Chang Chixiao's Panic
As they still had to discuss the distribution of resources, many cultivators gathered in Saint Star City. The scene was bustling with noise and excitement. Most of them were talking about the ranking competition yesterday.
As for the fierce battle last night, Chu Xingyun had already set up a Shielding Spiritual Array in advance to block out all the commotion. Therefore, no one knew that Fan Wujie had already left Saint Star City.
In the city, Wanjian Pavilion's encampment.
The blazing sun hung high in the sky as rays of morning light sprinkled down and landed on the faces of the members of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion. All of them had dimples on their faces and thick expressions of pride.
Yesterday, Chu Xingyun represented Wanjian Pavilion and successfully won the Six Sect Grand Tournament. From today onwards, Wanjian Pavilion would be the leader of the Six Sect Grand Tournament for the next ten years.
Such an honor was so precious that it was enough to make anyone feel proud.
At this moment, a group of Sword Masters and Elders had already gathered in the encampment hall. They sat upright and chatted with each other. Laughter could be heard from time to time. The scene was very harmonious.
Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo were the same. However, the smiles on their faces were slightly sinister and made people feel uncomfortable.
"Why isn't the Pavilion Master here yet?" Yun Changqing suddenly asked.
From today onwards, all the major forces would have to discuss the allocation of resources. Before that, all the major forces had to plan carefully, and there was no room for carelessness. As the Pavilion Master, Fan Wu Jie naturally had to do it himself.
However, after waiting for a long time, Fan Wujie was still nowhere to be seen. This made Yun Changqing feel puzzled.
"It's still early. Let's wait a little longer." An Elder had just opened his mouth when suddenly, a bright sword light flashed from afar. Just as it was about to enter the hall, the sword light dissipated and revealed a handsome young man in black.
This young man was Chu Xingyun.
"Sword Master Luo Yun!" Upon seeing Chu Xingyun, everyone stood up and bowed. Their gazes towards Chu Xingyun were filled with friendliness and respect.
Chu Xingyun became famous in one battle and won the championship for Wanjian Pavilion. It was no exaggeration to say that all the glory that Wanjian Pavilion had at the moment was won by Chu Xingyun. The crowd naturally respected him.
"Those who are about to die can only live freely now." Chang Chixiao didn't get up. He glanced coldly at Chu Xingyun before immediately looking away. He thought to himself in disdain.
Qin Qiumo was the same.
He didn't even look at Chu Xingyun. He sat on the wooden chair, completely ignoring Chu Xingyun. He was very disdainful.
In their hearts, Chu Xingyun was definitely going to die. Since he was going to die, they didn't want to pay any more attention to him, let alone stand up and bow.
The actions of these two people were very subtle, but Chu Xing Yun saw it clearly. After he secretly sneered, he walked to the center of the hall, surrounded by everyone. He pressed his hands down, indicating for everyone to quiet down.
"Everyone, please listen to me." Chu Xingyun's clear voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo frowned and looked over curiously.
"Just now, I went to the pavilion master's courtyard and found that it was empty. I was puzzled and began to look around. According to the guards of the Sacred Star City, the pavilion master left the Sacred Star City last night and ran towards the Wanjian Pavilion."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, everyone was puzzled. In these three days, they were going to discuss the allocation of resources. It was very important to the Wanjian Pavilion. As the pavilion master, why would Fan Wujie suddenly leave?
Moreover, he left in a hurry. He left in the middle of the night without anyone noticing.
"The pavilion master must have his reasons for returning to the Wanjian Pavilion. We don't need to speculate. As for the allocation of resources, I suggest that I be in charge of it for the time being." Chu Xingyun glanced at everyone and spoke again.
"The pavilion master's thoughts have always been unpredictable. He must have his reasons for suddenly returning to the Wanjian Pavilion. I agree with Sword Master Luo Yun's suggestion. He will be in charge of the allocation of resources temporarily." An elder immediately agreed.
"The opportunity to distribute the resources was fought for by the Luo Yun sword master in the first place, so it's only natural for him to be in charge. I also agree with his suggestion." Another elder stood up. He did not hide his support for Chu Xingyun at all.
Seeing the crowd agree, Chang Chixiao frowned. He had a bad feeling about this.
He cleared his throat and stood up. "The allocation of resources is very important to the development of the Wanjian Pavilion. Sword Master Luo Yun is still young and does not have much experience in these matters. I think that we should wait for the pavilion master to return to the Sacred Star City before making a decision."
"That's right. It will be better if the pavilion master is in charge." Qin Qiumo immediately understood what Chang Chixiao meant. Chu Xingyun had won the position of the champion and had already won the hearts of many people. If he replaced Fan Wujie to manage the allocation of resources, his status would become higher and higher. He would not be below Fan Wujie.
Obviously, the two elders did not want to see such an outcome. Therefore, they spoke out to stop him.
"If the Pavilion Master doesn't return to the Sacred Star City in these three days, how should we deal with the distribution of resources?" Chu Xingyun's cold eyes swept over the two people in front of him. His voice was filled with chilliness.
"Gentlemen, there are many grudges between the two of you. Everyone knows that the two of you want to suppress me. However, the matter of resource allocation is related to the rise and fall of the Myriad Sword Pavilion. For the sake of personal gain, the two of you are obstructing and targeting me. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Chu Xingyun's eyes did not flicker. He stared coldly at Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. His voice was sonorous and powerful. "Most of the elders and sword masters have agreed to today's matter. If you have any objections, then we will follow the rules of the Wanjian Pavilion and decide in the arena!"
After he finished speaking, a sharp sword intent radiated from Chu Xingyun. The sword light was invisible, but it contained a torrential pressure. It pressed down on Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo without any disguise.
"Damn it!" Chang Chixiao gritted his teeth. Chu Xingyun's words were no longer a negotiation. It was a humiliation. He was humiliating them in front of everyone.
However, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo did not dare to accept the challenge. They could feel the killing intent from Chu Xingyun's sword intent. It was cold and murderous.
If the two of them were to be on par with Chu Xingyun in the arena battle, what would immediately follow would be death.
Since Chu Xingyun had merged with part of the power of the black hole, everyone had witnessed his strength. Chu Xingyun's change in temperament was also witnessed by everyone. To Chu Xingyun, killing the enemy with one strike was nothing out of the ordinary.
Seeing that Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo were silent, Chu Xingyun withdrew his sword intent and said, "Since the two of you have no objections, then it's decided. The meeting is adjourned."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in unison. After secretly glancing at Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo, they did not say anything and left one after another, returning to their own courtyards.
"There must be something wrong!"
As soon as he returned to his courtyard, Chang Chixiao closed the door tightly and looked at Qin Qiumo with a heavy expression. His tone was extremely solemn and revealed a strong sense of worry.
"Sword Master Chixiao, is the problem you mentioned about the pavilion master's sudden departure?" Qin Qiumo asked resentfully, but Chang Chixiao remained silent. He only paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.
A while later, Chang Chixiao said, "Just as we analyzed last night, Fan Wujie will definitely move against Luo Yun and Baili Kuangsheng in the next three days. He definitely won't let the two of them return to the Wanjian Pavilion alive. However, Fan Wujie returned to the Wanjian Pavilion late last night without saying a word. This is extremely strange.
"Besides that, the first person to discover the pavilion master's departure was Luo Yun. Not only that, he even took the initiative to take charge of the distribution of resources in front of everyone, just like the pavilion master.
"Yesterday, he was unwilling to take part in the distribution of resources, but today, he took the initiative to take charge and took it all on himself. His attitude was so tough, even going as far as to publicly humiliate us. Isn't this change a little too fast?"
Hearing Chang Chixiao's analysis, Qin Qiumo's expression suddenly changed. He took a deep breath and said, "Then according to what you're saying, could it be that Fan Wujie and Luo Yun have reached some kind of agreement?"
"I'm not sure." Chang Chixiao directly shook his head, but his gaze grew even more solemn as he said, "But no matter what, it's probably slightly unrealistic for us to rely on Brahma Wujie to eliminate Luo Yun for us. We have to do it ourselves!"
Do it ourselves?!
Qin Qiumo's heart trembled. He bitterly smiled and said, "With our strength, it's almost impossible to kill Chu Xingyun without anyone knowing. The only person we can rely on is Liu Wentian, but he's still in seclusion. How are we going to do it?"
"If we continue to sit here and wait for death, the moment Luo Yun returns to the Wanjian Pavilion will be the moment of our deaths. Not only that, our clans can forget about living. They will all become ghosts under Luo Yun's sword!"
Chang Chixiao suddenly shouted, causing Qin Qiumo's face to turn pale with fright. He took a few deep breaths before he calmed himself down. "When night falls, you and I will go look for Liu Wentian. Since things have reached this stage, we can't delay any longer."
"Okay!" Qin Qiumo also knew the severity of the matter. He didn't say anything else and nodded heavily.
The sun set in the west, and night gradually enveloped the vast Sacred Star City.
Just as everyone was preparing to cultivate, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo silently left the courtyard. Taking advantage of the darkness, they quickly rushed into the depths of the city.
Their bodies were covered in loose black robes, and their faces were hidden. Every move they made was extremely careful. They looked around and listened carefully, not daring to miss the slightest abnormality.
However, the two of them didn't know that from the moment they left the courtyard, a pitch-black figure had been secretly following them.
That figure was extremely strange. It seemed to have some kind of special ability that could devour all sound and light. It could also block the detection of others' Spiritual Energy.
