Chapter 302 Taiyi Twin Lotuses
The banquet hall was silent as the grave.
Every person was frozen in place; their breathing might well have stopped for all the sound it made.
After a long moment, Zou Zhengyan was the first to break the silence. Clearing his throat, he said, "Young man, I must clarify that I am not a friend of Lu Jiuxuan. Lu Jiuxuan is arrogant and obsessed with female beauty, and he has harmed who knows how many innocent girls. I came to his banquet today only because I was coerced by his lewd power. You killing him is a cause for celebration for me!"
The others began to look at Zou Zhengyan with strange expressions.
Lin Yushan thought to himself that Zou Zhengyan always appeared to value loyalty and righteousness, yet at such a moment, he was quick to disassociate himself from Lu Jiuxuan, which was contemptible!
Stepping forward, Lin Yushan gazed at Chen Fan for a couple of seconds, then with a sycophantic smile and a slight bow, he added, "Exactly, exactly. A man like Lu Jiuxuan, who has committed so many evils, deserved to die. We cultivators are ashamed to call ourselves his friends. Young man, please don’t misunderstand us!"
The others also started to state their positions, saying that they, too, had come to the banquet under duress and that in truth, they had long despised Lu Jiuxuan.
There was no helping it, since Chen Fan had just slain Lu Jiuxuan, who was on the verge of the Half-Step Divine Realm. At this time, whoever dared to claim they were a friend of Lu Jiuxuan would be courting death!
Chen Fan was at a loss for words, thinking to himself that so they were all brought here by Lu Jiuxuan to keep him company while drinking.
However, he didn’t make a big deal of it and simply said, "Since you all came here under coercion, I hope you take Lu Jiuxuan as a warning and do not repeat his mistakes in the future."
