Chapter 101 - Something Happened to Sword Mountain!
Chapter 101: Something Happened to Sword Mountain!
After all, everyone in the Supreme Purity Sect knew that Gu Xi had caused such a huge commotion during the day, and many other people had also witnessed it.
And now, such a huge incident had happened at Sword Mountain at night.
If there was no relationship between the two, even the Supreme Purity Sect themselves did not believe it, let alone others. Otherwise, there would not have been someone who came to tell Gu Xi about it so early in the morning.
Compared to his excitement and shock, Gu Xi’s expression was much calmer.
Sword Mountain, as the name implied, had swords on the mountain. Everyone had heard about the scene of ‘Return of 10,000 Swords to the Sect’. Since all the swords were around Gu Xi, there was no need for Sword Mountain to exist, not to mention that the original Sword Mountain had long been extracted by him. In the end, it was successfully integrated into the sword embryo.
Gu Xi guessed that this was the reason. He also thought of the group of swords he saw in the dream yesterday. That seemed to be the time when it happened. Perhaps that man was also related to Sword Mountain. Otherwise, he would not have had such a dream by accident.
However, there was one thing that Gu Xi still did not understand. Where did all the Divine Weapons on the Sword Mountain go? He also did not see the whereabouts of the Divine Swords in that strange dream.
He vaguely felt a ball of inexplicable light entering his body. However, there were tens of thousands of weapons on Sword Mountain. How could his body be loaded with all of these swords? Moreover, Gu Xi had not noticed anything strange so far.
Perhaps he was too absorbed in his thoughts, so he did not hear the disciple calling out to him a few times.
“Senior Brother Gu, what are you thinking about? You’re so absorbed in your thoughts.”
Gu Xi shook his head and said calmly, “Nothing, I’m just thinking about who did this.”
The disciple looked at Gu Xi’s expression and did not say anything else. “Elder Wu is waiting for you. Senior Brother Gu, you’d better go over first.”
By the time Gu XI arrived, Wu Huaqing was already running around like an ant on a hot pan.
“You know what happened yesterday, right? Something big happened at Sword Mountain. All the Divine Weapons disappeared without a trace. Even the Sword Mountain had collapsed, as if it had been razed to the ground by an unknown force.”
When Wu Huaqing said this, his eyes were filled with shock. Could this force really be man-made? It could raze the entire mountain to the ground without attracting anyone’s attention. If it was man-made...
He could not help but look at Gu Xi. Then this person’s power was far too terrifying.
It had to be known that the Capital guards were not there to be used as a decoration.
Gu Xi naturally understood the meaning in Wu Huaqing’s eyes. He shook his head and said with an incomparably calm expression, “It wasn’t my doing.”
Although it was not his subjective doing, there were also factors involved. However, Gu Xi would not admit to this sort of thing.
Wu Huaqing could not care less about whether his words were true or not. “Even if I believe you, I’m afraid that the major sects in the Capital will not believe it. You sent out a group of swords during the day, and at night, the Sword Mountain collapsed for no reason. I’m worried...”
Wu Huaqing could not help but sigh. He felt that there were a few more strands of white hair on his sideburns. In the past, he had always hoped that the disciples of the Supreme Purity Sect would be able to shine in the sect and obtain an outstanding performance in the Dao Conference in the Capital.
Now that Gu Xi had appeared out of nowhere and fulfilled this wish, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the Supreme Purity Sect. When things were extreme, they would always turn against each other. However, his feats were so incredible that he wished to keep a low profile.
After all, his heart could not bear it. Just the gazes of those powerful sects and forces put a lot of pressure on him, not to mention having to face the prying eyes from all directions.
Gu Xi understood his concern. “Don’t worry, they don’t have any evidence, and they can’t accuse me of doing it. Otherwise, they would have come looking for trouble long ago.”
These words made some sense. If those sects were really sure that it was Gu Xi, they would have come looking for him in the middle of the night. It was already early in the morning, but there was still no movement.
Either they did not have enough evidence, or they were afraid of the power behind Gu Xi and did not dare to act rashly.
However, it was this peaceful peace that made Wu Huaqing more uneasy. It was like the eve of a storm. The surface of the sea seemed calm, but in fact, there was a turbulent undercurrent.
“These few days, we will do what we should do. The more open we are, the more people won’t be able to catch us. Otherwise, it will make us look guilty.”
Wu Huaqing nodded reluctantly. “Then it’ll be as you said.”
However, the doubts in his heart were not completely erased. “Do you think there’s really such a coincidence in the world? The swords move together during the day, but at night, Sword Mountain no longer exists.”
Gu Xi knew the probing meaning in his words. He just smiled and said slyly, “This is too much of a coincidence. The key is to see what those people think.”
These words seemed to be an answer, but also as if nothing had happened. Looking at Gu Xi’s departing figure, Wu Huaqing’s heart tightened. He did not dare to think about it further.
Regardless of whether this matter had anything to do with Gu Xi or not, he was very worried. Otherwise, his small Supreme Purity Sect would not be able to withstand the anger of those sects and forces in the Capital.
Just the Imperial Family’s accountability was enough to make him suffer.
After Gu Xi left, his expression was pensive. In his half-asleep state, he only felt a ball of light enter his body yesterday, as well as that strange dream he had.
However, he did not see a single one of those Divine Weapons.
“Could it be that they are inside my body?”
Gu Xi was also very surprised, but other than that, he did not know where those swords had gone.
He suddenly remembered a system notification that popped up in his mind yesterday. Since he had lost consciousness, he did not know whether it was an illusion.
Gu Xi’s expression changed. As if he had sensed something, he looked out of the door quietly.
