Bury the hatchet
Seclude themselves in the forest?
As Chu Xingyun finished his words, Liu Mengyan and Chu Xingchen frowned. Their eyes were filled with surprise.
After today's bloody battle, the Ancient Star Sect had lost more than a hundred thousand experts. However, the Eighteen Ancient Cities under the jurisdiction of the Ancient Star Sect were not affected at all. There were hundreds of millions of martial artists, and their foundation was still the same.
Under normal circumstances, after Chu Xingyun took over the Ancient Star Sect, he should have handed the Ancient Star Sect to Liu Mengyan to manage. As the former top disciple of the Ancient Star Sect, she was the best candidate in terms of reputation and bloodline status.
However, Chu Xingyun wanted the Ancient Star Sect to seclude themselves in the forest. Moreover, he wanted to use the name of the Wanjian Pavilion to control the Eighteen Ancient Cities and take over all their resources and foundations.
Such an action was tantamount to taking over the entire Ancient Star Sect!
In the face of Liu Mengyan and Chu Xingchen's surprise, Chu Xingyun did not show any signs of embarrassment. It was as if he had expected it. He pondered for a moment, opened his mouth, and said in a serious voice, "Power and profit are the dirtiest things in the world. Many people have killed their wives and children for these two things. What happened in the past is the best example.
"I don't want this to happen again, and I don't want it to happen to our descendants."
His sonorous words made everyone speechless. Liu Mengyan and Chu Xingchen stared at Chu Xingyun. The latter's majestic aura was so real that it made their hearts tremble.
"Moreover, the Ancient Star Sect has been passed down for thousands of years. It is the oldest sect in the Northern Wilderness Region. If you want your family to be long-lasting, you have to live in seclusion and give up on money and power. Only then can you focus on studying martial arts and become an immortal clan that has been passed down for thousands of years!" Chu Xingyun's eyes were deep as he added.
Liu Mengyan glanced at Chu Xingchen beside her before lowering her head and falling into silence. She then raised her head and smiled, "Yun'er, you've already grown up. Since you have your own way of thinking, we naturally won't object."
"I've been separated from your mother for more than ten years. Now that we've finally met, we've learned a lot and seen through many things. Prestige, strength, and power are things we don't pursue, and we don't want to be involved in bloody battles. Leading the Ancient Star Sect into seclusion in the forest and becoming a hidden clan is not a bad choice."
Chu Xingyun also smiled. The understanding in his words caused Chu Xingyun's heart to skip a beat. His eyes were filled with gratitude.
He knew that his suggestion was very sudden. If it was someone else, it would be hard for them to accept.
The saying that all parents in the world forgive their children was true!
"Thank you for your understanding, Father and Mother." Chu Xingyun took a deep breath and bowed to the two of them again. Liu Mengyan shook her head and helped him up. She said softly, "Actually, even if you didn't make such a suggestion, I would have made it myself."
"I grew up in the Ancient Star Sect. I've seen too much of the power struggles between the Eighteen Ancient Cities, the Five Great Clans, and the Clans. I was even reduced to a tool for seizing power. My family was torn apart while I was still alive. I was even imprisoned for eighteen years and almost died in pain and helplessness."
Liu Mengyan let out a sigh and said in disappointment, "The vortex of power is indeed terrifying. Even a Nirvana Realm expert can't escape from it. If Wanjian Pavilion and the Ancient Star Sect coexist, it's very likely that they'll fall into the same situation in the future. Rather than that, letting the Ancient Star Sect live in seclusion in the forest and letting Wanjian Pavilion unify the two regions is also a good choice."
Liu Mengyan and Chu Xingchen had long been indifferent to power. They were more willing to live in seclusion and live a simple and simple life. At the same time, they also knew that Chu Xingyun shouldered the heavy responsibility of saving Shui Liu Xiang.
Merging the Ancient Star Sect into Wanjian Pavilion would not only increase their strength, but also their foundation. This was especially important to Chu Xingyun. Otherwise, just managing the two sects would take a lot of effort, which was obviously not worth the loss.
After getting the consent of the two, Chu Xingyun no longer thanked them. He said seriously, "Tomorrow morning, I'll let Wu Jing Xue and the three thousand Jingtian Army go to Sacred Star City and completely take over the Eighteen Ancient Cities. As for the members of the Ancient Star Sect and the Five Great Clans, I'll leave it to Mother and Mother to make arrangements."
"Okay!" Liu Mengyan agreed. She was the number one genius of the Ancient Star Sect back then. Now that she had entered the Yin-Yang Realm and possessed the Calamity Spirit Pearl, her strength was unparalleled. It wouldn't be difficult for her to take control of the Ancient Star Sect and the Five Great Clans.
What's more, with the help of Wu Jing Xue and the three thousand Jingtian Army, it wouldn't be difficult at all. Anyone who disobeyed would be killed on the spot as a warning to others. Let's see who would dare to disobey.
"By the way, we just saw Shui Qianyue." At this time, Chu Xingchen suddenly changed the topic and smiled at Chu Xingyun, "I didn't expect that you would take her as your disciple. I thought you two would turn against each other."
In the past, Chu Xingchen and Shui Chongxian were engaged to Chu Xingyun and Shui Qianyue.
But after the incident back then, the engagement was canceled. Chu Xingchen also heard from Chu Hu that Chu Xingyun married Shui Liu Xiang instead of Shui Qianyue.
He could imagine that such a decision would definitely cause conflict between Chu Xingyun and Shui Qianyue. But he never expected that Chu Xingyun would take Shui Qianyue as his disciple. There was no conflict at all.
"This matter is rather complicated. I'll explain it in detail in the future." Chu Xingyun was a little embarrassed. His relationship with Shui Qianyue was too messy. Even he himself couldn't sort it out.
Chu Xingchen chuckled. Just as he was about to continue his interrogation, Liu Mengyan glared at him and said, "We won't interfere too much in the matters of you youngsters. But no matter what, from today onwards, the incident that happened back then has been completely resolved. The Chu Family and the Shui Family are in-laws after all, so there's no need to be too calculative."
"I heard that Shui Chongxian is in the Ancient Sword City. If he agrees, we want him to go to the Ancient Star Sect with us. This will be the best explanation to the Shui Family, Shui Qianyue, and Shui Liu Xiang."
Liu Mengyan's words made Chu Xingyun fall silent for a moment. Then, he nodded lightly and said, "It's a good thing that the two families can bury the hatchet. We'll do as mother says."
Hearing this, Chu Xingchen and Liu Mengyan looked at each other and smiled. The knot in their hearts had been untied and they no longer brooded over it.
The family of three gathered in the courtyard and chatted happily for a long time. They talked about the interesting events of the past, their thoughts about the future, and the arrangements of the Ancient Star Sect. They only returned to their residences when the veil of night fell.
After Chu Xingyun returned to the courtyard, he directly entered the Reincarnation Stone.
The empty and vast inner space was as quiet as ever. There was no light and no sound. It was like a place of eternal silence.
Chu Xingyun sat cross-legged on the ground with the pitch-black heavy sword in front of him. Strands of pitch-black light spread out from the huge and thick sword. It was like smoke and mist, and it didn't dissipate for a long time.
"Condense!"
A cold voice sounded. Chu Xingyun suddenly opened his eyes. He formed a seal with his hands and slapped the Black Hole Heavy Sword. Spiritual energy bloomed and filled the entire inner space.
Xiu Xiu Xiu …
Illusory figures suddenly shot out from the Black Hole Heavy Sword. These figures were in human form and had different appearances. They were all the souls of Yin Yang experts. There were a total of 34 of them.
In addition to these 34 Yin Yang souls, there were also two towering figures floating in the void. The figures emitted a faint purple brilliance and were incomparably solid. They were almost no different from ordinary people.
These two towering figures were Fan Wujie and Gu Fanxing. As Nirvana experts, even if their physical bodies were dead, their souls were still very powerful. They were far stronger than the souls of Yin Yang experts.
"Nirvana experts have already touched the truth of heaven and earth. Their souls are difficult to destroy. If it weren't for the Black Hole Heavy Sword, I wouldn't have been able to separate these two souls so easily." Chu Xingyun carefully controlled these souls. He didn't dare to be careless. Although he had a thousand years of experience, his strength was only in the Yin Yang realm. Of course, he couldn't be careless.
"What is that?" At this time, Chu Xingyun let out a soft sound of surprise.
Following his gaze, he saw a glimmer of light flickering in the depths of Fan Wujie's soul. The light wasn't strong, but it emitted a pure aura.
