The Sixth Personal Disciple
Fan Wujie's arrival had not been announced, and his departure had been silent as well. The crowd in Tianyang City had not sensed his presence at all.
The next morning, the sun had just risen.
Chu Xingyun stepped out of the courtyard and saw Fan Wuchen. Behind him were the six Sword Masters of the Law Enforcement Faction. They stood side by side and looked at Chu Xingyun in unison.
"Sword Master Luo Yun." Fan Wuchen stepped forward. His expression was still solemn, but when he spoke, there was a sense of intimacy. He no longer kept people at arm's length.
"The Pavilion Master ordered us to return to the 10,000 Swords Pavilion today. The flying Spirit Beasts are ready. If there's nothing else, let's set off immediately," Fan Wu Chen said. Then, he pointed his finger and a group of people appeared in the void.
These figures were all flying spirit beasts.
Many figures were already standing on the backs of the spirit beasts. Lu Qingxuan, Ning Lefan, and the others were there. The four Sword Masters of the Technique Imparting Faction were there. Even the seven Sword Masters of the Internal Affairs Faction were there.
Their expressions were different. Some were happy, some were relaxed, but at the same time, there was also gloominess and indifference.
Especially Chang Chixiao.
His eyes, which were fixed on Chu Xingyun, were gloomy. His face was as dark as a ghost, as if he wanted to use his gaze to kill Chu Xingyun on the spot.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun suddenly smiled.
He thought that after Fan Wujie left last night, he should have met with the other Sword Masters and ordered them to withdraw from Tianyang City and return to Wanjian Pavilion together.
What had happened during this time was too complicated. Coupled with Chu Xingyun's deliberate concealment, even an ambitious person like Fan Wujie could not see the truth.
However, Fan Wujie only cared about Chu Xingyun's life and death.
When he knew that not only was Chu Xingyun not dead, but his strength had increased greatly, the truth was meaningless.
Since there was no point, the next step was naturally for all the sword masters to return to Wanjian Pavilion.
As for the death of Chang Mingyang and the others, Fan Wujie did not forget about it. He left the Blood Mage Team and the Law Enforcement Team behind and ordered them to continue the investigation. However, everyone knew that this was just on the surface.
After all, it had been a few days since the deaths of Chang Mingyang and the others. Even if they wanted to investigate, it would be difficult to get any results. In the end, it would just end up with nothing.
"At first, I was worried that the internal affairs department would be entangled. Now, it seems that I worried too much." Chu Xingyun guessed from Chang Chixiao's expression that the latter had most likely been warned by Fan Wujie and did not dare to be aggressive.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Chu Xingyun took a step forward and jumped onto the back of the flying spirit beast.
Seeing this, Fan Wu Chen immediately shouted, "Let's go!"
Accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, the spirit beasts flew into the sky and hurried toward the Wanjian Pavilion.
About half a day later, the group saw the towering Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.
"Buzz!"
As soon as the Mountain-guarding Sword Formation was activated, the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and wood. The Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth condensed into a fog that rushed toward them and lingered around them.
"We're finally back!"
Ning Lefan and the others looked at the familiar scene in front of them and then looked at the figures that flitted past them. Their originally tense nerves gradually relaxed.
This time, they had not left Wanjian Pavilion for long, but they had been separated by life and death. In particular, Chu Xingyun's disappearance had almost caused them to have a nervous breakdown. Now that they had safely returned to Wanjian Pavilion, they could not help but sigh.
Seeing that everyone was sighing, the corners of Chu Xingyun's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile.
However, this smile was full of deep meaning that no one could see through.
The news of Chu Xingyun's safe return had already spread throughout the Wanjian Pavilion.
Before returning to Swordmaster Peak, Chu Xingyun saw that many outer sect disciples had already gathered at the foot of the mountain. At the head of the group stood a beautiful figure. It was Xia Qingcheng.
When she saw Chu Xingyun, she immediately flew over.
"You've worked hard during this period of time," Chu Xingyun said apologetically.
During the time that he had been missing, Xia Qingcheng had not gone to Tianyang City. Instead, she had chosen to stay in Wanjian Pavilion and carefully manage the outer sect so that it could operate normally.
If not for this, even if Chu Xingyun had returned now, the outer sect would have needed some time to reorganize.
"Before you left, I promised you that I would help you manage the outer sect. What I did was only part of my job." Xia Qingcheng's tone was casual, but her beautiful eyes sized up Chu Xingyun. Seeing that he was fine, she sighed in relief.
Although she knew that Chu Xingyun was fine, she only felt at ease after seeing him with her own eyes.
Feeling the concern in Xia Qingcheng's eyes, Chu Xingyun was quite moved. He shifted his gaze and saw a tall youth following closely behind Xia Qingcheng.
The youth also stared at Chu Xingyun. He took a deep breath and took a big step forward. He said with some excitement, "Disciple Shi Hao greets Swordmaster Luo Yun."
"You're still calling me Swordmaster?" Hearing Shi Hao's words, Xia Qingcheng covered her mouth and smiled. She said to Chu Xingyun, "A few days ago, Shi Hao successfully broke through the fifth sword stele. According to your instructions, I have already let him stay at Swordmaster Peak."
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun's expression did not change. He nodded indifferently.
The fifth sword stele was the Earth Sword Stele.
Among the outer sect disciples, Chu Xingyun already knew who was proficient in the Earth Sword Intent. This tall youth named Shi Hao was someone he had been paying attention to for a long time.
Therefore, he was not surprised that Shi Hao could break through the Earth Sword Stele.
"Breaking through the sword stele gives you the qualifications to become a personal disciple. In the future, you can just call me master." Chu Xingyun flicked his finger. The Nine Profound Yang Pill that flickered with red light landed in Shi Hao's hands.
"Disciple will listen to master's orders!" Shi Hao held the Nine Profound Yang Pill tightly and bowed again.
Chu Xingyun nodded in satisfaction. When he came back to his senses, he gave Lu Qingxuan a look. Then, he pointed at the sixth sword stele and said, "After breaking through the sword stele, directly ascend the peak."
"Yes!" Lu Qingxuan immediately replied. Her figure flickered as she rushed towards the sixth sword stele.
"The sixth sword stele is the Sword Stele of Light. After breaking through this stele, six of the seven types of sword intents have already been gathered. Only the final water type sword intent is left, and then I can officially begin to arrange that sword formation." Chu Xingyun suddenly said inwardly.
As long as he thought about that sword formation, a wave of excitement would surge from the depths of his heart.
In his previous life, he relied on that sword formation to sweep through the wastelands and defeat countless experts. Even the high and mighty Martial Emperor experts were defeated with hatred.
The current him was currently planning. If he could successfully arrange that sword formation, it would be of great help to his great plan of revenge!
While thinking, Chu Xingyun glanced towards the third sword stele from the corners of his eyes.
It was also at this moment that a familiar azure figure entered his eyes.
That azure figure seemed to have sensed Chu Xingyun's gaze. Her delicate body actually trembled fiercely. Her red lips opened slightly, but she still didn't release the slightest bit of sound.
In the end, that azure figure released a long sigh. She bowed slightly towards Chu Xingyun's direction, and then moved her lotus steps, walking up to the third sword stele.
Qiang!
The longsword hacked down on the sword stele, releasing a sharp and clear sound of collision. However, it still couldn't break through.
Only, that azure figure wasn't discouraged.
She seemed to be used to this scene. She raised the longsword again and continued to stab towards the third sword stele.
Sword after sword stabbed out.
Sword after sword failed.
