As the many experts of Iron Mountain Sect mobilized, the people of North Pole Sect fled wildly.
They clearly understood that if they did not leave, they would be buried here.
"Leave none behind!"
The Sect Master of Iron Mountain Sect had a cold expression. The countless casualties among his disciples were all the work of North Pole Sect. Now that they had a chance to counterattack, how could he give up?
The elders of Iron Mountain Sect all nodded, showing no signs of retreat, advancing with an unstoppable momentum.
As elders of Iron Mountain Sect, they had no choice before, but now they did.
Lu Fan stood aside, witnessing this scene, unsure of right or wrong.
The many disciples of North Pole Sect died tragically, and it seemed inseparable from him.
"My Lord!"
Hu Yu came to Lu Fan's side, his expression filled with fear.
The scene before them was too terrifying; even he found it difficult to bear.
After the disciples of North Pole Sect were annihilated, the Sect Master of Iron Mountain Sect came before Lu Fan and bowed, saying, "Thank you, my Lord, for your timely intervention. Without you, Iron Mountain Sect would have been in grave danger!"
"No need to thank me!"
Lu Fan shook his head, "Since I have a relationship with Iron Mountain Sect, I naturally cannot stand idly by!"
"My Lord's intervention has saved the entire sect!"
Hu Yu chimed in, "How do you intend to thank my Lord?"
"This..." Su Dan Novel Network
The Sect Master of Iron Mountain Sect's expression shifted, "My Iron Mountain Sect possesses many treasures. If my Lord fancies them, the sect will not be stingy. However, my Lord may not find them worthy!"
"No need!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "I did not act for the treasures of Iron Mountain Sect, but I could not bear to see Iron Mountain Sect destroyed!"
After speaking, Lu Fan turned towards his residence. The three experts from Taiyan Dynasty were looking for him, and at this time, he still could not be too ostentatious, otherwise, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
In the following days, North Pole Sect was destroyed, and the influence of Iron Mountain Sect also expanded. The sect was decorated with lanterns and banners, making it quite lively.
However, Lu Fan remained in the courtyard and did not leave his half-step. He naturally paid no attention to Iron Mountain Sect's celebrations.
"My Lord, Iron Mountain Sect survived thanks to you. Why did you refuse to attend their celebration banquet?"
Hu Yu suddenly asked, looking perplexed and even confused.
"I have no connection with Iron Mountain Sect!"
Lu Fan stated directly, "My previous action was out of necessity. I couldn't just watch Iron Mountain Sect be annihilated!"
"According to my Lord's words, you seem dissatisfied with this matter!"
Hu Yu asked again, looking quite serious.
"It's not dissatisfaction!"
Lu Fan shook his head, "It's guilt within my heart!"
At this point, Lu Fan slowly stood up, "If I hadn't appeared, perhaps North Pole Sect wouldn't have been completely annihilated. In that case, I would have caused their deaths!"
"You cannot say that!"
Hu Yu shook his head, "If my Lord hadn't intervened, wouldn't Iron Mountain Sect have suffered? Therefore, in this world, there is no absolute right or wrong!"
"You speak the truth!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. Hu Yu's words were all logical.
"My Lord, this is a gift the Sect Master asked us to deliver!"
Several disciples arrived at the courtyard, carrying gifts in their hands, their eyes filled with reverence.
As disciples of Iron Mountain Sect, they knew very well that without Lu Fan, Iron Mountain Sect would have long since turned to ashes. Therefore, they were extremely respectful towards Lu Fan.
"Please tell your Sect Master that there is no need for such extravagance!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "I am not interested in these gifts!"
"My Lord, you may not know, but these are not ordinary items!"
One disciple spoke, "A thousand-year-old ginseng. If my Lord consumes it, he will surely be able to nourish his qi and thus improve his cultivation!"
"A thousand-year-old ginseng?"
Hu Yu looked surprised, "Is it real? Has this thing truly been around for a thousand years?"
"It absolutely cannot be fake!" the disciple quickly nodded, "How would we dare to falsify something sent to Lord Lu!"
"In that case, please convey my thanks to the Sect Master for me!" Lu Fan nodded slightly.
Although somewhat unwilling, he could not outright refuse.
This thousand-year-old ginseng was not bad, but he knew that accepting favors would make it difficult to refuse future requests. If he accepted too many benefits, he might face trouble later.
In the main hall of Iron Mountain Sect, the Sect Master saw the returning disciples and asked, "Has Lord Lu accepted it?"
"He has accepted it!" the disciples nodded slightly, "Although he was somewhat hesitant, he did not refuse in the end!"
"That's good then!"
The Sect Master of Iron Mountain Sect nodded, showing a pleased expression. Lu Fan had helped Iron Mountain Sect successfully annihilate North Pole Sect, and he was deeply grateful.
However, Lu Fan was quite distant, and no matter what gifts were offered, he could not be persuaded to accept them.
Now, this was a good start. Lu Fan's strength was so formidable. If he could establish a relationship with him, Iron Mountain Sect would surely have a place in the future.
During these days, Lu Fan either cultivated or wandered around casually. However, he did not dare to neglect the news from Tongtian Academy.
Unfortunately, there was no news from Tongtian Academy, which disappointed him somewhat.
Just as Lu Fan was about to go out, the entire Iron Mountain Sect suddenly trembled. It was unclear what had happened.
When Lu Fan reacted, he realized that the tremor was not confined to Iron Mountain Sect; even the entire Triangle Domain was experiencing a strong vibration.
"What happened?"
Hu Yu looked bewildered and surprised. Naturally, he did not expect the entire Triangle Domain to possess such a powerful aura.
"The Divine Wasteland Mountain has opened!"
Within the Triangle Domain, many elders looked towards a mountain range in the Triangle Domain, their eyes filled with longing.
The Divine Wasteland Mountain, which they had long awaited, had opened. This also meant that the entire Triangle Domain would inevitably witness a slaughter.
The Divine Wasteland Mountain was an ancient forbidden zone, filled with many terrifying formations and some mysterious objects.
If the Divine Wasteland Mountain had not opened, anyone who entered would surely die without exception, even experts at the Saint realm.
However, once the Divine Wasteland Mountain opened, it would remain open for a period of time. Entering the Divine Wasteland Mountain during this period was the safest.
Within Iron Mountain Sect, the elders had already gathered, and the Sect Master of Iron Mountain Sect had a joyful expression, "The Divine Wasteland Mountain has suddenly opened. This is an opportunity. Are there any elders who will accompany me inside?"
"We are willing to accompany the Sect Master!"
The elders all nodded, feeling quite motivated. Within the Divine Wasteland Mountain, there was the Divine Immortal Fruit Tree. If such a divine object could be obtained, it would greatly enhance one's cultivation.
In an instant, all the elders in Iron Mountain Sect were ready, and the same was true for other sects in the Triangle Domain.
It was rumored that the Divine Wasteland Mountain had opened once before, and someone had obtained the Divine Immortal Fruit within, instantly becoming a Saint.
These rumors were not baseless but were real occurrences.
Not long after, the Sect Master of Iron Mountain Sect came to Lu Fan's courtyard, "Lord Lu, the Divine Wasteland Mountain has opened. If my Lord accompanies us, our chances will be even greater!"
