The three elders appeared indifferent, as if being buried with the Dragon Dynasty was the greatest honor.
Even if they died unnaturally, they held no grudges and paid no heed.
But then, a powerful sword intent surged forth with overwhelming force, directly repelling the black-clothed man.
The three elders slowly opened their eyes and, upon seeing Lu Fan, revealed expressions of joy. "Your Majesty!"
"Are the three elders alright?"
Lu Fan spoke, "I am late! To have allowed you to suffer such grievous injuries."
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? You are not late at all!" The Third Elder smiled. "However, these people are unusual. Your Majesty must proceed with caution."
"Leave them to me!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "I wish to see what methods they truly possess!"
Following Lu Fan's words, the three elders nodded slightly, touched. They were well aware that these individuals were not simple in strength, and Lu Fan might suffer greatly if he acted rashly.
"You are the Lord of the Dragon Dynasty?"
The leading black-clothed man looked at Lu Fan. "You indeed possess some presence, but that is all!"
"And what sect or faction do you belong to?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "To dare provoke the Dragon Dynasty!"
"You are not qualified to know!"
The leading black-clothed man's expression was cold. "Many ancient sects have made their move this time. The Dragon Dynasty's establishment is a pipe dream. I hope you understand!"
"What a joke. What business do you have with the establishment of the Dragon Dynasty?" Lu Fan stood with his hands behind his back. "Are you all not overstepping your bounds?"
"I am kindly reminding you. If you do not believe me, you will surely regret it!"
The leading black-clothed man said coldly, "We may not act, but it is not guaranteed that other ancient sects will not take action themselves!"
After speaking, the black-clothed man signaled to the others, preparing to leave.
Although he was a Battle Emperor, he sensed a dangerous aura from Lu Fan. While he did not wish for the Dragon Dynasty to be established, he was even less willing to take risks, and naturally would not act again.
Watching the departing figures, Lu Fan's expression was calm. He did not take it too seriously. These people were a threat in his eyes, but unfortunately, Lu Fan's strength was not yet truly formidable; otherwise, he would not have allowed these people to act so presumptuously.
After they left, Lu Fan looked at the elders. "You are injured. Return to headquarters to recuperate!"
"Your Majesty need not worry about us!"
The Third Elder waved his hand. "Although we are injured, as elders of the Dragon Kingdom, how can we avoid the grand ceremony of the Dragon Kingdom!"
Facing these words, Lu Fan frowned slightly but found it difficult to refuse. He was well aware of how much these elders valued the grand ceremony of the Dragon Kingdom, and it was not easy to make them leave.
"The West and South Gates are still engaged in battle. I will head there first!"
Lu Fan stated, "The grand ceremony is underway, and no disturbances are to be tolerated!"
The three elders nodded slightly, understanding Lu Fan's words and not daring to be negligent.
After Lu Fan departed, the three elders also stepped into the Dragon Capital. With the matter at the North Gate resolved, they no longer needed to guard there.
At the South Gate, Long Yi was resisting powerful enemies, his face pale. Even with the blessing of national destiny and reaching an extremely high realm, even being able to contend head-on with Battle Emperor level experts.
However, within this South Gate, there were several Battle Emperor level experts, making his expression solemn. If anything went slightly awry, he might be found an opening and be defeated one by one.
"I find you, young lady, to be quite attractive. Why resist so fiercely!"
A middle-aged man sneered. "Why not surrender obediently and return with us to the ancient sects? Your status will be much higher then!"
"What a beautiful thought. Do you think you can do it?"
Long Yi's expression was icy, filled with immense rage. He had never been so underestimated, nor so provoked.
"I am serious," the man spoke again. "I cannot bear to see such a beauty perish."
"If you have the ability, step over my corpse. Do not waste your breath here!" Long Yi said coldly. "The Dragon Dynasty is not to be trifled with."
"What a joke. With just you, you dare to speak such arrogant words?"
Several men sneered and stepped forward again. This time, they held nothing back and moved directly.
"Within my Dragon Kingdom, there are countless strong individuals. It is not just him!"
Lu Fan descended from the sky, the Tai Xu Sword floating behind him, exuding a powerful aura.
With Lu Fan's appearance, the men immediately stopped, looking towards Lu Fan with furrowed brows. "Who are you? I did not expect there to be such a strong individual within the Dragon Kingdom!"
"I am the Lord of the Dragon Kingdom!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "If you wish to prevent the Dragon Kingdom's grand ceremony, you must pass me!"
"Lord of the Dragon Kingdom?"
The men's brows furrowed. "I truly did not expect that such a small Dragon Kingdom could possess individuals who make us wary."
"If we had no abilities, why would we dare to call ourselves a Dynasty!" Su Dan Xiaoshuo Wang
Lu Fan said coldly, "If you all retreat on your own, I will not make things difficult for you. But if you insist on intruding, then do not blame me for being ruthless!"
The men exchanged glances, beginning to hesitate. Lu Fan's aura was formidable, and if they acted rashly, they would gain no advantage.
"Since the Dragon Kingdom possesses such strong individuals, we naturally will not throw ourselves into the fire!"
One of the men said coldly, "But there are many ancient sects. The entire Dragon Capital will be surrounded, and the Dragon Dynasty will not be established!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "I wish to see who has such audacity!"
The faces of several Battle Emperors turned ashen. Lu Fan's demeanor made them even more apprehensive; otherwise, they would have already attacked.
"Let's go!"
The leading man spoke, preparing to lead his men away. Lu Fan's strength was formidable, and acting rashly would be unwise.
"Wait!"
Lu Fan's voice rang out again. "You came to the Dragon Capital targeting the Dragon Dynasty. Since that is the case, you have made an enemy of the Dragon Dynasty. Once the Dragon Dynasty is established, we will settle the score!"
"That's right!" Long Yi spoke. "Do you dare to reveal your names?"
"What a joke. My Eight Extremes Sect holds a position among the ancient sects. Do you think we fear you!"
The leading man said coldly, "We are leaving today only because we do not wish to act rashly. Do you truly believe you are that powerful?"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan inquired again, his killing intent instantly revealed. Today was the day of the grand ceremony, and they did not wish to engage in a massacre, but these people's arrogance had greatly displeased Lu Fan.
