"What's going on?"
The Sect Master of the Flame Sect abruptly stood up, his eyes flashing with cold light. He hadn't expected anyone to dare cause trouble within the Flame Sect.
"The King of the Northwest has arrived with a host of city lords, and they are likely prepared!" Elder Five and Elder Six stated frankly. "Sect Master, you must devise a plan to deal with them soon, otherwise, they will never give up!"
"How audacious! This is the Flame Sect, not a place for them to play house!"
Many other elders spoke coldly, with a hint of displeasure. In their view, Lu Fan and his group were being unreasonable and didn't even take the Flame Sect seriously.
After all, it was the Flame Sect's day to recruit disciples. If the many disciples learned that someone had barged into the Flame Sect and was acting so recklessly, how would they be able to maintain their dignity?
"First Elder, personally go and see what's happening!" the Sect Master of the Flame Sect commanded. "If it is indeed the King of the Northwest, then send him away. I don't wish to have much interaction with him. As for the affairs of my Flame Sect, they are not something he can interfere with so easily!"
The First Elder nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with seriousness. Since someone had intruded upon the Flame Sect, he naturally wouldn't let it go. He also wanted to see who this King of the Northwest was.
Meanwhile, within the training grounds of the Flame Sect, Lu Fan and his group halted. This was because a formation had been set up on the training grounds, appearing quite peculiar.
"Don't celebrate too soon. This is the Flame Sect, not a place for you to be!" Elder Seven said coldly. "If you let me go, then it's nothing. But if you dare to do anything to me, the Sect Master will not let you off!"
"You talk too much!"
Liu Ruyan sneered, "You're just a defeated opponent, yet you dare to spout such nonsense here. It's truly eye-opening!"
"You..."
Elder Seven's expression changed, and he was filled with anger. Liu Ruyan's words were like a slap in his face, completely disregarding him. How could he accept this?
"You should stop talking too. You were simply outmatched!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his expression indifferent. Since Elder Seven didn't take him seriously, he saw no need to be polite.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be the King of the Northwest?"
At that very moment, a cold voice rang out. The First Elder of the Flame Sect arrived, his eyes flashing with a cold glint. In their eyes, Lu Fan's actions were indeed quite improper.
"You are correct. I am indeed the King of the Northwest!"
Lu Fan nodded, his gaze even more indifferent. He then stated directly, "Are you the Sect Master of the Flame Sect?"
"You jest. I am merely the First Elder of the Flame Sect. Our Sect Master is very busy and has no time to meet you!"
The First Elder smiled. "However, the King of the Northwest, newly appointed, has caused such a stir. It's truly perplexing. May I ask your intentions? Are you deliberately making things difficult for my Flame Sect!"
"The actions of the Flame Sect have violated the rules of the Northwest Forbidden Zone!" Lu Fan smiled. "I have come to the Flame Sect today to have a talk with the Sect Master. If the Sect Master is unwilling to talk, I don't mind destroying the Flame Sect!"
"Destroy the Flame Sect?"
The First Elder was slightly taken aback, then immediately smiled. "The King of the Northwest truly has a sense of humor. My Flame Sect has stood for many years in the entire Northwest region, and no one has ever dared to say such a thing. Even as the King of the Northwest, you shouldn't be like this!"
"My words always count!" Lu Fan shrugged. "If you don't believe me, you can try!"
"Do you really think my Flame Sect fears you?" Elder Seven said dismissively, exuding a surge of aura.
Facing these words, Lu Fan's lips curved slightly, and he said coldly, "Your tone is quite bold. Since you are so disbelieving, I will deal with you now!"
At that instant, Lu Fan appeared before Elder Seven, a sharp smile on his lips, a faint smile revealing itself.
"What do you want to do!"
Elder Seven's expression changed, and he began to retreat. He could clearly feel Lu Fan's hostility, which made him feel somewhat apprehensive.
"Why panic? Weren't you quite capable just now!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly, a wicked smile appearing on his lips.
"You..."
Elder Seven's expression shifted, and he quickly shouted towards the First Elder, "Save me!"
Just as the First Elder was about to make a move, Lu Fan waved his hand, directly dismembering Elder Seven's arm.
A scream instantly echoed all around. Everyone looked over, naturally not expecting Lu Fan to be so forceful, showing no hesitation at all.
This was an elder of the Flame Sect. Having a limb crippled meant losing his original value. Even for a Martial Emperor-level expert, his future would be greatly diminished.
The Lord of Cloud City was stunned, his heart filled with immense shock. Even he hadn't expected things to turn out this way, catching him off guard.
At the same time, everyone's expressions became solemn. They could clearly feel that this matter was no trivial affair. Any slight misstep could lead to endless turmoil.
"How dare you commit such violence in my Flame Sect!"
The First Elder's expression turned icy, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan. Elder Seven's arm had just been severed before his eyes, how could he accept this? This was practically a slap in his face.
"I originally wanted to have a good talk with the Flame Sect, but it seems you have no such intention!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "Since that is the case, how can I stand idly by!"
"Do you know that our Flame Sect members are not to be offended by others!" the elders said coldly. "With your actions, you have completely offended the Flame Sect. Have you truly considered the consequences of offending the Flame Sect!"
"Then have you considered the consequences of offending the King of the Northwest?" Liu Ruyan smiled. "This Heavenly Court Dynasty, is it the Heavenly Court Dynasty's, or your Flame Sect's? Your arrogance is truly boundless!"
Following these words, the elders of the Flame Sect turned ashen-faced. Being spoken to like that by Liu Ruyan made them even more displeased.
At the same time, the First Elder said no more, and his figure directly shot into the sky. "Where are the disciples of the Flame Sect? Someone has breached our mountain gate. What should you do?"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The disciples shouted in unison, their momentum unparalleled. Each of them exuded a surge of bloodlust, forcing people to retreat.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, not taking it too seriously. In his eyes, all of this was not worth mentioning.
"My Flame Sect has a million disciples. With just you few, you think you can storm my Flame Sect? Isn't that too far-fetched?"
A smile played on his lips as the First Elder looked at Lu Fan.
