Gu Long’s heart was shaken. Although Lu Fan didn’t say anything, he could clearly feel that this matter would not be so simple.
How could the dignified City Lord of Zhongzhou, a Grandmaster realm expert with the backing of the Dragon Kingdom, bow to someone so easily?
But since Lu Fan didn’t speak, Gu Long couldn’t ask too many questions. After all, knowing too much might not be a good thing.
After attending to the injuries of the Qingyun Sect members, Lu Fan headed out of the Gu family courtyard, as if he had something to do.
In the woods not far from the courtyard, three figures stood, all looking in Lu Fan’s direction.
“Are you here to demand an explanation?” Lu Fan glanced at them. “The Jiang family are lackeys of the Black Shadow. Eliminating the Jiang family may not even affect the Dragon Kingdom!”
“If Lord Lu says it has no impact, then it has no impact!” Jian Ying said with a laugh. “We are not here to demand an explanation, but to give something to Lord Lu!”
“Something?” Lu Fan was surprised. “I don’t think I lost anything!”
Han Bing didn’t say much and directly threw out a token. “This is a Dragon Group token!”
Lu Fan took the token and felt a slight shock. The token looked ordinary, but it was not light.
“Dragon Group token?”
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean by this?”
“The boss instructed me to hand this token over to you!” Han Bing said directly. “With this Dragon Group token, you can mobilize Dragon Kingdom experts! This token represents the entire Dragon Group!”
“I don’t need it!” Lu Fan rolled his eyes. “I’ve said it before, I won’t join the Dragon Group, nor will I be controlled!”
“Lord Lu might have misunderstood!” Han Bing chuckled. “The boss doesn’t intend to bind you to the Dragon Group, but this token holds significant meaning. Even on the extraterritorial battlefield, with this token, you can mobilize Dragon Kingdom experts!”
“Is that so?” Lu Fan looked at the token in his hand. “Without me joining the Dragon Group, you can easily give me this token?”
“The boss said that Lord Lu is not an ordinary person, and the Dragon Kingdom may not be able to keep you!” Han Bing said directly. “We just hope to befriend Lord Lu!”
“In that case, I will accept this token!”
Lu Fan was straightforward. He figured this token must be extraordinary, otherwise, Han Bing and the others wouldn’t be so serious.
After all, under normal circumstances, Dragon Group members wouldn’t be this solemn and personally deliver a token.
After Lu Fan left, Bei Dou said with dissatisfaction, “Although his strength is not weak, he is only slightly stronger than me. Why does the boss place so much importance on him? He even gave away such a precious item!”
“The boss’s thoughts are not something we can easily fathom!”
Han Bing said directly, “Moreover, I think he has hidden his strength!”
“I think so too!” Jian Ying nodded. “I remember when we were in Chu Zhou, I didn’t realize this kid was so formidable. Now, even if the three of us joined forces, we might not be able to capture him.”
On the way back, Lu Fan looked at the token in his hand with some joy. This token represented the Dragon Group, and no one within the Dragon Kingdom would dare to disrespect it.
Just like with Yang Xingtian before, if Lu Fan had this token, he wouldn’t have needed to make a move; he could have made Yang Xingtian retreat.
After a few days of recuperation at the Gu family, the Qingyun Sect members’ injuries had mostly healed.
Lu Fan originally intended to return to Chu Zhou, but with the Martial Arts Tournament about to begin, he wanted to see who would become the number one on the Martial Arts Heavenly Ranking.
Actually, Lu Fan wasn’t too concerned about the Martial Arts Tournament. With his current strength, becoming the number one on the Martial Arts Heavenly Ranking wasn’t difficult. Su Dan Fiction Network.
The Gu family patriarch’s birthday was in a few days, and Lu Fan couldn’t leave Zhongzhou at this time.
During his stay at the Gu family, Lu Fan found many medicinal ingredients in the Zhongzhou medicinal market and refined a batch of pills.
After receiving the pills, the Qingyun Sect members’ strength improved significantly. They were very grateful for this favor.
“Brother Lu, the old man hasn’t been around these past few days. Has something happened!”
Lu Fan was refining pills when Lin Xiaojia spoke. “Otherwise, why wouldn’t he show up!”
“That old man is very powerful!” Lu Fan chuckled. “With the help of the Dragon Group people, it’s unlikely they can capture him, so you don’t need to worry!”
“In that case, why isn’t he here?”
Lin Xiaojia was surprised. “According to normal circumstances, the old man should have appeared!”
“He’s not necessarily on the same path as us!” Lu Fan shrugged. “He must be off doing something else!”
Lin Xiaojia nodded slightly, feeling a sense of loss. The old man had treated him well, and his departure made him feel regretful.
“Seeing you like this, you must be quite bored!” Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. “After I finish refining pills, I’ll take you out to play!”
“Really?” Lin Xiaojia’s face lit up. He had been practicing cultivation all these days. For Lin Xiaojia’s safety, Lu Fan didn’t allow him to go out alone, making him feel quite stifled.
“Of course, it’s true!” Lu Fan nodded seriously.
“Master, can I accompany you?”
Gu Wen came over with medicinal herbs. “I’m most familiar with Zhongzhou!”
“Do you know where there are fun places?” Lu Fan glanced at him. “If so, why didn’t you say so earlier!”
“I was busy with important matters before and didn’t have time,” Gu Wen said helplessly. “There’s a Death Valley in Zhongzhou, which is especially fun.”
“Why is the name so scary!” Lin Xiaojia frowned. “Will it be particularly terrifying?”
“The scarier, the more fun!” Gu Wen chuckled. “It’s a kind of enjoyment, you’ll know when you go.”
“In that case, let’s go to Death Valley,” Lu Fan said with a smile. “It’s just an amusement park, and it’s just a pretend one.”
Lin Xiaojia nodded slightly. Since Lu Fan had made up his mind, he wouldn’t say more.
A short while later, Lu Fan and a few others set off. Besides the three of them, they also invited Han Qiushui.
These were all young people, and they were quite interested in amusement parks like Death Valley.
Meanwhile, in a deep mountain in Zhongzhou, a middle-aged man knelt in a cave, his eyes filled with tears. “I implore my grand-uncle to come out of seclusion and avenge the Jiang family’s blood feud!”
In the cave, an old man with the air of an immortal sat cross-legged. After listening to the man’s account, he kept his eyes closed, as if in deep meditation.
But suddenly, the old man’s eyes snapped open. His cloudy eyes seemed to penetrate all things, and his aura exuded an imposing presence.
“My Jiang family has stood in Zhongzhou for a hundred years, why were we annihilated?” The white-haired old man’s expression was cold. “What is the realm of the current head of the Jiang family?”
“The current head of the Jiang family has been killed. He was among the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking, a Grandmaster, only one step away from becoming a powerful being.” The middle-aged man said repeatedly. “I risked my life to escape the Jiang family, hoping that my grand-uncle could step forward and suppress the Lu adult from Jiangnan!”
“Where is he now!” The white-haired old man’s expression was cold. He had been in seclusion for nearly a hundred years, and he didn’t even know how old he was.
The middle-aged man had also consulted ancient texts to find this place in Zhongzhou and learn of his grand-uncle’s place of seclusion.
