In order to protect
Fan Wu Chen's words were simple, so simple that it was hard to believe.
Everyone knew that Fan Wu Chen was in charge of the Law Enforcement Faction and had always been upright and plainspoken. He had personally come to Tianyang City to investigate the assassination under Fan Wu Chen's orders.
Normally, he would be suspicious when he saw Chu Xingyun.
However, not only did he not pursue the matter, he waved his hand and dismissed the crowd. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed that Fan Wu Chen had such a side to him.
Everyone's faces were filled with shock. Only Chu Xingyun's expression remained indifferent. It was as if he had already anticipated this.
He turned around and cupped his fists at Fan Wu Chen. "Since Sword Master Wu Chen has spoken, I will not stay any longer. If there is any progress in the assassination, please inform me immediately."
With that, Chu Xingyun strode away under everyone's watchful eyes.
Yun Changqing, Ning Lefan and the others were filled with doubts, but they did not ask any questions. They followed closely behind Chu Xingyun and left as well.
How could Qi Yang Chen let the matter rest as he watched them leave one by one? However, when he raised his head, he was met with Fan Wu Chen's sinister eyes. He shuddered and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
After Chu Xingyun and the others left, the others also left one after another. When they left, they were all discussing in low voices. In a short while, everything that had happened had spread throughout Tianyang City.
On the flat ground, the figures gradually left. In the end, only Qi Yangchen, Qin Qiumo, and Chang Chixiao were left.
The three of them were still standing in the same spot. They raised their heads and looked at the setting sun. Their bodies exuded an aura of dusk, as if they had aged more than ten years in an instant.
This was because their children were all dead. Not a single one was left alive.
Qi Yangchen looked ahead. The scene that had just happened was deeply etched in his memory. He was so angry that his teeth chattered. "Luo Yun's actions are getting more and more outrageous. I will not forgive him!"
Qin Qiumo and Chang Chixiao turned to look at Qi Yangchen at the same time.
Chang Chixiao shook his head, "The Pavilion Master has always thought highly of Luo Yun's talent and has always given him convenience. After this matter, Luo Yun's talent has been gradually revealed. Even Fan Wuchen has to protect him. It's too difficult for us to make a move against him."
"We've spent too much manpower and resources on this scheme. It's not realistic to rearrange it." Qin Qiumo also sighed. This was a rare opportunity, but he failed in the end. He was very depressed.
"Then according to what you're saying, we should just give up?" Qi Yang's eyes widened, and his voice was filled with endless bitterness.
"Of course not!"
Chang Chixiao's eyes flashed with a cold light as he roared, "The grudge between us and Luo Yun can no longer be erased. As long as he doesn't die, we will always be on the edge. After entering the Heavenly Spirit Realm, his strength has increased greatly, so we have to make a move. We can't let his talent be completely revealed."
"We have to kill him, but it can't be any one of us, including the entire Internal Affairs Branch."
Hearing this, Qi Yangchen and Qin Qiumo looked at each other, their minds filled with doubt. In the end, they asked in unison, "According to what you said, who was the one who made the move?"
Chang Chixiao paused for a moment, then said, "Baili Kuangsheng!"
While the three were talking, Yun Changqing and the rest were gathered in the hall. They were all silent as they stared at Chu Xingyun. The doubt in their eyes explained everything.
Chu Xingyun shook his head with a smile and explained, "On my way back to Heavenly Sun City, I met Lu Xing by chance. So when I entered Heavenly Sun City, I met Sword Master Wuchen and told him everything that happened in the past few days."
"Because of this, he already knew that I had nothing to do with the assassination. Naturally, he wouldn't pay attention to what Qi Yangchen said. With just one sentence, he rejected it completely, unwilling to waste time."
"No wonder you were so calm just now. So you already knew that Fan Wuchen wouldn't pursue this matter. That's why you dared to be so arrogant and even attacked Qi Yangchen to vent your anger?" Tang Yunhuan said in shock as he recalled what had happened.
"You can say that." Chu Xingyun shrugged and said indifferently, "The Internal Affairs Branch has been arrogant for a long time. After I made my move, they probably won't provoke us in the short term. After fighting for so long, it's time to take a break."
Hearing this, everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Before this, they didn't know this and were filled with nervousness. They were even prepared to fight to the death and fight their way out.
Unexpectedly, all of this was under Chu Xingyun's control.
"Since what happened just now has come to an end, let's not harp on it." Yun Changqing stroked his long beard and suddenly changed the topic. He asked, "What about the Beast Tide and the two experts?"
"That's right. Luo Yun, what happened to you that your cultivation rose so quickly?" Lei Yuanguang also asked. His voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone's gazes landed on him.
Chu Xingyun smiled bitterly and repeated what he had told Fan Wuchen long ago without missing a single detail.
After this incident, Chu Xingyun could already see that everyone present had no other thoughts about him. They were full of trust and certainty.
Therefore, he couldn't tell the truth.
Revenge seemed simple, but it involved the Wanjian Pavilion and the Ancient Star Sect. Chu Xingyun didn't want to drag them into the muddy water because of him.
He didn't hide it to deceive them, but to protect them.
After Chu Xingyun finished speaking, everyone finally let out a deep breath that they had been holding. Their faces were filled with emotions.
"This incident can be said to be a complete dead end. Fortunately, Master is blessed by the heavens. Not only did he avoid the pursuit, but he also had a fortuitous encounter and advanced to the second layer of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. In addition, Chang Chixiao and Qi Yuzhen were also killed by a mysterious expert. This can be said to be a ruthless blow to the complacent attitude of the Internal Affairs Faction!"
Lu Qingyao's face was filled with excitement. She chuckled and said, "Most importantly, sister also benefited from the disaster and successfully escaped from Chang Chixiao's evil clutches. She is now free and can officially become Master's disciple."
"Qingyao, don't talk nonsense!"
Hearing Lu Qingyao's words, Lu Qingxuan hurriedly stopped her. She whispered, "For someone like me who was expelled from the sect, how could I dare to ask for such a thing?"
A bitter expression appeared on Lu Qingxuan's face. Her clear eyes stole a few glances in Chu Xingyun's direction.
Chu Xingyun naturally sensed Lu Qingxuan's gaze and smiled faintly.
He was also quite satisfied with Lu Qingxuan. Her temperament and words were impeccable.
However, Chu Xingyun didn't immediately agree.
He paused and then said, "I don't care about her background, what she encountered, whether she was expelled from the sect or not. As long as she can break the sword stele, she is qualified to become a personal disciple."
