I thought that once Xu Yi saw Xuan Ye Wang, he wouldn't dare cling to any wishful thinking and would simply admit it. Who knew this dead duck would be so stubborn, arguing his case with such conviction, as if every word were true?
Xuan Ye Wang said coldly, "You say I ordered you to capture Black Wind Venerable. Why would I do that? I hate you to the bone. Why would I hand you the credit for nothing?"
Xu Yi's expression turned cold. "Since we've come this far, Brother Wild King, if you're going to shamelessly deny it, I won't spare you any face either. Your plan was perfect. I'd guess it went like this: You tricked Black Wind Venerable with a scheme. After all, I wanted to capture him, and you hated me. With me as your common enemy, you naturally joined forces. Originally, you planned to work with Black Wind Venerable to set me up. But then you had a change of heart. You figured using that idiot Black Wind Venerable to earn a huge merit and climb even higher might not be a bad deal. I was your subordinate, after all. You'd have plenty of chances to squeeze the life out of me. There was no need to rush."
"You thought it all through. With you luring him in, Black Wind Venerable was as good as dead, and if I made the capture, you'd get the credit. Then the people behind Black Wind Venerable came looking for trouble. That's right—when Brother Xiang came to find you, it became clear who was behind Black Wind Venerable. At the time, you, Brother Wild King, thought that if anything went wrong, you could pin the blame on me. But you calculated everything and still didn't expect this to leak.
