"You'll know if you try!" Liu Rushuang’s lips curved into a smile. "But you'd better be careful. When you make your move, you might not even have your life left!"
"You dare to threaten me!"
Chen Shihai glared sharply at Liu Rushuang, his anger intensifying.
"You can say I'm threatening you, or you can believe what I'm saying is true!" Liu Rushuang shrugged. "But I've already told you, if you dare to act recklessly, you'll be the one who suffers!"
Facing these words, Chen Shihai let out a cold laugh, laced with amusement. "You have quite the nerve. Today, I want to see what kind of capability you possess to speak such words!" Su Dan Novels
In that very instant, Chen Shihai strode towards Liu Rushuang, his aura fierce and overwhelming.
Liu Shuqin stood by silently, not making a move. She was genuinely curious whether Chen Shihai was Liu Rushuang's match. If not, wouldn't it be a fool's errand for her to intervene?
With this thought, Liu Shuqin appeared quite composed, as if she hadn't taken the matter seriously at all.
Lu Fan stood by, feeling utterly helpless. He didn't want any trouble, but unfortunately, Chen Shihai was seeking his own demise, and he felt powerless to intervene.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Shihai's body violently recoiled, a trickle of blood spilling from his lips. He stared at Liu Rushuang in disbelief, never having imagined that someone so young could possess such terrifying strength, catching him completely off guard.
"I already told you, you are no match for me!" Liu Rushuang stated plainly. "It's a pity you never believed my words. But now, you should be absolutely certain that you are no match for me, shouldn't you?"
"Indeed, I am not your match!"
Chen Shihai said coldly, "But I am from the Chen family of Jiangdong. If you dare to offend me, my Chen family of Jiangdong will never let you off easily!"
At these words, Liu Rushuang burst into laughter. "The Chen family of Jiangdong? I've never heard of it, but it seems they are not worth mentioning!"
"You..."
Chen Shihai's face turned ashen, his anger boiling. He could not fathom how Liu Rushuang dared to insult him so, making it unbearable for him.
However, at the same time, Lu Fan said to Liu Rushuang, "That's enough. We should get going. We still have important matters to attend to!"
"He doesn't seem convinced. If I don't teach him a lesson, how can I live up to his Chen family reputation!" Liu Rushuang sneered coldly.
Chen Shihai was clearly frightened. He quickly dodged, realizing from the previous move that he was no match for Liu Rushuang. In that case, fighting Liu Rushuang would undoubtedly be a sure defeat for him.
"Ahem, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave!"
Liu Shuqin coughed a few times and left, looking disheveled. Had she made a move just now, Liu Rushuang would likely have struck her as easily as swatting a dog, without any reservation.
Seeing this, Chen Shihai's face immediately turned grim. Being targeted by Liu Rushuang in such a manner left him feeling utterly stifled.
"It's time to go, that's enough!"
Lu Fan spoke, his expression serious. After all, he was not concerned about this particular matter.
To his words, Liu Rushuang nodded, not intending to trouble Chen Shihai further. Someone like him was not worth the effort.
Returning to the Northwest King's Mansion, Lu Fan summoned numerous city lords and dispatched them to search for the Nine Dragon Grass. This matter was extremely urgent, and every city lord who received the task dared not delay even for a moment.
Not long after, news spread throughout the entire Northwest region: a search for the Nine Dragon Grass was underway. Regardless of the time or place, flyers were posted, appearing quite conspicuous.
"This way, we won't have to worry about not finding the Nine Dragon Grass!"
Lu Fan's expression was grave. As long as they could find the Nine Dragon Grass, they could invite the Old Immortal Doctor. This was likely the only way, and thus Lu Fan dared not be negligent.
Meanwhile, in the Medicine Immortal Valley, upon hearing that the Nine Dragon Grass was being sought everywhere, the Old Immortal Doctor revealed a pleased expression. As the saying goes, many hands make light work; perhaps it could truly be found. If that were the case, his peerless Elixir of Longevity could be refined, as it was only missing the Nine Dragon Grass.
In the following days, everyone worked tirelessly, paying great attention to the Nine Dragon Hall, which stirred considerable excitement.
The Lord of Yun City hurried over, a smile on his face. "My lord, I just received news that there is a lead on the Nine Dragon Grass!"
"Where is it?"
Lu Fan inquired, his eyes gleaming with joy. They had experienced considerable difficulty in searching for the Nine Dragon Grass these past few days. Now that they knew of the Nine Dragon Hall's whereabouts, they naturally would not let the opportunity slip away.
"It's in the Jiangbei area!"
The Lord of Yun City stated directly, "Does Your Majesty wish to personally go?"
"Since there is news of the Nine Dragon Grass, I naturally must go!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, his expression solemn.
He had waited for several days to obtain the Nine Dragon Grass. Now that there was an opportunity, how could he easily miss it?
Following Lu Fan's words, the Lord of Yun City quickly nodded, not daring to delay in the slightest.
The Northwest region was now searching for the Nine Dragon Grass everywhere. With news finally surfacing, any mishap would be an unbearable burden for him as well.
Not long after, Lu Fan, accompanied by Liu Ruyan, arrived in Jiangbei.
The entire Jiangbei region was vast, encompassing numerous territories.
News about the Nine Dragon Grass had spread like wildfire, especially the appearance of the Nine Dragon Grass in Jiangbei, which caused considerable suspicion.
After all, the Nine Dragon Grass was an item the Northwest King was seeking. If it truly appeared in Jiangbei, it would likely stir up considerable unrest.
The Lord of Yun City led the way. After a long while, they arrived at a city within Jiangbei. In this city, someone was hawking the Nine Dragon Grass at a seemingly low price.
"Nine Dragon Grass?"
Lu Fan was perplexed. He looked towards the stall in front of him. The Nine Dragon Grass was a sacred medicine, a rare find, and how could it be openly sold on the street? It was utterly bizarre.
"These are ordinary vendors, deliberately shouting out prices to inflate them!" the Lord of Yun City explained. "The true Nine Dragon Grass is enshrined in the Heavenly God Temple!"
"Heavenly God Temple?"
Lu Fan furrowed his brow. "Why have I never heard of it before?"
"The Heavenly God Temple is where Jiangbei worships its Heavenly God. Within this Heavenly God Temple lies the Nine Dragon Grass!" the Lord of Yun City stated solemnly. "As for the specifics, I am not entirely sure, but one thing is certain: the Nine Dragon Hall is located within the Heavenly God Temple!"
"If that's truly the case, obtaining the Nine Dragon Grass will not be easy!" Liu Rushuang remarked meaningfully, appearing to know something. Her expression was earnest, without any reservation.
