The moment of life and death...

A gust of black whirlwind suddenly rose. The whirlwind swirled abruptly, moving as swiftly as a wind python or lightning, and abruptly swept up Purple Sun Immortal before hurling him a hundred meters away.

With a swish, the black whirlwind dispersed, revealing a person. A pale face, an expressionless visage like that of a dead person—none other than Sect Leader Black Whirlwind.

"Insolence!! How dare you kill someone from Wind Rain Pavilion right at its doorstep, Purple Sun Immortal? Aren't you being a little too audacious?!" Black Whirlwind coldly retorted, glaring at the Purple Sun Immortal lying on the ground like a dead dog.

As assassins of Wind Rain Pavilion, neither Wang Xiaoqiang nor others had used their Divine Sense to probe the cultivation base of Sect Leader Black Whirlwind. Yet, seeing how easily Black Whirlwind had tossed Purple Sun Immortal away, it was evident his cultivation had reached the level of Purple Mansion Immortal, of no low rank.

"Sect Leader Sir, Wang Xiaoqiang is using personal vendettas to abuse the power of Wind Rain Pavilion, slaughtering my Purple Sun Sect's Elite Disciples, even killing one Elder and more than a dozen skilled Disciples. I cannot swallow this grievance..." The Purple Sun Immortal clambered up from the ground, looking both aggrieved and furious as he pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang, speaking to Black Whirlwind.

"Personal vendetta? Do you have evidence?" With an unfeeling face like that of a deceased, Black Whirlwind asked coldly.

"I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, how could it be false." Purple Sun Immortal replied.

"What did you hear? Where are your witnesses?" Black Whirlwind remained unmoved, still with a cold expression.

"I am the witness myself." Purple Sun Immortal patted his own chest confidently.

"What if you are deliberately framing Wang Xiaoqiang?" Sect Leader Black Whirlwind asked. "After all, you are the Sect Leader of Purple Sun Sect, and with your disciples killed, naturally, you are angry. But you can't be the witness. If any of our Wind Rain Pavilion's people can testify that Wang Xiaoqiang abused power for personal vendetta, then I will deal with him right here and now..."

Sect Leader Black Whirlwind glanced coldly at Ling Xuefei and the other five, asking, "Did any of you find Wang Xiaoqiang could be guilty of abusing power for personal vendetta?"

"No!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Utter slander!"

...

Ling Xuefei and the other five all answered in unison. Though they had doubts about this mission, they understood the principle of supporting friends over reason. At this moment, they definitely wouldn't stand on Purple Sun Immortal's side.

"You heard it—Wang Xiaoqiang is innocent. He didn't abuse power for personal vendetta, he was merely executing a mission from Wind Rain Pavilion. The assassination missions from our pavilion are endorsed by Biluo Heavenly Emperor, and no one should object...

"What's that, Purple Sun Immortal? Do you have objections...?" Black Whirlwind's gaze fixed on Purple Sun Immortal, a cold glint flashing in his dead-fish-like eyes, hinting to a killing intent.

"No, I wouldn't dare," Purple Sun Immortal quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "I only suspected Wang Xiaoqiang of vindictive behavior, but I have never objected to the assassination missions of Wind Rain Pavilion."

"Then that's good." Black Whirlwind remarked, "Considering that you are the head of a major sect, this time I won't quibble with you. But let this matter end here. If you continue to harass Wang Xiaoqiang, don't blame me for being impolite..."

Purple Sun Immortal lowered his head dejectedly, though resentment lingered in his heart, he had to yield. He understood well that Black Whirlwind had advanced to the Purple Mansion Immortal level fifty years ago, making him no match for Black Whirlwind. Furthermore, even though the layout of Wind Rain Pavilion was small, its influence was vast. The Domain Lord, with his overwhelming power, had to respect it by three points, let alone their minor sect leader.

At the moment, Purple Sun Immortal had no choice but to leave dejectedly with his six elders.

Black Whirlwind glanced at Ling Xuefei and the other five, saying, "You all may go back now,"

His gaze then turned to Wang Xiaoqiang, instructing, "Wang Xiaoqiang, come to my room."

At these words, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart sank a bit, but he still replied, "Yes."

…

Then, the other assassins departed each to their own, while Wang Xiaoqiang followed Sect Leader Black Whirlwind to his room.

Sect Leader Black Whirlwind's room was spacious, twice the size of Wang Xiaoqiang's, and exceedingly luxurious and comfortable. It was probably the most opulent room in the Anyang Region Wind Rain Pavilion. Yet, for such an enviably grand room, Black Whirlwind rarely stayed there,

It was said he had a territory elsewhere where he usually resided, despite it being thousands of miles from the pavilion. Such distance was nothing for a Purple Mansion Immortal, especially for one known for remarkable movement techniques like Black Whirlwind. Such a distance could be traversed in the time it takes for a cup of tea.

"Have a seat." Black Whirlwind pointed to a sandalwood chair, indicating for Wang Xiaoqiang to sit.

Wang Xiaoqiang took the seat unceremoniously.

Yet, even before Wang Xiaoqiang settled in, Black Whirlwind said something that made him feel pierced, "Wind Rain Pavilion has always been stringent with its rules. As an administrator, taking personal revenge by misusing official power incurs capital punishment."

Wang Xiaoqiang steadied himself, remaining silent.

Sect Leader Black Whirlwind turned around, closely scrutinizing Wang Xiaoqiang, asking, "Wang Xiaoqiang, do you have a vendetta with Purple Sun Sect's Elite Disciple, Yanw Zhetian?"

"Yes," Wang Xiaoqiang admitted directly. He knew this matter couldn't be concealed, Black Whirlwind could undoubtedly dig it out.

Hearing this, Sect Leader Black Whirlwind's dead face revealed extreme fury, his eyes narrowing, fixing tightly on Wang Xiaoqiang, with a glint of coldness, "So, does that mean you pursued a personal vendetta in this mission?"

"No," Wang Xiaoqiang stated.

"Still arguing." Black Whirlwind released his Divine Sense, enveloping Wang Xiaoqiang. Under the overwhelming Power of Divine Consciousness, Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't move, even finding it slightly difficult to breathe.

"I am not arguing." Wang Xiaoqiang calmly said, "I do indeed have a grudge with Yanw Zhetian and wish to kill him, but I truly don't need to pursue a personal vendetta...

Yanw Zhetian's cultivation of Great Luo Golden Immortal Third Liquid Realm, I am at Great Luo Golden Immortal First Liquid Realm, I'm also in the Undying Golden Body - Great Completion Realm. I have mastered four cultivation techniques derived from the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique. Although in Qi Refining Cultivation, I am not up to Yanw Zhetian's level, in overall strength, I can completely crush him. Therefore, to seek revenge, relying on the power of Wind Rain Pavilion is simply unnecessary..."

Sect Leader Black Whirlwind pondered for a moment after hearing this, finding it plausible,

With Wang Xiaoqiang's current strength, eliminating Yanw Zhetian would be instant, needing no assistance. In fact, as long as Wang Xiaoqiang bides his time, waiting for the Sky Obscuring Lord to travel alone, he could single-handedly eliminate him. But he worried that waiting like this might take too long,

As they say, a gentleman's revenge is never too late for ten years, but Wang Xiaoqiang doesn't wish for this enemy to live too long.

"Then what was this all about?" Black Whirlwind asked.

"It's very simple, drifting in the Martial World, how can one not have a few enemies? I'm not the only one wanting to kill Yanw Zhetian. Someone placed a considerable bounty on his head, so naturally, I assign someone to kill him. It's a coincidence, and also a necessity, as anyone wanting to kill Yanw Zhetian without absolute certainty would hire us..." Wang Xiaoqiang finally found a reasonable explanation. Besides, the person who placed the bounty has been killed by Ding Chunqiu, dead without witness. Black Whirlwind could not verify it, even if he has suspicions. (To be continued.
