The truth of the matter
Today's matter was the focus of everyone's attention.
Every word that Chu Xingyun said outside the Law Enforcement Hall quickly spread. Not long after, the entire 10,000 Swords Pavilion began to shake. Everyone's astonishment reached an extreme point.
The Law Enforcement Hall had existed since the establishment of Wanjian Pavilion.
For the past thousand years, the Law Enforcement Hall had represented the punishment and justice of Wanjian Pavilion. No matter what happened, no matter who it was, it would make the most fair judgment and never show favoritism.
But today, they were completely biased towards Chu Xingyun!
"Although the Enforcement Hall is in charge of law enforcement, it's still under the control of the Pavilion Master. Furthermore, the Pavilion Master has always favored Luo Yun, so this matter must be related to the Pavilion Master."
"The Pavilion Master has always been fond of talents. With Luo Yun's talent and strength, he will naturally protect him. A mere outer sect disciple is nothing in the Pavilion Master's eyes."
"From the looks of it, Luo Yun's position in the Pavilion Master's heart is extremely high. He is no less important than Baili Kuangsheng!"
For a moment, all kinds of discussions resounded in Wanjian Pavilion.
The crowd's attitude towards Chu Xingyun had also changed greatly. They no longer dared to look down on him. Otherwise, they would end up like the 1,500 Outer Sect Elders and Deacons.
At the same time, the crowd noticed something else.
From the moment Chu Xingyun killed the six people until now, not a single Sword Master from the Internal Affairs Division who had a grudge with him had appeared. Furthermore, none of them had said a single word. They had maintained absolute silence.
One had to know that the Internal Affairs Branch was in charge of all matters of Wanjian Pavilion. They had placed many trusted aides in the Outer Sanctum. It could be said that they controlled half of the country.
However, the forces that he had painstakingly built up were uprooted just like that. Even the subsidiary families were mercilessly raided and their foundations were swallowed up.
Such an outcome was no different from a deep-seated hatred. It was enough to drive the Internal Affairs faction completely mad.
However, they did not do anything, and allowed Chu Xingyun to leave unfettered.
Because of this, the crowd began to revere Chu Xingyun. They felt that Chu Xingyun's position had surpassed that of the ordinary Sword Masters. He could even be called the Young Pavilion Master!
Chu Xingyun was at the Sword Master Peak, inside the palace at the peak.
Yun Changqing and the other three were sitting in the main hall.
They seemed to be particularly anxious. Sometimes, they would look out of the hall, and sometimes, they would lower their heads and ponder, as if they were waiting for something.
As a matter of fact, when Chu Xingyun stirred up trouble in the Outer Disciple Hall, the four of them were the first to receive the news. They immediately rushed to the Outer Disciple Hall to protect Chu Xingyun.
But just as they stepped out of Swordmaster Peak, Fan Wujie's personal guards appeared without any warning.
The personal guard ordered the four of them to return to the Sword Master Mountain and not interfere in this matter. They were also not allowed to go to the Law Enforcement Hall and disturb the judgment of the entire matter.
At that time, they sighed in their hearts. They felt that Chu Xingyun would not be able to leave the Law Enforcement Hall alive.
Unexpectedly, the news that came just now made them flabbergasted.
Chu Xingyun was not dead and had safely left the Law Enforcement Hall. As for the 3,000 Elders and Deacons, they were either dead or injured. They were also ordered to search their properties and confiscate all their treasures.
With such a turn of events, even as Yin Yang powerhouses, they felt like they had fallen into a great depression!
"Why are the four of you here?"
Just as they were thinking, Chu Xingyun's voice woke them up.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh! The four of them flew out at almost the same time and landed in front of Chu Xingyun. They were so fast that the surrounding space rippled. It was a terrifying sight.
"I know you have a lot of questions."
Just as the four of them were about to speak, Chu Xingyun immediately stopped them. He said mysteriously, "Let's return to the palace first. I will tell you everything. I will not miss a single detail."
Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other and nodded heavily.
Rumbling sounds could be heard. As soon as the six of them stepped into the palace, Chu Xingyun released a wave of spiritual energy and enveloped the entire palace, completely isolating it from the outside world. Not a single sound could be heard.
After he was done, he turned around and found that other than the four Sword Sovereigns, even Xia Qingcheng was staring at him deeply. Her eyes flickered with a doubtful light.
Chu Xingyun did not know whether to laugh or cry at this scene. He said seriously, "This matter is indeed related to the Pavilion Master. However, he did not act selfishly, nor did he cover up for me. Things ended up like this because of them …"
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun stroked his palm and took out a few blue books.
These blue books fell into the hands of the others. They lowered their heads and immediately frowned. Xia Qingcheng, in particular, showed a look of sudden realization.
"These account books record the private dealings of all the Elders and Deacons of the outer sect. From large matters such as cultivation resources to small matters such as spirit stones and silver, everything is incomparably clear. Even their transactions with the empires and kingdoms are recorded in the books."
Chu Xingyun said leisurely, "That day, when the Pavilion Master summoned me to the Ten Thousand Sword Hall, I took the opportunity to hand over these books. At that time, the Pavilion Master gave me the privilege to kill the elders and deacons of the outer sect at will."
"As for the punishment of the three thousand elders and deacons, it was according to the records in the books. It was strictly given by the Disciplinary Hall. No one was wronged. It is not an exaggeration to say that those people deserved to die."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the doubts in the hearts of the five people completely disappeared without a trace. However, Yun Changqing still frowned and said with some confusion, "These books have a great impact. Where did you get them?"
Everyone knew that the outer sect colluded with each other for benefits.
However, after such a long time, no one had ever found anything that could be used against them. In addition, they were protected by the Internal Affairs Branch. Over time, no one looked into this matter.
Chu Xingyun had just entered the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, yet he was able to find such a secret account book. Yun Changqing could not understand this.
"A few days ago, after you left, I took advantage of the night to sneak into the residences of Yan Qu, Gu Yufeng, and the others. I found these books. The process was a little dangerous, but it was very smooth." Chu Xingyun curled his lips and said.
In fact, the process of finding the books was very smooth. It could even be said that it was easy.
With the Black Hole Heavy Sword, he could use the Black Concealment to hide all his aura. Even Nirvana Realm experts could not find him. It was not difficult to find these books.
Tang Yunhuan frowned and said in a low voice, "Since you have found the books, why didn't you take them out earlier? Now, almost the entire Wanjian Pavilion thinks that the Pavilion Master deliberately connives with you. That's why he made such a judgment."
"This is the result I want."
Chu Xingyun smiled faintly, which stunned the five people again.
He took a sip of tea and said lightly, "The outer sect has never been paid attention to. The interests and relationships inside are very complicated. If I want to completely control it in a short time, I can only rely on the Pavilion Master's banner."
"Right now, in the eyes of others, those one thousand five hundred elders and deacons died because of me, and even more so because of the Pavilion Master's protection. In the future, if I take charge of the outer sect again, who would dare to say anything?"
"As for why I didn't take action earlier, the reason is very simple." Chu Xingyun looked away and said to Xia Qingcheng, "Qingcheng, do you remember that yesterday, you and I went to the outer sect and visited many elders and deacons?"
"Of course!" Xia Qingcheng nodded immediately.
That day, she almost went crazy with anger. If Chu Xingyun did not hold her back, she would have exploded in anger.
"Before that day, I had already gotten the books and predicted their fate. However, I still wanted to give them a chance. Unfortunately, they were still stubborn." Chu Xingyun let out a sigh. He opened his palm slightly and completely destroyed the account books. Not even a trace of powder was left behind.
"You clearly gave them a chance, but in the end, they still walked on a path of no return. They failed to live up to your kindness." Xia Qingcheng also sighed.
She finally understood why Chu Xingyun insisted on visiting the outer sect.
