Seeing the scene before him, Lu Fan's brows furrowed slightly. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
"Commander, they have sealed their mountain gates. What shall we do?" Bu Qianfan asked, sounding somewhat embarrassed.
"Since that is the case, then we shall break down this mountain gate!" Lu Fan's figure soared into the air, his eyes carrying a sharp glint, as if everything was under his control.
"If it truly comes to this, leaving today will not be an easy task!" Xue Long spoke, sounding somewhat helpless. The sect master of Tianxiang Sect was extremely powerful. If they completely angered him, it would not be easy for the few of them to leave.
"It's fine!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Just now, I sensed that he has not reached the true Heavenly Lord realm. If I fight with all my might, I might be able to defeat him!"
"Has not reached Heavenly Lord?" Bei Mei County Princess asked in confusion. "He is so powerful, why has he not reached Heavenly Lord?"
"Half-step Heavenly Lord, and he already possesses such strength!" Lu Fan shrugged. "As for the true Heavenly Lord realm, it is likely even more terrifying!"
"Half-step Heavenly Lord?" Bei Mei was shocked. Even he found it hard to accept such a fact. Such a powerful individual was merely a half-step Heavenly Lord. How terrifying would a true Heavenly Lord realm expert be?
Thinking of this, Bei Mei County Princess's expression grew somber. Just as she was about to say something, a booming sound echoed. The mountain gate of Tianxiang Sect was instantly shattered by Lu Fan, without any attempt to conceal it.
Seeing this, Bu Qianfan's face turned awkward. If his guess was correct, they might all perish here today.
"You are truly arrogant. Our Sect Master already let you go, yet you dare to destroy our sect!" Miao Xuan appeared, radiating immense fury. If he were the Sect Master, he would have already struck and killed Lu Fan. Unfortunately, his strength was insufficient, and he could only act in this manner.
"If Tianxiang Sect does not form an alliance, I will not leave!" Lu Fan stated directly. "Please convey this message!"
"Are you not afraid of dying here!" Miao Xuan said coldly. "You should be well aware that you are not your Sect Master's match!"
"You are right, I am indeed not his match. But what I want to do, no one can stop!" Lu Fan chuckled. "If he refuses to see me, I will overturn Tianxiang Sect!"
With these words, many disciples of Tianxiang Sect began to speak out, expressing their disbelief. They had never expected Lu Fan to be so direct. This was Tianxiang Sect, and Lu Fan was a defeated general, yet he spoke such words here, as if he didn't take Tianxiang Sect seriously at all.
Meanwhile, in the main hall of Tianxiang Sect, the elders' expressions were grim. They had just learned that Lu Fan and his group had not left, but had instead destroyed the sect's mountain gate, showing no regard for Tianxiang Sect.
"Sect Master, this brat is too arrogant. If we continue to let him act like this, what will become of Tianxiang Sect's reputation!" Miao Yin cupped his fists and said, "Please, Sect Master, strike and kill him outside the sect!"
"Please, Sect Master, strike!" The elders cupped their fists one after another, their expressions solemn. The situation had reached a point where they could no longer tolerate it. At least in their eyes, Tianxiang Sect's authority was inviolable. Lu Fan's actions were an offense to Tianxiang Sect, and how could they stand for it!
"I know what you are all thinking. In fact, I also wish to eliminate him completely!" The Sect Master of Tianxiang Sect said with a wry smile. "But you may not know that he is the commander of the Heavenly Court Dynasty. If I kill him, the Heavenly Court Dynasty will not let this matter rest, and Tianxiang Sect will also be in peril."
"Tianxiang Sect is a super sect, how can it fear the Heavenly Court Dynasty!" Miao Yin spoke again.
"If all the sects joined forces, then we would naturally have nothing to fear from the dynasty. But relying solely on Tianxiang Sect, how could we have such capability!" The Sect Master of Tianxiang Sect shook his head, his expression growing more serious. He seemed to understand this point better than anyone, otherwise, he would not have spoken as he did.
At the same time, everyone could clearly sense the worry in the Sect Master of Tianxiang Sect's heart.
"This is bad, Elder Miao Xuan has been injured!" A disciple rushed to report, his expression grave. The situation had reached a point that was difficult to bear.
"He injured our Tianxiang Sect elder, what great courage he has!" Miao Yin's face turned ashen, filled with immense dissatisfaction. The elders also turned their gazes towards the Sect Master. Only the Sect Master could turn the tide and completely suppress Lu Fan. Apart from him, there was probably no one in the entire Tianxiang Sect who could do it.
The Sect Master of Tianxiang Sect frowned, his eyes becoming sharper. He did not wish to go too far, but now it seemed there was no retreat. Lu Fan's actions had greatly displeased him. This was Tianxiang Sect, not a place for people to run amok. How could the people of Tianxiang Sect accept Lu Fan's behavior.
After a while, the Sect Master of Tianxiang Sect appeared outside the sect. He looked at Lu Fan again, but this time his gaze was even sharper, his eyes extremely piercing. Lu Fan's actions had completely angered him, making him extremely displeased.
"Sect Master of Tianxiang Sect, it has been a long time!" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "What brings you out this time?"
"This is Tianxiang Sect, and you have destroyed Tianxiang Sect's mountain gate! Have you considered the consequences!" The Sect Master of Tianxiang Sect said coldly, a chilling killing intent emanating from him. Lu Fan's actions had thoroughly enraged him.
"I will not consider the consequences. If I truly considered the consequences, I would not be here!" Lu Fan stated directly. "Since the Sect Master refuses to agree to ally with the Heavenly Court Dynasty, I will pursue this relentlessly until death. Unless the entire Tianxiang Sect leaves the territory of the Heavenly Court Dynasty, as the survival of the Heavenly Court Dynasty also has some connection to Tianxiang Sect!"
"You are too wishful thinking. None of this can happen as you imagine!" The Sect Master of Tianxiang Sect sneered. "The reason I didn't act against you before was to avoid embarrassing the Heavenly Court too much. But if you are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and insist on causing trouble within the sect, today will likely be your death day!"
"Is that so?" Lu Fan shrugged slightly. "In that case, I shall wait and see!"
"Sect Master, this person is too arrogant. If we don't teach him a lesson, he will truly think our sect has no one!" Miao Yin said repeatedly, with a cold tone. In his eyes, as long as the Sect Master personally took action, Lu Fan would surely perish without a burial place. He had never doubted this, at least in his opinion, it should be so.
Facing these words, Lu Fan stood tall, completely unfazed, as if everything was insignificant in his eyes. Meanwhile, the Sect Master of Tianxiang Sect soared into the air. "I will give you one more chance. If you want to live, leave now. Otherwise, I will show no mercy!"
