"Those who achieve great things are not bound by trivialities!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor sneered, "To gain something, one must pay something!"
"I truly am inferior to you!"
Dragon Emperor mocked, "No wonder you possess such ambition!"
"Of course, you are naturally inferior to me!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor's face was filled with arrogance. He had great aspirations and would not care about such minor matters.
However, as they were conversing, Princess Linglong escorted Prince Shangguan to the city wall.
Everyone present stopped fighting. Upon seeing the scene before them, they became even more worried.
"Father!"
Prince Shangguan looked at the person before him and softly called out, his heart deeply touched. He never expected his father and son to meet on this city wall.
The Nine Heavens Emperor frowned and looked towards Dragon Emperor, "Speak, what are your conditions for releasing my son!"
"The Nine Heavens Dynasty withdraws from the White Dragon Territory and guarantees never to offend again!"
Dragon Emperor stated directly, "Only then can I release him!"
"You know this is impossible!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor's expression was cold. Prince Shangguan was raised by him, and he had deep affection for him. If it weren't for this, why would he care?
"Since that is the case, then there is nothing more to say!"
Dragon Emperor sneered, his expression turning even colder. He had long been displeased with the actions of the Nine Heavens Dynasty. If the Nine Heavens Dynasty insisted on a fight to the death, he would not show any mercy.
"Nine Heavens Emperor, I will give you more time to consider!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "I hope you can consider carefully. If you insist on refusing, Prince Shangguan will surely meet his end today. What will you do then?"
"Hmph, do not threaten me!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor sneered, "Today, it is my son's honor to die for the dynasty!"
With these words, Prince Shangguan trembled. He could never have imagined that his father would be so indifferent to their familial bond.
In the face of power, he seemed to be merely a pawn that could be discarded at any time.
"Father, am I truly your biological son?"
Prince Shangguan spoke, his heart filled with grief and indignation. He had never thought of surviving alone, and had even prepared to die with the nation. However, the words of the Nine Heavens Emperor left him with a mix of emotions.
"My son, the overall situation is paramount!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor said hoarsely, "Father will surely flatten the White Dragon Dynasty!"
"Since that is the case, your son congratulates Father on his success!"
Prince Shangguan bowed slightly, but suddenly blood flowed from his mouth. He then suddenly collapsed.
"What's going on?"
Princess Linglong was startled and at a loss.
"Bit his tongue to commit suicide!" Lu Fan muttered, as if he had already foreseen such an outcome.
"My son!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor was furious. He stomped towards Prince Shangguan's corpse, his voice terrifying.
The others from the Nine Heavens Dynasty were also filled with grief. The dignified prince of a dynasty had unexpectedly died such a tragic death.
"To sacrifice even one's closest kin for power, I am truly enlightened!"
Lu Fan mocked, his words showing no restraint.
"It was you, you killed my son!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor suddenly looked at Lu Fan, his eyes filled with killing intent. If Lu Fan had not arrived, Prince Shangguan would not have been taken out. Now that such a thing had happened, it was all because of Lu Fan.
"You cannot say that. I warned you earlier. If you insisted on your power, Prince Shangguan's life would naturally be forfeit!" Lu Fan stated directly, "Now, do not blame me for this!"
"Hmph, my son is dead, I will make you accompany him!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor snorted coldly, harboring endless killing intent towards Lu Fan. If Lu Fan had not come, Prince Shangguan would not have died such a tragic death, and perhaps there would have been a chance for survival in the end.
Unfortunately, Lu Fan's appearance had changed all of this. He naturally had to place the blame for these crimes on Lu Fan.
"You forced your only son to death, and you still have the nerve to live!"
Princess Linglong taunted, "If it were me, I would have committed suicide long ago!"
"My Lord, please do not listen to his nonsense!"
Tian Sha spoke, his expression filled with seriousness, "Now that the Prince is dead, they must pay the price, so that the Prince can rest in peace!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor stared intently at Lu Fan, his body soaring into the sky. In an instant, tens of thousands of flying swords surged above his head, emitting a terrifying aura.
"Fuma, be careful!"
Dragon Emperor warned. The Nine Heavens Emperor was in a state of rage. If not controlled properly, Lu Fan could be in mortal danger.
Lu Fan did not hesitate and fled, not daring to delay.
Although he now possessed the strength of a Earthly Venerable, he was still no match for a Heavenly Venerable. He would not do anything foolish.
"Trying to escape!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor sneered and instantly charged towards Lu Fan.
"Hmph!"
Dragon Emperor snorted coldly, and the aura around him also erupted. Lu Fan was the Fuma of the dynasty and had made contributions in battle. How could he allow Lu Fan to be harmed?
In an instant, Dragon Emperor and the Nine Heavens Emperor were locked in battle. It was unclear if it was due to mental influence, but the current Nine Heavens Emperor was no match for Dragon Emperor and was constantly retreating.
"Where are the Tian Sha forces, intercept them with all your might!"
Tian Sha said coldly, "As long as the many experts of the White Dragon Dynasty are intercepted, the Nine Heavens Dynasty's victory is within reach!"
The Tian Sha forces nodded in unison, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
Most of the experts of the White Dragon Dynasty had now perished. As for the soldiers, they were like ants in their eyes, not worth mentioning at all.
"Old man, you are already at the end of your tether. The White Dragon Dynasty's fate is sealed!"
Tian Sha said coldly, "Why struggle on when you are so weak!"
"Even if I die, I will not let you step into the dynasty!"
Steward Li's imposing aura was evident, "Although this old man is physically incomplete, my will is not!"
"Well said!"
Tian Sha sneered, "Since that is the case, then I shall send you to the west!"
As soon as the words fell, Tian Sha charged into the sky, still emitting a powerful aura.
He and Steward Li were both Earthly Venerable powerhouses, but Steward Li's strength could not match Tian Sha's. Now, he was confident that he could kill Steward Li with a single blow.
With Steward Li fallen, the strong warriors of the Nine Heavens Dynasty would be like wolves entering a flock of sheep, with no one able to stop them.
"Steward Li, go and rest for a while. Let me deal with him!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes and stood in front of Steward Li. He could not deal with the Nine Heavens Emperor, but he was confident in dealing with Tian Sha.
"Just you?"
Tian Sha's eyes flashed with coldness, and he looked disdainful, as if Lu Fan was nothing in his eyes.
"What, am I not qualified?"
Lu Fan coldly smiled, his expression becoming even more indifferent, "The Nine Heavens Dynasty's invasion is inherently ambitious. Now that they have done such things, I will let you know the pain of being bullied!"
Lu Fan's figure soared into the sky, the power of flames surging in his palm, and his aura instantly climbed.
"Fuma, be careful!"
Steward Li said worriedly. He knew very well that Tian Sha's strength was extraordinary.
