"What, do you wish to seize the Dragon Lord position?"
The North Sea Dragon Lord narrowed his eyes, gazing at the person before him with a chilling intent.
"You speak the truth. I originally paid no mind to the North Sea Dragon Lord position, but now, it seems you are utterly unworthy to sit in it!" Xue Long stated directly. "Therefore, if you willingly cede the North Sea Dragon Lord position today, I will not hold you accountable. However, if you are ignorant of your own limitations and insist on opposing me, I will show you who the true King of the North Sea is!"
"We are all of the dragon race, why must we fall out?" Lin Xuan quickly interjected. "Why not leave it at this! After all, no matter what, things have reached this point and should be discussed properly. Fighting is absolutely out of the question!"
"What is there to discuss? Lin Xuan, stand aside. This matter has nothing to do with you!" The North Sea Dragon Lord's expression was indifferent, and he showed no regard for the person before him.
Faced with these words, Lin Xuan felt a sense of helplessness in his eyes. He had not expected the North Sea Dragon Lord to speak in such a manner. It seemed, just as he had said, that his heart was already filled with unbridled rage.
"King of the Northwest, I accompanied you here today, and I am determined to see this through!" Xue Long declared. "You stand aside and let me have a go at him. Let's see if, after so many years, he has improved at all!"
"Don't you forget, I am your elder brother, and the Dragon Lord of the entire North Sea. What right do you have to speak such words here?" the North Sea Dragon Lord retorted coldly. "Let me tell you, in this North Sea territory, I am the true King. What are you?"
"Whether I am anything or not is not for you to decide!" the North Sea Dragon Lord stated coldly. "You must understand that my actions are not something you can control!"
"Very well, very well, you speak very well!"
The North Sea Dragon Lord nodded slightly, his eyes filled with indifference. "Since that is the case, then let me witness your skills!"
In that instant, Xue Long soared into the air, exuding an boundless aura that appeared terrifyingly formidable. In his eyes, all of this seemed to amount to nothing.
Witnessing this scene, the North Sea Dragon Lord burst into laughter, becoming somewhat carried away. Years ago, he had been defeated by Xue Long, and his heart had harbored deep resentment.
Regardless, he was the Dragon Lord of the North Sea, and being defeated by Lu Fan was a great humiliation. Now, with his cultivation greatly increased, he naturally sought to avenge that past defeat.
Throughout the Dragon Palace, everyone watched with apprehension. Each of them flowed with the blood of the North Sea royal family, and now, they were about to witness another battle. For them, this would undoubtedly be a bloody conflict.
"Senior Xue Long, although this is your personal matter, as the King of the Northwest, how can I stand idly by!"
Lu Fan ascended into the air, his body radiating an aura. At the same time, he looked towards the North Sea Dragon Lord. "My purpose in coming to the North Sea this time is primarily to forge an alliance between the North Sea and the Heavenly Court. You should clearly understand the situation. If you do not do so, your position as Dragon Lord may be in jeopardy!"
"A mere child, and you presume to speak to me?" The North Sea Dragon Lord's expression was cold, and he did not take Lu Fan seriously at all.
Lu Fan's eyes instantly darkened. The North Sea Dragon Lord's words filled him with anger, as the Dragon Lord's pronouncements were simply too arrogant and difficult to accept.
"Although you are the North Sea Dragon Lord, such arrogance and disregard for others, have you considered the consequences!"
His eyes filled with indifference, the North Sea Princess stated directly, "Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to oppose the Heavenly Court!"
"Brother, what should we do?"
With a grave expression, Lin Siyue inquired, her brow furrowed. She had not expected things to escalate to this point; it had completely surpassed her imagination.
"All we can do now is to wait and see!"
Lin Xuan said helplessly, "I truly did not expect things to turn out this way. If I had known, I would not have come here, nor would I have allowed such a situation to arise!"
"But we are here now, and the matter has already happened. Is there truly no other way?"
Lin Siyue spoke, her expression turning grim. The way things had developed had completely exceeded her expectations.
At the same time, the North Sea Dragon Lord's booming voice echoed throughout the North Sea: "Intruders have entered the North Sea! Expel them from the North Sea, and do not let them live!"
Following these words, numerous experts from the North Sea stepped forward, their auras appearing like a surging tide, exuding an unparalleled majesty. Each of them carried a powerful presence.
Witnessing this scene, everyone's expression turned somber. They naturally had not anticipated that things would unfold this way.
Meanwhile, Xue Long looked at the numerous experts of the North Sea. "This is a duel between him and me. You do not need to be involved!"
"This..."
The many experts of the North Sea exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion. They had not expected Xue Long to speak so bluntly, leaving them unsure of how to proceed.
After all, Xue Long's words were not without merit. More importantly, Xue Long possessed the royal bloodline. To oppose him would be to violate the ancestral teachings.
"What are you waiting for!" the North Sea Dragon Lord's expression was cold. "Do you intend to defy my command?"
The numerous experts hesitated for a moment before their gazes shifted to Lu Fan. They dared not act against Xue Long, but Lu Fan was a different matter. Lu Fan was from the Heavenly Court Dynasty, so acting against him was somewhat justifiable.
In that instant, the many experts of the North Sea surged towards Lu Fan, their movements appearing like a surging tide, creating ripples wherever they passed.
At the same time, Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, observing the scene before him with utter indifference. "With just a few of you, I doubt you are my match. Since this North Sea is so uncooperative, I will not hold back!"
In that instant, Lu Fan soared into the air, carrying an invisible force as he charged forward, directly repelling the many North Sea experts.
Throughout the North Sea, there were numerous Martial Emperor level powerhouses, but before Lu Fan, they were utterly insignificant, appearing to have no power of resistance.
Lin Siyue was utterly shocked by what she witnessed. She had never imagined that Lu Fan could be so terrifying. Even Lin Xuan, standing beside her, remained frozen in place, completely baffled.
Lu Fan appeared young, but the strength he displayed was truly formidable.
More importantly, Lu Fan was merely a Martial Emperor level expert. Why could he deal with other Martial Emperors so effortlessly, as if they were mere ants in his eyes?
