Another Disturbance
The sun set in the west, and the curtain of night enveloped the entire Imperial City.
In a courtyard on the Qitian Peak, there was a wide open space in the courtyard.
At this moment, Lin Tianchong was sitting cross-legged there. His eyes were closed and his breathing was a bit disordered. Faint arcs of lightning leaped around his body, bringing with them astral winds that emitted muffled sounds.
Chu Xingyun stood behind Lin Tianchong. He opened his hands, and a weak power of heaven and earth spread out. After circulating a great cycle around Lin Tianchong's body, it completely dissipated into nothingness.
Weng!
At this moment, Lin Tianchong opened his eyes. The lightning arcs disappeared, and his aura dissipated like flowing water. In the end, his entire demeanor became very weak, and there was no light in his eyes.
"After consuming two Yin Yang Wu Ling Pills, I've finally managed to suppress my internal injuries. However, Senior Lin will not be able to do anything for a long period of time. Otherwise, my Spiritual Sea will be in danger of collapsing." Chu Xingyun also opened his eyes, his expression somewhat grave.
That day, in order to stall for time, Lin Tianchong ignored the hidden injuries in his body and forcefully activated the Apocalyptic Divine Thunder.
Although Lin Tianchong's spiritual sea hadn't collapsed after the bloody battle, the internal injuries on his body had worsened. They were much more serious than they had been half a year ago.
At this moment, not to mention activating the Divine Thunder of Annihilation, the moment he made a move, his Spiritual Sea would collapse. His injuries were serious.
"After what happened last time, the entire Liuyun Dynasty has returned to peace. Wu Jing Xue is also willing to follow you. Even if I wanted to make a move, I'm afraid there's no place for me to do so." Lin Tianchong laughed, as if he didn't care about his injuries.
Chu Xingyun rolled his eyes, but he still agreed with Lin Tianchong's words.
Now, the Liuyun Dynasty had returned to its peaceful days. The imperial power ruled the country, and the prosperity of the country made people feel peaceful and comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
Patter!
At this time, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded, interrupting their conversation.
Under the gentle moonlight, Chu Xing Chen slowly walked out. He first gave Lin Tianchong a faint smile, then his gaze shifted to Chu Xingyun. He looked as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated.
"I'll go back and recuperate first," Lin Tianchong said casually. His figure flickered as he left the courtyard.
Suddenly, only Chu Xingyun and Chu Xing Chen were left in the large open space. The night was like water, mixed with the gentle night breeze, blowing on the two of them, making the atmosphere quiet.
Chu Xingchen sat down beside Chu Xingyun. After a long silence, he opened his mouth and said, "I heard from Senior Mo that you're preparing to head to the Wanjian Pavilion?"
"That's right." Chu Xingyun nodded and replied, "What happened back then is not as simple as you think. If you want to find my mother's whereabouts, it's best to start with the Wanjian Pavilion."
"I see." Chu Xingchen smiled. His smile froze on his face, then he did not speak.
In an instant, the entire open space became quiet again. There was a trace of awkwardness that lingered in the hearts of the two of them.
"Father, do you blame me?"
Chu Xingyun raised his head and looked at the bright moonlight. He said somewhat nervously, "Back then, Wu Jing Xue relied on the Ancient Star Sect, separated you and my mother, and even killed many people. But now, I've brought him back to life and let him follow me. Do you think I've done wrong?"
After he finished speaking, Chu Xingyun let out a heavy breath. His eyes focused as he stared at Chu Xingchen.
The main culprit back then was the Ancient Star Sect, but Wu Jing Xue was also one of the accomplices.
If it were anyone else, they would have mercilessly killed Wu Jing Xue to avenge the past. Therefore, Chu Xingyun felt that Chu Xingchen might blame him and silently complained in his heart.
However, Chu Xingchen shook his head and smiled, "Wu Jing Xue and our Chu Clan do have a deep grudge, but he has already paid a heavy price. If we continue to pursue this matter, it will only add to our sorrow. Moreover, you're doing this to reunite our family. I'm more than happy, so why would I blame you?"
"Right now, I just feel that you're shouldering too much of a burden. It's too heavy."
Chu Xingchen also stared at Chu Xingyun and said with heartache, "On this trip to the Wanjian Pavilion, you will face even more experts and dangers. I really can't bear to see you take such risks."
"Father, you don't have to worry about this." A smile appeared on Chu Xingyun's face. He smiled faintly and said, "Although going to the Wanjian Pavilion is dangerous, it won't endanger my life. Who knows, I might even be able to turn misfortune into blessing and gain many fortuitous encounters."
Feeling Chu Xingyun's strong confidence, the worry on Chu Xingchen's face gradually disappeared.
He stretched out his hands and placed them heavily on Chu Xingyun's shoulders. He said loudly, "With your words, I'm relieved. If your mother was here, she would definitely be proud of you!"
Hearing this, the smile on Chu Xingyun's face became even brighter. A resolute light flashed in his pitch-black eyes, causing his entire aura to become much more resolute, as if it could pierce through the resplendent starry sky in front of him.
While Chu Xingyun was gazing at the starry sky, on a high slope at the border of the Liuyun Dynasty, a red-clothed middle-aged man calmly looked up into the distance and coldly stared at the tall city gate in front of him.
He stretched out his hand and in an instant, a map appeared in front of the red-clothed middle-aged man.
This incomparably huge map was spread out in the void, covering an endless territory. His gaze was fixed on the extreme north of the map, and a cold aura bloomed from his body.
"With the Iron Peak Country as the center, we have searched the land within a radius of a few thousand miles. Now, only the Liuyun Dynasty and the Qian Martial Emperor Dynasty have not been searched."
A gloomy voice sounded out. The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in grey clothes. His face was pale, and his features were thin and weak. There was a long sword scar on his left eye, giving others a gloomy feeling.
"Since that incident, the Liuyun Dynasty has been on the decline, and there have been no more geniuses. In my opinion, that thief most likely came from the Qian Martial Emperor Dynasty." The grey-clothed man spoke again. As he spoke, he glanced behind him and sighed slightly.
At the place where his gaze landed, there were three youths standing.
Two of them were around twenty years old, and their facial features were extremely similar. They carried long swords on their backs, and their bodies faintly emitted a tyrannical evil aura. Their strength had reached the 9th Sky of the Earth Spirit Realm.
As for the third person, his face was especially handsome, but there was not a trace of emotion in his eyes. It seemed very empty, and his right sleeve was empty. It was obvious that he was a person with a broken arm.
"If it was normal, there would indeed be no need to search the Liuyun Dynasty."
The broken arm youth spoke. His voice was filled with cold hatred as he shouted, "But a few days ago, I heard that there was a shocking change in the Liuyun Dynasty. A sword shadow appeared, and the sword formation caused a terrifying change in the heavens and earth. The thief that cut off my right arm is also a sword cultivator, so we need to search the Liuyun Dynasty with all our strength."
"Ming Yang is right!"
The red-clothed middle-aged man also opened his mouth and said, "We have searched for so long, how can we relax just like that? That thief not only stole the treasures of the Secret Territory, but also cut off Ming Yang's right arm. If I don't take revenge for this, where will I put my face?"
"But I also didn't expect that after seventeen years, you and I would actually come here again." The red-clothed middle-aged man murmured, but very quickly, the reminiscence in his eyes disappeared. His figure leaped, turning into a crimson ray of light, and sprinted towards the direction of the Imperial City.
Seeing this, the grey-clothed middle-aged man did not stay for long.
