"Valley Master, it has been confirmed. The three great kingdoms have joined forces, and besides the Sea Kingdom, the Sky Kingdom is also among them!" Xia Handong clasped his fist. "It seems that before long, the kingdoms will be overturned!"
The elders present frowned. They had not expected the Sky Kingdom to be involved. If it were just the experts from the Sea Kingdom, the Dragon Kingdom might have a chance to fight back, but the Sky Kingdom was the most powerful among many kingdoms. With their participation, how could the Dragon Kingdom cope?
"What is the situation with the extraterritorial battlefield?" the Medicine King Valley Master asked. "Have you found out clearly?"
"All 36 extraterritorial strongholds of the Dragon Kingdom have been attacked by experts. At this rate, it is likely that all strongholds will be overthrown before long!" Xia Handong said frankly. "Should the Medicine King Valley make preparations in advance? Purchase some supplies!"
"All 36 strongholds are to be overthrown?" The Medicine King Valley Master's face turned ashen. "In that case, won't the Dragon Kingdom be fraught with peril?"
"The affairs of the Dragon Kingdom have nothing to do with the Medicine King Valley!" Xia Handong smiled. "No matter who is in charge of the Dragon Kingdom, it makes no difference to the Medicine King Valley."
"Even so, we are, after all, people of the Dragon Kingdom, and naturally, we do not wish to see the Dragon Kingdom overthrown!"
A white-haired elder spoke, "It is a pity that the Dragon Kingdom's strength is too weak, and the opponent is a coalition of kingdoms. It is probably unlikely to turn the tide of this war."
"Since that is the case, then seal the Medicine King Valley!" the Medicine King Valley Master stated. "For half a year, no one from the Medicine King Valley is to leave easily, nor is any outsider to be allowed in, lest it cause trouble!"
The elders clasped their fists. "We obey the Valley Master's command!"
"Great Elder, this matter is not trivial. You must pay close attention!" the Medicine King Valley Master said. "Regardless of whether the Dragon Kingdom is overthrown or not, you must maintain close contact with the other two major sects. Only in this way can we stand with the leading kingdoms, otherwise, even the Medicine King Valley may suffer collateral damage."
"Valley Master, rest assured, we are not part of the Dragon Kingdom's headquarters. Even if the Dragon Kingdom is overthrown, it has nothing to do with us!"
Xia Handong smiled. "We can just wait and see. As for the other two major sects, I have already contacted them. They are all observing. Moreover, the three major sects are united and even the kingdoms fear us. Even if the Sea Kingdom enters the Dragon Kingdom's territory, they will not make a move against the three major sects!"
"That would be for the best!" The Medicine King Valley Master nodded slightly, his expression becoming even more solemn.
He knew very well that some matters were not as simple as they appeared. It was a turbulent time, and it was natural not to stir up trouble, especially on the extraterritorial battlefield, where many Grandmasters and Spirit Warriors had turned to dust, which showed the horror of the war.
Lu Fan and the Fourth Elder arrived outside the Medicine King Valley and saw that the Medicine King Valley had closed its mountain gates. Lu Fan frowned, as under normal circumstances, the Medicine King Valley would not be in such a state.
"Who are you!"
A disciple walked out of the mountain gate and shouted at Lu Fan and the Fourth Elder, "The Medicine King Valley has sealed its gates. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Go back where you came from!"
"Sealed the valley?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "I really didn't expect that during the kingdom's crisis, the Medicine King Valley would not only not care at all but would also directly seal its valley!"
"Sects are like this. No matter who is in charge, it does not affect them!" the Fourth Elder smiled. "This is the usual practice of the three major sects."
"Since they have received the blessings of the Dragon Kingdom, they should serve the Dragon Kingdom. Otherwise, what is the use of them!" Lu Fan's imposing aura was evident. At the same time, he said to the disciple, "We are from the Dragon Kingdom's headquarters. Have the Medicine King Valley Master come to see us personally!"
"Dragon Kingdom Headquarters?" The disciple was stunned for a moment and quickly ran into the valley without any delay. Su Dan Novel Network
He knew very well that the extraterritorial battlefield was about to fall, and it was unlikely that good news would bring people from headquarters here.
Not long after, in the conference hall, after the disciple reported the matter, all the elders fell silent, their expressions not looking good.
The Medicine King Valley had just sealed its gates when people from headquarters arrived. In this case, how could they not guess the purpose of the Dragon Kingdom's people coming?
"Valley Master, I don't think we need to meet!" Xia Handong clasped his fist. "I'll send them away now!"
"How can that be done!" The Medicine King Valley Master said coldly. "People from the Dragon Kingdom's headquarters are at least of the Elder level. If we block them at the door, it might be extremely inappropriate."
"Does the Valley Master intend to meet them personally?" Xia Handong frowned. "In that case, how will the Valley Master deal with them? After all, they have something to ask from the Medicine King Valley!"
"No matter what, let them in first!" the Medicine King Valley Master waved his hand. "The Dragon Kingdom has not been destroyed yet. If we offend them rashly, it may not be a good thing!"
Xia Handong had no choice but to nod slightly and strode towards the gates of the Medicine King Valley.
Meanwhile, outside the mountain gate, Lu Fan frowned. "These sects absorb the martial arts power of the Dragon Kingdom, but during the kingdom's crisis, they go into seclusion. Such behavior is truly laughable!"
"Sects prioritize benefits!"
The Fourth Elder said frankly, "It is not easy to get them to dispatch experts. It is a pity that the situation on the extraterritorial battlefield is tense. If many experts do not go to support, the Dragon Kingdom will likely be in peril."
"Elder, rest assured, things will eventually be resolved!" Lu Fan said. "If the three major sects do not come out, I don't mind smashing their mountain gates! I wanted to test the power of the martial arts I obtained in the Seven Star Tower last time!"
"You boy, don't act rashly!" The Fourth Elder shot him a glance. "Now that there are external threats, if there are internal troubles, the Dragon Kingdom will likely be in peril!"
"Elder, you are mistaken. Even if we don't fall out with them, will the Dragon Kingdom be able to solve the external threat?" Lu Fan said frankly. "The 36 strongholds have suffered a great impact. If many experts do not join, it will surely be a vicious cycle!"
The Elder's face turned ashen. He understood this point, but as an Elder of the Dragon Kingdom, he considered too many things and could not be like Lu Fan, otherwise, he would not be so apprehensive.
As they were conversing, Xia Handong and a few old men arrived at the gates of the Medicine King Valley. Upon seeing Lu Fan's figure, they also frowned. He did not expect Lu Fan to dare to come to the Medicine King Valley.
"Fourth Elder, what wind blows you here?" Xia Handong smiled. "The Medicine King Valley is preparing to close its mountain gates. You've come at just the right time!"
"I have something to discuss with the Medicine King Valley Master!" the Fourth Elder narrowed his eyes. "May I know where he is!"
"The Valley Master is in the Medicine King Valley!" Xia Handong stated. "However, if it is about the extraterritorial battlefield, I ask Fourth Elder to reconsider, and not to make things difficult for both sides! After all, since ancient times, sects have not inquired about state affairs, and this is the rule!"
"Rules can be changed!" Lu Fan said coldly. "The Medicine King Valley is also of the Dragon Kingdom, and even more so, it is land of the Dragon Kingdom. When the Dragon Kingdom is in trouble, how can you not help!"
"What are you, to have a say here!" Xia Handong looked at Lu Fan coldly.
