Making a Fuss
When Fan Wujie arrived at the Ten Thousand Swords Hall, many people had already gathered in the spacious hall.
Figures moved about in the outer hall. Under the control of the Law Enforcement Disciples, these people trembled as they stood. All of them had their heads lowered and their expressions appeared to be very panicked.
They were Chu Xingyun's disciples. There were three thousand of them, and not a single one was missing. All of them had been escorted here.
In the inner hall, the number of figures was much more sparse. At the center of the large hall stood eight figures. Every single one of them was enveloped by a blood-red sword light that firmly restrained their bodies.
These eight people were naturally Xia Qingcheng and her seven personal disciples.
Unlike the panic of the three thousand disciples, these eight people were very calm. Their eyes were closed as they waited quietly.
Swoosh!
At this moment, the sound of something breaking through the air rang out, breaking the silence.
Under everyone's gaze, Fan Wujie, dressed in a purple-gold robe, strode in from outside the hall. Behind him followed a group of Sword Masters. Just the momentum alone was enough to make people shudder.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master!" Seeing Fan Wujie's arrival, the people present bowed and shouted. Fan Wujie's expression was as cold as usual. He took light steps and ascended to the Pavilion Master's throne.
He flicked his sleeves and slowly sat down. However, his eyes were already focused as he swept his gaze forward.
When his gaze landed on Ning Lefan, Lu Qingyao, and the others, Fan Wujie's eyes trembled. He was surprised to find that the cultivation of the eight people in front of him had all reached the Heavenly Spirit Level without exception.
If that was all, it would be fine. However, Fan Wujie could also feel that other than Xia Qingcheng, the other seven people were emitting a mysterious Sword Way aura.
The Sword Way aura was completely different. It was either scorching hot, sharp, or gentle. They were all extremely pure. Even Fan Wujie had a strong impulse to be amazed.
Moreover, there was a subtle resonance between these Sword Principle auras. When the seven Sword Principle auras spread out at the same time, it was as if they had developed a Sword Principle Heaven and Earth. It was perfect and impeccable.
"Looks like I was too careless and underestimated Luo Yun's means." Fan Wujie muttered to himself. He was very surprised. What kind of methods did Chu Xingyun have to actually be able to nurture seven shocking monstrous geniuses in such a short period of time?
He still remembered that apart from Lu Qingxuan, the other six were only ordinary outer disciples. However, the auras that the six of them were currently displaying were enough for them to call themselves geniuses.
After pondering for a moment, a bright light flashed through Fan Wujie's eyes. His face darkened slightly as he looked directly at the eight people in front of him and said in a serious tone, "The eight of you are so calm. I presume that you know the ins and outs of this matter?"
When Fan Wujie spoke, everyone's gaze focused on him. At the same time, they tacitly maintained their silence and listened quietly.
"Although Luo Yun won the Six Sect Tournament and obtained endless glory for Wanjian Pavilion, he also secretly killed Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo because of personal grievances. This action has seriously violated the sect rules and should be executed!"
"The eight of you have a close relationship with Luo Yun. You are either good friends or master and disciple. However, more importantly, you are all disciples of Wanjian Pavilion. I hope that you can take the initiative to cooperate and work together to find Luo Yun's hiding place."
These words were not threatening in the slightest. Instead, they were filled with righteousness. However, when Xia Qingcheng, Lu Qingyao, and the others heard them, they were especially ear-piercing. Their brows furrowed even tighter.
The one who spoke was Lu Ling. He looked straight into Fan Wujie's eyes and asked in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "This disciple will be so bold as to ask. Pavilion master, you keep saying that master killed Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. Do you have proof?"
"Audacious! You actually dare to offend the pavilion master! "When he heard Lu Ling's words, Qi Yangchen immediately jumped out and berated loudly.
"If Lu Ling's words have offended you, I hope that pavilion master will be magnanimous enough to forgive him. However, these words are not nonsense. Pavilion master, do you have proof that master is the murderer?" At this moment, Shui Qianyue spoke. Although her voice carried a bit of respect, her azure eyes flickered with cold light.
After she spoke, Ning Lefan, Gu Xuanqing, Xia Qingcheng, Lu Qingyao, and Lu Qingxuan all stared at Fan Wujie at the same time.
Only Shi Hao's pupils suddenly contracted. His tall and sturdy body did not move at all. He was still kneeling there.
"You, all of you, are rebelling!" Qi Yangchen was frightened by this scene. Not only him, but the other people's gazes also froze. These people's voices were so direct. There was even a hint of questioning Fan Wujie.
In the entire Wanjian Pavilion, not many people dared to speak to Fan Wujie like this. Even the eighteen sword masters were no exception!
Fan Wujie's face became cold. He stood up and looked at the eight people. He coldly said, "I indeed do not have proof that Luo Yun is the murderer. However, Luo Yun is the only one with a motive."
"Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo have been in charge of internal affairs for many years. They have a wide network of connections and have deep relationships with the five great powers. From what I know, among the many experts in Sacred Star City, other than Luo Yun, no one else has any grudges with them. This is the first reason."
"The second reason is that the Six Sect Competition has just ended. All of the great powers are discussing the distribution of resources. The situation is tense and everyone is anxious. If someone wanted to kill Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo, they would not take action at this time."
"In summary, the only one with the motive, the conditions, and the strength to take action is Luo Yun!"
When Fan Wujie reached the end, his voice became indignant. He said to the eight people, "More importantly, as soon as I left Sacred Star City, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo suddenly died. When I was returning to Wanjian Pavilion, Luo Yun refused and stayed in Sacred Star City alone. Don't you think that this is too much of a coincidence?"
After saying this, Fan Wujie sighed with sorrow. However, deep within his heart, he was still as cold as before.
Actually, Fan Wujie wasn't completely sure that the murderer of Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo's deaths was Chu Xingyun. The reason why he said this was to smear Chu Xingyun's reputation.
It had to be known that ever since Chu Xingyun took control of the outer sect, his reputation in the outer sect had become even more profound. Even if he was called the Outer Sect Master, no one would object.
At this moment, Chu Xingyun had already taken the top position. If he returned to Wanjian Pavilion, he would definitely win the hearts of the people. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Fan Wujie to kill Chu Xingyun. It might even cause a commotion in the sect.
Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo had already died. Their deaths were unclear and meaningless. Fan Wujie might as well use this as a pretext to smear Chu Xingyun's reputation. After all, no one had seen whether or not the two of them had died at the hands of Chu Xingyun!
Seeing the eight people fall into silence, Fan Wujie sighed softly and pretended to sigh. "You are all disciples of Luo Yun. It is natural for you to be biased towards Luo Yun. I will not blame you."
