Chapter 96 - Truth and Lies
Ding Fanqiu’s disciples noticed that Lu Zhou had been addressing their master without any honorifics so they were furious. However, there was nothing they could do.
Ding Fanqiu stood at the side with his hands on his back. He did not seem to care about Lu Zhou’s attitude. Instead, his attention was focused on Little Yuan’er.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou calmly stroked his beard. He looked left and right before he lightly jumped on Elephant King’s back and entered the chariot.
Little Yuan’er was unwilling to do the same. However, seeing her master’s actions, she had no choice but to get on the mount. ‘Since master is here, I don’t think these people will be able to do anything.’
The chariot was spacious. Lu Zhou and Little Yuan’er sat on the side where they could see the forest.
Soon after, Ding Fanqiu leaped into the chariot with light movements and sat on the other side. After he issued an order, Elephant King continued forward. Its footprints were deeply imprinted on the ground with each step it took. Its speed was also acceptable.
Lu Zhou was quite pleased. He nodded and said, “It’s not easy to tame Elephant King.”
Ding Fanqiu spoke with pride, “The Azure Dragon Association is backed by the Nether Sect… Yu Zhenghai, the Sect Master of Nether Sect, was my great disciple.”
Lu Zhou nodded indifferently. He would allow Ding Fanqiu to continue his act for now. ‘Although the Azure Dragon Association only has small fries, it’s much better to have these people clean up the mess for me. I want to save as many item cards as I can. They’re too valuable.’
Ding Fangqiu said confidently, “Since I’m here, the Azure Dragon Association will crumble.”
A short while later.
The disciple flew back. He bowed before he said, “Master, it’s as you’ve expected. When the members of the Azure Dragon Association heard that you’re coming, they ran off in fear.”
“Very good.” Ding Fangqiu waved his arm dismissively before he walked forward.
…
Meanwhile, in the Crouching Dragon, Darknet’s headquarters.
“I have a report, Sect Master. Old senior Ji has been spotted near Measure Heaven River.”
Si Wuya opened his eyes. He rose to his feet slowly and said indifferently, “The Nether Sect has also received this information. There’s no need for us to do anything… Impersonating the Evil Sky Pavilion will certainly bring calamity to those people.”
“Impersonating?” The subordinate was taken aback.
“Keep an eye on the Evil Sky Pavilion. Also, where’s the master of Fiend Temple now?” Si Wuya asked.
“In reply to your question, Sect Master, Ren Buping is at the Green Jade Altar now. He has the support of Zhang Yuanshan, the Sect Master of Righteous Sect Master.”
When Si Wuya heard this, he chuckled. His voice was low and deep. , “The Noble Path and Fiend Path are working with each other for nefarious reasons. This is the greatest joke under the heavens.”
“Sect Master, there’s another report.”
“What is it?”
“The leader of the Black Knights, Fan Xiuwen, went to the Evil Sky Pavilion before this, and his current status is currently unknown. Senior Sword Devil didn’t wait for Fan Xiuwen, and his current whereabouts are unknown. I… I didn’t dare to follow Senior Sword Devil.”
“Second Senior Brother is a humble and gentle person. There’s no need for you to fear him,” Si Wuya said slowly.
“I understand.” Contrary to his words, he shuddered inwardly. It was no surprise his words did not sound convincing.
“Sect Master, there are quite a lot of activities at Measure Heaven River lately… Are you certain there’s no need for us to monitor that place?”
Initially, Si Wuya planned to reject the proposal. However, after considering it, he decided it was better to be cautious. In the end, he said in a deep voice, “Leak this information to the palace. They should clean up their own mess.”
“A wise move, Sect Master. I’ll get to it right away.”
