"Acting on orders?"
The Dragon Emperor was somewhat surprised. The Dynasty and the Divine Dragon Hall did not have much interaction. Under normal circumstances, the Divine Dragon Hall would not easily intervene.
"My lord, the rescue of the White Dragon Dynasty is complete. Can we return now?"
The Grand Elder clasped his fists, then looked at Lu Fan, his respect evident.
"Why the hurry!"
Lu Fan chuckled. "Although the people of the Nine Heavens Dynasty have left, they are still watching covetously. One day, they will surely return!"
"Your meaning, my lord?" The Grand Elder was surprised and looked towards Lu Fan.
"The opportunity is rare, you shall stay for a few days before returning!"
Lu Fan stated directly, "Accompany me to the Nine Heavens Dynasty!"
The Grand Elder trembled. He had not expected Lu Fan to say such a thing.
The Dragon Emperor stood by, displaying an embarrassed expression. Even he had not anticipated Lu Fan's words.
If the experts of the Divine Dragon Hall were present, even destroying the Nine Heavens Dynasty would be no challenge.
However, the Dragon Emperor knew that some matters were beyond their control, especially the current situation.
"My lord, this might not be appropriate!"
The Grand Elder said frankly, "If the Divine Dragon Hall truly follows you to conquer the Nine Heavens Dynasty, it might violate the Hall Master's intentions!"
"The Divine Dragon Token is here. Seeing the token is like seeing the Hall Master!"
Lu Fan produced the Divine Dragon Token, his expression even more calm.
The Grand Elder trembled and felt somewhat helpless. He had not expected Lu Fan to reveal the Divine Dragon Token.
"Grand Elder, I am not threatening you. If you are unwilling, I will go and speak with that old man!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "It seems this Divine Dragon Token is not as effective as imagined!"
The Grand Elder's expression shifted. "My lord, what you say is different. The Divine Dragon Token is a sacred object; seeing it is like seeing the Hall Master!"
"Since that is the case, why do you not obey the order?"
Lu Fan's expression was cold as he looked at the Grand Elder, his eyes icy. "Since the old man gave me the token, he naturally has his reasons. If you do not comply, you are going against his will!"
"This subordinate dares not!"
The Grand Elder quickly clasped his fists. "This subordinate is willing to go to the Nine Heavens Dynasty. Please, my lord, do not be angry!"
"Is that true?"
Lu Fan's joy was evident. This would be for the best.
"My lord holds the Divine Dragon Token. Even with all my courage, I would not dare to deceive you, my lord!"
The Grand Elder said quickly, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
Lu Fan was quite pleased. With the experts of the Divine Dragon Hall, it would be no problem for them to conquer the Nine Heavens Dynasty.
"By the way, you all should rest for a while. I am going to chase someone!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "This Tian Sha has a fire seed left by me. Escaping is not so easy!"
With that, Lu Fan's figure shot out and headed towards the outskirts of Tianxian City.
The Dragon Emperor stood frozen, his heart touched. If it weren't for Lu Fan this time, the entire Dynasty would likely have been destroyed.
The Grand Elder wore a bitter expression. This trip to the Nine Heavens Dynasty would surely result in casualties among the experts of the Divine Dragon Hall. Unfortunately, Lu Fan held the Divine Dragon Token, and he could only obey.
On the border of the White Dragon Dynasty, Tian Sha landed abruptly, his body covered in wounds. He was at the end of his rope. If he hadn't desperately escaped, he would have certainly died today.
"White Dragon Dynasty, I will remember this debt!"
Tian Sha looked in the direction of Tianxian City, his eyes filled with a cold glint.
"You probably won't have that chance!"
A light laugh echoed, and Lu Fan appeared, with a playful tone.
"It's you!"
Tian Sha was startled. He had thought he had escaped to safety, but he had not expected Lu Fan to pursue him.
"You are tainted with my fire seed. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will still find you!" Lu Fan said coldly. "Invading the White Dragon Dynasty and expecting to return alive, there's no such good thing in this world!"
"I truly did not expect you to be so cunning in order to hunt me!"
Tian Sha sneered. "It is indeed fate that I failed to conquer the White Dragon Dynasty today!"
"Rest assured, I will complete what you could not!"
Lu Fan said with a cold smile. "The White Dragon Dynasty has already amassed a large army and is preparing to march towards the Nine Heavens Dynasty. This battle will result in great losses for the Nine Heavens Dynasty. Now is the best time!"
"You... you want to invade Nine Heavens!" Tian Sha's expression changed drastically. "Since ancient times, the White Dragon Dynasty has been invaded. When did it become your turn to invade other dynasties!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "If that is the case, I will let history begin anew. In three days, the army will march towards the Nine Heavens Dynasty!"
Tian Sha said nothing. He knew Lu Fan was telling the truth. Today, they had truly understood the overall national destiny of the White Dragon Dynasty.
Before Lu Fan could speak, Tian Sha committed suicide, unwilling to die at Lu Fan's hands.
Lu Fan showed no emotion as he looked at the corpse before him. In his heart, everyone from the Nine Heavens Dynasty deserved to die.
If it weren't for the Nine Heavens Dynasty, the people of the White Dragon Dynasty would not be in such a state.
After this battle, nearly a million people had died in the White Dragon Dynasty. This war was a bloody lesson for the White Dragon Dynasty.
Not long after, Lu Fan returned to Tianxian City. He looked at the corpses scattered everywhere, his expression shifting slightly.
Inside the main hall of Tianxian City, the Dragon Emperor sat on the main seat, looking at the few generals below with profound grief.
The three family heads who had accompanied him on the expedition had all met their deaths, dealing a significant blow to the entire White Dragon Dynasty.
"The驸马爷 is back!"
A voice rang out. Lu Fan entered the hall, and everyone looked at him. If it weren't for Lu Fan this time, the White Dragon Dynasty would likely have fallen.
"驸马, how is it?" the Dragon Emperor asked.
"It has been resolved!"
Lu Fan stated. "Now we can plan the next step!"
"Are we really going to attack?"
The Dragon Emperor trembled and looked at Lu Fan, hesitant. The White Dragon Dynasty had suffered countless casualties in this war, and as the ruler of a dynasty, he felt immense self-reproach.
"If we do not fight, there may be a next time!"
Lu Fan said directly. "The Nine Heavens Dynasty also owes the White Dragon Dynasty a blood debt!"
"This..."
The Dragon Emperor trembled. Lu Fan's words were entirely true.
"Please, Dragon Emperor, dispatch your troops!"
Li Guang clasped his fists. "My grandfather fought on the battlefield and died for the country. We will surely follow in his footsteps!"
"Please, Dragon Emperor, dispatch your troops!"
Zhao Tianyun and Lin Guoping clasped their fists. They now had only one thought: to avenge the blood feud and let the Nine Heavens Dynasty also experience the taste of being invaded.
"Good, very good!"
The Dragon Emperor laughed to the heavens. "The younger generation of my White Dragon Dynasty has finally produced upright and valiant young men!"
With that, the Dragon Emperor looked at Steward Li. "Pass down the order: three days from now, we will attack the Nine Heavens Dynasty. Even if it means mutual destruction, we must avenge this blood debt!"
