The Thoughts of Both Sides
Pa!
A precious blue and white porcelain vase was smashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.
"He's obviously trash, but he dares to mock us again and again. How infuriating!" Chang Mingyang's angry roar resounded in the hall.
He picked up the porcelain vases on the table and threw them out one by one to vent his anger.
"You've vented enough. It's time to stop." Chang Chixiao walked into the palace. Although his face was cold, there was a faint smile on his face. He said, "The current situation is not as bad as we imagined. In fact, from a certain perspective, it is extremely beneficial to us."
"Advantageous?"
Chang Mingyang's face was still angry. "Just now, in the Wanjian Hall, the Pavilion Master not only agreed to Luo Yun's request, but also handed over all matters of the outer sect to Luo Yun. How can this be advantageous?"
"The reason why we let Luo Yun join the Internal Affairs Division was to take away his power. The Pavilion Master saw this and praised us many times. But in the end, he let Luo Yun go!"
Thinking of the scene in the Wanjian Hall, Chang Mingyang was even more furious. His face was ferocious, and his chest heaved up and down as he panted heavily.
"The Technique Imparting Division is the weakest among the three branches. The existence of those four guys is dispensable. The Pavilion Master never cared about them. Luo Yun joining the Technique Imparting Division is equivalent to destroying his own future."
Chang Chixiao sat down casually and took a sip of tea. His voice was gentle. "Moreover, everyone knows that the situation in the outer sect is complicated. Even those four guys can't manage it. What can a seventeen-year-old youth do?"
Chang Mingyang's expression froze. He felt that it made sense.
Chang Chixiao continued, "The outer sect is called the outer sect because the sword intent of those seventy thousand disciples is of an extremely low grade. Their future achievements are limited. Therefore, they gathered together to form the outer sect."
"Although Luo Yun is the Honorary Swordmaster, he has just entered the Wanjian Pavilion. He doesn't have anyone he can use. Moreover, he's very young. It's impossible for him to know how to manage people. Managing the outer sect is just asking for a joke!"
Hearing this, Chang Mingyang's eyes flashed and he said resentfully, "Then Father means that the Pavilion Master let Luo Yun manage the entire Outer Sect to make him a laughingstock and ruthlessly crush his spirit?"
"Of course!"
Chang Chixiao was very confident, "Even if we take ten thousand steps back and assume that Luo Yun can manage the outer sect well, so what? The outer sect is just a bunch of trash. Even if they gather together, they won't be able to withstand a single blow."
"Furthermore, with us around, even if Luo Yun has three heads and six arms, he won't be able to manage the outer sect well!"
Chang Chixiao raised his head and glanced at Qi Yangchen beside him. Qi Yangchen immediately bowed and said respectfully, "I have already made arrangements for the outer sect. Everything is under our control."
Although the outer sect was chaotic, it contained seventy thousand disciples. The affairs inside weren't simple.
Chang Chixiao had been in the Wanjian Pavilion for decades. His network was well-established. Even in the outer sect, he had many informants who secretly controlled the operations of the outer sect.
This was why Chang Chixiao didn't oppose Chu Xingyun's proposal to take up a post in the outer sect. On the contrary, he was secretly delighted. He could use others to ruthlessly suppress Chu Xingyun.
"Luo Yun, Luo Yun. I originally wanted to take away all your power. However, I didn't expect you to be so stupid. You actually chose a path of no return!"
"Now, I've changed my mind. I want to humiliate you and make you a laughingstock. After that, I'll take away your power and even send you to the afterlife!"
"All of this isn't because I'm cruel. It's because you've gone too far!"
Cold words came out of Chang Chixiao's mouth. He lifted his head and gazed into the distance with a smile on his face. It was as if he couldn't wait to celebrate.
On the other side, Yun Changqing and the other three had once again arrived at Chu Xingyun's residence.
"Luo Yun, your decision was too hasty. You should've discussed it with us. The chaos in the outer sect is far beyond your imagination. It's impossible for you to manage it all by yourself." This was Lei Yuanguang's voice. His words were straightforward without the slightest bit of concealment.
"The Elders and Deacons of the Outer Sect are not easy to deal with. If you suddenly appear, they will definitely agree on the surface but oppose on the surface. This action will do you no good." This was Tang Yunhuan's voice, which also carried a trace of sigh.
"The best way is to give up." This was Su Lengliu's voice. It was cold, but it was also filled with concern for Chu Xingyun.
Yun Changqing stared at Chu Xingyun and pondered for a moment. In the end, he said, "I can talk to the Pavilion Master and ask him to take back what he said today. Although my face is old, it still has some use."
As he spoke, he slowly stood up. Chu Xingyun immediately stepped forward to stop him. He said gratefully, "I can understand your concern. However, this decision was made after careful consideration. At the very least, among the seventy thousand outer sect disciples, there aren't many of Chang Chixiao's spies. It will be easier for me to deal with them."
"That's true, but …" Before Yun Changqing could finish, Chu Xingyun interrupted, "I've already made up my mind on this matter. I won't change it. Please don't say anything else."
Feeling Chu Xingyun's determination, the four didn't say anything else. After a few words, they stood up and left.
After the four left, Chu Xingyun entered the inner space. He calmed his mind and began to plan carefully.
He had just said that there weren't many of Chang Chixiao's spies among the outer sect disciples. He could get rid of the surveillance and concentrate on his own matters. This was only one of the reasons why Chu Xingyun made this decision.
Secondly, the seventy thousand outer sect disciples had extremely low sword essences. However, this didn't mean that they were useless.
Chu Xingyun had lived in the mortal world for thousands of years. He had seen many people with mediocre talent, but they relied on their own efforts and perseverance to eventually become powerful experts of their generation.
He, was a living example.
Thirdly, and the most important, it was also something that no one knew except for him.
The existence of the Wanjian Pavilion, in essence, was a huge training ground. It allowed the Sword Spirit of the legendary ancient sword to choose the sword holder it liked in the shortest time.
Therefore, the Light Sword Essence of the Light Sword of the legendary ancient sword was the most complete sect orthodoxy that had been passed down for thousands of years in the Wanjian Pavilion.
Although the other sword essences coexisted, they were extremely mediocre and didn't amaze people.
There were 3,000 sword essences in the world, which were divided into seven major categories — gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, and darkness.
The Light Sword Essence was only one of them.
Although the Wanjian Pavilion had discovered the genius of the Light Sword Essence, the geniuses of the other six categories were buried.
In the eyes of others, the outer sect disciples were just stupid people. No matter how hard they practiced, it would be difficult for them to achieve anything. However, in fact, there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the seventy thousand outer sect disciples!
The outer sect disciples were definitely not good-for-nothings. They were just not suitable for the Light Sword Essence. In terms of other sword essences, they could be geniuses and evildoers.
As long as Chu Xingyun could control the entire outer sect and select all the hidden elites among the seventy thousand outer sect disciples, it would be equivalent to capturing all the geniuses of Sword Principle in the 18 dynasties!
With such a foundation and heritage, Chu Xingyun could become a real Sword Master!
The more he came into contact with the Wanjian Pavilion, the more he could feel the complexity and chaos in it.
Therefore, if Chu Xingyun wanted to investigate what happened back then and take revenge on Chang Chixiao and the others, he had to stand firm.
