The face of the black-robed elder suddenly turned grim.
"Mr. Xu, what do you an by that?"
As the Speaker of the Dark Council and a super powerhouse of the Kai Yang Realm, the black-robed elder could hardly be without his own temper. Ever since Xu Fan arrived in the Western World, the black-robed elder had thoroughly investigated Xu Fan's background. Although many things, such as how Xu Fan contacted Li Long, and how he killed the elder Taoist leader on Immortal Mountain were unclear, the things Xu Fan accomplished in the Western World could not escape the eyes of the black-robed elder.
The matters connected to Xu Fan were really too important! Therefore, regardless of whether Xu Fan cooperated with him, the black-robed elder would use all available thods to investigate Xu Fan thoroughly!
This intentionally arranged drama was rely part of the black-robed elder's plan!
Several big figures in the Dark Council also stood up in unison, each with an unfriendly expression, pressuring Xu Fan.
Vega, who was previously nad by the black-robed elder, now seed to be showing his loyalty. He had long stood out and angrily rebuked Xu Fan, "Xu Fan! You ca to the Dark Council, and the Speaker treated you as a guest, honoring you greatly. How dare you disrespect the Speaker, do you think we are easily intimidated?"
The atmosphere quickly beca strained and hostile.
Despite being the center of everyone's focus, Xu Fan remained calm, though his face grew colder.
Before attending the feast, Xu Fan had already ntally prepared himself. How could a great power like the Dark Council on Earth be easily swayed by re words?
In the end, a major confrontation was unavoidable!
Xu Fan cast a cold glance at Vega, with an air of arrogance, and his voice was full of disdain, "Do you have any right to speak? One more word, and you'll be killed!"
Surrounded by many powerful figures of the Dark Council, Xu Fan openly threatened Vega!
Vega was furious, his face flushed, but thinking of Xu Fan's terrifying strength, able to retreat him with one kick and severely injure Dora with one punch, he realized that taking the lead might just get him killed by Xu Fan.
Humph! Vega only snorted coldly, displaying his loyalty before the Speaker, but he was secretly panicked, not daring to take any further action.
This scene left the other experts who were prepared to attack Xu Fan feeling incredulous and increasingly apprehensive.
The black-robed elder's face was equally unpleasant. Xu Fan's assertiveness and his subordinates' timidity were unexpected for him. However, the black-robed elder, who had already made thorough preparations, could not easily let Xu Fan go.
With a sinister smile, the black-robed elder spoke, "Mr. Xu, I know you are a person of Senior Li Long, but you must also know that the reason I treated you with respect was because of Senior Li Long. Otherwise, as strangers, why would I treat you this way?"
"That's right. You represent Senior Li Long now, but what happened today is unrelated to Senior Li Long, right? I treated you with respect, never being disrespectful. Yet you repeatedly disregard my Dark Council, relying on Senior Li Long. I believe even if Senior Li Long were here, he wouldn't say that my Dark Council is mistreating guests, right?"
These words not only separated Xu Fan's relationship with Li Long but also claid the moral high ground.
Furthermore, these words were full of probing intent. Is Xu Fan soone Li Long pushed forward, or does he just have a slight connection?
As long as Xu Fan made so concessions or showed any sign of weakness, the black-robed elder would undoubtedly take action and seize Xu Fan, using him to interrogate all matters concerning Li Long.
This ti, the big figures of the Dark Council did not dare to pressure Xu Fan further, watching as if witnessing a battle between two deities, with puzzled expressions. Who is Senior Li Long that even the Speaker fears?
The two people locked in mortal combat also stopped completely at this point, exchanged a glance, and silently watched from where they stood.
Even they understood that in today's circumstances, they were nothing but pawns in the hands of the Speaker, pieces brought out to deal with this human.
This kind of clash, even if it's only verbal, was far beyond their level of comprehension.
Thus, at this mont, the two could only stare blankly, feeling utterly confused inside.
"Hehe."
Suddenly, Xu Fan laughed, "The Speaker wouldn't forget the events that happened a thousand years ago, would you?"
A thousand years ago, four Immortal Emperors joined forces to besiege the Heavenly Witch Sect, launching a surprise attack on Li Long, imprisoning Li Long and his ten Ferocious Beasts, while capturing and subduing the strong of various races as mounts.
This significant event is, of course, known by the black-robed elder, "I rember."
"Since you rember, does the Speaker think that Senior Li Long would believe what you say? Or does the Speaker think that I, alone in your Dark Council, have already beco yours?"
Upon hearing this statent from Xu Fan, the black-robed elder's tone softened slightly, "As you are representing Senior Li Long, naturally, I would not harm you, yet now it is you who are transgressing against . If I don't demand justice for the Dark Council, how could the Dark Council possibly stand?"
No choice but to yield, Xu Fan's words made it clear: he was equally prepared before arriving at the Dark Council, possibly even coming on the orders of Senior Li Long. If any incident happens, the Dark Council would face the wrath of Senior Li Long.
Such a figure who was only defeated by the combined power of four Immortal Emperors! How could a re Earth-based Dark Council withstand Senior Li Long's ire?
Moreover, all four Immortal Emperors are enemies of Li Long, and Li Long has an equal likelihood of acting against any one of them. If the Dark Council moves against Xu Fan, it's tantamount to pushing the Demon Lord into Senior Li Long's grasp. Not just Senior Li Long, but even the Demon Lord would not spare them!
Under such circumstances, the black-robed elder had no choice but to back down!
As for whether Xu Fan was bluffing, the black-robed elder never considered that. Unless soone was crazy, who would barge into the Dark Council alone without absolute assurance?
Difficulty resembles a spring; the weaker you are, the stronger it becos, and negotiations are just the sa.
Snort!
Xu Fan let out a dismissive snort, "I call you Speaker out of respect for the Demon Lord. Does the Speaker really consider himself a sobody? Or does the Speaker think he has influence with the Demon Lord?"
With a cold laugh, Xu Fan showed no concern for the ever-darkening expression of the black-robed elder, "Am I bullying you? Would you dare claim so?"
The imposing manner was overbearing; in Xu Fan's eyes, the Speaker of the Grand Dark Council wasn't even qualified to be bullied by him!
"You!"
The black-robed elder was trembling with rage, but suddenly seed to think of sothing, and his fury quickly dissipated.
"I misunderstood the gentleman earlier. Since you don't like this arranged drama by my Dark Council, then let's end it early! Dora, don't you act?"
