Lin Heng glanced at his own Evil Avatar, then at the Fire Clan Heavenly Venerable's concubine.
This put him in a difficult position.
Leaving aside what the Evil Avatar did before, at least this time the Evil Avatar did nothing wrong.
Even if it's true, you can't actually bring back the Fire Clan Heavenly Venerable's concubine.
Lin Heng was worried about what to do.
Just then, a disciple came to report that the Fire Clan had arrived, and they were coming in a menacing manner; it was clear that nothing good was coming of it.
They had been considering whether to send the concubine back.
Lin Heng was enraged by the Fire Clan's blaming and demanding explanation.
If our clone made a mistake, then we'll admit it.
Your Fire Clan is in the wrong, yet you dare to come here and cause trouble? Do you really think that just because I've been away in the dimensional portal for a few years, the Battle Heaven Pavilion has no one left?
An enraged Lin Heng gave Evil Avatar a knowing look, then turned and walked out of the main hall.
Evil Avatar stepped forward, grabbed the concubine, and then caught up with Lin Heng.
The three of them had just stepped out of the main hall when they instantly appeared in front of the Battle Heaven Pavilion's sect gate.
When Lin Heng appeared, the Fire Clan arrived in a large and imposing manner.
The leader was a Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable, and behind him followed dozens of powerful members of the Fire Clan.
Lin Heng sneered upon seeing this, " The Fire Clan certainly has plenty of Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable. One batch is killed, and another is immediately put in their place."
These sarcastic remarks Yan Lan ignited the anger of Yan Lan, the Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable of the Fire Clan.
However, given Lin Heng's current strength, he dared not confront him directly, and could only say sarcastically, "Sect Leader Lin Heng, I hope you will respect your status."
Lin Heng chuckled lightly. He had little patience for the Fire Clan and asked directly, "Speak, what brings you so many people to my Battle Heaven Pavilion today?"
Lin Heng naturally knew the other party's purpose for coming, but some things still needed to be said by the other party in order to better refute them.
"Pavilion Master Lin Heng, someone from your Battle Heaven Pavilion injured one of my Fire Clan's Heavenly Venerable today and even stole his concubine. Such despicable behavior, does Pavilion Master Lin Heng not intend to discipline him?"
Yan Lan deliberately raised her voice slightly when she said this.
Around the Battle Heaven Pavilion, many people were secretly watching as the Fire Clan swaggered in to demand an explanation. Yan Lan's words were naturally directed at those people.
After Yan Lan finished speaking, a burly man with a thick beard stepped forward and pointed at Lin Heng's Evil Avatar: "It's him."
With this gesture, everyone in the Fire Clan immediately focused their attention on the Evil Avatar.
Yan Lan spoke up again, her voice filled with anger. "Sect Leader Lin Heng Lin Heng, now that we have found the culprit, what are your plans to do?"
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Lin Heng raised his hand to stop Yan Lan from continuing, "You call me a sinner? Then I'd like to ask your Fire Clan, what crime has my clone committed?"
"A clone?"
The Fire Clan members were taken aback, then looked at the Evil Avatar again, and then at Lin Heng.
The original and the clone naturally look exactly alike.
However, Lin Heng's Evil Avatar made his appearance somewhat unconventional, making him difficult to recognize.
Lin Heng had a neat buzz cut, Evil Avatar flowed freely, and the white hair at his temples added a touch of vicissitude.
Lin Heng almost always wore a black robe, but Evil Avatar was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, exuding a sense of power.
Furthermore, the Evil Avatar deliberately grew a beard, making it difficult to distinguish from Lin Heng's true form without careful comparison.
Yan Lan compared Lin Heng's face with the Evil Avatar several times before confirming that they were indeed the same person.
If Yan Lan had known earlier that it was Lin Heng's clone, she would never have dared to swagger over and confront him so brazenly.
But now that the words have been spoken, and with many sects watching in the shadows, if he were to turn around and leave, how could Yan Lan possibly survive in the Eighth Heaven?
Having lost face like this, especially at the Battle Heaven Pavilion, Yan Lan could easily imagine the punishment he would face from his clan upon returning home.
Left with no other option, Yan Lan had to bite the bullet and ask again, "Sect Master Lin Heng, even if it's your clone, you still owe our Fire Clan an explanation for doing such a thing, don't you?"
It was still a question, but this time, Yan Lan's confidence was clearly lacking.
Before Lin Heng could speak, Evil Avatar raised an eyebrow and looked at the Sixth-Grade Heavenly Venerable of the Fire Clan: "You brat, your name is Yan Xiang, right?"
"So what if it's me?"
Yan Xiang boldly stepped forward, seemingly emboldened by the presence of dozens of his clansmen.
"Let me ask you this: you clearly lost this concubine to me in a bet, so how come it's like I forcibly took her from you now?"
Upon Evil Avatar this, Yan Xiang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yan Lan vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Yan Xiang returned to his clan, but he told himself with great conviction that he had been bullied by the people of the Battle Heaven Pavilion, and that even his concubine had been taken away.
Upon hearing this, Yan Lan was furious. She didn't inquire about the details at the time, thinking that Lin Heng wasn't at the Battle Heaven Pavilion, so she gathered her men and rushed over.
But now it's all good!
Not only did Lin Heng return, but this time the person he came to question was his clone.
What's most infuriating is that when the other person's clone asks a question, you're completely dumbfounded.
"What exactly happened to Yan Xiang?"
Yan Lan shouted sharply, her eyes flashing with a cold light.
"This... this... is..."
Yan Xiang stammered for a long time, but couldn't get to the bottom of it.
He was also thinking that Lin Heng was still stationed at the dimensional portal, and that the Battle Heaven Pavilion didn't have many strong individuals at the moment.
Having suffered such injustice, and even had his concubine snatched away, wouldn't he need the clan's help to get her back?
Unfortunately, it just so happened that Lin Heng returned, and the one who stole his concubine was Lin Heng's clone.
Now, how could he dare to tell the truth?
Even though he didn't say it, Yan Lan already understood.
"Something that's more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything."
Yan Lan gave a reprimand, then looked at Lin Heng.
Seeing the other party's cold expression, Yan Lan felt a chill run down her spine.
If this matter isn't handled properly, Yan Lan knows very well what will happen to her.
Thinking back to the first thing Lin Heng said when he first appeared.
' The Fire Clan has plenty of Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable; every time one is killed, another can immediately take its place.'
Could it be that he had already decided to kill Lin Heng before Lin Heng even appeared?
Thinking of this, Yan Lan's throat twitched, and she swallowed large mouthfuls of saliva repeatedly.
Seeing that he hadn't reacted for a long time, Lin Heng became impatient. "Your Fire Clan lost a bet and voluntarily gave your concubine to my Battle Heaven Pavilion. What? Now you want to go back on your word?"
Lin Heng took the initiative to tell the truth, which left Yan Lan and the other Fire Clan experts dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, the crowd watching secretly outside erupted in a cacophony of excited chatter.
"What the hell! The Fire Clan actually lost their concubine in a bet!"
" The Fire Clan is really ruthless; they even gamble away their concubines."
"Who knows if it's a concubine or a wife? What if the wife is too embarrassed to say it and deliberately claims it's a concubine?"
"You know, that makes a lot of sense. If they hadn't lost their wives, the Fire Clan wouldn't have gone to such lengths to come and demand them back."
