Regardless of how humble Fan Xiuwen's tone of voice was or how respectful his attitude was, anyone with half a brain would be able to hear the hidden threat hidden in his words.
The power of the Evil Sky Pavilion stirred fear in the hearts of the people. Whether it was because of Lu Zhou or his nine disciples, even if they ignored Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, none of the troops dared to take the Evil Sky Pavilion lightly. What gave Fan Xiuwen the confidence to say such words or stop the Evil Sky Pavilion from meddling in the affairs of the Imperial Family if they wanted to? What does that mean?
Fan Xiuwen got up and cupped his hands together again. “Since you know the secret of my identity, senior elder, why did you put me in such a difficult position? Leng Luo had disappeared 300 years ago along with past graces and grudges. You are older than me so I should call you as an elder brother. To be honest, being on the blacklist is not something I am proud of. In fact, it has become an indelible stain in my life.” He spoke excitedly in a self-justifying manner that made people cringe when they heard his words.
The man who had been at the top of the blacklist and had committed every conceivable and unimaginable evil act under the heavens said that he was ashamed of his past and had turned to the street the truth? Is that not funny?
Fan Xiuwen continued to say, “To threaten you, the Black Knight would not dare to do such a thing. We're just delivering the palace message. There is nothing I can do even if you choose to reject this request.
Silence descended on the large hall again.
Mingshi Yin snorted, broke the silence again, and said, "If you knew your request would be rejected, wouldn't you just waste your breath by saying it in the first place?"
Duanmu Sheng spoke bluntly, “You asked the Evil Sky Pavilion not to interfere in the affairs of the palace... According to your logic, if we agree to your request, even if someone from the palace cuts me off, I will have to endure it and endure it?”
“…”
“The cultivation base of Fifth Junior Sister Zhao Yue was sealed by someone from the palace before she was sent to the holy altar for the marriage alliance. Who will answer for that? Who will answer the destruction of Dragon Fish Village?” Duanmu Sheng asked.
Everyone was shocked by Duanmu Sheng's eloquence. After all, he was a man who did not talk much.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, "Leng Luo, did you hear that?" It seemed that he agreed with Duanmu Sheng's words.
This gave Lu Zhou disciples confidence. After all, such a situation was impossible in the past. If they spoke out of place, they would bring disaster to themselves.
Fan Xiuwen cupped his hands and said, “I cannot defy the orders of the palace. Old senior, there is no need for you to lower yourself to the level of the palace. ”
"No, you don't understand." Lu Zhou got up and began to descend the stairs with his hands on his back.
This simple action caused Fan Xiuwen to stand up as well, clearly wary.
At this moment, Fan Xiuwen's four subordinates also felt a little worried.
Ji Tiandao is a villain known for his fiery temperament and unexpected mood swings. It wouldn't surprise anyone if Ji Tiandao lost his temper over the slightest disagreement.
Lu Zhou asked again, "Is the Black Knight responsible for the destruction of the Fish Dragon Village?" His knowing eyes were trained on Fan Xiuwen. He held the Deadly Attack Card in his hand as he waited quietly for his answer.
The question resonated throughout the hall.
When the weak and confused Ye Tianxin heard this question, his eyes widened. He looked at his master in disbelief before looking at Fan Xiuwen who was standing opposite his master. He felt his heart racing as he thought, 'Is there really another side to the story of the Fish Dragon Village?'
The atmosphere turned tense and heavy.
Fan Xiuwen did not answer Lu Zhou's question directly. Instead, he said, “Other tribes will never be allowed to exist in the land of the Great Yan. There are too many of them in the Heaven's Volcano River.” As he spoke, he casually glanced at Ye Tianxin. This is as good as direct acceptance.
Fan Xiuwen is smart. He knew that arguing about this matter or denying the truth was meaningless in this situation. The Evil Sky Pavilion would not have summoned him here if they did not have sufficient reason and evidence.
After hearing Fan Xiuwen's words, everyone exchanged glances.
"Did you damage the records in the palace and the local archives?"
"Yes." Yeah." Fan Xiuwen did not deny the accusations. Instead, he said, "Not many have access to the palace archives ... Old senior, do you have any informants in the palace?"
Lu Zhou suddenly turned around, ignoring Fan Xiuwen's question. "So you're the one who slandered me?"
However, Lu Zhou could not tolerate such a thing.
Fan Xiuwen quickly said, “Black Knights are just following orders! We're not the mastermind behind this... Moreover, from what I know, the sixth disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion is a traitor. Why are you pitting sheep against the palace for a mere traitor, old senior?
After hearing this, Ye Tianxin forced himself to stand up. With her mortal body, she grabbed the sword carried by one of the female cultivators of the Origin Moon Palace.
The spirit!
His blade gleamed coldly as Ye Tianxin thrust his sword towards Fan Xiuwen.
Bang out!
Fan Xiuwen did not move. His hands remain on his back. He was like a statue made of stone. The sword cracked and shattered when it landed on it.
Everyone is surprised.
Ye Tianxin's eyes were red. He said aggressively, “Who's the mastermind? Who'sis this?"
Whooshing sound!
Fan Xiuwen unleashed a surge of energy that pushed Ye Tianxin away. “Old Senior Ji, the Black Knight doesn't want to be enemies with the Evil Sky Pavilion. I've answered all your questions. As for the mastermind, forgive me for not being able to answer you. Since I've already conveyed the message of the palace to you, it's up to you what you decide to do, senior Elder.” Once he's done talking, he turns around and walks towards the door.
Upon seeing this, the four subordinates of Fan Xiuwen stood up and cupped their hands before leaving with their leader.
Fan Xiuwen took two steps forward before suddenly stopping. “However, as a junior, I have two pieces of advice for you, old senior. First, you better not fight the palace. After all, 10 years would pass in just the blink of an eye. Secondly, although the Black Knight cannot compare to the Evil Sky Pavilion, we are not easy to give up either. We will go now.”
Ever since they arrived at the Evil Sky Pavilion until now, they had been constantly ignored and unappreciated. They've never been treated like this before. They had to lose their pride and dignity here. Even Fan Xiuwen had acted humbly. However, after listening to Fan Xiuwen's farewell words, they felt extremely refreshed. The knot in their hearts seemed to have disappeared with his words. They consider his statement to be correct. After all, it was true that the Black Knight was not a submissive.
Before the five visitors could leave the pavilion, Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said in a deceptive calm voice, "Did I allow you to leave?"
“Hm?” Fan Xiuwen stopped in the middle of the road. His heart stopped beating.
"When I called you here, I had no intention of letting you go." Lu Zhou waved his hand.
Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin were eager for action. They thought their master would avoid conflict. After all, the Black Knight was sent by the palace. Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin were not individuals who did not know the vastness of heaven like Zuo Xinchan. They really did not expect the old man to be so unyielding!
Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound!
Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng instantly shot.
Fan Xiuwen turned around slowly and said, "Do you really want to do this for the sake of a traitor?"
Lu Zhou replied recklessly, “I will punish the traitor in time. This is not the place for you to tell me to go around. Tell me the mastermind behind the incident, and I'll leave your body intact.”
Awareness appeared on Fan Xiuwen. He returned to his seat. He cupped his hands and exclaimed, "Four Knights of Darkness ..."
"Yes, my Lord," replied the Four Knights of Darkness in unison.
"Since the Evil Sky Pavilion wants to witness the power of the Black Knight, we will grant their wish."
Bzz! Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!
Four hums rang out in the air before two Three Leaves avatars and two Golden Lotus Leaves appeared. The avatars, each 30 to 40 feet tall, towered over the others, shrouded in an intimidating aura.
