Under everyone's gaze, Chu Xingyun arrived at High Heaven Pavilion.
There weren't many people in the ancient pavilion. Elder Qing was sitting cross-legged outside the door. When he saw Chu Xingyun walk over, a faint smile bloomed on his face, "You're finally here. Have you recovered from your injuries?"
Regarding the martial competition, everyone knew about it. Although Elder Qing was guarding High Heaven Pavilion, he was still very well-informed.
"It's all thanks to Elder Qing." Chu Xingyun cupped his fists and directly said, "I came to High Heaven Pavilion this time to find Palace Lord Hua. May I ask if he is here?"
"He has been waiting for a long time. You can go in directly." Elder Qing pointed to a corridor and whispered, "If you have any doubts, feel free to ask. Regarding what happened that year, you have the right to know."
Chu Xingyun's expression turned cold. He stared deeply at Elder Qing. Finally, he withdrew his gaze, nodded, and walked towards the long corridor.
Not long after, Chu Xingyun reached the end of the corridor.
This was a courtyard.
Hua Yunhe was sitting cross-legged beside a flowing pond. He seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed.
"You've completely recovered from your injuries in just two days. It looks like I've underestimated you, the master of the Soaring Cloud Merchant Association," Hua Yunhe opened his eyes. When he saw Chu Xingyun, a trace of admiration appeared in his eyes.
Chu Xingyun's injuries that day were not serious, but he had consumed a lot of energy.
According to Hua Yunhe's estimation, it would take at least five to six days of meditation. However, Chu Xingyun only used two days to recover and even stepped into the seventh Sky of Spirit Gathering Realm. This made Hua Yunhe subconsciously think that Chu Xingyun had used medicinal pills to recover so quickly.
If Hua Yunhe knew the inside story, the expression on his face would not be one of admiration, but of shock and astonishment.
"Palace Lord, you know the purpose of my visit today." Chu Xingyun went straight to the point.
Hua Yunhe smiled and said, "I understand how you feel, but this matter is not as simple as you think. Sit down for now and listen to me slowly."
"Alright!" Chu Xingyun sat down cross-legged and listened attentively.
"The area we live in is called the Northern Wilderness Region. There are six sects in the Northern Wilderness Region. They are the Daluo Golden Sect, the Divine Wind Palace, the Ancient Star Sect, the Seven Star Valley, the Jiuhan Temple, and the Wanjian Pavilion."
"These sects have been passed down for thousands of years and have a strong foundation. They are in charge of many dynasties, and our Liuyun Dynasty is located in the territory of Wanjian Pavilion."
Hearing Hua Yunhe's explanation, Chu Xingyun's heart trembled. He wasn't unfamiliar with this information, but Hua Yunhe's sudden mention of this meant that what happened back then might have involved the six great sects.
It seemed that what happened back then was indeed very complicated!
"The relationship between the six major sects is subtle. They all keep each other in check. The sects also maintain a certain distance from each other. However, sixteen years ago, a group of people suddenly arrived at the royal palace. Without any explanation, they started a massacre. They even took over the Drifting Cloud Royal Family and forced all the forces in the royal palace to send people into the palace."
Hua Yunhe's tone changed. He said in a low voice, "And that group of people claimed to be from the Ancient Star Sect."
"People from the Ancient Star Sect? Why did they come to the Liuyun Dynasty?" Chu Xingyun was shocked.
Just as Hua Yunhe said, the six great sects minded their own business.
The Liuyun Dynasty belonged to the Wanjian Pavilion. Logically speaking, the Ancient Star Sect was not allowed to send people into the Liuyun Dynasty, let alone kill. However, the other party ignored this rule and even took over the Liuyun Royal Family.
"Back then, I represented the Lingxiao Martial House to enter the palace. When I entered, the people from the Ancient Star Sect did not attack. Instead, they gave us many benefits in an attempt to bribe us. They wanted us to do our best to find a woman named Liu Mengyan."
Speaking up to here, Hua Yunhe stared at Chu Xingyun and said, "This woman is Chu Xingchen's wife and also your biological mother."
Thump!
Chu Xingyun's heart trembled. So, his mother's name was Liu Mengyan.
Ever since he was born, no one had ever mentioned anything about his mother. Even in his previous life, Chu Xingyun had searched for so long, but he didn't know anything.
"Why are they looking for my mother?" Chu Xingyun asked seriously.
"As far as I know, your mother, Liu Mengyan, is not from the Liuyun Dynasty. Instead, she is from the Ancient Star Sect. That group of people called your mother Miss. It seems like her position in the Ancient Star Sect is not low. As for why they came, I don't know."
Hua Yunhe did not stop and continued, "At that time, the Ancient Star Sect controlled the entire Liuyun Dynasty. They ordered all the forces to madly search for your whereabouts. Even people with the same name were sent to the Imperial City to be personally examined. That period of time lasted for three months. The Liuyun Dynasty was completely plunged into chaos."
"Three months later, the people sent by the Yunmeng Martial House accidentally came to West Wind City and discovered my mother's whereabouts. That's why everything happened after that, right?" Chu Xingyun's expression was unusually calm.
"That's right." Hua Yunhe nodded and continued, "The people who discovered your mother's whereabouts were indeed the Yunmeng Martial House. After they found out, they reported this matter to the Ancient Star Sect. That night, the Ancient Star Sect sent many experts to West Wind City. The massacre they caused was far more shocking than you can imagine. What you know is only the tip of the iceberg."
The existence of the Ancient Star Sect, to the Liuyun Dynasty, was like a ten thousand zhang tall mountain.
Liu Mengyan's position in the Ancient Star Sect was not low. In fact, it was extremely important. Naturally, she possessed absolute strength.
The battle between experts was extremely loud. It was very easy to implicate the innocent. This was why no one in the Chu Clan dared to speak when the incident sixteen years ago was mentioned. That battle was definitely not as simple as it was rumored to be.
"If they wanted to kidnap my mother, then why did they kidnap my father as well?" Chu Xingyun asked again.
"You're wrong. The Ancient Star Sect did not only kidnap your parents, but also you. According to them, they wanted to dishearten your mother and make her leave the Liuyun Dynasty. They wanted to … kill you and your father on the spot."
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun's gaze trembled.
Sixteen years ago, he was only a crying baby waiting to be fed. The people of the Ancient Star Sect were so cruel. Not only did they break up his family, they also wanted to kill him and his father in front of Liu Mengyan.
He could not imagine the scene at that time. Even if it was just for a moment, he could not help but roar a few times. A trace of ice-cold killing intent bloomed from his body, as if the entire courtyard had fallen into an ice cellar.
Hua Yunhe felt the coldness from Chu Xingyun's body. He also let out a long sigh and said, "Fortunately, your mother risked her life to save you. Only then did the people of the Ancient Star Sect stop and save your life. Otherwise, you would not be able to appear in front of me."
"Save my life!"
