“Dad, how did you get here so quickly?” Lin Ke went out to meet him.
“There was no traffic, the train was on time, so it was this time,” Lin Aotian smiled. “Besides, your plan is feasible, and Dad is very much looking forward to it.”
“That’s natural. I’ve been planning for a long time. As long as the Lin family can lend me a hand, Qingyun Group can soar to new heights,” Lin Ke said seriously.
“Even without the Lin family, it wouldn’t have hurt Qingyun Group,” Lin Aotian said directly. “I think you want to help Dad, or the entire Lin clan!”
“We’re all family, why be so clear?” Lin Ke chuckled. “It’s a win-win situation for Qingyun Group to cooperate with the Lin family.”
Lin Aotian nodded slightly, but he was very clear that Qingyun Group could cooperate smoothly with any company, and even earn considerable profits. However, it was not necessarily the case for the Lin Group.
In recent years, the Lin Group had been gradually declining. Lin Ke was probably trying to use this opportunity to help the Lin Group.
“By the way, come in!” Lin Ke said gently. “It’s quite cold outside!”
Lin Aotian nodded slightly and came into the courtyard. After looking around carefully, he said in surprise, “Where is Xiao Fan? Why isn’t he here?”
“He’s gone to do other things!” Lin Ke smiled. “Besides, he has his own path to walk, and it’s not for me to meddle too much!”
“Aren’t you worried at all?” Lin Aotian frowned.
“Maybe I would have been before, but not anymore!” Lin Ke smiled. “I believe in him, he won’t disappoint me, nor will he make me sad. He will be fine!”
Lin Aotian fell silent, and could only sigh in his heart.
Meanwhile, led by Lu Fan, many experts from Qingyun Sect arrived at a mountain peak in the Outer Domain battlefield, gazing into the distance. The area ahead was extremely vast, but there were many mutated wild beasts, which looked quite terrifying.
On the flat ground not far away, a group of experts clashed. In the blink of an eye, a Grandmaster was killed without even having a chance to react.
Witnessing the scene before them, the Grandmasters of Qingyun Sect were all shocked. So this was the Outer Domain battlefield, much more terrifying than within Dragon Country.
“If you are scared, it’s not too late to withdraw now!” Lu Fan looked at everyone. “I won’t blame you or make things difficult for you!”
“As members of Qingyun Sect, we swear to protect you, my lord!”
The people of Qingyun Sect shouted, their expressions serious.
They were willing to follow Lu Fan, even if it meant going through mountains of knives and seas of fire, they would not retreat.
Lu Fan, on the other hand, was observing the terrain ahead, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Not long after, Han Yunhai brought a map. “My lord, it has been confirmed that the closest stronghold to us is the Star Stronghold! This is also one of the weakest strongholds of the Sea Country.”
“In that case, we will take this stronghold today!” Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. “There must be a lot of things inside!”
“Master, we’ve just arrived in the Outer Domain battlefield, and we’re going to attack Sea Country?” Han Qiushui frowned. “Wouldn’t that enrage Sea Country?”
“That’s precisely what we want, to enrage them,” Lu Fan revealed killing intent. “The battle at Baiyun Peak, Elder Shangguan’s fight, all of these things show a complete disregard for Dragon Country.”
The people of Qingyun Sect also showed killing intent. In this Outer Domain battlefield, it was already filled with the smoke of war and a killing aura.
Led by Lu Fan, Lu Fan and his group arrived at the Star Stronghold. However, as soon as they entered within a hundred-mile radius, they were detected by the stronghold.
When Lu Fan and his group reached the stronghold, many experts appeared outside the stronghold’s main hall. The man at the head looked at Lu Fan. “You are from Dragon Country? What audacious courage you have, to dare to trespass into a Sea Country stronghold?”
“Please don’t misunderstand!” Lu Fan shrugged. “It’s not just about trespassing. I want this Star Stronghold! It will be the headquarters of my Qingyun Sect from now on!”
“What a boastful claim!” The man at the head sneered. “Even Dragon Country dares not act rashly. What are you people to dare to put on airs here?”
As soon as the man finished speaking, he was killed by a palm strike from Lu Fan.
Instantly, experts within the stronghold surged forth, charging towards the many experts of Qingyun Sect. However, in the face of Qingyun Sect’s powerful strength, these people were insignificant and were wiped out in an instant.
At the headquarters of the stronghold, two Grandmasters stepped out. “Since you are from Dragon Country, you should abide by the rules. Sea Country and Dragon Country have signed an agreement, and this place belongs to Sea Country’s stronghold!”
“What a joke. This stronghold is in Dragon Country’s territory!” Lu Fan sneered. “When did it become Sea Country’s turn to speak?”
The two Grandmasters’ faces turned ashen. Lu Fan’s words were unacceptable to them.
“This is how Sea Country is. When they have superior strength, they want to talk about rules, but when facing the weak, they always disregard rules!” Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. “Will you be punished yourselves, or shall I do it personally?”
“What an arrogant statement!”
An old man with white hair slowly stepped out, radiating a killing aura. He looked at Lu Fan. “When did Dragon Country produce such an arrogant fellow like you, who dares to come to the Star Stronghold to cause trouble!”
“It’s time for a change here!” Lu Fan said coldly. “If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I might consider sparing your life!”
“What a huge joke!” The white-haired old man said coldly. “As the master of the Star Stronghold, how can I be afraid of you!”
“Can’t you see it yet?” Lu Fan shrugged. “I have a hundred Grandmasters behind me. What do you have behind you?” Su Dan Novel Network
“A hundred Grandmasters?” The white-haired old man frowned, and then looked at the many Grandmasters. Only now did he realize how powerful the fighting force Lu Fan had brought was.
“Old man, don’t struggle in vain!” Han Yunhai said coldly. “This is Lord Lu of Jiangnan, and also Lord Lu of Dragon Country!”
“Lord Lu?” The white-haired old man’s face stiffened. “Are you the Lord Lu who ambushed Elder Shangguan that day?”
“You answered correctly!” Han Qiushui sneered.
