"Xia Handong, you are but a defeated general, yet you dare to be insolent before me?" Lu Fan sneered, "In the battle of Bipotan, if not for the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, you would have lost your head long ago!"
Xia Handong's expression changed. With the people from Medicine King Valley present, Lu Fan pointing out his shortcomings made him even more displeased.
"Enough, the matter is urgent. Elder Mo, please do not delay!" the Fourth Elder said.
Xia Handong was full of displeasure but did not dare to flare up at this moment. He flicked his sleeve and walked directly into Medicine King Valley.
The Fourth Elder and Lu Fan followed. Their visit to Medicine King Valley this time was to request the dispatch of experts to reinforce the extraterrestrial battlefield. They did not wish to delay.
Not long after, the group arrived at the main hall of Medicine King Valley. The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley hurried to his feet, "So it's the Fourth Elder, a rare guest. I didn't expect the Fourth Elder to come!"
"Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, are you well!" the Fourth Elder smiled, "The situation on the extraterrestrial battlefield is urgent and cannot tolerate any delay. I will be blunt..." Su Dan Novel Network
"No hurry, no hurry!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley smiled, "Why are you all standing there? Hurry up and serve tea!"
Several women quickly served tea, while numerous elders stood beside them with indifferent expressions. They were well aware of why the Fourth Elder had come today, to request Medicine King Valley to provide reinforcements to the extraterrestrial battlefield. They were not that foolish.
The Fourth Elder took a sip of tea before speaking directly, "The situation on the extraterrestrial battlefield is tense. As one of the three great sects, Medicine King Valley should share the burdens of Dragon Country. If the three great sects send experts, it might alleviate the urgent crisis!"
"Fourth Elder, don't joke!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley gave a wry smile, "We, the three great sects, have no relation with Dragon Country and will not participate in national wars. It has always been this way since ancient times. Now that the Fourth Elder has come, have you forgotten the rules!"
"Rules are made by people. Dragon Country is in trouble, and you intend to stand by and do nothing?" the Fourth Elder stated directly, "Regardless, you are all people of Dragon Country, and even more so, sects of Dragon Country. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, let alone the majestic three great sects!"
"Fourth Elder, you speak too nobly!" Xia Handong smiled, "Our sects prioritize sect interests and will never easily dispatch experts. Furthermore, with the three great nations joining forces, Dragon Country will surely be overthrown. I suggest Elder speak no further and leave quickly to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
"Presumptuous!"
The Fourth Elder's expression turned cold, "I am the protector of Dragon Country, and many experts of Dragon Country must obey my deployment. Now that Dragon Country is at war, and Medicine King Valley speaks such words, Dragon Country will not let this matter rest!"
Xia Handong was about to retort but was glared at by the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, forcing him to swallow his words and dare not say anything more.
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley then smiled, "Fourth Elder, no need to be angry. As people of Dragon Country, how can we not share the burdens of Dragon Country? It is just that Medicine King Valley has few experts, and I fear we may not be able to share the burden for Dragon Country!"
"As long as there is this intention, Dragon Country will be grateful!" the Fourth Elder clasped his fists in a hurry.
As long as the entire nation united, resisting the other three nations would not be a difficult task.
"Since that is the case, send my three disciples to the extraterrestrial battlefield!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said solemnly, "It can be considered an explanation to Dragon Country. What do you think, Fourth Elder?"
As soon as the words fell, three figures were waiting outside the meeting room. They appeared to be of considerable age, but their aura did not seem strong.
"Three Grandmasters, and they have only just reached the Grandmaster realm!" the Fourth Elder sneered instantly, "Sending them to the extraterrestrial battlefield to kill, isn't that sending them to their deaths!"
"Elder, you are mistaken. These three are exceptionally talented and already possess Grandmaster strength. They should be of some use on the extraterrestrial battlefield!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said earnestly.
"Grandmaster strength does have some use on the extraterrestrial battlefield," Lu Fan smiled slightly, "But are three Grandmasters too few? I heard that each of the three great sects has at least a hundred Grandmasters. With so many powerful individuals, is sending only three appropriate!"
"Little brother Lu is joking. The three great sects do not have a hundred Grandmasters; that is merely idle talk. They are merely martial artists who follow the three great sects and deliberately exaggerate," the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley smiled, "What do the two of you think is an appropriate number of experts for Medicine King Valley to send to satisfy public opinion?"
"I think adding a zero to the end would be about right!" Lu Fan shrugged, "If Medicine King Valley sends 30 Grandmasters, plus the other two major powers, we can gather a hundred Grandmasters. These individuals going to the extraterrestrial battlefield could carve out a path!"
"30 Grandmasters?" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley sneered, "Little brother, you think highly of Medicine King Valley. Do you intend to drain the well for fish?"
"What nonsense!" the Fourth Elder smiled slightly, "If Medicine King Valley did not have so many experts, we naturally would not have asked. I hope the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley will reconsider!"
"I think you all are desperately craving experts!" Xia Handong said coldly, "30 Grandmasters are the backbone of Medicine King Valley. How can they be sent as cannon fodder!"
"What a joke! Numerous experts of Dragon Country are willing to fight valiantly on the extraterrestrial battlefield to protect the safety of Dragon Country. Do they not have families, not have children?" Lu Fan said coldly, "Why is it that when it comes to Medicine King Valley, they become cannon fodder!"
"You are simply quibbling!" Xia Handong said coldly, "You are asking for favors from Medicine King Valley, yet you dare to be so arrogant. What can you do if Medicine King Valley does not send a single person!"
"Presumptuous!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley exclaimed, "How can you be so rude? These are all esteemed guests!"
The Fourth Elder narrowed his eyes. He could see that the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley was playing the good cop, but he was unwilling to dispatch any experts. In this case, his visit to Medicine King Valley was meaningless.
"Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, you are the one in charge!" Lu Fan smiled, "What do you think of this matter?"
"To be honest, Medicine King Valley does not have 30 Grandmasters. Sending three Grandmasters is already showing considerable regard!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley stated directly, "Please do not make things difficult for us."
"My Qingyun Sect is not comparable to the three great sects, yet it still has a hundred Grandmasters. How can your Medicine King Valley have less than a hundred!" Lu Fan's expression was cold, "If Medicine King Valley refuses to act today, I will smash this mountain gate!"
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley trembled, and the expressions of the other elders also turned somber. Lu Fan's arrogance, if not for the presence of the Fourth Elder, would have likely resulted in him being dismembered.
The Fourth Elder stood by, not stopping Lu Fan's words. What Lu Fan said was exactly what he thought. Although he was an elder of Dragon Country, he was quite displeased with Medicine King Valley's conduct.
If Medicine King Valley insisted on this course of action, the Fourth Elder would not mind taking action, as it was the only way to resolve the matter.
For so many years, the three great sects had absorbed numerous resources from Dragon Country. Yet, in Dragon Country's time of crisis, they wished to stand idly by. Such a thing was unheard of.
