After a period of searching, Lu Fan and the other arrived at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. However, as soon as they entered, they spotted two familiar figures, who were currently conversing with the staff inside the pavilion.
"Is this map too expensive? It actually requires a sacred artifact in exchange!" Hu Yu exclaimed, "It's just a map, the commerce in Central Continent is truly beyond compare."
"This is the most comprehensive map of Central Continent, so it's only natural to exchange it for a sacred artifact!"
Hu Xian'er shook her head and said, "You probably don't know, but our sacred artifacts are nothing in Central Continent!"
"Even if it's a sacred artifact, how can it be considered nothing!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes and walked towards the two figures, "I truly didn't expect us to meet again. As they say, enemies often cross paths."
Hearing the familiar voice, Hu Xian'er suddenly turned around, her face turning ashen. She naturally hadn't expected Lu Fan to appear here, which made her even more shocked.
"Why are you like a lingering ghost!" Hu Yu said coldly, "Didn't we just agree to go our separate ways? Why are you still following us!"
"That's a ridiculous statement. I'm not following you!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "It's you who acted immorally and beat up my subordinate. And you struck quite heavily!"
At this point, Lu Fan gestured to Ghost Shadow. Ghost Shadow then revealed his back, which had a deep indentation, looking quite battered.
"Sister, did you do this?"
Hu Yu glanced at it, feeling a pang of sympathy. Although Ghost Shadow was from the Assassin Dynasty, he was still a person, and seeing him so severely injured evoked a sense of pity.
"They are from the Assassin Dynasty, so we cannot be soft-hearted towards them!" Hu Xian'er said coldly, "It's a pity I didn't go all out, otherwise he would have been dead by now!"
"According to you, should I be thanking you?" Ghost Shadow rolled his eyes, feeling quite displeased. Hu Xian'er's words struck a nerve.
Following this exchange, Hu Xian'er said coldly, "This is the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. If you intend to fight here, you must think carefully. Moreover, there are many experts in this city, so do not act rashly!"
"Do you think I'm afraid?"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, "Central Continent is indeed full of experts, and there are even Saint King powerhouses stationed in this city. But what of it? I dare to offend even numerous sacred lands, let alone a mere city!"
Hu Xian'er frowned and retreated with Hu Yu. She knew very well that people from the Assassin Dynasty were unscrupulous and capable of anything. Since Lu Fan had beaten Ghost Shadow so badly, he likely wouldn't show any mercy.
"You might as well stop struggling. In front of my master, struggling is useless!" Ghost Shadow shrugged, his gaze appearing calm.
However, at this very moment, a woman in red approached from within the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, "Sir, may I know what you wish to purchase?"
"I'm not buying anything!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "You'd best not block my path, lest you get injured by mistake!"
"Sir, you may not be aware, but this is the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Acting rashly here is equivalent to making an enemy of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion," the woman in red said with a smile. "I hope you will reconsider and not let hatred blind your judgment. If you truly offend the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, it will be a loss that outweighs any gain."
"Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion?"
Lu Fan's brow twitched slightly, "Are you implying that if I act here, you will be displeased?"
"The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has tens of thousands of chain stores in Central Continent and is backed by immense power. If you act here, you will offend the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, and it will likely lead to endless conflict!" Hu Xian'er smiled faintly, "Therefore, I advise you not to act rashly, or you will be the one to suffer!"
"I detest being threatened the most. The more you threaten me, the more I want to act against you!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "If you don't believe me, feel free to try!"
Hu Xian'er frowned. She dared not provoke Lu Fan now, as this was no joke. With Lu Fan's strength, even the numerous experts of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion might not be able to stop him, and in the end, she would be the one most embarrassed.
"Sir, I have already stated that brawling is not allowed in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion!"
The woman in red frowned and spoke to Lu Fan, her gaze quite serious.
Lu Fan ignored her, his expression turning cold, "I do not wish to make an enemy of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, so you had best not block my path, lest I injure you by mistake!"
"Even if you intend to harm me, I will never allow you to harm my guests!" the woman in red stated resolutely, her expression firm.
At this moment, many experts who had arrived at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion turned their gaze towards Lu Fan. They were surprised by Lu Fan's imposing demeanor, as if he didn't take the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion seriously at all.
"This is the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. If you dare to act presumptuously here, you will pay the price for your actions!" several white-haired elders looked at Lu Fan, their killing intent surging. After all, few dared to cause trouble in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
"As I said before, I do not wish to be enemies with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. However, I intend to teach this woman a lesson. She is not one of your people, so I hope you will not interfere!" Lu Fan spoke again.
However, facing Lu Fan's words, the crowd paid no heed, especially the elders of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, whose spiritual energy surged. They would not tolerate anyone causing trouble in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
Hu Xian'er saw the scene before her and a faint smile appeared in her eyes. This was, after all, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, and if Lu Fan acted recklessly, he would likely not fare well.
"Ignorant fools, do you think you can stop my master with your incompetence!"
Ghost Shadow's eyes revealed a chilling glint, and a powerful aura emanated from him, appearing sharp and imposing, his expression instantly turning cold.
In that instant, Lu Fan stopped Ghost Shadow, "Don't act rashly. Our enemies are not these people!"
Ghost Shadow was slightly taken aback but dared not act rashly.
However, at this very moment, a subtle aura within the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion made Lu Fan quite wary.
"You must have sensed it too. There is a Saint King within the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion!"
Hu Xian'er smiled, "If you dare to act recklessly here, that senior will not stand idly by, and you will be the one to suffer!"
"Do you think I care about these things?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
