There's Animosity
Over the past three days, Chu Xingyun's Swordmaster Peak was the center of attention.
Everyone wanted to know how Chu Xingyun would deal with the three-day agreement. Would he try his best to prove his innocence, or would he capture the Shadow Sword Artist and bring him to justice? Or would he be the Shadow Sword Artist himself?
These were all mysteries that were buried deep in everyone's hearts.
However, what puzzled the crowd was that Chu Xingyun hadn't left the Swordmaster Peak even though it had been three days since he had returned from the Law Enforcement Hall.
No one knew what he was thinking. Even Xia Qingcheng, Lu Ling, and the other two were the same. They were filled with doubt and worry for Chu Xingyun.
Night finally fell.
The crowd's attention didn't shift away because of the night. Instead, they paid more attention to the Swordmaster Peak.
Tomorrow, Chu Xingyun would enter the Law Enforcement Hall again. Everything would come to an end tomorrow. No one would miss this night. Everyone wanted to get some information.
South of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, in the continuous mountain range where the Internal Affairs Branch was located.
Within a luxurious palace, Chang Mingyang, Qin Xiu, Qi Yuzhen, and some disciples of the Internal Affairs Division were gathered here. They were either drinking to their heart's content or discussing loudly, causing the atmosphere to seem extremely fervent.
"Luo Yun hasn't made a move for three days. It seems like he has given up." Qi Yuzhen drank the wine in his cup in one gulp. He felt refreshed.
"That might not be the case." Qin Xiu shook his head and said worriedly, "Luo Yun is cunning and has many tricks up his sleeve. He hasn't left the Swordmaster Peak for three days. It's very likely that he's planning something."
Hearing this, many disciples nodded in agreement.
Ever since Luo Yun entered the Myriad Swords Pavilion, everything he did was shocking. No one knew what trump card he had up his sleeves until the very last moment.
"Don't worry, Luo Yun won't be able to make a comeback this time!"
A confident voice came out of Chang Mingyang's mouth, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
He smirked and said proudly, "If Luo Yun wasn't the Shadow Swordsman, all this would have nothing to do with him. However, the Shadow Swordsman had dominated the Wanjian Pavilion for three years. Even the Law Enforcers couldn't catch him. How could Luo Yun catch the Shadow Swordsman in three days?"
"Moreover, the Shadow Swordsman is not a fool. In the past three days, the former did not make a move, allowing the Wanjian Pavilion to return to its former peace. By doing this, it is clear that he wants to hide and let Luo Yun be the scapegoat."
"In this situation, Luo Yun is in a very passive and helpless situation. I really can't think of any way he can protect himself tomorrow!"
Chang Mingyang's analysis caused many people to come to a sudden realization. Only now did they realize that Chu Xingyun's situation was actually so difficult that it was practically impossible for him to turn things around.
"Regardless of whether Luo Yun is the Shadow Swordsman or not, getting rid of this thorn in our side can be considered a great harvest. Those disciples didn't die in vain." Qi Yuzhen looked at Qin Xiu and Chang Mingyang and raised his wine cup high.
"Indeed!"
Chang Mingyang and Qin Xiu looked at each other and nodded at almost the same time. Their wine cups clinked against each other, creating a crisp sound that livened up the atmosphere. The music continued for a long time.
As the night deepened, Qi Yuzhen and the others left the palace. When they left, their faces were filled with anticipation. They couldn't wait to see Chu Xingyun's tragic end.
Chang Mingyang and Qin Xiu also left the palace and entered a secret cultivation room.
"How's the matter of the pill formula?" Chang Mingyang lowered his voice. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be a little unhappy.
"We're already searching with all our might, but there's no news at the moment." Qin Xiu lowered his head and resentfully replied.
Hmph!
Chang Mingyang raised his eyebrows and snorted, "It's been three days since Qin Xianjun died, and you guys haven't even found a single pill formula. What a bunch of good-for-nothings!"
Being scolded by Chang Mingyang, Qin Xiu didn't dare to refute. He still lowered his head and pressed his forehead against the ground.
At the banquet, the tall and thin youth who spoke up to help Chang Mingyang refine the pill was Qin Xianjun, who was killed by the Shadow Swordsman.
Chang Mingyang didn't care about his death.
What Chang Mingyang really cared about was the pill formula.
Therefore, he had ordered Qin Xiu to search with all his might. He had to find the pill formula no matter what and continue his extreme methods.
But in the end, the pill formula had disappeared. This made Chang Mingyang very angry. He felt like his hopes were dashed, so he could only vent his anger on Qin Xiu.
"I'll do my best to search for the pill formula's whereabouts. At the same time, I'll find other substitutes. I hope Big Brother Chang won't be angry. After tomorrow, Luo Yun will no longer be the high and mighty Sword Master. At that time, Lu Qingxuan will still be in your pocket." Qin Xiu only dared to speak when he saw that Chang Mingyang was no longer speaking.
"I hope so!" Chang Mingyang shouted again. He waved his sleeves and left the secret cultivation room without looking back.
After he left, the secret cultivation room returned to normal.
"After pursuing Lu Qingxuan for three years, not only did you not make any progress, you even lost to Luo Yun. If we're talking about a good-for-nothing, it's obviously you. How dare you abuse others? What a joke!"
"If not for the fact that you're the son of the Sword Master, I, Qin Xiu, wouldn't even bother to associate myself with you!"
Qin Xiu pointed in the direction where Chang Mingyang had left and kept scolding him. Of course, the secret cultivation room was isolated. People outside couldn't hear anything from inside.
There were seven Sword Masters in the Internal Affairs Branch. They were in charge of all matters in Wanjian Pavilion.
However, the seven Sword Masters were not as united as one. Internally, there were many conflicts between them.
Chang Chixiao was in charge of the Internal Affairs Branch. His position was undoubtedly the highest. As Chang Chixiao's son, Chang Mingyang's talent wasn't low. Moreover, he was favored by the Pavilion Master. His future achievements were bound to be great.
Therefore, Qin Xiu was flattering Chang Mingyang. He didn't treat him with sincerity.
After a while, Qin Xiu finally stopped scolding.
He took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down. Then, he sat down cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
The night was like water, filled with a tranquil atmosphere.
It was the same inside the secret cultivation room. Other than the sound of spiritual power flowing, there was no other sound.
Patter!
A soft sound suddenly rang out, waking Qin Xiu up. Vigorous Yang Energy surged out of his body. He shouted, "Who's there!"
The sound waves swept through the entire space.
However, the moment he spoke, a pair of strange eyes appeared in the void in front of him.
This pair of eyes were scarlet and strange. They emitted a strange light that easily penetrated the power of the Astral Yang and landed directly in Qin Xiu's eyes. It caused his eyes to tremble and fill with fear without any warning.
For a moment, Qin Xiu's thoughts were interrupted.
