"Young brother, did you tamper with something? Why has the ancient and mysterious stone tablet become so ordinary now?"
Several elders spoke, their gazes fixed on Lu Fan. They had felt the aura of the ancient stone tablet and had come here specifically for it.
They hadn't expected the aura surrounding the ancient stone tablet to gradually disappear, and only Lu Fan had interacted with it.
Lu Fan paid them no mind, not caring about this group of people at all.
After all, in his eyes, they were merely a mob, and their questioning him was highly disrespectful.
"I'm asking you a question, why aren't you answering!"
The elders looked displeased, their auras surging. They would not hold back against Lu Fan's arrogance.
"Based on you lot, you are not qualified to speak to me, sir!"
Zhao Xiaotian spoke up, "This is not a place for you to show off. You should leave quickly to avoid losing your lives!"
At these words, everyone present instantly erupted in anger. They were, after all, elder generation powerhouses, and being insulted in such a manner was unbearable.
However, at this very moment, in the sky not far away, an elder suddenly appeared, riding a giant beast, followed by many disciples. The exotic beasts ridden by these disciples also looked exceptionally elegant.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly.
These were all people from the Imperial Beast Sect. As a prominent sect, they naturally possessed their own foundations, which others could not easily contend with.
"Elder Feng, this must be the place where that aura originated!"
An elder spoke, appearing to be immortal and dignified, seated on the giant beast, looking extraordinary.
Elder Feng nodded slightly and clasped his fist, saying, "Such an aura is extremely extraordinary and must be something of unparalleled value!"
The people within the valley retreated, not daring to approach. The Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect himself had come, making them somewhat fearful.
After all, the Imperial Beast Sect was no ordinary sect, and they were not people they could afford to offend.
Rumor had it that the Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect was a Saint realm powerhouse, and offending him rashly would be seeking one's own death.
"Why is that aura gone?"
The Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect frowned, looking at everyone present, his gaze carrying a sharp intensity.
"The aura within the ancient stone tablet was absorbed by this brat!"
An elder spoke, his gaze fixed directly on Lu Fan, without any pretense.
The Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect frowned and looked at Lu Fan, "Little fellow, what was inside the ancient stone tablet, and what did you absorb?"
"Too much nonsense!"
Lu Fan ignored them, turning to leave directly. His main purpose in coming to the Ziwei Realm was to temper himself in the mortal world and seek the power of heavenly laws. He naturally paid no attention to these minor figures.
Shangqing Zhenren followed beside Lu Fan, the corners of his lips curving upwards. Following such a powerful individual was perhaps a good thing for him.
"Wait!"
Elder Feng spoke coldly, "You have great audacity, not even showing respect to our Sect Master. Do you know who we are?"
"So what if I know?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "You people are not capable of absorbing the power of heavenly laws!"
However, at this moment, the Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect frowned, "Why do you carry the aura of my Imperial Beast Sect disciples? Could it be..."
"The disciples of the Imperial Beast Sect were foolish and dared to offend my lord. They deserved to die!"
Zhao Xiaotian stated directly, "I advise you not to act rashly, lest your lives be in danger!"
At these words, the Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect's face turned ashen. As the Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect, being threatened in such a manner, how could he be reconciled?
"You have great audacity, killing disciples of the Imperial Beast Sect, and you still speak such words!"
With indifference in his eyes, Elder Feng spoke coldly, carrying a surging rage.
"Young man, do not speak so arrogantly!"
The corners of his lips curved slightly, Shangqing Zhenren spoke, "When speaking with my lord, you must consider whether you have the qualifications!"
Elder Feng frowned and was about to say something when his gaze fell upon Shangqing Zhenren, "Your face looks familiar, could it be Shangqing Zhenren?"
"You are correct!"
Shangqing Zhenren narrowed his eyes, "I truly did not expect that after wandering for so many years, someone would still recognize me!"
"Shangqing Zhenren?"
The Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect frowned. This was a Saint, with strength comparable to his own. He had achieved fame in his early years, and he hadn't expected him to appear here.
More importantly, Shangqing Zhenren seemed quite deferential to Lu Fan.
This was a Saint, so why would he do such a thing, making him also vigilant.
"Since you are Shangqing Zhenren, you should know of my Imperial Beast Sect!"
Elder Feng stated directly, "My Imperial Beast Sect disciples are not so easily killed!"
"The disciples of the Imperial Beast Sect offended my lord, and thus deserved to die!"
The corners of his lips curved slightly, Shangqing Zhenren said directly, "If my lord makes a move, perhaps even your Sect Master will have to beg for mercy on his knees!"
"What arrogant words!"
Elder Feng's voice was icy, "To dare utter such words!"
The Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect also had a cold expression, carrying a killing intent, "You, a dignified Saint, call a mere child 'lord'? Isn't that beneath your dignity!"
"Child?"
Shangqing Zhenren stood frozen, a look of awkwardness on his face. If the Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect knew of Lu Fan's strength, he would not have said this.
"Hmph!"
The Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect snorted, and in that instant, dozens of giant beasts instantly surrounded Lu Fan and his group, their bodies emitting powerful auras.
Seeing this scene, everyone present retreated, their faces ashen. They had not expected the Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect to summon Saint Beasts, and these Saint Beasts were powerful, instilling fear in their hearts.
"This person is truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, to actually make the Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect act personally!"
"Who says not! The Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect controls over a dozen Saint Beasts, which can be comparable to Saints. Perhaps no one can stop them!"
"Even Saint Shangqing, facing over a dozen Saint Beasts, should feel a headache!"
The onlookers murmured, their words not hiding anything, as if in their eyes.
Lu Fan and his group had already become corpses, and no one could change this.
"Please, my lord, make your move!"
Shangqing Zhenren clasped his fist slightly and looked at Lu Fan. He knew that Lu Fan's strength was extremely formidable, and these Saint Beasts were nothing in his eyes.
Lu Fan smiled faintly and looked at the Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect, "Are you truly seeking death?"
"Seeking death?"
The Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect sneered, "You must be joking! These are ten Saint Beasts! If you dare to act rashly, you will surely die here today!"
