To lay bare the truth
When Gu Fanxing spoke, his expression was very calm. There was no surprise or joy, but there was a strong threat in his words. If the Wanjian Pavilion did not agree, he would start a war and cause a bloody storm.
As these words rang out, the atmosphere became extremely tense. Everyone in the Wanjian Pavilion looked at Gu Fanxing, who had a calm expression on his face, and all of them looked embarrassed and even furious.
It had been a thousand years since Wanjian Pavilion was founded, and it had never been threatened in such a domineering way. If they agreed to the Ancient Star Sect's search, the reputation of Wanjian Pavilion would be ruined. If they did not agree, the two sides would go to war and fight to the death.
Unlike the crowd in the Wanjian Pavilion, the members of the Ancient Star Sect appeared to be very cold. It was as if they had been prepared for a long time. Each of them gripped their weapons tightly and rubbed their palms together, ready to fight at any time.
The two great forces faced each other in the void. Gradually, a wild gust of wind swept past, causing their robes to flutter. This sound was like a battle horn, arousing the strong fighting spirit of both sides.
"You can kill me, but you can't humiliate me. If worse comes to worst, I'll fight you!" Fan Wu Chen's expression was extremely ugly, and his voice was filled with killing intent.
"Our Wanjian Pavilion has stood tall for thousands of years. Under the sword formation, we are not afraid of anyone. Even the Ancient Star Sect won't be able to take advantage of us!" Qi Yangchen said coldly.
The two of them opened their mouths one after another and immediately aroused the fighting rage of the people in Wanjian Pavilion. In their eyes, all the words and actions of the Ancient Star Sect were just a provocation. They were just trying to damage the reputation of Wanjian Pavilion.
When faced with such actions, all of them were unwilling to continue enduring, and they wanted to fight to the death to protect their final bottom line.
"I agree with Sect Leader Gu's suggestion. You can search as you wish." Just as the group of sword masters were about to make their move, suddenly, Fan Wujie's slow voice sounded in their ears.
Hearing this, the people in the Wanjian Pavilion were all stunned. Even the people from the Ancient Star Sect, who were ready to fight to the death, had strange expressions on their faces as they stared at Fan Wujie. The other party had actually agreed?
"The Wanjian Pavilion and the Ancient Star Sect have always been on good terms. I don't wish to cause a dispute. Since Sect Master Gu insists on searching, then I won't stop you. Please go ahead," Fan Wujie added.
"Pavilion Master …" Qi Yang stared at Fan Wujie with his eyes wide open, only to be met with Fan Wujie's icy cold gaze. The words that had just reached his mouth were immediately stuck in his throat, and he didn't dare to utter another word.
Gu Fanxing narrowed his eyes. He couldn't see through Fan Wujie, but he didn't think too much about it. He immediately signaled to the elders behind him to enter Wanjian Pavilion.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Soon, the sound of something breaking through the air was heard. More than a hundred figures broke through the air and rushed into the Wanjian Pavilion under the watchful eyes of the crowd. More than a hundred figures also rushed out from the Wanjian Pavilion and followed them.
Looking at these figures leaving, the people from both sides had different gazes. Some were unwilling, some were sneering, and some were mocking. These gazes collided in the void silently, but it faintly ignited the flames of battle.
"Sect Leader, could it be a trap?" At this moment, a Yin Yang expert walked over and asked Gu Fanxing. However, his eyes were fixed on Fan Wujie, not daring to move at all.
"Let's wait for the result first." Gu Fanxing shook his head. Fan Wujie's sudden agreement caught him off guard. His gaze fell on Fan Wujie, but he found that Fan Wujie's eyes were slightly closed, and he looked very calm.
This scene made Gu Fanxing very confused. After thinking for a long time, he didn't think too much about it. He stood up and looked at Wanjian Pavilion in the distance, waiting anxiously.
Time passed bit by bit. Not long after, figures rushed out of the 10,000 Swords Pavilion. Seeing these figures appear, everyone's expression shook as they hurriedly cast their gazes over.
After these people landed, Gu Fanxing and Liu Wentian stepped forward at the same time. Before they could speak, they heard someone say, "Sect Leader, there is indeed a weapon hidden in Wanjian Pavilion that can break the Matrix!"
As he spoke, that person opened his palm and a strangely shaped black object appeared in their field of vision. This caused their expressions to change slightly. That black object had appeared in the black scroll before. It was a part of the object used to break the formation.
"Sect Leader, I also found something in Xuanjian Valley!"
"There is also a weapon used to break the Matrix in the Hundred Weapons Hall!"
…
As the voices rang out, they were accompanied by the muffled sound of heavy weapons falling to the ground. Soon, many black weapons appeared on the ground. They were arranged in a row, and it was quite a sight.
The people from the 10,000 Swords Pavilion widened their eyes and looked at the black weapons. They then looked at the people from the Ancient Star Sect who were cold and arrogant. Their expressions kept changing. First, they were puzzled, then they were shocked, and finally, they were embarrassed.
Soft voices rang out from the crowd. They were all expressing their confusion. Among them, many Sword Masters were the same. They secretly glanced at Fan Wujie from the corner of their eyes, and they began to feel suspicious.
Fan Wujie took in the crowd's discussion and expressions. However, his expression was still calm. There was even a faint smile on his face. He stepped forward and said to Gu Fanxing, "Is Sect Leader Gu satisfied with this result?"
"Hmm?"
When Gu Fanxing heard this, his originally cold expression suddenly changed. He looked at Fan Wujie in confusion and said coldly, "Fan Wujie, now that all the evidence is here, what else do you have to say?"
As soon as he said this, everyone's discussion stopped. They all looked at Fan Wujie. The battle intent that had been suppressed with great difficulty once again spread out, causing the space to stiffen. There was also a faint feeling of chaos.
However, Fan Wujie only smiled faintly. He also looked at Gu Fanxing and said with a smile, "All the evidence is here. I have nothing to say, but no one can prove that these black weapons are the evidence."
Hearing Fan Wujie's words, everyone was confused. Gu Fanxing laughed coldly. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Wentian stretched out his hand, indicating for him to keep quiet.
Seeing this, Fan Wujie took a deep breath and continued, "The cause of this entire incident came from the black scroll. These so-called items to break the matrix also came from the black scroll. If the black scroll was forged by someone else to sow discord between Wanjian Pavilion and the Ancient Star Sect, then everything that happened today was just a conspiracy."
"The black scroll came from Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. Because of this, you naturally suspected me and Wanjian Pavilion. However, as soon as Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo handed over the black scroll, the two of them died on the spot. My Light Sword Intent still remained on their bodies. Don't you think that this Light Sword Intent was deliberately left behind?"
Fan Wujie did not stop talking. He continued, "More importantly, because of this black scroll, you led an army of 130,000 to Wanjian Pavilion. In the end, you coincidentally found these items to break the matrix in Wanjian Pavilion. All of this happened very suddenly, very directly, and very smoothly."
"If Wanjian Pavilion really wanted to destroy the Ancient Star Sect, then why did I kill Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo in Sacred Star City? And why did I leave these items to break the matrix in Wanjian Pavilion after killing the two of them? And why did I agree to let you search it?"
His words echoed clearly in the void like jade beads falling into an ancient plate. They entered the ears of the crowd and seeped into their minds, evoking thousands of thoughts.
Just as Fan Wujie said, all of this happened too smoothly. It could be said that there was nothing wrong with it at all. But because of this, it felt a little strange.
It seemed that everything had originated from this black scroll. Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo, who had the black scroll, were already dead. Therefore, all of their actions were just guesses.
Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Fan Wujie let out a slight sigh of relief. He concluded in a serious tone, "From what I see, this black scroll is a chess piece that someone secretly set up. The purpose is to provoke the hatred between Wanjian Pavilion and the Ancient Star Sect. He wants the two sects to kill each other so that he can reap the benefits."
