Scene of Decay
The Ancient Star Sect's shocking changes were unknown to the other forces.
Since the end of the Six Sects Tournament, they did not want to stay in the Sacred Star City any longer. As soon as they left the city, they immediately returned to their sects. The people in the Wanjian Pavilion were no exception.
On the way back to the sect, they were in a very good mood.
Chu Xingyun had won first place in the Six Sects Grand Competition. Therefore, in the following ten years, the Wanjian Pavilion would become the leader of the Six Sects and would have a huge amount of cultivation resources.
This was extremely beneficial to the Wanjian Pavilion. Not only could it expand its territory, but it could also nurture more geniuses. There were only benefits to be had.
Thinking up to this point, Yun Changqing, Tang Yunhuan, and the others revealed dimples on their faces. They couldn't help but increase their speed as they rushed towards the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.
Hu hu hu!
Not long after, the vast and majestic Ten Thousand Swords Mountain appeared in front of their eyes. However, before the joy on their faces could spread, their brows were tightly knitted together.
There were no changes to the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain. It was still as lofty and majestic as before. However, the Spiritual Energy that enveloped the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain all year round had disappeared. Not a single ripple of Spiritual Energy could be felt.
Other than that, they could not sense any signs of life. The entire Ten Thousand Swords Mountain was lifeless, as if it was a barren mountain.
What was going on?
In an instant, this thought appeared in everyone's minds. Not daring to slack off, they immediately increased their speed to the limit and descended from the sky onto the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.
When they arrived at the gate of the Wanjian Pavilion, everyone's body trembled, and their eyes were fixed there.
In his line of sight, the eighteen sword peaks that towered in the void were no longer filled with spiritual energy and vitality. The exquisite and elegant pavilions and towers were either collapsed or damaged. Everywhere was filled with an aura of decay.
What was even more shocking was that the disciples of Wanjian Pavilion, who were supposed to be cultivating hard, were now running around the pavilion, trying their best to repair the dilapidated palace. They were extremely busy.
This scene was too shocking. It was completely different from what the crowd had imagined. It was as if Wanjian Pavilion had experienced a catastrophe, and this catastrophe had almost completely destroyed Wanjian Pavilion!
"Sword Lord Evergreen." At this moment, a disciple noticed Yun Changqing and the others.
Many disciples of the 10,000 Swords Pavilion hurriedly turned their heads and rushed over. Their eyes flickered with ecstasy, as if they had found hope.
"What happened? How did the Wanjian Pavilion become like this?" Yun Changqing waved his hand to calm the disciples before asking.
The group of disciples looked at each other, their faces filled with bitterness. Just as they were about to open their mouths to explain, a terrifying aura suddenly descended from the sky. At the same time, a ray of light flashed and landed in the middle of the crowd.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master." When they saw the stream of light clearly, everyone bowed.
The person who had come was Fan Wujie.
At this moment, he did not look too good.
That day, after he was defeated by Lin Tianchong, he did not continue to fight. He had been thinking about Wanjian Pavilion, so he simply left Sacred Star City that night and returned to Wanjian Pavilion.
Although he had already mentally prepared himself, he was still extremely shocked when he saw the decline of Wanjian Pavilion.
The Earth Level Spiritual Vein of the Ten-thousand Swords Mountain had disappeared. The 18 Black Level Spiritual Veins of the Sword Lord Peak had also disappeared. Even the hundreds of Yellow Level Spiritual Veins that covered the entire Wanjian Pavilion had disappeared without a trace.
The entire Wanjian Pavilion was no longer a holy place for cultivation that everyone yearned for. It was like a barren land with a bleak scenery.
If it were only the disappearance of the Spiritual Veins, Fan Wujie would not be so desolate. What made him even more shocked was that the cultivation resources that had been passed down for thousands of years in Wanjian Pavilion had also disappeared. Not a single thing was left behind.
At that moment, even with Fan Wujie's temperament, he felt that his mind was about to collapse. He opened his mouth and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. His aura became extremely weak.
"Pavilion Master, this …" Seeing Fan Wujie's gloomy face, Yun Changqing was even more confused. As soon as he spoke, Fan Wujie waved his hand and said in a gloomy tone, "I will explain what happened in the past few days to you later."
As he spoke, Fan Wujie's gaze swept across the crowd. He frowned slightly and said, "Why did you all return so quickly?"
The allocation of cultivation resources required three days, but Fan Wujie had only left Saint Star City for two days. Under normal circumstances, Yun Changqing and the others should still be in Saint Star City at this time.
Moreover, Fan Wujie did not see Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo in the returning group. Moreover, Chu Xingyun and Baili Kuangsheng were not in the group either. This was truly strange.
Yun Changqing paused for a moment before explaining, "Pavilion Master suddenly left Saint Star City that day, so Sword Master Luo Yun decided that he would be in charge of the allocation to avoid any delays."
Hearing this, Fan Wujie's expression did not change in the slightest.
The allocation of resources was not difficult. Although Luo Yun was still young, with the help of Yun Changqing and Tang Yunhuan, it was more than enough to handle this matter.
"However, on that day, the Ancient Star Sect suddenly issued an order for all forces to withdraw from Saint Star City. The allocation of resources was temporarily postponed. When this matter was being discussed, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo were not in the courtyard and no one saw their whereabouts."
Yun Changqing recalled the entire matter and replied, "As for Sword Master Luo Yun and Sword Master Mang Sheng, they said that they had to deal with some matters and did not leave together. Considering that the two of them had special privileges, we did not think too much about it and returned first."
"There was such a matter?" When Yun Changqing's last words fell, Fan Wujie's frown deepened.
He did not know why, but at this moment, a strange feeling suddenly surged from the depths of his heart.
Just as he left Saint Star City, something strange happened in Saint Star City. All the forces had to leave in advance and even the allocation of resources had to be postponed.
If this was the only matter, it would not have been a big deal. However, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo's whereabouts were suddenly unknown. Chu Xingyun and Baili Kuangsheng had matters to deal with at the same time and could not return to Wanjian Pavilion.
These things were too much of a coincidence. They all happened without any warning when he was not present.
Fan Wujie lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, his gaze trembled as if he had thought of something. His originally ugly face instantly became incomparably ashen.
Under the gaze of everyone, he flipped his palm and took out a pitch-black wooden box.
When the wooden box opened, there were small jade swords neatly placed inside. There were many names engraved on the swords and they looked rather strange.
These small jade swords contained a sliver of Essence of Life. When the person who injected the Essence of Life died, the small jade swords would shatter as well.
Through this method, others could easily determine the life and death of the person who injected the Essence of Life.
When the crowd saw Fan Wujie take out the wooden box, their hearts suddenly sank. They all held their breaths and looked at the small jade swords. When they saw the names of Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo, their faces twitched violently.
The two small jade swords were shattered.
