A Powerful Counterattack
This voice caused the space to become deathly silent.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, a slender figure dressed in black slowly walked over from not far away. Along with his appearance were thousands of sword lights. With him as the center, they scattered in all directions. They were even more dazzling and dazzling than the sun.
"Master!"
Ning Lefan was the first to regain his senses.
After he shouted, he quickly ran forward. Because he was too excited, his expression was strange. He seemed to be smiling and crying at the same time. His mouth was slightly open, but he didn't know what to say.
After that, Yun Changqing and the others also rushed over.
They first sized up Chu Xingyun. Seeing that he wasn't injured, they let out a sigh of relief and surrounded him, as if they were afraid that Chu Xingyun would suddenly disappear.
"Luo Yun, your cultivation …" At this time, Yun Changqing noticed the change in Chu Xingyun. His face revealed a shocked expression as his mouth opened so wide that a copper bell could be stuffed in.
With his reminder, the crowd realized that Chu Xingyun's cultivation was no longer in the 9th layer of the Earth Spirit Realm, but in the 2nd layer of the Heavenly Spirit Realm!
Furthermore, the Yang energy on Chu Xingyun's body was as thick as the sea and surging like an abyss. Even a trace of it was emitted, causing one's Spiritual Sea to tremble and find it difficult to breathe normally.
If an ordinary person in the 2nd layer of the Heavenly Spirit Realm was compared to a flame that could burn thousands of things, then the current Chu Xingyun was a blazing sun that could burn the sky and boil the sea.
"I had some fortuitous encounters these past few days and luckily broke through." Chu Xingyun said modestly. His gaze swept across and once again looked at Chang Chixiao, Qi Yangchen, and the others in front of him. He continued to walk forward.
Not long after, Chu Xingyun stood in front of Chang Chixiao.
His eyes were very cold, as cold as ice, causing Chang Chixiao's heart to palpitate. At the same time, his heart was also filled with doubt, surprise, and even fear.
Chang Chixiao was like this, and so were Qi Yangchen and the others behind him.
In their minds, Chu Xingyun should have died a long time ago. There was no chance for him to survive.
But at this moment, Chu Xingyun was standing in front of them, alive and well. Not only was his body unharmed, his cultivation had also risen by a huge leap, successfully entering the second layer of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
They really couldn't imagine how Chu Xingyun had managed to avoid being hunted down, and how he had managed to make successive breakthroughs in just a few days to reach such an astonishing realm.
"Chang Chixiao." Chu Xingyun suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
His expression was cold as he said to Chang Chixiao, "As the leader of the outer sect, I belong to the Technique Imparting Division. If I unfortunately die, the outer sect will be controlled by the Technique Imparting Division. It will have nothing to do with the Internal Affairs Division."
"The words you just said are not only unpleasant to the ears, but they are also suspected of encroaching on the Cultivation Imparting Lineage. I will report these words to the Pavilion Master. The Internal Affairs Lineage has been arrogant for so many years. It's time for you to rein in your arrogance."
Thump!
The sound of each word was like a heavy hammer, causing Chang Chixiao's heart to tremble.
If Chu Xingyun had died, although his words were a little arrogant, no one would dare to say anything. After all, if Chu Xingyun died, the outer sect would have no leader again, and Fan Wujie wouldn't care too much.
But now, not only was Chu Xingyun not dead, he had also stepped into the second layer of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and his strength had greatly increased.
Once Chu Xingyun said those words, Fan Wujie had no choice but to listen. Although he wouldn't severely punish Chang Chixiao, he would most likely give him a warning and suppress him, which would be detrimental to the Internal Affairs Lineage.
Therefore, in the face of Chu Xingyun's threat, Chang Chixiao didn't refute. He was already at a disadvantage, and was afraid that Chu Xingyun would catch him again. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
"Moreover …"
Chu Xingyun didn't stop. His gaze moved away from Chang Chixiao, and he took in everyone in his eyes. His tone was still cold. "I hope you can remember the two words I just said. I will never go back on my words!"
Buzz!
The Internal Affairs Lineage felt a chill descend upon them because of Chu Xingyun's words. They all held their breaths and looked at each other, their expressions extremely ugly.
"They're just a bunch of mobs. Master, don't bother." Lu Qingyao walked to Chu Xingyun's side and coldly glanced around.
At this time, Gu Xuanqing, Ning Lefan, and the others also walked over. They had long been dissatisfied with the Internal Affairs Lineage, and at this moment, they didn't hide the ridicule in their hearts at all.
Chu Xingyun nodded and stepped forward, wanting to leave this place.
"Wait!"
A figure suddenly appeared and blocked Chu Xingyun's path.
The one who spoke was Qi Yangchen.
He looked at Chu Xingyun with a trace of hatred in his eyes. He coldly said, "I heard that Luo Yun Sword Master was trapped in the beast tide and was besieged by two sixth layer Heavenly Spirit Layer cultivators. Not only is he fine now, but he also had a fortuitous encounter that caused his cultivation to increase greatly. I hope Luo Yun Sword Master can tell us the whole story."
Hearing those words, everyone turned to look at Chu Xingyun. Their gazes were filled with curiosity. They wanted to know what was going on.
"Do I have to tell you just because you want to hear it?" Chu Xingyun sneered. He didn't stop walking and shouted, "Move aside!"
A trace of killing intent rose in Qi Yangchen's heart. He didn't retreat, but instead moved forward. He arrived in front of Chu Xingyun and said with a gloomy expression, "Luo Yun, do you not want to say it, or do you not dare to say it?"
"In the three days that you went missing, my son, Chang Mingyang, and Teng Qing were killed by a mysterious expert. On the same day, the masked man named Liu Xing suddenly disappeared. Three days later, you, who should have died, not only returned safely, but your cultivation also increased greatly."
"You said you had a fortuitous encounter, but in these three days, we almost sealed off the entire Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, but we didn't notice anything strange. This series of events is a bit too coincidental. It really makes people suspect …"
"You suspect that I set up this entire scheme to create an alibi and secretly kill Qi Yuzhen and the others. Then, you'll use this opportunity to suppress the Internal Affairs Branch and raise your own status and power. Am I right?" Chu Xingyun continued with a faint smile on his face.
He had been hiding in Heavenly Sun City for the past few days. He had seen everything that had happened. As soon as Qi Yangchen opened his mouth, he guessed the other's intention.
"This is no small matter. It's normal for me to have my suspicions. Furthermore …" Qi Yangchen opened his hands and said loudly, "Everyone in the Internal Affairs Branch wants to know the ins and outs of this matter!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward again. Behind him, Chang Chixiao, Qin Qiumo, and the others immediately understood. They followed closely behind Qi Yangchen and also stepped forward.
Boom!
A terrifying aura descended, causing the Spiritual Energy in the air to freeze. Yun Changqing, Lei Yuanguang, and the others' expressions changed. A vast aura also surged out of their bodies, and they were about to rush forward.
However, just as their auras condensed, Chu Xingyun, who was standing in front of them, moved. A strange purple light bloomed from his body, and in an instant, he disappeared without a trace.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of Qi Yangchen. In his hand, he had already tightly grasped the Black Hole Epee. The blade of the sword was so sharp that it crushed and exploded the air.
"Slash!" Chu Xingyun shouted.
