The Ancient Sect's Retreat
A conspiracy!
The crowd raised their heads and looked at Fan Wujie's confident face. Their hearts were in turmoil.
If what Fan Wujie said was true, that everything was a conspiracy and not the truth, then the mind of the person who set this up was terrifying to the extreme. He had completely played everyone in the palm of his hand.
"Fan Wujie, do you have any evidence for what you said?"
Liu Gu Qiong snorted coldly and said mockingly, "The Wanjian Pavilion and the Ancient Star Sect are the six great powers of the Desolate North. They have stood tall for thousands of years. Who would dare to scheme against two great powers at the same time? All of this is just your guess."
"Family Head Liu is right. These are all my guesses. I don't have any evidence. However, aren't your words and actions also based on guesses?" Fan Wujie retorted, directly meeting the gazes of the people from the Ancient Star Sect.
Gu Fanxing's eyes flickered. He looked at the black scroll, then looked at the black object on the ground. His heart, which was originally filled with anger, suddenly calmed down.
He did not continue speaking. Instead, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then, he looked at Liu Wentian beside him and said, "Elder Liu, what do you think about this matter?"
"What Fan Wujie said does make sense." After a pause, Liu Wentian spoke in a heavy tone.
He took the black scroll and said with a serious expression, "The stalemate between the two sects originated from this black scroll. However, there is no way to verify the authenticity of this black scroll. Moreover, Fan Wujie is right. All of this happened too coincidentally."
From the appearance of the black scroll to the confrontation between the two great sects, it seemed reasonable. However, within this reason, it made people suspicious.
This feeling was as if there was an invisible hand in the darkness that was silently manipulating everything. It calculated all the possibilities and led the two great sects to war.
Liu Gu Qiong's expression froze. He said in shock, "Father, these are all Fan Wujie's refutations. In the Northern Wilderness Region, no one dares to scheme against the two great sects. Even the most powerful Jiuhan Temple would never do such a thing."
"Then, do you have a way to prove the authenticity of the black scroll?" Liu Wentian snorted. His words immediately shut Liu Gu Qiong's mouth. Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo were already dead. How could he prove it?
Hearing Liu Wentian's words, Gu Fanxing's expression became even more serious. He raised his head and saw Fan Wujie's serious expression. He said, "Sect Leader Gu, the Ancient Star Sect and the Wanjian Pavilion have a deep friendship. The Wanjian Pavilion has never thought of wiping out the Ancient Star Sect and destroying the power structure of the Northern Wilderness Region.
"Right now, we have no way of determining the authenticity of the black scroll, nor can we determine who created it. But no matter what, the two great sects should not fight each other. Therefore, I hope that you can return to the Saint Star City first and think about this matter. No matter what doubts you have, I will open the door and welcome you to come and ask."
At the end, Fan Wujie bowed slightly to express his attitude. Now that the Wanjian Pavilion was in a precarious situation, he naturally did not want to start a war.
Moreover, Fan Wujie did feel that something was not right. He felt that someone was secretly plotting against the Wanjian Pavilion. However, because of Gu Fanxing and Liu Wentian, he decided to bear with it for now and investigate further after the situation had stabilized.
"We have indeed been too hasty in this matter." Liu Wentian spoke again with a serious tone. "Let's return to the Saint Star City first. Even if we want to investigate, we should not be so rash. After all, once the two sects fight, there will be no turning back."
Gu Fanxing's eyes narrowed slightly as thoughts flashed through his mind. After a while, he finally opened his eyes and said loudly, "Everyone, listen up. Return to the Saint Star City now!"
As soon as these words fell, it was like a sharp blade that tore apart the frozen and stiff space. The crowd's gazes swept over, and all of them were filled with shock.
Gu Fanxing had led 130,000 experts over from thousands of miles away. Now, they were returning to the Saint Star City just like that. This was hard to accept. They felt that the situation had taken a turn for the better.
"Thank you, Sect Leader Gu." Fan Wujie secretly let out a sigh of relief and continued, "Regarding this matter, I welcome the two of you at any time. I will listen carefully to everything you say and cooperate with you unconditionally."
"Alright, I will remember your words, Pavilion Leader Fan!" Gu Fanxing was still suspicious of Fan Wujie. His voice was cold. He turned around and met the burning gazes of the 130,000 experts. He said again, "Everyone, this matter needs to be discussed at length. Let's return to the Saint Star City for now."
After he finished speaking, he and Liu Wentian looked at each other and then left. As they left, they did not forget to take a deep look at Fan Wujie. However, Fan Wujie's expression did not change. He maintained his amiable appearance, but coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
At this moment, in a dense forest a hundred miles away from the Wanjian Pavilion, there was a sharp sound of something tearing through the air. It tore through the air and created a powerful gale, causing the entire forest to tremble.
The rushing figures were naturally Chu Xingyun's group, who had left the Saint Star City overnight.
Chu Xingyun was at the very front of the group. At this moment, cold demonic intent swirled around him. His figure flickered like a sword, so fast that it was difficult to see him with the naked eye. Even his aura was breathtaking.
On either side of him were Lin Tianchong and Mowang Gong. Unlike Chu Xingyun's coldness, at this moment, there was hesitation in their eyes, and their brows were tightly furrowed.
After a long time, Mowang Gong suddenly reached out to stop Chu Xingyun and said doubtfully, "Little Chu, in order to sow discord between the Wanjian Pavilion and the Ancient Star Sect, you have secretly set up a series of schemes. Although these schemes are exquisite, it seems a bit far-fetched to plot against the two sects."
Before leaving the Saint Star City, Chu Xingyun told everyone the ins and outs of the whole matter without missing a word. He also asked them to immediately head to the Wanjian Pavilion and secretly set up an ambush so that they could take advantage of the situation.
After learning about these schemes, Mowang Gong fell into deep thought. He felt that these schemes were too coincidental and could not stand up to scrutiny. After pondering for a long time, he finally voiced his doubts.
"Fan Wujie and Gu Fanxing are both sect leaders. Their shrewdness is unfathomable, and Liu Wentian is no ordinary person either. They might be able to see through these schemes," Lin Tianchong also had the same thoughts. He was also not optimistic about Chu Xingyun's schemes.
Chu Xingyun steadied himself and shifted his gaze to the two old men who were frowning. He suddenly grinned, "Seniors, you are right. The schemes I have set up are too coincidental and can only deceive ordinary people. If Gu Fanxing and Liu Wentian calm down, they will be able to see through the clues very easily. If my guess is correct, at this very moment, the 130,000 troops of the Ancient Star Sect have already left the Wanjian Pavilion and are preparing to return to the Saint Star City."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tianchong and Mowang Gong's gazes suddenly froze. Not only the two of them, but Wu Jing Xue, Chu Hu, and the others behind them also became very confused.
These schemes were personally set up by Chu Xingyun. Now, he had actually taken the initiative to admit the drawbacks of the schemes and had already guessed that they would not be able to deceive Fan Wujie and Liu Wentian.
