Little Yuaner also clearly distrusted him. I think that theres something fishy about him as well.

Lu Zhou stopped walking. He paused halfway on the staircase and said, How so?

Mingshi Yin bowed at Lu Zhou before walking up to Wei Zhuoyan. He said, Wei Zhuoyan, youve got guts.

Wei Zhuoyan said in a puzzled tone, Im not sure I understand your meaning, Mister Fourth.

Alright Thats enough. I know about your scheme Your scheme is too boring and predictable. Mingshi Yin shook his head.

I truly dont understand what youre trying to say, Mister Fourth. Wei Zhuoyans bearing was clearly different from when he had just arrived at the Evil Sky Pavilions great hall.

Would a grand commander-in-chief of the three armies, a man who holds vast military power, come here and atone for his sins on his own accord? Mingshi Yin laughed.

Wei Zhuoyan shook his head and said with a sigh, Ive had difficulty sleeping and eating these days. Ive been constantly thinking about it and was torn between various options. This has kept me up countless nights I cant do something against my good nature The incident of the Fish Dragon Village is my doing, and mine alone. Ill bear the consequences of my actions. The Evil Sky Pavilion is free to kill or torture me as they see fit.

Mingshi Yin was taken aback. Hes good with his words. Is he trying to bully me for being less eloquent? Moreover, its truly strange that his resolve is so firm.

Arent you going to beg for mercy?

I have no right to beg for mercy. Since I came here, I didnt think about leaving alive. However, I have one request.

And whats that?

I wish to take my own life.

Silence descended on the great hall.

This was the first time any of them had heard of such a request.

Ever since they drove away the ten great elites, the Fiend Temples Zuo Xinchan, the Black Knights Fan Xiuwen, or Hua Wudao with his obsession, they had not met someone like Wei Zhuoyan.

Wei Zhuoyans intention truly confused the others. The more humble he was, the more suspicious Mingshi Yin became.

Mingshi Yin walked up to Wei Zhuoyan and said in a low voice, Youre a Seven-leaf elite

Why do you doubt me so, Mister Fourth? The Evil Sky Pavilion has asked me to own up to my sins, and here I am! Could it be that you want me to return, amass my forces, and fight with the Evil Sky Pavilion? Wei Zhuoyan could not understand what Mingshi Yin wanted as well. You dont like it when Im going against you. Now that Im doing as you requested, you question my motive. What do I have to do to satisfy you? His thoughts were clearly written on his face.

Wei Zhuoyan seemed to have a point. Mingshi Yin scratched his head. For a time, he could not figure out what was wrong.

Duanmu Sheng and Little Yuaner could not figure it out as well.

In fact, it was wishful thinking to expect them to figure out what was wrong. After all, this was the first time they were faced with such a situation.

Little Yuaner finally said, Fourth Senior Brother, perhaps, he sincerely intends to repent by coming to the Evil Sky Pavilion since he has been troubled by this matter for a long time?

Little Junior Sister, youre too nave. I wont believe anything that comes out of this mans mouth Mingshi Yin said.

Little Yuaner protested weakly, But hes willing to die.

Well, yes, there was that. Wei Zhuoyan seemed ready to die without any qualms. How could Mingshi Yin find fault with this? However, he said disdainfully, Perhaps, hes hiding some terrifying witchcraft trap on him. Maybe hes waiting for master to approach him before he pulls the same stunt as the Ten Shamans to take all of us down! Such methods are too crude. He continued to add, Yes, yes, thats highly possible. Everyone! Move back! We cant let him achieve his goal!

Mingshi Yin sounded slightly paranoid, but he had a point.

From the moment Wei Zhuoyan entered and kneeled to offer his apology, everyone had already found it strange. He seemed determined to humble himself and apologize. This was not the way the commander-in-chief of the three armies would act.

Moreover, not too long ago, when Jiang Aijian passed on the Evil Sky Pavilions message to Wei Zhuoyan, Jiang Aijian had mentioned Wen Zhuoyan did not think much of it. This happened recently. Why did his behavior take a 180-degree change?

Everyone looked at Wei Zhuoyan again.

Wei Zhuoyan spoke with a straight face and a fearless tone, Even if Im trying to trick you, youre all guarded against me. You can think of me as a despicable person whos trying to plot against you, but please let me die

This was awkward.

Mingshi Yin prided himself on his intelligence, but he truly could not put his fingers on what was wrong.

Duanmu Sheng sighed as he shook his head and said, Perhaps, Little Junior Sister is right. He might be sincere.

Wei Zhuoyan said solemnly, Indeed. I have thoroughly repented.

That sounded awkward. It was one thing for another person to say this, but it was different coming out from his own mouth.

Enough, Lu Zhou said.

The great hall fell silent.

Mingshi Yin retreated with a sheepish expression on his face. He was too embarrassed to say anything else.

Lu Zhou sauntered toward Wei Zhuoyan.

Wei Zhuoyan who was still kneeling looked up and met Lu Zhous gaze when he saw Lu Zhou walking over.

It was said that the eyes were windows to a persons soul. Based on the look in Wei Zhuoyans eyes, it was clear that he was not afraid.

Lu Zhou looked down at Wei Zhuoyan and said indifferently, Youre really unafraid?

I dont even fear death Whats there to be afraid of?

What if youre not the only one I intend to kill?

Wei Zhuoyan was stunned.

At this moment, the great hall fell silent again. If a needle had fallen to the ground at this moment, they would have heard it.

Mingshi Yin, Duanmu Sheng, and Little Yuaner turned to look at their master. They really had to applaud their master for being so ruthless. Only their master could deal with a person like this.

Why do you have to do this, Pavilion Master?

Because youre not being honest

Wei Zhuoyan was taken aback again. He felt as though his thoughts had been laid bare. A sense of apprehension rose in his heart. However, he said, Thats not important Everythings not important. Didnt the Evil Sky Pavilion want me dead? Its meaningless to discuss other matters.

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, No, it does have meanings.

His disciples were puzzled by this.

Lu Zhou stared at Wei Zhuoyan and said with a sigh, Since you want to die, Ill fulfill your wish.

Okay Wei Zhuoyans okay sounded a lot less confident compared to before.

Lu Zhou raised his hand without any warning and struck Wei Zhuoyan with his palm! His Brahman Eight Meridians Primal Qi condensed into energy and landed squarely on Wei Zhuoyans chest.

Bam!

Wei Zhuoyan reeled from the impact!

General!

General!

The soldiers exclaimed with shock.

Thud!

Wei Zhuoyan fell to the floor and continued sliding backward. He slid all the way into the midst of the soldiers.

The others looked at this scene with a dumbfounded expression.

They all knew how terrifying their master could be. He was even capable of killing an elite like Ren Buping with a single palm strike. On top of that, the technique he had used was the Nine Cuts Hand Seals. This technique could shock heaven and earth and make the deities cry. Why was it that their master only sent Wei Zhuoyan flying? Wei Zhuoyan was not even hurt.

Isnt this palm strike too weak? The disciples were baffled by this. They looked at Wei Zhuouan who had sat back up as he pressed a hand to his chest.

Lu Zhou said, Is this the same Wei Zhuoyan with a Seven-leaf avatar?

Wei Zhuoyan endured the pain and said, Ive already owned up to my sins If you want to kill me, please make it quick.

Fool, Lu Zhou cursed.

Hm? Wei Zhuoyan was stunned.

Lu Zhous voice was stern as he said, Come clean, and I wont punish you for impersonating Wei Zhuoyan!
