Not long after Chu Xingyun left, Liu Wentian returned.
When he stepped into the hall, the coldness on his face disappeared and he smiled, "He just left and you're already here to join in the fun. You're really not afraid of trouble."
Liu Shiyun walked out from behind the door when she heard his words.
She pouted her lips and chuckled, "Those two aren't good people. They must be up to something by visiting so late at night. I'm just afraid that you'll be tricked."
"Is that so?"
Liu Wentian purposely dragged out his words, causing Liu Shiyun's face to turn red. She quickly changed the topic, "Speaking of which, grandfather, why did they visit so late at night?"
"Do you want to know?" Liu Wentian asked. Liu Shiyun immediately nodded her head.
Liu Wentian paused briefly before he continued, "They want me to secretly take Luo Yun's head."
"What?!"
Liu Shiyun jumped up in shock. Her face was filled with anger as she snorted, "They're killing each other for their own benefits. Those two are worse than beasts!"
"Indeed, they're worse than beasts. But don't worry, I've already rejected them." Liu Wentian sat down and gently lifted the teapot as he leisurely said, "No matter what, Luo Yun is your sweetheart and you are my most beloved granddaughter. Even if the Sect Master were to personally come, I would never agree to this."
"Grandpa is right, this matter …" Hearing this, Liu Shiyun immediately revealed a bright and beautiful smile. But before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly stopped and raised her voice. "What sweetheart? Grandpa, don't try to play matchmaker!"
"If he's not your sweetheart, then why are you so nervous?" Liu Wentian was still smiling. His words caused Liu Shiyun to be speechless, and her cheeks were dyed with a blush.
Liu Wentian put down the teapot and looked at Liu Shiyun with a doting gaze, "You've been absent-minded for the past two days. You've been muttering Luo Yun's name several times. Every time the Six Sects Tournament was brought up, your expression would be secretive. Do you really think that an old man like me is blind?"
"Grandfather!" Liu Shiyun stomped her feet in anger. However, the more she acted like that, the happier Liu Wentian was. He kept stroking his beard.
He stood up and walked in front of Liu Shiyun. He said kindly, "Although I don't go out, I still know a little about what happened in the Six Sects Tournament. At the same time, I also know what you are worried about."
"Grandpa has seen too much and experienced too much. No matter what you choose in the future, Grandpa will support you. After all, I made a mistake back then, and I don't want to make the same mistake again."
After saying that, Liu Wentian stretched out his hand and intimately rubbed Liu Shiyun's long hair. Liu Shiyun looked at Liu Wentian in confusion and nodded her head.
Liu Wentian smiled again. With a slight thought, he passed the ancient sandalwood box to Liu Shiyun and said, "Tomorrow, you will personally return this gift to Chang Chixiao. Tell him that I have already made up my mind and ask him not to disturb me in the future."
"Okay." Liu Shiyun replied obediently. Then, she took the ancient sandalwood box.
However, the moment she took the ancient sandalwood box, a crisp sound came out of the box. Then, the lock was automatically opened and a pitch-black scroll floated out and slowly fell into Liu Shiyun's hands.
Liu Shiyun was stunned. She subconsciously glanced at the pitch-black scroll. She saw an obscure and mysterious pattern drawn on the pitch-black scroll. Thousands of lines intersected with each other. Just a glance at it would make one feel dizzy.
"This drawing seems to be a Spiritual Array. Moreover, why does it look so similar to the Great Array of Huzong?" Liu Shiyun unfurled the scroll and saw the patterns on it. She let out a cry of surprise.
As everyone knew, the martial artists of the Ancient Star Sect specialized in the Crepe Myrtle Star Technique and the Dao of Spiritual Arrays. Moreover, they were able to combine the two and set up countless mysterious Spiritual Arrays.
According to what Liu Shiyun knew, the Great Array of Huzong of the Ancient Star Sect was called the Ten Thousand Stars Ancient Array. It was an ancient Spiritual Array. This Spiritual Array was not complete and was incomplete. However, even so, the power of this Spiritual Array was extremely terrifying. Ten thousand stars flickered and the Spiritual Array enveloped the city, allowing the Ancient Star Sect to stand for thousands of years without falling.
However, the Spiritual Array of the Ten Thousand Stars Ancient Array had always been the top secret of the Ancient Star Sect. Only the Sect Master could control it. Even Liu Shiyun had never seen it before. Therefore, when she saw the scroll, her expression suddenly became strange.
Hearing Liu Shiyun's words, Liu Wentian was also shocked. He immediately looked at the black scroll. In an instant, his gaze froze. His pupils shrank as if he had seen something unbelievable.
"Grandfather …" Liu Shiyun noticed Liu Wentian's expression. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Liu Wentian forcefully snatched the black scroll away from her. His eyes stared at the obscure Spiritual Array on the scroll.
Liu Shiyun was shocked. Then, she saw Liu Wentian open his mouth and said in a trembling voice, "Shiyun, immediately go to the city and ask the Sect Master to gather all the Patriarchs of the big families. Tell them to come to the Flat Star Pavilion immediately. Tell them that I have an urgent matter to discuss. Tell them to come no matter what!"
At this moment, Liu Wentian's face was filled with anxiety and fear. He turned his head and saw that Liu Shiyun still hadn't moved. His eyes suddenly narrowed and he shouted, "What are you waiting for? Go!"
As soon as he shouted, Liu Shiyun's heart trembled. She had never seen Liu Wentian like this before. She didn't dare to ask any questions. Her body turned into a ray of purple light and she rushed towards the city at full speed.
Seeing that Liu Shiyun had left, Liu Wentian's expression was still extremely anxious.
He lowered his head and looked at the black scroll again. The more he looked at it, the faster his heart beat. Even his entire body was trembling!
At the same time, in a dense forest not far from the Flat Star Pavilion, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo were like the wind. They were rushing through the forest as they prepared to return to the Wanjian Pavilion.
The two of them had heavy expressions on their faces and a cold aura was emitted from their bodies.
"I never thought that Liu Wentian would be so cowardly. A Nirvana Realm expert doesn't even dare to make a move against a junior!" Qin Qiumo was filled with anger. However, there was a deep helplessness in his voice.
"If he's not willing to make a move, we can find someone else." Chang Chixiao saw through Qin Qiumo's helplessness with a glance. He looked ahead and said coldly, "In the Saint Star City, there are many people who want to kill Luo Yun. As long as we are patient, we will find someone to help us."
"If it doesn't work, we can even use the secrets of the Wanjian Pavilion to make a deal with Gu Xuanfeng and Lin Yuanli. Their killing intent towards Luo Yun is no less than yours and mine."
"I'm afraid this isn't a good idea." Fear surfaced on Qin Qiumo's face. Using the secrets of the Wanjian Pavilion as a deal to secretly contact the Divine Firmament Hall and the Daluo Golden Sect was already treacherous. If news of this spread out, even if they had ten lives, they wouldn't be able to survive.
"As long as Luo Yun is alive, we won't be able to rest in peace. As long as we are careful, no one will find out." Chang Chixiao said without a care. It was obvious that this plan had already formed in his mind. He just didn't say it out loud.
Qin Qiumo's face twitched. After pondering for a moment, he let out a deep breath. His gaze turned cold as he said, "Since we're going to die anyway, let's go find Gu Xuanfeng and Lin Yuanli tomorrow."
Hearing Qin Qiumo's words, Chang Chixiao nodded in satisfaction.
