"Hua Twenty-Three! It's time for us to stretch our legs!" Lu Fan appeared in his small courtyard and called out.
"Sect Master! Your courage is unmatched! The enemy has dozens of people, and you're leaving just us to deal with them! Hahaha! Alright! Then we'll fight with all our might!" Hua Twenty-Three suddenly burst into laughter and walked out. Following closely behind were Hua Old Five and the others.
"Remember, all realms are born from the extreme! If you want to improve faster, push yourself to the brink of your limits. Then let the desire for survival break through. A person without fighting spirit or courage will never achieve much," Lu Fan said with a faint smile.
Hua Twenty-Three and Hua Old Five and the others were stunned. They had never heard such a theory from Hua Thirty-Five before, but it seemed to have some logic.
"Alright! You go into kill mode! Kill them!" Hua Twenty-Three roared and charged out.
Hua Old Five and the others followed closely behind. Immediately, shouts of killing erupted.
"There are only five of them! Annihilate them!" The enemy saw only Hua Twenty-Three and four others and charged forward. With a rush, they surrounded Hua Twenty-Three and his companions.
"Hahaha! Who said it's only them! I'm here too!" Lu Fan smiled, and with a few flashes, he appeared in the middle of the crowd. The Luoying Sword in his hand instantly cut down two of the enemy.
"It's... it's Hua Thirty-Five! That jinx is back. Run!" Someone suddenly shouted, and they turned to flee.
As one person ran, the others became flustered. Dozens of people immediately scattered in all directions.
"Damn... it's really the Sect Master! His roar is no less than Zhang Fei's at Changban Slope!" Hua Twenty-Three and the others marveled. It seemed the gap between them and Lu Fan was still too great.
"Don't be stunned, cast the net!" Lu Fan shouted and pursued them instantly. *Puff puff...* Two people who were slower didn't even understand what happened before they collapsed on the ground, motionless.
Lu Fan's figure continued to pursue them without any obstruction.
Outside the great wall, figures flew out. They instantly fell into the pre-arranged fishing nets. Moreover, these nets were covered with fine, needle-like iron hooks. Many people were hooked as they fell. The anesthetic on the iron hooks quickly took effect, and those who struggled a few times were all subdued.
Hiding in the distance, Liu Ruyan and Zhuge Xian and the others were so happy they almost jumped. Lu Fan was so clever to think of such a method. Hahaha!
Soon, Lu Fan and Hua Twenty-Three and the others also chased out. Seeing that the people who had fled were no longer pursued, they tied up all the captured individuals.
"Sect Master! You're too amazing! We love you!" Hong Xiaojiao and Zhuge Xian ran over from afar and pounced directly onto Lu Fan. The other team members followed, almost pushing Lu Fan down...
Beside them, Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes in anger, wishing she could throw these guys out and tell everyone: Your Sect Master is mine!
"Sect Master! Five are dead, and twenty-one were captured alive! The rest... they all escaped!" Hua Twenty-Three and the others reported after counting the spoils.
"Notify all the major families to prepare for defense! Unleash whatever abilities they have. Whether they are wiped out or wipe out the enemy depends on their own capabilities!" Lu Fan said calmly.
The news had already been sent out, and each major family had its own strengths, otherwise, they wouldn't be martial arts families. As for whether they could deal with the sneak attacks of the Shadow Organization, Lu Fan couldn't manage everything. After all, China is vast, and there are many families, far beyond his reach.
"Then... how should these people be handled?" Hua Twenty-Three asked.
"Crippled their dantian! Then let them go back!" Lu Fan said calmly.
"Let them go back?" Those nearby immediately thought they had misheard and looked at Lu Fan in surprise.
"Don't look at me like that. Once these people become cripples, they don't need us to do anything to them; their own people will do it for us. These people might become our best living textbooks!" Lu Fan said, a slight smile on his lips.
"The Sect Master is not only divine in martial arts but also so intelligent!" Hua Twenty-Three said sincerely.
...
In the secret room, the old man looked at Lu Fan standing before him and didn't know how to praise him. Brave and resourceful, with the bearing of a general. It was just a pity that this kid didn't like to be constrained, nor did he like to be bound by a title. Otherwise, he could have been made a great general.
"Alright! What are your requirements? You can tell me," the old man asked Lu Fan.
"I want to go to Antarctica," Lu Fan said calmly.
"Good! Go ahead!" The old man nodded without asking any reason.
...
A few days later, Lu Fan and Liu Ruyan appeared on the Arctic glacier. Looking around, it was a world of ice, a monotonous expanse of white. The two of them walking on the glacier were particularly conspicuous.
"Why do I have such a familiar feeling about this place?" Liu Ruyan said suddenly, gazing at the ice and snow stretching for miles.
"Really?" Lu Fan raised an eyebrow, a sudden feeling arising in his heart. Could her extreme cold constitution also be related to this place? Could there really be such a thing as past and present lives?
"I feel like some force is guiding me!" Liu Ruyan suddenly said.
She could feel that from the moment she stepped onto the glacier, her body seemed to be absorbing a force. It was an extreme cold force, the same as the power within her before!
Lu Fan was somewhat surprised but said nothing, merely following Liu Ruyan forward. The glacier was cold, but this was not much for Lu Fan. Judging by Liu Ruyan's appearance, she didn't seem to mind the icy aura either.
Ahead, a glacier dozens of meters high suddenly appeared, hanging in the air like a waterfall. However, a waterfall was a static existence. In the middle of the glacier, there was an opening.
Liu Ruyan entered without hesitation. Lu Fan followed closely behind.
The scene before the two of them suddenly opened up. It was an ice cave tens of meters wide and four to five meters high. Countless stalactites of various shapes and postures hung from above. However, the moment they entered the opening, both felt the air instantly drop by more than ten degrees, giving them a bone-chilling sensation.
The ice cave sloped downwards. The two walked for several hundred meters, and the slope ahead became steeper and steeper. Lu Fan's expression became exceptionally solemn because he realized he needed to circulate his energy to resist the cold here! However, looking at Liu Ruyan, she seemed unaffected.
