The Best Choice
At this moment, it was already late at night.
When Baili Kuangsheng arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, the vermillion door opened automatically. Chu Xingyun was sitting by the side of the flowing pond, his head raised as he stared at the bright moon in the night sky.
Baili Kuangsheng's expression turned serious, but then he heard Chu Xingyun's voice. He slowly said, "Since you have something to say, then come in."
Hearing this, Baili Kuangsheng's expression changed again. His expression was somewhat conflicted. After muttering to himself for a moment, he stepped into the courtyard and walked in front of Chu Xingyun.
He looked at Chu Xingyun and saw that the latter was still staring at the bright moon. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "I have a few questions to ask you."
"Ask away," Chu Xingyun smiled slightly at Baili Kuangsheng and answered casually.
"Did you attack Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo?" Baili Kuangsheng frowned as he stared at Chu Xingyun, as if trying to find an answer from his expression.
However, Chu Xingyun still maintained his faint smile and said directly, "That's right. Not long ago, I attacked them and killed both of them, leaving no survivors."
Although he had already guessed this outcome, Baili Kuangsheng's heart still trembled when he heard Chu Xingyun's explanation. He didn't expect the other party to answer so directly, and in such a straightforward manner.
After a moment of pause, Chu Xingyun added, "There is a deep hatred between the two of them to begin with. Neither of us is willing to let the other get away with it. It is only a matter of time before this battle occurs."
"I understand." Baili Kuangsheng nodded, but his pair of sword-like eyebrows furrowed even tighter. He continued to ask, "Then will you continue to attack? Your next target, is Fan Wujie? "
These two questions came out of Baili Kuangsheng's mouth at the same time, both with a sense of urgency.
That day, outside the Ancient Star Secret Dimension, Chu Xingyun faced the ridicule of the crowd and was framed. The situation was extremely serious, but at that time, Fan Wujie didn't step forward bravely. Instead, he added insult to injury and wanted to give up on Chu Xingyun.
At that moment, even Baili Kuangsheng felt a chill in his heart.... He truly felt that Chu Xingyun would also do the same...
. just now, when Chu Xingyun was giving orders to the group of elders, his tone was decisive and his expression was cold, just like the master of a pavilion. It was also at that moment that Baili Kuangsheng knew that Chu Xingyun and Fan Wujie were no longer related.
Seeing Baili Kuangsheng's complicated expression, Chu Xingyun first smiled and then replied, "I still have many enemies in Wanjian Pavilion. I will definitely not let these enemies go. As for Fan Wujie, I can clearly tell you that he will definitely die."
His firm voice caused Baili Kuangsheng to suck in a breath of cold air. Based on his understanding of Chu Xingyun, when the latter said these words, the situation had already reached a point of no return.
Chu Xingyun and Fan Wujie would definitely fight to the death!
Baili Kuangsheng stared at Chu Xingyun's firm eyes and then shifted his gaze to look at the bright moon in the night sky. His thoughts were in a mess and he didn't know what to say.
For a moment, the two of them fell into silence. The space also became quiet because of this.
However, Baili Kuangsheng didn't know what to say, and Chu Xingyun was waiting. He was waiting for Baili Kuangsheng to speak.
Not long after, Baili Kuangsheng let out a sigh of relief. He seemed to have made a decision. He turned his head and said to Chu Xingyun, "I once secretly swore that I would use the sword in my hand to protect you for the rest of my life. I would never leave you, I would never abandon you, I would never hide from you."
"But to me, Wanjian Pavilion is my home. It is the place where I grew up and nurtured me. Its position in my heart is transcendent and no one can compare to it."
"Therefore, I will be a bystander in the matter between you and Fan Wujie. I will not stand on either side."
Baili Kuangsheng spoke in a clear voice. Every single word, every single sentence, represented his current feelings.
Just as he said, Chu Xingyun was the person he swore to protect. If anyone wanted to harm Chu Xingyun or harm Chu Xingyun, he would unsheathe his sword without hesitation and meet the enemy head-on.
Wanjian Pavilion was the place where Baili Kuangsheng grew up. It was his true home.
In the near future, Wanjian Pavilion would stir up a storm of blood. Either side was important to Baili Kuangsheng. The significance was extraordinary. He didn't know how to choose.
Since he didn't know how to choose, he might as well not make a choice. He didn't want to let down either side, and he couldn't let them down either!
"Alright, I understand," Chu Xingyun didn't show any anger on his face. On the contrary, he rather approved of Baili Kuangsheng's choice.
One was the person he swore to protect.
The other was the place where he grew up.
Both sides were so important and difficult to choose. Baili Kuangsheng's decision was already the best one. At the same time, this choice required great determination and courage.
"You've completely comprehended the Way of the Heaven-Shattering Sword passed down by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Emperor. You've also comprehended the Sword Intent of Destruction. This Sword Intent can only be considered an embryonic form. You still need some time and experience to perfect it. In the meantime, make this your goal."
Chu Xingyun extended his hand and patted Baili Kuangsheng's shoulder. He smiled faintly. "As for the other things, you don't have to worry about them for now. Trust me, I'll take care of everything."
Sensing the concern in Chu Xingyun's eyes, Baili Kuangsheng's lips curled up. The pressure in his heart seemed to have dissipated quite a bit. He nodded heavily.
Then, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard step by step.
When his right foot stepped out of the door, Baili Kuangsheng suddenly turned his head and looked deeply at Chu Xingyun. He said seriously, "Promise me that you'll protect yourself well."
Chu Xingyun was stunned at first, but then he smiled faintly and nodded. He raised his eyes slightly and watched Baili Kuangsheng leave until the latter disappeared into the night.
"Kuang Sheng's cultivation talent isn't below mine. Moreover, he's indifferent and values relationships. He's a rare person. However, Fan Wujie's selfishness is too great. He only cares about his own interests. Otherwise, Kuang Sheng wouldn't have felt so disappointed," Chu Xingyun murmured in his heart. Only then did he withdraw his gaze and slowly walk into the secret cultivation room.
The next morning, as soon as the sun peeked out of the clouds, the Sacred Star City became noisy.
Under the urging of the Ancient Star Sect, all the major forces and cultivators were about to leave the Sacred Star City today. Although they didn't understand, they had no way of knowing the answer. They could only leave one after another.
Such noise continued until dusk. When night fell, the Sacred Star City finally welcomed a silence that it had not seen for a long time. However, under this silence, there was a hidden worry and panic of the people from the Ancient Star Sect.
Countless experts rushed over from all the major cities and joined the group. They began to carefully examine the flaws of the Huzong Grand Array. They also studied the black scroll painstakingly, hoping to gain something.
Even the likes of Liu Wentian and Gu Fanxing had joined in.
Countless people gathered in the Sacred Star City and began to discuss intensely. The scene was lively, but there was also a faint sense of chaos.
However, under such an environment, in a remote forest in the Sacred Star City, it was especially quiet. In the deepest part of the forest stood a courtyard.
At this moment, the door of the courtyard slowly opened. Chu Xingyun, dressed in black, slowly walked out.
He flew into the air and looked into the distance, taking in the entire Sacred Star City. The smile at the corner of his mouth became more and more evil.
Whoosh!
A gust of cold night wind suddenly swept past, causing the forest to make a series of sounds.
