That Lord
The Thousand Sun Carefree Cauldron was a Six Vein King Artifact. It contained the Fire of the Sun. After being activated by the Spirit Crystal of Heaven and Earth, the Fire of the Sun was pushed to the extreme.
However, the Void Yang Spiritual Flower and the Void Yin Mysterious Grass were not ordinary items. After being nourished for a thousand years, their medicinal efficacy had increased by more than ten times. They were not inferior to Level Nine Spiritual Materials.
Faced with the burning of the Fire of the Sun, the two Spiritual Materials did not change their forms. Even the thin veins on their leaves did not change at all. The effect was minimal.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun was not anxious. He sat cross-legged on the spot and closed his eyes to wait.
Time passed slowly. Finally, under the burning of the Fire of the Sun, the Void Yang Spiritual Flower and the Void Yin Mysterious Grass changed. The branches and leaves cracked, and a faint five-colored light slowly spread out from the cracks.
At this moment, Chu Xingyun's closed eyes suddenly opened. His gaze was like lightning as he looked deeply into the void.
After a while, he stood up.
The calm pool of blood by his side suddenly started to roil, and then an enormous and hazy Phoenix image appeared in space. As it let out a long cry, it sprayed out large expanses of Void Karmic Flames.
The Void Fire was as dense as a rain of fire and poured into the Thousand Sun Carefree Cauldron.
The Fire of the Grand Sun and the Void Fire. These two completely different flames merged together, causing the Void Yang Spiritual Flower and the Void Yin Mysterious Grass to tremble violently. The speed at which the five-colored light spread increased by ten times, or even a hundred times.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun let out a long sigh of relief. A trace of paleness appeared on his handsome face. "It's done. Now, all I need to do is wait quietly."
As he had seen earlier, it was difficult to refine the essence of the two Spiritual Materials just by relying on the Fire of the Sun in the Thousand Sun Carefree Cauldron.
Therefore, Chu Xingyun had to use the Void Fire.
Although he possessed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Crystal, which could provide him with an endless supply of Heaven and Earth Energy, this step was still not easy. Fortunately, Chu Xingyun was a Tier 8 Alchemist. If it were anyone else, they would have already suffered a terrible backlash.
After consuming a recovery type medicinal pill, Chu Xingyun's complexion eased up a little. After recuperating for a moment, he sat down cross-legged again and continued to refine the essence of the spirit materials.
It was already late at night.
Under the cover of the dark night, the entire Wanjian Pavilion had long since dispersed the hustle and bustle of the day, revealing a tranquil atmosphere everywhere.
Outer Sect, in a courtyard.
After being stripped of their positions as Sword Master, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo naturally could not continue to live in the Sword Master Peak. This was their new residence.
At this time, the two of them were still awake and were sitting in the hall.
In addition to them, there was also a middle-aged man in black in the hall. He was kneeling on one knee with his back bent. However, he kept spitting out words, which made Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo's expressions turn uglier.
"This is outrageous!"
Suddenly, a furious roar came out of Chang Chixiao's mouth. His whole body was filled with anger. He suddenly swung his hand and smashed the mahogany table into fine powder, which floated everywhere in the air.
"It has been a few days since the peak battle, but the Law Enforcement Faction still hasn't relented. They are still arresting the spies that I planted. It seems that they want to make an example out of me to frighten the other Sword Masters."
Chang Chixiao clenched his fists and said hatefully, "If this continues, the force that I have painstakingly built up will no longer exist. Even if I can be reinstated in the future, it will take a long time for me to return to the peak."
This man in black was Chang Chixiao's confidant, who was specially trained to collect information for him.
Originally, Chang Chixiao had thought that since he had been demoted to an outer sect elder, the incident that had happened last time would gradually come to an end. However, the truth was not so.
In the past few days, Lu Xing led the Law Enforcement Faction to investigate the incident that had happened that day. Anyone who had participated in the incident, regardless of status or power, was arrested and sent back to the Law Enforcement Hall.
In the process, Lu Xing did not show mercy to anyone who tried to escape. He directly killed them on the spot.
Under such a situation, the spies that Chang Chixiao had trained had countless casualties. The members of the two factions were also heavily implicated. Some escaped, and some died. There was no chance of survival.
"You can leave." Qin Qiumo waved his hand and let the middle-aged man leave.
He turned his head to look at Chang Chixiao, and let out a sigh as well. He said, "The two of us are on the decline, and the forces we secretly nurtured are gradually disintegrating. Even the Sword Master of our faction is avoiding us …"
The Internal Affairs Faction had a total of seven Sword Masters. However, these seven Sword Masters were not completely united.
Originally, many Sword Masters were willing to help under the two's contact. However, after what had happened today, these Sword Masters immediately withdrew their help and chose to ignore the two of them.
Even Qi Yangchen was the same. After the peak battle, he had not appeared in front of Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. He did not even greet them politely.
"It seems that we have already lost. We have completely lost to Luo Yun." Qin Qiumo sighed again. There was a trace of compromise in his voice. He kept shaking his head.
"Shut up!"
Chang Chixiao suddenly shouted. His red eyes widened as he roared angrily, "The more the situation is like this, the more we cannot admit defeat. As long as we are still breathing, we still have hope!"
"Hope?"
Hearing this word, Qin Qiumo smiled sadly.
When they were at their peak, the two of them had framed Chu Xingyun many times. They wanted to kill Chu Xingyun. However, in the end, Chu Xingyun was able to turn the misfortune into a blessing. The ones who suffered losses were them.
Now, Chu Xingyun was going to participate in the Six Sect Grand Competition. His status was extremely high. On the other hand, the two of them were no longer Sword Masters. They were just ordinary Outer House Elders. The forces that they had painstakingly cultivated no longer existed. Moreover, no one was willing to help them.
In Qin Qiumo's eyes, the word hope was too ethereal. It could be said that it was an extravagant hope!
"Let's give up. We have searched the entire Wanjian Pavilion. No one can help us. Instead of continuing to fight, it is better to compromise silently. At least we can save our lives." Qin Qiumo was already disheartened.
As he said this, he walked out of the hall. The cold moonlight shone on his body. It seemed that he had aged more than ten years in an instant. His back also became a little hunched.
Just as he was about to step out of the courtyard, Chang Chixiao's voice came with a trace of coldness, "Since no one in the Wanjian Pavilion can help us, we can only find another way and seek help from that lord."
That lord?!
Hearing this, Qin Qiumo suddenly stopped in his tracks.
From Chang Chixiao's words, he seemed to have understood something. He stared at Chang Chixiao and said in a frightened voice, "This is not a good thing. If the Pavilion Master knows about this, you and I will die without a doubt."
"If we let Luo Yun continue to gain power, our end will be worse than death!" Chang Chixiao immediately replied. His words made Qin Qiumo speechless. His face kept twitching.
Indeed, with the grudge between them and Chu Xingyun, Chu Xingyun would definitely not let them go.
The reason why he didn't make a move now was because he was worried.
In the future, when Chu Xingyun grew stronger, he would definitely take their lives with his own hands.
There was no doubt about this.
"If we give it our all, we will still have a chance to live. If we sit and wait, we will definitely die!" Chang Chixiao's eyes were red. There was a trace of madness in them.
Seeing Chang Chixiao like this, Qin Qiumo was gradually infected. In the end, the compromise in his eyes disappeared. It was replaced by a trace of madness and extreme viciousness.
