Strong Resistance
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun's face immediately darkened.
He did not say a word and walked out.
Before he stepped out of the courtyard, he could clearly feel a strong aura pressing down on him from the void in front of him. Countless figures stood there facing the strong wind.
Chu Xingyun could clearly see that there were a lot of people, more than three thousand of them. They were all outer court elders and deacons.
Moreover, other than these people, he did not sense any aura from the outer court disciples. Not even a single one.
This scene made Chu Xingyun's face turn even uglier.
"Luo Yun is finally out!"
Just as Chu Xingyun stepped out of the courtyard, the crowd started to clamor. Thousands of people stepped forward, causing the ground to tremble slightly. The stiff atmosphere made people feel uncomfortable.
"What is the meaning of your actions?"
Chu Xing Yun glanced at the crowd. There was no fear on his face. He said coldly, "Today is supposed to be the day of the outer sect's gathering. However, you all came together and surrounded the Sword Master's Peak. You didn't gather anyone. Are you disobeying my orders?"
His voice was like thunder, spreading far and wide. Every word and sentence was extremely clear. Even those outside the Sword Master Peak could hear it clearly. Instantly, it attracted the attention of countless people.
However, the crowd did not answer. They all stared at Chu Xingyun calmly.
Chu Xingyun's face turned cold. His eyes were like sparks as he immediately found two familiar faces. He said in a deep voice, "Qi Yue, Mo Cheng Yun, how dare you go against me!"
He pointed his halberd, causing Qi Yue and Mo Cheng Yun's faces to tremble. However, they did not say anything. They only shrunk their necks and hid behind the crowd.
Chu Xingyun was furious. Just as he was about to attack, the crowd automatically opened up a path. Two old men slowly walked out and stopped in front of him.
"Yan Qu, Gu Yu Feng." These two names appeared in Chu Xingyun's mind at the same time.
There were more than three thousand elders and deacons in the outer court. They worked together to manage the affairs of the outer court and also to maintain the relationship between the Eighteen Dynasties and the Wanjian Pavilion. It was quite complicated.
Among the deacons, Gu Yu Feng and Mo Cheng Yun had the highest prestige.
Among the elders, it was Yan Qu and Qi Yue.
At this moment, Yan Qu and Gu Yu Feng stood out at the same time. They must represent the attitude of the deacons and elders.
"Today's matter has nothing to do with Elder Qi and Deacon Mo." Yan Qu looked and looked straight at Chu Xingyun. He Xingyun and said said, "Our purpose is simple, to protect our rights....."
"That's right, it's only to protect our rights and interests!" The crowd shouted at the same time. Their voices were like thunder, shaking up the clouds and mist.
Chu Xingyun frowned deeply, but he did not say anything. He just listened quietly.
"In the Heavenly Sword Trials, Sword Master Luo Yun won two big bets and has full authority over the outer court. Seven days ago, you ordered us to hand over our real power and reorganize the outer court. This is naturally a good thing for you, but the three thousand of us cannot accept it!" Yan Qu's voice suddenly changed. There was a hint of reprimand.
"There are seventy thousand disciples in the outer court. The affairs are very complicated, and the real power involved is also incomparably huge. The three thousand of us have been in charge of the outer court for many years. We have divided the work and have never made a mistake. Once you appear, you want to seize all the real power and become the head of the sect. Such ambition is simply too huge. It is simply infuriating!" Gu Yu Feng immediately added.
Xia Qingcheng stood beside Chu Xingyun. Her face was also very dark. She shouted, "Luo Yun has obtained the permission of the Pavilion Master to take over the outer court. This real power belongs to him. How can you say that he wants to seize it?"
"Taking over the outer court does not mean that he must have real power. If he wants to become the head of the sect, we have no objections. However, we still have the final say on how to manage the outer court!" Gu Yu Feng sneered and looked at Xia Qingcheng mockingly.
Xia Qingcheng's face changed drastically. Before she could say anything, Yan Qu sneered and said, "I just said that the affairs of the outer court are very complicated. The three thousand of us have to divide the work and work together to run the outer court. The difficulty of this cannot be explained in a few words."
"Firstly, the Luo Yun Sword Master is still young. In terms of cultivation talent, he is naturally tyrannical. However, in terms of management, he is still very inexperienced. If he takes over the real power alone, the outer court will definitely fall into chaos."
"Secondly, we do not want to go against the Luo Yun Sword Master. He is still the head of the outer court and has a part of the real power. However, as for how to manage it and how to divide the benefits, we still have to follow our rules. This way, he can cultivate in peace and we can continue to work without interfering with each other."
After saying this, Chu Xingyun sneered in his heart.
The purpose of these people in front of him was not to protect the real power, but to protect the benefits.
There were many people and matters in the outer court. Furthermore, it was not valued by the Wanjian Pavilion. The shady business of the inner court was already deeply rooted. It could even be said that it was closely linked and implicated the entire structure.
Once Chu Xingyun took over all the real power, the net of benefits that they had painstakingly maintained for many years would completely collapse. Therefore, these people came together to surround the Sword Master Peak.
"You make it sound nice. Isn't your purpose for benefits?" Xia Qingcheng was born in a royal family. She was able to see through the thoughts of these people very quickly and sneered.
Suddenly, Yan Qu and Gu Yufeng's expressions changed slightly. The crowd behind them also emitted a cold aura.
"You are right. It is indeed for benefits."
Yan Qu smiled and no longer concealed his thoughts. He said frankly, "Luo Yun Sword Master, today, more than 3,000 of us have come here. Our request is very simple. You can continue to be the Sword Master, and we will continue to manage the outer court. We will not interfere with each other and will not affect each other."
"If you insist on seizing real power and cutting off our net of benefits, we will naturally not dare to disobey. However, as the price, over three thousand of us will leave the outer sect at the same time and hand over all the real power to you without leaving a single cent behind."
"However, when that time comes, the outer court will be in a mess. Not to mention whether it can maintain the Eighteen Dynasties and Wanjian Pavilion, it is still unknown whether it can barely operate. Just like today, if we did not take the initiative to speak, you would not be able to gather even one of the 70,000 outer court disciples!"
Weng!
After he finished speaking, Chu Xingyun's body emitted a cold aura that pressed down on Yan Qu. He said coldly, "You are threatening me."
"That's right. This is a threat." Yan Qu replied in a deep voice. After he finished speaking, more than 3,000 people behind him took a step forward at the same time. Their imposing aura blocked Chu Xingyun's aura.
"The 3,000 of us will advance and retreat together. If you want to punish us, you can punish us all together!"
Gu Yufeng faced Chu Xingyun and said in a loud voice, "However, I will still say the same thing. The outer court can continue to operate without you, Luo Yun. However, without us, it will definitely fall apart."
After he finished speaking, the crowd stepped forward again.
That aura had already pressed down on Chu Xingyun. Even Xia Qingcheng, who was beside him, found it difficult to breathe. Her face was extremely pale.
Chu Xingyun stood on the spot without any expression on his handsome face.
However, Xia Qingcheng could feel that Chu Xingyun's heart was filled with coldness at this moment. He had already been forced into a corner by this group of people.
It wasn't easy for him to obtain the position of the chief and have full authority over the outer court. However, who would have thought that these elders and deacons would join forces and threaten him in order to protect their own interests?
The prestige of the Sword Master was in imminent danger!
The most helpless thing was that Chu Xingyun couldn't punish them.
More than 3,000 people advanced and retreated together. Once Chu Xingyun took action, they would all leave the outer court and the outer court would collapse.
Even if Chu Xingyun could control all the authority, it would be meaningless.
However, it would be difficult for him to maintain the outer court's operations with his strength alone. At that time, it would only become a bigger joke.
At this moment, Gu Yufeng spoke again, "We've already said what we should say."
He still looked coldly at Chu Xingyun and said in a cold voice, "As for the specific choice, it's all up to Sword Master Luo Yun. When you've thought it through, come find us. We'll wait for your arrival in the outer court."
With that, he turned around and made a gesture to leave.
Rumbling footsteps sounded. The 3,000 people didn't fly away. Instead, they chose to walk out of the Sword Master's Peak step by step.
They straightened their backs and raised their heads. There wasn't the slightest respect on their faces. Instead, they were like generals who had returned victorious, showing off their pride.
In their opinion, the law didn't punish the masses.
As long as they joined forces, they would be able to easily intimidate Chu Xingyun.
After all, in their eyes, although Chu Xing Yun's talent was strong, he was only a seventeen-year-old young man. As long as he used some tricks, he could achieve his goal.
Today, they succeeded.
More than 3,000 people surrounded the courtyard and threatened him in front of everyone.
After that, they even swaggered away in front of Chu Xingyun.
