"Those who accomplish great things do not concern themselves with trivial matters!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor sneered, "To gain something, one must pay a price!"
"I truly am inferior to you!"
The Dragon Emperor mocked, "No wonder you possess such ambition!"
"Of course, you are naturally inferior to me!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor's face was filled with arrogance. He had grand aspirations and would not be bothered by such minor details.
However, as they were conversing, Princess Linglong brought Prince Shangguan to the city wall, escorting him.
Everyone present stopped their actions, and upon seeing the scene before them, they grew worried.
"Father!"
Prince Shangguan looked at the person before him and softly called out, his heart deeply touched. He never expected that his father and son would meet on this city wall.
The Nine Heavens Emperor frowned and simultaneously looked at the Dragon Emperor, "Speak, what are your conditions for releasing my son!"
"The Nine Heavens Dynasty withdraws from the White Dragon Territory and guarantees never to encroach again!"
The Dragon Emperor stated directly, "Only then can I release him!"
"You know, that is impossible!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor's expression was indifferent. Prince Shangguan had been raised by him, and he had deep feelings for him. If not for that, why would he care.
"Since that is the case, there is nothing more to say!"
The Dragon Emperor sneered, his expression becoming even colder. He had long been disgusted by the actions of the Nine Heavens Dynasty. If the Nine Heavens Dynasty insisted on a fight to the death, he would not show any mercy.
"Nine Heavens Emperor, I will give you more time to consider!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "I hope you will consider carefully. If you remain stubborn, Prince Shangguan will surely meet his demise today. What will you do then?"
"Hmph, do not threaten me!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor sneered, "It is my son's honor to die for the dynasty today!"
Upon hearing these words, Prince Shangguan trembled. He could never have imagined that his father would be so unconcerned with familial affection.
In the face of power, he seemed to be a pawn that could be discarded at any moment.
"Father, am I truly your biological son?"
Prince Shangguan spoke, his heart filled with grief and indignation. He had never thought of surviving alone and had even prepared to die with the nation. However, the words of the Nine Heavens Emperor left him with a complex mix of emotions.
"My son, the bigger picture is what matters!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor said hoarsely, "Father will definitely flatten the White Dragon Dynasty!"
"Since that is the case, your son congratulates father on his success!"
Prince Shangguan bowed slightly, but suddenly, blood spilled from his mouth, and he collapsed.
"What is happening?"
Princess Linglong was startled and at a loss.
"He bit his tongue and committed suicide!" Lu Fan muttered, as if he had already known this outcome.
"My son!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor roared in anger and lunged towards Prince Shangguan's corpse, his voice filled with terrifying rage.
The others from the Nine Heavens Dynasty also felt a sense of grief. How could a prince of a dynasty die such an ignoble death.
"To sacrifice even one's own kin for power, I am truly enlightened!"
Lu Fan spoke with mockery, his words lacking any reservation.
"It was you, you caused my son's death!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor glared fiercely at Lu Fan, his eyes filled with murderous intent. If Lu Fan had not arrived, Prince Shangguan would not have been taken out, and this incident would not have happened. It was all because of Lu Fan.
"You cannot say that. I warned you earlier. If you insisted on clinging to your power, Prince Shangguan's life would naturally be lost!" Lu Fan stated directly, "You cannot blame this on me now!"
"Hmph, my son is dead, and I will make you pay with your life!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor snorted coldly, his murderous intent towards Lu Fan endless. If Lu Fan had not come, Prince Shangguan might not have died such a tragic death, and there might have been a chance of survival.
Unfortunately, Lu Fan's appearance had changed everything, and he naturally had to place the blame on Lu Fan.
"You actually have the nerve to live after forcing your only son to his death!"
Princess Linglong taunted, "If it were me, I would have committed suicide long ago!"
"My Lord, do not listen to his nonsense!"
Tian Sha spoke, his expression filled with reverence, "Now that the Prince is dead, you must make them pay the price so that the Prince can rest in peace!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor stared intently at Lu Fan, his figure soaring into the sky. In an instant, tens of thousands of flying swords converged above his head, emanating a terrifying aura.
"Fuma, be careful!"
The Dragon Emperor issued a reminder. The Nine Heavens Emperor was in a state of rage, and if he lost control, Lu Fan could be in mortal danger.
Lu Fan did not hesitate and fled for his life, not daring to delay even for a moment.
Although he now possessed the strength of an Earth Venerate, against a Heavenly Venerate, he was still no match. He would not do anything foolish.
"Trying to escape!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor sneered and instantly charged towards Lu Fan.
"Hmph!"
The Dragon Emperor snorted coldly, and the aura around him erupted. Lu Fan was the Fuma of the dynasty and had contributed to its battles. How could he allow Lu Fan to be harmed.
In an instant, the Dragon Emperor and the Nine Heavens Emperor clashed. Whether it was due to an impact on his mind, the Nine Heavens Emperor was no longer a match for the Dragon Emperor, and was even constantly retreating.
"Tian Sha and his men, intercept them with all your might!"
Tian Sha said coldly, "As long as we intercept the powerful figures of the White Dragon Dynasty, the Nine Heavens Dynasty will be victorious!"
Tian Sha's men nodded in unison, daring not to disobey in the slightest.
Now, most of the experts of the White Dragon Dynasty had perished. As for the soldiers, they were like ants in their eyes, not worth mentioning at all.
"Old fellow, you are already at the end of your rope. The White Dragon Dynasty's fate is sealed!"
Tian Sha said coldly, "Why cling on like this!"
"Even if I must die, I will not let you step into the dynasty!"
Steward Li's imposing aura was overwhelming, "Although this old man is physically incomplete, my will is not!"
"Well said!"
Tian Sha sneered, "Since that is the case, then I shall send you to the Western Heaven!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Sha soared into the sky, still emanating a powerful aura.
He and Steward Li were both Earth Venerate powerhouses, but Steward Li's strength was no match for Tian Sha. Now, he was confident he could kill Steward Li with a single blow.
With Steward Li's fall, the powerhouses of the Nine Heavens Dynasty became like a pack of wolves entering a flock of sheep; no one could stop them.
"Steward Li, go and rest for a while. Let me deal with him!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes and stood in front of Steward Li. He could not deal with the Nine Heavens Emperor, but he was confident in dealing with Tian Sha.
"Just you?"
Tian Sha's eyes flashed with coldness, and he looked disdainful, as if Lu Fan was insignificant in his eyes.
"What, am I not qualified?"
Lu Fan gave a cold smile, his expression becoming even colder, "The Nine Heavens Dynasty's invasion is driven by wolfish ambition. Now that they have done such things, I will let you know the pain of being bullied!"
Lu Fan's figure soared into the air, flames surging in his palm, and his aura instantly rose.
"Fuma, be careful!"
Steward Li was worried, as he knew very well that Tian Sha's strength was extraordinary.
