Six Sect Grand Competition
The three of them quickly arrived at the Ten Thousand Sword Hall.
In contrast to the hustle and bustle of the Ten Thousand Swords Peak, the Ten Thousand Sword Hall was exceptionally quiet.
The night was dark, and moonlight poured down like water, enveloping this peculiar sword-shaped pavilion. The reflected moonlight was like a cold sword glow, silently protecting the entire Wanjian Pavilion.
Chu Xingyun swept his gaze across the Ten Thousand Sword Hall. There was not a single person in sight. Even Fan Wujie's grey-clothed guards were not present. There were only the three of them in this vast space.
Chu Xingyun secretly made a mental note of this, but on the surface, he still appeared particularly magnanimous as he closely followed Fan Wujie's footsteps into the depths of the Ten Thousand Sword Hall.
"Tonight's events have truly exceeded my expectations." Fan Wujie sat down, his eyes sweeping across Chu Xingyun and Baili Kuangsheng. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke.
His voice contained a sigh, a hint of anger, but most of it was gratification.
He continued, "The three main factions each have their own secrets. I have never placed too much restrictions on this, as I feel that it is not a big deal. Who knew that the internal affairs faction's methods would be so overbearing. If not for Kuang Sheng's revelation, I'm afraid that I would still be in the dark."
"Master's words are too serious." Baili Kuangsheng's expression was indifferent, and when he replied, he was also emotionless.
Fan Wujie sighed, his gaze landing on Chu Xingyun. "I've already punished Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. I believe that the remaining accomplices will be caught very soon. After this matter, you need not worry about being schemed against again."
Before they left, Brahma Wujie's words had shaken everyone to their core.
Anyone with eyes could deeply understand that Fan Wujie wanted to nurture Chu Xingyun with all his might. If anyone dared to scheme against Chu Xingyun or harm him, their outcome would be incomparably tragic.
As the number one expert of Wanjian Pavilion and a Nirvana stage expert, no one could withstand Fan Wujie's fury!
"Thank you pavilion master. At the same time, thank you Sword Master Kuangsheng." Chu Xingyun smiled faintly and cupped his fists together. When he looked towards Baili Kuangsheng, he discovered that a gentle light suddenly flashed across Baili Kuangsheng's eyes.
This light was not cold nor indifferent. Instead, it revealed a sense of intimacy, causing Chu Xingyun's gaze to freeze. When he looked carefully again, he discovered that Baili Kuangsheng had already returned to his original state and was looking ahead emotionlessly.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. The main reason I brought you here today is for the Six Sect Grand Competition." Fan Wujie spoke again. His words immediately brought Chu Xingyun back to reality.
"In the Northern Wilderness Region, there are a total of Six Sects. These Six Sects each occupy a region and have been passed down for thousands of years. Since there are Sects existing at the same time, there will naturally be disputes."
"In order to establish a ranking, the Six Sects have decided that every ten years, they will send out two disciples to spar with the disciples of the other Sects. The final ranking will determine the status of the Six Sects."
"Two months later, the Six Sect Grand Competition will be held. This time, the competition will be held at the Ancient Star Sect. After careful consideration, I have decided to send the two of you."
Fan Wujie's voice was deep as he smiled at the two of them as he spoke.
The Six Sect Grand Competition had an extraordinary meaning. It would determine the ranking of the Six Sects. The higher the ranking, the more resources and prestige one would receive. It was immeasurably important to the development of the Sects.
However, there were many restrictions in the Six Sect Grand Competition.
Firstly, each Sect could only send two disciples to participate.
Secondly, the disciples participating in the Six Sect Grand Competition could not be older than 20 years old.
In the Qiongji Wanjian Pavilion, there were not many disciples who fulfilled these two conditions. There were even fewer who could convince the masses. After careful consideration, only Baili Kuangsheng and Luo Yun could be chosen.
Originally, Fan Wujie had already decided on the candidates, but he did not want to announce it too early.
In his eyes, Baili Kuangsheng was the best candidate. However, Baili Kuangsheng had an eccentric temperament that made it hard for others to get close to him. If Baili Kuangsheng had a grudge with Luo Yun, it would affect the results of the Six Sects Grand Competition.
This was clearly unwise.
Therefore, he wanted to use the Battle of the Pinnacle to observe the relationship between the two of them. He wanted to add fuel to the fire so that the two of them could acknowledge each other and fight for a ranking for the Wanjian Pavilion.
Who would have thought that the Battle of the Pinnacle was actually a scheme set up by Baili Kuangsheng? The goal was to help Chu Xingyun get rid of his dissidents so that he would not be schemed against by the Internal Affairs Faction.
Seeing this, the worry in Fan Wujie's heart completely disappeared. He immediately brought the two of them to the Myriad Sword Palace and explained the Six Sect Grand Competition.
After hearing the news, Baili Kuangsheng's expression did not change. Instead, he asked, "I am a disciple of the Wanjian Pavilion. It is my duty to bring glory to the Wanjian Pavilion. May I ask Master, where is the Ancient Star Sect in the Six Sect Grand Competition?"
"According to what I know, it should be the Ancient Star Secret Realm." Fan Wujie thought for a moment and slowly replied.
"Hmm?"
The last four words stunned Baili Kuangsheng. Obviously, he did not know about this place.
As for Chu Xingyun, he did not speak and listened quietly.
Fan Wujie explained, "Half a year ago, a Secret Realm suddenly appeared in the Ancient Star Sect. Not only is this Secret Realm a world of its own, there are ruins and relics in it. It has a rich heritage. The Ancient Star Sect has sent people to explore it many times, but they found out that people over the age of 20 are unable to enter this Secret Realm."
"In the face of such a Secret Realm, the Ancient Star Sect repeatedly tested it, but the results were not satisfactory. Therefore, they decided to use this Secret Realm as the venue for the Six Sect Grand Competition to explore the mysteries within."
"This Secret Realm is the Ancient Star Secret Realm."
At this point, Baili Kuangsheng understood. It turned out that this Secret Realm had only appeared half a year ago. No wonder he did not know anything about it.
"An unknown Secret Realm directly used as the venue for the Six Sect Grand Competition. There must be something fishy about this." Chu Xingyun spoke casually, but his mind was highly focused as he observed Fan Wujie's every word and action.
"The appearance of the Ancient Star Secret Realm in the Ancient Star Sect is most likely related to the Ancient Star Sect. Naturally, there is something fishy about it. However, when the Six Sect Grand Competition starts, I will also be present. The Ancient Star Sect will not secretly take action. As for the danger in the Secret Realm, it is unavoidable." Fan Wujie's voice was filled with helplessness.
No Grand Competition would be completely fair. It would more or less be biased towards the organizer.
The Ancient Star Secret Realm had only appeared half a year ago and there were many restrictions. Even the Ancient Star Sect would find it difficult to secretly set up a Secret Realm. To the other forces, this was quite rare.
After all, in the previous Six Sect Grand Competition, the other forces had also secretly planned it.
"In the previous few Six Sect Grand Competitions, Wanjian Pavilion's results were at the bottom. If we are unable to rise up this time, the sect's situation will be even more difficult. Therefore, the two of you must do your best to cooperate and bring glory to Wanjian Pavilion!"
The helplessness on Fan Wujie's face disappeared. When he said these words, other than encouragement and expectation, there was also a hint of command hidden in his voice.
This was hidden extremely well, but when it fell into Chu Xingyun's ears, it was obvious.
