The Resentment of Ten Thousand Beasts
Chu Xingyun didn't reply. He stood to the side with a faint smile on his face.
Xue Dangkong's words were only partially correct.
Because of Xue Qingwu, Chu Xingyun's presence in the Spiritual Weapon Hall had attracted the attention of many people from the Xue Family. When he left the Spiritual Weapon Hall, any casual words he said would attract the attention of many people.
The reason why Chu Xingyun did this was just as Xue Dangkong had said. When chaos broke out, the Xue Clan would help Chu Xingyun create the conditions to kill Xiao Ting in one fell swoop.
However, this wasn't Chu Xingyun's guess. Everything was under his control.
Chu Xingyun was certain that Xiao Ting was also involved in the assassination attempt in the Misty Forest. Otherwise, when Li Yi attacked, there was no way no Elders would have come to stop him. Xiao Ting must have created the conditions for them.
However, at the end of the day, Xiao Ting didn't directly attack, and no one saw him participate in the assassination attempt.
Under this premise, if Chu Xingyun were to attack Xiao Ting in the martial arts arena, then he would be bitten in the back. At the very least, he would be charged with a crime, and at the very worst, he would be killed on the spot by the Disciplinary Hall.
Therefore, if Chu Xingyun wanted revenge, he couldn't make the first move. He had to let Xiao Ting do it.
In this way, Chu Xingyun could defend himself in the face of danger. Even if he killed Xiao Ting in the end, he wouldn't have to bear any responsibility. After all, the one who attacked was Xiao Ting, not him, Chu Xingyun.
After thinking this through, Chu Xingyun gradually came up with a plan.
After he killed Li Yi, he ridiculed Gu Qingsong and Xiao Ting, deliberately making them lose their minds. Then he would gather the Martial House's disciples to capture them and cause chaos.
With his strength alone, he naturally couldn't contend against the crowd. Chu Xingyun thought of the Xue Clan and deliberately made a bold statement to lure the Xue Clan to the Soaring Heaven Martial House.
Once the battle broke out, Xue Qingwu would definitely not allow Chu Xingyun to be in danger.
Once she made a move, the rest of the Xue Clan would make a move as well. The chaotic situation would be brought under control, and Chu Xingyun would only have to face Xiao Ting.
As for Xue Qingwu and the people of the Xue Family, Chu Xingyun had also thought about it carefully.
Chu Xingyun had indeed taken advantage of the Xue Family, but he had carefully observed the Xue Family members who had come to the Soaring Heaven Martial Palace. All of them were either elites of the Xue Family or famous blacksmiths.
Once these people took action, not to mention whether or not they could resist the chaos, just their status alone was enough to intimidate the Martial House disciples.
Therefore, when the chaos ended, not a single member of the Xue Clan was injured, and there were no casualties. Otherwise, how could Xue Zang Kong talk to Chu Xingyun so calmly? He would have flown into a rage long ago.
Today's events, at a glance, seemed like countless coincidences, but in reality, they were all part of Chu Xingyun's plan. There were no guesses, no coincidences, and no suspicions.
Even a veteran like Xue Zang Kong had only guessed a very small part of the truth, so small that it was almost negligible.
Seeing that Xue Zang was no longer speaking, Chu Xingyun simply sat down and casually asked, "Elder Xue, did you come here specifically to talk about this matter?"
"You brat, you're playing dumb again!" The more Xue Zang Kong looked at Chu Xingyun's appearance, the more he liked him. He no longer cared about the previous matter and changed the topic, "The silver needles you pierced into your body, were they forged from Heavenly Sun Stone and Green Moon Jade?"
"That's right." Chu Xingyun nodded.
Xue Zang Kong was the number one blacksmith in the Liuyun Dynasty. His skills were superb, and he had even forged many magic tools. Chu Xingyun did not think that his Yin Yang Fire Needles could escape his eyes, so he directly confessed.
"Heavenly Sun Stone and Green Moon Jade are Yin and Yang conflicting, so they can't be merged. How did you do it?" Xue Zang Kong directly asked. This question had been bothering him for several days and nights, and he could not hold it in any longer.
"Yin and Yang Qi are mutually reinforcing and conflicting. Even Martial Emperor level experts are unable to perfectly merge them. What I did was to create a buffer zone between the two to balance the power of the Yin and Yang Qi. This way, the two can coexist and form a cycle of Yin and Yang."
After Chu Xingyun finished speaking, Xue Zang Kong suddenly slapped his head as if he had suddenly realized something. He exclaimed, "Why didn't I think of this? Since they can't merge, then they can coexist in balance!"
"However, the list only mentioned the Heavenly Sun Stone and Green Moon Jade. How did you create a buffer zone? Also, what is the use of these silver needles? You were able to kill Xiao Ting, but it doesn't seem like you borrowed the power of the silver needles." Xue Zang Kong asked again, his face full of curiosity.
Seeing this scene, Xue Qingwu helplessly smiled at Chu Xingyun. This was her grandfather's temperament. He was obsessed with blacksmithing, and he would only give up after he understood everything.
Chu Xing Yun smiled faintly. In his last life, wasn't he the same? He was completely obsessed with alchemy, so he understood Xue Zang Kong's current state very well. He wasn't displeased, but rather admired him.
"The reason I can maintain the balance between Yin and Yang is all because of this." Chu Xingyun stretched out his hand, and a purple-red flame suddenly appeared in the center of his palm. It was the Ten Thousand Beast Fire.
"As for the Ten Thousand Beast Fire, Elder Xue should also know about it, right?" Chu Xingyun looked at Xue Zang Kong. Xue Zang Kong nodded. He already knew everything from Xue Qingwu, so when he saw the Ten Thousand Beast Fire, he was not too shocked.
Chu Xingyun nodded and continued, "Although the Ten Thousand Beast Fire is a man-made flame, it is incomparably hot and powerful. It can easily suppress the Yin and Yang Qi. More importantly, I have already absorbed the Ten Thousand Beast Fire into my body. It can be said that there is an endless supply of it. It is the best choice to use it as a buffer zone."
"The Ten Thousand Beast Fire can indeed be used as a buffer zone, but aren't you afraid of setting yourself on fire?" Xue Zang Kong continued to ask. When the Yin and Yang Fire Needles were pierced into the body, the Yin and Yang Qi would seep in at the same time. The slightest bit of carelessness could cause the entire Ten Thousand Beast Fire to explode.
Once such a terrifying flame exploded, even Xue Zang Kong would not dare to say that he could escape unscathed, let alone Chu Xingyun.
"You are right. When the Yin and Yang Fire Needles are pierced into the body, the Yin and Yang Qi will seep in at the same time. However, this is exactly what I need, because I want to use the Yin and Yang Qi to completely release the resentment of the Ten Thousand Beast Fire."
Chu Xingyun's voice sank, causing Xue Zang Kong and Xue Qingwu to be stunned. What was the resentment of the Spirit Beasts? They had never heard of it before.
"To condense the Ten Thousand Beast Fire, one must burn countless Spirit Beasts, absorb their Spirit Cores, and devour their Blood Qi. This process is incomparably cruel. It will continuously gather the resentment of the Spirit Beasts. When the Ten Thousand Beast Fire is successfully condensed, this resentment will be completely released. Once the possessor is unable to withstand this resentment, they will fall into endless slaughter and become a walking corpse."
