While Elder Lu Yun was in charge of onlythat he was a real Pseudo Ie of the outer disciple trial in Starlight City; he wouldn’t have even co City where only menial disciples were recruited!

Unless there were exceptional circumstances, he would only pass by the area at most

So ould he suddenly drop by at this , but he dared not to show the slightest disrespect toward Elder Lu Yun either Thus, he quickly rushed forward and bowed down, “City Lord Xue Gan pays respects to Elder Lu Yun!”

“Un,” Elder Lu Yun waved his hands casually before turning to Huo Jiange “How is it? Has he appeared yet?”

“Elder, I’uess is that he has sohe said as he gestured toward Dan Xiaotian

Yesterday night, while he was still at the Ethereal Hall, World’s Edge had asked hi In the end, there was indeed a court case happening here, and it was due to his presence that Dan Xiaotian was able to redress his grievances… Thus, even if Dan Xiaotian wasn’t World’s Edge, it was likely that he was related to him in one way or another!

“Him?” Elder Lu Yun looked at Dan Xiaotian doubtfully

With his eye of discernment, he could instantaneously tell hoerful Dan Xiaotian was… Great Sage 3-dan consummation!

A person of such cultivation was actually able to kill all of his disciples with ease?

“It’s like this…” Huo Jianghe began recounting everything that had happened to Elder Lu Yun

After hearing the story, Elder Lu Yun’s face darkened

To think that there would be someone ould dare to act so audaciously in the territories of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion… There was no way he could let thisa deep breath, he suppressed his displeasure before turning to look at the youngat the center of the court, “You are Dan Xiaotian?”

“That’s right, Elder Lu!” Dan Xiaotian bowed deeply as he replied

“Do you have any intention of joining the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion?” Elder Lu Yun asked

Dan Xiaotian was stunned for aa nod from his teacher, he immediately bowed down and replied, “It would be my honor to join the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion!”

“Very well!” Elder Lu Yun nodded “Form this day onward, you are an outer disciple of our sect! Anyone who dares to oppress you will be an enemy of our sect as well, and you can be certain that he will face the full wrath of our sect!”

“Ah…” Dan Xiaotian was stunned

He thought that Elder Lu Yun would want to test his prowess before coht that he was accepted so easily Everything happened so fast that it ale that the person standing before him was an elder of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, he would have definitely thought it was a farce!

He had long heard that Elder Lu Yun, as in charge of recruiting outer disciples, was a hot-blooded and straightforward person, and it seemed like those ruratulations on beco a disciple of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion!”

The first one to react was Xue Gan He congratulated Dan Xiaotian with a bright sn of aardness due to their earlier argu no heed to Xue Gan’s act, Dan Xiaotian took in a deep breath, and as if co to a major decision, he kneeled down on the floor and cried out indignantly, “Elder Lu, I beseech you to redress rievances!”

“Feel free to speak your mind!” Elder Lu Yun replied

“Our Dan Clan used to be a reat strength and influence, the City Lord Manor has always viewed us as a threat Thus, the City Lord Manor set us, and that eventually caused the death of all of s!” Dan Xiaotain passed a jade token over to Elder Lu Yun

After the Dan Clan had been destroyed, Elder Yi had devoted hi the truth behind the fall of the Dan Clan However, the athered, the more suspicious City Lord Xue Gan beca that the City Lord Manor would silence them, but with an elder of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion standing before him at this instant, he knew that there was no better opportunity for hiret of his

This was the will of his teacher as well

Elder Lu Yun took the jade token and took a look at it A moment later, his eyes narrowed in fury

Every evidence stored in the jade token indicated clearly that the deaths of all 97 members of the Dan Clan had an inseverable relationshi+p with City Lord Xue Gan’s doings

“What do you have to say for yourself?” Elder Lu Yun spat as he tossed the jade token over to Xue Gan

Xue Gan hurriedly picked up the jade token, and upon seeing the contents, his eyes widened in astonishment He swiftly kneeled onto the floor and cried out, “Elder Lu, these are all lies! I a City can testify to the friendly relations between the City Lord Manor and the Dan Clan! The very fact that there’s a reeh to show that I have nothing to gain by ainst the Dan Clan!

“Theresohter’s foolishness in listening to Xue Chen’s words and atte of you to investigate this matter carefully and return ive you a satisfactory answer!” Elder Lu Yun harru Xue Gan He looked at Dan Xiaotian and said, “While the evidence you have co,interval since then Furtheriven that Xue Gan is the city lord, if he were to intentionally hide his trails, I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it either!”

“I understand,” Dan Xiaotian replied with his head lowered

He knew that this would be the case He knew it all along

It had been ten years since tragedy struck the Dan Clan, and Xuanjiang City had changed a lot since then Even if the evidence co of time would render most of them unverifiable, which meant that they couldn’t be used to indict Xue Gan anymore

Further to kill even for a ement just to protect the reputation of the City Lord Manor Considering how huge the massacre of the Dan Clan was, he would have surely dealt with it promptly so that it would be impossible to link the incident to him anymore

“It would undermine the authority of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion if I were to sentence a city lord to death without proper justification! However, there’s an exception to the rule!”

At which, a glint flashed across Elder Lu Yun eyes as he continued on, “And that is… true strength! As long as you are able to display overwhel talents that would make you an asset to the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, you can be assured that the sect will side with you instead of a third-tier city lord The only way you can do that is to become an inner disciple of our sect If you are able to do so, you can be assured that the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion would resolve any proble so that you are able to focus on your cultivation!”

“Inner disciple?” Dan Xiaotian was stunned
