Demonic Thoughts Retreat
The crowd didn't understand. Chu Xingyun's killing intent was still raging, he wasn't willing to spare anyone. But now, he had changed his mind and was willing to spare everyone.
Liu Wentian wasn't too far away from Chu Xingyun. He inclined his gaze, only to discover that Chu Xingyun was standing in the air, unmoving. His face was twitching unceasingly, and his breathing was incomparably chaotic.
What was even weirder was that Liu Wentian's sharp senses noticed that Chu Xingyun's eyes were flickering with black and white light, as though he was struggling. His aura was faintly discernible, and he no longer had the cold feeling from before.
"What is the meaning of leaving the Northern Wilderness Region for the Abandoned Land?"
"I once read in an ancient book that in the far west of the Northern Wilderness Region, there is a barren region. This region is shrouded in darkness all year round, and there are very few people. The terrain is mysterious, and once you enter it, it is very difficult to come out alive."
"This Luo Yun doesn't want to let us go. He wants us to enter the Abandoned Land and suffer endless pain before dying miserably. His heart is so ruthless!"
The members of the Ancient Star Sect didn't notice the change in Chu Xingyun. They were discussing among themselves, causing their faces to turn even uglier. They didn't seem happy that they had escaped a calamity.
"Luo Yun, you …" Liu Shiyun also felt that there was something wrong with Chu Xingyun. She slowly spoke, but she didn't expect that Chu Xingyun would suddenly raise his head. His eyes were covered in black and white light, like a ghost. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to continue speaking.
Chu Xingyun's breathing became even more urgent. He struggled to move his gaze and said to Liu Wentian, "I won't kill anyone who didn't participate in the incident back then. Now, leave this place immediately and head west to the Abandoned Land!"
"Now?"
Looking at Chu Xingyun's strange appearance, Liu Wentian suddenly had a premonition that Chu Xingyun wanted them to go to the Abandoned Land, not to let them die in pain, but to point out a way to survive.
He paused. Just as he was about to ask Chu Xingyun, he discovered that a wisp of demonic will had once again risen from Chu Xingyun's body. Chu Xingyun's eyes, which had been flickering with black and white light, were gradually turning pitch black and filled with coldness again.
"If you don't go, the only consequence is death!" Chu Xingyun's entire body was filled with coldness. He raised his hand and spoke in a voice as cold as ice, "Everyone, listen to my order. Within ten breaths, anyone from the Ancient Star Sect who hasn't left will be killed on the spot, regardless of their identity!"
The people from the Ancient Star Sect hadn't regained their senses yet. They raised their heads and saw streaks of sword light soaring into the sky. The 3,000 Jingtian Army had unsheathed their swords at the same time, as if they were going to tear the space apart.
At the same time, Lin Tianchong and Wu Jing Xue also moved. One of them transformed into a lightning shadow, while the other condensed his will into the head of the evil dragon. Although they didn't understand Chu Xingyun's decision, they didn't ask any questions and directly pushed their auras to the maximum.
A rumbling sound could be heard. This sound was the sound of spiritual energy wreaking havoc. Suddenly, the heavens and earth, which were already riddled with holes, were once again plunged into disaster. Every inch of space was filled with malevolent killing intent, piercing the bodies, minds, and even souls of the people from the Ancient Star Sect!
Drip!
A drop of nervous cold sweat slid down Liu Wentian's forehead. Before it could touch the ground, it was crushed by the chaotic killing intent.
He looked deeply at Chu Xingyun and took a few deep breaths to suppress the fear in his heart. He immediately turned around and said to the people from the Ancient Star Sect, "Everyone, listen to my order. Follow me … to the Abandoned Land!"
Liu Wentian's words were filled with an irrefutable meaning, causing the crowd to stop talking. They gritted their teeth and glared at Chu Xingyun with resentment and unwillingness.
However, in the end, all the people from the Ancient Star Sect didn't resist and left the place one after another. The originally chaotic and noisy space once again fell into a dead silence.
Chu Xingyun stood on the spot and looked into the distance until the people from the Ancient Star Sect disappeared completely. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.
At this time, his forehead was actually covered with dense beads of sweat!
"Yun 'er." Liu Mengyan walked over. Her eyes were filled with worry as she asked slowly, "What happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"Letting the people from the Ancient Star Sect go to the Abandoned Land may seem like a dead end, but in reality, it's a way to survive. Only by leaving the Ancient Star Sect and the Northern Wilderness Region can they truly start afresh and suppress the hatred between the two sides to the minimum."
"You clearly intended to let them live. Why didn't you explain yourself and even let them leave in such a hurry? Yun 'er, are you hiding something from us?"
Liu Mengyan and Chu Xingyun had only known each other for a short time, but as his mother, she could feel that Chu Xingyun seemed to be in a lot of pain when he spoke. It was as if he was struggling bitterly.
"Mother, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me." In the face of Liu Mengyan's concern, Chu Xingyun shook his head. His eyes turned black again, and there was no longer a trace of struggle in his body.
In fact, Chu Xingyun, whose mind had been eroded by the Demonic Will, would never treat his enemies with kindness. It was the same for the people from the Ancient Star Sect.
Just now, he had the intention to kill, but just as he was about to make a move, the remnant soul of the Sword Spirit that he had just devoured suddenly began to be digested and integrated into every inch of his body.
The legendary ancient sword and the Black Hole Epee were both swords of destiny. One was light while the other was darkness. Although the former was far inferior to the latter, it could still suppress the Black Hole Epee and the endless cold Demonic Will.
After the remnant soul was digested, the light power of the legendary ancient sword was integrated into Chu Xingyun's body. At this moment, he successfully suppressed the Demonic Will. That was why he said those words and asked the people of the Ancient Star Sect to go to the Abandoned Land.
After all, the real Chu Xingyun was not a bloodthirsty person. He had to let the people of the Ancient Star Sect leave before the Demonic Will eroded his mind again. The desolate Abandoned Land was the best and only place to go.
This seemingly short decision was extremely difficult for Chu Xingyun. Chu Xingyun was unwilling to confide in Liu Mengyan about all of this. He was afraid that she would be worried and scared.
The Demonic Will of the Black Hole Epee was too terrifying. Even Chu Xingyun, who had thousands of years of experience, could not resist it. Once everyone knew about this, it would only lead to meaningless chaos.
Chu Xingyun naturally did not want to see such a scene.
Chu Xingyun's answer did not make Liu Mengyan give up completely. Just as she was about to speak, Liu Mengyan reached out and put his hand on her shoulder. He said slowly, "Yun 'er has already grown up. He must have his reasons for everything he says and does. Why do you have to ask so much?"
"Moreover, for both sides, this is already the best outcome …"
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun kept comforting Liu Mengyan. Liu Mengyan thought for a moment and felt that what he said made sense. She looked at Chu Xingyun apologetically.
"Let's end this matter here." Chu Xingyun naturally did not care about this. He looked away and said to Wu Jing Xue, "These people from Wanjian Pavilion are still useful. Take them back to Wanjian Pavilion for the time being. As for cleaning up the battlefield, I'll leave it to you. You must not be careless."
"As for Senior Lin, immediately inform Senior Mo and have them remove the seal. Also, have everyone settle down in Wanjian Pavilion. They must be tired after such a long battle."
"Okay!" Wu Jing Xue and Lin Tianchong responded at the same time. Without saying anything more, they immediately went their separate ways.
Soon, under the mobilization of everyone, the space became noisy again. Chu Xingyun stood at a high place and looked at the blood-stained mountains. He opened his mouth and let out a long sigh of relief.
But at this moment, a chaotic sound suddenly exploded in front of Chu Xingyun. He looked over and saw a burly young man covered in blood break through the crowd and stride towards him.
