In the Xuanhuo Sect Hall.
The Xuanhuo Sect Master invited Zhou Yu and the others to take their seats.
Zhou Yu sat in the primary seat, while the Sect Master sat in the subordinate position.
The Xuanhuo Sect Master cautiously asked:
"Mr. Zhou, is there any specific matter for your sudden visit?"
Zhou Yu smiled faintly and said:
"I heard that your Xuanhuo Sect has an arranged marriage with the Yan Clan."
"To have the Yan Clan’s Princess Yu Qingluan marry your son Yan Wushuang?"
The Xuanhuo Sect Master did not expect Zhou Yu to directly ask about this matter.
He glanced at Yu Qingluan beside him and saw that her eyes were filled with coldness.
Yu Qingluan opposed this matter, even at the cost of severing ties with her father and fleeing the Yan Clan.
These things he was aware of.
Originally, the Xuanhuo Sect Master had planned to continue pressuring the Yan Clan.
But after witnessing Yu Qingluan’s terrifying strength, he dared not proceed.
Especially now that his son Yan Wushuang is already dead.
And he was killed by Zhou Yu.
How could he dare to bring up this matter again?
At this mont, the Xuanhuo Sect Master promptly apologized:
"This matter... actually... is rely normal sect interactions!"
"My son rely wished to reach for the Yan Clan’s princess."
"But ultimately, a toad cannot eat swan at."
"Moreover, now my son... he is already dead..."
"This matter... shouldn’t be ntioned..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled faintly.
"Sect Master, Yan Wushuang was killed by ."
"You must be aware of that, right?"
"Don’t you resent ?"
How could the Xuanhuo Sect Master not resent him?
But he dared not show it.
At least, not now.
He quickly bowed and said:
"Mr. Zhou, I understand my son’s character well!"
"He must have offended you, Mr. Zhou, in so way."
"Since he caused offense to you, Mr. Zhou, then his death is deserved."
"As the saying goes, a son’s misbehavior is the father’s fault, this matter is not anyone else’s fault, but my own!"
Upon hearing this, a cold smile flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes, and then he said calmly:
"The Sect Master sees things clearly, and thinks openly."
"However, I am still curious, how did the Yan Clan Leader agree to this arranged marriage with your Xuanhuo Sect?"
"Logically speaking, your Xuanhuo Sect’s strength is not comparable to the Yan Clan’s."
"Even if the Yan Clan is in trouble, they wouldn’t go so far as to fail to protect their princess."
Faced with Zhou Yu’s inquiry, the Xuanhuo Sect Master’s face showed so avoidance.
However, he still said:
"Mr. Zhou, this matter, I... I don’t know either..."
"Maybe, the Yan Clan Leader intends to bring us under their banner..."
"After all, our two sects belong to the Fire Attribute faction, and from the perspective of cultivation techniques, there aren’t any conflicts."
"Moreover, my son Yan Wushuang is a top-tier genius of the Xuanhuo Sect, perhaps the Yan Clan Leader has other considerations."
Upon hearing this,
"You’re talking nonsense!"
"My father would never favor your so-called genius."
"Surely you’ve used so disgraceful ans."
Yu Qingluan reprimanded coldly.
As for the Xuanhuo Sect Master, he lowered his head, neither explaining nor speaking.
Zhou Yu comforted Yu Qingluan, coaxing her to sit before speaking to the Xuanhuo Sect Master:
"Let’s not dwell on that matter."
"Let’s talk about your son."
"Yan Wushuang!"
"Do you know why I killed him?"
Faced with Zhou Yu’s question, the Xuanhuo Sect Master was silent for a mont, then shook his head.
"I don’t know!"
"Not knowing, I shall tell you!" Zhou Yu said calmly:
"Yan Wushuang was already infused with Demonic Qi, in other words, he had already interacted with a demon of the Dark Clan."
"As the Dark Clan is about to revive, their influence has already penetrated nurous Hidden Sects, even infiltrating the Mortal World."
"And Yan Wushuang is one of them."
"Such a person, if not eliminated soon, will bring unimaginably horrific consequences to the Martial Arts World."
"That is my reason for killing him."
"I wonder if the Sect Master finds this reason reasonable?"
The Xuanhuo Sect Master, with a gloomy expression, nonetheless nodded and said:
"Reasonable."
"Mr. Zhou, you did the right thing. I didn’t expect this son of mine to be so self-degraded, had I known, even if you didn’t kill him, I would have done so myself."
Upon hearing the Xuanhuo Sect Master’s words, Zhou Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"It’s rare for you to have such thoughts."
"Very good!"
"Then I am relieved."
"Actually, the purpose of today’s visit is to see whether anyone else in this Xuanhuo Sect has been tainted by Demonic Qi."
At Zhou Yu’s words, the Xuanhuo Sect Master’s eyelids twitched instinctively.
Yet Zhou Yu continued as if unconcerned:
"I assu the Sect Master wouldn’t refuse my request to inspect the entire Xuanhuo Sect, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Xuanhuo Sect Master’s expression changed, he took a deep breath and said:
"Mr. Zhou, I... I agree with your idea."
"But, not all of my Xuanhuo Sect’s people are currently in the sect; how about you rest for two to three days first?"
"I will imdiately send out a summon, having all personnel return to the sect."
"At that ti, you can conduct your check."
However, Zhou Yu decisively replied:
"No need to wait, let’s do it now."
"Let them gather in the square."
The Xuanhuo Sect Master wanted to delay, yet did not anticipate Zhou Yu disregarding his plans entirely.
With no other choice, he could only order all personnel to assemble in the square.
Soon, over a thousand people appeared in the square.
Many showed expressions of confusion.
What’s this about?
Amidst the confusion, a figure suddenly soared into the sky, arriving above the Xuanhuo Sect.
This person was Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu held a Small Tripod in his hand, known as the Green Spirit Tripod.
Under Zhou Yu’s command, the Green Spirit Tripod emitted a cyan-colored light shield.
The light shield swiftly enveloped the whole Xuanhuo Sect.
Then, it began emitting a peculiar fluctuation.
Seeing the Small Tripod, the Xuanhuo Sect Master was initially stunned, then he showed a look of perplexity.
This thing, he seed to have seen sowhere.
Yet for the mont, he couldn’t recall.
At that point, sothing strange happened...
