Lu Fan didn't say much more. Ghost Shadow's whereabouts were unknown, and he likely had to leave Glazed City to search for him.
If the Huo family was indeed responsible, his departure from Glazed City this time would undoubtedly face obstacles.
However, Lu Fan scoffed at these possibilities, not taking them too seriously. After all, in his opinion, some matters were not that simple.
Meanwhile, within the Skywater Pavilion, the Pavilion Master learned of Elder Xuan Yue's death and was furious. "This brat is audacious to the extreme, daring to lay a hand on someone from my Skywater Pavilion! He truly knows no bounds!"
"Precisely. If we don't teach him a lesson, how can Skywater Pavilion maintain its standing in Central Continent!" Patriarch Huo agreed. "I came here specifically to inform you, hoping the Skywater Pavilion Master can strike him down to appease Elder Xuan Yue!"
"Thank you for your good intentions, Patriarch Huo. Skywater Pavilion will never let this go!" Su Dan Novel Network
The Skywater Pavilion Master nodded, his gaze sharpening. In his eyes, Lu Fan's actions had thoroughly enraged Skywater Pavilion.
After Patriarch Huo left, the elders of Skywater Pavilion spoke up. "This matter might not be as simple as it appears. Pavilion Master, you shouldn't just listen to his one-sided account!"
"What do you mean by that?"
The Skywater Pavilion Master frowned, looking at everyone present, a hint of surprise in his heart.
"The son of the Huo family was killed, yet his Huo family makes no move. They merely wish to use our blade to kill. If that's the case, why should we be misled by them?" one elder stated frankly.
"I am naturally aware of what you are saying. However, Xuan Yue was an elder of our Skywater Pavilion. Now that he has met with misfortune, as the Pavilion Master, how can I stand by?"
The Skywater Pavilion Master said coldly, "You elders go gather information about him. All elders are to be dispatched to apprehend him and bring him back to Skywater Pavilion!"
The elders of Skywater Pavilion exchanged glances, feeling helpless. They could only nod slightly, as the situation had clearly spiraled beyond their expectations.
After everyone departed, the Skywater Pavilion Master's expression turned icy. In his eyes, no one could simply harm an elder of Skywater Pavilion. How could he let Lu Fan off the hook for such an act?
Lu Fan left Glazed City and looked in other directions, searching for Ghost Shadow's trace. Ghost Shadow had accompanied him to Central Continent. If anything had happened to him, Lu Fan wouldn't be able to rest easy.
However, after searching everywhere, he found no sign of Ghost Shadow, which puzzled him. Under normal circumstances, this shouldn't be the case.
Just then, Lu Fan noticed several figures in the direction directly ahead of him. These elders appeared quite plain and unpretentious, yet they exuded a powerful aura, causing him to frown slightly.
"Are you Lu Fan?" the leading elder asked, squinting and staring directly at Lu Fan, his words laced with hostility.
"Who are you?" Lu Fan's brow furrowed. He hadn't expected anyone to be waiting for him here; it seemed they were well-prepared.
"Did you kill Elder Xuan Yue!" one of the elders demanded coldly, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan, sharp and piercing.
"Elder Xuan Yue?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly. "Indeed, I killed him. Why keep such a scumbag alive?"
"You are quite bold. Elder Xuan Yue is an elder of my Skywater Pavilion. How can you kill him as you please!" the leading elder said coldly, his imposing aura radiating outward. Skywater Pavilion was not to be trifled with, and Lu Fan's words showed he didn't take them seriously at all.
"Do I need anyone's permission to act?" Lu Fan retorted coldly. "Don't you want to know why I killed him?"
"There is no reason! Even if he committed the most heinous of crimes, it is not for you to point fingers here!" the leading elder stated sternly. "Do you understand what we are saying now?"
"Since that is the case, there is nothing more to say. It would be more straightforward to just fight!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly. Since he had already killed an elder of Skywater Pavilion, he naturally wouldn't care about these people.
"Since you have put it that way, we shall not be polite!" the leading elder declared coldly, his powerful aura surging towards Lu Fan. The air crackled with forceful winds, and he seemed determined, as if Lu Fan were merely a plaything in his grasp.
However, as he approached Lu Fan, he distinctly felt the formidable aura radiating from Lu Fan. He immediately halted his advance and looked at Lu Fan again. "It seems I underestimated you. I didn't expect your strength to be this great!"
"Does my strength mean you won't act against me?" Lu Fan shrugged slightly, a cold smile gracing his lips.
"That is absolutely impossible. You killed Elder Xuan Yue, and this matter cannot be left unresolved. If you do not return with us, you will be punished!" the leading elder stated sternly. "Therefore, you have no choice now!"
"You talk too much!"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly. "If you have the ability, then come at me. I want to see if you are capable!"
Seeing this, the eyes of the Skywater Pavilion elders glinted with coldness. Lu Fan's words further stoked their displeasure, as they felt he was showing no respect to Skywater Pavilion.
Without hesitation, the elders of Skywater Pavilion surged towards Lu Fan. The air around them stirred with sharp gusts, appearing exceptionally fearsome and catching them by surprise.
However, Lu Fan remained unfazed. He leaped into the air, intending to confront the elders. The elders of Skywater Pavilion were all Saint King realm experts. Although immensely powerful, they were ultimately no match for Lu Fan.
Without a high-level Saint King, no one could stop him, at least in Lu Fan's opinion.
"Bring this person back to Skywater Pavilion. The Pavilion Master wishes to question him personally!" the leading elder said coldly, his eyes filled with a chilling light. "If he dares to resist, you may kill him and let him know the might of our Skywater Pavilion!"
The many elders nodded slightly, their eyes filled with a cold gleam, showing no restraint. Since the Pavilion Master wanted to question him, they would not hold back.
At that very instant, a series of explosions echoed, appearing terrifying. What the elders hadn't anticipated was that Lu Fan's strength far surpassed their imagination, leaving them quite unprepared.
Although Lu Fan hadn't unleashed any special techniques, his physical strength alone was enough to injure them all.
"You are no match for me!" Lu Fan declared, looking at them.
