Sword Stele Broken Again
Fan Wujie left.
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he did not explain much. He only left the matter of tracking down the Shadow Swordsman to the law enforcement branch and walked out of the law enforcement hall complacently.
The law enforcement branch was naturally the next to leave.
Fan Wujie personally gave the order to start a thorough investigation of the Shadow Swordsman's whereabouts. This time, the Blood Mage Squad and the law enforcement squad both took action. They were so powerful that it seemed as if they were going to seal off Wanjian Pavilion.
After the law enforcement branch left, Chu Xingyun and the four sword masters of the Technique Imparting Lineage also left one after another.
When they left, the vast and mighty crowd followed them. Their gazes had been fixed on Chu Xingyun the entire time, as if they were eager to find some clues about him.
The last to leave was the internal affairs branch.
Their expressions were unusually ugly. They stood in place for a long time before they left separately.
Among them, Qin Qiumo did not say a word when he left. His eyes were lifeless as if he had lost his soul. His every move was like that of a walking corpse. No one dared to talk to him.
The sun set in the west. The curtain of night gradually enveloped Wanjian Pavilion.
The hustle and bustle of the past few days also gradually disappeared under the silent moonlight. It was as if the pavilion had returned to its former tranquility. It no longer made people feel alarmed and fearful.
However, what had happened during the day was still talked about enthusiastically.
Countless people were guessing whether Chu Xingyun and Fan Wujie had communicated with each other and deliberately put on such a good show.
It was clearly a situation of certain death, but in the end, there was such a reversal. Not only was Chu Xingyun not punished, but he was also cleared of suspicion and even received the pavilion master's praise.
This matter was too mysterious and unpredictable. Everyone wanted to know the truth.
In Chu Xingyun's residence on the Sword Master Peak.
Yun Changqing and the others sat in front of Chu Xingyun. They all stared at him with their eyes wide open. Their faces and eyes were filled with strong curiosity, which made his hair stand on end.
"Now, you should say it, right?" This time, the first to speak was actually the taciturn Su Lengliu.
As soon as he spoke, the people around him were stunned, but soon, they nodded heavily and took a step forward in unison, with a hint of interrogation.
Chu Xingyun couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He laughed and said, "Actually, this entire matter isn't as complicated as you all imagine it to be. There was no collusion between me and the pavilion master. Everything originated from that sword."
Hearing this, the crowd was still full of doubts. They did not understand what Chu Xingyun meant, but they did not say anything and just listened quietly.
"It's because I control the power of darkness that the Internal Affairs Faction refused to let me go and forcefully slandered me as the Shadow Swordsman. That's why I revealed the power of darkness that I control in front of the Pavilion Master."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Yun Changqing's brows relaxed as he understood, "The power of that sword was extremely terrifying. Judging from its destructive power, even a person in the fifth layer of the Heavenly Spirit Layer would be heavily injured or even die on the spot. If it landed on a person in the second layer of the Heavenly Spirit Layer, their flesh would definitely crumble and they would die without a complete corpse. You want to use that sword to show that your strength far surpasses the Shadow Swordsman?"
"That's right."
Chu Xingyun nodded and explained, "The reason why there was a remnant of the power of darkness on those corpses was because the Shadow Swordsman was not strong enough. The two sides had an intense battle before, and I, who can break all laws with a single sword, can instantly take the lives of others. How could there be any remnant of the power of darkness?"
"Just this point alone is enough to clear my name and prove that I'm not the Shadow Swordsman."
At this moment, Xia Qingcheng, Ning Lefan and the others finally came to a realization. When they looked at Chu Xingyun, other than astonishment, their gazes were filled with admiration.
Although such a method was simple, it was filled with difficulties to carry it out.
Fan Wujie was the Pavilion Master of the Wanjian Pavilion. His cultivation was high and he had even reached the Nirvana Realm. He had already touched the laws of the world.
It was truly difficult to wave a sword in front of him. If one did not have absolute confidence and a strong will like a boulder, one would not dare to do such a thing.
Even unsheathing a sword would be difficult.
"This time, not only have you been cleared of suspicion, you have also fully displayed your talent and strength. It's no wonder that the Pavilion Master raised his head and laughed. To be able to erupt with such terrifying battle strength at the ninth level of the Earth Spirit Realm, when you enter the Heavenly Spirit Realm in the future, the Wanjian Pavilion will definitely have another peerless monster." Yun Changqing stroked his long beard, his face full of praise.
"However, you have to pay more attention to the Internal Affairs Faction in the future," Tang Yunhuan suddenly said.
Tang Yunhuan suddenly spoke and said earnestly, "Although this matter has nothing to do with you, the Internal Affairs Faction will definitely not let it go. Especially Qin Qiumo, he lost two sons in a row and has already placed all his hatred on you. The hatred of a Sword Master is not something to be trifled with."
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun only smiled.
In his previous life, all the people he faced were powerful Martial Emperors. Whether it was shrewdness or strength, they were thousands of times better than Qin Qiumo, or even more.
Now, even though his cultivation was not high, he was still quite confident in facing Qin Qiumo and the others.
However, confidence was confidence, and Chu Xingyun would not underestimate them.
A lion would go all out to catch a rabbit.
As long as it was an enemy, regardless of their cultivation or methods, Chu Xingyun would go all out and completely trample them under his feet, so that they would never be able to rise again.
Crack! Crack!
Crisp cracking sounds were heard, interrupting everyone's conversation. Then, the cracking sounds gradually became muffled and exploded like muffled thunder, attracting everyone's attention.
"This sound seems to be the sound of the Sword Stele breaking," Gu Xuanqing pondered for a moment and said resentfully.
As soon as his voice fell, two figures flew over from the void in front of him.
They were both women.
One of them was dressed in a black robe, and her aura was cold as if she had merged into the dark night sky.
The other was dressed in a snow-white dress, and her aura was gentle and ethereal, like a fairy who had descended from the Moon Palace.
What was even more shocking was that the faces of these two women were exactly the same. They were both so exquisite and so beautiful that they could cause the downfall of a city.
"Why, why are there two Lu Qingxuan?" Ning Lefan was so shocked that he jumped up, and his voice became stuttering.
Xia Qingcheng and the others were the same. They all widened their eyes in disbelief.
As for Yun Changqing and the others, they obviously knew of Lu Qingyao's existence.
However, their faces were also filled with shock.
They could feel that Lu Qingyao's body was emitting a dark aura. This aura was clearly transmitted here when the Sword Stele broke.
