The Chill of Ancient Stars
Gu Fanxing's mocking voice slowly spread through the air, confusing Fan Wujie and angering the crowd in Wanjian Pavilion. Their faces all darkened.
This was the entrance to Wanjian Pavilion, and Fan Wujie was the owner of Wanjian Pavilion. Gu Fanxing's actions were not only humiliating Fan Wujie, they were also humiliating Wanjian Pavilion.
How could they tolerate such words and actions?
The Swordmasters looked at each other and could feel the anger in each other's eyes. Fan Wujie's eyes darkened. Just as he took a step forward, he saw Fan Wujie raise his hand and gesture for him to stop. Then, he slowly took a few steps forward and faced Gu Fanxing and Liu Wentian.
"Sect Leader Gu, can you let me have a look at the black scroll in your hand?" Fan Wujie's expression was calm, and his voice did not waver.
"What? You still want to destroy the evidence? "A voice rang out. The Ancient Star Sect's crowd stared at Fan Wujie with sharp gazes.
Fan Wujie's eyes flashed with coldness, but his expression remained calm as he stared at Gu Fanxing.
Gu Fanxing paused, then waved his hand and threw out the black scroll.
"Thank you." Fan Wujie reached out to take the scroll. As soon as he unfurled it, his gaze froze. His sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and even his breathing stopped.
Seeing this scene, the group of Sword Masters also quickly walked forward. When they saw the black scroll, their expressions were also stunned. Heavy breathing sounds came from their throats.
As Sword Masters, they were no strangers to the Ancient Star Sect. They also had a deep understanding of the Ancient Star Sect's Huzong Formation. This scroll recorded the detailed location of the Formation Eye of the Huzong Formation, as well as the flaws of the Spiritual Formation.
It was no exaggeration to say that as long as one had this scroll, one could easily travel to any place in Sacred Star City. One could even destroy the Formation Eye of the Huzong Formation and cause chaos in Sacred Star City!
"The person who could draw this scroll must be a Spiritual Array Grandmaster!" Fan Wuchen paused and sighed in his heart. However, as he continued to look at the black scroll, a strong sense of shock suddenly surged from his face.
At the bottom of the scroll, the name of the 10,000 Swords Pavilion was written. Aside from that, there was also a diagram of how to break the formation. All the words pointed to the 10,000 Swords Pavilion!
"Preposterous! This is simply nonsense!" Qi Yangchen let out a sharp voice. It was also at this moment that he finally understood why the Ancient Star Sect would launch such a mighty attack and why Gu Fanxing and Liu Wentian would ridicule them so much.
Fan Wujie also understood the ins and outs of the matter. He handed the scroll back to Gu Fanxing and said, "Sect Master Gu, this scroll did not come from Wanjian Pavilion. As for the Formation Breaking Weapon mentioned in the scroll, I have never heard of it."
"Is that so?"
Gu Fanxing smiled mockingly and looked at Fan Wujie mockingly. "This scroll was personally delivered by Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. These two are in charge of internal affairs and are the confidants of Pavilion Master Fan. Now, Pavilion Master Fan is saying that he has never heard of the existence of this black scroll. Isn't this a little strange?"
"Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo …" The group of Sword Masters were stunned and subconsciously looked at Fan Wujie.
"There must be some misunderstanding!" Fan Wujie's voice was firm as he hurriedly said, "Perhaps you don't know, but Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo are already dead. They died at Luo Yun's hands. There's no way to determine the authenticity of this scroll."
"Of course we know about this," Liu Wentian said calmly. Liu Wentian spoke unhurriedly, "Back then, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiu Mo came overnight and used this scroll as a gift, begging me to kill Luo Yun and protect their position. In other words, I personally saw this scroll in their hands, it's impossible for it to be fake."
"Furthermore, after they gave this scroll, they were killed as soon as they left Calm Star Lake. Their corpses were strewn across the forest. After careful investigation, the person who killed them was not Luo Yun, but you, Fan Wujie!"
Thump!
As he finished speaking, Fan Wujie's heart twitched violently. Not only him, but all the people from Wanjian Pavilion also felt their hearts tremble as their pupils constricted.
The person who killed Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo was not Luo Yun, but … Fan Wujie?
"Just as Sect Leader Gu said, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo were the leaders of the internal affairs faction. They were also my trusted subordinates. How could I kill the two of them?" Fan Wujie's eyes flashed as he hurriedly retorted.
"Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible for you to kill the two of them. However, the black scroll they handed over was related to whether Wanjian Pavilion could destroy the Ancient Star Sect or not. It was also related to Wanjian Pavilion's ambition to dominate the Northern Wilderness Region. For such a grand plan, it was reasonable for you to kill the two of them."
Gu Fanxing gently stroked his storage ring. Immediately, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo's corpses appeared in front of everyone. He pointed at the necks of the two corpses and continued, "Perhaps you can refute my deduction, but the sword intent on the corpses is the best evidence. As far as I know, in the entire Northern Wilderness Region, only you have such a sword intent."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless people looked over and landed on the two corpses. When they felt the familiar sword intent, their expressions changed subtly, especially the group of sword masters.
According to their research on the Light Sword Intent, this sword intent was exactly the same as Fan Wujie's sword intent. Moreover, in the entire Northern Wilderness Region, they could not find a second person who had such a sword intent.
"I find it hard to agree with you that you can judge the person who killed them based on the sword intent. Moreover, you said that when you found Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo, they were already dead. No one can prove that I was the one who killed them!"
Fan Wujie's voice was full of grievance and anger. He felt as if there was a suffocating breath in his chest. It was very uncomfortable. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Fanxing immediately said, "But you can't prove that you're not the one who did it!"
"You should know that before the incident, you suddenly left Saint Star City. No one knew why you suddenly left. You could have secretly returned and killed Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. Am I right?"
When Fan Wujie heard Gu Fanxing's words, he became even angrier. However, he had nothing to say. He couldn't refute it at all. Indeed, no one could prove his whereabouts back then except for himself.
If he was not the person involved, judging from the various evidence before him, his thoughts would probably be as meticulous as Gu Fanxing and Liu Wentian's. Everything was pointed at him.
"We came all the way from the Saint Star City for a simple reason. We just want to verify the authenticity of the black scroll. Therefore, I hope that Pavilion Master Fan can cooperate with us and open up a path for us to search the 10,000 Swords Pavilion thoroughly …"
Gu Fanxing finally revealed his purpose. However, before he could finish, Fan Wuchen's body suddenly emitted a cold aura. He angrily shouted at Gu Fanxing, "I am Wanjian Pavilion. How can I allow you to do as you wish?"
"After the Grand Competition of the Six Sects, Wanjian Pavilion will be the head of the Six Sects. You want to search Wanjian Pavilion thoroughly based on your words and speculation? If news of this spreads, what will happen to Wanjian Pavilion's reputation?"
Many people also shouted angrily. The Ancient Star Sect's sudden arrival and arrogant attitude had already damaged Wanjian Pavilion's reputation. If they still wanted to conduct a large-scale search, Wanjian Pavilion would definitely become a laughing stock. They could not accept such an action.
