The three Ghost Saints, though displeased with the scene before them, found themselves at a loss. If it were solely up to them, making Lu Fan and the others pay a price would be quite difficult. Despite being Battle Saint level powerhouses, they faced three Battle Saints and four individuals wielding divine swords, making it hard for them to resist. After all, with three of their own heavily injured, how could the remaining two possibly cope?
"What? You don't seem to intend to leave?" the Third Elder of the Ye Clan smiled, "Are you truly intent on starting a war?"
The three Ghost Saints' faces turned ashen, filled with dissatisfaction. "We will absolutely not let this matter rest today. You just wait!"
"Since you've put it that way, we'll be waiting!" Lu Fan shrugged, "I'd like to see what methods the Ghost Hall truly possesses!"
The three Ghost Saints were quite displeased but said nothing more. With Meng Po herself having departed, their presence here served no purpose. Reluctantly, the three Ghost Saints left. The Hall Master had no intention of acting personally, and if they were to act rashly, it would be extremely unwise. After all, Lu Fan and the others were not weak, and with three Battle Saints poised to intervene, they wouldn't act without caution.
After the Ghost Hall members departed, Lu Fan and the others finally relaxed. The Ghost Hall had many powerful individuals, and they were quite apprehensive. Had it not been for the Ye Clan experts present to deter them, they couldn't imagine how the situation might have escalated.
"The Xuan Lei Sword is already in hand. Now, all that's left is the Shen family's Xue Hua Sword!" Ye Shisan said with a solemn expression, "Once the five swords are gathered, their power will be boundless!"
Everyone nodded, their expressions grave. They had eagerly awaited this day for a long time.
"Congratulations to the Young Master for obtaining the Xuan Lei Sword!" the crowd exclaimed, cupping their fists, their eyes filled with joy. With the Xuan Lei Sword now in hand, their Ye Clan mission was considered complete. More importantly, they had exposed the Ghost Hall's scheme, preventing them from succeeding and even heavily injuring Shan Gui.
"The direction of Long Du is shrouded in black energy. It's likely the Ghost Hall is at work again!" Lu Fan stated, "Now that the Xuan Lei Sword is in hand, I shall depart first!"
Lu Fan clasped his hands in farewell and then soared into the sky, heading towards Long Du. His expression turned even more serious as he witnessed the sight of bodies strewn across the city during his journey, turning his face ashen. As the ruler of the Dragon Dynasty, being unable to withstand the slaughter by the Ghost Hall was a profound shock to him.
Long Yi, upon seeing the scene, also looked disoriented and filled with grief and indignation. These were the people of the Dragon Dynasty, now decimated by the Ghost Hall's experts, with bodies littering the ground. "Those damned souls, one day, I will make them pay!" Long Yi declared coldly, his displeasure palpable.
At this very moment, Lin Ke and Ye Shisan also caught up. Gazing at the tragic scene, they were filled with grief and indignation, yet they were powerless. With their current strength, they lacked the capacity to confront the Ghost Hall.
Meanwhile, within Long Du, everyone was tense. Although the swamp area had calmed down, many experts from the Ghost Hall remained, hovering ominously and eager to enter Long Du city.
"Leader, Meng Po has sent word for us to retreat!" At that moment, a black-clothed man ran over, looking towards the leader. The leader's expression shifted. He hadn't expected Meng Po to order their retreat after such a grand mobilization. However, they dared not act rashly against Meng Po's command and could only retreat.
But then, a streak of light streaked across the sky, and a figure appeared before them, gazing coldly at the Ghost Hall members. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Slaughtering my Dragon Country's citizens and you think you can leave so easily?" Lu Fan's eyes blazed with killing intent. He couldn't fathom how the once prosperous Dragon Dynasty had become so battered.
"Who are you? You have quite the nerve?" the black-clothed leader said coldly, "Even the elders of the Dragon Dynasty are hiding. What right do you have to provoke us here?"
"Tsk tsk..." Lu Fan chuckled coldly, raising his Tai Xu Sword into the air. A surge of Tai Xu sword intent was unleashed, instantly causing hundreds of Ghost Hall experts to fall to their deaths, their faces turning ashen as they let out screams.
At this moment, everyone trembled, utterly astonished by Lu Fan's formidable power. In the blink of an eye, he had slain a hundred Ghost Hall experts.
"How is this possible!" the black-clothed leader exclaimed in disbelief. But upon seeing Lu Fan's Tai Xu Sword, he froze. He finally understood that Lu Fan was the ruler of the Dragon Dynasty.
"The Country Lord is back! The Country Lord is back!" At that moment, shouts erupted. The people of Long Du rejoiced, as Lu Fan's arrival brought them a sense of security.
At this moment, several elders of the Dragon Country stepped forward, coming to Lu Fan's side. With Lu Fan's arrival, they could naturally fight alongside him.
"Country Lord, we will face the enemy with you!" an elder declared, his expression earnest and solemn.
At this very moment, the millions of strong warriors of the Dragon Dynasty also appeared. Previously, without a leader, they were like headless flies. Now, with Lu Fan personally leading them, they were filled with fighting spirit. More importantly, Lu Fan's appearance brought the power of the nation, further amplifying their combat prowess.
"Retreat!" "Quickly retreat!" the black-clothed leader commanded, his color instantly turning serious. Among them were not a few Battle Emperor experts, but seeing Lu Fan's demeanor, they knew they were no match for him. A single misstep could mean their lives. Upon receiving the order, the various generals of the Ghost Hall swiftly fled towards the Ghost Hall, daring not to delay. They had all experienced the techniques Lu Fan had displayed moments ago.
"Avenge our fallen compatriots! We absolutely cannot let them escape!" Thunderous shouts echoed throughout Long Du as numerous experts surged forward, their roars filled with fury. They had been suppressed before, watching their loved ones fall in pools of blood with no recourse. Now, they would show no mercy.
The several Battle Emperor experts from the Ghost Hall, seeing that the situation was dire, quickly intervened, instantly killing several Dragon Country experts. After all, in terms of overall strength, the Ghost Hall still held the advantage. If not for their apprehension of Lu Fan's power, they would not have fled in such a panic.
Lu Fan gazed coldly at those several Battle Emperor experts. In a flash, a Tai Xu sword intent was slashed downwards, directly smashing those Battle Emperors into smithereens, leaving no trace of their remains.
