Three days
In the vast space, there were tens of thousands of people, but no one said a word.
Their gazes fell on Chu Xingyun with different expressions as they waited for the final answer.
Chu Xingyun raised his head and met Fan Wujie's eyes. His back was still as straight as a sword. "I've never done any of these things, so how can I plead guilty?"
"How dare you, Luo Yun! There are witnesses and evidence, yet you still refuse to plead guilty!" Qin Qiumo roared angrily and glared, only to see Chu Xingyun's pitch-black eyes coldly staring at him. He said word by word, "Old man, shut up!"
"You …"
Qin Qiumo was so angry that he felt a wave of reverse energy rush into his internal organs, causing him to feel extremely uncomfortable. He angrily pointed his finger at Chu Xingyun as his body trembled uncontrollably.
Chu Xingyun coldly stared at Qin Qiumo and said, "Indeed, I do control the power of darkness and have a grudge with the Qin and Chang Clans. I can even casually kill people at the second layer of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. However, these are only your deductions. There is no conclusive evidence."
"First, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Wanjian Pavilion. We don't know if there is anyone else who can control the power of darkness. Moreover, whether the Shadow Swordsman is a member of the Wanjian Pavilion is another matter."
"Second, the Qin and Chang Clans have a lot of enmity with each other, whether it's internally or externally. It's not persuasive at all to start with grudges."
"As for the third point, no one knows if this person was killed by the Shadow Swordsman or if it was part of a conspiracy. After all, some people already hate me to the bone, so it's not impossible for them to secretly use some tricks."
His words were like pearls, causing the surrounding people to fall into deep thought. Even the many Sword Masters of the Law Enforcement Faction felt that it made sense and began to discuss it in low voices.
"This is simply a bunch of nonsense!"
Chang Chixiao stood up angrily and said to Fan Wujie in a clear voice, "We do have grudges with Luo Yun, but we won't kill our own disciples for grudges. This Luo Yun has a glib tongue and has evil intentions. Pavilion Master, please judge clearly and immediately kill this bastard!"
"If Luo Yun is not eliminated, the Wanjian Pavilion will never be at peace. Pavilion Master, please kill this bastard!" All the Sword Masters of the Law Enforcement Faction agreed. They pointed the Shadow Swordsman, Luo Yun was the Shadow Swordsman.
"Luo Yun, Luo Yun Of course, Luo Yun Yun, Luo Yun of the Law Enforcement Faction of of the Heavens. Luo Yun of the Law, and Luo of of the Law Enforcement Faction of the Law of the Luof the Law Enforcement Faction of of the Wanjian of of the Law. Yun Luo Yun.
Luo Luo Yun of the Luo Law Enforcement Luo
Beside him, Tang Yunhuan, Lei Yuanguang, and Su Lengliu also did the same. They used their actions to express their stance and fully support Chu Xingyun.
"I just said that this matter is very likely a scheme of your Technique Imparting Faction. Now that Luo Yun is in trouble, of course you will lend a helping hand. According to my words, all of you will be investigated by the Law Enforcement Hall!" Qi Yangchen spat out an ear-piercing voice. He wanted to drag the Technique Imparting Faction down with him.
"You want to frame our Technique Imparting Faction with just a few words? Don't you think your actions are very foolish?" Tang Yunhuan didn't fall behind at all and retorted.
"Those who harbor evil intentions will never have a good death. Sword Master Yangchen, please conduct yourself with dignity." Su Lengliu's entire body was cold. He didn't conceal the ridicule in his heart at all.
The two of them spoke one after another. Qi Yangchen was instantly angered to the point that he jumped up in rage. With a single step, he actually closed in on them.
"What? You want to fight? " Lei Yuanguang was already brimming with battle intent. A sword of lightning appeared above his head. The sword moved with lightning, filling the air with thunderous rumbles.
Rumbling sounds echoed out as the eleven Sword Masters of the two branches released their auras at the same time.
In an instant, the entire space began to tremble violently. The power of heaven and earth swept out in all directions, causing the entire mountain to shake. The spectators constantly retreated out of fear of being caught in the shockwaves.
A Yin-Yang Realm expert could move heaven and earth with a single thought.
When the eleven Sword Masters attacked, just the shockwaves from their battle could destroy mountains and rivers. No one dared to take it head-on.
"Silence!"
At this moment, a gloomy voice came from Fan Wujie's mouth.
These two words seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power. When they descended, they immediately annihilated the power of heaven and earth. The eleven Sword Masters' auras were suppressed and they couldn't take another step forward.
"Sword Masters are fighting in the Law Enforcement Hall. What kind of scandal is this?!" Fan Wujie's words caused the hearts of the eleven Sword Masters to beat wildly. They immediately retreated to their positions and didn't dare to continue fighting.
However, although they had stopped fighting, they were still glaring angrily at each other.
These two branches had been at odds with each other for a long time. At this moment, because of Chu Xingyun, those grievances had been reignited. Just a few words from Fan Wujie wouldn't be able to calm them down.
"Luo Yun." Fan Wujie looked at Chu Xingyun and said in a deep voice, "Both of your words are reasonable. However, I can't deny that you are a great suspect."
Chu Xingyun remained silent. He knew that Fan Wujie still had more to say.
As expected, Fan Wujie didn't stop there. He continued, "I'll give you three days. Within three days, either you find evidence to prove your innocence, or you bring the Shadow Swordsman to justice and end this matter."
"Three days is far too short. Pavilion master, can you spare me a few days?" Yun Changqing frowned. These two conditions were extremely difficult. Three days was indeed far too short.
"I don't want Wanjian Pavilion to continue being immersed in fear." Fan Wujie said coldly. Although he didn't reply, his words clearly indicated that he was already somewhat fed up with this matter.
As the pavilion master, the stability of Wanjian Pavilion was what Fan Wujie was most concerned about.
The reason why he established the three branches and allowed the three parties to keep each other in check was also to control the 10,000 Swords Pavilion so that it would remain unperturbed.
However, because of the Shadow Swordsman, Wanjian Pavilion was already in a state of panic. The conflict between the Cultivation Imparting Sect and the Internal Affairs Sect had intensified. There were already signs of war.
Three days was already the limit of his tolerance.
Chu Xingyun naturally understood this. He raised his head and looked at Fan Wujie. He didn't plead or retort. He only nodded calmly and turned to leave.
After returning to the Swordmaster Peak, he declined the help of Yun Changqing and the others and entered the secret cultivation room alone.
In the inner space of the Reincarnation Stone.
Chu Xingyun sat quietly with his legs crossed. In front of him were many files. These files were all top-secret information about the Shadow Swordsman. They were all provided by the Law Enforcement Hall.
Time gradually passed. Night once again covered Wanjian Pavilion in a pitch-black cloak.
Chu Xingyun put these files into his storage ring. With a flash, he instantly left the inner space.
