Zi Yue retracted her aura, not making things difficult for him. The man was from the Zi Yue tribe of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and it was normal for him to feel injustice for him.
But Zi Yue knew that Lu Fan was going on an important mission to the country, and his only duty now was to protect Lin Ke well.
In the room, Lin Ke's eyelids were heavy, and his whole body was becoming weak, especially with the jade pendant around his neck, which seemed to carry immense weight.
Lin Ke had often experienced this situation before; the jade pendant around his neck made it difficult to bear, as if it were absorbing his strength.
However, this jade pendant had been on him since childhood and seemed to be related to his mother, so he was unwilling to discard it.
In the dim room, the jade pendant on Lin Ke's chest shone brightly, as if it were merging with Lin Ke, which was quite astonishing.
By the next morning, Lin Ke was as good as new, going to work normally without any anomaly.
During these days, Elder Zi Yue had been guarding Lin Ke's safety, appearing quite diligent.
It wasn't just Zi Yue; even the members of the Dragon Group were secretly protecting him. Lu Fan's trip to other countries was for the affairs of the Dragon Kingdom, and they naturally dared not allow Lin Ke to be in any danger. Otherwise, how could they face Lu Fan?
After some time, Lu Fan had visited over a dozen nearby countries, most of whom had agreed to the alliance and were quite courteous.
They all understood the principle of "lips and teeth" – if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. These countries were neighbors of the Dragon Kingdom, and some had very weak strength. If they could join the alliance, it would be a good thing for them.
"Sir, we have visited all the surrounding countries. Should we return now?" Han Yunhai asked.
"There is still one last country!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "How can we not go!"
"The last country?" Gu Wen asked with slight surprise.
They had already visited all the surrounding countries of the Dragon Kingdom. How could there be an extra country?
"Sea Country!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Elder Wu Ji took my pill. If he doesn't agree to the alliance, it might not be easy!"
"Sir, please reconsider!"
Han Yunhai cupped his fists. "Besides Elder Wu Ji, there are even more powerful existences in the Sea Country. If we only go there, we might be in mortal danger!"
"The Grand Elder and Second Elder of Sea Country are in seclusion. This is the best opportunity!"
Lu Fan said directly, "Elder Wu Ji, to save his life, would not dare to be my enemy. It's better to take this opportunity to have them ally with the Dragon Kingdom, which will also increase our combat power!"
Gu Wen frowned slightly. "The Sea Country and the Dragon Kingdom have had some grievances before. How can they willingly form an alliance?"
"No matter!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "You wait here for me. I will go to the Sea Country personally!"
"Sir is going alone?"
Han Yunhai frowned. "Shall we all go together? If anything happens, we can take care of it!"
"If the two elders of Sea Country come out of seclusion, we will be in mortal danger!"
Lu Fan said frankly, "If I am alone, I can easily escape. If you go, it may not be a good thing."
"But..."
Han Qiushui frowned. "We are worried about Master going alone!"
"Unless it's a War Emperor expert, no one can harm me yet!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "You don't need to worry. Even if an Emperor-level expert makes a move, they may not be able to keep me!"
The others had nothing more to say. Han Yunhai said, "What Sir said is right. We will wait here for good news and not drag Sir down!"
The crowd was somewhat helpless and could only nod slightly.
After Lu Fan left, Jiang Meili said, "The Cang Qiong Kingdom allied with the Sea Country last time. It's probably not easy to get them to deal with the Cang Qiong Kingdom."
"It's indeed not easy!"
Han Yunhai nodded. "Sir is just stalling for time. Even if the Sea Country refuses to ally, they should be made to know that the Dragon Kingdom is not to be trifled with!"
Not long after, Lu Fan arrived within the borders of the Sea Country. In the capital city of the Sea Country, a white-haired old man in the City Lord's Mansion was playing chess, looking leisurely.
Upon sensing the aura, he suddenly stood up. "Who are you, young man, and why are you in the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Tell Wu Ji to come and see me!"
Lu Fan said, "I will wait for him in the City Lord's Mansion!"
The white-haired old man frowned. As the City Lord of the capital, he had a certain status within the Sea Country. Even he dared not call Elder Wu Ji by his name directly, yet Lu Fan was so unrestrained.
"Elder Wu Ji is an elder of the Sea Country. Not just anyone can meet him!"
The white-haired old man said directly, "Young man, your aura is not weak. You must not be an ordinary person. You should leave quickly to avoid bringing disaster upon yourself."
"I have already said it once, and I don't want to say it a second time!"
Lu Fan's expression was cold. He had never had a good impression of the people of the Sea Country. If the white-haired old man in front of him was not sensible, he wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.
"I really didn't expect you to be so unreasonable at such a young age!"
The white-haired old man's expression turned cold as he walked towards Lu Fan, exuding supreme pressure. As a War Spirit expert, he would not be weaker than anyone else.
Sensing this aura, Lu Fan's body did not move, showing a look of disdain. At that very moment, a powerful aura emerged.
The white-haired old man's expression trembled slightly, and he felt an urge to kneel. He was filled with disbelief. Lu Fan was so young yet possessed such an aura.
"King Realm!"
The City Lord of the capital's face turned ashen. "Who exactly are you!"
"If I still don't see Wu Ji, I don't mind turning the capital into ruins!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, his expression instantly turning cold. This time, he came to the Sea Country, and he would not be polite. Last time, the Sea Country allied with the Cang Qiong Kingdom and attacked the Dragon Kingdom, which had long displeased Lu Fan.
"I will go now!"
The City Lord of the capital said hurriedly. He was no match for Lu Fan. The only way now was to go to the headquarters of the Sea Country, otherwise, the entire capital would be leveled. He would not doubt Lu Fan's words.
As a King Realm expert, he possessed the aura of a King Realm expert, which was not comparable to them.
Not long after, the City Lord of the capital arrived at the headquarters of the Sea Country. Elder Wu Ji was in the conference room, with other elders beside him.
"Elder Wu Ji, someone wants to see you!"
The white-haired old man said in a deep voice, "He is in the City Lord's Mansion. I am not his opponent and dare not be negligent. If he cannot see Elder Wu Ji, he will destroy the entire city!"
"What an arrogant tone! Who exactly is it!"
Elder Wu Ji's expression was cold. "How dare someone run amok in the Sea Country!"
The other elders were also very angry. This was the Sea Country, and no one could cause trouble here. It was the dignity of a country.
"Elder Wu Ji, leave this matter to me!"
The Eighth Elder of the Sea Country spoke. "I will go and deal with that arrogant person. Daring to stir up trouble is asking for a beating, and I will make him pay!"
"No need!"
Elder Wu Ji waved his hand. "How old is that person, and do you know his background?"
"Your subordinate does not know!"
The white-haired old man shook his head. "But his age is quite young, and he doesn't look like someone from the Sea Country!"
