The Tiger Harms the Human Heart
The newcomers were Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo.
Laughter filled their eyes as they approached Baili Kuangsheng, but before they could even open their mouths, Baili Kuangsheng's cold voice rang in their ears. "The two of you have some guts, actually daring to abuse the Sword Master Token!"
The Swordmaster Token was the proof of being the Swordmaster.
In the past, when Chu Xingyun was the Swordmaster, Fan Wujie had given it to him in front of everyone.
Apart from being the proof of being the Swordmaster, the Swordmaster Token was also a treasure. As long as a secret technique was used, even if they were thousands of miles apart, they could communicate and send simple messages.
However, Wanjian Pavilion had a rule that the Swordmaster Token could only be used when Wanjian Pavilion was in danger. If there was any disobedience, even the Swordmaster would be severely punished.
The day before, Baili Kuangsheng had received Chang Chixiao's message. He had ended his training and rushed back to Wanjian Pavilion.
However, he had met Chang Chixiao as soon as he entered Ten Thousand Swords Peak.
At that time, Chang Chixiao's expression was relaxed as he told Baili Kuangsheng that Wanjian Pavilion was not in danger. The reason why he had used the Swordmaster Token was because he wanted to discuss a confidential matter with Baili Kuangsheng.
Before Baili Kuangsheng could even respond, Fan Wujie and the others had already arrived at the mountain gate and welcomed him into the Ten-thousand Swords Palace. They even held a banquet for him.
During this process, Chang Chixiao had been transmitting his message to Baili Kuangsheng, telling him not to mention this matter and that he would explain it in detail after the banquet.
Because of this, Baili Kuangsheng ended the banquet hastily and returned to Swordmaster Peak.
"Sword Master Mang Sheng, your words are too serious." Qin Qiumo smiled at the side. However, as soon as he spoke, Baili Kuangsheng sneered. "If I'm not wrong, the confidential matter you're talking about should be related to Luo Yun, right?"
"Hmm?"
Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo were speechless.
They looked at each other with a bitter smile in their eyes.
Baili Kuangsheng continued, "While I was training, I was also paying attention to the movements of Wanjian Pavilion. Luo Yun, as a new genius, has been in the pavilion for less than a year, but he has already won the favor of the master. However, your branch of internal affairs has quite a bit of conflict with him. If you want to talk about something confidential, it naturally has something to do with him."
He sneered and snorted, "I'm not interested in your personal grudges, and I don't want to get involved. Please leave!"
At this point, Baili Kuangsheng withdrew his gaze and strode towards the courtyard.
"Sword Master Mangra!" Qin Qiumo's expression was unsightly. He was about to stop them when Chang Chixiao pulled him back. He said coldly, "Sword Master Mang Sheng, what do you think of Luo Yun after meeting him today?"
As he spoke, Baili Kuangsheng had no intention of stopping. He continued to walk forward.
Chang Chixiao gritted his teeth and said, "As the saying goes, a man has no intention of harming a tiger, but the tiger has no intention of harming a man. Perhaps you have no enmity towards Luo Yun, but Luo Yun may not see you in the same way!"
Patter!
Baili Kuangsheng's footsteps suddenly came to a halt as he glanced over, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
Chang Chixiao heaved a sigh of relief. He stepped forward and walked towards Baili Kuangsheng. He said earnestly, "Just now in the Martial Arts Arena, you looked at Luo Yun and carefully sized him up. I'm sure you can feel his tyrannical talent."
"This boy is still young, but his talent is extremely high. His understanding of the Sword Principle is not below yours. Because of this, the Pavilion Master has given him so many privileges and wants to nurture him to become a pillar of Wanjian Pavilion."
"Now in Wanjian Pavilion, you and Luo Yun are two peerless talents. In the future, the Pavilion Master position of Wanjian Pavilion will belong to one of you. Perhaps Sword Master Mang Sheng does not care about the Pavilion Master position, but Luo Yun will not."
"That Luo Yun slaughtered over three thousand people as soon as he took over the Outer Court. He even took in three thousand disciples and completely controlled all the power in the Outer Court. If he really becomes the Master of the Myriad Sword Pavilion one day, the first thing he will do will be to eliminate the different races and become the ruler."
"At that time, the most threatening force to him will not be the Internal Affairs Faction …"
Chang Chixiao suddenly raised his voice and said loudly, "It will be the Pavilion Master's disciple, Sword Master Mang Sheng, who is also a monstrous talent!"
As he finished speaking.
The space fell into silence.
After a few breaths, Baili Kuangsheng finally said, "Do you have any evidence for what you said?"
"I don't have any evidence, but I don't need evidence either."
Hearing Baili Kuangsheng's question, Chang Chixiao's face gradually lit up with joy. However, his tone was still heavy as he said, "When it comes to power struggles, there's no evidence to speak of. Even if there's the slightest possibility, we have to do our best to eliminate it. I'm sure Sword Sovereign Kuangsheng understands this point."
"Sword Master Mang Sheng is stronger than Luo Yun now, but no one can say for sure how strong Luo Yun will be in a year, or even half a year."
As Chang Chixiao's words reached here, Baili Kuangsheng abruptly turned his head as he icily asked, "Are you trying to scare me?"
"I'm just telling the truth." Chang Chixiao shook his head, but his expression was still firm and serious. He said loudly, "Luo Yun is someone who cannot be judged by common sense. Anything can happen to him."
"As I said earlier, the position of Pavilion Master will definitely belong to either you or Luo Yun. If Sword Sovereign Kuangsheng succeeds, everyone will be happy. However, if Luo Yun succeeds, it will be a great crisis for you and the Internal Affairs Branch."
"Instead of putting your fate in the hands of others, why not take full control of it yourself? More importantly, you and I are in the same boat. If we work together, we can easily get rid of Luo Yun!"
After he finished speaking, Chang Chixiao exhaled a mouthful of turbid air as he looked at Baili Kuangsheng with apprehension in his eyes.
This was his only way!
Right now, Chu Xingyun was deeply favored by Fan Wujie. The latter didn't hesitate to open the Spiritual Herb Hut to nurture Chu Xingyun.
If Chang Chixiao made a move on Chu Xingyun, Fan Wujie would definitely be furious. Perhaps the entire Internal Affairs Faction would be severely punished. Therefore, if he wanted to get rid of Chu Xingyun, he had to ask Baili Kuangsheng for help.
The reason was simple. In terms of status, only Baili Kuangsheng could stand shoulder to shoulder with Chu Xingyun.
Baili Kuangsheng's gaze froze. He lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while, the coldness in his eyes gradually faded. He swept his gaze around and looked at Chang Chixiao. He said, "According to what you said, you've already thought of a countermeasure?"
Hearing this, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo were stunned.
