Present Plot
In the Nirvana Realm, each stage was a Lightning Tribulation.
At this level, the difference in strength between each stage was enormous. Unless one was a monstrous genius, it was impossible to surpass the level and defeat the enemy.
Fan Wujie was a third tribulation Nirvana Realm cultivator. In the Northern Wilderness Region, he was already considered to be at the peak. However, this stooped old man in front of him was actually a sixth tribulation Nirvana Realm cultivator.
In an instant, countless thoughts appeared in Fan Wujie's mind. He did not understand why such an expert would appear in Saint Star City and even want to kill him.
"Could it be that this person is a helper that Luo Yun invited?"
As soon as this thought appeared, Fan Wujie shook his head and rejected it.
Firstly, Chu Xingyun was extremely shrewd and his methods were unfathomable. However, in the end, he was only a youth. No matter how smart he was, he could not have imagined that Fan Wujie would secretly kill him on the day he became the champion.
Secondly, a sixth tribulation Nirvana Realm expert was already a peak expert in the Northern Wilderness Region. He could establish his own sect and pass it down for a thousand years. What ability did Chu Xingyun have to know such an expert and obtain his help?
After pondering for a while, Fan Wujie was still confused. He slowly raised his head. His face no longer had the fierceness and malevolence from before. Instead, it was filled with a fawning expression as he said, "Senior, you and I have never met before and have never interacted. However, you suddenly attacked me. Is there some misunderstanding here?"
"Only after meeting and having interacted can one attack and kill?" The black-robed old man retorted with a sneer, causing Fan Wujie's expression to freeze. What did the other party mean by that? Killing people for no reason?
Seeing Fan Wujie's embarrassed expression, the black-robed old man snickered inwardly. His face was still full of mockery as he laughed and said, "I was originally a rogue cultivator. In order to pursue the martial path, I traveled through the True Spirit Continent. Yesterday, I happened to pass by the Wanjian Pavilion and saw that the peaks of the Wanjian Pavilion had collapsed, the spirit veins had collapsed, and the entire sect was in chaos."
"At that time, I was very curious as to why the Wanjian Pavilion, which was known as one of the six major forces in the Northern Wilderness Region, would become so weak. Therefore, I came to the Saint Star City to meet you, the Pavilion Master of the Wanjian Pavilion. In the end, it was just as I expected. You are too weak. No wonder your sect is so weak."
Thump!
The black-clothed old man's mocking words caused Fan Wujie's mind to fiercely tremble. He stood there lifelessly like a wooden chicken.
These words did not arouse his anger. What he truly cared about was the first half of the black-clothed old man's words. Yesterday, the peaks of the Wanjian Pavilion had collapsed, the spirit veins had collapsed, and the entire sect was in chaos!
"Senior, what you said just now, was it true?" Fan Wujie did not have his usual calmness as he asked the black-clothed old man with a panicked tone. Even his breathing had become unbearably hurried.
"I am a dignified sixth tribulation Nirvana expert. Why would I lie to you?" The black-clothed old man's gaze turned gloomy and cold as he said coldly, "Originally, I did not want to kill you. However, your overbearing words from before have already angered me. Therefore, you can die."
Boom!
Lightning shot into the sky from the black-clothed old man's entire body and swept through the heavens and the earth. Numerous ancient lightning seals appeared on his body. The sound of thunder shook the heavens and his might became even more terrifying as he directly blasted towards Fan Wujie's body.
The violent and overbearing lightning flashed over, causing Fan Wujie's face to become pale like paper. He gritted his teeth as a tiny sword seal appeared in his palm. The sword seal shattered and a resplendent sword light that emitted an ancient aura erupted and enveloped his body within it.
Rumbling sounds of thunder erupted as the lightning seal bloomed, causing the entire heavens and the earth to tremble violently. However, Fan Wujie's body transformed into a wisp of flowing light that flashed through the gaps of the surging lightning seal, barely dodging it.
The black-clothed old man was stunned for a moment before he immediately raised his hand and blasted out furiously. The enormous lightning hawk image pounced out, but before it could come into contact with Fan Wujie's body, the resplendent sword light flashed once again and fled at an extremely terrifying speed, disappearing into the end of the night.
"That guy is pretty fast at running away." The black-clothed old man did not continue to attack, nor did he have any intention of chasing after him. He only stared deeply at the direction Fan Wujie had fled in. After confirming that he had left Sacred Star City, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard in front.
When he arrived at the courtyard, the tightly shut door had already opened.
Chu Xingyun had already finished his meditation, and was sitting upright in the pavilion. On the stone table, fragrant tea was gently swirling, and steam was rising from it. It overflowed with a serene and refreshing tea fragrance, and the scene was extremely pleasant and content.
"How was my acting just now?" The black-clothed old man strode towards Chu Xingyun. He did not stand on ceremony as he raised his teacup and gently took a sip. His face was brimming with a thick smile.
At this moment, the black-clothed old man no longer had his previous sharp demeanor, nor did he possess the tyrannical feeling of controlling lightning and disregarding life and death. Instead, he seemed like a naughty child with a rather strange appearance.
"I can only say that it's so-so. If Fan Wujie had not heard the news of the Wanjian Pavilion and panicked, with his shrewdness, he might have been able to see some clues." Chu Xingyun put down his teacup and thought for a while before speaking seriously.
As it turned out, Chu Xingyun had already guessed that Fan Wujie would not be able to hold back his killing intent and would take advantage of the night to make a move against him. As a result, he had contacted Lin Tianchong a few days ago and had the latter lay in ambush here.
As for Lin Tianchong's words and actions earlier, they were also one of Chu Xingyun's arrangements. Everything that happened tonight was within Chu Xingyun's control.
"What a boring fellow!" Lin Tianchong glanced at Chu Xingyun. After sitting down, he said with some displeasure, "Fan Wujie's cultivation is only at the third tribulation of Nirvana. Since you have enmity with him, you might as well directly kill him. Why use me to purposely reveal the situation of the Wanjian Pavilion and lure him away from Saint Star City?"
"In my plan, Fan Wujie is an extremely crucial chess piece. Letting him leave Saint Star City is to make it easier for me to set up my plans. No matter what, he is still the master of a pavilion. I have to be wary of his shrewdness."
Chu Xingyun shrugged and continued, "Moreover, even if I wanted to kill him, it would not be easy. He has controlled the Wanjian Pavilion for many years and has an extremely deep foundation. If he insists on escaping, I'm afraid that even you, senior Lin, would find it very difficult to completely kill him."
"Can't you speak properly?" Lin Tianchong rolled his eyes at Chu Xingyun again. However, Chu Xingyun's words were also the truth. It might not be difficult to defeat a Nirvana stage expert, but to completely kill him was a difficult matter.
This was Saint Star City. There were many masters of various forces and countless experts. Once a disturbance was caused, even Lin Tianchong would find it difficult to escape unscathed. It might even implicate Chu Xingyun.
Seeing the displeasure on Lin Tianchong's face, Chu Xingyun secretly chuckled. He changed the topic and asked, "Let's put this matter aside for the time being. How are the others? Are they in trouble?"
"The situation is good. Everything is going according to plan." Lin Tianchong raised his eyebrows and giggled. "Last night, your parents had already reunited. When the two of them met, that little girl, Luo Lan, even cried. Fortunately, that fellow, Tiger Chu, wasn't present. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to avoid his snot and tears."
Chu Xingyun could imagine that scene. A cheerful smile appeared on his face again. He reminded Lin Tianchong, "Although no one has stepped into the Meteorite Abyss, for safety's sake, you still have to be careful. Everything is based on the plan."
"Okay." Lin Tianchong no longer laughed and nodded seriously. He finished the tea in his cup and turned around. Just as he was about to leave, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
"What's the matter?" Chu Xingyun asked aloud.
Lin Tianchong glanced at Chu Xingyun. Then, his eyes darkened and he said in a serious tone, "With your current strength, you are still unable to fully control that power. When you take action in the future, you must be careful."
Chu Xingyun's eyes narrowed. In the end, he nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Senior Lin. I will remember it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lightning disappeared in a flash. Lin Tianchong's figure also instantly disappeared from the courtyard without a trace.
Chu Xingyun stepped forward and walked to the center of the courtyard.
