Boom…
A thunderous sound echoed at the border of Dragon Country. Du Qianqiu resisted with all his might, but Lu Fan’s strength was formidable. Coupled with the power of the Great Desolation Exterminating Heaven Palm martial art, it was difficult for him to withstand. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his body was sent back more than ten meters.
“Elders, take him down!”
The Fourth Elder saw that the time was ripe and spoke, his voice carrying considerable authority. The other elders immediately attacked, holding nothing back.
As the strongest combatants of Dragon Country, they could not delay. If they couldn't capture Du Qianqiu today, how could Dragon Country maintain its dignity?
“Just you lot? You’re not qualified!”
Du Qianqiu’s expression was indifferent. He stomped his foot heavily on the ground, causing the earth to shake. The many elders staggered, unable to advance.
“You’ve been defeated, yet you dare to be arrogant!”
Lu Fan stepped into the air, a surge of internal energy emanating from his palm as he struck fiercely at Du Qianqiu. He would show no mercy; the revenge for the annihilation of his clan was an irreconcilable hatred.
Lu Fan knew very well that eliminating Du Qianqiu would bring nothing but benefits to Dragon Country.
“You cannot kill me. If you kill me, you will not know who the true mastermind behind this is!” Du Qianqiu said earnestly.
“The mastermind?”
Lu Fan’s expression darkened, and he retracted his hand. “What do you mean by that?”
“It wasn’t I who wanted the Starfall Stone, but someone else did. I was merely acting on their behalf!”
Du Qianqiu stated directly, “You must have noticed, your Lu family is not as simple as it seems!”
“Who is it? Who else is behind it?”
Lu Fan’s eyes were grim. “Why are they doing this?”
“If you spare my life, I will tell you everything!” Du Qianqiu said plainly. “If you insist on killing me, you will know nothing!”
“Are you threatening me?”
Lu Fan’s face was cold. “I will not be threatened by anyone. Even if there is someone behind this, I will certainly find them out!”
“Some people are not to be trifled with!”
Du Qianqiu said directly, “Have you heard of Canglong Academy?”
“Canglong Academy?”
The many elders trembled violently and turned their gazes to Du Qianqiu. The term was spoken with considerable caution, as if they were reluctant to mention it.
“I have never heard of Canglong Academy!”
Lu Fan shook his head. “But what is the origin of this Canglong Academy, and what does it have to do with the Lu family?”
“I’m not entirely clear, but the high-ranking members of Canglong Academy knew that the Lu family possessed the Starfall Stone and ordered me to search for it for 30 years!”
Du Qianqiu stated directly, “If you let me go, I can take you to Canglong Academy!”
“Absolutely do not listen to his nonsense!”
The Fourth Elder interjected, “Canglong Academy ceased to exist long ago. Even if it still exists, it would never easily reveal itself.”
“So, within Dragon Country, there are even more powerful entities?” Lu Fan asked with some curiosity. “If that’s the case, why didn’t Canglong Academy send any experts when Cangqiong Country attacked?”
“Canglong Academy holds a position of high regard. Why would they concern themselves with wars between nations?”
Du Qianqiu said directly, “They care about absolute power. If they covet the Lu family’s Starfall Stone, they will keep it in mind.”
“Thank you for the reminder today!” Su Dan Novel Network
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. “However, you are destined to die today!”
“You still want to kill me?”
Du Qianqiu’s face darkened. He hadn’t expected Lu Fan to still intend to kill him after he had revealed everything.
“No matter what, you are the killer of my clan. How can I let you live well?”
Lu Fan smiled faintly. “I think you should just die!”
“Your true enemy is not me. Since you still want to kill me, I will fight you to the death!”
Du Qianqiu forced himself to stand, his eyes carrying a cold glint. He wanted to see what methods Lu Fan possessed that allowed him to be so overbearing.
Lu Fan did not hold back, unleashing a palm strike directly, accompanied by gusts of wind. His expression was one of indifference; he would not be soft-hearted towards Du Qianqiu.
Boom…
With a loud crash, Du Qianqiu instantly fell to the ground. He was already severely injured, and Lu Fan’s powerful attack was something he could not resist. In an instant, he was defeated.
Looking at everything before him, Lu Fan’s expression was calm, and he even let out a sigh of relief. He had suffered greatly to deal with Du Qianqiu. Now that the Black Shadow organization was annihilated, he no longer had to worry too much.
After Du Qianqiu fell, Lu Fan retrieved the Starfall Stone. This was a heirloom of the Lu family, and Lu Fan would not discard it carelessly.
Seeing this, the many elders also smiled. Du Qianqiu’s untimely death and the subjugation of the numerous martial arts experts of the Black Shadow organization were the greatest blessings for Dragon Country.
Thus, Dragon Country gained more martial arts experts and became more united than ever before.
After dealing with Du Qianqiu, Lu Fan and the others headed towards Dragon Capital. Everything had concluded. Dragon Country would no longer have hidden dangers and could focus on facing external threats.
Shortly after they left, several women appeared next to Du Qianqiu’s corpse. They held iron fans and wore ancient attire, possessing considerable beauty.
“I never imagined that a descendant of the Lu family would truly grow up. To possess the strength of a Battle Emperor at such a young age is indeed interesting!” the leading woman said.
“The Starfall Stone has appeared. Should we head to Dragon Capital?”
One woman spoke, “If we seize the Starfall Stone, we can return to the academy to report our mission!”
“We’ve been confined in the academy for so long, we haven’t had a chance to get some fresh air!” Long Yi said softly. “We can’t complete the mission so easily. Wouldn’t that be meaningless!”
“Senior Sister Long Yi, what do you mean?” a nearby woman asked in surprise.
“I will bring the Starfall Stone back to the academy, but not right now. You must all be very curious about the outside world. Spend these few days as you please, and when the time is right, we will return to the academy to report our mission!” Long Yi stated directly.
“This might not be appropriate. Our mentors have reminded us not to play around outside!” one woman frowned.
“What? Are you not listening to me?” Long Yi said coldly. “I am your senior sister, and moreover, with me here, obtaining the Starfall Stone will be a matter of moments!”
“We dare not!”
The many women clasped their fists, their expressions becoming more solemn. They knew that Long Yi was powerful and had exceptional talent, and she was their senior sister. How could they dare to offend her?
Although they were sent out on this mission for the Starfall Stone, they had not visited the secular world in a long time and naturally wished to explore.
Meanwhile, within Dragon Capital, as the elders were about to depart, Lu Fan stopped them. “Elders, what is this Canglong Academy that Du Qianqiu mentioned? Why have I never heard of it?”
The elders trembled slightly, their expressions shifting slightly. They hadn’t expected Lu Fan to ask directly, and his words were devoid of any hesitation.
