Upon witnessing the scene before them, everyone was startled. If the Heavenly God Pill were truly taken, their participation in the Peak Battle would be rendered meaningless.
The Heavenly God Pill held a special significance for them, arguably more important than their lives. Therefore, they would never allow it to be taken by another, at least as long as there was a sliver of hope.
As Lu Fan charged out of the miasma, numerous disciples of Yujinxiang also moved, intercepting and blocking Lu Fan, emanating a powerful aura.
Seeing this, Li Tian was also stunned. Lu Fan was his teammate. Now that Lu Fan had obtained the Heavenly God Pill, he was unsure whether to intervene or not.
Yan Ruyi, seeing the situation, did not hesitate and stepped directly towards Lu Fan, exuding a sharp presence and even employing divine techniques. Su Dan Novel Network.
Unfortunately, Lu Fan's movement technique was too fast. Even with everyone trying to intercept him, they could barely keep up. His teleportation skill proved its worth, living up to its reputation as a divine technique of Yuqing Mountain.
"I truly didn't expect this brat, who only recently entered the Divine Realm, to obtain the Heavenly God Pill!"
The Law Enforcement Heavenly God stood on a mountaintop not far from Yuqing Mountain, observing with considerable interest. Beside him were many other Heavenly Gods, all expressing surprise at the scene.
According to their calculations, Qi Tiancheng should have been the one to obtain the Heavenly God Pill, as he was supposedly the strongest among the disciples. However, reality had surpassed their expectations.
"I didn't expect that the teleportation technique I taught him would be cultivated to such a degree!"
A smile graced his lips, and the Swift Wind Heavenly God nodded with satisfaction, "It seems this Heavenly God Pill is destined for him!"
"One cannot say for sure. He has not yet left the Ancient Battlefield, which means other disciples still have a chance!"
The Wood Autumn Heavenly God spoke indifferently, his eyes betraying a hint of displeasure, as if harboring significant animosity towards Lu Fan.
"It seems the Wood Autumn Heavenly God is angered!"
The Law Enforcement Heavenly God smiled, "But it is understandable. Your personal disciple had his divine soul taken. I suppose anyone would feel upset!"
"Are you mocking me, Law Enforcement Heavenly God?"
The Wood Autumn Heavenly God shot him a glare, "Your disciple Qi Tiancheng, hailed as the strongest existence in Yuqing Mountain, was ultimately defeated by him!"
"One cannot say that. Tiancheng did not lose; he simply failed to seize the Heavenly God Pill!"
A slight smile played on his lips as the Law Enforcement Heavenly God retorted without reservation, his words laced with indifference.
After waiting for a while, Lu Fan finally exited the ancient battlefield and returned to Yuqing Mountain.
He understood very well that only by safely returning to Yuqing Mountain would the pursuit from the disciples subside.
"Esteemed Heavenly Gods, I have obtained the Heavenly God Pill!"
Lu Fan presented the Heavenly God Pill and looked towards the Heavenly Gods with a serious expression.
"Since you have obtained the Heavenly God Pill, it belongs to you. From now on, all disciples of Yuqing Mountain will be under your command!" the Law Enforcement Heavenly God stated directly. "You are also the next Heavenly God of Yuqing Mountain!"
"Thank you, Esteemed Heavenly Gods!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists, his face beaming with joy.
Meanwhile, the disciples of Yuqing Mountain had also returned. Seeing the scene, they could only feel a sense of helplessness.
The Heavenly God Pill was an unparalleled treasure in their eyes, and now they had lost the opportunity, leaving them with a profound sense of regret.
"From now on, Lu Fan will be the next Heavenly God, overseeing all disciples of Yuqing Mountain!" the Law Enforcement Heavenly God declared. "Do all disciples of Yuqing Mountain understand?"
"I am not convinced!"
Qi Tiancheng spoke up, "If it were a true battle, I might not be his opponent. He simply obtained the Heavenly God Pill first but did not defeat me. How can he command me!"
"What? Are you defying your master's words?"
The Law Enforcement Heavenly God's gaze turned cold as he looked at Qi Tiancheng, a chilling intent radiating from him.
"Naturally, I would not dare defy you, Master. However, this matter is too unfair!" Qi Tiancheng spoke again.
"Losing is losing. As my disciple, you should have the fortitude for this!" the Law Enforcement Elder said indifferently.
Qi Tiancheng felt a sense of helplessness and finally ceased his protests. With even the Law Enforcement Heavenly God saying so, he could not express his dissatisfaction further.
"Master, my divine soul was taken..."
Shen Canghai, his face grim, approached the Wood Autumn Heavenly God. "I implore you, Master, to help me reclaim it. Otherwise, will I not be at the mercy of others in the future?"
The Wood Autumn Heavenly God glanced at him before shaking his head in resignation and looking at Lu Fan. "You have obtained the Heavenly God Pill, young man. Why not return that divine soul to him!"
"He offended me first, trying to kill me, which is why I took his divine soul!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "If I had lost, I would likely not even have my life. So, how could I easily hand over this divine soul!"
"It was all my fault before. Junior Brother Lu, why must you hold a grudge against me!" Shen Canghai cupped his fists. "Please return my divine soul!"
"What if I refuse?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, a cold glint appearing. He detested being threatened the most.
He could have killed Shen Canghai for his transgression, but he had spared his life. Yet, Shen Canghai behaved in such a manner.
"I can do nothing more, Master!"
The Wood Autumn Heavenly God shook his head. "If he is unwilling to return the divine soul, that is his affair. After all, what happened between you did not occur within Yuqing Mountain, so we have no authority to intervene!"
Faced with these words, the disciples were shocked. They had not expected Elder Wood Autumn to speak in such a manner, it was beyond their expectations.
"Alas, since even Master has said so, I can only accept my fate!"
Shen Canghai forced an awkward smile. He had hoped to reclaim his divine soul with the help of Wood Autumn, but it seemed unlikely now.
"That is more like it!"
The Wood Autumn Heavenly God nodded, his expression calm.
Lu Fan had already obtained the Heavenly God Pill, and likely, in the near future, Yuqing Mountain would have another Heavenly God.
Therefore, Wood Autumn dared not be too harsh with Lu Fan.
The Heavenly God Pill was a divine object, extremely rare, and only presented as a treasure during the annual Peak Battle, giving disciples a chance to compete and allowing Yuqing Mountain to select its most formidable Heavenly Gods.
Only through this means could Yuqing Mountain's foundation become increasingly stable.
"Since Senior Brother Shen accepts his fate, I shall not keep this divine soul!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly and projected his divine soul, instantly returning it to Shen Canghai.
Shen Canghai was stunned. He had not expected Lu Fan to be so direct, leaving him somewhat bewildered.
"We are all disciples of Yuqing Mountain and should unite!"
Lu Fan stated directly. "Since I will command the disciples of Yuqing Mountain in the future, I do not wish for such incidents to occur again!"
"Thank you, Junior Brother Lu!"
Shen Canghai's face lit up with surprise, and he quickly cupped his fists, a smile appearing on his face. The divine soul was akin to his life. Now that he had it back, how could he not be thrilled.
