"Are you Lu Fan?"
The elder leading them squinted, his aura immense.
"Yes, I am Lu Fan!"
Lu Fan nodded. "Lord Heavenly God, what brings you here?"
"I am the Heavenly God of Law Enforcement. Zhang Feng died by your hand last night!" the Heavenly God of Law Enforcement asked.
"Indeed!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, his tone calm, as if it were no significant matter.
"If that is the case, you should know the consequences of killing a disciple of Yuqing Mountain!"
The Heavenly God of Law Enforcement asked plainly.
"Of course I know!"
Lu Fan nodded. "However, I did not make the first move. According to Yuqing Mountain's rules, if the one who strikes first dies an untimely death, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Who do you think you are? Just because you didn't make the first move, you can kill my brother?"
Zhang Sihai's voice was icy as he glared at Lu Fan. "With the Heavenly God of Law Enforcement here today, you cannot escape!"
The Heavenly God of Law Enforcement closed his eyes, awaiting Lu Fan's explanation.
"I was a disciple of the handyman quarter before, perhaps without the proper standing. But now, I am a disciple of Yuqing Mountain!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly and produced a jade token. "Moreover, I am the personal disciple of Heavenly God Rufeng. If someone attacks me, and I kill them, it seems to be within reason!"
"Heavenly God Rufeng's personal disciple?"
The Heavenly God of Law Enforcement looked puzzled and sighed. "Since he is Heavenly God Rufeng's personal disciple, and someone attacked him, his killing of that person does not violate Yuqing Mountain's rules!"
"Heavenly God of Law Enforcement, how can this be!"
Zhang Sihai frowned. "Must my brother die like this? As his elder brother, I cannot seek justice for him!"
"Justice?"
The Heavenly God of Law Enforcement chuckled. "In Yuqing Mountain, there is the Life and Death Arena. You can settle it there. But according to Yuqing Mountain's rules, he has done nothing wrong, so even the Law Enforcement Department cannot do anything to him!"
Zhang Sihai's eyes were filled with coldness, his hands trembling with anger.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave,"
The Heavenly God of Law Enforcement waved his hand. "Remember, you cannot act recklessly in Yuqing Mountain, or you will be violating the regulations!"
"Your disciple obeys!"
Zhang Sihai cupped his fists slightly, his gaze sharp. According to Yuqing Mountain's rules, acting recklessly was forbidden, but the Life and Death Arena existed.
With this in mind, Zhang Sihai looked at Lu Fan. "Do you dare to face me in the arena? I will surely make you pay!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you are at the third level of the Godly Manifestation realm!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "If I really accept your challenge, won't I be killed by you!"
"So you want to be a coward!"
Zhang Sihai's voice was filled with immense rage and a chilling indifference.
"You are correct, I want to be a coward!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly, his gaze calm, as if everything was within his control.
His words stunned everyone, as they couldn't believe Lu Fan would speak like this.
After all, those who reached this level all possessed boundless ambitions; how could they admit to being cowards?
"You are the most shameless person I have ever met!"
Zhang Sihai said coldly. "You dare not go to the Life and Death Arena with me, which means you are afraid!"
"It doesn't matter if I want to go or not!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "What can you do to me?"
"Very well, very well!"
Zhang Sihai laughed in anger. "I will make you pay. Although I cannot touch you within Yuqing Mountain, your friends in the handyman quarter are not so lucky. I fear they will die by my hand soon!"
"You dare!"
Lu Fan's eyes instantly turned cold, filled with murderous intent. He cared for the people in the handyman quarter and could not let anything happen to them.
"See if I dare!"
Zhang Sihai curved his lips, showing no restraint, as if everything were under his control.
Lu Fan's face darkened. He did not want his affairs to implicate the handyman quarter, but it seemed it was not that simple.
Later, Lu Fan returned to the handyman quarter and was relieved to see that everyone was unharmed.
"What's going on? Why are you back?" Zhao Xiaoyu smiled. "You are a disciple of Yuqing Mountain now, your status is different from ours!"
"What's different? You are my friends, is there a problem?" Lu Fan shrugged. "I came today because Zhang Feng's elder brother, Zhang Sihai, might make trouble for you, so I came personally!"
"But no one has come to cause trouble," Zhao Xiaoyu shook her head. "Besides, Heavenly God Rufeng is above us, so he wouldn't dare to act rashly. You don't need to worry too much!"
"That would be for the best!"
Lu Fan nodded. "Since I have nothing to do in Yuqing Mountain, I'll stay in the handyman quarter for the next few days!"
Zhao Xiaoyu wanted to say more but ultimately closed her mouth. Since Lu Fan had said this, it meant he had made up his mind, and anything more she said would be of no benefit.
After staying in the handyman quarter for several days and seeing that Zhang Sihai had not appeared, Lu Fan was relieved. He could now return to Yuqing Mountain with peace of mind.
Upon returning to Yuqing Mountain, Lu Fan continuously absorbed divine power, wanting to break through to the next realm as quickly as possible.
He knew very well that the Divine Realm was more terrifying than other realms. Without sufficient strength, he might only become a foil for others, unable to even seek justice.
He saw this very clearly.
After several tens of days, Lu Fan's aura became exceptionally terrifying. He spun upwards, as if he had entered a state of oblivion.
"What's happening? The divine power of Yuqing Mountain is fluctuating. Is someone about to break through?"
In a hall, several Heavenly Gods sat together, puzzled. Under normal circumstances, this should not be happening.
"Could it be that kid!"
Heavenly God Rufeng was surprised. "I didn't expect him to show signs of breakthrough in just a few days. It seems he truly is a favored child of heaven. Yuqing Mountain will have another prodigy!"
"Are you talking about the disciple you mentioned?" the Heavenly God of Law Enforcement smiled. "Indeed, he is young and promising. Upon entering the Divine Realm, he was already able to kill a cultivator at the second level of Godly Manifestation!"
Hearing this, Heavenly God Rufeng smiled lightly, feeling a sense of contentment. Taking Lu Fan as a disciple seemed like a good choice.
At the same time, on the peak of Yuqing Mountain, Lu Fan's aura surged, directly breaking through the second level of the Godly Manifestation realm and heading straight for the third.
