"I didn't want to make a move against you, but you insisted on provoking a conflict," Lu Fan waved his hand. "Now that you are prisoners, I won't be so kind!"
"Lord Lu, you might not understand yet. Besides these shortcomings, there are even more powerful forces in the Ten Thousand Mountains," the Purple Moon Clan Chief said quickly. "Has Your Excellency heard of the Heavenly Cloud Hall?"
"I actually haven't!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Are you trying to use him to scare me?"
"This junior dares not!" the Purple Moon Clan Chief quickly said with a smile. "It's just that the Heavenly Cloud Hall has vast power, and the Hall Master has decreed that within the Ten Thousand Mountains, no one else is allowed to interfere!"
"So what?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "I don't care about any Heavenly Cloud Hall. Wherever I am, I must be respected! If I tell you to release someone, you must release them, or face death."
Han Yunhai frowned slightly and came to Lu Fan's side. "My Lord, I have heard of the Heavenly Cloud Hall. If what he says is true, we might not gain any advantage in the Ten Thousand Mountains. It's better to cut our losses. As long as they release Miss Lin, this matter can be put aside!"
"As long as Lord Lu spares my life, I will release them immediately!" the Arctic Clan Chief said repeatedly, filled with pleading.
Lu Fan's strength was too great, and he was utterly incapable of dealing with it. Most importantly, the Southern Pole Clan Chief had been killed by Lu Fan in an instant. He didn't want to become the next Southern Pole Clan Chief.
"If you knew this would happen, why did you act this way before?" Han Qiushui sneered. "If you hadn't been like this before, we wouldn't have had to take action!"
"It was I who was unappreciative and offended Lord Lu!" the Arctic Clan Chief said sincerely. "I only beg Your Excellency to spare my life."
"What if I say no?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, his expression growing colder. Having mobilized such a large force from Chu Prefecture to this place, how could he let it go?
The two clan chiefs trembled. Seeing Lu Fan's words, they feared he would not let them off. If that were the case, it would be a terrifying blow to them.
"Lord Lu, this matter has nothing to do with the Purple Moon Tribe," the Purple Moon Clan Chief said repeatedly. "As long as Your Excellency spares my life, I will certainly follow your lead and dare not defy you!"
"Is that true?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "If that is the case, I can consider it."
"I swear to the heavens that I will only be loyal to Your Excellency from now on and dare not violate your will!" the Purple Moon Clan Chief said, cupping his fists. As a clan leader, he had to consider his tribesmen.
"Since you are so sincere, I will trust you this once," Lu Fan nodded slightly. "But if you have any ulterior motives in the future, I will exterminate your entire tribe!"
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for sparing my life!"
The Purple Moon Clan Chief cupped his fists, filled with emotion. The Southern Pole Clan Chief had died before his eyes, and he knew very well that Lu Fan feared nothing and acted decisively, without any hesitation. How could such a person be threatened?
"The Arctic Tribe also wishes to submit to Lord Lu!" the Arctic Clan Chief said repeatedly. "From now on, I will follow your lead. If Your Excellency tells me to go east, I will never go west!"
"That probably won't do!" Lu Fan shook his head. "I came to the Ten Thousand Mountains today with such a grand display, and you took action against me. Now that we've reached this point, it's too late to back down."
"Please, Your Excellency, show mercy!"
The Arctic Clan Chief's posture was extremely low, and his face was ashen. Lu Fan's words displeased him greatly, but he had to bow his head when under someone else's roof. He was no match for Lu Fan and could only act this way.
"The Arctic Tribe is the enemy that caused Xiao Jia's clan to be annihilated! How could I let you go!"
Lu Fan's expression instantly turned cold. "It's time for your Arctic Tribe to bear the consequences of your mistakes!" Su Dan Novel Network
"I begged you earnestly, yet you still refuse to spare my life."
The Arctic Clan Chief's expression turned cold. "If you dare to annihilate my tribe in the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Heavenly Cloud Hall will not let this matter rest."
"Purple Moon, now is the time to show your loyalty!" Lu Fan sneered. "Kill him! Annihilate the Arctic Tribe."
The Purple Moon Clan Chief trembled and looked at the Arctic Clan Chief. His face was filled with innocence. "Arctic, you cannot blame me for this. It is what it is. If you hadn't forced my two tribes to come, things would not have turned out this way. Forgive me for not showing mercy due to our past relationship!"
The Purple Moon Clan Chief drew his sword, his heart filled with helplessness.
He had just sworn allegiance to Lu Fan and naturally could not go back on his word.
The Arctic Clan Chief's face turned ashen, and he leaped up abruptly, fleeing into the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
He knew very well that the only one who could save his life now was the Heavenly Cloud Hall. If he didn't escape, he would have no chance.
"Everyone, listen to my orders, pursue the Arctic!"
The Purple Moon Clan Chief issued his command and pursued with all his might. He knew very well that if the Arctic escaped, he would also be held responsible.
The many Grandmasters of the Arctic Tribe, seeing that the situation was hopeless, also fled in all directions. The Grandmasters of the Azure Cloud Sect pursued them, intercepting quite a few.
"My Lord, should we pursue them?" Han Yunhai asked.
"There's no need. The Arctic Clan Chief is heavily injured, but he won't be able to escape," Lu Fan waved his hand. "I don't think Purple Moon would dare betray me!"
"Why is Master so confident?" Han Qiushui asked in surprise.
"In the face of absolute strength, people are ultimately confident," Lu Fan shrugged. "After all, a person whose spirit is broken by fear wouldn't dare betray their master!"
Everyone exchanged glances, and they agreed with Lu Fan's words.
Lu Fan did not pursue but headed towards the Arctic Tribe's dungeon, where Lin Xiaojia was imprisoned.
In the dungeon, Lin Xiaojia was tied to a stone pillar, her eyes filled with anticipation. She could clearly sense that a great battle had taken place in the Arctic Tribe, and Lu Fan had come to rescue her.
As expected, at the moment of her anticipation, a figure arrived in the dungeon, followed by others.
"Are you alright!"
Lu Fan looked at Lin Xiaojia. "It's my dereliction of duty that allowed things to escalate to this point! I have failed Grandma Snake."
"I am already very grateful that Brother Lu has come to save me!" Lin Xiaojia said excitedly. "I never imagined that Brother Lu would mobilize a hundred Grandmasters of the Azure Cloud Sect just to save me."
"Silly girl, if I don't act, who else will?" Lu Fan rolled his eyes and untied Lin Xiaojia. "Don't worry, with me by your side from now on, no one will ever bully you again!"
Lin Xiaojia nodded excitedly, her eyes glistening with tears.
Lu Fan's words were enough to stir a warmth in her heart.
"Let's go. The Arctic Tribe has been razed to the ground," Lu Fan said with a smile. "You can be considered to have avenged your family."
"Razed to the ground?" Lin Xiaojia looked astonished. She only knew that Lu Fan had brought a hundred Grandmasters, but she didn't know that the Arctic Tribe had been leveled.
When she came outside, Lin Xiaojia looked at the scene before her with shock and disbelief. This was the Arctic Tribe, a powerful existence within the Ten Thousand Mountains.
