"I see you're not here for the White Dragon Dynasty, but for the sect's interests!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, his expression even more indifferent, as if he had seen through everything.
"If that were the case, why would I have come to persuade you!"
Liu Qianjiao frowned, "I didn't expect you to think this way. It seems I've said too much!"
"Valley Master, there's no need to take it seriously!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "It is imperative to go to the Nine Heavens Dynasty, and nothing will change that for anyone. After this is done, I should be leaving!"
"As the驸马 of the dynasty, where are you going?" Liu Qianjiao asked, not understanding Lu Fan's earlier words.
"There are still many things waiting for me to do, but if the White Dragon Dynasty's matter is not resolved, I will still have doubts!" Lu Fan said directly.
"Are you just acting according to your own personal ideas?"
Liu Qianjiao frowned, "Do you know that one decision can lead to widespread suffering?"
"If the Nine Heavens Dynasty is not eliminated, it will surely return in the future!"
Lu Fan stated, "Prince Shangguan died in the White Dragon Dynasty, and other experts from the Nine Heavens Dynasty died in the White Dragon Dynasty. The two dynasties have no retreat. One must be destroyed, and I don't want it to be the White Dragon Dynasty!"
Liu Qianjiao stood frozen, unable to refute. Lu Fan's words were not without reason. The ongoing war between the two dynasties would undoubtedly lead to countless future conflicts.
"Alright, I don't know if you are right or wrong, but I hope you are right!"
Liu Qianjiao gave a wry smile, "But this matter is not trivial, and I hope you can think it through carefully!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. If he hadn't thought it through, he wouldn't have ordered the Dragon Emperor to do so.
This time, going to the Nine Heavens Dynasty, it was necessary to strike at the heart of the enemy and make the Nine Heavens imperial family pay the price. Only then could the war be resolved, and this was the only way.
After a long while, Lu Fan returned to his room and closed his eyes to rest. The exhaustion of the past few days was even difficult for him to bear.
However, with the White Dragon Dynasty facing such a threat, if it were not resolved in time, the consequences would be endless. That was why Lu Fan planned to press his advantage.
Meanwhile, in a tavern in Tianxian City, Li Guang and others sat drinking, some of them already drunk and disoriented.
"If the驸马 hadn't arrived in time, the White Dragon Dynasty would have been in danger!"
Lin Guoping said, "When you go to the Nine Heavens Dynasty this time, everyone must obey the驸马's orders and not act recklessly!"
"Brother Lin, do we not know what you are saying!"
Li Guang said, "It's just that this trip to the Nine Heavens Dynasty will be a matter of life and death. I wonder if we can return safely!"
"Even if we cannot, it counts as fulfilling our duty to the dynasty!"
Lin Guoping's voice was loud, and he seemed to have gained clarity. After these events, he finally understood the importance of strength.
It was not just for individuals, but also for the dynasty. If a dynasty was weak, it would be bullied.
As their conversation continued, the sky gradually deepened.
In another tavern, several elders of the Divine Dragon Hall sat, feeling somewhat stifled. They had no complaints about reinforcing the White Dragon Dynasty, but they hadn't expected Lu Fan to plan for them to go to the Nine Heavens Dynasty.
"Great Elder, this matter is not trivial. If we really go to the Nine Heavens Dynasty, very few people will be able to return!" the Third Elder said, frowning.
"Do I not know what you are saying!"
The Great Elder said with a wry smile, "Unfortunately, the Lord holds the Divine Dragon Token. How can we not obey the Divine Dragon Token!"
The elders were stunned and fell silent. If that were the case, they really couldn't refuse.
The Divine Dragon Token was an item belonging to the Hall Master, and its being in Lu Fan's hands showed trust in him.
In the room, Lu Fan was meditating when the voice of Hongmeng suddenly sounded, "You brat, where did you get this good stuff? It's actually making my divine sense recover so quickly!"
"Old man, you've finally woken up!"
Lu Fan showed his joy, not expecting the Spirit Gathering Bottle to be so effective.
"If I didn't wake up, you brat would be flying!"
Hongmeng old man rolled his eyes, "I really didn't expect you to be a Venerable now!"
Lu Fan smiled awkwardly, "I only broke through not long ago. You've seen my progress!"
"Amazing, truly amazing!"
Hongmeng old man nodded, and even felt a little pleased. With Lu Fan's power greatly increased, he would soon be able to help him recast his physical body.
A few days later, the White Dragon Dynasty's army crossed the border, with countless figures sending them off from the streets.
This campaign against the Nine Heavens Dynasty seemed to have gained popular support. Perhaps in their hearts, they harbored deep hatred for the Nine Heavens Dynasty.
Among the million soldiers of the White Dragon Dynasty were the relatives of these citizens. Now that they had all died on the battlefield, how could they not be angry.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, when I grow up, I will also be like them and avenge my big brother!"
On the street, an old man held a child. Although the child's words were unclear, everyone understood.
"Did I really make a mistake?"
Liu Qianjiao muttered, her doubts growing.
"Farewell, everyone!"
An old man shouted, "May you return victorious!"
"May you return victorious!"
On the street, many citizens knelt on the ground, filled with sincere blessings.
They knew very well that these people were the protectors of the nation, and few would return from this departure.
But the grievances and hatred of their families and country had to be avenged. Although their hearts were filled with reluctance.
Looking at the kneeling citizens, the Dragon Emperor's expression was complex, and he felt a lump in his throat. As a generation's Dragon Emperor, he was also moved by the scene before him.
"Everyone, please rise. We will definitely return victorious!"
Lu Fan's voice rang out, and he looked at the citizens. At this moment, his heart was also ignited with fighting spirit, as firm as when he had guarded the Dragon Kingdom.
After leaving the city, the army quickly advanced towards the Nine Heavens Dynasty, not daring to delay.
As for the other experts, they all took to the sky, preparing to enter the Nine Heavens Dynasty in advance to gather intelligence.
"Sir, it seems we were wrong!"
In mid-air, the Great Elder said, "We are all citizens of the White Dragon Dynasty. When the White Dragon Dynasty is in trouble, even if we do not receive orders, we should go all out!"
"It is fortunate for the White Dragon Dynasty that you can think this way!"
Lu Fan nodded and smiled, "You must understand now why I want to deal with the Nine Heavens Dynasty!"
"Sir's foresight is for the sake of the dynasty. Our minds were narrow, only for the sect's interests. We have offended you greatly before!" the Great Elder said, cupping his fists.
Today, having been knelt upon by the common people, they felt even more ashamed. The other experts of the Divine Dragon Hall felt the same. In their hearts, a fierce fire had been ignited.
"This time, we will enter the Nine Heavens Dynasty in advance, and everything will be according to my arrangements. Then, we will coordinate with the Dragon Emperor from within and without, and we will surely be able to take down the Nine Heavens Dynasty!" Lu Fan reminded them.
