Everyone was panicking.
The night was like water, reflecting on the blood, reflecting a strange red light.
Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo's corpses fell to the ground powerlessly under the bright moonlight. Accompanied by a muffled sound, a handful of dust flew up, and then disappeared into the night.
Chu Xingyun's gaze slowly swept across the two headless corpses. They were so eye-catching, but his expression was still cold. In his pitch-black eyes, there was still a demonic light and a raging fire of vengeance.
Buzz!
A huge Black Hole Heavy Sword appeared in Chu Xingyun's hand. The pitch-black sword suddenly emitted a strange suction force, acting on Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo's corpses, and two blurry shadows were pulled out.
Upon closer inspection, these two blurry shadows were like humans. Their bodies were greyish white, and their faces were no different from Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. The moment they touched the Black Hole Heavy Sword, they were immediately sucked in by the suction force.
Seeing the two blurry shadows being sucked into the Black Hole Heavy Sword, Chu Xingyun's lips curled into a satisfied smile. His pitch-black eyes flashed with a bright light, and he seemed even more demonic.
"Next, it will be the Wanjian Pavilion and the Ancient Star Sect's turn," he whispered.
He lifted his gaze and looked at the bright moon in a daze. Then, his body flashed, and like a shadow, he swept into the pitch-black night sky, causing the void to return to a dead silence.
At the same time, in the Ping Xing Pavilion, which was not far from here, there was still no peace.
At this moment, dozens of figures had gathered in the meeting hall of the Ping Xing Pavilion. These figures were all the core members of the Ancient Star Sect. They held real power and were of noble status. Even the leader of the Ancient Star Sect, Gu Fanxing, was here.
They all looked at Liu Wentian with heavy gazes, and their eyes were filled with doubt and confusion. Some of the elders even began to discuss in low voices, causing the atmosphere in the room to become extremely strange.
"Everyone, please be quiet." At this moment, Gu Fanxing spoke.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, he stepped forward and said to Liu Wentian, "Family Head Liu, now that all the higher-ups have arrived, why don't you just say it."
Liu Wentian nodded. After taking a deep breath, he quickly walked to the center of the hall.
He waved his hand and took out a pitch-black scroll. He said in a clear voice, "Not long ago, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo came late at night, and begged me to secretly kill Luo Yun.... and this is the gift they gave me."
As he spoke, Liu Wentian didn't give anyone time to discuss. With a thought, a vast amount of Spiritual Energy fused into the pitch-black scroll. As the two fused together, a dazzling starlight blossomed.
After this starlight swept into the void, it immediately turned into thousands of array patterns that spread in all directions. Finally, it turned into a huge and obscure Spiritual Array Phantasm that appeared in front of everyone's eyes without reservation.
"Why does this Spiritual Spiritual Array look so familiar?" In just an instant, many people noticed it. Liu Wentian's voice sounded again, and he said with certainty, "Your guesses are correct. This Spiritual Spiritual Array is the Ancient Star Sect's Great Huzong Array."
Although they had their doubts, when they heard Liu Wentian's confirmation, they still let out gasps of surprise. Just as they were about to ask, Gu Fanxing said in a serious voice, "Everyone, please be quiet and let Family Head Liu speak."
Liu Wentian looked at Gu Fanxing, nodded, and continued, "The Great Huzong Array is the Ancient Star Sect's top secret. I don't know why the Spirit Array diagram fell into the hands of Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo, but after my research, I found that this scroll not only recorded the Great Huzong Array diagram, but it also recorded the flaws of the Great Huzong Array!"
"According to the scroll, the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion already knew about the flaws in the spirit formation. Because of that, we even prepared a lot of spirit formation breaking items. Once those spirit formation breaking items come into contact with the grand spirit formation, the entire grand spirit formation protecting the sect will be reduced to nothingness."
"What!?" Hearing Liu Wentian's words, the crowd couldn't help but let out a cry of horror.
It should be known that the Great Huzong Array was the root of the Ancient Star Sect. Since the Ancient Star Sect was founded, this Spirit Array had been constantly perfected and deepened. It had completely integrated into every inch of the Sacred Star City.
If the Great Huzong Array was destroyed and turned into nothingness, then the entire Sacred Star City would suffer a great catastrophe. It would become a wasteland and disappear into history.
When that time came, the Ancient Star Sect would be like duckweed. It would be difficult for them to establish themselves in the Northern Wilderness Region. They might even be completely destroyed!
"How could the Wanjian Pavilion know about the secrets of the Great Huzong Array? What is going on here?" Liu Guqiong couldn't believe this fact, but when he saw the Spirit Array's shadow in mid-air, he had to admit it.
In fact, this black scroll was the item that Chu Xingyun had exchanged.
The Great Huzong Array of the Ancient Star Sect was based on the Ten Thousand Star Ancient Spirit Diagram's Ten Thousand Star Ancient Spirit Diagram. However, due to the lack of knowledge, the Ten Thousand Star Ancient Spirit Diagram was incomplete.
It was not difficult for Chu Xingyun, who possessed the Myriad Star Ancient Spirit Diagram, to break the incomplete Myriad Star Ancient Formation. On the contrary, it was extremely simple. However, in the eyes of Liu Wentian, Gu Fanxing and the others, it was unbelievable.
As for the words left on the black scroll, they were also written by Chu Xingyun.
"Silence!"
Seeing the panic spreading, Gu Fanxing spoke again. He glanced at the crowd and then looked at the black scroll in Liu Wentian's hand. He asked in a deep voice, "Where are Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo now?"
In their eyes, this black scroll was written by Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. Moreover, they had given it to Liu Wentian as a greeting gift. If they wanted to know the whole story, they could only find the two of them.
"I have already sent people to look for them. I believe there will be news soon." Liu Wentian gave Gu Fanxing a reassuring look. Just as he finished speaking, there was a burst of sound coming from outside the Ping Xing Pavilion.
Whoosh!
A wild gust of wind swept past. Outside the pavilion, several middle-aged men in black appeared. When Liu Wentian saw these people, his eyes lit up and he hurried over.
However, when he saw the two stretchers, his heart trembled. The white cloth was lifted, and what came into view was indeed Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. However, they were two corpses with their heads separated from their bodies.
"How could this be?" Liu Wentian's voice trembled. How long had it been? Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo were dead. Moreover, they had died in such a horrible way.
The men in black looked at each other and replied with their heads lowered, "After we left the Ping Xing Lake, we quickly found the two of them. However, when we arrived, they were already dead. As for who killed them, we … don't know."
"Since someone is wantonly committing murder, why can't you immediately investigate? Other than saying that you don't know, what else can you say? What a bunch of trash! "Liu Guqiong scolded loudly. His voice was so loud that it almost shattered everyone's eardrums.
Apart from him, the other people's faces did not look too good either. They originally thought that after finding Qin Qiumo and Chang Chixiao, they would know the secret behind the black scroll. Who would have thought that Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo would be dead?
Now, no matter how doubtful or confused they were, they were unable to find out the origins of the black scroll. They could only sink into panic.
"Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo are not weak. When the two of them work together, there are very few people who can kill them. Since the culprit can kill the two of them, it means that this person's strength is unfathomable. Even if we investigate, we will not be able to find the culprit."
Gu Fanxing's voice was extraordinarily calm. He walked over to the two corpses and bent down to examine them carefully. He placed his hand on the heads of the corpses and closed his eyes to sense.
A while later, he opened his eyes and slowly stood up. He said, "The fracture is smooth and without any coarseness. From this, we can tell that the culprit is a sword cultivator, and a sword cultivator with extremely great swordsmanship at that."
"The sword intent on the slash is sword intent of light. It is extremely sharp and contains a sliver of coldness and mysteriousness. From this, the culprit should be Fan Wujie."
