"If they truly head to the Imperial Capital, I fear they will stir up trouble!" Steward Zhao stated directly. "After all, this matter is not trivial. I implore you to reconsider!"
"It matters not. With their capabilities, they are hardly qualified to contend with me!" Long Bei smiled faintly, his gaze even more placid, as if all of this seemed insignificant in his eyes.
"Master of the Mansion, you speak too lightly!"
Steward Zhao shook his head, his expression growing more solemn. He was acutely aware of this matter. A single misstep could even lead to the annihilation of the entire Northwest County Lord's Mansion.
"Enough, enough. You need not say more. I understand some things naturally," Long Bei waved his hand. "However, the Heavenly Soldier Mansion is nothing in my eyes. If the opportunity arises, I wouldn't mind taking action against them!"
Facing these words, Steward Zhao said no more. His expression remained grave, yet he found it difficult to speak directly. After all, this matter was of great importance, and a single misstep could trigger widespread turmoil.
Leaving the Heavenly Soldier Mansion, Lu Fan did not hesitate and headed directly for the Imperial Capital. His eyes held a solemnity; this time, he carried the hopes of the entire Heavenly Soldier Mansion. If he could not resolve this matter, the many heavenly generals of the Heavenly Soldier Mansion would have died in vain. Lu Fan would never allow such a thing to happen.
"Little Fan is indeed clever, knowing to take the roundabout route. This way, even if the people from the Northwest County Lord's Mansion wanted to track us, they would have no opportunity!" Ling'er smiled, her words carrying a certain seriousness.
Facing these words, Lu Fan shook his head. "I always feel that things are not that simple. If I'm not mistaken, we might be attacked!"
"I don't think so!"
Zhao Xue stated directly, "After all, we are taking the small paths. Under normal circumstances, we shouldn't be attacked!"
"Let's hope so! Generally, those who go to the Imperial Capital to file a complaint do not fare well!" Ling'er said lightly, her words devoid of any reservation.
At these words, Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly. If this were truly the case, it would not be good for them.
"In the past, you were the City Lord's daughter and knew many things. I think what you say might be correct," Zhao Xue nodded slightly, her gaze turning towards Ling'er. "However, not everything can be clearly explained!"
Just as they were conversing, Lu Fan's figure abruptly stopped, and he looked around, his eyes filled with vigilance, for he sensed a pressure, a pressure that made him feel somewhat suffocated.
"A Martial Emperor level expert!" Lu Fan muttered, his eyes fluctuating. He could clearly feel the aura of a Martial Emperor level expert, and there was no mistake.
"How is that possible? Could it really be people from the Northwest County Mansion!"
Zhao Xue's expression was serious. She was well aware that this was no child's play. If it were truly people from the Northwest County Mansion, it would not be a small matter; they might even perish here, and this was no joke.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Lu Fan shook his head. "I only sensed one Martial Emperor level expert, which means it shouldn't be people from the Northwest County Mansion, otherwise, it wouldn't have come to this."
Facing these words, Zhao Xue and Ling'er hesitated, becoming somewhat at a loss. If it wasn't people from the Northwest County Mansion, then who could it be? It made one curious.
And at this moment, laughter echoed throughout the space. A man appeared before them, accompanied by many novices, each exuding a powerful aura, appearing exceptionally terrifying.
"This aura, it's so familiar!" Lu Fan muttered. "Could it be people from the Situ family!"
"You brat are indeed not stupid, to know I am from the Situ family!" Patriarch Situ said coldly. "Do you also know that you are about to die, and die miserably."
"If I remember correctly, your son, Situ Jiannan, also died by my hand!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Going by that logic, even if I die, I won't be at a disadvantage!"
At these words, Patriarch Situ's face instantly turned ashen. He had not expected Lu Fan to be so arrogant, even carrying a hint of ferocity.
"You brat, facing death, you still dare to be so defiant!"
Many men spoke, their words laced with dissatisfaction, their gazes fixed on Lu Fan, a faint cold glint surging within them. They were all from Giant Dragon City, how could they stand idly by.
"So what if I face death?"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, not taking it seriously at all. He secretly transmitted a message to Zhao Xue, "You two hurry and leave, don't waste time here. If I'm not mistaken, when people from Giant Dragon City make a move, they will definitely leave no survivors."
"Then what about you!" Zhao Xue frowned. "Why don't I go to the Heavenly Soldier Mansion to ask for help!"
"No need. With their methods, they might not be able to do anything to me!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "You just need to protect yourselves, that's enough. As for me, they can't do anything to me yet!" Su Dan Novel Network
At these words, Zhao Xue was instantly helpless, but she could only follow Lu Fan's instructions. After all, this matter was not trivial; if not handled properly, they might perish.
"You ignorant brat, you think you can protect them?" Patriarch Situ burst into laughter, his tone filled with arrogance, as if everything was within his grasp.
Lu Fan remained unfazed. He knew very well that with the Haotian Tower in his possession, he could definitely contend even against a Martial Emperor level expert. With that, he had no need to be overly cautious.
"City Lord, allow me to take his dog head!" A man stepped forward, his eyes carrying a cold glint. In his eyes, Lu Fan was merely fish on a chopping block.
"Good, then you shall be the one to capture him!"
Patriarch Situ nodded slightly, narrowing his eyes as if all of this was insignificant in his view.
The man immediately stepped forward. He was Patriarch Situ's cousin and also a Half-Emperor level expert. Now that it had come to this, he would not let Lu Fan off easily, as he could not miss such a good opportunity to show off.
Just as it was almost too late, the Half-Emperor expert approached Lu Fan, intending to capture him directly, showing no restraint and exuding a sharp aura.
The other people from Giant Dragon City watched as if it were a show, their expressions quite meaningful, as if they did not take this matter seriously at all.
Perhaps, in their eyes, Lu Fan was bound to die, and no one could change this outcome. This was an inevitable destiny.
