However, one of the guards was a burly, menacing leader.
He looked Wang Fan and the others up and down, his eyes full of disdain.
"Hmph, you lot dare to say you want to see Elder Lie Yan?"
"Stop causing trouble here. You're dressed strangely and you've brought along some foreigners from who-knows-where. You might be spies sent by a false god," the leader said sarcastically.
Wang Fan frowned and said, "We are indeed here at the invitation of Elder Lieyan. We hope you will not make things difficult for us and will inform him immediately."
The foreman persisted, "Report? On what grounds? What ability do you foreigners have?"
"In the eyes of our Land of Fire, you are nothing but a bunch of country bumpkins. You think you can fight against the false god with us? Don't make me laugh."
Upon hearing this, the players glared angrily.
A hot-tempered player stepped forward and shouted, "You snobbish bastard, who are you calling a country bumpkin? Believe me or not, I'll beat you up!"
The leader sneered and waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately pointed their weapons at Wang Fan and his men.
"What? You want to fight? You dare to act wildly on the land of fire?"
The atmosphere instantly became tense. Wang Fan quickly reached out to stop the player and said to the leader with a stern face, "We have no intention of clashing with you, but your disdain for foreigners is truly narrow-minded."
"Now that the mainland is facing the threat of false gods, it is precisely the time when all forces need to unite. Are you trying to sabotage the grand plan to fight against false gods with your actions?"
Upon hearing Wang Fan's words, the leader's face instantly turned extremely ugly, alternating between red and white.
He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't find the right words.
After all, Wang Fan's words were all reasonable, and at this critical moment when a formidable enemy was at hand, his difficult behavior was indeed inappropriate.
The guards around them exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a hint of unease.
The tense atmosphere from just moments ago became somewhat delicate because of Wang Fan's words.
The leader gritted his teeth and said resentfully, "Hmph, don't think you can intimidate me with a few grand principles."
"Who knows if you're genuinely fighting against the false god? Maybe you're just here to stir up trouble." Although she was still being defiant, her tone had clearly softened.
Wang Fan sneered and said, "We've traveled all this way, how can you deny it with just a few baseless guesses?"
"If we were truly just opportunists, why would we invite trouble upon ourselves?"
"If you still don't believe me, you can send someone to inquire about the name of Wang Fan of the Snow Soul Ice Nest."
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a loud shout came from inside the city: "Stop! What are you doing?"
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged man in a magnificent fiery red robe walking quickly towards them, followed by several guards.
Upon seeing this man, the foreman's face turned deathly pale, and he hurriedly bowed his head in greeting: "Sir, your subordinate..."
The middle-aged man glared at the gang leader and snapped, "Get back! Do you know who you're talking to?"
"This is Wang Fan, the master of the Snow Soul Ice Nest. The Grand Elder has mentioned him many times and praised him highly. How dare you be so disrespectful!"
The henchman trembled with fear, quickly put away his weapon, and bowed deeply to Wang Fan: "Lord Wang... I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. I have offended you greatly. Please forgive me."
Wang Fan snorted coldly and didn't take it too seriously.
After all, time is of the essence, and the most urgent task is to discuss with Lieyan a strategy to fight against the false god.
The middle-aged man turned around and said to Wang Fan with a face full of apology, "Lord Wang, I am really sorry. This subordinate was ignorant and offended you. I hope you will not take it to heart."
"I am the border guard of the Land of Fire. I have been waiting for you here for a long time on the orders of the Grand Elder. When the Grand Elder learned that you were about to arrive, he specifically instructed me to receive you with the highest honors."
Wang Fan's expression softened slightly, and he said, "It's alright. I wonder where Elder Lieyan is now? We have come here today to discuss important matters."
The garrison commander respectfully replied, "The Grand Elder is currently in the council hall of the main city, discussing strategies to deal with the false god with various generals and strategists. I will arrange for carriages and horses to take you to the main city."
After saying this, the garrison commander immediately ordered his men to prepare carriages and horses.
Wang Fan and the others boarded the carriage and sped towards the main city of the Land of Fire.
Along the way, the garrison commander gave Wang Fan a detailed account of the current situation in the Land of Fire.
It turns out that ever since they learned that the false god was gathering power in the dark abyss...
The Land of Fire strengthened its border defenses and recruited warriors, stockpiled supplies, and actively prepared for war.
But from where will the false god launch its attack?
They still know very little about the extent of the evil forces hidden in that dark abyss.
Before long, the carriage arrived at the main city of the Land of Fire.
The main city is magnificent, with towering city walls that reach into the clouds. The city is bustling with people.
But upon closer inspection, one can see a hint of worry on everyone's faces.
The garrison commander led Wang Fan and the others directly to the council hall.
As soon as Wang Fan stepped into the council hall, he saw Lie Yan standing in front of a huge map of the continent, having a heated discussion with the people around him.
When Lie Yan saw Wang Fan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly came forward to greet him: "Brother Wang Fan, you've finally arrived! The situation is critical right now, and I've been waiting for you."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lie Yan, Wang Fan looked around.
Among the gazes of the people in the hall, there was curiosity and scrutiny.
There were even some who, like that petty leader, showed disdain for foreigners.
