Zhan Jie de Nan Hai

Chapter 1078 City Rules

"According to your statement, this matter has nothing to do with you?"

Bai Yue smiled faintly, "Do you think we would believe that?"

"If you want to frame someone, you can always find an excuse. Since you want to pin the blame on me, why bother with all this nonsense!"

Lu Fan said coldly, his eyes revealing a faint glint of coldness, and a powerful aura emanated from him, as if he would attack if they disagreed.

If it were before, he might have been apprehensive, but with the old madman present, Lu Fan naturally didn't take them seriously.

After all, in Lu Fan's mind, dealing with these people was no challenge for the old madman.

"Since you refuse to admit it, then do not blame us for being ruthless!"

Bai Yue said coldly, with a hint of anger, "Today, you shall die here!"

Hearing this, Lu Fan burst into laughter, "You have quite a big mouth. Are you planning to make a move in the Holy City? I've heard that there are rules in the Holy City that prohibit large-scale conflicts!"

"Do you think hiding within the Holy City is the safest option?"

Qing Deng immediately laughed, "In the face of a Sacred Land, all rules are useless. Today, you will pay the price you deserve!"

Spiritual energy surged in Qing Deng's palm, and he looked at Lu Fan with disdain. Although he had heard that Lu Fan was not weak before, he now felt that it was nothing special.

Lu Fan stood aside, his gaze calm, as if these matters were insignificant in his eyes. If Qing Deng dared to make a move, he would not retaliate.

He wanted to see if the rules in the Holy City were truly enforced.

"Within the Holy City, the use of force is prohibited. Elder Taishang of Xuanguang Sacred Land, please excuse us!"

Just then, a voice echoed, exceptionally long and drawn-out, startling everyone present. They could sense that this aura even surpassed that of many Elder Taishangs.

Qing Deng frowned. Having spent most of his time in the Sacred Land, he had not heard of the affairs of the Holy City. However, in his heart, the actions of the Sacred Land were not to be interfered with by others.

"This person is an enemy of Xuanguang Sacred Land. Are the people of the Holy City trying to protect him!"

Elder Taishang Bai Yue asked, his gaze appearing indifferent, as if he did not take the people of the Holy City seriously.

"So what if he is an enemy of the Sacred Land?"

Within the Holy City, an old man stepped forward, his eyes carrying a cold glint as he looked at everyone present.

At this moment, many people within the Holy City were observing. They all knew that the rules of the Holy City could not be broken, and for many years, no one had dared to cause trouble in the Sacred Land.

Everyone was well aware of this fact, but this time, it was different.

Although the Holy City was powerful and no one dared to offend it, this time it involved a Sacred Land, and the situation might not be the same as before.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the Lord of the Holy City, Lin Wuya?"

Elder Taishang Shen Hua of Yaochi Sacred Land spoke, looking towards the Lord of the Holy City.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, someone would still know my name!"

Lin Wuya smiled faintly, "Since you already know, why are you still here!"

"Even if we know, you should explain yourself clearly!"

Shen Hua said directly, "This is a matter of the Sacred Land. Senior, why are you making things difficult for us!"

Within the Holy City, many people showed astonishment. Even Lu Fan was somewhat moved. He had not expected that even Elder Taishang Shen Hua would respectfully call him senior, which showed that the person before him was not ordinary.

"It is not that I am making things difficult for you, but you are making things difficult for me!"

Lin Wuya said coldly, "The rules of the Holy City for so many years cannot be broken by just anyone! I believe you should understand this!"

"Senior Lin, we can refrain from taking action. We implore Senior to expel this person from the Assassin Dynasty from the Holy City!"

Elder Bai Yue said with a light smile, "As long as Senior expels him from the Holy City, we will not pursue the matter further and will resolve it outside the city!"

Lin Wuya frowned. For so many years, no one had ever threatened him, but today, the major Sacred Lands were making things difficult for him.

"Senior, according to the rules of the Holy City, I have not violated anything!"

Lu Fan smiled lightly, "Senior, you don't actually intend to expel me, do you!"

"Certainly not!"

Lin Wuya quickly shook his head, "I have said before that anyone who comes to the Holy City is not allowed to make a move. As long as they do not violate the rules of the Holy City, they naturally do not need to leave!"

The Elder Taishangs of the major Sacred Lands turned pale, clearly not expecting the Lord of the Holy City to speak in such a manner.

How could they possibly move against Lu Fan now, which made things even more troublesome for them.

"Senior Lin, this person is someone we intend to apprehend. Does Senior truly intend to harbor him!"

Qing Deng's expression was cold, and he appeared ready to fight at any moment.

"What a joke. I just said that the rules of the Holy City cannot be broken!"

Lin Wuya said directly, his eyes carrying a coldness and a powerful aura.

Qing Deng's face turned ashen, and he was about to forcefully act. Being treated this way, how could he tolerate it.

"Do not act rashly!"

Bai Yue said solemnly, "Some things are not as simple as they appear. Acting rashly might lead to more harm than good."

"Then what do you suggest? This brat is within the Holy City. Are we just going to let him off the hook!"

Qing Deng's face was ashen, filled with displeasure. After all, in his heart, this was absolutely impossible. Their purpose in coming to the Holy City was for Lu Fan, how could they easily let him go.

Bai Yue did not say much, but turned his gaze to the Lord of the Holy City, "Tell me, how do you propose to resolve this matter?"

"Leave the Holy City, and all problems can be resolved!" Lin Wuya said coldly, "If you do not leave, do not blame me for being ruthless!"

"Do you really think we are afraid of you?"

Qing Deng sneered, "You really think highly of yourself. Do you truly believe that within the Holy City, people from the Sacred Lands would not dare to make a move?"

"If you speak in such a manner, I would like to see what means the Xuanguang Sacred Land possesses to have such confidence!"

Lin Wuya said coldly, with a powerful demeanor. He had not paid much attention initially, but Qing Deng's words had naturally angered him, making it impossible for him to swallow his pride.

Qing Deng felt displeased, but Bai Yue held him back, "Don't forget, this is not an ordinary place. If we were to make a move here, it might cause significant inconvenience!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Deng nodded slightly. At this point, it was indeed difficult for him to say more, but he harbored a strong hostility towards the Holy City.

The Lord of the Holy City, Lin Wuya, appeared very indifferent, not taking the matter seriously at all. These were the rules of their Holy City, and the rules could not be broken. He was very clear about this.

Seeing Qing Deng and the others preparing to leave, Lu Fan smiled, appearing even more smug, and did not pay any attention to Qing Deng.
