But now, in this hasty moment of attack, it definitely couldn't compare to when it was elegant and mysterious.
At this moment, everyone else had also arrived. Seeing the person in the black robe on the ground, Senior Brother Yun Tian instantly knew what was going on. This person was very likely the black-robed individual that the three chickens had talked about previously. He hurriedly said to Ye Tianfan, "I'll help you!"
After speaking, Senior Brother Yun Tian directed the seven sub-swords of the Seven-Star Sword to attack the black-robed man. Meanwhile, he seized the opportunity to position himself beside Ye Tianfan. Bai Feng also arrived on the scene and, upon seeing this, immediately launched several Magical Treasures into the attack. The others too prepared their Immortal Techniques, intermittently harassing the black-robed man.
"How is it? Are you injured?" Senior Brother Yun Tian asked, looking at Ye Tianfan's figure.
"I'm fine, but I was nearly caught!" Ye Tianfan felt a wave of fear after seeing everyone had come. If this person had been a desperado or an assassin sent to kill him, the influence from those two minutes just now would have been enough for him to die many times over.
"What happened?" asked Senior Brother Yun Tian in surprise. Based on Ye Tianfan's current strength compared to the black-robed man's, such a situation where Ye Tianfan nearly falls shouldn't occur, even if Ye Tianfan were careless. He shouldn't have been ambushed from such a distance.
"The black-robed man specializes in Illusion Techniques and is a master illusionist. I nearly got caught because I fell for his illusion." Ye Tianfan explained, looking down at the person in the black robe.
"Specializes in Illusion Techniques?" Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Yun Tian summoned the Kirin Seal, raising it to the highest level, allowing its light to envelop everyone.
"Alright, now his illusions are ineffective!" After doing this, Senior Brother Yun Tian remarked.
Seeing the range enveloped by the Kirin Seal, Ye Tianfan could only think to himself, "Are you a devil? You just nullified the enemy's only means of attack. There's nothing left to fight now!"
At this moment, the black-robed man also realized that his illusions were no longer effective. Moreover, seeing five people suddenly surrounding him, though only three were actively attacking, both Senior Brother Yun Tian and Ye Tianfan had yet to make a move.
After all, with the strength that Ye Tianfan and Senior Brother Yun Tian possessed, if they were serious, they could instantaneously defeat this black-robed man. Even with his previous ability in Illusion Techniques, he could only last a couple more moves, at most, to be completely taken down.
The reason they hadn't acted was partly due to the principle that more people ganging up on fewer is frowned upon in the righteous path, and partly because it was a good opportunity for the others to practice.
Realizing he had no hope of escape, the black-robed man raised his hands and said, "Stop fighting. I surrender. Whatever you want, just say it!"
Seeing that the black-robed man had surrendered, Senior Brother Yun Tian instructed Bai Feng and the others to stop, then descended.
But before approaching the black-robed man, he had Bai Feng use a Magical Treasure capable of sealing Spiritual Power to seal the man's power, ensuring safety first.
Just in case this black-robed man had any tricks left up his sleeve.
"Who are you?" Senior Brother Yun Tian asked the black-robed man face-to-face.
Such matters had to be left to Senior Brother Yun Tian to inquire about; after all, he was the team leader now. So, despite being stronger than Senior Brother Yun Tian, Ye Tianfan had no objections to him asking.
"I'm Crow!" The black-robed man answered submissively, without a hint of resistance.
"Crow?" Contemplating for a long time, Senior Brother Yun Tian couldn't recall who Crow was. It seemed he hadn't heard of him.
Senior Brother Yun Tian then looked around at everyone else, as if asking whether anyone recognized the name Crow.
Ye Tianfan and the others also appeared puzzled, looking at Senior Brother Yun Tian and indicating that they didn't know.
So, Senior Brother Yun Tian turned back with a slightly stern question, "Who exactly are you?"
Senior Brother Yun Tian believed the black-robed man was playing him, using any random, unfamiliar name to deceive him.
"Uh, well, it seems my name as the Illusion Crow hasn't spread as widely. But perhaps my previous title, you'll recognize it, right? I was once known as the Thunderbolt Eagle - Ah Kun!" The black-robed man proudly declared.
"Thunderbolt Eagle - Ah Kun? It's you?" Upon hearing this name, Senior Brother Yun Tian knew who this person was.
But Ye Tianfan and the others hadn't heard of him, each giving Senior Brother Yun Tian inquisitive looks, their expressions full of doubt.
"Thunderbolt Eagle - Ah Kun. In his early years, he was a renowned expert in the cultivation world, greatly cherishing his reputation. He had a father-son-like bond with his disciple, Thunderbolt Sparrow. He imparted all his Martial Arts to him. However, one day, for some reason, his entire cultivation was destroyed, and he was hung at the doorway of his disciple's home. At that time, his disciple Thunderbolt Sparrow was out on a journey and only discovered him three months later. Thunderbolt Sparrow hurriedly took him down and healed his injuries. But then, something unexpected happened.
The Thunderbolt Eagle slaughtered everyone in his disciple's house, stole all his disciple's wealth, and disappeared without a trace. I never expected to meet him here, under a hidden identity, with a new title. The most puzzling thing is how he managed to cultivate again after having his meridians severed." Senior Brother Yun Tian explained to Ye Tianfan and the others.
"Pah!" No sooner had Senior Brother Yun Tian finished speaking than Crow spat out and said, "Don't mention Thunderbolt Sparrow to me. That piece of scum who betrayed his master and ancestors. Who do you think hung me at his doorway? It was him. To get my secret technique, Myriad Thunder Moves, he subjected me to brutal torture, destroyed all my meridians, and left me a cripple."
Stunned by these words, Senior Brother Yun Tian froze. The story he had just recounted was the version universally accepted in the outside world, yet here, from the mouth of someone directly involved, a different version emerged. He asked: "Why do you say this? If things happened as you claim, why does the outside world spread the version I just shared? Furthermore, you slaughtered everyone in your disciple's house."
"Nonsense about slaughtering them all. They're all alive and well now. The version you heard was spread by him. The corpses found back then were people he found with similar builds to them, killed right before my eyes, one by one. Then he threw me into the wilderness. By the time my injuries healed, the rumors you mentioned were circulating out there. At that point, I no longer had the strength to contest it, so I could only endure it in humiliation." Crow said through gritted teeth, filled with hatred.
