"The Temple of the Heavenly Gods acts outrageously, and I will show no mercy!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "You brought this all upon yourselves!"
"Do you know what kind of power lies behind our Temple of the Heavenly Gods?" Pu Zhi asked coldly, with a trace of arrogance.
Lu Fan immediately burst into laughter. "No matter what kind of power backs the Temple of the Heavenly Gods, your actions have thoroughly crossed my bottom line!"
"Northwest King, do you truly intend to make an enemy of the Heavenly Palace?" the Temple Master of the Heavenly Gods asked with a smile. "Our Temple of the Heavenly Gods is insignificant, but the Heavenly Palace is filled with countless experts, perhaps even numerous Immortal Emperor realm powerhouses. If you dare to act outrageously in the Temple of the Heavenly Gods today, the Heavenly Palace will surely not stand idly by!"
"The Heavenly Palace?"
Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly, then he immediately let out a cold laugh. "Of course, I know the power of the Heavenly Palace, and I have heard of it. But so what?"
"Excellent, excellent, excellent! The Northwest King's assertiveness has truly broadened my horizons!"
The Temple Master of the Heavenly Gods burst into laughter, appearing somewhat wild. The Temple of the Heavenly Gods was no ordinary force, and with the Heavenly Palace as its backing, Lu Fan's words naturally stirred his anger.
However, Lu Fan remained calm, not taking it too seriously. Since he had decided to act, he would not flinch. Lu Fan was clear about this.
At that very moment, the power around the Haotian Tower grew stronger, instantly destroying numerous structures within the Temple of the Heavenly Gods. The many elder monks within the temple were thrown into utter panic. They had never imagined that Lu Fan would be so overbearing.
"What should the Temple Master do?" The elder monks looked towards the Temple Master, their eyes filled with alarm. They were well aware that if this matter was not handled properly, it would undoubtedly be a great trouble for the entire Heavenly Palace.
The Temple Master of the Heavenly Gods' face turned ashen. He gazed at Lu Fan. "Northwest King, we are no match for you. However, you should understand that some matters are not that simple! If you truly destroy the Temple of the Heavenly Gods, you should also know the implications!"
Following these words, Lu Fan burst into laughter and unleashed his spiritual energy, directly striking towards the Temple Master. If he had been the one to lose, he would have surely perished.
Lu Fan had no doubt about this, and therefore, he would not show any mercy.
Sensing the terrifying aura, the Temple Master's face turned ashen. He had intended to say more, but found no opportunity. Lu Fan's formidable presence indicated that he was truly serious.
The faces of the elder monks of the Temple of the Heavenly Gods were ashen. Lu Fan's actions were shocking to them, as no one had ever dared to act like this in the Heavenly Palace.
"The matter has come to this point, and your Temple of the Heavenly Gods still has such a tough mouth?" Liu Ruyan sneered coldly. "If you kneel and beg for mercy, there might still be a possibility of forgiveness. Otherwise, you'll likely meet your demise!"
The people of the Temple of the Heavenly Gods exchanged glances, their expressions extremely grim. Lu Fan's behavior left them bewildered.
Boom...
A thunderous roar echoed. With this sound, the people of the Temple of the Heavenly Gods were also annihilated, and numerous monks of the Temple of the Heavenly Gods met their end.
Lu Fan did not hold back at all. The Temple of the Heavenly Gods had thoroughly angered him, and he would not easily let it go.
Sensing this aura, the Temple Master of the Heavenly Gods surged with spiritual energy, attempting to forcefully resist. However, before Lu Fan, it proved utterly insignificant.
"You are no match for me, and you are destined to die today!"
Lu Fan revealed a cold smile, filled with chilling intent. At this juncture, it was all the fault of the Temple of the Heavenly Gods for their own recklessness. Lu Fan would not indulge them.
At that very moment, the Haotian Tower violently struck the Temple Master of the Heavenly Gods, sending him flying and simultaneously killing him on the spot.
Witnessing this scene, many present gasped in surprise and disbelief. They had never expected Lu Fan's strength to be so formidable, nor for the Temple of the Heavenly Gods to end up in such a state.
Liu Shuqin was also shocked by the sight. As a person from Jiangbei, she had a good understanding of the Temple of the Heavenly Gods. No one dared to act recklessly within its domain, and only Lu Fan possessed such audacity.
A great fire blazed within the Temple of the Heavenly Gods, and its people were utterly destroyed. As for Lu Fan's strength, they were all profoundly impressed.
Despite the many experts in the Temple of the Heavenly Gods, they were easily subdued by Lu Fan, making them seem quite inept.
Concurrently, Lu Fan's expression remained indifferent. If the Temple of the Heavenly Gods had not been so ignorant of their own limitations, he would not have acted this way. At this point, there was no one to blame but themselves.
"The Temple of the Heavenly Gods has been wiped out!"
Standing stunned, Liu Ruoshuang's expression shifted slightly. She was well aware of what this meant. In the future, Lu Fan would likely face great danger in the Northwest.
She understood that the Temple of the Heavenly Gods was no ordinary force.
"Why are you still standing there?" Lu Fan gave a sideways glance. "Now that the Nine Dragon Grass has been obtained, we should leave!"
"But at the Temple of the Heavenly Gods..." the Lord of Yuncheng frowned. "There will likely be trouble in the future..."
"So what?" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, as if he gave it no thought.
Seeing Lu Fan's demeanor, the Lord of Yuncheng did not press further. He also understood that although Lu Fan had made all the necessary preparations for his actions, at this point, there was nothing else to be done.
At the same time, many people throughout the Jiangbei urban area watched with astonishment. The Temple of the Heavenly Gods had been a dominant force in Jiangbei, and they were shocked to see it annihilated today, especially in such a brutal manner.
"Are you leaving?" Liu Shuqin asked. "I heard that the Temple of the Heavenly Gods has a powerful force backing it. You must be more careful in the future!"
"Thank you for your concern. I have my own plans for this matter," Lu Fan nodded, without seeming too concerned. Since it was his doing, he would not regret it.
As for any trouble that might arise from behind the scenes, he was ready to face it. As the Northwest King of the Heavenly Court, he was fearless.
After leaving Jiangbei City, Lu Fan arrived at the Medicine Immortal Valley. Outside the valley, young disciples guarded the mountain gate, allowing no one entry. Many people had come seeking medical treatment but were forced to stop at the gate.
"Tell that old man to come out!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "I have found the Nine Dragon Grass!"
"Really?" The Daoist disciple looked at Lu Fan with some suspicion. If this were true, it would be excellent news.
After all, his Valley Master had spent considerable effort searching for the Nine Dragon Grass.
Lu Fan paid no mind to this statement and directly walked towards the mountain gate. The other people present also tried to enter, but were blocked by the Daoist disciple.
