With a roar, Elder Feng's figure exploded outwards, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Lu Fan, with the Haotian Tower suspended above his head, looked on with icy indifference. "You are no match for me, and you will surely die today!"
Elder Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, his face paling. He had cultivated for so many years, only to never imagine he would be defeated in such a manner. If he hadn't been severely injured in Snowfall City, he wouldn't be in this predicament.
A smile played on Lu Fan's lips. In a flash, he surged outwards with a powerful aura.
In the blink of an eye, Elder Feng suddenly knelt. "Spare me! No matter what conditions you have, I will satisfy them. Just let me go!"
As he spoke these words, Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "You attacked me first. Now you want me to let you go? I'm afraid that's not quite appropriate!"
"It was all my fault before. As long as you spare me, I will repay you in the future!"
Elder Feng said repeatedly, "Being able to receive the repayment of a Heavenly Lord of the Sixth Realm is not a loss for you!"
"You are correct. A Heavenly Lord of the Sixth Realm, such immense power, is indeed tempting!"
Lu Fan's lips curved slightly. "But do you think that will make me let you go?"
Seeing the cold glint in Lu Fan's eyes, Elder Feng's face turned ashen. He knew Lu Fan would kill him today and that he had no power to resist.
"Actually, if you truly wish to live, it's not entirely impossible!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "As long as you hand over your vital essence, and obey me from now on, I can spare your life!"
As these words were spoken, Elder Feng's expression shifted. If he handed over his vital essence, he would be controlled by Lu Fan from then on.
Moreover, if Lu Fan were to die, he would perish along with him. It was a matter of immense consequence.
"What, you seem unwilling!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "Since you are unwilling, I naturally won't force you. However, you will also lose your life!"
As he spoke, Lu Fan's aura surged, a sinister smile gracing his lips, as if everything was within his grasp.
"Alas, at this point, there is no other way!"
Elder Feng gave a wry smile, his heart filled with helplessness. If he didn't hand over his vital essence, his life would likely be forfeit. This was the only path left. Sudan Novels Net.
At the same time, Lu Fan also smiled. If he could obtain the vital essence, he would be able to control Elder Feng, which was a great boon to him.
With a Heavenly Lord of the Sixth Realm protecting him, he would have more confidence in the Ancient Desolate World.
Having handed over his vital essence, Elder Feng quickly knelt. "Greetings, my Lord!"
"Rest assured, when I ascend to godhood in the future, I will return your vital essence to you. But for now, you must still obey me!"
Lu Fan stated, his expression growing colder.
Facing these words, Elder Feng quickly nodded, a flicker of hope in his eyes. If that day truly came, he would have been reborn.
Not long after, Lu Fan arrived at Snowfall City, with Elder Feng accompanying him.
Instantly, everyone rose to their feet, naturally not expecting Elder Feng to return to Snowfall City.
"Elder Feng, you have quite the nerve!"
Bai Di's voice was icy. "You escaped, and now you dare to come back? Do you truly think we cannot kill you?"
Elder Feng wore a look of helplessness. He didn't want to be here, but with his vital essence controlled by Lu Fan, he had no choice.
"City Lord Bai Di, he is already my man!"
Lu Fan stated. "He will pose no threat to any of you!"
"Your man?"
The City Lord of Snowfall City was surprised. "You're not old, how could you fancy this old fellow?"
"I..."
Lu Fan was momentarily stunned, finding himself at a loss for words when asked by the City Lord of Snowfall City.
"City Lord of Snowfall City, are you thinking too much?"
City Lord Wushuang chuckled. "Or perhaps you're mistaken!"
The City Lord of Snowfall City blinked, and upon closer inspection, realized Elder Feng's vital essence was gone.
"Good lad, truly formidable!"
The City Lord of Snowfall City laughed heartily. "You actually took his vital essence, so he's bound to listen to you from now on!"
Following these words, Lu Fan nodded slightly, showing no hint of concealment.
It was impossible to hide such a matter, and since he had offended the Holy City, he would inevitably have to face the Four City Lords together. Thus, there was no need to conceal it.
"Having one more Heavenly Lord of the Sixth Realm is a great boon for the Four Cities!"
City Lord Wushuang laughed. "Even if many experts from the Holy City come, we can handle them with ease!"
Everyone else also nodded, their faces filled with joy. This way, their pressure was significantly reduced.
"We have something to discuss with you. May we speak in private?"
The City Lord of Snowfall City looked at Lu Fan, his tone becoming serious.
Lu Fan showed a hint of surprise but said nothing more, stepping towards a spot not far away. "City Lord of Snowfall City, please speak your mind!"
"Experts from the Holy City have been dispatched, and their momentum is likely to be extraordinary this time!"
The City Lord of Snowfall City stated directly. "Therefore, we hope you can lend us a hand!"
"That is natural!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. "Since I am under the protection of Snowfall City, I will act according to Snowfall City's rules."
"Thank you for your cooperation!"
The City Lord of Snowfall City chuckled, a hint of joy on his lips.
Lu Fan himself might not be significant, but his control over the divine artifact made him a great trump card for the Four Cities.
With the divine artifact in place, Snowfall City would not be in such a desperate situation.
After concluding his business, Lu Fan returned to his residence.
In the following days, Lu Fan remained in seclusion, as a major battle was imminent, and he would not let his guard down.
Especially since this battle was of great importance. A single misstep could lead to his demise in the Ancient Desolate World.
This was not what Lu Fan desired. After all, he had come to the Ancient Desolate World to achieve supreme divinity, not to become a stepping stone for others.
During these days, many experts from the Holy City were stirring. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Snowfall City. Around Snowfall City, everyone quickly retreated, their hearts filled with trepidation.
The arrival of supreme experts from the Holy City would undoubtedly bring thunderous might, and this time it would surely cause endless turmoil. It remained to be seen how it would be quelled.
Gazing at the many figures outside Snowfall City, the City Lord of Snowfall City narrowed his eyes. "The Holy City has arrived. The strength of their elders is extraordinary. Everyone, be careful!"
"The Four Cities are not soft persimmons, nor can they be squeezed by anyone who wishes to!"
Bai Di's lips curved slightly as he spoke directly, showing no hint of reservation.
Following these words, everyone nodded and showed a determined expression. As people of the Four Cities, they had always been bullied.
Now that they were rising up in resistance, they would not retreat an inch. Otherwise, how could they live up to their original aspirations?
Not long after, experts such as Candle Dragon appeared before everyone, their demeanor arrogant.
