In the blink of an eye, Lu Fan and his companions had arrived outside the Holy City.
Countless experts from the Holy City followed, their hearts stirred with eagerness.
This was a divine artifact, an supreme treasure to them.
Throughout the entire Ancient Wilderness, only the Five Great Cities possessed divine artifacts.
Therefore, divine artifacts represented a terrifying killing intent to them. With a divine artifact in hand, one would undoubtedly possess deterrence in the Ancient Wilderness.
"Young brother, you used a divine artifact against me, but exposed yourself. I'm afraid your life is in danger!"
The old man in black said, "Why don't you hand over the divine artifact to me, and also take me as your master? Then I can protect you!"
"Dream on!"
Lu Fan's expression was cold, carrying a sharp killing intent, without any hesitation.
He naturally understood what the old man before him was thinking, but how could Lu Fan let him have his way?
"Since you refuse, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The old man in black instantly sneered, and at the same time, absorbed the Skyfire Ancestor.
Seeing the situation was dire, Lu Fan directly unleashed the Haotian Tower. The intangible divine artifact's pressure instantly crushed and surged towards the old man in black. Su Dan Novel Network
The old man in black quickly dodged, his brow furrowed. Even he was wary of the divine artifact's pressure unleashed by Lu Fan.
"I never expected that you, a mere stripling, could wield a divine artifact with such power!"
The old man in black sneered, "Since that's the case, I'll play with you for a while!"
Lu Fan paid no heed, controlling the Haotian Tower, his entire being radiating an aura.
The elders who had pursued from the Holy City also watched, greatly valuing the divine artifact but not making a move.
They understood the principle of the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind.
After a fierce battle, the old man in black's brow furrowed, and he retreated repeatedly. He had never imagined that Lu Fan, who had not even reached the Heavenly Lord realm, could unleash such divine power.
In Lu Fan's hands, the Haotian Tower was like a sharp weapon. The power of the divine artifact's revival was enough to make everyone retreat.
At the same time, throughout the entire Ancient Wilderness, all eyes converged, their hearts filled with confusion. They wondered what had happened in the Holy City to cause such a powerful energy fluctuation.
"This is the deterrence of a divine artifact!"
In Snowfall City, Bai Di's voice rang out. He looked towards the direction of the Holy City with a hint of confusion.
"What's going on?"
The City Lord of Snowfall City was also puzzled. Why was there the pressure of a divine artifact within the Holy City? In the entire Ancient Wilderness, could there be someone who could make the Holy City use a divine artifact?
Simultaneously, outside the Holy City, Lu Fan, controlling the Haotian Tower, instantly sent the old man in black flying.
Pfft...
The old man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, his face paling. He was filled with displeasure, unable to believe he had fallen into such a sorry state.
"It seems you're nothing special!"
Lu Fan shrugged and said, "I thought you were much more powerful!"
"You have guts, kid!"
The old man in black said, and then his figure disappeared. Under the immense pressure of the divine artifact, he could hardly bear it.
"Are you alright?"
Lu Fan walked to the Skyfire Ancestor's side. "Don't worry, with me here, he won't be able to act recklessly!"
"You kid!"
The Skyfire Ancestor shook his head. "You used a divine artifact within the Holy City. Now everyone knows you have a divine artifact, and there will likely be trouble!"
"Trouble?"
The Haotian Tower floated above Lu Fan's head, and he looked towards the elders not far away.
The elders quickly put on smiles, not daring to approach carelessly.
Although they highly valued divine artifacts, they naturally did not dare to disregard their lives.
The old man in black was not weak, yet he was defeated by Lu Fan. This was enough to show the power Lu Fan wielded with his divine artifact.
Seeing that no one dared to act rashly, Lu Fan let out a sigh of relief. He was at the end of his strength. If any more experts made a move, he would face a great calamity today.
"Let's go!"
Lu Fan's voice rang out. Just as he was about to help the Skyfire Ancestor leave, dozens of figures emerged from the Holy City.
"You all fought within the Holy City, violating its rules. I'm afraid you can't leave!"
A faint laugh echoed, soul-stirring. Lu Fan could feel that this person's strength was likely even greater than Bai Di's.
"It's Elder Feng!"
The surrounding onlookers were surprised and quickly retreated. It seemed the divine artifact had already caught the Holy City's attention, and they had no chance.
"Senior, it wasn't that we wanted to fight within the Holy City before!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists. "It was someone forcing us to act. I hope you can see clearly!"
"No need to investigate. I already know the whole story!"
Elder Feng smiled. "Truly young and promising, not only possessing a divine artifact but also being able to wield it!"
"Thank you for your praise, senior!"
Lu Fan bowed slightly. He did not know if the person before him was good or bad, so he dared not be careless.
"Do you have any thoughts about joining the Holy City?"
Elder Feng smiled. "Become my personal disciple!"
The onlookers were shocked. Elder Feng was a cultivator of the Sixth Heaven Lord realm, not to mention in the Holy City, he was considered a top expert in the entire Ancient Wilderness.
It was extremely rare for him to personally ask someone to be his disciple.
"Your kindness is great, senior, but I'm afraid I will disappoint you!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists. "I came to the Ancient Wilderness to become a god. As for becoming a disciple, I'll pass!"
Being rejected in public, Elder Feng's expression turned grim, but he forced himself to remain calm. "Since you have your own aspirations, so be it!"
"Thank you, senior!"
After speaking, Lu Fan directly took the Skyfire Ancestor and left.
Now that the matter had escalated so much, it was unlikely he could stay in the Holy City.
The onlookers were stunned. They thought there would be a ceremony of taking on a disciple, but they never expected Lu Fan to be so disrespectful.
Throughout the entire Ancient Wilderness, countless people wished to become Elder Feng's disciple. To be rejected by someone was utterly inconceivable.
"Elder, this brat is audacious and reckless, even daring to refuse your face. Should we...!"
A nearby elder spoke, his words carrying a murderous intent.
"His choice is the right one!"
Elder Feng chuckled. "I wanted to take him as a disciple only to obtain the divine artifact in his possession. I believe he has also noticed this!"
"Then..." The nearby elder frowned, waiting for a command to carry out his duty.
"This brat controls a divine artifact, and he is very dangerous. Take a dozen experts with you, and do not be careless!"
Elder Feng's voice rang out, and then he strode back into the Holy City.
He hadn't made a move earlier because there were too many people around. After all, everyone harbored greed in their hearts regarding divine artifacts.
Leaving the Holy City, Lu Fan did not stop, heading straight for Snowfall City.
He had originally planned to stay in the Holy City, but things did not go as he wished.
"Take a detour!"
The Skyfire Ancestor's voice rang out. "Elder Feng will not let us go. He will surely send experts to intercept us!"
