Leaving Alone
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
On this day, the sun was warm and the main road of Wanjian Pavilion was extremely quiet. There were very few people passing by.
There was no other reason other than the fact that everyone had gathered outside the mountain gate of Wanjian Pavilion, occupying the entire space. Everywhere one looked, there was a dense crowd of people.
Other than the crowd, there were also close to a hundred flying spiritual beasts in the sky.
These flying spiritual beasts were huge and could travel thousands of miles in a day. As they flapped their wings, they created gusts of wind, causing the clothes of the crowd to flutter.
There were still more than ten days before the Six Sects Grand Competition, but according to the rules, those who participated in the Six Sects Grand Competition had to arrive ten days before the competition. Otherwise, they would be disqualified.
To be safe, Fan Wujie decided to depart for the Ancient Star Sect today.
"In the previous Six Sects Grand Competition, Wanjian Pavilion's results were not ideal. I hope there will be a turnaround this time."
"Sword Master Mang Sheng and Sword Master Luo Yun are rare geniuses. If the two of them work together, they will definitely create a miracle. We must have confidence in them."
"After this Six Sects Grand Competition, the two geniuses of the Sword Pavilion will definitely spread throughout the Northern Wilderness Region!"
Outside the mountain gate, there were noisy discussions.
The crowd looked at the flying spiritual beasts in front of them and started to talk about their feelings. Although they could not go to the Ancient Star Sect, it did not affect their anticipation.
The person leading the team this time was Fan Wujie.
Other than him, there were close to a hundred people standing in the sky. Among these hundred people, there were sword masters, elders, deacons, and inner disciples. They were also going to the Ancient Star Sect to watch the Six Sects Grand Competition.
The Six Sects Grand Competition was a grand event that was held once every ten years.
During this period of time, the six great sects would display their tyrannical strength. Naturally, the people they wanted to follow would not be ordinary people. They would have to think carefully before making the decision.
The strength of the entire sect could be reflected from the people who followed them.
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, apart from Sword Master Luo Yun, everyone else is ready."
Said Chang Chixiao at that moment.
He and Qin Qiumo would be participating in the Six Sects Grand Tournament. However, they were only outer sect elders and had no power. They were the most ordinary existences.
Chang Chixiao walked to Fan Wujie's side and spoke with a calm voice. Even when he mentioned Luo Yun's name, there was no change in his tone. He seemed to be numb.
Beside him, Qin Qiumo was the same. He was so calm that it made people shudder.
Baili Kuangsheng scanned the surroundings and did not find any trace of Chu Xingyun, so he said to Fan Wujie, "It's not too late, we can continue to wait."
Fan Wujie didn't say much. He just smiled and nodded.
However, if one were to carefully size up Fan Wujie, there was actually a faint trace of anxiety between his brows. It was just that he hid it very well and no one was able to discover it.
"Master clearly came out of seclusion yesterday. Why is he still nowhere to be seen?" Ning Lefan kept pacing back and forth in the crowd. His eyes were filled with anxiety and urgency as he looked around.
"Master knows what he's doing. We don't have to worry too much," said Lu Qingxuan. Although her tone was calm, there was a trace of anxiety in her voice. She scanned the surroundings from time to time.
Ning Lefan, Lu Qingyao, and the other six were filled with anticipation for the Six Sect Grand Competition this time. However, just last night, Chu Xingyun had ordered that the seven of them were forbidden from heading to the Ancient Star Sect. They had to stay at the Sword Master Peak and cultivate the sword techniques and sword formations.
The seven of them couldn't accept this, but Chu Xingyun was extremely firm. They had no choice but to agree.
Swoosh!
At that moment, a figure flew over from afar. He was like an extreme flowing light that swept past the crowd in an instant and finally landed in front of Fan Wujie.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Chu Xingyun cupped his fists slightly. His voice was loud and clear, spreading to every corner of the void so that everyone could hear him clearly.
When the crowd saw Chu Xingyun appear, the huge rock hanging high in their hearts was finally put down.
Fan Wujie smiled faintly and said, "Since everyone is here, let's set off. These flying spiritual beasts, one for each person. Immediately …"
"Pavilion Master, Luo Yun has a request." Chu Xingyun suddenly spoke and interrupted Fan Wujie. His words immediately attracted everyone's attention, including Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo.
"What is it? Just say it." Fan Wujie was also filled with doubts, but he was extremely shrewd and spoke calmly.
Chu Xingyun pondered for a moment and replied, "I don't want to travel with you on the journey to the Ancient Star Sect. I want to travel alone and use this as an experience to comprehend and break through the shackles of my cultivation."
"You can't do that!"
As soon as he spoke, Yun Changqing immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "The journey to the Ancient Star Sect is long and full of thorns. It is too dangerous to travel alone. If we encounter any mishaps, it will be a huge blow to us and the 10,000 Swords Pavilion."
"Sword Master Changqing is right. There are many ways to break through the shackles of cultivation. Why must Sword Master Luo Yun choose the most dangerous way?" The second person to speak was Fan Wuchen. He also didn't agree with Chu Xingyun's request.
It wasn't just the two of them. Almost everyone in the crowd was unwilling to agree.
One had to know that the Six Sects Tournament this time was of great significance. It would determine the rise and fall of Wanjian Pavilion. If Chu Xingyun had an accident and was absent from the Six Sects Tournament, then Wanjian Pavilion's situation would be extremely difficult.
"I can't agree to this." Fan Wujie also shook his head. He was the Pavilion Master and had to prioritize Wanjian Pavilion.
"Luo Yun has already made up his mind. I hope that the Pavilion Master will agree. As for the Six Sects Tournament, I can guarantee that there won't be any delays. I will definitely be there on time!" Chu Xingyun's voice was filled with determination. His words didn't sound like a negotiation, but rather an explanation. Everyone could feel his determination and couldn't refute.
Fan Wujie stared at Chu Xingyun. His eyes flickered as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
In the end, he nodded and said, "Alright, I agree to your request."
When Yun Changqing heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief. Just as he was about to say something to dissuade him, Fan Wujie pointed his finger. Sharp Sword Qi bloomed and condensed into a small greyish black sword. It was only the size of a finger, but it had a terrifying sharpness.
Whoosh!
The small greyish black sword flashed and arrived in front of Chu Xingyun. It seeped into his right palm and condensed into a small seal.
"This Sword Seal contains a part of my power. As long as you use your mind to activate it, it will erupt with terrifying Sword Qi. If it completely hits the opponent, the explosive power can easily kill a Yin Yang Fifth Stage expert. However, it can only be used once. After that, the Sword Seal will automatically disappear."
Fan Wujie said to Chu Xingyun, "You will inevitably encounter danger when you go out to train. This Sword Seal can save you once. However, after using it, you must immediately head to the Ancient Star Sect."
The power of the Sword Seal could kill people in the fifth stage of the Yin Yang Realm. Unless a Nirvana Realm warrior appeared, Chu Xingyun could use it to escape safely and save his life.
After using it once, the Sword Seal would no longer exist. At that time, Chu Xingyun would have to head to the Ancient Star Sect.
This was already Fan Wujie's biggest concession.
Seeing Fan Wujie give in, Yun Changqing didn't dare to say anything. On the contrary, Baili Kuangsheng was somewhat worried. He said, "Master, I have been training outside for many years and have a lot of experience. Why don't I travel with Sword Master Luo Yun? We can take care of each other."
"I appreciate Sword Master Mang Sheng's good intentions." Chu Xingyun declined Baili Kuangsheng's good intentions and replied, "I have decided to go out to train in order to break through the shackles of my cultivation. If I travel with you, I'm afraid it won't be effective."
"I have already left a Sword Seal. As long as you are careful, you shouldn't encounter any danger. For this trip, let Luo Yun go alone." Fan Wujie also rejected Baili Kuangsheng's suggestion. He could reluctantly allow Luo Yun to travel alone, but he wouldn't allow both of them to leave the group.
Seeing this, Baili Kuangsheng could only nod and agree.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master!" Chu Xingyun cupped his hands towards Fan Wujie to express his gratitude. Then, he stepped onto a flying spirit beast and rushed off in a certain direction.
After a while, the flying spirit beast disappeared, and not a single trace of it could be seen.
Looking in the direction Chu Xingyun left, Fan Wuchen's eyes flickered. He secretly transmitted to Fan Wujie, "Luo Yun's safety is very important to Wanjian Pavilion. Do you need me to …"
"There's no need." Fan Wujie interrupted, "Luo Yun is not only talented and intelligent, but also has many tricks up his sleeve. If you secretly follow him, you will definitely be discovered. Since he wants to avoid us, let's just follow him."
"As for his whereabouts and safety, I know what to do. You don't need to worry."
Fan Wujie's voice was full of confidence.
After saying this, he looked at the crowd and stepped onto the back of a flying spirit beast. Then, he waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go!"
After he said this, the flying spirit beasts took to the sky.
Everyone who was going to the Ancient Star Sect set off together. In an instant, the entire sky was filled with spirit beasts. They covered the sky and the sun as they left.
The crowd raised their heads and looked at the departing flying spirit beasts with envy in their eyes. They also wanted to be one of them and watch the Six Sect Tournament with their own eyes.
Just as the crowd was sighing with emotion, a ripple suddenly spread out in the sky.
This ripple seemed to be a human figure that appeared without any warning. Then, it rapidly flew in the direction of the 10,000 Swords Pavilion until it entered the interior.
