Lu Fan's soul was extracted, and the dozens of powerful beings around him stared, each like a greedy wolf or a hungry tiger. Finally, one person could not bear it and lunged towards Lu Fan.
As this person moved, the entire situation became uncontrollable. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh... several figures lunged towards Lu Fan. Simultaneously, over a dozen palm strikes bombarded him. Lu Fan's courtyard instantly became lively.
Lu Fan felt several forces tearing at him, as if they wanted to rip him into strips and then each person take a bite, dividing him equally. However, this body was completely beyond his control, moving back and forth, left and right, becoming a ball. A ball fought over by dozens of people.
"Xiao Fan..." Liu Ruyan watched from the side with a worried expression. She wanted to intervene but was afraid of becoming the target of everyone. Lu Fan had instructed Liu Ruyan, Yuan Feng, and the others beforehand that he would draw all the powerful beings into a chaotic battle. They were only to act when everyone was severely injured. Otherwise, they were never to intervene!
Because in such a frenzy, anyone who became the target of everyone would be ruthlessly destroyed. Driven by greed, people could do anything. What about a group of madmen!
Palm strikes and fist intents flew from the ground to the sky. Lu Fan himself was tossed into the air like a ball, kicked and thrown around.
Liu Ruyan and Yuan Feng watched as the many powerful beings fought amongst themselves, all vying for Lu Fan. Wherever Lu Fan went, everyone would charge. At this moment, there were no friends or brothers, because there was only one opportunity to become the Heavenly Dao...
Whoosh... Lu Fan was suddenly thrown up by a force, and at the same time, that force followed rapidly. It grabbed Lu Fan, and the body ascended rapidly, attempting to break free from the crowd.
Whoosh... Suddenly, a hand descended from the sky, reaching for Lu Fan.
"Scram..." The person roared, followed by a punch.
Bang... The two forces merged into a massive shockwave that spread outwards, whoosh... dispersing like a mushroom cloud.
At the same time, over a dozen forces struck that person. After a series of bangs, the person, with an unwilling expression, tossed Lu Fan out again. If he didn't toss him out, he risked death.
At this moment, Lu Fan simply curled his body into a ball, forming a protective aura around him. However, his current power was insignificant in the face of so many formidable beings. His body was already covered in cuts, and he had become a bloody sphere.
The stone monkey, which had turned to stone at the entrance of the village, kept looking up at the sky, watching the dozens of powerful beings fight and contend. These bastards, who could deceive people to death without consequence. They had even called him the Great Sage Equal to Heaven! Hmph! So you are all beings beyond heaven. Damn it!
However, Lu Fan didn't care. He was constantly looking for an opportunity. The moment he was thrown out, over a dozen more people rushed to grab him. The impact of these dozen forces colliding created another powerful shockwave.
Whoosh... Suddenly, a silver halo appeared around Lu Fan, swish... Lu Fan disappeared.
"Who?"
"Who?"
"Who?"
Roars of anger erupted from all around.
"Xiao Fan???" Liu Ruyan also exclaimed. Lu Fan hadn't told her about this part. Had he escaped on his own, or had someone abducted him? However, it was not easy to take away a living person in front of so many powerful beings.
Bad! She had forgotten someone! Liu Ruyan's heart suddenly jolted. Among so many powerful beings around, she hadn't seen Taishang Laojun. The Jade Emperor and the Tathagata had at least made a sound, but Taishang Laojun hadn't even left a single word.
"Yuan Feng! Take the people of the three tribes and leave quickly! I'm going to Laojun's mansion!" Liu Ruyan transmitted to Yuan Feng. She was worried that if the powerful beings couldn't find Lu Fan, they would vent their anger on the divine beast tribes.
Swish... Liu Ruyan instantly vanished from her spot.
Yuan Feng, along with the nine Golden Phoenixes and the disciples of the Qilin and Dragon tribes, immediately went into hiding and retreated. Following Lu Fan's previous instructions, they entered Beishan and hid themselves.
As expected, after searching for a while and finding no trace of Lu Fan, the many powerful beings, in their rage, directly demolished Lu Fan's house. Fortunately, Lu Fan had long since informed Wang Yan to take his parents and son to Beishan.
The next morning, the villagers were suddenly surprised to find Lu Fan's villa reduced to ruins. The entire village was filled with emotion, the most formidable villa in the village destroyed overnight! From then on, Twelve Gou Village had nothing extraordinary about it.
Along with Lu Fan's villa, some scenic buildings on the mountain were also destroyed. Some structures were as if cut by a knife, split in half. Rocks and trees were either pulverized or cleanly severed. There was even a place where hundreds of meters of vegetation were wiped out. People were astonished, not knowing what kind of power had caused this.
Lu Fan's figure appeared inside Taishang Laojun's Bajing Palace.
"Old man! You're still the厉害 one. I worked so hard to get them fighting, and you dispersed the whole brawl without even showing your face," Lu Fan said, looking at Taishang Laojun with annoyance.
"Heh heh! A bunch of brainless fools, how can they compare to me!" Taishang Laojun chuckled, then suddenly said, "Kid! I know I don't have time to refine your Heavenly Dao for now, so I need to hide you first. Because they will come looking for you soon."
"Since I've fallen into your hands, I have no choice. Do as you please!" Lu Fan shrugged and said.
"My Eight Trigrams Furnace is currently refining pills. It's making a supreme creation pill. If I put you in, the pill refined should be able to recreate a world. Then I can slowly refine you within the small world I create. So..." After Taishang Laojun finished speaking, he picked up Lu Fan and directly threw him into the alchemy furnace.
"Laojun..." Just then, a voice came from outside. It was Liu Ruyan's voice.
"Nuwa! Is something wrong?" Taishang Laojun flashed out to meet her, a smile on his face.
"Laojun, has Lu Fan come into your hands?" Liu Ruyan rushed in and asked.
"Nuwa! What makes you say that?" Taishang Laojun asked, looking bewildered.
"Laojun! Everyone else is fighting for the Heavenly Dao, yet you are so leisurely in your mansion. Don't tell us you don't know where Lu Fan is." Another voice suddenly arrived. The Jade Emperor and the Tathagata arrived together.
"Jade Emperor, Tathagata! Your presence here, please forgive this old man for not greeting you from afar." Taishang Laojun bowed slightly and said.
