"What terrifying flame power! The temperature has already risen so much throughout the entire city. Does he intend to melt all of Tianxiang City?"
Many people exclaimed, their hearts filled with dread. The strength Lu Fan displayed was exceptionally fearsome, inspiring deep caution and solemn expressions in everyone.
"Such immense flame power is truly the first I've ever witnessed!"
Miaoyin frowned and said, "But even so, you shouldn't have attacked my sect!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, his expression cold. "Who I choose to attack is my prerogative, not something you can control. Moreover, you cannot escape this calamity today, yet you dare to speak such words?"
"Even with your formidable flame power, you may not be able to capture me!" Miaoyin said coldly. "What makes you say I cannot escape this calamity?"
"You truly are stubborn!"
Lu Fan's expression remained indifferent. In that instant, a surge of powerful energy erupted, appearing terrifying as it swept across the entire Miaoyin Pavilion.
The people of Miaoyin Pavilion leaped into the air, their faces turning ashen. The entire pavilion had become an ocean of fire, and no one could stand within it. This was no ordinary flame; its power was so great that it could ignite their spiritual energy, a truly terrifying prospect.
Sensing the dire situation, Elder Miaoyin did not dare to hesitate. She turned to flee, having already sensed Lu Fan's aura. Although he hadn't reached the Immortal Emperor realm, his overall strength was not weak, and it even seemed to surpass hers.
If that were the case, she might not escape this day. After all, judging by Lu Fan's demeanor, he seemed to have no intention of letting her go.
"There's no need to struggle further. You are already a trapped beast, unable to escape my grasp!"
Lu Fan sneered. "Further struggle is futile. If you lead me to Tianxiang Sect now, you might still preserve your life!"
Miaoyin's brow furrowed, then she chuckled. "Since you are so eager to go to Tianxiang Sect, I shall grant your wish. I'd like to see if you can leave alive once you get there!"
"Then, thank you!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face. Whether he could leave alive was not important. What mattered was that he had his own plans for going to Tianxiang Sect.
In the blink of an eye, Miaoyin withdrew her aura. She knew that continuing to resist would be of no benefit to her and would only bring disaster. It was better to comply with Lu Fan's wishes, which would relieve her anxiety.
At the same time, Lu Fan could clearly sense the calculations in Miaoyin's mind, but he paid them no mind.
Since they were going to Tianxiang Sect, he had already made his preparations!
The moment Miaoyin withdrew her aura, Lu Fan struck out, directly immobilizing her.
"What do you mean by this?"
Miaoyin's expression instantly turned grim. She hadn't been prepared and hadn't expected Lu Fan to make a move, catching her off guard.
"Nothing else. This way, I won't have to worry about you running away on the road!" Lu Fan shrugged. "After all, no one knows what might happen before we reach Tianxiang Sect!"
"Shameless! To restrain me when I wasn't prepared! If I were to be molested on the road, how would I protect myself?" Miaoyin said coldly.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you!" Lu Fan shrugged. "So you don't need to be like this!"
"You..."
Miaoyin gritted her teeth in anger, her face turning a shade of green. She hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so blunt.
Even within Tianxiang Sect, she was considered a peerless beauty. For Lu Fan to speak such words was unbearable, and she felt deeply displeased.
However, Lu Fan remained unfazed by all of this, not taking it to heart at all.
After leaving Tianxiang City, Lu Fan led Miaoyin towards Tianxiang Sect. Throughout their journey, they remained silent, especially Miaoyin, who didn't utter a word and kept a stern expression.
Observing the scene, the Princess of Beimei stepped forward and chuckled, "I've long heard that the women of Tianxiang Sect are all stunning beauties. It seems to be true. With your looks, you could likely rank among the most beautiful in the entire Heavenly Court Dynasty!"
"Naturally. I am known as Miaoyin, which signifies supreme!"
Miaoyin stated proudly. "It's a shame I've encountered someone so obtuse, who doesn't understand how to cherish a woman and has sealed my spiritual energy!"
"It can't be helped. Who told you to be an elder of Tianxiang Sect with such strength? If we let you escape, how could we reach Tianxiang Sect!" the Princess of Beimei said with a sigh.
"When you arrive at Tianxiang Sect, you will surely regret this!"
Miaoyin said coldly, her dissatisfaction evident. If she hadn't been restrained, she wouldn't have been so passive.
"Don't even think about it. Even if you reach Tianxiang Sect, you won't be able to do anything!" Lu Fan shrugged, his gaze appearing calm.
"As a super sect, how can you provoke my Tianxiang Sect!" Miaoyin said coldly. "Your words just now are utterly ridiculous!"
"Since you don't believe my words, I have nothing more to say. However, I always speak the truth!"
Lu Fan said indifferently, not overly concerned. Regardless, Miaoyin was an elder of Tianxiang Sect, and there was no point in him saying more.
After some time, they arrived at Tianxiang Sect. Around its perimeter were many disciples, all exuding an extraordinary bearing, clearly not ordinary disciples.
Upon seeing the scene, Miaoyin's joy was immediate. Having arrived at Tianxiang Sect, she no longer had to worry too much.
At least in her opinion, Lu Fan and his companions were about to pay a heavy price, which was the consequence of offending her.
"Elder Miaoyin, why have you returned to the mountain?"
A female disciple stepped forward, looking at Miaoyin with confusion.
Under normal circumstances, Miaoyin should have been in Tianxiang City, not here.
"I've had my spiritual energy sealed by these people. Quickly go and inform the other elders!" Miaoyin commanded.
The disciples were stunned and became somewhat vigilant, unsure of what had happened.
They were well aware of Elder Miaoyin's strength. Under normal circumstances, this shouldn't be the case.
"He's telling the truth. Hurry and inform the Sect Master of Tianxiang Sect that the enemy is approaching!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his expression calm.
Even upon arriving at Tianxiang Sect, he showed no fear. Instead, a wicked smile played on his lips, as if everything was under his control.
Miaoyin's face turned livid. Lu Fan's blatant provocation made her extremely displeased. However, with her spiritual energy sealed, it was almost impossible for her to retaliate against Lu Fan. It seemed she could only accept her fate.
