"The divine path is said to be long, requiring slow progress while sensing the world's power within it!"
The elder in the black robe spoke, "Along the way, corpses will likely be scattered everywhere!"
"Since we have stepped onto the divine path, we naturally cast aside all thoughts of life and death!"
The elder in the white robe said, "We shall follow by the adult's side and assist the adult!"
"You speak well, but aren't you all afraid of death and seeking my protection!"
Lu Fan rolled his eyes, his words utterly blunt as he looked towards the many elders.
Upon hearing this, the elders' faces instantly turned awkward. They had not expected Lu Fan's words to be so direct, without any hint of reservation.
"I want to go back, I want to go home!"
Shouts erupted, and many of the younger generation spoke out, appearing quite panicked.
In their own domains, they might have been considered prodigies, able to suppress others, which fueled their boundless arrogance. However, after entering the divine path this time, they finally felt their powerlessness.
It turned out that in the myriad worlds, there were countless experts, and they were merely a speck of dust among millions, incapable of stirring any ripples.
"Youngsters, this is the divine path. Once the gate of the divine path is closed, returning will be nearly impossible!"
The elder in the black robe scoffed, "Since you chose this path, you must pay the price for your choice!"
The younger generation's eyes were filled with fear and even unwillingness. They wanted to forcefully leave the divine path, only to discover that the path behind them was a void, with no road at all.
"The road ahead is even more perilous. You might be able to cultivate here briefly. If you can break through to a higher level, there might still be a chance!"
Lu Fan said to the many youngsters, then stepped forward. The divine path was long, and anything was possible; of this, everyone had no doubt.
The sounds of battle continued ahead, and bones were scattered everywhere, attracting the attention of many.
Everyone was on guard, walking on the divine path, fearing a surprise attack, and maintaining vigilance.
Some had already formed groups, as this increased their chances of survival.
In various regions of the divine path, skirmishes were ongoing.
After all, those who wished to tread the divine path and reach its true end were one in ten thousand. They did not want anyone competing with them, so clearing out experts on the divine path when necessary was inevitable.
After walking for a while, more than ten figures appeared directly ahead on the divine path. These individuals exuded extremely powerful auras and a vast oppressive aura, blocking the path.
At this moment, many people on the divine path were being stopped, and the reason was unclear.
"What's going on?"
Lu Fan frowned. The sounds of battle had been constant along the way. Those who reached this point were all strong individuals and would not easily make a move. Yet, for some reason, so many figures were present.
"They are collecting spiritual items ahead. To pass through here, you must hand over your treasures. If they deem them worthy, they will let you pass; otherwise, you cannot proceed!" an elder explained.
"Such overbearing behavior!"
Zhao Xiaotian was somewhat angered, feeling helpless against these people.
"There are experts aplenty on the divine path. What kind of power are they, daring to act so openly!" Lu Fan was quite interested.
"There's a rule: experts of the Heavenly Lord realm can pass freely, and they dare not offend them easily. As for others, they must offer bribes with treasures to pass!" a man stated.
As they were conversing, a white-haired elder, with a detached expression, stepped forward without handing over any treasures. The dozens of figures blocking the way did not hinder him at all; instead, they let him pass directly.
This elder was clearly not simple and was likely a Heavenly Lord realm expert, causing everyone to grit their teeth.
"If I recall correctly, they should be from the Dragon God Hall!"
"That's right, they have the mark of the Dragon God Hall. They should be people from the Dragon God Hall, no doubt about it!"
"In the myriad worlds, the name of the Dragon God Hall carries great weight. No wonder they dare to act like this!"
Conversations continued, and everyone discussed the matter. Su Dan Novel Network.
The Dragon God Hall had many Heavenly Lord realm experts. Their actions were naturally meant to display the Dragon God Hall's might.
"Adult, shall we make a move?" the elder in the black robe was eager to try, not holding the experts of the Dragon God Hall in high regard.
"You all go first!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "If they let you pass, do not make a move easily. This is the divine path, after all. It's not good to make too many enemies!"
The elders quickly nodded. Since Lu Fan had spoken, they naturally dared not disobey.
However, given their nature, they would likely have acted directly. Although the Dragon God Hall had Heavenly Lord realm experts, they were of the lowest tier, insignificant in their eyes.
But since Lu Fan had spoken, they could not say much more.
The elder in the black robe and the others stepped forward. A Dragon God Hall elder was about to block them when another elder beside him stopped him: "Although their aura is ordinary, the ancient aura they possess suggests they are old monsters. Do not provoke them easily; let them pass!"
The elder nodded slightly and then stepped aside. He had intended to make a move to stop them, but upon careful sensing, he indeed detected something amiss.
The Dragon God Hall had always been arrogant, but this was the divine path, and they had to assess the situation.
"The divine path belongs to everyone. Why should we exchange our life-bound magical treasures for passage!"
A man, indignant, shouted at the Dragon God Hall members. This person was an Immortal Emperor realm expert, and his heart was filled with dissatisfaction.
After all, this was extremely unfair to them.
"That's right, why should we hand over our life-bound magical treasures!"
The people present shouted in unison, their hearts filled with discontent, even considering joining forces to overcome this obstacle.
Life-bound magical treasures were extremely unusual items for them, even more important than their own lives. How could they part with them so easily?
Boom...
With a loud explosion, the man who had just spoken was violently sent flying, instantly turning into a mist of blood. The scene was quite gruesome.
Witnessing this, the clamoring crowd instantly fell silent, their hearts deeply affected. They had not expected the people of the Dragon God Hall to be so overbearing, which was somewhat unsettling.
"If any of you speak another word, your fate will be the same as that person!"
A Dragon God Hall elder spoke with a slight curl of his lips, exuding an imposing aura.
Following these words, everyone fell silent, but their hearts held a coldness, even a sense of injustice.
