"The Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall has offended someone they shouldn't have!" the Zhao family head said coldly. "The esteemed master will personally visit the martial hall tomorrow!"
The Jin Guang Hall Master was surprised. The Zhao family head was a Grandmaster. For him to call someone "esteemed master," that person was likely no ordinary individual.
As the Zhao family head left, the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall members wanted to intercept him but were stopped by the Hall Master.
What happened today was not the Zhao family's doing, but rather a more powerful entity. If that were truly the case, the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall would be in great trouble.
When Tian Hu awoke, the Hall Master asked, "Did you provoke some influential figure? Why did this happen!"
"Master, that person's strength is immense. I merely offended him, and he crippled one of my arms!" Tian Hu said aggrievedly. "Master, you must avenge me!"
The Jin Guang Hall Master showed a bitter expression. If it were just a matter of martial artists, he wouldn't care, but if it involved Grandmasters, how could he not care?
He had been constantly improving over the years and had reached the Grandmaster level. However, if he were to truly contend with a Grandmaster, he would likely still be at a disadvantage.
That night, the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall was on high alert. Everyone stayed awake, unable to sleep peacefully after such an incident.
Tian Hu's arm was crippled, and the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall was on high alert. This matter quickly spread throughout Chu Prefecture.
Many even learned that someone intended to challenge the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall. Su Dan Novel Network.
The next morning, before dawn, Lu Fan, led by many experts from the Zhao family, set out towards the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall.
After a long while, they arrived at the martial hall. Inside, everyone was on high alert, with a murderous aura on each face.
The Jin Guang Hall Master looked at the young man surrounded by the crowd, utterly astonished. He could never have imagined that the young man before him was a Grandmaster.
"This is the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall, not a place you can enter as you please!"
Several disciples blocked Lu Fan and his entourage, seemingly intending to intimidate them.
However, before their words even fell, they were sent flying. Lu Fan moved as if carried by the wind, shocking many present.
"If I'm not mistaken, Tian Hu was injured by you, wasn't he?" the Jin Guang Hall Master said coldly. "You injured someone and then personally came to provoke us. Do you truly believe the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall is easy to bully?"
"If others do not offend me, I will not offend them!" Lu Fan said coldly. "Where is Du Qianqiu?"
The Jin Guang Hall Master was taken aback, and his surprise deepened. "You are looking for my master?"
"Indeed!" Lu Fan said coldly. "If he does not appear today, I will flatten this martial hall and make his disciples and their disciples suffer!"
"What audacious words!" The Jin Guang Hall Master instantly became enraged, and the other disciples were also quite displeased.
Lu Fan had come to the martial hall and was acting so arrogantly, which they could not accept.
"Jin Guang Hall Master, this matter is not something you can resolve!"
The Zhao family head interjected, "If Senior Du comes out, perhaps a reconciliation can be reached!"
"My master has been traveling for many years and has not been here," the Jin Guang Hall Master stated directly. "How can I invite him?"
"If that is the case, then I shall have to destroy the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "After all, only then will he appear!"
"Young man, you shouldn't speak so definitively!" the Jin Guang Hall Master said coldly. "Even if you possess Grandmaster skills, you cannot be so arrogant!"
"Back then, Du Qianqiu plotted to have my entire Lu family annihilated. Wasn't that also arrogant?" Lu Fan said coldly. "If he doesn't appear now, how can the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall remain untouched?"
The Jin Guang Hall Master's expression shifted. Lu Fan's demeanor suggested he was well-prepared.
"Jin Guang Hall Master, we also have some acquaintance. Let me tell you, the person before you is Lord Lu of Jiangnan!" the Zhao family head said directly. "If he wishes to destroy the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall, it would be a matter of moments!"
"Lord Lu of Jiangnan?"
The Jin Guang Hall Master frowned. He had heard of Lord Lu's reputation long ago, but he never expected him to be so young.
Rumor had it that Lord Lu of Jiangnan had fought four Grandmasters consecutively, ultimately killing one. Such a record was incredibly glorious.
"Since you are Lord Lu of Jiangnan, I presume you will also abide by the rules of the martial hall!" the Jin Guang Hall Master said. "If you have come to challenge us, then seven days from now, we shall duel at Qinglong Mountain in Chu Prefecture. If I lose, the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall will disband automatically, how about that?"
"Seven days from now, Qinglong Mountain?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure you want to fight me?"
"I am also at the Grandmaster realm, how could I be afraid!" the Jin Guang Hall Master stated directly. "I would like to see if these rumors are true, and if Lord Lu of Jiangnan possesses such strength!"
"In that case, I shall await your good news!"
After Lu Fan finished speaking, he went outside the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall. Looking at the plaque of the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall, an internal force surged, instantly riddling the plaque with holes.
The people of the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall felt insulted and wanted to act but were powerless.
After Lu Fan left, several disciples asked, "Master, do we have a chance of winning?"
"We are bound to lose this battle!" the Jin Guang Hall Master shook his head. "Lord Lu of Jiangnan, who can fight four Grandmasters at once, his skills are incredibly powerful. How could I be his opponent!"
"If that's the case, why did you agree to it, Master!" a disciple asked in surprise. "This way, the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall will truly be destroyed!"
"If we don't fight, we won't even have seven days!" the Jin Guang Hall Master shook his head. "Within these seven days, send out a message. If we can find my master, we might be able to save the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall!"
The crowd suddenly understood, finally grasping the Hall Master's intentions.
On the carriage, the Zhao family head asked in surprise, "My Lord, why didn't you simply destroy the martial hall but instead accepted the challenge? They are likely intentionally delaying."
"This is the effect I desire!" Lu Fan chuckled. "The target this time is Du Qianqiu. The life and death of the Jin Guang Martial Arts Hall will compel them to search for him with all their might, saving me a lot of trouble."
The Zhao family head felt a little embarrassed and even more worried. Du Qianqiu was a renowned figure from long ago. If he were truly to face Lu Fan, it was uncertain who would be stronger.
"You handled today's matter well!"
Lu Fan looked at the Zhao family head. "I shall give you this pill."
The Zhao family head was stunned and quickly accepted the pill, his hands trembling slightly. "Thank you, my Lord, for the bestowed pill!"
He knew very well that the pills in Lu Fan's possession were not ordinary items, and even for Grandmasters, they had immense effects.
"By the way, are there any medicinal herb markets in Chu Prefecture?" Lu Fan suddenly asked.
"Of course there are!" the Zhao family head quickly nodded. "What medicinal herbs does my Lord need? I will send someone to buy them immediately!"
"The medicinal herbs I need are not ordinary ones!" Lu Fan stated directly. "I will likely need to purchase these medicinal herbs myself."
"Zhao family head, the medicinal herbs the Lord needs are all thousand-year-old herbs. Ordinary people truly wouldn't recognize them," Han Yunhai said directly.
"If that's the case, you should go to Wanbao Street!" the Zhao family head said with a smile. "There are many good things there, and precious medicinal herbs often appear."
Lu Fan nodded slightly. Not long after, he and Han Yunhai arrived at Wanbao Street.
Looking at the dazzling array of items, his heart was somewhat moved.
These items were not simple. Not only were they clearly priced, but the prices were also not cheap. Most importantly, they might not even be genuine.
