"Senior brother, have you sensed that brat's presence?"
Shangqing Zhenren asked, his expression turning serious. Since arriving in the Tri-Domain, they had been searching for Lu Fan's whereabouts, even coming to Cangying City.
"Indeed, I have sensed that brat's presence!" Yuanqing Zhenren nodded. "But it has vanished again. Could that brat know we are here?"
"If that's the case, won't it be like startling the snake into the grass?" Shangqing Zhenren frowned slightly. "If so, catching that brat will not be easy!"
"That's no matter. We came out after all, it's fine to return a bit later!" Elder Yuanqing chuckled. "As long as we can deal with that brat, the princess will be at ease, and we can report back!"
The other two old men nodded, understanding this well.
After Lu Fan and his group left Cangying City, they headed towards the Tieshan Sect. However, from a distance, they saw thick smoke billowing from within the Tieshan Sect, unsure of what had happened.
"Sir, something major must have happened at the Tieshan Sect!" Hu Yu spoke. "It's not good for us to go there!"
"It must be the Beiji Sect attacking the Tieshan Sect!" Xiao Hong's expression changed. He then cupped his fists towards Lu Fan. "This matter has nothing to do with you, Sir. You don't need to get involved. But as a disciple of the Tieshan Sect, I cannot stand by idly!"
With that, Xiao Hong transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the Tieshan Sect. As a disciple of the Tieshan Sect, he naturally did not wish to see his sect threatened.
"Sir, let's go!" Hu Yu reminded him. "The Tri-Domain is very chaotic. There are many things we probably can't manage!"
"We stayed at the Tieshan Sect for these past few days and received great hospitality!" Lu Fan stated directly. "If we leave now, it would be rather ungracious!"
"This is a sectarian conflict!" Hu Yu frowned. "Why must you get involved, Sir!"
"There are things you don't understand," Lu Fan shook his head. "One must still value friendship. The Tieshan Sect is in great trouble. If I can help, why not do so!"
"Since you say so, Sir, I have nothing more to say!" Hu Yu pouted. "But Sir, you must be careful, lest something happens. It would be troublesome then."
Lu Fan nodded slightly, but his figure shot up into the sky, his gaze becoming sharper. Outside the Tieshan Sect, the scene was already a mess, with the corpses of many disciples scattered everywhere. On the peak of the Tieshan Sect, everyone was filled with despair and sorrow, never expecting such a disaster to befall the Tieshan Sect.
"Now that your situation is dire, why not surrender quickly!" An elder from the Beiji Sect said coldly, exuding an immense aura, as if the Beiji Sect were the greatest sect in the entire universe.
"Ridiculous! Our Tieshan Sect is also a renowned major sect in the Tri-Domain. Why would we compromise with your Beiji Sect!" The Sect Master of Tieshan Sect retorted coldly. "Today, your Beiji Sect has produced a Earth Venerable expert. Our Tieshan Sect has nothing more to say, but it's impossible to make the Tieshan Sect yield!"
"Have you considered the many disciples of the Tieshan Sect?" The Sect Master of Beiji Sect sneered. "Now, the Tieshan Sect has suffered countless casualties. If this continues, there might not be a good outcome!"
"As disciples of the Tieshan Sect, we would rather die defending the Tieshan Sect!" A disciple said coldly, his expression serious. At this time of great difficulty for the Tieshan Sect, how could they surrender.
"Since you all wish to die, then I shall grant you your wish!" The Sect Master of Beiji Sect sneered, radiating a powerful aura that permeated the entire Tieshan Sect.
"The Sect Master is already heavily injured. We must fight to the death!" Tieshan Bao looked at the other elders. "Do any of you elders have any objections?"
"The Sect Master is already heavily injured. How can we retreat!" The elders responded. "Today, we will fight with all our might. If we die here, it is our destiny. We have no regrets."
"Good, then we shall fight together!" Tieshan Bao nodded solemnly, a sharp glint in his eyes. Now that the Tieshan Sect was besieged, they were the pillars of the Tieshan Sect. If even they were afraid and retreated, the entire Tieshan Sect would become a laughingstock.
"Truly seeking death." The Sect Master of Beiji Sect sneered. "How can you possibly contend with our Beiji Sect with just you? Today, we will kill you all and let you know the consequences of offending the Beiji Sect."
Following these words, many experts from the Beiji Sect stepped forward, exuding powerful auras. This time, they had come with a resolve to die, hence their combat power had risen dramatically, far beyond what the Tieshan Sect could contend with.
"Heaven itself wishes to destroy my Tieshan Sect." The Sect Master of Tieshan Sect roared, filled with unwillingness. He never imagined that the Tieshan Sect would meet such a tragic end.
Just as they were about to clash, a terrifying aura suddenly arrived at the Tieshan Sect. The person who arrived was Lu Fan. "The elder of the Beiji Sect was killed by me. It has nothing to do with the Tieshan Sect. If you have any grievances, you can come at me."
The numerous experts of the Beiji Sect looked at Lu Fan, their hearts stirred. They did not expect Lu Fan to dare to come alone and say such words, completely disregarding the Beiji Sect.
"Did you kill Elder Hu Qiu?" The Sect Master of Beiji Sect asked, looking at Lu Fan with sharp eyes and an unhappy expression.
"That's right, I killed him!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. "Since I did it, I naturally admit it. As for how you want to deal with me, you'll have to show your capabilities."
"You speak with quite the arrogant tone!" The Sect Master of Beiji Sect said coldly. "However, since you were able to kill Elder Hu Yuqiu, your strength must be extraordinary. But today is a matter of sectarian enmity, and it has nothing to do with you. I hope you do not overstep your bounds."
"Truly a joke!" Lu Fan sneered. "Since I have appeared, I naturally cannot ignore this matter. There's no need for you to say more. Show me your abilities if you have any."
The Sect Master of Beiji Sect frowned. He was worried that Lu Fan's strength would be too great and affect their annihilation of the Tieshan Sect. However, he never expected Lu Fan to be so direct, completely disregarding them.
"What an arrogant brat!" An old man with white hair said coldly. "You killed someone from my Beiji Sect and dare to be so presumptuous. You are the first person I've ever seen like this."
"So what?" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "There is nothing I want to do that I cannot achieve."
"Sir Lu, this matter has nothing to do with you," the Sect Master of Tieshan Sect said repeatedly. "You should leave quickly! The Sect Master of Beiji Sect is already an Earth Venerable expert, with extremely terrifying strength. If you are not careful, you will be in trouble."
"Rest assured, Sect Master Tieshan. Since I dared to appear, I did not take them seriously." Lu Fan waved his hand. "Otherwise, why would I act so rashly?"
Seeing Lu Fan's words, the Sect Master of Tieshan Sect frowned but did not say much more.
