C794 Assessment
Whether it was Gongyang Chi or Dīpankara Buddha who stood behind Lin Xiao, they were all Peak of Semi-Sage warriors. Their strength wasn't any weaker than the eight Asura Kings and the twelve zodiacs of the Murong family. If Zhou Yuan could win over such an expert, he certainly wouldn't refuse.
Furthermore, they all had a grudge against the Asura Cult and Murong family. As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy was a friend. Under such circumstances, Zhou Yuan didn't doubt the intentions of Lin Xiao and Gongyang Chi.
"You can rest assured. Although you have joined the Artifacts Sect, your strength is still there. I won't make things difficult for you. " You don't need to worry about your daily matters. All you need to do is to attack when you are dealing with the Asura Cult and Murong family. "
Zhou Yuan glanced at Lin Xiao and Gongyang Chi and said slowly, "But there is one thing that I need to make clear. When you act, you must listen to my orders."
"No problem."
Lin Xiao responded softly. Gongyang Chi also nodded.
"That's good," Lin Xiao said. "I'll let you know when we need to fight."
Zhou Yuan nodded and looked at Lin Xiao and Gongyang Chi. He continued, "Although you have joined the Artifacts Sect, you have yet to establish your own merit points. In other words, the benefits of the Artifacts Sect will not be given to you. Joining the Artifacts Sect won't bring you any benefits for the time being. If you have to say it, it means that the Artifacts Sect will provide you with protection. If you are in danger, we won't stand idly by! "
It had to be said that Zhou Yuan had made the cooperation between the two parties very straightforward.
Lin Xiao and Gongyang Chi had no objections to this. They did not care about the benefits. After all, they had joined the Artifacts Sect. To put it bluntly, it was a mutually beneficial cooperation. It was normal that the Artifacts Sect would not give them any benefits.
Furthermore, their true goal wasn't to obtain some Artifacts Sects and weapons rewards from the Artifacts Sect. Instead, they wanted to go deep into the Artifacts Sect and scout for information.
"Alright!"
Lin Xiao and Gongyang Chi nodded without hesitation.
Zhou Yuan was satisfied with Lin Xiao and Gongyang Chi's straightforward attitude. They talked about some details of their cooperation. Finally, he looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Lin Xiao, I have something to ask you. Come with me."
"Yes."
Lin Xiao nodded. He suppressed the waves in his heart and said respectfully, "Sect Master, if you have anything you want to ask, you can ask at any time. I will definitely tell you everything I know. I will tell you everything I know!"
"Yes, but this matter, it is better for the two of us to discuss it alone!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan chuckled. He looked at Lin Xiao and said with a smile, "This matter involves some privacy. It's not convenient to discuss it openly. As for the safety issue... You can rest assured. Since I've agreed to cooperate with you, It won't be detrimental to you, not to mention... If I really want to harm you, with just the two of them... You can't stop me!"
Although Zhou Yuan's words were arrogant, it was the truth.
Lin Xiao felt less nervous. Although he didn't know what Zhou Yuan wanted to talk to him about, just like what Zhou Yuan said, if he really wanted to attack him, he didn't need to do it alone.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao showed a very calm expression and said with a smile, "Sect Chief is being too serious. Why would I doubt Sect Chief? Sect Master will lead the way. I will follow you!"
"Alright."
Zhou Yuan nodded. He looked at Gongyang Chi and said with a smile, "Then we will take our leave first!"
"Yes."
Gongyang Chi nodded when he heard that.
Gongyang Chi wasn't stupid. He knew that Zhou Yuan wouldn't do anything to Lin Xiao in this situation, so there was no need for him to follow him.
Zhou Yuan didn't look at Gongyang Chi anymore. He led Lin Xiao all the way to a quiet room not far away.
There was no one in the quiet room. Lin Xiao was still somewhat perturbed. After all, Gongyang Chi and Dīpankara Buddha weren't by his side. If he and Zhou Yuan didn't get along, there wouldn't be anyone protecting him. However, Lin Xiao knew that it was necessary to gain the trust of the other party.
Seeing Lin Xiao's nervous expression, Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to be too nervous. I asked you to come here because I want to know about a person's situation."
"Who?"
Hearing this, a name appeared in Lin Xiao's mind, but he still pretended to be confused and asked.0
After all, the grudge between Array King and the Asura Cult... If Poison Lord hadn't told him about it, he wouldn't have known about it. If he gave himself away at this time, he was afraid that it would arouse Zhou Yuan's suspicion.
Zhou Yuan didn't doubt him and said slowly: "You just said that you have a grudge with Array King. I think you should know something about him. I want to know something related to him!"
As expected!
A while ago, Yu Pingchang had died under the Yin Yang Blade of the Formation Sect. Given the grudge between Array King and the Artifacts Sect, Zhou Yuan would certainly suspect Array King. It was reasonable for Zhou Yuan to ask him about Array King at this time.
However, there was something that Lin Xiao was curious about.
Everyone said that Yu Pingchang was Master Of The Weapon Sect's only son, but Master Of The Weapon Sect's name was Zhou Yuan, and Yu Pingchang's surname was Yu. Both of their surnames were different, so how could they be father and son?
Lin Xiao was a little curious about this, but he knew that now was not the time to think about this. What he needed to do now was to answer Zhou Yuan's question flawlessly.
"Actually, I don't really know much about Array King. During the incident in Asura Cult against our sect, I killed the descendant of the Formation Sect, so I had a grudge with Array King. He brought the two great formation maps to the Qingzhou City where we are, and killed more than half of the people in the Qingzhou City!"
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, and put on an angry look. He continued, "He didn't want to give up after destroying the Qingzhou City. A while ago, he let the surviving members of the Formation Sect surround and annihilate Divine State City. He was completely wiped out by my men! Therefore, the grudge between me and Array King can be said to be irreconcilable. Either he dies or I die! "
"Oh?"
When Zhou Yuan heard this, he glanced at Lin Xiao, as if he was considering whether Lin Xiao's words were true or not. After pondering for a moment, he continued to ask, "I also know about the matter of the Formation Sect's survivors dealing with Divine Prefecture City. Array King should not be present in that battle, right?"
"He is indeed not here."
Lin Xiao nodded and put on a puzzled look. He gritted his teeth and said, "I also don't know why Array King didn't come. Instead, he sent some survivors of Formation Sect to test him. Could it be that the last time I asked Dīpankara Buddha to deal with him, he was afraid of me? He didn't dare to come here personally? Sect Master, no matter what, "Please help me kill Array King and avenge me!"
Don't worry, I will definitely kill Array King! "
A trace of gloominess flashed across Zhou Yuan's eyes. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Xiao again. His tone was somewhat probing. "I have another question. More than ten days ago, Array King appeared in Azure Dragon City. Don't you know about this?"
