Protecting the Calf
Seeing Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo kneeling on the ground, the hearts of the crowd couldn't help but tremble.
They knew that this time, Fan Wujie was truly enraged.
In order to murder Chu Xingyun, Chang Chixiao had not only abused his power many times, but he had also repeatedly violated the rules of the sect. As the Pavilion Master of Wanjian Pavilion, how could Fan Wujie tolerate such a thing?
Under the pressure of the terrifying Heaven and Earth Energy, Chang Chixiao found it hard to breathe. He gritted his teeth and cried out, "Pavilion Master, this matter is indeed my fault, but I did all this for the peace of Wanjian Pavilion. This Luo Yun is not only cunning, but also disloyal. If he stays in Wanjian Pavilion, he will bring about an irreversible disaster!"
"Ever since Luo Yun appeared, there has been no peace in Wanjian Pavilion. In less than a year, more than three thousand people have died in the outer sanctum, and the inner sanctum is in complete chaos. Even some outstanding disciples have died mysteriously. All of this is definitely related to Luo Yun."
Qin Qiumo also raised his head and cried out loudly, "Pavilion Master, please be wise and kill Luo Yun on the spot. Only then can Wanjian Pavilion regain its peace!"
The voices of the two immediately caused Chu Xingyun's gaze to darken.
These two people, even in such a situation, still wanted to play the blame game. They didn't even hesitate to use the peace of Wanjian Pavilion as an excuse to shake Fan Wujie's judgment and put Chu Xingyun to death.
From this, it could be seen that they already hated Chu Xingyun to the bone!
Chu Xingyun took a step forward. Just as he was about to speak, Baili Kuangsheng spoke first, "The two of you keep saying that Sword Master Luo Yun will bring disaster to Wanjian Pavilion. You even said that the deaths of some outstanding disciples are related to him. Do you have any evidence for such claims?"
"Luo Yun is a very cunning person. Everything he does, he leaves no traces behind. But if we connect all these things together, it's not hard to see that Luo Yun is involved." Chang Chixiao glared angrily at Baili Kuangsheng. From the moment Baili Kuangsheng took out the Photographic Jade, he had already viewed the latter as an enemy.
"So, you have no evidence. Am I right?"
Baili Kuangsheng retorted with a sneer. He looked down coldly at the two people in front of him and shouted, "You have no evidence, but you dare to slander others. You even used the peace of Wanjian Pavilion as an excuse to confuse Master's judgment!"
Hearing Baili Kuangsheng's words, Chang Chixiao's expression changed. Before he could say anything, Baili Kuangsheng shouted again, "As far as I know, the reason why you are taking revenge on Sword Master Luo Yun so crazily is because he has disrupted your plans time and time again. It's not because of the peace of Wanjian Pavilion."
"The two of you are the Sword Masters and are in charge of the internal affairs, as well as all the matters of the 10,000 Swords Pavilion. However, you used the reason of maintaining the peace of the 10,000 Swords Pavilion to avenge private wrongs and assassinate people in secret. It's no wonder that the two of you are so powerful and can stir up the Eighteen Dynasties in just half a day to set up such a scheme."
"If you want to talk about the real black sheep, the two of you are definitely worthy of the title!"
The last sentence was like a clap of thunder. It made Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo's minds go blank. The pressure of the Heaven and Earth on them suddenly increased by several times. The two of them could not raise their heads.
Yun Changqing, Lei Yuanguang, and the others all looked at each other.
The situation had changed too quickly. It was so fast that they did not have time to react. Furthermore, they could vaguely sense that Baili Kuangsheng was helping Chu Xingyun without any reason.
Chu Xingyun also sensed this. He was filled with doubt.
"I am very disappointed in your actions." Fan Wujie, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo's hearts sank to the bottom. Their bodies began to tremble, and even their Spiritual Seas were trembling with fear.
"I can see your hatred for Luo Yun. That day in Tianyang City, I warned the two of you. But in the end, not only did the two of you not listen, you even went from bad to worse and set up such a vicious scheme. Do you think that I, the Pavilion Master, am so weak that I can casually lie to you?" Fan Wujie shouted coldly. The entire world shook violently. The strength of a Nirvana Realm expert was indeed tyrannical. He could already affect the operation of the Heaven and Earth at will.
"The two of us know our mistakes. Please forgive us, Pavilion Master!" Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo shouted at the same time. They knew that they had already lost this battle. They had lost completely.
"The two of you abused your power, ignored the sect rules, and attempted to murder the Sword Master. You actually want me to forgive you?"
Fan Wujie was so angry that he laughed. There was no longer any pity in his eyes as he looked at Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. He shouted, "If I forgive the two of you today, the laws of Wanjian Pavilion will be useless. In the near future, there will definitely be people who will use this as an excuse to beg for my forgiveness. As the Pavilion Master of Wanjian Pavilion, I will not allow this to happen."
With a wave of his hand, the Sword Master Tokens on Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo's waists suddenly broke free and landed in Fan Wujie's hands.
"Today, the evidence of Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo's crimes is conclusive. In the name of the Pavilion Master, I hereby strip the two of their positions as Sword Masters and demote them to outer sect elders!"
Following Fan Wujie's words, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo's eyes became hollow. From now on, they were no longer the high and mighty Sword Masters. All power and authority no longer belonged to them!
"Lu Xing!" Fan Wujie shouted again.
Lu Xing quickly walked out from the crowd and said respectfully, "Lu Xing is here. Pavilion Master, please give me your orders."
"What happened today has a huge impact. Although Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo have already been punished, the accomplices have yet to be brought to justice. Therefore, I order you to investigate this matter thoroughly. If there are any participants, arrest them and bring them to justice. If anyone dares to resist, kill them without mercy!"
The crowd could feel the determination in Fan Wujie's voice.
One had to know that Lu Xing was Fan Wuchen's disciple, and he understood the essence of the law enforcement lineage.
He was an impartial person. Even in the face of a Sword Master's power, he was not the least bit afraid. More importantly, he did not avoid killing. Anyone who disobeyed him would not be merciful.
The Blood Curse Sword was the best proof.
If one was not a bloodthirsty person, they would not have been able to subdue the Blood Curse Sword.
"Lu Xing, listen to my orders!" Lu Xing nodded heavily.
His gaze swept across the crowd. All the cultivators who met his gaze could not help but shiver. Some of the more timid ones even felt their legs go weak and they could not get up.
After venting his anger, Fan Wujie's anger gradually dissipated. However, the coldness in his eyes was still strong.
He looked at the crowd and opened his mouth slightly. He said indifferently, "I do not want to see what happened today ever again. I do not want to see anyone targeting Luo Yun. He is the pillar of the Wanjian Pavilion. I cannot let anything happen to him. If there is anyone who disobeys me, regardless of their identity or status, I will not let them off easily."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hearts of the crowd trembled again.
If Fan Wujie's attitude towards Chu Xingyun before today was biased, then at this moment, Fan Wujie was protecting Chu Xingyun. He would protect him at all costs and not let him come to any harm.
Hearing this, the last glimmer of hope in Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo's hearts was completely extinguished. Not only had they lost this battle, they would never be able to make a comeback.
Not only the two of them, but the other five Sword Masters of the Internal Affairs Faction also felt their hearts beat wildly.
In just a moment, their gazes towards Chu Xingyun were filled with flattery. Even Qi Yangchen, who hated Chu Xingyun the most, forced a smile.
Some people were sad, while others were happy.
The four Sword Masters of the Technique Imparting Faction, Ning Lefan, Lu Ling, and the others, were all overflowing with joy. The heavy burden in their hearts had been completely lifted. They no longer had any worries.
With Fan Wujie's words, no one in the entire Wanjian Pavilion would dare to plot against Chu Xingyun. Otherwise, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo would be the best examples!
"Luo Yun thanks the Pavilion Master." Although there were many doubts in his heart, Chu Xingyun did not ask. Instead, he walked in front of Fan Wujie and bowed in thanks.
The higher his position was, the more power he had.
This was undoubtedly great news for him.
"You deserve it." Fan Wujie let out a long sigh of relief. His gaze shifted slightly as he said to the crowd, "This matter ends here. Disperse. Don't stay here."
Then, he looked at Chu Xingyun and Baili Kuangsheng. His voice became warm again as he said, "As for the two of you, don't leave for now. I have some important matters to discuss with you."
