After the great battle, the entire space was in a sorry state. The ground was full of potholes and cracks. The Spiritual Qi in the air had dissipated, and the wind was howling. There were remnants of chaotic auras everywhere.
Although Chu Xingyun and the other two were the final victors, they had also expended a lot of energy. They all sat down cross-legged and quickly adjusted their states to recover their Spiritual Qi.
Today's battle was truly terrifying.
There were many Emperor Artifacts and King Artifacts. The six of them had used their full strength without holding back. No one dared to continue holding back. In such a battle, even a Yin-Yang Realm expert would not dare to take it head-on. They would probably run away.
After all, these six were the strongest geniuses of the Northern Wilderness Region. Although they were only in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, their strength had already reached the Yin-Yang Realm. Coupled with their Emperor Artifacts and King Artifacts, as well as their endless divine abilities, no one dared to underestimate them.
Whoosh!
The three of them exhaled at the same time. When they opened their eyes, rays of light flashed through them. They had finally finished adjusting their auras.
"I thought that we would lose a lot this time. I never thought that we would be the final victors." Su Jingan stood up. His gaze fell on the Space Locking Spiritual Net in the air. He immediately said unwillingly, "It's a pity that Gu Tianjiao took back one of the two Nine-Patterned King Artifacts that were already in our possession. Only this Space Locking Spiritual Net is left."
Even for the Seven Star Valley, a Nine-Patterned King Artifact was a rare treasure. It was only one step away from transforming into an Emperor Artifact. It was a precious item that could stabilize the sect's fate.
Originally, Chu Xingyun had already controlled the Godslayer's Hand and the Space Locking Spiritual Net. However, in the final chaotic battle, Gu Tianjiao had secretly taken back one of them. This made Su Jingan unhappy.
"It's already very good to be able to get one of them. Brother Su, do you really think that I have replaced Gu Tianjiao and completely controlled the Godslayer's Hand and the Space Locking Spiritual Net?" Chu Xingyun walked in front of Su Jingan and smiled faintly. Su Jingan was taken aback by his laughter and his eyes sparkled with confusion.
Chu Xingyun still had a smile on his face as he explained, "Although I am proficient in the Divine Wind Palace's Magic Arts and can condense the God's Mark and control the two items by force, in the end, the Killer God's Hand and the Space-locking Spiritual Net are the most secret treasures of the Divine Wind Palace. As an outsider with a cultivation level of only the fifth level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, how could I control them completely?
"Then what you said before …" Su Jingan's eyes widened when he heard Chu Xingyun's words. He seemed to have noticed something.
"Half of it is true, half of it is false. Otherwise, why would Gu Tianjiao fear us?" Chu Xingyun sneered. He knew Gu Tianjiao very well. This person was extremely shrewd and sinister. Ordinary people were no match for him. However, the more he was like this, the more cautious he was. He would never take risks.
Chu Xingyun had used the Divine Wind Palace's Divine Skills to condense two Divine Spiritual Marks and replaced Gu Tianjiao to forcibly control the Godslayer's Hand and the Space-locking Spiritual Net. This matter was too strange. It completely overturned what Gu Tianjiao had seen and thought.
Therefore, with Gu Tianjiao's temperament, he would definitely not make a move immediately. He would observe carefully and carefully. He would only make a move after he had fully understood the situation.
"No wonder you didn't immediately suppress those three after controlling the Godslayer's Hand and the Space-locking Spiritual Net. It turns out that you can't control these two items for a long time!" Su Jingan recalled what had just happened and immediately understood a lot.
"In terms of overall strength, we are no match for them. There is no doubt about this. That is why I stalled for time and gradually weakened their momentum. Moreover, I made Gu Tianjiao suspicious and not dare to act rashly. The more confident I am, the more he will be cautious. He will also not dare to forcibly take back the Godslayer's Hand and the Space-locking Spiritual Net."
The smile on Chu Xingyun's face deepened. He changed the topic and looked at Baili Kuangsheng. "The best way to stall for time is to exchange pointers. It can wash away the previous humiliation and further suppress the opponent's momentum. It is killing two birds with one stone."
"Then you are not afraid that I will lose to Lin Jingxuan again?" Seeing Chu Xingyun speak, Baili Kuangsheng teased. However, his eyes revealed a serious expression as he stared at Chu Xingyun.
"If I feel that you can win, then you will definitely win. I believe in my own vision, and I believe in your strength even more." Chu Xingyun calmly replied. His words were simple, but they made Baili Kuangsheng's heart tremble slightly. His heart was filled with satisfaction, and his dimples were like spring.
"I am flattered by your words. In the future, I will definitely not betray your trust." Baili Kuangsheng said clearly. His gaze condensed into a sword. These were not casual words. They were very firm.
"Good." Chu Xingyun patted Baili Kuangsheng's shoulder. However, he heard Baili Kuangsheng sigh. "Luo Yun, your entire plan was indeed flawless. It allowed us to turn defeat into victory. However, what surprised me was that at the crucial moment of the battle, Gu Tianjiao was actually so loyal and righteous. He even saved Lin Jingxuan."
After the previous exchange, Su Jingan knew Gu Tianjiao's cunning nature. This person was very shrewd. In order to achieve his goals, he would do anything. He was a sinister and vicious person.
However, in the end, he tried to save Luo Sen. He even took Lin Jingxuan into the Void-Crossing Spirit Vessel and saved him from this place. If not for that, Lin Jingxuan would have undoubtedly died.
"Indeed. With the Void-Crossing Spirit Vessel, it would have been very easy for him to escape." Baili Kuangsheng nodded. He also felt that this was inconceivable.
"This is where Gu Tianjiao's cunning lies. You have all been deceived by him." Chu Xingyun laughed loudly. This caused the two people who were full of sighs to be stunned. They had been deceived by Gu Tianjiao?
"The Void-Crossing Spirit Vessel is a strange object. It can move through the void and escape from a predicament. However, when activating this object, the user must be calm and not be attacked by spiritual energy. Otherwise, they will suffer an extremely serious backlash."
Chu Xingyun emphasized this point. Then, he said, "The final battle was instigated by Gu Tianjiao. His goal was very simple. He wanted to make the situation chaotic and create conditions for him to forcefully take back the Hand of the Slaughter God and the Spatial Locking Spirit Net. Then, he would use the Void-Crossing Spirit Vessel to quietly leave."
"At that time, the balance of the battle would have been broken. It would have been three against two. The final losers would have been Lin Jingxuan and Luo Sen. As a price, our side would have been greatly weakened and would have been in a weakened state. At that time, Gu Tianjiao would have been able to take advantage of the situation and become the final winner!"
Chu Xingyun not only understood Gu Tianjiao's character, he also knew the secrets and treasures of the Divine Firmament Hall like the back of his hand. It was no exaggeration to say that he could see through Gu Tianjiao's thoughts with a single glance.
"That's why you took action at that time and forcefully disrupted Gu Tianjiao's plan!" Su Jingan suddenly understood. As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned and said strangely, "Then why did he change his mind in the end and want to save Lin Jingxuan?"
Gu Tianjiao had already prepared a backup plan. He could have completely abandoned Lin Jingxuan and Luo Sen. However, in the end, he tried to save Luo Sen and take Lin Jingxuan away.
This was not in line with Gu Tianjiao's sinister personality.
"After he left alone, Lin Jingxuan and Luo Sen would have died at our hands. Their treasures would have been ours to use. Of course, that included the Luo Sheng Ancient Blade. With one more Emperor Artifact, our strength would have increased crazily. This would have been a death sentence for him."
Chu Xingyun shrugged and said unconcernedly, "Lin Jingxuan could have died, but he definitely could not have died at our hands. In comparison, Luo Sen's existence was dispensable. He could have been a scapegoat to bear the brunt of the terrifying spiritual energy turbulence and create an opportunity for him to escape."
A scapegoat!
Hearing these three people, Baili Kuangsheng and Su Jingan suddenly held their breaths. They immediately recalled Luo Sen's appearance before he died. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong. Their hearts pounded rapidly.
"What a great plan. Not only could he escape unscathed, but he could also win over allies. Now, I'm afraid that Lin Jingxuan has already completely trusted Gu Tianjiao." Baili Kuangsheng said with lingering fear. If Chu Xingyun had not pointed out the entire situation, he would still have been in the dark and mistakenly believed in Gu Tianjiao's character.
Su Jingan also nodded continuously. But as he nodded, his gaze fell on Chu Xingyun. After muttering to himself for a while, he actually let out a long sigh of relief.
"Although Gu Tianjiao and Lin Jingxuan escaped this time, we still gained a lot. The next time we meet those two, they definitely won't be able to escape from us," Chu Xingyun comforted him. He thought that Su Jingan was still unwilling and was afraid that he would be depressed.
"Swordmaster Luo Yun, you misunderstand."
However, Su Jingan shook his head gently and said with a serious expression, "My master once said that in order to see through a cunning person's schemes, one must be a hundred times, or even a thousand times more perceptive than the cunning person. Only then can one be completely confident."
