Seeing Lu Fan's seriousness, the Fourth Elder said no more. After finishing the wine in his hand, he took Lu Fan towards the Dragon Country headquarters.
This matter was highly confidential and could not be known by anyone, otherwise there would be great problems. The Fourth Elder dared not be careless in this regard.
After a long while, Lu Fan and the two arrived at the Dragon Country headquarters and, led by the Usher, came to the Dragon Country's forbidden area.
"Fourth Elder, this matter is of great importance. If there is any slight oversight, it may affect the lifeline of the Dragon Country!" the Usher said, "Are you sure you want to enter this place?"
"If something really happens to the three elders of the Dragon Country, we must know!" the Fourth Elder said, "After so many years, I have always had doubts!"
"Since that is the case, I cannot stop you!" the Usher nodded slightly, "But Elder, you must be very careful. After all, within the forbidden area, there may be restrictions set by the three elders! When the three elders were in seclusion, they probably set up various restrictions, which is why you were told not to enter easily!"
"That's fine!" Lu Fan said, "My strength and that of the Fourth Elder are not weak. It won't be difficult to break through those restrictions!"
"You小子 (xiǎozi - kid) are quite confident!" the Usher glanced at him, "But I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think. These restrictions are far from as simple as you imagine!"
With these words, Lu Fan's brow furrowed, "Has the Usher been inside this forbidden area? Otherwise, why would he speak like this!"
"I haven't been inside!" the Usher smiled, "After so many years, the three elders have never gone out. How could we possibly go in!"
"Since that's the case, today, the Fourth Elder and I will break in!" Lu Fan smiled faintly, "I don't believe that the restrictions here can stop us!"
His eyes were indifferent, and Lu Fan's gaze became sharper. Although he had not yet reached the Battle Emperor realm, he was probably not far from it. Moreover, with Lu Fan's current strength, he was definitely a top-tier expert within the entire Dragon Country. If he couldn't even break through the restrictions, wouldn't he be laughed at?
"Since you want to break in, then break in!"
The Usher smiled faintly, his expression even more indifferent, as if he was ready to watch a show, or in his eyes, Lu Fan was too confident.
The Fourth Elder glanced at Lu Fan, turned around, and stepped into the restrictions. His eyes gradually became sharp. He knew very well how terrifying these restrictions were.
Upon entering the Dragon Country's forbidden area, powerful internal energies transformed into gusts of wind and attacked Lu Fan and the two. Wherever they passed, they brought an immense aura.
Seeing this scene, the Fourth Elder's face instantly turned grim. He had not expected such a vast aura within the restrictions. If they continued to persist like this, it would be a great challenge for them.
After all, he knew very well how terrifying the Dragon Country's forbidden area was. Just a single sharp sword energy would have turned an ordinary Battle Spirit expert into powder.
At this moment, Lu Fan's expression also became uncertain. He had originally thought it would not be difficult to break in, but now it seemed to be beyond his expectations.
"How can the Dragon Country's forbidden area have such powerful restrictions? If so, who set up these restrictions, and how did the three elders enter them!" Lu Fan said, "What hidden secrets are there!"
"Lu小子 (xiǎozi - kid), you don't know, the three elders have heaven-reaching power. In the past, they were blessed by the national destiny and set up restrictions that we cannot contend with." The Fourth Elder said with a bitter smile, "Within the entire forbidden area, there are three layers of restrictions. This is only the first layer, and it has already bound us so much. By the third layer, we will probably be crushed into dust." Su Dan Novel Network
Lu Fan's face instantly turned ugly. It seemed that entering the cave mansion was impossible. At least with their strength, they could not overcome such restrictions. If they really wanted to enter the cave mansion, they could only think of other ways.
At this moment, within the forbidden area, numerous stones turned into powder, being cut by the invisible sword energy, which looked quite terrifying. Even an ordinary Battle King expert would be severely injured if they were here, and this was only the first layer.
"This is the Dragon Country headquarters. Why does the Dragon Country's forbidden area have such terrifying restrictions!"
Lu Fan said in surprise, "Are the three elders afraid of something!"
"These restrictions were set up in the early years. Except for the three elders, no one can easily enter the Dragon Country's forbidden area. This is also to prevent experts from other countries from ambushing them when the three elders are in seclusion!" the Fourth Elder said.
Facing these words, Lu Fan was completely helpless. He had been full of confidence at first, but now he felt like he had no will to live.
Seeing Lu Fan and the Fourth Elder leave the Dragon Country's forbidden area, the Usher finally smiled, "How about it? I was right, wasn't I? The Dragon Country's forbidden area is not a place you can just enter if you want to!"
Facing these words, Lu Fan frowned, "The Usher is in charge of all matters of the Dragon Country headquarters. He must have a way to enter this Dragon Country forbidden area!"
"You are mistaken. Although I am the Usher of the Dragon Country headquarters, the restrictions in this forbidden area were not set by me, and even I cannot do it!" the Usher said directly, "For more than ten years, no one has wanted to enter the forbidden area to check on the three elders. I think you should not break this peace."
"I also consider what the Usher said!" the Fourth Elder nodded, "But this matter is probably not that simple. If we cannot clarify this matter, the Dragon Country may be in peril!"
"Even if you enter the forbidden area, what will happen if you do not see the three elders alive?" the Usher smiled, "At that time, the Dragon Country will truly be in peril!"
The Fourth Elder trembled slightly, and his expression changed slightly. What the Usher said was indeed true. They did not know if the three elders were alive now, but at least they still had a glimmer of hope. If the truth was revealed, the entire Dragon Country might lose all will to fight.
"Since the Usher has spoken so clearly, let's not go in!" Lu Fan smiled, "As the Usher said, some things should not be investigated too deeply. It may not be a good thing to know the truth!"
"That would be for the best!" the Usher nodded slightly, "What is most important for you now is to establish diplomatic relations with other countries. This way, you can jointly resist the Cang Qiong Country. Otherwise, even if the three elders are not harmed, you may not be able to resist the invasion of powerful enemies!"
"The Usher's words have enlightened me!" the Fourth Elder nodded and cupped his hands, "We shall take our leave now and not disturb the Usher, as I have other matters to attend to!"
