A sudden turn of events
The group of people looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion. However, the smile on Chu Xingyun's face grew thicker and thicker. His entire person was filled with mystery.
"Young Master, could it be that you still have some tricks up your sleeve?" Tiger Chu was most familiar with Chu Xingyun. With the latter's temperament, he wouldn't act rashly if he wasn't completely confident. There was definitely something hidden here.
Chu Xingyun nodded slightly, "Do you still remember that I only suppressed the inner part of the Sacred Star City with the Ten Thousand Stars Ancient Pattern? Not only did I not suppress the outer part of the city, I didn't even eliminate the flying beasts?"
"What does this have to do with the layout?" Wu Jing Xue asked impatiently. He had naturally noticed this, but he did not say anything at the time.
It should be known that all the masters of the Ancient Star Sect had gathered into an army and were rushing towards the Wanjian Pavilion. The people outside the city were just ordinary warriors with weak strength. He didn't care about these weak people at all.
Hearing Wu Jing Xue's question, Chu Xingyun laughed even more happily. He continued, "The reason why Liu Wentian and Gu Fanxing were suspicious is very simple. All their speculations came from the black scroll I left behind. During the whole process, there was no witness to prove whether or not Wanjian Pavilion wanted to destroy the Ancient Star Sect."
"As a result, I purposely held back when I could have suppressed the entire Saint Star City. My goal was to leave behind a precious witness. As long as the witness spoke and said what he had seen and heard, Liu Wentian and Gu Fanxing's suspicions would vanish. It might even turn into fury, burning away their last shred of rationality."
The people present were not stupid. When they heard Chu Xingyun's words, they all grasped the main point. But at this moment, Chu Xingyun did not say anything more. He took a step forward and continued to rush in the direction of Wanjian Pavilion.
Looking at Chu Xingyun's back, the crowd was stunned for a moment. Then, a bitter smile appeared on their faces. At that moment, they no longer had any doubts. One by one, they rushed forward and quickly followed.
While Chu Xingyun and the others were on their way, in a dense forest not far from the Wanjian Pavilion, the mighty army of the Ancient Star Sect was marching quickly, preparing to return to the Sacred Star City.
At the very front of the group was Gu Fanxing and Liu Wentian. The two of them whispered to each other as they ran. From time to time, they would take out black scrolls as if they were studying something.
Beside the two of them were the 18 Yin Yang experts. They were all frowning as they analyzed the situation.
"There are many suspicious points in this matter. Before we have conclusive evidence, we absolutely cannot act rashly." Liu Wentian spat out a heavy tone, and at the same time, let out a long sigh of relief.
After listening to Fan Wujie's analysis, the more Liu Wentian thought about it, the more he felt that there was something fishy about this matter. He now felt very fortunate that he was able to forcefully stop the two sects before a battle to the death broke out. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"That's right. This matter concerns the two sects. We can't be reckless. This time, we handled it too rashly and were blinded by anger." Gu Fanxing sighed again and again. He shifted his gaze and looked at the black scrolls again.
"Even so, we can't rule out the suspicion of the Wanjian Pavilion. With Fan Wujie's shrewdness and methods, it's very likely that he's bluffing to disrupt our formation." Liu Guqiong's voice rang out. He was still stubbornly holding onto Fan Wujie.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sound of something breaking through the air suddenly came from not far away. A dazzling starlight rushed straight towards the crowd and finally landed in the dense forest.
"Golden-feathered Starlight Eagle?" The crowd looked over and couldn't help but cry out in surprise. The dazzling starlight was a giant eagle bathed in starlight. This eagle was bred by the Ancient Star Sect, and only members of the Ancient Star Sect could freely control it.
Gu Fanxing suddenly had an ominous premonition. He quickly rushed over, but saw a middle-aged man with a tired face crawling on top of the giant eagle. His aura was weak, and it was obvious that he had exhausted all his strength.
"Sect Master!" The moment the middle-aged man saw Gu Fanxing, a sorrowful expression immediately appeared on his face. Hot tears even rolled down from his eyes. He looked extremely miserable.
"Liu Qingteng, why are you here?" Liu Guqiong could not help but exclaim when he saw the middle-aged man's face clearly. This middle-aged man was a member of the Liu family. His status was not high, and he was only a small steward.
When the middle-aged man heard Liu Guqiong's words, his expression became even more sorrowful. He looked at the members of the Ancient Star Sect and said in a trembling voice, "Yesterday, the Huzong Great Formation was broken. Thousands of stars fell, and the world shook. Countless people died. The entire Sacred Star City is already in a storm. If I didn't escape in time, I'm afraid I would have died …"
"What!"
This news was like a bolt from the blue, deeply bombarding the minds of the crowd. Their gazes froze, and some of them even went limp and almost fainted.
Gu Fanxing took a step forward and directly came in front of that person. His eyes, which were originally filled with wisdom, turned red. He hurriedly said, "What did you just say? What happened in Sacred Star City?"
That person was shocked by Gu Fanxing's expression. At this moment, Liu Wentian stepped forward and grabbed Gu Fanxing with one hand. He said to Liu Qingteng, "Don't panic. Tell us the whole story slowly."
As he spoke, Liu Wentian's body emitted a dense aura that pressed down on everyone's body, causing them to calm down. However, even so, everyone's eyes were emitting a scarlet red light that was extremely terrifying.
Liu Qingteng nodded and took a deep breath. "That day, not long after you left Sacred Star City, a sword light suddenly bloomed in the city. Under the spread of this sword light, the Huzong Great Formation went berserk. Thousands of stars fell, and the entire city began to shake, causing a deafening sound.
"Such a loud sound naturally attracted thousands of experts. However, the appearance of thousands of experts did not stop the riot. On the contrary, more and more rivers of Spirit Qi appeared, destroying the eyes of the Huzong Great Formation. The entire Huzong Great Formation became dim and even lost all of its functions!"
Speaking of this, Liu Qingteng felt countless cold lights sweep down. His body could not help but tremble as he said, "After the Huzong Great Formation was destroyed, the terrifying riot continued to spread. I could even hear some mournful cries …"
"Damn it!"
Gu Fanxing could not suppress the raging anger in his heart. He clapped his hands and the terrifying aura of a Nirvana Realm expert burst forth, leaving a deep crack in the ground. All the ancient trees within a hundred-meter radius were destroyed, causing wood chips to fly everywhere.
"Not long after the army left, the Huzong Great Formation was completely destroyed. Sword light flashed, starlight fell, and there was even a massacre. It seems that we have all been fooled by Fan Wujie." Maniacal laughter came out of Gu Fanxing's mouth. Although he was laughing, it was a laugh of anger. His eyes were filled with madness, and he was like a wild beast.
This time, Liu Wentian, who originally felt that something was wrong, did not say anything to stop him. His eyes were also burning with anger and hatred.
From his point of view, the Ancient Star Sect's Sect Protection Formation was extremely vast and enormous. In order to completely destroy this formation, they would need to gather countless experts. Moreover, they would only have a chance if they worked together meticulously.
In the entire Northern Wilderness Region, only the six major sects could have such power.
However, only the Wanjian Pavilion could destroy the Great Formation with sword light so easily. This was because they had the Great Huzong Great Formation's spirit diagram in their hands. They knew the flaws of the Great Formation and also had the weapon to destroy it!
Other than the Wanjian Pavilion, they could not think of anyone else who could destroy the Great Huzong Great Formation so easily!
"When we just left Sacred Star City, they destroyed the Great Formation and massacred everyone. Then, they rushed back to Wanjian Pavilion at full speed and lied to us, telling us to retreat."
"When we returned to Sacred Star City, we were both physically and mentally exhausted. When we saw the tragic scene in Sacred Star City, we were definitely shaken. At this time, Fan Wujie led his people and attacked with the Great Formation, catching us off guard."
"The black scroll and the weapon to destroy the Great Formation are all real. All of this, including the deaths of Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo, was part of Fan Wujie's plan. We fell into his trap and became Fan Wujie's pawns!"
The eighteen Yin Yang experts were shocked. Their voices were filled with anger and unwillingness. None of them were calm anymore. Their red eyes moved slightly as they stared in the direction of Wanjian Pavilion.
Liu Wentian's body was also trembling.
He looked at Gu Fanxing and clenched his fists, which were hidden in his sleeves, and said, "Now that we have evidence and witnesses, let's return to Wanjian Pavilion and demand an explanation from Fan Wujie!"
Liu Wentian's words immediately enraged everyone. They all stood up with anger burning in their hearts. When they looked at Gu Fanxing, Gu Fanxing shook his head.
His eyes were filled with cold killing intent as he looked at Wanjian Pavilion. His voice was like ice that would never melt, freezing the air. He spat out, "Since we have evidence and witnesses, why waste time and demand an explanation from Fan Wujie?"
