Satke Tackling
Chapter 83: Fan Xiuwen

The Dark Knight did not reply and caught up with the others. Since the five of them were wearing masks, not a single expression was in sight. They left the Black Knights left at the foot of the mountain as they climbed the stairs leading to the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Halfway up the stairs, Fan Xiuwen suddenly stopped and asked indifferently, “Who is hiding in the shadows?”

A flash of black clothes flew between the trees on the right before jumping from one tree to another. Little Yuan’er stood on the branch. He frowned and said, “Jelek. He described them as ugly, not scary.

One of the Dark Knights spoke in annoyance, “Master, the Evil Sky Pavilion doesn't seem to have much respect for us!”

Fan Xiuwen raised a hand to cut him off. Then, they continued up the mountain. If he could accept Mingshi Yin killing his four knights but could not tolerate this humiliation, how could he be respected as the leader of the Black Knights? When he was at the top of the blacklist, there was no lack of contempt thrown at him. Regardless of how bad the humiliation was, he did not put it into his heart. His years of training made it easy to overlook such things.

Yuan’er lightly pulled Mingshi Yin's face before she flew back up the mountain. Perhaps, he was the only one who could climb up and down the mountain freely because he was loved by his master.

Mingshi Yin shook her head helplessly and said, “My Little Junior Sister has always been like this. Please don't take it seriously. ”

Fan Xiuwen said indifferently, “No problem. ”

A moment later, they arrived at the Evil Sky Pavilion and slowly walked into the large hall.

Mingshi Yin swept her gaze across the hall. He found Zhao Yue and Ye Tianxin also present. They sat in chairs, looking tired. Meanwhile, Duanmu Sheng, Zhou Jifeng, Pan Zhong were standing on the left.

Fan Xiuwen placed one hand on his straight stick-like back. His four subordinates stood in pairs behind him.

The large hall was silent at this moment. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the five visitors.

Fan Xiu Wen looked at Lu Zhou, the old man sitting at the highest spot in the hall. He was stunned when their eyes met. Rumor has it that Ji Tiandao's days are counted. Ji Tiandao's 1,000-year cultivation would return to nature after his time was up.

Fan Xiuwen had always had the talent to measure the aura of one's life. Indeed, this old man only had about fifteen years left in him. However, he could not measure the old man's cultivation base. If he were to forcefully try to investigate the old man's cultivation base, it would be equivalent to a blatant provocation. This is not the most rational action. After a while, he said in a way that was neither condescending nor domineering, “Fan Xiuwen respected Senior Ji. ”

At the same time, the four subordinates of Fan Xiuwen cupped their hands as greetings as well.

Lu Zhou could not see their faces. Expressions calm. One would find it difficult to read his thoughts based on his expression. He said condescendingly, “Sit down. The tone was similar to the tone that someone with a higher status used when talking to those of lower status.

Fan Xiuwen cupped his hands together before sitting down. “Heard you wanted to meet me, Senior Ji. I didn't dare to delay so I led the Black Knights here without stopping. I wonder what things you want to discuss with me, Senior Ji? ”

Lu Zhou stroked his beard. He pointed towards Ye Tianxin and casually said, “I'm sure you recognize this person ..”

Fan Xiuwen shifted his gaze from behind his mask. He saw Ye Tianxin sitting on the chair opposite him. He's very pale. He shook his head and said, “Unfortunately no. He sounds honest.

Yuan’er small suddenly giggled and said, “This is my master's sixth disciple. She is my older sister, Ye Tianxin…! ” He made a spitting sound before saying, “Traitor!”

“So, he's Evil Sky Pavilion's sixth disciple. I'm sorry for my rudeness, ” Fan Xiuwen said softly.

Lu Zhou nodded and calmly said, “Do you know about Dragon Fish Village?”

Fan Xiuwen's body immediately stopped. However, his thick and heavy armor and mask hid his expression. No one knows what he's thinking. After a while, he shook his head, indicating he did not know about the Fish Dragon Village. After all, the village was too small. As the leader of the Black Knight, why did he remember such a small village? He asked, “Why are you asking about Dragon Fish Village, old senior?”

Ye Tianxin,” Lu Zhou said firmly.

Ye Tianxin slightly shuddered. He supported himself and spoke without tone in his tone, “The Fish Dragon Village has a population of about 354 villagers. About 150 years ago, it was completely destroyed.. ”He did not continue speaking after that.

Fan Xiuwen nodded and said, “So. I am truly sorry to hear that the Fish Dragon Village has been destroyed. However ... “He turned to Lu Zhou and asked,” Is this the reason you called me here, senior? “

“That's right,” said Lu Zhou indifferently.

“What does this have to do with me?”

“Notes of palaces and local archives mention that I was the one who destroyed Dragon Fish Village. Although Lu Zhou was unable to see Fan Xiuwen's expression, it did not escape his view that Fan Xiuwen's body had moved slightly once he finished speaking. He wondered if this showed Fan Xiuwen's shock or nervousness.

“Is that so?” Fan Xiuwen asked, a hint of shock could be heard in his voice.

When Lu Zhou spoke of himself as the culprit, everyone could see the unnatural expression on Ye Tianxin's face.

“Black Knights are special forces of the Great Yan Imperial Family. They operate in the shadows. It is only natural that the palace archives do not mention his strength, ” Lu Zhou said calmly.

Fan Xiuwen cupped his hands and said, “Every cultivator knows that the Black Knight is a special power of the Imperial Family. ”

“The Black Knights have never been to Measure Heaven River?” Lu Zhou asked.

When Fan Xiuwen heard the question, he acted as if he was expecting it. He's a smart guy. As soon as Lu Zhou pointed at Ye Tianxin, he knew Lu Zhou would ask about the matter.

Fan Xiuwen laughed hoarsely, his laughter echoing in the pavilion. “Alright, let's put aside the incident in Dragon Fish Village for now. Actually, I came here today to discuss a certain matter with you, senior. ”

“Speak,” says Lu Zhou briefly.

The palace has a message for you. Fan Xiuwen's attitude suddenly turned respectful. “The palace will not hold the Evil Sky Pavilion accountable for its various deeds in the past. This included the killing of four Black Knights by Mingshi Yin. The palace was willing to let the past pass, but there was one condition ... “He paused for a moment before continuing saying,” the Evil Sky Pavilion should not interfere with the business of the Great Yan Imperial Family for the next ten years. ”

Silence descended on the large hall.

Some students exchanged glances among themselves.

Even Fan Xiuwen's four subordinates of trust did not know about this. However, they were relieved that the mission from the palace was just this. This request is simple. There were many cultivators in Great Yan. Some experts were worried about the power within the palace and would not interfere in the various affairs of the palace. Some of them were offered amnesty by registering and becoming part of the faction of some influential people.

After a slight pause, Fan Xiuwen added, “The Black Knight does not want to become enemies with the Evil Sky Pavilion nor do we have any rights or powers. I hope you can grant this request, old senior. “After that, he no longer spoke. After all, he had already stated his reason for being here.

Everyone looked at Lu Zhou, waiting for his answer.

However, Mingshi Yin broke the silence first with a small laugh. He said, “The last person in this hall who rambled with his own righteous attitude has flown with a crane to the Western Heaven. Are you trying to follow in his footsteps? ”

Fan Xiuwen cupped his hands together. “I don't dare. ”

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and finally said, “Leng Luo. ”

Fan Xiuwen's heart thumped fiercely upon hearing this. His body involuntarily stiffened for a moment.

Lu Zhou looked at Fan Xiuwen with a sharp look and said, “Are you trying to threaten me?”
