Ten Thousand Sword Hall, inside the meeting hall.
Fan Wujie, who was dressed in a purple robe, sat at the head of the table. His eyes were slightly focused, as if he was in deep thought. From time to time, streaks of light would flash past his eyes. Below him was a group of Wanjian Pavilion's upper echelons.
"Since yesterday, I have sent people to the various great empires to collect and excavate spirit veins. Although it hasn't been long, we have already obtained quite a bit of accurate information about spirit veins. I believe that it won't be long before the spirit veins are brought back to Wanjian Pavilion." An elder bowed towards Fan Wujie. His tone was extremely respectful.
"After these few days of pacification, both the inner and outer sect disciples' emotions have calmed down. Their daily cultivation has also completely resumed. As for the theft of the spirit veins and cultivation resources, it is still under investigation." Fan Wuchen followed up. His tone carried a bit of helplessness. He had done his best to investigate the theft of the spirit veins and resources, but he still couldn't find any clues.
Regarding this, Fan Wujie's expression was rather calm. He had already expected this result.
One has to understand that he had secretly entered the sword tomb and asked the sword spirit of the legendary ancient sword about this matter. The sword spirit's reply was extremely vague and carried a trace of fear, as if it didn't want to investigate this matter further.
From this, Fan Wujie knew that the person who stole the spirit veins and resources was definitely someone with great abilities. With just Fan Wuchen and the others, even if they didn't have any information, it was still a matter of course.
Seeing that Fan Wujie didn't say anything, the sword masters and elders below looked at each other. Then, they continued to report the situation of the past few days.
Among the crowd, Qi Yangchen and Shi Hao were also present. However, the former's expression was extremely calm, while the latter's expression was clearly a bit fearful and anxious.
"Shi Hao, the matter of the three thousand disciples, how did you deal with it?" After the elders finished their reports, Fan Wujie suddenly asked Shi Hao.
Shi Hao's entire body trembled, and then he hurriedly walked out. He bowed and said, "Reporting to master, the three thousand disciples under Luo Yun's sect have been completely disbanded by me. Among them, two thousand and one hundred have sincerely pledged allegiance to my sect. As for the other eight hundred, they were arranged by Lu Xing to be escorted to Thousand Peaks Cliff and personally guarded by him."
"Lu Xing?"
Fan Wujie's eyes narrowed slightly. That slight sound of surprise immediately made Shi Hao's legs go weak, his body continuously trembling. He lowered his head, not daring to look straight ahead for a long time.
After a short while, Fan Wujie seemed to have guessed what had happened. He said, "This result is not bad. You must make good use of these outer disciples. You can't let the outer disciples become restless. As for Lu Xing, since he wants to guard Wan Feng Cliff, let him be."
"Yes!" Hearing Fan Wujie's words, Shi Hao felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He let out a long sigh of relief. However, at this moment, he heard Fan Wujie add, "Oh right, how did you deal with the matter of the sword manual?"
"Those people were stubborn and refused to hand over the sword manual. However, master, please be at ease. I will definitely not disappoint your expectations!" Shi Hao bowed his back again. Fan Wujie nodded and waved his hand impatiently, indicating for him to leave.
After Shi Hao left, Qi Yangchen paused for a moment, then stood out and said, "Pavilion master, after these few days of careful handling, the chaos in Wanjian Pavilion has basically been quelled. After a period of time, we will definitely send out experts to search for Luo Yun and Baili Kuangsheng's whereabouts. During this period of time, I hope you can continue to isolate the Technique Imparting Sect."
Hearing Qi Yangchen's words, the crowd immediately began to discuss with different expressions on their faces.
That day, in front of Wanjian Pavilion's mountain gate, Yun Changqing, Lei Yuanguang and the others had once spoken up to absolve Chu Xingyun of his crimes. This action had caused Fan Wujie to be dissatisfied, and as a result, the four of them were isolated.
Today's meeting had gathered the upper echelons of Wanjian Pavilion. Only the four of them did not participate.
"Luo Yun belongs to the Technique Imparting Sect. Ever since he entered Wanjian Pavilion, he has been taken care of by Yun Changqing and the others. His defection is definitely related to Yun Changqing and the others. Logically speaking, these four people are extremely suspicious."
Qi Yangchen lowered his head, his face filled with a cold expression. He said coldly, "In order to thoroughly investigate this matter, I suggest that we continue to isolate the Technique Imparting Sect and arrange for spies to enter the Sword Master Peak to secretly search for information."
"Sword Master Yangchen's words are reasonable. The four Sword Masters of the Technique Imparting Sect have a close relationship with Luo Yun, so we should indeed isolate them." The masters on the side all nodded in agreement with Qi Yangchen's suggestion.
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you." Fan Wujie nodded. He had already lost trust in the four Sword Masters of the Technique Imparting Sect. Due to the chaotic situation in Wanjian Pavilion, he did not personally take action. Isolating them first and secretly investigating them was indeed a feasible method.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master!" Qi Yangchen nodded deeply. His expression was grave and solemn, but his heart was filled with joy.
Actually, what Qi Yangchen truly cared about was not Chu Xingyun's whereabouts, nor was it the relationship between Chu Xingyun and the four Sword Masters. The reason why he had suddenly brought up this matter was because he wanted to infiltrate the Technique Imparting Sect and secretly recruit disciples.
Just as Lu Xing had thought, Wanjian Pavilion had already become a mess. All the upper echelons had revealed their true colors. They did not hesitate to use any means to crazily plunder resources and rebuild their forces.
Not only Qi Yangchen, but almost all the upper echelons present were doing the same. On the surface, they seemed to be stabilizing the chaotic situation in Wanjian Pavilion, but in reality, they were cultivating resources and re-dividing the forces.
Of course, Fan Wujie knew what these people were thinking, but he did not stop them. As long as Wanjian Pavilion was not disbanded, he was still the high and mighty Pavilion Master of Wanjian Pavilion. He could tolerate everything.
There were nearly a hundred people in the huge meeting hall. Everyone had different thoughts. Just as they were discussing heatedly, suddenly, a black shadow swept in from outside the hall and rushed straight into the hall.
It was a man in black. After he entered the hall, he knelt down heavily on one knee and said to Fan Wujie, "Pavilion Master, a large group of people suddenly appeared outside the mountain gate. Judging from the aura of the group, they seem to be people from the Ancient Star Sect."
As soon as he said this, everyone shut their mouths and frowned. They did not understand why people from the Ancient Star Sect would appear at this time.
"Approximately how many people are there?" Fan Wujie stood up slowly, looking rather calm.
"This …"
