Unwilling to let go
The Origin Source was the foundation of all things.
In this expanse of the heavens and the earth, there was an endless stream of energy that was all-encompassing. However, to the extreme, all of them came from quintessence energy.
The Origin of Heaven and Earth was divided into seven: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, and Darkness.
Only when the seven forces coexisted and complemented each other would they be able to stabilize the world and create all things.
However, the existence of the Power of Origin was very vague. It existed everywhere in the world, but it was invisible, colorless, and traceless. Only those who had reached the level of Martial Emperor could truly detect the Power of Origin.
This was why when Chu Xingyun saw the Fire Source Mysterious Crystal, he could immediately determine that the blazing flame was the purest Fire Source Energy.
The crystal on the hilt of the broken sword also contained Origin Energy. That light was the Origin Energy. It was very pure and had already condensed into substance. It could be used at will.
"As you can see, the crystal embedded in the hilt of the sword is the legacy of the Wanjian Pavilion — the Light Ray Mysterious Crystal. Part of the power of the legendary ancient sword comes from this." Liu Wentian saw through Chu Xingyun's thoughts and immediately explained.
Chu Xingyun took a deep look at the Light Source Mysterious Crystal. His hand turned into a claw and he directly peeled it off. However, he did not study it in detail. Instead, he kept it in his storage ring.
Shifting his gaze, Chu Xingyun coldly stared at Liu Wentian and said in an indifferent tone, "You took the initiative to tell me these secrets and even gave me the Fire Source Mysterious Crystal. Could it be that you want me to let you live?"
The Origin Energy was the purest energy in the world. Even Martial Emperors would covet it. Liu Wentian took the initiative to hand over the Fire Source Mysterious Crystal and even revealed all the secrets. His actions were really strange.
"I just want to make it up to you."
When Liu Wentian heard Chu Xingyun's words, his expression did not change. He sighed and said, "What happened back then brought you great harm. No matter what you do, I can understand."
"However, as the head of the Liu Family, everything I did back then was for the sake of the Liu Family and the Ancient Star Sect. Even if I could turn back time, I would still not change my decision."
"As a father and an elder, I admit that I owe all of you. This Fire Origin Mysterious Crystal is my compensation to all of you. At the same time, I hope that all of you can continue the legacy of the Ancient Star Sect."
"Right now, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to understand what I'm saying. However, I believe that it won't be long before you understand how I feel."
Liu Wentian handed the Fire Source Mysterious Crystal over to Chu Xingyun. There was a hint of pleading in his eyes. He did not hope that Chu Xingyun would let him go, but he hoped that Chu Xingyun would be lenient so that the Ancient Star Sect could continue.
After all, he was a father, an elder, and the head of the Liu family. As a member of the Ancient Star Sect, there were too many things that were beyond his control.
Buzz!
The Fire Source Mysterious Crystal fell into his palm. In an instant, a warm energy gushed out from the crystal and seeped into his palm. It flowed along his meridians and circulated in Chu Xingyun's body. It made him feel extremely comfortable.
At the same time, a wave of energy gushed out from the Light Source Mysterious Crystal. It was extremely pure and could complement the Fire Source Mysterious Crystal, forming a mysterious resonance.
Chu Xingyun tightened his grip on the Fire Source Mysterious Crystal. When he raised his head, he saw Liu Mengyan and Chu Xingchen walking over slowly.
Liu Mengyan frowned slightly. At this moment, she did not avoid Liu Wentian's gaze. She scanned the crowd below and looked at Chu Xingchen beside her. She sighed and said, "Yun 'er, let's end this matter here."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's body trembled and they all looked over.
"Although what happened back then was painful, the three of us have been reunited. There's no need to kill because of the hatred in the past. No matter what, the Ancient Star Sect and the 10,000 Swords Pavilion have paid a painful price for it." Liu Mengyan's gaze became even gentler. She also let out a sigh and did not want to delve into this matter.
"It's better to squash enmity than to keep it alive. Since the Ancient Star Sect has already repented, there is no need for us to hold on to it. Continuing to kill can indeed vent our hatred. However, such actions will only increase our hatred. The Chu family is the best example."
Ever since he woke up, Chu Xingchen knew about the Chu family's situation. He did not want to see bloodline killing. He wanted to give Liu Wentian and the Ancient Star Sect a chance so that they could coexist peacefully.
Hearing the two's words, a trace of hope appeared on Liu Shiyun's face. However, when she followed Liu Wentian's gaze, she saw that Chu Xingyun's face was still as cold as ever. His pitch-black eyes flashed with a demonic light.
"None of these people can leave here alive!"
A cold voice came out from Chu Xingyun's mouth, causing the hearts of the crowd to freeze. A trace of coldness rose up from the depths of their hearts without any warning.
Chu Xing Yun's eyes were filled with demonic intent as he said coldly, "Back then, you came here with murderous intent and slaughtered hundreds and thousands of people. You wanted to exterminate me. In the Saint Star City, your murderous intent towards me was just as strong. You wanted to kill me as soon as possible. Now, your lives are in my hands, yet you say that you regret your actions and want me to spare your lives. Don't you think this suggestion is ridiculous?"
His voice reverberated in the air, causing the faces of the Ancient Star Sect to turn even uglier. Chu Xingyun did not stop talking. He continued, "Today, the Ancient Star Sect lost more than a hundred thousand people. Their corpses piled up into mountains and their bones were buried in the sea. All of this is related to me. Ask yourselves, in your hearts, do you really only feel regret and not hatred towards me?"
"Nurturing a tiger will eventually lead to a calamity. Today, because of my compassion, I let you live. In the future, it's very likely that you will gather your strength and take revenge on me. Instead of living in fear, I might as well kill all of you right here and now to prevent any future troubles!"
As he finished speaking, Chu Xingyun's entire body was filled with coldness. At this moment, it was as though he had transformed into a true devil. There wasn't a trace of emotion in his eyes, only a malevolent desire to slaughter. He wanted to slaughter everyone here.
"I respect your decision. Come." Liu Wentian seemed to have already guessed that this would be the outcome. However, his face was still filled with unwillingness. He took the initiative to face Chu Xingyun, his turbid eyes slowly closing at this moment.
"Yun-er …" When Liu Mengyan saw this scene, she couldn't bear it anymore. She called out to Chu Xingyun, but the latter turned a deaf ear to her words. His body was shrouded in coldness as he took heavy steps forward.
At this moment, Chu Xingyun's eyes had already been blinded by the devil's will. His heart was filled with the desire to kill. How could he possibly stop? The Black Hole Heavy Sword in his hand was trembling non-stop. The sword's cry was like the howl of a devil, echoing clearly between heaven and earth.
"It's over!" The hearts of the people of the Ancient Star Sect were like dead ashes. They collapsed on the ground, completely giving up on resisting. They were like helpless lambs, waiting for death to descend upon them.
Patter patter …
In the deathly silent space, the sound of Chu Xingyun's footsteps was especially clear. Every step shook the hearts of the people of the Ancient Star Sect. Just when they thought that they were going to die, the sound of footsteps suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, the coldness and killing intent that pervaded Chu Xingyun's body also disappeared. The entire space relaxed and was no longer frozen.
Liu Wentian was stunned for a moment, then he opened his eyes in confusion.
