Within a forest in Longdu, countless Grandmasters appeared, each with resolute eyes and a killing aura. As Grandmasters of the Qingyun Sect, they had fought valiantly on the extraterrestrial battlefield, distinguishing them from ordinary Grandmasters.
"Master, should we advance directly on the Xia family!" Han Qiushui asked. "With our current strength, even the Xia family of Longdu is nothing more than a rabble."
"You lead the numerous Grandmasters to the Xia family's doorstep! Surround them," Lu Fan said coldly. "I will go to the hotel first and rescue Xiao Ke!"
"Your disciple obeys!" Han Qiushui quickly cupped his fists, his eyes filled with ferocity. Even Lin Ke was moved. The Xia family of Longdu was truly courting death. Now that the Qingyun Sect had mobilized entirely, they would surely make them pay.
However, at this moment, several figures approached from a distance, led by Han Bing.
"Lord Lu, may I ask what has happened? Why are so many experts from the Qingyun Sect gathered here!"
"What has happened? The Dragon Group likely knows more than I do!" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "If you are here to stop me, don't blame me for not warning you!"
Han Bing's body trembled. He could feel the powerful aura emanating from Lu Fan, laced with killing intent. Today, the Xia family of Longdu was likely to see a river of blood.
"We only found out just now!" Han Bing said awkwardly. "If we had known the Xia family of Longdu was so audacious, the Dragon Group would have intervened long ago."
"Since that is the case, why are you here?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Or were you sent by an elder of the Dragon Country?"
"That's not it. I'm just here to remind Lord Lu," Han Bing said awkwardly. "This is, after all, within the Dragon Country. Do not escalate matters too much, or it may be difficult to resolve later."
"Are you threatening me?" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "Let alone the Dragon Group, even if the elders from the headquarters came, I would not give them this face!"
"Ahem..." Jian Ying coughed from the side. "My Lord, please do not misunderstand! The Dragon Group does not wish to be your enemy."
"If you don't, why are you talking so much?" Han Qiushui interjected. "Just clear the way."
Han Bing was somewhat helpless. He knew very well that nothing he said would be of any use now. The members of the Qingyun Sect were in a state of fury, and the Xia family of Longdu was likely beyond saving.
Seeing the Qingyun Sect members depart, Han Bing and the others also moved towards the Xia family of Longdu at extreme speed. The Dragon Group's duty was to protect the peace of the Dragon Country, which was why, within the Dragon Country, apart from the elders, the Dragon Group held the greatest authority.
The head of the Xia family was enjoying flowers in his courtyard when several figures, like ghosts, appeared within the courtyard.
In the courtyard, several martial arts experts were shocked. They were all guards of the Xia family, but to be able to enter the courtyard so easily under their noses, they were clearly no ordinary individuals.
"Who goes there!" the guards shouted, blocking Han Bing and the others. "How dare you intrude upon the Xia family of Longdu!"
The head of the Xia family frowned and looked towards Han Bing and the others, then shuddered. "Lord Han Bing, what brings you to our Xia family!"
The head of the Xia family was quite terrified. He was close friends with the city lord of Longdu and had seen Han Bing at the city lord's mansion before. Even the city lord treated Han Bing with utmost respect, so how could he dare to be disrespectful.
"The Xia family is truly audacious!" Han Bing's expression was indifferent. "Do you know that your Xia family has committed a monstrous mistake? You will be annihilated soon!"
The head of the Xia family was startled. "What do you mean, sir? Our Xia family is a prominent clan in Longdu, how could we offend the powerful!"
"Your son offended Miss Lin. Do you know who her husband is!" Han Bing said coldly. "Now that your Xia family is facing imminent disaster, you had better fend for yourself!"
After speaking, Han Bing turned to leave. It was inconvenient for him to linger at the Xia family of Longdu, as Lu Fan might be displeased if he saw him. However, the Xia family was a force in Longdu, and their loss might not be beneficial to the Dragon Country.
"Are we just leaving like this?" Jian Ying asked in a deep voice. "In that case, won't the Xia family of Longdu..."
"The boss has already instructed that the Dragon Group should not interfere too much in this matter!" Han Bing stated directly. "Head of the Xia family, if you can find a solution, that would be best!"
The other members of the Dragon Group also looked bitter. In the past, no one within the Dragon Country, except for a few elders, dared to show disrespect to the Dragon Group. But now, the Azure Cloud Sect was something even the Dragon Country feared.
After Han Bing and the others left, the head of the Xia family's face turned ashen. He also had to find the young master Xia. Han Bing coming in person meant this matter was no small affair. If something truly happened to the Xia family, how could he face his ancestors.
Meanwhile, in a hotel in Longdu, the Three Oddities of Longdu were feasting and enjoying themselves, appearing quite pleased. Their mission was to guard Lin Ke and the others, and they were doing so with ease.
However, at this moment, the hotel and its surroundings were surrounded by numerous Grandmasters, attracting quite a crowd. The Three Oddities of Longdu also sensed something was amiss and quickly looked outside. They saw Lu Fan and his group arrive in the hotel lobby, their gazes fixed directly on three elders.
In the entire hotel, only these three possessed powerful auras, and they were likely the guards.
"Where is Xiao Ke!" Lu Fan looked at the three elders.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to us like that?" the third oddity said coldly. "We are from the Xia family."
However, before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind turned him into ashes, leaving him no chance to react. The first and second oddities trembled violently, feeling a chill run down their spines. They stood frozen, daring not to make a move.
"I will ask again, where is Xiao Ke!" Lu Fan's expression was cold. "If you miss a single word, you die!"
"On... on the eighth floor!" the first oddity stammered, his face turning pale. Since becoming a Grandmaster, he had never felt so humiliated. But Lu Fan's aura was enough to make him wary. To destroy a Grandmaster with a single gesture, what kind of strength was this? He had never heard of it, never seen it. After so many years as a Grandmaster, today had finally shattered his perception.
Lu Fan said nothing more and turned towards the 8th floor.
"What about them?" Han Qiushui asked. "Should we send them to the west directly!"
"Arrest them first. The Master has not given the order, so let's not act rashly!" Han Yunhai said.
The first oddity was about to escape when he discovered that there were nearly a hundred Grandmaster auras surrounding the hotel. His face turned as if he had seen a ghost. Just these few people in front of him were enough to give them trouble.
"What, with just the two of you useless Grandmasters, you think you can make a move!" Gu Wen said coldly. "When we were on the extraterrestrial battlefield, we killed more than five Grandmasters!"
"Extraterrestrial battlefield!" The first oddity's face changed again. He now realized that these people were from the extraterrestrial battlefield. No wonder they possessed such terrifying strength. More importantly, the Xia family of Longdu was likely about to face a catastrophe. The people trapped upstairs were probably of great importance, otherwise, how could they possess such an aura.
