Shenfeng the Great hurriedly nodded, not daring to say more. He knew Lu Fan's temperament well; any further words would surely provoke his displeasure.
However, after walking for a short while within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, Lu Fan sensed a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation emanating from its deepest reaches. This energy was extraordinary and seemed exceptionally unusual.
"I truly never imagined that the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range would harbor such a peerless expert!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, appearing more intrigued.
"Does the Lord sense something?"
Shenfeng the Great spoke repeatedly, his face beaming with joy. Perhaps now they could truly deal with the old forces within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, and he could avenge himself sooner.
After all, his Dao companion had accompanied him to the Ziwei Domain and was his closest confidant. If not for venturing into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, things would not have escalated to this point.
Deep within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, several elders sat together, their gazes growing sharp. "To think someone has intruded upon the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range and remains unaffected!"
"Even if unaffected, what does it matter? If any one of us makes a move, it will be enough to annihilate him completely!" the green-robed elder sneered, his eyes filled with pride.
"I fear it's not that simple!"
The white-robed elder shook his head. "This person dares to step into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range; how can he be an ordinary individual? Most importantly, you all sensed it too – the one who entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range possesses the aura of three Heavenly Lords!"
"So what if he has the aura of a Heavenly Lord!" the black-robed elder chuckled faintly. "Have you forgotten? Many years ago, two Heavenly Lord-level powerhouses intruded upon this Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, and one of them was slain by us?"
"I know that, of course, but have you considered why so many Heavenly Lords have come to the Ziwei Domain?" the white-haired elder stated directly. "We are remnants of the ancient era. In that great war, any Heavenly Lord-level powerhouses who survived have entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range!"
"You mean they are not from the Ziwei Domain?"
His expression shifted slightly, the black-robed elder furrowed his brow. "If that is truly the case, this matter is rather troublesome, as there are still peerless experts in other domains!"
"Why do you need to worry!"
The green-robed elder chuckled. "We have been here for countless years, using the aura of this Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range to conceal our heavenly secrets and live to this age, which is already quite difficult. Moreover, after so many years of accumulation, we have reached an extremely high realm. Who can shake us!"
The elders nodded in agreement upon hearing this, not shying away from the matter.
"That's well said!" the black-robed elder smiled faintly. "Green-robed, it will be troublesome for you this time. Go and deal with these few individuals, so they don't leave the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range so easily!"
"Mere ants, why should I bother!"
The green-robed elder smiled faintly. "I will personally attend to it!"
The white-robed and black-robed elders nodded slightly, not taking it too seriously. The green-robed elder had resided in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range for countless years, and his strength was extraordinary. In all those years, no one who had intruded upon the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range had ever left alive.
At the same time, Lu Fan and his group continued to advance, finally stopping after some time. "It seems we need to wait!"
"Why?"
Zhao Xiaotian asked in confusion. "Shouldn't this be the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range ahead?"
"I know that, of course, but someone has already emerged from the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range!"
Lu Fan chuckled. "If I'm not mistaken, they will be here soon!"
Following these words, Shenfeng the Great's expression also turned solemn. The grudges of the past were irreconcilable, but alas, he lacked the ability. Now that Lu Fan had personally entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, if there was an opportunity, he would not let it go easily.
At that very instant, an elder appeared before Lu Fan and his group, his eyes deep and filled with a killing intent. "The Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is a forbidden land within the Ziwei Domain, not a place others can tread!"
"Are you the one guarding the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range?"
Lu Fan glanced at him. "I truly never expected such a powerful aura. To have such an expert in the Ziwei Domain is quite rare!"
"What a joke! Who are you, boy, to speak so boldly!"
The green-robed elder's expression was indifferent. "In countless years, anyone who has intruded upon the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range has met their death. Are you not afraid of death!"
"Countless years?"
Lu Fan's lips curled slightly. "So, you have existed since the ancient times? No wonder you have such cultivation. To have survived since antiquity and reached this point is truly astonishing!"
"Since you already know, why don't you kneel and take your own life!"
His expression turned cold, the green-robed elder was unapologetic, as if everything was under his control.
"You have quite a big mouth. Even if you have existed for countless years, I will break through your Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range today!"
Lu Fan's lips curled slightly, a sharp edge to his demeanor, as if everything was within his grasp.
"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
The green-robed elder's expression was icy. At that very moment, a vast surge of spiritual energy erupted, striking towards Lu Fan without any reservation.
Sensing this power, Shenfeng the Great's expression changed drastically, but he faced death with resolve. It was as he had expected; the experts of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range were not someone they could contend with. Such a powerful aura was enough to crush Lu Fan.
"Lord, be careful!"
Zhao Xiaotian cried out a warning. Even he sensed a danger, and this danger was extraordinary. It was even possible they would perish on the spot.
Boom...
A deafening crash echoed, and the surrounding spiritual energy exploded instantly, causing a tremor. Even the entire Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range trembled, filling everyone with dread.
The green-robed elder was forced back, his face changing dramatically. He had not expected Lu Fan, with his own strength, to be able to injure him.
Pfft...
A mouthful of blood spurted out. The green-robed elder felt his spiritual energy gradually dissipate.
"Your strength is decent, but unfortunately, it's still lacking a bit!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly. "I wonder what other mysteries lie in the deepest reaches of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range!"
"Who exactly are you!"
The green-robed elder, dragging his heavily injured body, immediately adopted a solemn expression. Apart from the birth of a deity, perhaps no one else could possess such power, making him uneasy.
"You don't need to know!"
Lu Fan's expression was calm, with a hint of coldness. Shenfeng the Great gasped in admiration, naturally not expecting that Lu Fan could actually injure the guardian of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. The Elf Queen stood by, secretly delighted. Even the forbidden land of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range could not trouble Lu Fan, which was truly moving.
