What a monster!
The moonlight shone on the silver mask, reflecting a dazzling brilliance. Especially at the left eye of the silver mask, the few cracks were so conspicuous, as if they were silently telling a story of the recent past.
The moment Chu Xingyun saw the silver mask, his gaze suddenly trembled, and he almost blurted out, "You are Liu Xing?"
When they were on their way to Cangtian Valley, Chu Xingyun had saved an itinerant practitioner named Liu Xing.
Immediately after, the Beast Tide broke out, and Yan Hou and Lin Xiong chased after them, forcing Chu Xingyun and the rest into a desperate situation. Fortunately, Liu Xing acted in time and repelled Yan Hou, giving them a chance to breathe.
Unfortunately, Yan Hou and Lin Xiong's cultivation was too high, and even with Liu Xing's help, they could not turn the tide. They were seriously injured and almost died at Yan Hou's hands.
In the end, Chu Xingyun stopped Yan Hou and Lin Xiong, and Liu Xing was forcibly brought back to Tianyang City.
When Chu Xingyun returned to Tianyang City, Liu Xing left silently. He didn't leave behind any words, nor did he leave any traces behind. No one knew where he had gone.
As time passed, this matter was forgotten by everyone, and even Chu Xingyun was no exception.
At this moment, when he saw the silver mask, Liu Xing's eyes that would rather die than leave him appeared in his mind. His breathing became heavy and was filled with disbelief.
However, at this moment, the doubts in Chu Xingyun's heart were completely resolved.
He had always been puzzled as to why Baili Kuangsheng, whom he had never met, would spare no effort to help him, and even set up a scheme to secretly trick Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo.
If Liu Xing was Baili Kuangsheng, everything made sense.
Even though he thought of this, Chu Xingyun still looked at Baili Kuangsheng with shock and a bitter smile.
One was an itinerant practitioner who wandered around freely.
One of them was a monstrous genius whose talent was hard to come by even in a thousand years, whose might shook the 10,000 Swords Pavilion.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Chu Xingyun would not have connected the two of them.
Baili Kuangsheng was very satisfied with Chu Xingyun's shocked expression, and his smile became even gentler, like a spring breeze, sweeping through the forest.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would be shocked to the core.
Baili Kuangsheng, who was usually serious and even cold to others, actually smiled at this moment, and he smiled so casually and gently. This was simply unreasonable!
"Fortunately, you haven't forgotten about me. Otherwise, everything I've done in this period of time would have been meaningless." Baili Kuangsheng teased, indirectly admitting that he was Liu Xing.
"That day, thanks to your timely help, I was able to save everyone. How can I forget your kindness?" Chu Xingyun smiled embarrassedly, but his eyes glanced at the silver mask intentionally or unintentionally.
Baili Kuangsheng was sensitive. At a glance, he saw Chu Xingyun's doubts.
He raised the silver mask and said lightly, "I got this mask from a Secret Realm. As long as I wear this mask, my breath, voice, and even Spiritual Power fluctuations can be concealed. Moreover, when I was in Cangtian Valley, I was poisoned by the Yang-eroding Blood Poison, and my breath was extremely chaotic. As long as I deliberately hide, I am afraid that even Master can't recognize me."
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun suddenly understood.
It was this series of factors that led him to not recognize Baili Kuangsheng.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a light flashed in Chu Xingyun's mind.
He seemed to understand something and said to Baili Kuangsheng, "No wonder you left silently before Sword Master Wu Chen came to Tianyang City. Were you afraid that he would recognize you?"
Chu Xingyun was no stranger to the rumors about Baili Kuangsheng.
It was said that Baili Kuangsheng went out to train all year round. Before he broke through the shackles of the realm, he would never return to the sect and would not contact anyone. He traveled alone, and his temperament was particularly strange.
It could be seen from his reluctance to reveal his identity when he was poisoned by the Yang-eroding Blood Poison and was besieged by countless experts.
At that time, his training had not yet ended, so he naturally did not want Fan Wuchen to recognize him. Otherwise, the shock in Tianyang City would be even more intense and frightening.
"Apart from that, you looked at me in the martial arts arena that day and told me all about my origins, especially everything that happened in Cangtian Valley. You knew it better than anyone else because you were also in Cangtian Valley at that time and experienced it yourself!"
As he spoke, the bitter smile on Chu Xingyun's face grew even more pronounced.
He remembered these two points clearly.
However, these two points were too vague, and the connection between them was even harder to find. If Baili Kuangsheng had not revealed his identity, even someone as wise as Chu Xingyun would not have been able to guess it and would have been kept in the dark.
"The two points you mentioned are indeed true." Baili Kuangsheng also revealed a trace of astonishment at Chu Xingyun's earlier speculation. Helplessly, he said, "Actually, from the very beginning, I wanted to reveal my identity. However, after pondering over it, I still chose to conceal it."
"Oh?" Chu Xingyun was taken aback, but he did not pursue the matter. Instead, he waited for Baili Kuangsheng to continue.
As expected, Baili Kuangsheng paused for a moment before explaining, "That day, you were besieged by a beast tide and attacked by two great experts. There was no news of you at all, which made me think that you had unfortunately died. Even after I left Tianyang City, it was difficult for me to get rid of my hatred."
"Therefore, after leaving Tianyang City, I began to search for the whereabouts of the two sixth layer Heavenly Spirit Layer people. Heaven does not disappoint those who work hard. I obtained information about them in a chaotic area."
"It turns out that the two of them are notorious bounty hunters who specialize in wandering around the border between the empires. Their whereabouts are difficult to find. Furthermore, I discovered that the two of them had once been in contact with Chang Chixiao. This made me vaguely feel that the entire matter was most likely a scheme set up by Chang Chixiao."
When Chu Xingyun heard this, shock immediately gushed out from his heart.
Baili Kuangsheng's mind was very sharp. Not only did he find information about Yan Hou and Lin Xiong through his own investigation, he even deduced that the entire matter was related to Chang Chixiao.
Just based on this point alone, Chu Xingyun immediately understood why Fan Wujie could tolerate Baili Kuangsheng's rude actions in every possible way.
This person was truly monstrous!
No matter if it was his talent or his shrewdness, they all made people feel ashamed of themselves.
"After deducing this point, I was furious and wanted to immediately return to Wanjian Pavilion to tell Master about this matter. However, it was also at that time that I suddenly heard a rumor that you did not die. Instead, you profited from the misfortune and advanced to the second layer Heavenly Spirit Layer!"
At this moment, Baili Kuangsheng's voice caused Chu Xingyun to suddenly return to his senses.
