The owner brought a bowl of spring silk noodles and smiled, "Little brother, you're not from around here, are you?"
Lu Fan's brow furrowed, "How did you know?"
"People speak differently everywhere. Your speech, little brother, is something I've never heard before!" the owner chuckled.
"I am indeed not from this city!" Lu Fan smiled faintly. He hadn't expected that his speech alone could be detected.
If there were other experts from the Cang Qiong Kingdom in this noodle shop, it would be troublesome.
"Little brother, go back early after you finish your noodles!" the owner advised, "We just received news that the City Lord of the capital has been killed. We don't know who did it!"
"How is that possible!" Lu Fan chuckled, "The City Lord's strength is immense, how could he be killed? Where did you get this news, owner?"
"Naturally, it's inside information!"
The noodle shop owner chuckled, "Don't look at me, this is just a noodle shop, but I'm quite well-informed!"
"I really couldn't tell!" Lu Fan gave an embarrassed smile. If the noodle shop owner knew that he was the killer, he wondered what he would think.
As they were talking, a group of experts galloped down the main road of the capital, causing many people to watch, wondering what had happened.
Seeing this scene, the noodle shop owner said again, "It looks like headquarters has been alerted. The capital city gates will likely be closed soon!"
"The capital city gates are closed?" Lu Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Where did you get this information, owner?"
"Looking at this scene, it's just like that!" the noodle shop owner said frankly, "Little brother, don't worry about it. Go back early after you finish your noodles. I need to close up early too!"
Lu Fan didn't say much more. After a few bites, he headed towards the outside of the capital city gates. This was the headquarters of the Cang Qiong Kingdom. Lu Fan had killed the City Lord of the capital to create a stir.
This way, it would make the Cang Qiong Kingdom unable to cope and unable to attack other kingdoms.
However, Lu Fan knew that if he were discovered within the capital city, he would likely be in great danger. After all, the Cang Qiong Kingdom had experts like clouds. Being alone in the capital city would be seeking his own death.
Seeing that no one was around, the noodle shop owner began to clear the bowls and chopsticks. However, at that moment, more than ten figures approached from outside, holding a photograph in their hands.
"Boss, have you seen this person?"
The noodle shop owner was slightly stunned, then quickly stepped forward and looked carefully. He then looked confused, "Officer, do you have business with this person?"
"Why so much nonsense? If you've seen him, tell us truthfully!" the man said unhappily, "The City Lord of the capital was killed, and it's related to this person!"
"This..."
The noodle shop owner trembled violently, "He was just eating noodles in the shop, and he didn't have a local accent!"
"Where did he go now?" the man's expression instantly turned unfriendly.
Lu Fan was like a slaughterer in the Cang Qiong Kingdom. As experts of the Cang Qiong Kingdom, they would never allow such a thing to happen.
"It should be towards the city gate!"
The noodle shop owner quickly said, "I really don't know his identity, otherwise I wouldn't have kept silent!"
The group of men ignored him and rushed towards the city gate, simultaneously contacting headquarters: "Traces have been found, heading towards the city gate, requesting reinforcements from all elders!"
The elders of the Cang Qiong Kingdom were overjoyed. Lu Fan had been acting recklessly these past few days. Now that the Grand Elder had given the order, they would not let him go. If they caught him, they would make Lu Fan pay the price.
Inside the capital city gates, as Lu Fan was about to pass through, he noticed more than ten figures flashing in the distance, their bodies radiating powerful auras.
"I never imagined that to catch me, they would dispatch over ten War Emperor experts!"
Lu Fan sneered, his expression filled with coldness. However, this way, it could also tie down the Cang Qiong Kingdom, at least preventing them from sending so many experts to attack other kingdoms.
"Didn't you say he was at the city gate? Why can't I see him?"
The white-haired elder frowned slightly, and the expressions of the other elders also turned cold. They had come here to deal with Lu Fan. If they couldn't find him, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?
"Elders, don't be anxious. Seal the city gates and search the entire city. He won't be able to escape!" the Third Elder said coldly, "With the elders taking action, he must pay the price!"
The other elders nodded one after another, their eyes filled with cold light. They had a killing intent towards Lu Fan.
Looking at the city gates, Lu Fan was somewhat helpless and had to stay within the capital city. After all, if he showed himself, he was not confident that he could break through the blockade of the elders.
In the past few days, Lu Fan's portraits were everywhere in the capital city, causing a stir throughout the city, yet no one had seen Lu Fan.
At the city gates, the elders pondered, their expressions slightly changing, not knowing what to do.
"It's been several days, and that kid still hasn't shown up. Has he already left the Cang Qiong Kingdom?" the white-haired elder said.
"Impossible!"
The Third Elder said coldly, "If he were truly not in the capital city, the other city lords would be in grave danger. However, we haven't received any news in the past few days!"
The other elders also nodded slightly. What the Third Elder said was indeed true.
"All elders, listen to my orders, split up and act!"
The Third Elder said coldly, "Make sure to find him!"
The elders dared not delay and all headed towards various parts of the capital, carrying a strong momentum.
Lu Fan posed a great threat to the Cang Qiong Kingdom, and they were very clear about this.
As the elders dispersed, Lu Fan's figure appeared at the city gate. At this moment, two elders were guarding it, with no other experts.
Lu Fan was direct and headed towards the city gate. This was his only chance. If he missed it, it would be troublesome to leave.
"Who are you? You are not allowed to go out!"
A guard said, casting his gaze towards Lu Fan.
But in an instant, several guards died. The two old men on the city wall were startled and realized it was Lu Fan.
"Good kid, you've finally shown up!"
The green-robed elder narrowed his eyes, "Today, you won't escape!"
"Just the two of you?"
Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders. The two old men before him were only at the second level of the Emperor realm. If they really fought, he could resolve it in an instant.
"What an arrogant kid!"
The white-haired elder's expression was cold, filled with boundless aura, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan.
As Emperor realm experts, and in the capital city of the Cang Qiong Kingdom, Lu Fan's arrogance made them unable to help but be enraged.
"Capture him and hand him over to the Grand Elder!"
The green-robed elder said coldly, and instantly shot towards Lu Fan, carrying boundless momentum. He would not show mercy to Lu Fan.
Sensing this aura, Lu Fan paid no mind. A terrifying aura surged out from within him.
Boom...
A loud crashing sound echoed, and the green-robed elder's figure exploded backward, blood spurting from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with disbelief. They had never imagined that Lu Fan possessed such terrifying power.
