Jiang Meili nodded solemnly. Enjoying a good life within the Dragon Country, she had completely failed to grasp the terror of the outer battlefield. Now, she could deeply feel it and finally empathize.
After the Black Bear Country was annihilated, everyone felt considerably relaxed, their expressions even more indifferent. The fate of the Black Bear Country was entirely self-inflicted.
"Master, many martial arts experts from the Black Bear Country died tragically. However, if this matter is pursued, the Azure Sky Country will likely not let it go!"
Gu Wen spoke, "Should we cover our tracks and make some arrangements? That way, the Azure Sky Country won't know! At least, they won't have sufficient evidence."
"The Black Bear Country attacked the Dragon Country. This is a foregone conclusion, so why should we make any cover-ups?"
Lu Fan said coldly, "The Black Bear Country struck first, so how could the Dragon Country not retaliate? Wouldn't that be unreasonable!"
"This..." Gu Wen was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to speak like this, which made him feel a little surprised.
"Lord Lu is correct!"
Long Aotian said in a deep voice, "No matter how we try to cover this up, everyone will know it was the Dragon Country's doing, and how could the Azure Sky Country not know!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Not only should they know, but we should announce it loudly!" Lu Fan said coldly, "Let them know that the Dragon Country is not to be trifled with. We repay kindness with kindness and vengeance with vengeance!"
"You speak wisely, sir!" Han Bing nodded, "The Dragon Country and the Azure Sky Country have long since fallen out. We don't need to consider their feelings. This time, destroying the Black Bear Country serves as a warning to them. If they truly wish to annex the Dragon Country, they will have to pay a heavy price!"
The other members of the Dragon Group also agreed, understanding this point clearly. A single strong punch prevents a hundred blows. If one is constantly bullied, they will eventually be annexed by other countries.
Only by being strong can one command the fear of other nations. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Meanwhile, at the Dragon Country Headquarters, the Ninth Elder frowned and entered the conference room. "I just received news that the Azure Cloud Sect is not in the Dragon Capital! Little Lu is also missing. Could something have happened!"
"Not in the Dragon Capital?" The Fourth Elder frowned. "Have the Dragon Group investigate where this kid has gone. The celebration banquet is about to begin, and he is the protagonist. If he doesn't come, it will be meaningless!"
"More importantly, the Dragon Group is also missing!"
The Ninth Elder said helplessly, "I've already sent people to look, but unfortunately, they can't find any trace of them!"
"Did they leave the Dragon Country?" The Fifth Elder was surprised. "If that's the case, where did they go? Both the Azure Cloud Sect and the Dragon Group are missing. Could they have acted without authorization!"
"Go and inquire about the news from the Black Bear Country!"
The Fourth Elder was suddenly startled and then spoke. During the outer battlefield, Lu Fan had vowed not to let the Black Bear Country off. Now, many experts from the Azure Cloud Sect were missing, and even the Dragon Group was not in the Dragon Capital. This likely had something to do with the Black Bear Country.
"No need to check!"
Just then, the Seventh Elder walked in. "I manage the Dragon Country's intelligence network. I have the latest news here. Do you elders want to hear it?"
"Don't beat around the bush. This is a critical time!" The Ninth Elder said, "Any delay might lead to missed opportunities, especially since Little Lu is still immature and acts impulsively!"
"This kid is indeed heading to the Black Bear Country!" The Seventh Elder said helplessly, "And he is fiercely fighting with the Grand Elder of the Black Bear Country. The battle is fierce and evenly matched!"
"This kid is truly audacious!" The Ninth Elder frowned. "That's a major country. How dare he act without authorization! We must rush to support him and not let that kid suffer!"
However, the Fourth Elder waved his hand. "Little Lu always acts with a plan. Since he's going to the Black Bear Country, he must have investigated thoroughly. Moreover, the Grand Elder of the Black Bear Country might not be a match for that kid."
"But this is too dangerous!" The Ninth Elder's expression was serious. "A slight mistake could cause an uproar, even leading the Dragon Country to ruin!"
"If it weren't for this kid, the Dragon Country would likely have been ruined long ago!" The Fourth Elder narrowed his eyes. "If my guess is correct, the Black Bear Country is not far from annihilation!"
"As expected of the Fourth Elder, your guess is spot on!" The Seventh Elder nodded. "News from the outer battlefield indicates that the Black Bear Country has been annihilated, and it was done by Dragon Country warriors. Besides Little Lu, no one else has this capability!"
"Annihilation..."
The several elders stood up abruptly, their expressions filled with shock. They never imagined that Lu Fan possessed such strength, leading the Azure Cloud Sect to annihilate a major country. What a terrifying aura!
"Too amazing, this kid is too amazing!" The Fifth Elder was overjoyed. "On the day of the celebration banquet, I must toast him properly!"
"Well said!" The Seventh Elder nodded. "We all must toast him properly. If it weren't for him, the Dragon Country would surely perish. This kid even annihilated the Black Bear Country, truly bringing glory to the Dragon Country!"
"You can still laugh?" The Fourth Elder frowned. "The Black Bear Country has always been protected by the Azure Sky Country, and no country has ever dared to act against them. Now, this might bring disaster!"
"The Azure Sky Country has already attacked the Dragon Country, so why should the Dragon Country be afraid!"
The Seventh Elder stated directly, "We are all elders of the country, and we should naturally be devoted to the Dragon Country. With the Azure Sky Country acting this way, we don't need to maintain any pretense!"
"While that may be true, the Azure Sky Country has countless experts, and making enemies with them is ultimately not a good thing!"
The Fourth Elder waved his hand, his expression becoming more solemn. "Little Lu is quite something. He has done something so sensational, not only without any concealment but also spreading the news so quickly!"
"I think this kid is doing it on purpose!" The Ninth Elder narrowed his eyes. "As expected of youthful arrogance, but I like it!"
Following these words, the other elders nodded in agreement. Lu Fan's actions were indeed deliberate, but such actions might not be a bad thing.
Lu Fan did what they dared not do. But now that it was done, the Dragon Country would have no fear. Among nations, one always picks on the weaker ones. This saying has never been wrong.
Following the annihilation of the Black Bear Country, many nations showed astonishment and disbelief. They were well aware that the Black Bear Country had always been protected by the Azure Sky Country, and no nation dared to act against them lightly.
But now, news of the Black Bear Country's annihilation had attracted the attention of countless people. It wasn't just the Dragon Country; even many other nations like the Spirit Gathering Country cast their gaze towards the Black Bear Country.
Finally, news spread that the Black Bear Country was annihilated by the Azure Cloud Sect, causing quite a stir. If it had been annihilated by the Dragon Country, it would have been understandable, but being annihilated by the Azure Cloud Sect, a major sect, was something that had never happened in many countries.
In the outer battlefield, within the Black Shadow Organization, Du Qianqiu raised an eyebrow upon hearing the news.
