"What's going on?"
The Sect Master of the Fiery Sect abruptly stood up, his eyes flashing with cold light. He hadn't expected anyone to dare act so presumptuously within the Fiery Sect.
"The King of the Northwest has arrived with a host of city lords, and they are likely well-prepared!" Elder Five and Elder Six stated directly, "Sect Master, you should formulate a plan for dealing with this soon, otherwise they will absolutely not give up!"
"They have truly audacious guts! This is the Fiery Sect, not a place for them to play house!"
Many other elders spoke coldly, their words laced with displeasure. It seemed to them that Lu Fan and his entourage were being unreasonable and not taking the Fiery Sect seriously at all.
After all, today was the day the Fiery Sect recruited disciples. If the numerous disciples were to know that someone had barged into the Fiery Sect and was acting so unrestrainedly, how could they maintain their dignity?
"First Elder, you personally go and see what exactly is happening!" the Sect Master of the Fiery Sect ordered. "If it is truly the King of the Northwest, then send him away. I don't wish to have too much interaction with him. As for the affairs of my Fiery Sect, they are not something he can easily meddle in!"
The First Elder nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with solemnity. Since someone had intruded upon the Fiery Sect, he naturally would not let it go. He also wanted to see who exactly this person was to become the King of the Northwest.
Meanwhile, within the training grounds of the Fiery Sect, Lu Fan and his group halted their movements. This was because a rather peculiar formation had been set up on the training grounds.
"Don't celebrate too early. This is the Fiery Sect, a place you shouldn't be!" the Seventh Elder said coldly. "If you let me go, then nothing more need be said. But if you dare to do anything to me, the Sect Master will not let you off!"
"You certainly talk a lot!"
Liu Ruyan sneered, "You're merely a defeated opponent. How dare you spout such nonsense here? Truly eye-opening!"
"You..."
The Seventh Elder's expression changed, filled with anger. Liu Ruyan's words were a direct slap in his face, completely disregarding him. How could he tolerate this?
"You don't need to say anymore. You were outmatched," Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his demeanor indifferent. Since the Seventh Elder didn't take him seriously, he had no reason to be polite.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be the King of the Northwest?"
At that very moment, a cold voice rang out. The First Elder of the Fiery Sect strode forward, his eyes flashing with a cold glare. In their eyes, Lu Fan's actions were indeed quite improper.
"You are correct. I am indeed the King of the Northwest!"
Lu Fan nodded, his gaze remaining indifferent. He then stated directly, "Are you the Sect Master of the Fiery Sect?"
"You jest. I am merely the First Elder of the Fiery Sect. My Sect Master is very busy and has no time to meet you!"
The First Elder smiled faintly. "However, for the King of the Northwest to cause such a commotion shortly after taking office is truly baffling. May I ask your intentions? Are you perhaps deliberately making things difficult for my Fiery Sect!"
"The actions of the Fiery Sect have violated the rules of the Northwest Forbidden Area!" Lu Fan said with a smile. "I have come to the Fiery Sect today to have a discussion with your Sect Master. If the Sect Master is unwilling to talk, I don't mind eradicating the Fiery Sect!"
"Eradicate the Fiery Sect?"
The First Elder was slightly taken aback, then his expression turned into a smile. "King of the Northwest, you truly have a sense of humor. My Fiery Sect has stood for many years in the entire Northwest region, and no one has ever dared to speak like this. Even if you are the King of the Northwest, you shouldn't be so arrogant!"
"What I say, I mean!" Lu Fan shrugged. "If you don't believe me, you can certainly try!"
"Do you really think my Fiery Sect is afraid of you?" the Seventh Elder said dismissively, exuding a surge of arrogance.
In response to these words, Lu Fan's lips curved slightly, and he said coldly, "Your tone is quite loud. Since you are so incredulous, I will start with you now!"
At that instant, Lu Fan appeared before the Seventh Elder, his expression sharp and his lips showing a faint smile.
"What do you want to do!"
The Seventh Elder's expression changed, and he began to retreat rapidly. He could clearly feel Lu Fan's hostility, which filled him with a sense of dread.
"What are you panicking about? Weren't you quite capable just now!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly, a wicked smile appearing on his lips.
"You..."
The Seventh Elder's expression shifted. He quickly called out to the First Elder, "Save me!"
Just as the First Elder was about to make a move, Lu Fan waved a hand, directly severing one of the Seventh Elder's arms.
A scream instantly echoed throughout the surroundings, and everyone looked over. Naturally, they hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so forceful, showing no restraint at all.
This was an elder of the Fiery Sect. Having one arm crippled was equivalent to losing his original value. Even for a Martial Emperor level expert, their future prospects would be greatly diminished.
The Lord of Cloud City was stunned, his heart filled with immense shock. Even he had not expected things to turn out this way, catching him completely off guard.
Simultaneously, everyone's expressions became grave. They could clearly feel that this matter was not trivial, and any slight misstep could lead to endless repercussions.
"How dare you act so violently within my Fiery Sect!"
The First Elder's expression turned icy, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan. The Seventh Elder's arm had just been cut off before his eyes, how could he accept this? This was tantamount to a direct insult to him.
"I originally intended to have a good talk with the Fiery Sect, but it seems you have no such intentions!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "Since that's the case, how can I stand idly by!"
"Do you know that our Fiery Sect members are not to be offended by others!" the elders stated coldly. "Your actions have thoroughly offended the Fiery Sect. Have you truly considered the consequences of offending the Fiery Sect!"
"Then have you considered the consequences of offending the King of the Northwest?" Liu Ruyan smiled. "This Heavenly Court Dynasty, is it the Heavenly Court Dynasty's, or your Fiery Sect's? Your arrogance is truly boundless!"
Following these words, the expressions of the elders of the Fiery Sect turned ashen. Being pointed out by Liu Ruyan made them even more displeased.
At the same time, the First Elder said no more and soared into the sky. "Where are the disciples of the Fiery Sect? Someone has trespassed upon our mountain gate, what should you do?"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The disciples shouted in unison, their voices carrying an unparalleled momentum. Each of them exuded an aura of bloodlust, forcing others to retreat.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, not taking it too seriously. In his eyes, all of this was not worth mentioning.
"My Fiery Sect has a million disciples. With just the few of you, you think you can breach my Fiery Sect? Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"
A smile appeared on his lips as the First Elder looked at Lu Fan.
