"Xia Han Dong, you are merely a defeated general, how dare you be presumptuous before me?" Lu Fan sneered, "In the battle of Bibo Pond, if it weren't for the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, you would have been beheaded long ago!"
Xia Han Dong's expression changed. With the people from Medicine King Valley present, Lu Fan's exposure of his weakness made him even more displeased.
"Enough, the matter is urgent. Elder Mo, please do not delay!" the Fourth Elder said.
Xia Han Dong was full of dissatisfaction, but he couldn't act out at this moment. He flicked his sleeve and walked directly into Medicine King Valley.
The Fourth Elder and Lu Fan followed. Their visit to Medicine King Valley this time was to request the valley to send experts to support the extraterritorial battlefield. They did not want any delays.
After a while, the group arrived at the council hall of Medicine King Valley. Inside the hall, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley hurriedly stood up, "So it's the Fourth Elder. What a rare guest. I didn't expect the Fourth Elder to visit!"
"Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, I hope you are well!" the Fourth Elder smiled. "The situation on the extraterritorial battlefield is urgent and does not allow for any delay, so I will be direct..." Su Dan Novel Network
"No rush, no rush!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley smiled. "Why are you all standing around? Hurry up and serve tea!"
Several women quickly served tea, while many elders stood by the side with indifferent expressions. They knew very well why the Fourth Elder had come today. They wanted Medicine King Valley to support the extraterritorial battlefield, and they were not that foolish.
The Fourth Elder took a sip of tea and then spoke directly, "The situation on the extraterritorial battlefield is tense. As one of the three major sects, Medicine King Valley should share the burdens of the Dragon Country. If the three major sects send experts, it might alleviate the urgent situation!"
"Fourth Elder, please don't joke!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said with a wry smile. "We, the three major sects, have no relationship with the Dragon Country and will not participate in national wars. It has always been this way. If the Fourth Elder is here now, have you forgotten the rules?"
"Rules are made by people. When the Dragon Country is in trouble, will you stand by and watch?" the Fourth Elder said directly. "Regardless, you are all people of the Dragon Country, and more importantly, sects of the Dragon Country. Everyone has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation, let alone the dignified three major sects!"
"Fourth Elder, you speak too nobly!" Xia Han Dong smiled. "Our sects prioritize their own interests and will never easily send experts. Moreover, with the three great nations joining forces, the Dragon Country is bound to be overthrown. I think Elder need not say more. It's best to leave quickly to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
"Presumptuous!"
The Fourth Elder's expression turned cold. "I am the protector of the Dragon Country. Many experts of the Dragon Country must obey my dispatch. Now that the Dragon Country is at war, and Medicine King Valley says such things, our Dragon Country will not let this go!"
Xia Han Dong was about to retort, but he was glared at by the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley and swallowed his words, not daring to say anything more.
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley smiled, "Fourth Elder, there is no need to be angry. As people of the Dragon Country, how can we not share the burdens of the Dragon Country? It's just that our Medicine King Valley has few experts, so we may not be able to help the Dragon Country!"
"As long as you have this intention, the Dragon Country will be grateful!" the Fourth Elder clasped his fists.
As long as the entire nation was united, it would not be difficult to resist the other three countries.
"Since that is the case, then dispatch my three disciples to the extraterritorial battlefield!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said in a deep voice. "It can be considered an explanation to the Dragon Country. What do you think, Fourth Elder?"
As soon as the words fell, three figures were waiting outside the conference room. They looked quite old, but their aura did not seem strong.
"Three Grandmasters, and they have just reached the Grandmaster realm!" the Fourth Elder sneered instantly. "Sending them to the extraterritorial battlefield to kill people, isn't that sending them to their deaths!"
"Elder, you are mistaken. These three have extraordinary talent and already possess Grandmaster strength. They should be able to achieve something on the extraterritorial battlefield!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said with a serious expression.
"Grandmaster strength does have some use on the extraterritorial battlefield," Lu Fan said with a slight smile. "But are three Grandmasters too few? I heard that each of the three major sects has at least a hundred Grandmasters. With so many experts, is sending only three appropriate?"
"Young Brother Lu is joking. The three major sects do not have a hundred Grandmasters. That is merely hearsay. They are just martial artists who follow the three major sects and deliberately exaggerate," the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley smiled. "May I ask what you two think is a suitable number of experts for Medicine King Valley to send to meet public expectations?"
"I think adding a zero at the end would be about right!" Lu Fan shrugged. "If Medicine King Valley sends 30 Grandmasters, plus the other two powers, they can gather a hundred Grandmasters. These people going to the extraterritorial battlefield can indeed carve out a path!"
"30 Grandmasters?" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley sneered. "Young Brother, you think highly of Medicine King Valley. Are you trying to drain Medicine King Valley's resources?"
"What are you saying!" Xia Han Dong said coldly. "Thirty Grandmasters are the backbone of Medicine King Valley. How can they be sent as cannon fodder!"
"What a joke! Many experts of the Dragon Country are willing to fight bravely on the extraterritorial battlefield to protect the safety of the Dragon Country. Don't they have families and children?" Lu Fan said coldly. "Why is it that when it comes to Medicine King Valley, they become cannon fodder!"
"This is simply sophistry!" Xia Han Dong said coldly. "You are asking for favors from Medicine King Valley, yet you dare to be so arrogant. If Medicine King Valley sends no one, what can you do!"
"Presumptuous!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley exclaimed. "How can you be so rude? These are all distinguished guests!"
The Fourth Elder narrowed his eyes. He could see that the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley was always playing the good cop, but he was fundamentally unwilling to send experts. In this case, his visit to Medicine King Valley was meaningless.
"Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, you are the one in charge!" Lu Fan said with a smile. "What do you think about this matter?"
"To be honest, Medicine King Valley does not have 30 Grandmasters. Being able to send three Grandmasters is already showing considerable courtesy," the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said directly. "Please do not make things difficult for us."
"My Qingyun Sect is not as powerful as the three major sects, yet we have a hundred Grandmasters. How can your Medicine King Valley have less than a hundred!" Lu Fan's expression was icy. "If Medicine King Valley is unwilling to act today, I will smash this mountain gate!"
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley trembled, and the expressions of the other elders were also uncertain. Lu Fan's arrogance, if not for the Fourth Elder's presence, would have likely resulted in him being dismembered.
The Fourth Elder stood by the side and did not stop Lu Fan's words. What Lu Fan said was exactly what he had in mind. Although he was an elder of the Dragon Country, he was quite dissatisfied with Medicine King Valley's actions.
If Medicine King Valley insisted on this, the Fourth Elder would not mind taking action, as this was the only way to resolve the matter.
For so many years, the three major sects had absorbed a large amount of resources from the Dragon Country. In times of crisis for the Dragon Country, they wanted to stand by and watch. How could there be such a good thing in the world.
