Chapter 1069: If there’s no way to avoid, then fight it
Lu Xuan’s killing intent was almost undisguised because there was no need to hide it. From the conflict just now, he knew that there was no chance for the two sides to ease up.
Since that was the case, then it would be best to shed all pretense of cordiality!
“Venerable Han Lin, is this the person you value?” Venerable Zhang Yuzhou shouted angrily.
Venerable Han Lin glanced at Venerable Zhang Yuzhou and he said, “Could it be that what he said is not true? Just now, you wanted to make a move and everyone saw it. It is inevitable for the younger generation to clash. Venerable Zhang, you are making a fuss.”
Everyone’s expression was indifferent. To Venerable Han Lin, Lu Xuan, who was over a hundred years old, could indeed be considered a younger generation.
“What if I have to kill him?” Venerable Zhang Yuzhou said coldly. His tone was cold and merciless, with a hint of killing intent.
“If I don’t allow, no one can kill him!” Venerable Han Lin said lightly, faintly suppressing Venerable Zhang Yuzhou.
Everyone held their breaths and concentrated. This shocking confrontation could very well turn into an internal conflict within the Great Void Pavilion.
Everyone knew that the Great Void Pavilion was formed today because of the disappearance of the Great Void Immortal King. This made it impossible for the entire Great Void Pavilion to form a true leader.
Even the current pavilion master, Venerable Han Lin, had a challenger like Venerable Zhang Yuzhou. There was no way for him to truly keep his word.
“You will regret it sooner or later!”
Venerable Zhang Yuzhou said coldly. “There are a lot of surprises in this world. You might not be able to reach the end with talent!”
“Then you don’t have to worry about it. Use whatever means you have!” Lu Xuan said indifferently.
He knew that Venerable Zhang Yuzhou would definitely try to target him, but he didn’t care anymore. It was nothing more than Venerable Zhang Yuzhou’s method of targeting him, putting it on the table in private.
This way, he would be more relaxed and Venerable Zhang Yuzhou had to be wary. After all, he just had a conflict with Lu Xuan. If something happened to Lu Xuan, everyone would know that it was Venerable Zhang Yuzhou who did it.
He was definitely going to take the blame.
Venerable Zhang Yuzhou glared at Lu Xuan, as if he wanted to kill him with his gaze, but he didn’t say anything.
He was very clear about Venerable Han Lin’s strength, and it was not the first or second time they had fought. Other than suppressing him a few times when Venerable Han Lin was still weak, the rest did not have much of an advantage.
Especially in recent years, Venerable Han Lin’s strength had become more unfathomable, and Venerable Zhang Yuzhou had started to decline because of his old age, so there was no chance of victory in the fight.
Venerable Zhang Yuzhou waved his hand and took the dying Zhang Tao away. He turned into a streak of light and disappeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
“Alright, disperse!”
Venerable Han Lin waved his hand, and everyone dispersed like birds and beasts.
No one expected that the battle between the two most outstanding young geniuses of the Great Void Pavilion would almost turn into a clash between two big shots.
In a certain hall of the Great Void Pavilion.
“Lu Xuan, I’ve long heard of your name. I didn’t get to meet you before for various reasons. Now that I’ve met you, you’re indeed a dragon among men, a heavenly talent!” Venerable Han Lin said as he sat upright on the main seat.
“You flatter me, Venerable!” Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“You should be a peak gold immortal, right? Golden Immortal will be in sight soon!” Venerable Han Lin said with a smile.
Lu Xuan had displayed an earth-shattering cultivation base today. He had crippled Zhang Tao with one slap. As a peak gold immortal, it was not realistic for him to hide it.
However, Lu Xuan did not intend to hide it. It was his trump card on the surface, and his real trump card was that he could increase his combat strength to the maximum at the critical moment.
Lu Xuan nodded and said, “It shouldn’t take long!”
“Very good, I didn’t misjudge you!” Venerable Han Lin said with a smile.
He was the one who insisted on recruiting Lu Xuan. Now that Lu Xuan had shown such astonishing strength, he naturally felt proud.
“However, you have completely offended the Zhang family. According to their vengeful character, they will not let it go easily!” Venerable Han Lin said with some worry.
“My appearance must be a thorn in their side. If I’m not wrong, before me, Zhang Tao should be the next generation of successors groomed by the Great Void Pavilion!” Lu Xuan said with a smile.
He could see that every faction had its own successors groomed.
Before he appeared, Zhang Tao was not only the successor of this small faction of the Zhang family but also the successor of the entire Great Void Pavilion. After all, his age was quite different from Venerable Han Lin.
It was extremely normal for him to be the successor.
However, now that he had Lu Xuan, Zhang Tao’s status had plummeted. Originally, for a first-tier faction, Zhang Tao’s talent and strength were not enough to support it. It could only be said that he was the tallest among the dwarves, and he had no choice but to do so.
Since Lu Xuan had appeared, then Zhang Tao could not become the successor of the Great Void Pavilion no matter what. The gap between the two sides was too obvious.
That was why Zhang Tao could not wait to make his move. If he could defeat Lu Xuan, even if it was to bully the weak, or even kill Lu Xuan, then he would still have a fighting chance in the future.
But now, Zhang Tao had completely failed.
“Now, Zhang Tao has no hope of succeeding. Even if he becomes a Golden Immortal in the future, he will definitely not be able to surpa.s.s you. So, if Zhang Tao still wants to succeed, there is only one way…” Venerable Han Lin stared at Lu Xuan and said.
“That is to kill me!” Lu Xuan continued.
Both of them were very clear that the situation between Lu Xuan and the Zhang family was already one of life and death. Unless Lu Xuan gave up on his plans to annex the Great Void Pavilion in the future, the Zhang family was a threshold that he had no choice but to cross.
This was the biggest problem. Lu Xuan would not give up such an opportunity!
However, Venerable Han Lin was obviously very satisfied with this. Lu Xuan came to the Great Void Pavilion and made his stance clear. He did not try to be a fence-sitter.
This time, Lu Xuan defeated Zhang Tao and severely damaged the prestige of the Zhang family. Many people had placed their bets on Zhang Tao, but now they knew that Zhang Tao was not reliable.
And the only person with such strength was only Lu Xuan.
“The Zhang family has a lot of connections in the Heavenly Court. Not only in the Great Void Pavilion, but also in the Nangong family, Zhao family, and so on. You have quite a number of enemies!” Venerable Han Lin said with a serious expression.
“After today’s battle, there will be many people betting on you, but those who want to kill you will be even more determined. No matter what, be careful!”
