The anti-Xu alliance officially formed under the leadership of Yunzhi is now at its peak, with few daring to approach Xu Fan. The one who walked towards Xu Fan with a smile was naturally the black-robed elder, who knew Xu Fan deeply.
Prior to this, Xu Fan couldn't bear the incessant chatter of Jiang Quan and sent him to the black-robed elder, asking Jiang Quan to convey a few messages to the elder for some peace and quiet.
The black-robed elder was uneasy due to Xu Fan's ambiguous attitude towards the trial. Upon seeing Jiang Quan approaching, he certainly wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
After the trial, the various powers returned to report the situation to the previous council, which was taken aback. They ordered to befriend Xu Fan at all costs, using every means possible to probe the depth of the power behind him. Although the black-robed elder had some ties with Xu Fan, both were clear that those ties were entirely based on interests.
