(After watching a few episodes of In the Name of the People, it was indeed interesting. Once I fell into the trap, I felt that it could be given another name, In the Name of Relationships. The relationships between the characters are really complicated.)
The leaders of the three two-star forces alliance were none other than the Patriarchs of the three forces. All of them received the invitation.
"Brother Li, what is this Clear Cloud Pavilion trying to do?" The Wang Family Patriarch frowned as he shook the invitation in his hand.
"I heard that a new Pavilion Master came to Clear Cloud Pavilion, maybe they want to show off." The Li Family Patriarch laughed.
"Just a teenage brat." The Feng Family Patriarch sneered.
"Then, are we going or not?" The Wang Family Patriarch asked again, placing the invitation on the table.
The three two-star forces formed an alliance, naturally they would advance and retreat together.
"Of course we're going, why not? This is a good opportunity to see what this brat is capable of." The Feng Family Patriarch sneered.
"Since that's the case, let's go together."
… …
The twenty one-star forces also received the Clear Cloud Pavilion's invitation.
However, the more forces there were, the more complicated the internal situation would be. It wasn't as simple as the three two-star forces.
Thus, each of the twenty one-star forces had their own choices. Some felt that there was no need to go, while others wanted to take a look.
… …
Chen Zong's arrival at the Clear Cloud Pavilion and his subsequent appointment as the Pavilion Master was not a secret. The invitation was also not a secret. Thus, the Brilliant Purple House's people gradually learned about it.
"The new Pavilion Master sent by the Blue Cloud Sect is really interesting." The Brilliant Purple House's substitute Pavilion Master sneered.
"What I'm more curious about is why Lin Gu, Lin Zhengyi, and the others are willing." The Brilliant Purple House's Grand Elder also sneered.
"I'm afraid they might not be willing." The Second Elder also sneered, "I think they're planning to kill with a borrowed knife."
"Speaking of which, the Clear Cloud Pavilion didn't send an invitation." The Third Elder rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Then we'll go ourselves." The Fourth Elder also smiled and said, "Let's go and see what's going on in Clear Cloud Pavilion. If they want to borrow a knife to kill someone, it's up to us whether we want to borrow the knife or not. If they don't want to, then it's a good opportunity to scout the way for Young Master."
"That's true. The Young Master is about to arrive and take control of the Brilliant Purple Tower. When the time comes, the alliance of the twenty one-star forces, the alliance of the three two-star forces, and the Clear Cloud Pavilion will either submit or perish." The Second Elder smiled ferociously. His words revealed his absolute confidence in the so-called Young Master.
What was different from the Clear Cloud Pavilion was that the Brilliant Purple Pavilion, from the Pavilion Master to the four Elders, all came from the same force. To be exact, they came from one of the factions in the Brilliant Purple Sect. Therefore, they were more united.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to establish themselves in the Purple Cloud City and obtain 30% of the Purple Cloud Iron's distribution rights.
Today, the Purple Brilliant Sect had sent an order. Someone had come to take over the Purple Brilliant Pavilion. Their purpose was to sweep away all the other forces in the Purple Cloud City and make the Purple Cloud City the only city that belonged to the Purple Brilliant Sect.
If they did it, then the Blue Cloud Sect wouldn't be able to do anything even if they were unwilling. Unless they wanted to start a war with the Purple Brilliant Sect.
Would the Blue Cloud Sect be willing to start a war with the Purple Cloud Sect over a mere Purple Cloud City?
The answer was obvious.
No. Just like how the Purple Brilliant Sect wouldn't start a war with the Blue Cloud Sect over a mere Purple Cloud City.
Therefore, they would see who could take over the Purple Cloud City with their own abilities.
…
The next day, in the main hall of the Clear Cloud Pavilion.
The main hall was very big and spacious. It could accommodate hundreds of people at the same time without feeling crowded.
The praying mats were arranged one by one, separated from each other, waiting for people to sit down.
Chen Zong sat at the head of the table. It was the seat of the Clear Cloud Pavilion's Pavilion Master.
The Clear Cloud Protector, Lin Zhengchun, sat to the left of Chen Zong. The Head Elder, Lin Zhengyi, sat to the right. The Second Elder, Lin Gu, sat below Lin Zhengyi. The Third Elder was called Lin An, and the Fourth Elder was called Lin Quan. Both of them were at the early ninth level of the Foundation Realm. They were promoted by Chen Zong and replaced Wang Yuan and Wang Han.
Because they were promoted to elders by Chen Zong, Lin An and Lin Quan were somewhat grateful to Chen Zong.
"The Wang Family's Patriarch and Second Elder have arrived."
Outside the main hall, someone was in charge of receiving them and shouting loudly.
"The Li Family's Patriarch and Third Elder have arrived."
"The Feng Family's Patriarch and Second Elder have arrived."
Immediately, six people stepped into the main hall one after another. Twelve eyes flickered with rays of light as they quickly swept past. When they saw Lin Zhengchun, these six people were all shocked. Obviously, they recognized who Lin Zhengchun was. It was precisely because they recognized him that they were extremely surprised in their hearts.
Then, they suppressed the shock in their hearts and looked at the head of the table.
It was a green-robed youth who looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old.
In an instant, the six of them knew that the green-robed youth was the new Pavilion Master of the Clear Cloud Pavilion.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master." The six of them cupped their hands.
The Clear Cloud Pavilion, the Brilliant Purple House, and the three families were all two-star forces. In terms of status, the Clear Cloud Pavilion Master was the same as the three family's Patriarchs.
"Everyone, please take a seat," Chen Zong said unhurriedly, his attitude calm.
"The Red Flower Gang's Leader has arrived."
"The Little Knife Gang's Leader has arrived."
More shouts came from outside the main hall.
There were twenty one-star forces, some of them were families, and some were gangs.
In the end, only twelve of the twenty one-star forces came. The other eight hadn't arrived yet.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Chen Zong said again.
"Clear Cloud Pavilion Master, why did you ask us to come here?" The Big Bear Gang's Leader grabbed a fruit and threw it into his big mouth to chew. The juice splattered everywhere as he asked loudly without any trace of politeness.
The Big Bear Gang's Leader was an expert in the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He had been in charge of the gang for a long time, so he had the aura of a superior, or rather, a kind of arrogant self-confidence. This kind of self-confidence would be restrained in front of people who were stronger or had a higher status than him. However, when he faced someone he didn't think much of, it would become even stronger.
For example, right now, the Big Bear Gang's Leader thought that Chen Zong was nothing. At best, he was just a puppet Pavilion Master. Since that was the case, why should he give him any face?
He believed that the people of the Clear Cloud Pavilion wouldn't do anything. After all, a puppet Pavilion Master was just a puppet. There was no need to consider his feelings.
Lin Zhengchun and the others didn't react, which seemed to confirm the Big Bear Gang's Leader's guess. It also confirmed the thoughts of the other leaders.
Chen Zong only glanced at the Big Bear Gang's Leader. His eyes were calm, and his expression was also very calm.
"This Pavilion Master has called you all here for only one thing." Chen Zong's gaze swept over them as he spoke. His voice was neither high nor low and was very calm. However, everyone subconsciously pricked up their ears. It was as if Chen Zong's voice contained an indescribable magic that attracted them. "I want to reorganize Purple Cloud City."
"What did you say …"
"Reorganize … I heard you say reorganize …"
"Hahahaha …" The Big Bear Gang's Leader's laughter was the loudest and most ear-piercing. He grabbed a large piece of barbecued meat and pointed at Chen Zong with a face full of ridicule. "You actually said you want to reorganize Purple Cloud City … You're just a teenager, and your hair hasn't even grown out yet."
"Silence!" Lin Zhengchun suddenly spoke. A terrifying aura surged out and suppressed all other sounds.
The Big Bear Gang's Leader seemed to be choked and couldn't make any sound. His face was pale, and it took him a while to recover.
"You all have two choices." Chen Zong spoke again. His tone and expression were still calm, without the slightest trace of anger. "First, completely submit to the Clear Cloud Pavilion … Second, leave Purple Cloud City … Remember, I'm not negotiating with you, I'm just informing you. As for the eight forces that didn't come …"
Chen Zong didn't finish his words because there was no need to.
Chen Zong's words immediately shocked the three Two-Star Clans and the twelve One-Star Forces.
How arrogant was he to say such ignorant words? Didn't he see that the corners of Lin Zhengyi and the others' eyes were slightly twitching? Only Lin Zhengchun's expression didn't change at all.
Very arrogant, very arrogant.
"Clear Cloud Pavilion Master, some words should be kept in your heart. If you say it out loud, it will only become a joke." The Feng Family Leader spoke, his tone full of sarcasm.
"I walked outside and heard the laughter here. Could it be that something happened? Let me hear it and have some fun." Suddenly, a voice sounded outside the main hall. It seemed to be laughing.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and they were immediately stunned.
A person walked in from outside the main hall. He looked to be in his forties, wearing a purple robe with a picture of a pavilion on it.
This person had his hands behind his back and looked quite imposing. There was a faint smile on his face.
It wasn't a big deal that someone came to the Clear Cloud Pavilion. The problem was, who was it?
The Fourth Elder of the Brilliant Purple House actually came here.
Who didn't know that the Clear Cloud Pavilion and the Brilliant Purple House didn't get along? Otherwise, when the two forces joined forces, they would have already divided the Purple Cloud City.
It was precisely because of this that the two forces formed an alliance and had room to grow. Today, they already had the strength that the Clear Cloud Pavilion and the Brilliant Purple House couldn't underestimate.
"Just now, the Clear Cloud Pavilion Master said that he wanted to reorganize the Purple Cloud City and asked us to submit." The Little Swords Gang's leader rolled his eyes and said with a smile. His smile looked very strange, as if his face was smiling.
Hearing this, the Fourth Elder of the Brilliant Purple House's eyes twitched and returned to normal. However, his heart was very shocked.
It turned out that the Clear Cloud Pavilion wanted to make such a big move.
Reorganizing the Purple Cloud City and making all the forces submit. If they really did it, then the situation in the Purple Cloud City would change and the Brilliant Purple House would be in big trouble.
Thinking quickly, the Fourth Elder of the Brilliant Purple House also calmed down quickly. He felt that the Clear Cloud Pavilion's idea was very good, but the reality was very cruel. The Clear Cloud Pavilion couldn't do it.
Maybe, when the Young Master arrived, he would be able to reorganize the Purple Cloud City and take it in his hands.
"Haha, the Clear Cloud Pavilion Master is indeed a disciple of the Blue Cloud Sect. Such ambition, great ambition." The Fourth Elder of the Brilliant Purple House suddenly laughed, as if he was praising Chen Zong. However, everyone could hear the ridicule and ridicule in his words: "In that case, this Elder wishes you success. Goodbye."
After saying that, the Fourth Elder of the Brilliant Purple House turned and left without hesitation. Chen Zong also didn't have any intention to stop him.
