No More Concealment
After everyone left the Wind Willow Residence, Chu Xingyun's figure flashed as he dashed towards the Punishment Hall.
The Punishment Hall was located in the center of the Saint Star City, not far from the Wind Willow Residence. Chu Xingyun arrived at the Punishment Hall shortly after.
Lu Xing had been waiting outside the hall for a long time. When he saw Chu Xingyun arrive, he immediately stepped forward to welcome him.
"Pavilion Master, please follow me." Lu Xing lowered his voice and scanned the surroundings. Seeing that no one was spying on them, he brought Chu Xingyun into the Punishment Hall and headed straight for the Dark Prison.
The Dark Prison was located in the depths of the Punishment Hall. It was dark and damp all day long. At this moment, the four Patriarchs and the senior members of the family were temporarily imprisoned here.
Rumble!
As the door to the Dark Prison opened, a bone-piercing stench assaulted their nostrils. Lu Xing extended his hand to welcome Chu Xingyun in, but he did not enter. He stood outside the door quietly.
"Pavilion Master Luo Yun has graced us with his presence. Please forgive us for not going out to meet you." Only the four Patriarchs and the senior members of the family were imprisoned in the Dark Prison. When they saw Chu Xingyun arrive, they immediately mocked him.
Although only one night had passed, the four Patriarchs and the senior members of the family were in a sorry state. Their robes were stained, and their hair covered their faces. They did not have their usual luxurious aura. However, they did not mind. They looked coldly at Chu Xingyun.
"I heard that you all caused a ruckus, so I came to take a look. Now it seems that you all have gotten used to living here." Chu Xingyun strode into the Dark Prison and stood indifferently in front of these people.
There were a lot of people in front of him, more than a hundred of them. However, to Chu Xingyun, they were too weak. They were not a threat at all. Naturally, he was not afraid.
"We are already prisoners. It doesn't matter if we are used to living here or not. As long as we are alive, you will never be able to calm the anger in your heart. Don't think that you can make us angry by mocking us. We won't fall for it!" Ou Zhongkui laughed and looked at Chu Xingyun, only to find that Chu Xingyun's eyes had changed, revealing a trace of demonic coldness.
Weng!
In an instant, with Chu Xingyun at the center, a cold demonic intent spread out, enveloping the entire prison. It was as if space had sunk into the abyss of death, causing the atmosphere to become especially ghastly.
"What? You still want to kill us? " Ou Zhongkui's mind was trembling crazily, but his mouth was unforgiving. He was still mocking and ridiculing Chu Xingyun, acting arrogantly.
Hearing this, the three patriarchs and the higher-ups of the older generation stood up one after another. They stood beside Ou Zhongkui, each of them with a gloomy face and an insufferably arrogant posture, vainly trying to suppress Chu Xingyun in terms of aura.
"If I make a move, wouldn't it be too easy for you?" Chu Xingyun swept his gaze over the crowd in front of him and let out a mocking laugh. At this time, he no longer suppressed the demonic intent on his body. The pitch-black sword pattern on his forehead pulsated, causing the void to freeze even more.
The four patriarchs narrowed their eyes. In their field of vision, they saw Chu Xingyun with his hands behind his back. His temperament suddenly changed, becoming as ghastly as a demon. He said coldly, "Eighteen years ago, you ruthlessly killed the Chu family. Not only did you break up my parents, but you also reduced me to an orphan. I was ridiculed by others all day long. Therefore, ever since I became sensible, I secretly swore in my heart that I must find my parents and solve the doubts of the past."
"For this, I left West Wind City and came to the Drifting Cloud Imperial City. Bit by bit, I tracked down clues and accumulated resources. Finally, I rescued my father and found out what happened back then. At the same time, I also found out who my mother was."
Chu Xingyun spoke slowly, but the four patriarchs and the higher-ups of the older generation were not willing to listen at all. Their expressions were full of ridicule, but Chu Xingyun was not angry. Instead, he continued, "In order to find out more about my mother's whereabouts, I changed my name to Luo Yun and entered the Wanjian Pavilion. I became the Honorary Sword Master and secretly investigated, unraveling all the mysteries."
"From then on, I began to secretly make arrangements. Using the gaps of the Six Sects Tournament, I secretly stole all the spirit veins and cultivation resources of the Wanjian Pavilion, and left a scroll in the armory."
Thump!
Hearing this, the mocking expressions of the crowd finally changed. Their pupils suddenly shrank, and they all looked at Chu Xingyun.
"After this plan was set, I went to the Saint Star City and began to participate in the Six Sects Tournament. My calculations were very accurate. Right after the Six Sects Tournament ended, the Wanjian Pavilion would collapse due to the loss of all the spirit veins. As the Pavilion Master of the Wanjian Pavilion, Fan Wujie would definitely rush back to the Wanjian Pavilion at night if he knew of such a disaster."
A smile appeared on the corner of Chu Xingyun's mouth as he continued, "Right after he left, I secretly swapped the gifts of Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo with the spirit diagram of the Great Huzong Formation that you saw. Then, I simulated Fan Wujie's sword intent and killed Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. My goal was to forcibly provoke the conflict between the Wanjian Pavilion and the Ancient Star Sect."
"As for the scroll I left in the armory, it was the spirit diagram that you found. The collapse of the Great Huzong Formation was also caused by me. Both of these were the fuses that caused the Wanjian Pavilion and the Ancient Star Sect to fight to the death. In the end, I was able to reap the benefits and become the biggest winner."
After hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the crowd fell into a dead silence. They were speechless for a long time.
They knew that the bloody battle between the Ancient Star Sect and the Wanjian Pavilion must have been instigated by Chu Xingyun. However, they never thought that Chu Xingyun's plan would be so huge. Moreover, he had planned it for so long and had been plotting against the two great sects for a long time.
Chu Xingyun was very satisfied with the crowd's expressions. His face was cold.
As he walked, he continued to say, "After the bloody battle, the Daluo Golden Sect and Divine Firmament Palace will definitely be watching, and you will take advantage of the chaos in the eighteen ancient cities to crazily plunder resources and power. You will even declare yourselves kings and dominate a region. Am I right?"
"Hmph!"
Hearing this, the four patriarchs snorted in unison. However, they did not deny it because it was the truth.
"I saw through your thoughts long ago. Therefore, I first sent Wu Jing Xue to the Ancient Star Sect to forcefully suppress the chaos. Then, I triggered the endless Beast Tide and let the Beast Tide seal off the eighteen ancient cities and the eighteen dynasties. This way, the Daluo Golden Sect and Divine Firmament Palace will definitely stop spying, and you will not be able to plunder resources wantonly." Chu Xingyun did not continue to hide and told the truth.
Originally, the crowd still had some disdain in their hearts. However, when they heard the words "Beast Tide", they could no longer remain calm. They all opened their mouths and looked at Chu Xingyun in disbelief.
"That's impossible! How could you trigger the endless beast tide by yourself?!"
"The beast tide is so vast. Even the legendary Martial Emperors would not be able to control it. You are simply lying."
"Do you think you can fool us with such a lie?"
