The Northwest County Princess’s gaze sharpened as she witnessed the scene before her, exuding an aura of authority. She never expected anyone to dare defy her, fueling her discontent.
However, as everyone had already departed, the Northwest County Princess, seething with rage, turned to several elders beside her and declared, "Deal with all of them! Let them know the consequences of offending the Northwest County Princess!"
"Your Highness, absolutely not!" the white-haired elder hastily clasped his hands. "This matter is of grave importance. If it escalates, the Dynasty will surely hold us accountable. It would be best not to proceed with such actions!"
"What, are my words no longer of any consequence?" the Northwest County Princess retorted coldly, her displeasure evident. Perhaps in her eyes, everyone was obligated to obey her, and no one could challenge her – that was the very essence of being the Northwest County Princess.
"Your Highness, please calm your anger. We are acting in your best interest!"
The others chimed in, their expressions growing solemn. For them, this was an exceptionally serious affair, one that could trigger endless trouble if mishandled.
"Very well, let them live!" The Northwest County Princess waved her hand. If this matter escalated, it would not bode well for her, and she saw no need to push it further.
Concurrently, the others nodded in agreement. Since the Northwest County Princess had spoken, they no longer needed to exert themselves. However, the events of the day had left a mark on their hearts, as this was no minor incident and could easily stir up trouble if mishandled.
Lu Fan and his companions had escaped, but a sense of unease lingered within them. Hunyuan Tianjiang had been captured, which was certainly not a good omen for them.
Upon their return to the Heavenly Soldier’s Mansion, Wuji Tianjiang and the others frowned, their expressions troubled. Hunyuan Tianjiang had been taken to the Northwest County Mansion. If this matter were to blow up, it would be difficult to resolve.
"Wuji, what are your thoughts on this?" Shenfeng Tianjiang asked, his brow furrowed. This matter concerned the entire Heavenly Soldier’s Mansion, and they dared not be careless.
"We will go to the Northwest County Mansion to demand his return!" Wuji Tianjiang stated directly, his eyes filled with anger. It seemed, in his eyes, that this was all perfectly justified.
"Indeed, let's go get him!"
The others nodded in unison, their expressions grave. They were well aware of the significance of this matter. If anything were to happen to Hunyuan Tianjiang, it would not be beneficial for the entire Northwest County Mansion.
After a brief discussion, the generals set off for the Northwest County Mansion without any delay. Hunyuan Tianjiang was a man of the Heavenly Soldier’s Mansion, and if anything befell him, they would not be able to account for it to the Mansion Lord. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Will the generals be alright?"
Ling'er voiced her concern, her expression shifting subtly. After all, the last time Xuan Di had offended the Bai family of the Northwest County, it had led to ruin. Now that Hunyuan Tianjiang had offended the Northwest County Governor, how could this matter be resolved?
"It's alright. They are all officials of the Dynasty, and the Heavenly Soldier's Mansion holds influence in the court. Under normal circumstances, no matter how arrogant the Northwest County Princess is, she wouldn't dare do anything to them!" Lu Fan waved his hand, his gaze calm.
Following Lu Fan's words, Ling'er and Zhao Xue nodded slightly, no longer saying anything more.
Shortly after the generals departed, Situ Jiannan arrived at the Heavenly Soldier’s Mansion with Situ Haoyue. Their arrival was ostentatious, without any attempt at concealment, and their eyes held a killing intent, drawing the attention of many within the mansion.
"Situ Jiannan has brought so many experts from the Situ family. Are they here for revenge?"
Many commented, observing the scene with surprise. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be like this.
Meanwhile, Situ Jiannan had already reached Lu Fan's location. He narrowed his eyes and said, "In the Immortal Tomb, you managed to escape death, young man. Now that you've come to this Heavenly Soldier's Mansion, I will surely make you understand the power of my Situ family!"
Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly as he looked at Situ Haoyue. "According to the rules of the Heavenly Soldier’s Mansion, outsiders cannot easily enter. You are violating the rules of the Heavenly Soldier’s Mansion to deal with me. Is it not too excessive? If the numerous generals of the Heavenly Soldier’s Mansion discover this, they will likely not let you off lightly."
"The generals of the Heavenly Soldier’s Mansion have already gone to the Northwest County Mansion and will not be here. You should give up hope. Today, you are bound to die, and no one can save you!" Situ Jiannan narrowed his eyes.
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan burst into laughter, a cold glint in his eyes. In his view, none of this mattered. Having reached this point, he certainly would not back down.
"Second Uncle, today we must make him pay the price. Otherwise, how can our Situ family maintain its dignity!" Situ Jiannan stated, his words carrying a significant implication. Many in the Heavenly Soldier’s Mansion frowned, clearly not expecting Situ Jiannan to be so brazen, bringing his uncle to the Heavenly Soldier’s Mansion was not something ordinary people could accomplish.
"You dare to be so arrogant? Today, I will make you pay the price!" As Situ Haoyue finished speaking, he lunged forward, exuding a powerful and unstoppable aura.
Sensing this aura, Lu Fan’s brow furrowed. Situ Haoyue, as a Half-Emperor, was ultimately stronger than him. If the fight were to continue for too long, he would surely be unable to cope, leading to unnecessary trouble.
"What do we do?" Zhao Xue frowned, looking towards Ling'er.
"I don't know either!" Ling'er shook her head, her expression fluctuating. Naturally, she had not expected things to turn out this way, catching them off guard.
Concurrently, Lu Fan’s gaze grew serious. He was well aware that some things could be done, while others could not. The current situation was certainly not good for them.
As time passed, Lu Fan continued to retreat, appearing to be at his limit. However, throughout the Heavenly Soldier’s Mansion, no one dared to intervene, and many even retreated further back. This was a personal vendetta, and they naturally would not get involved.
"You are destined to die today!" Situ Haoyue roared with laughter. In the blink of an eye, a streak of light was unleashed, surging towards Lu Fan with terrifying force.
Simultaneously, Lu Fan explosively retreated. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Even he hadn't anticipated such a complete defeat. Against a Half-Emperor, he was still caught off guard. Such a powerful expert was, after all, several tiers above him.
