“You are the esteemed King of the Northwest, how could I not show you face!” the Sect Master of the Fire Sect said with a slight smile. “Do you find my actions satisfactory, King of the Northwest?”
“You expect me to believe that?”
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. “Your words suggest you have already made your preparations!”
“If the King of the Northwest insists on thinking that way, I can do nothing about it!”
The Sect Master of the Fire Sect shrugged slightly, his demeanor even more indifferent, as if he didn’t regard Lu Fan at all.
“My King, the Sect Master of the Fire Sect acts like this; we cannot let him go unpunished!”
The Lord of Cloud City spoke, his voice carrying a strong aura. At this point, the Sect Master of the Fire Sect still dared to be so arrogant.
Lu Fan waved his hand and looked towards the Sect Master of the Fire Sect. “I don’t know who is backing you, but it won’t be that easy to take someone from me!”
“The King of the Northwest certainly jokes around!”
The Sect Master of the Fire Sect stated directly, “I know you are no ordinary person, but I am not easy to deal with either!”
Lu Fan remained silent, instead presenting a booklet to the Sect Master of the Fire Sect. “Do you admit to the evidence of your crimes recorded within?”
The Sect Master of the Fire Sect observed for a moment before smiling faintly. “What is recorded here is accurate. These are all my doing!”
“I never expected you to be so direct?”
Lu Fan coldly chuckled. “It seems I have underestimated you!”
“You shouldn’t put it that way!”
The Sect Master of the Fire Sect said softly, “Things have reached this point, and it is a helpless situation for me. If possible, I would naturally hope for a peaceful negotiation!”
“Negotiation?”
Steward Zhao was taken aback. After the Sect Master of the Fire Sect’s words, he was momentarily at a loss.
At the same time, the crowd also looked at the Sect Master of the Fire Sect with expressions of surprise.
“Your crimes are too numerous to count!”
Lu Fan stated softly, “Do you still think I would let you go!”
“Why must the King of the Northwest be like this!”
The Sect Master of the Fire Sect spoke coldly, “Now that things have come to this, do you truly wish for the Royal Mansion to become an enemy of the Fire Sect? You should know what the outcome will be if you make an enemy of the Fire Sect in the entire Northwest!”
With these words, the crowd sneered, paying them no heed, as if in their eyes, nothing truly mattered.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan smiled faintly. “You are thinking of things too simply. Since I have taken action against you, I have never considered letting you go!”
“You can’t say that!”
The Sect Master of the Fire Sect stated directly, “As the Sect Master of the Fire Sect, I am a member of a sect. Moreover, I have a more powerful backer. If you offend me, even the King of the Northwest will have to weigh the consequences!”
Faced with such a threat, Lu Fan laughed without anger, staring coldly at the Sect Master of the Fire Sect. “You have quite a big mouth, daring to threaten me at this point!”
As soon as his words fell, Lu Fan turned his gaze to Steward Zhao. “According to the laws of the Northwest, what punishment does the Sect Master of the Fire Sect deserve for these crimes?”
“Death!”
Steward Zhao’s voice rang out, his expression earnest.
With these words, the Sect Master of the Fire Sect’s face instantly turned grim. He had not expected things to turn out this way, catching him completely off guard.
“Since it is a death sentence, execute it directly!”
Lu Fan’s voice was indifferent, carrying a powerful aura, as if he didn’t care at all.
“My King, are we to act now?”
Steward Zhao was startled, not expecting Lu Fan to be so direct.
“His spiritual power is sealed, and he cannot even deal with an ordinary person. Do I need to do it myself?” Lu Fan retorted.
“Your subordinate will attend to it at once!”
Steward Zhao quickly nodded. He had initially thought Lu Fan was merely trying to scare the Sect Master of the Fire Sect, not realizing he was being serious.
“King of the Northwest, if you truly kill me, have you considered the consequences?”
The Sect Master of the Fire Sect suddenly looked at Lu Fan, a surge of aura around him, his expression extremely cold.
Faced with these words, the crowd’s expressions changed drastically, and they looked on in disbelief, clearly not having expected things to unfold like this.
“Consequences?”
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes and picked up the booklet. “It seems I need to read them out to you one by one. The Fire Sect has massacred tens of thousands of civilians, showing no humanity!”
“Hmph!”
The Sect Master of the Fire Sect snorted. “They are just a bunch of ants, what do they matter!”
“Since you believe ants matter little, I will kill you today to appease the many deceased citizens!”
Lu Fan’s voice was icy, carrying an imposing aura, as if everything in his eyes was of utmost importance. Sudan Novel Network.
“You cannot kill me!”
The Sect Master of the Fire Sect stated coldly, “The Sect Master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect is my close kin. If you dare to kill me, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect will never let it go. You will surely be unable to bear the consequences!”
“Heavenly Dragon Sect?”
Lu Fan’s brow twitched, and he immediately chuckled. “And what of it? Does this Heavenly Dragon Sect intend to rebel?”
The Sect Master of the Fire Sect’s face turned ashen, still attempting to threaten Lu Fan, but Lu Fan seemed completely unfazed, his gaze exceedingly sharp.
After the Sect Master of the Fire Sect was taken away, the various City Lords looked at Lu Fan. “My Lord, are you truly going to act against him?”
“That is only natural!”
Lu Fan nodded and said, “Now that things have reached this point, how could I possibly let it go easily!”
Seeing Lu Fan’s firm resolve, the various City Lords frowned, appearing to have some concerns.
“The Heavenly Dragon Sect has immense power. If they truly come to demand his return, what will you do, my King?” the Lord of Cloud City inquired, his expression serious.
Now that things had reached this stage, some matters needed to be addressed, and he would not conceal them from Lu Fan.
After all, if the Sect Master of the Fire Sect were to die unnaturally, it would undoubtedly stir up trouble, which would certainly not be a fortunate event for them.
“This is the Northwest, and I am its Lord. Does anyone dare to overstep me?” Lu Fan’s expression was indifferent, his words carrying no hint of reservation.
Faced with these words, the various City Lords were momentarily stunned but dared not say more. What Lu Fan had just said was not without reason.
However, they knew very well that some things could be done, while others could not. What had transpired today had undoubtedly exceeded their wildest imaginations.
Screams erupted, and the Sect Master of the Fire Sect met a tragic end. Witnessed by the people of Cloud City, he was unable to resist, as his spiritual power had been sealed by Lin Fan.
Seeing this scene before them, the people of Cloud City were filled with shock. They never imagined that the Sect Master of the Fire Sect would die so suddenly, leaving them utterly unprepared and deeply shaken.
“My King, it has been resolved!” Steward Zhao arrived, bowing his fist in greeting.
Lu Fan nodded slightly, his gaze appearing calm, as if in his eyes, the Sect Master of the Fire Sect deserved to die, otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted so decisively.
Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Elder Huo Yan clasped his fist. “I implore the Sect Master to seek justice for our Sect Master. He has been captured and brought to Cloud City and is in grave danger!”
“The Sect Master of the Fire Sect is my nephew. How could I let this matter rest!”
The Sect Master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect waved his hand and stood up, addressing an elder. “Summon the other sects in the Northwest. Accompany me to Cloud City!”
