Abuse of Power
Although he was distressed.
Chu Xingyun did not shrink back because of this.
He had to defeat Baili Kuangsheng in this battle and obtain the Void Yin Mysterious Grass.
Only then could he repair Wu Ling, the Nine-Star Water Lotus, and wake Luo Lan up from her slumber!
"I appreciate everyone's kindness," Chu Xingyun finally spoke.
He glanced at everyone and said slowly, "I know what to do about the battle. Please go back."
After saying that, Chu Xingyun turned around and walked towards the secret cultivation room without saying a word. He left everyone with his back as he gradually disappeared into the silent night.
Everyone stared ahead, their brows tightly knitted together.
If he was facing an ordinary martial artist, even if his opponent's cultivation had reached the fifth level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Chu Xingyun could easily defeat him with his talent and strength.
But this time, the person he was facing was the number one genius of Wanjian Pavilion.
Everyone could clearly feel the difficulty of this battle. At the same time, it was the first time they had seen Chu Xingyun reveal such a distressed expression. It showed how much pressure he was under.
"All we can do is to believe in Luo Yun," Yun Changqing sighed. Yun Changqing let out a long sigh. His words caused the crowd to nod in agreement. They silently left the hall, not daring to disturb him again.
When they left the Sword Master Peak, Baili Kuangsheng's courtyard welcomed Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo.
The two of them were in extremely good moods. Smiles could be seen on their faces as they conversed. Occasionally, they would even erupt into laughter, yet Baili Kuangsheng's countenance was as calm as ever.
"In just half a day, the battle invitation has spread throughout the Eighteen Dynasties. You must have done something here, right?" Baili Kuangsheng said as he looked straight at Chang Chixiao.
He and Chu Xingyun were known as the Sword Pavilion's Two Prides. Their every move was watched by countless people.
The moment the two of them challenged each other, it would naturally spread throughout the Myriad Swords Pavilion. There was no doubt about this. However, it would still take a few days for it to spread throughout the Eighteen Dynasties.
But in the end, in merely half a day, the Eighteen Dynasties all knew about this matter. Moreover, countless people formed groups and rushed to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion to personally witness the battle.
This speed was a little strange. Baili Kuangsheng could not help but feel suspicious.
"Of course!"
Chang Chixiao sat down and said proudly, "The most important part of this plan is to use the pressure of public opinion to destroy Luo Yun's confidence. As the head of the Internal Affairs Department, I have already planted a few spies in the Eighteen Dynasties. With a Sound Transmission, anything can be done...."
"Right now, I haven't fully spread out the situation. In three days, even more martial practitioners will arrive at the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion. As long as Luo Yun is defeated, just the voices of public opinion will be enough to drown him!"
As he spoke, Chang Chixiao revealed a ferocious smile.
The pressure of public opinion was invisible and hard to find.
But its existence could destroy other people's confidence and make it hard for them to pull themselves together. Sometimes, public opinion was sharper than a sword and could kill people without them noticing.
In Chang Chixiao's plan, this was the most important part.
Baili Kuangsheng nodded slightly. Then, he changed the topic and asked, "What about the Void Yin Mysterious Grass? How did you know that Luo Yun urgently needed it?"
The Void Yin Mysterious Grass in Baili Kuangsheng's hands was given to him by Qin Qiumo.
It was also Qin Qiumo's idea to use the Void Yin Mysterious Grass as a wager to force Chu Xingyun to accept the battle invitation. Baili Kuangsheng only carried out the plan step by step. He did not know the inside story.
"Perhaps Sword Master Mang Sheng does not know, but the Spirit Medicine Hut is under my management." Qin Qiumo smiled proudly.
He took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Luo Yun has special privileges. He can pick the spirit materials of the Spirit Medicine Hut as he wishes. Therefore, I sent people to watch Luo Yun. Once he enters the Spirit Medicine Hut, they will use the tracking spirit formation to lock onto his movements.
"As soon as Luo Yun starts to pick the spirit materials, I will secretly observe and determine what kind of spirit materials he needs. Then, I will use the spirit formation to seal off the area where the spirit materials are. At that time, I can use this to force Luo Yun."
The Spirit Medicine Hut was filled with spirit formations of various sizes.
However, these spirit formations existed to protect the Spirit Medicine Hut. They would only be activated if something major happened to the Spirit Medicine Hut. This was clearly written in the sect rules.
However, in order to complete his plan, Qin Qiumo completely ignored the sect rules. He even secretly activated the spirit formations to seal off the spirit materials to force Chu Xingyun.
After a pause, Qin Qiumo added, "Actually, even if Luo Yun does not enter the Spirit Medicine Hut, we still have a way to achieve this goal. You should know that the internal affairs branch is in charge of all matters in Wanjian Pavilion. As long as he is still in Wanjian Pavilion, we can secretly do something."
Hearing this, Baili Kuangsheng sneered and said, "The Sword Master's authority should be used to manage Wanjian Pavilion and maintain the peace of Wanjian Pavilion. However, in the hands of the two of you, it has become a private power. Everything is for yourself."
"Your actions have truly broadened my horizons!"
Hearing this, Qin Qiumo's expression changed. Before he could refute, Chang Chixiao chuckled and said, "The reason why we are using our authority is to assist the Sword Master of the Manic Sword."
"As long as the Sword Master of the Manic Sword defeats Luo Yun, the position of Pavilion Master will belong to you. The internal affairs branch can also use this opportunity to get rid of our enemy. The cooperation between you and me is beneficial for both sides. As for whether we are abusing our authority, no one will care."
"That makes sense!"
Qin Qiumo laughed and said to Baili Kuangsheng, "The Sword Master of the Manic Sword is focused on cultivation and is not familiar with matters of authority. However, you can rest assured that when you inherit the position of Pavilion Master in the future, the internal affairs branch will do our best to assist you. We will not be disloyal."
"Then I thank the two of you for your kindness." Baili Kuangsheng laughed, but it was still a cold smile.
He shifted his gaze away from the two in front of him and said, "It's getting late. If the two of you have nothing else to say, I won't entertain the two of you. Please leave."
With that, Baili Kuangsheng stood up and left the courtyard without looking back.
Seeing this, Qin Qiumo's face revealed a trace of anger. He transmitted his voice to Chang Chixiao, "We've already said so much, but this kid is still so arrogant. If not for his status being on par with Luo Yun, I wouldn't have been so humble!"
"He's just young and impetuous. Don't take it to heart." Chang Chixiao waved his hand, not minding it at all. He replied, "Our ultimate goal is to eliminate Luo Yun. As long as we can achieve our goal, we can endure anything."
"Moreover, after this incident, our relationship with Baili Kuangsheng will become even closer. This will also increase our power and status."
Hearing the last sentence, Qin Qiumo's anger dissipated.
The two of them looked at each other and did not stay for long. Their figures flickered and they left the Swordmaster Peak.
At this moment, their plan was already halfway to success.
What they needed to do now was to build momentum.
