"According to your words, the Outer Domain Battlefield seems even more terrifying than imagined!" Han Yunhai said seriously.
"If it weren't terrifying, why would it be feared!" Lu Fan said in a deep voice, "With this trip to the Outer Domain Battlefield, the Qingyun Sect will surely be reborn!"
"Is your meticulous planning all for dealing with the shadowy figure?" Han Yunhai asked.
"Not just the shadowy figure!" Lu Fan frowned, "The Dragon Country shows weakness, and the Outer Domain Battlefield has suffered heavy blows repeatedly. If there were a powerful martial artist supporting it, the situation would not be like this. We are all people of the Dragon Country, how can we watch the Dragon Country be insulted by others!"
Han Yunhai trembled, his eyes filled with excitement. Lu Fan's words had instantly touched him.
"By the way, have there been any updates on the elder's whereabouts?" Lu Fan suddenly asked, "I've already promised my second uncle that I must find my eldest uncle and grandmother!"
"The Qingyun Sect's influence is widespread, but after all, they went into hiding eighteen years ago, making it quite difficult to find them!" Han Yunhai gave a wry smile, "If there is any news, I will inform you immediately!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly and said no more.
If he could find his grandmother and the others sooner, it would also allow his second uncle and the others to reunite, which was also a knot in Lu Fan's heart.
If it weren't for the Lu family back then, the Yang family wouldn't have been implicated. This was why Lu Fan cared so much.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Chu Prefecture, Yang Shiwen looked at Yang Zixin and said, "Zixin, tell your dad honestly, what exactly does Xiao Fan do?"
"Dad, why are you suddenly asking this!"
Yang Zixin was cracking sunflower seeds, his expression changing.
"Xiao Fan has been an orphan since childhood, and no one has disciplined him!" Yang Shiwen said in a deep voice, "How can he have such great capabilities?"
"Perhaps he encountered some opportunity!" Yang Zixin said casually, "Dad, don't worry about it. Xiao Fan is very capable, and nothing will happen to him!"
"Has this child gone down some crooked path?" Yang Shiwen's words were solemn.
When Lu Fan easily produced millions back then, he already felt something was not right. Later events made him even more suspicious.
"Dad, stop imagining things!" Yang Zixin gave a wry smile, "Xiao Fan would never go down a crooked path. I promise you, there are some things I can't tell you, so don't ask about them!"
After speaking, Yang Zixin walked towards the room. Lu Fan was no longer the same as before, but he had promised Lu Fan not to reveal anything, lest Yang Shiwen worry, which was why he kept his mouth shut.
As the sky gradually darkened, in the Jiangjing Villa, Han Qiushui, filled with doubt, came to Lu Fan's room. "Master, Xiao Jia has been out for a day and hasn't returned. This has never happened before. Could something have happened?"
"She still hasn't returned?"
Lu Fan got up, his brow furrowed.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be worried. It was only Lin Xiaojia. Lu Fan knew very well that Lin Xiaojia's background was unusual. If experts from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains came, she would surely be in trouble.
"She still hasn't returned!" Han Qiushui shook her head.
Lu Fan said nothing more and had Han Yunhai investigate. The Qingyun Sect had many experts within Chu Prefecture. If anything happened, they would surely sense it.
For a moment, everyone's hearts were filled with anxiety. Under normal circumstances, Lin Xiaojia would never be this late in returning, and this had never happened before.
"Where did the strange old man go?" Lu Fan suddenly asked in surprise.
"The strange old man's whereabouts are always unpredictable," Gu Wen said, "He must have gone somewhere to play again. However, he didn't leave with Lin Xiaojia."
Lu Fan's expression changed instantly. If that were the case, this matter would be tricky.
Everyone waited in the hall. After a long time, Han Yunhai arrived. "The Qingyun Sect experts have investigated and found traces of Grandmaster fighting in the nearby forest!"
"Grandmaster fighting?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "The Arctic Tribe truly doesn't know its limits!"
"Sir, if it is indeed the Arctic Tribe, what should we do?" Han Yunhai asked, "After all, the Ten Thousand Great Mountains are full of experts, and they are forbidden grounds for us."
"Summon a hundred Grandmasters from the Qingyun Sect. If it is indeed the Arctic Tribe, I don't mind destroying them!"
Lu Fan's words were filled with killing intent. If it were before, he might not have had this confidence, but now his strength had greatly increased, and the Qingyun Sect had a hundred Grandmasters. Such a powerful aura was not something others could block.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Han Yunhai cupped his fists, his eyes filled with excitement. The Qingyun Sect had never fought a battle since having a hundred Grandmasters. Now that Lu Fan was going to deal with the Arctic Tribe, it would surely be a formidable display.
"Master, I heard that the Ten Thousand Great Mountains are filled with tribes," Gu Wen stepped forward and said, "Should we clarify this matter before making a decision!"
"No need!" Lu Fan waved his hand, "Besides the Arctic Tribe, no one else would dare to touch Lin Xiaojia. I promised Granny Viper that I would never let anything happen to her!"
Gu Wen nodded and didn't say much more. This was Lu Fan's decision, and he could only obey silently. However, with a hundred Grandmasters in the Qingyun Sect, they had nothing to fear.
"A hundred Grandmasters are dispatched." Han Qiushui was shocked, "What a mighty aura! Perhaps only the Qingyun Sect in the entire Dragon Country possesses such strength."
The Qingyun Sect now undoubtedly held a pivotal position within the Dragon Country, even possessing the power to destroy the heavens and earth with a mere gesture.
And not long after, in the core region of the Dragon Country headquarters, several elders sat opposite each other, their brows furrowed.
"Is this news reliable? The Qingyun Sect is going to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains?"
"Elders, the news is absolutely true." Long Aotian cupped his fists, "Lord Lu's actions might stir up trouble. After all, there are hidden forces in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains that even the Dragon Country fears. If he acts rashly, it will cause great inconvenience."
"In that case, it is indeed inappropriate." The Ninth Elder nodded, and the other elders followed suit.
The relationship between the Dragon Country and the Sea Country was delicate. If they disagreed, a great war would ensue. In such a situation, the headquarters of the forces within the Dragon Country would be even more hesitant to offend them, as it would cause a huge stir if a war broke out.
"I will go personally!" The Ninth Elder said, "That kid has a temper, but as an elder of the Dragon Country, he should give me some face."
The other elders exchanged glances and nodded. This was a sensitive period, and no mistakes could be made.
"I will accompany the Ninth Elder!" Long Aotian cupped his fists.
"Wait!"
The Fourth Elder waved his hand, "I think you'd better not go. If he has truly decided to go to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, he must have his reasons. Even if you go, it will be of no use."
"The Ten Thousand Great Mountains are full of experts and terrifying forces," Long Aotian said repeatedly, "If we do not intervene, it will surely cause trouble."
Long Aotian's words were sharp. He knew very well that Lu Fan had close ties with the Dragon Country. If he were to clash with any force, it would inevitably affect the Dragon Country's relationship with that force.
