Regarding the escape of the black robe elder, Xu Fan was actually not surprised. In fact, even if the black robe elder couldn't escape, Xu Fan would have intentionally let him go.
The reason is simple: Xu Fan did not want to hasten the arrival of celestial beings on Earth.
Now, with Xu Fan having activated the Second Layer of the Dragon Divine Art, even at the peak of the Kai Yang Realm, few could pose a threat to him. However, should he kill the black robe elder, it would justifiably invite the arrival of celestial beings. The current situation is already one where a single move affects the entire situation. If the Demon Lord acts, the four Immortal Emperors will certainly act as well, making the situation increasingly uncontrollable.
However, not killing the black robe elder doesn't an Xu Fan forgives his actions.
It's a joke. The entire Dark Council is in the Western World; the Speaker of the grand Dark Council can't escape forever, can he?
Moreover, during the Blood Banquet's maneuvers of wits and courage, the black robe elder learned so "secret information" Xu Fan wanted him to know, while Xu Fan also gleaned much information, such as the mission concerning senior Li Long.
Luring out the black robe elder isn't difficult.
Attacking Xu Fan, how could Xu Fan not make him pay a heavy and imnse price?
Xu Fan looked icy, expressionless, and quietly pondered, causing great anxiety among the Blood Clan mbers below.
This group, already terrified by Xu Fan, couldn't withstand his expressionless "Death Stare." Especially since their Speaker had just caused a huge ss, they faced Xu Fan with little confidence, fearing he would vent his anger on them.
Under enormous pressure, finally, soone's psychological defenses broke, and with a thud, they kneeled on the ground, weeping and begging for rcy. It was Vega.
"Mr. Xu, it's not our fault!"
It's laughable. Just a mont ago, Vega was racking his brains to save face, trying to convince his companions that he was no match for Xu Fan only because of a montary lapse, and that if given another chance, he might not necessarily lose.
Yet now, Vega was like a dog wagging its tail, kneeling and pleading for rcy, hoping for Xu Fan's pity and forgiveness.
Face and dignity seem utterly trivial when one's life is under severe threat.
"Mr. Xu, we were completely unaware!"
"Yes, we are different from the Speaker; we have never been disrespectful to Mr. Xu!"
One took the lead, and soon, another two or three followed, kneeling on the ground, trying to portray a pitiful appearance, fearing they might anger Xu Fan.
If soone passed by and saw this scene, they would surely be shocked.
The normally high-and-mighty figures, looking down on everything, showing such a pitiful appearance! How extraordinary!
As for Dora, fortunate enough to witness this, her expression was exceedingly complex, occasionally looking up at Xu Fan with an indescribable expression, then lowering her head as if worried Xu Fan might notice her unusual expression.
Xu Fan indeed did not notice Dora in the corner, and he sneered, walking step by step in front of the shivering Vega, reaching out to lightly pat Vega's face, "I heard you're quite familiar with Nash?"
Xu Fan long noticed that Nash the Marquis was not among the crowd.
Terrified, Vega didn't even feel the humiliation of being tapped on the face, his mind filled only with intense fear.
This was soone even the Speaker couldn't contend with!
It's unclear if Vega was crying or smiling, but with a trembling voice, he anxiously said, "Mr. Xu, I don't know—no, I'm not familiar with Nash at all!"
"Hmm?"
With just a hum from Xu Fan, Vega slapped himself and hastily changed his words, "Mr. Xu, I am familiar with Nash; he is my man. Should Mr. Xu have any orders, I can bring Nash to you right away!"
Xu Fan obviously seed satisfied with Vega's attitude, grinning broadly, while Vega nearly fainted from fear.
In Vega's eyes, Xu Fan was more terrifying than the devil at this point!
"This guy's courage is pathetically small..." Xu Fan mused silently and, no longer intimidating Vega, lightly patted his face, "Rember to tell Nash when you return. My visit to the Dark Council was per senior Li Long's order, intending to cooperate with the Dark Council. But now, I'm not pleased."
"If your Speaker doesn't want this incident exposed and becoming widely known, he'd better co to the Forces of Light with enough sincerity to find ."
The black robe elder ran, but one can't just leave the Dark Council behind, especially so close to the millennium opportunity. Otherwise, even if the black robe elder escapes to the ends of the earth, the upper realm would send soone to skin him alive.
And Nash the Marquis, being the black robe elder's other self, would naturally remain at the Dark Council, observing the situation.
Therefore, Xu Fan specifically asked Vega and the others to convey a ssage to the black robe elder: I originally intended to cooperate with you, but now I'm very displeased. Want to live? Bring sincerity to the Forces of Light to find .
What does it an?
Xu Fan represents senior Li Long; the black robe elder is well aware of this. Whether Xu Fan's claim of cooperation is true doesn't matter. What matters is that if the upper realm learns that the black robe elder ssed everything up, causing the Demon Lord to be potentially targeted as senior Li Long's primary target, the black robe elder will undoubtedly die!
This is precisely why Xu Fan wasn't worried about the black robe elder escaping earlier.
The black robe elder accepted the fabricated background Xu Fan created, leaving Xu Fan with ample room to maneuver! Xu Fan had a hundred ways to make the black robe elder unable to live or die!
"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Xu, rest assured, I will definitely deliver the ssage!" Vega and the others naturally didn't understand the relationship between Nash the Marquis and their Speaker, nor did they understand why Xu Fan was so confident that a single word from him assured their Speaker would definitely co to their mortal enemy, the Forces of Light, to apologize.
But Vega knew that if he didn't quickly agree, he would surely die miserably!
Xu Fan glanced at the terrified group of Blood Clan mbers and coldly spat out a single word, "Scram!"
The group of Blood Clan mbers fled in a panic, quickly disappearing from view.
Having dealt with matters here, Xu Fan nonetheless hadn't released his Dragon Form State, his cold gaze fixed on Dora, his tone playful as he asked, "You are called Dora? Should I address you as Mr. Bat or Your Excellency?"
Mr. Bat, of course, refers to the Blood Clan, while Your Excellency is a title from the Forces of Light.
Upon hearing Xu Fan's words, Dora, who had been silently lowering his head, abruptly looked up in shock at Xu Fan, "How do you know? This…is impossible!"
