard that the elves' magic in the Elf Forest can be significantly enhanced. Are you leading the lord there with ulterior motives?"
At these words, the Elf Queen gave an awkward smile. "If I truly possessed such abilities, I wouldn't be forced to compromise like this. My lord's strength is something we all know! How could I dare disrespect him!"
"That is true," Ancestor Yulong said calmly. "My lord is not someone ordinary people can contend with. Even the strongest beings in the Ziwei Realm would be no match for him!"
The Elf Queen quickly nodded, appearing fawning. "That's why I said I would never act against my lord. If my lord is unwilling to go, I will naturally not force you. After all, I am only offering my good intentions!"
"Since the Elf Queen has said so, it would be too ungracious of me not to go!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "However, you should know that offending me has no good outcome. If you truly intend to deal with me in the Elf Forest, you must think carefully!"
"We dare not!"
Everyone bowed their fists, their eyes shifting slightly. Lu Fan had spoken thus before they had even made a move, causing them to feel a sense of caution.
Not long after, the Elf Queen had everything prepared and was ready to lead Lu Fan to the Elf Forest. Lu Fan appeared calm, showing no apprehension.
"If I'm not mistaken, there will be unexpected events in the Elf Forest!"
Zhao Xiaotian spoke, "Have you truly thought this through? After all, the elf race is a major race, passed down from ancient times!"
"Are you worried about me?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly. "Don't worry, I'm not as vulnerable as you imagine!"
"I know that, of course!"
Zhao Xiaotian quickly nodded, feeling a sense of helplessness. He knew that no matter what he did, Lu Fan would not take it seriously. In Lu Fan's eyes, there was simply nothing in the entire Ziwei Realm that he cared about.
After a while, Lu Fan arrived at the Elf Forest, a slight smile playing on his lips. He was curious to see what the Elf Queen intended to do, given her meticulous planning.
"My lord, the depths of the Elf Forest are just ahead, where the spiritual energy is most abundant!" the Elf Queen said with a smile. "Please accompany me, and I will surely find a better place for you!"
"The Elf Queen is too concerned about me. I truly must thank you."
Lu Fan smiled faintly, showing no hesitation, and followed the Elf Queen into the depths of the Elf Forest. He appeared completely at ease, as if everything was within his control.
The Elf Queen also smiled. As long as she could lure Lu Fan into the formation, her mission would be considered complete.
At that point, dealing with Lu Fan would not be difficult.
Not far from the Elf Forest, a group of people stood tall. These were all elves, their eyes filled with a heroic spirit. They knew that if Lu Fan was not eliminated, it would be a great trouble for the elf race.
Following the Elf Queen's steps, Lu Fan arrived at the depths of the Elf Forest. Indeed, the spiritual energy here was immense, stirring something within him.
"You really didn't lie to me!"
Lu Fan felt the powerful spiritual energy, a smile tugging at his lips.
"How could I dare lie to you, my lord!"
The Elf Queen quickly offered a fawning smile, her expression solemn. "Even if you gave me ten more lives, I wouldn't dare deceive you!"
"If you dare not, why are there no ambushes around?"
Lu Fan's lips curled into a smile. "I think you are not afraid, but quite daring!"
"Activate the formation!"
The Elf Queen's expression changed, and she quickly shouted to the others, a powerful aura emanating from her.
Upon receiving the order, the others did not dare to delay. They immediately activated the formation, their eyes filled with solemnity. They knew very well that if they could not completely suppress Lu Fan, it would be a great problem for them.
At the same time, everyone could clearly feel the formidable power of the formation. As it activated, the spiritual energy of the entire Elf Dynasty began to surge into it.
"No wonder it's called an ancient formation. This formation is truly peculiar and possesses an unstoppable momentum!"
"Who says it isn't! With such a powerful formation, no one can easily break out. Those who enter will surely perish without a burial place!"
The members of the Elf Dynasty spoke with great regard for the formation, their words devoid of any doubt.
The Elf Queen nodded silently at these words. The formation was indeed terrifying and awe-inspiring. Such a formidable formation was truly moving.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan stood within the formation, a slight smile on his lips. It seemed his guess was correct; the Elf Queen had lured him here only to deal with him.
"Your elf race is indeed very intelligent and very cunning!" Lu Fan said with a smile. "More formidable than I imagined!"
"Rest assured, we are far more formidable than you imagine!"
With a slight upturn of her lips, the Elf Queen stated directly, "This is no ordinary formation, but an ancient killing formation. Even gods entering it would be forcefully suppressed! So don't waste your efforts!"
"It can even kill gods?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly. "Such a terrifying formation, why have I never heard of it?"
"That's because you are ignorant!"
With a cold glint in her eyes, the Elf Queen's gaze was filled with killing intent. Lu Fan was a threat to the elf race, and she would not let it go. She would forcefully suppress him.
There was no doubt about that.
