The moment Chang Chixiao's words landed, the entire area instantly became silent.
Liu Wentian raised his head and looked at Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. His voice was calm, "Although I've been in seclusion, I've still heard about the Six Sects Tournament. Luo Yun is the champion of the Six Sects Tournament. According to the rules set by the six major forces, no one is allowed to make a move against him."
"I'm afraid that I'm unable to help you with this matter."
"Rules are dead, but people are alive. Patriarch Liu, there's no need to be so timid because of a rule." Hearing Liu Wentian's rejection, Chang Chixiao hurriedly added, "Furthermore, as long as this matter is done secretly and without leaving any evidence, no one will be able to suspect us."
As he spoke, Chang Chixiao gave a signal to Qin Qiumo. Qin Qiumo immediately followed up, "The two of us will also help you with this matter. Patriarch Liu, you only need to kill Luo Yun. As for the rest, we will take care of it. You don't have to worry about it."
When he finished speaking, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo felt helpless in their hearts.
Back then, Chu Xingyun's wings weren't fully grown yet. They had countless opportunities to kill him, but because of their arrogance, they missed every opportunity.
But now, Chu Xingyun's strength wasn't any weaker than theirs. In fact, he had even surpassed them. Even if they wanted to kill Chu Xingyun, they were powerless. Otherwise, why would they need to beg for help?
Thinking up to here, Chang Chixiao's desire to kill Chu Xingyun grew even stronger. He stared at Liu Wentian, but Liu Wentian closed his eyes and shook his head, "I'm powerless in this matter. The two of you can leave."
"Patriarch Liu, this matter isn't difficult for you. No matter how strong Luo Yun is, he's only in the 1st level of the Yin Yang Realm. As for you, you've already reached the Nirvana Realm. Killing him is as easy as flipping your hand." Qin Qiumo continued to persuade Liu Wentian.
However, Liu Wentian still had his eyes closed and refused to answer.
This scene caused Qin Qiumo to panic. His expression became increasingly anxious. Just as he was about to speak, Chang Chixiao stretched out his hand and stopped him.
Under Qin Qiumo's doubtful gaze, Chang Chixiao took a step forward and bowed to Liu Wentian, "Old Patriarch Liu, it's understandable that you're worried about Luo Yun's identity. But as I said earlier, I hope that you can make an exception for the sake of our past relationship."
Chang Chixiao's words were extremely heavy, causing Liu Wentian to slowly open his eyes. His calm eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of coldness, and the originally quiet space suddenly became heavy.
"Back then, your daughter secretly escaped to the Wanjian Pavilion to escape the marriage alliance. I was the one who discovered her identity and informed you of her whereabouts. Do you still remember this?"
"During your daughter's time in the Wanjian Pavilion, I was also the one who acted as a matchmaker between her and Fan Wujie's son. Furthermore, I allowed Fan Wujie to propose marriage to the Ancient Star Sect, thus saving you some face. Do you still remember this?"
"If Patriarch Liu doesn't remember these two matters, then it's fine. You won't forget the Liuyun Dynasty's act of killing the Chu Clan's members and capturing Chu Xingchen and that bastard's spawn, right?"
Chang Chixiao spat out three sentences in a row. Every single word was extremely clear and ear-piercing. Every word entered Liu Wentian's ears, causing the coldness in his eyes to become even denser.
However, Chang Chixiao didn't pay any attention to Liu Wentian as he continued, "Back then, I did everything I could to help. Even after this matter was over, I used my position to privately exchange resources with the Liu Clan, thus helping the Liu Clan to quickly rise."
"To put it bluntly, the Liu Clan's current situation is due to me, Chang Chixiao. Today, I don't ask for much, I only want Luo Yun's head. Could it be that Patriarch Liu isn't willing to agree?"
Just as Chang Chixiao finished speaking, a terrifying energy surged out from Liu Wentian's body and suppressed the former's body. Liu Wentian's voice was ice-cold as he said, "Were you threatening me with those words?"
Liu Wentian's cultivation base had already reached the third tribulation of Nirvana. Compared to Brahma Nirvana, his cultivation base was slightly higher. At this moment, the pressure from Liu Wentian's attack caused Qin Qiu Mo's body to stiffen. Even his gaze froze and he couldn't move.
Qin Qiumo was like this and so was Chang Chixiao. However, he still opened his mouth and said with great difficulty, "I'm only asking Patriarch Liu for a favor as an old friend."
"Old friend?"
Hearing Chang Chixiao's words, Liu Wentian suddenly laughed. His laughter was filled with complex emotions, causing the entire space to violently tremble as if it was about to collapse.
A moment later, Liu Wentian stopped laughing. He looked at Chang Chixiao with a smile that wasn't a smile and coldly said, "Back then, for the sake of reviving the Liu Clan, I was blinded by power. That was why I did one absurd thing after another.
"When I found out that Mengyan was already married and had a child, I originally wanted to let bygones be bygones and end this grudge. However, Fan Wujie and Gu Fanxing couldn't let go of this grudge and forced me to bring Mengyan back.
"Because of this matter, Mengyan hated me for a full eighteen years. In these eighteen years, she never called me father. When father and daughter met, they were like enemies. And because of the sins I committed back then, I never dared to step into West Wind City, and could only live here in seclusion."
After saying those words, Liu Wentian started to laugh again. However, his laughter was a bitter laugh, and a laugh of regret.
Back then, for the sake of the Liu Clan and power, he gave up on the relationship between father and daughter and even broke up a happy family.
Now that he thought about it, Liu Wentian's heart was filled with regret. He didn't even want to think about it anymore. Chang Chixiao was laughable. He wanted to take credit for this and ask Liu Wentian to help him kill Chu Xingyun.
Sensing Liu Wentian's complex emotions, Chang Chixiao cursed inwardly.
He pondered for a moment, but before he could speak, Liu Wentian stood up. As he walked, he said, "I don't want to talk about what happened back then, nor do I want to look into it. It's an indisputable fact that you helped me, but in the end, you did it for yourself and power. Otherwise, you wouldn't have become the head of the internal affairs department."
"Family Head Liu …" Chang Chixiao wanted to continue pleading, but when he raised his head, he saw that Liu Wentian was already standing at the door with an indifferent expression. He said coldly, "The two of you, please leave."
As soon as these words left his mouth, all of Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo's hopes disappeared. The two of them clenched their teeth. Although their hearts were filled with unwillingness and anger, they could only let out a long sigh and slowly walked out of the Ping Xing Pavilion.
At this moment, in the main hall.
Chu Xingyun, who was maintaining his [Black Camouflage] state, was standing in the middle of the hall. He stared at Liu Wentian's straight back as the latter's words unconsciously echoed in his mind.
His pitch-black eyes were still very cold, and no one could see any emotion in them. He only paused for a moment before moving his gaze away and landing on the ancient sandalwood box.
Whoosh!
Chu Xingyun waved his hand and immediately put the ancient sandalwood box into his storage ring. At the same time, he took out an identical ancient sandalwood box and placed it in its original position.
