Chapter 80: On the Top of the Blacklist
The huge tree fell with a loud crash before the Black Knights before it shattered.
The black knight in the lead looked up before he gave the archer, Old Third, who was still hovering in the air, a meaningful look.
Old Third landed on his steed.
"I shall convey your message."
After that, the troop of black knights hurried along the small path toward the Divine Capital.
Shortly after, peace and quiet returned to the forest. Mingshi Yin walked out from behind a huge tree. He looked at the leaving black knights with interest. "Since four of them are so strong, it’s impossible for Fan Xiu Wen to be weak. Oh, master, who are you trying to provoke this time?"
The Four Dark Knights’ cultivation bases were almost at the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm while the remaining black knights’ cultivation bases were at the Divine Court realm. Without considering the great and second disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, these black knights could have fought on par with the Evil Sky Pavilion. There was no way that a person who commanded these people was a nobody in the cultivation world.
Mingshi Yin’s curiosity was piqued. He wondered aloud, "Fan Xiuwen, who are you?" He tapped the ground with a foot and flew up to the trees with the agility of a swallow. His Bluewood Heart Technique was at its full potential in a forest. He moved with lightning speed before he seemed to vanish without a trace.
…
When the Black Knights arrived in the Divine Capital, they did not go into the city immediately. Instead, they skirted around the capital and continued north.
The Imperial Guards guarded the capital. The Black Knights were a covert group and only operated in the shadows. Their existence was not publicly acknowledged. Naturally, their base was not located in the capital. Only a handful of people knew of the location of their base.
…
At the foot of a hill. The Black Knights Headquarters.
The Four Dark Knights entered a hall at the same time.
"My lord, we’ve completed our mission. The Upper Prime City’s traitor has been eliminated by the Black Knights."
Four of them kneeled on the ground and cupped their hands together.
A long brown and empty table stood before them. Next to the table, a tall and muscular man dressed in black armor stood with his back facing them.
"Very good." The voice was hoarse and deep.
"My lord, I have another report."
"Speak."
"We encountered a villain from the Evil Sky Pavilion on our way back. The Evil Sky Pavilion has a message for you."
The Four Dark Knights exchanged glances. Their leader paused for a moment before he said, "The Evil Sky Pavilion wants to meet you. They’ve given us three days." He had softened Mingshi Yin’s words out of fear of angering his leader.
Fan Xiuwen was not angry. Instead, he turned around slowly and walked toward the table before gracefully taking a seat. He wore a mask as well. Even his face was completely covered. No one knew what he looked like.
After a moment’s silence, Fan Xiuwen chuckled before he said in his deep voice, "This is a tribulation that I must face in my lifetime."
"My Lord, the Evil Sky Pavilion is notorious in the cultivation world. It has produced nine great villains over the centuries whose names shocked the lands. The patriarch of the Fiend Path, Ji Tiandao, possesses an unfathomable cultivation base. My lord, I suggest that we avoid the Evil Sky Pavilion…"
