Compromise?
Under the lead of three middle-aged men, Chu Xingyun arrived at the Ten Thousand Swords Hall.
The Ten Thousand Swords Hall was Fan Wujie's residence. It leaned against a cliff, and behind it was a bottomless abyss. It looked extremely dangerous.
Squeak!
The door slowly opened, and an invisible sword pressure spread out from within.
Chu Xingyun stepped into the hall, and with a sweep of his gaze, he saw the white-clothed Fan Wujie. He smiled at Chu Xingyun and said casually, "Have a seat."
"Luo Yun has disgraced the Pavilion Master's request. If you don't dare, please sit." Chu Xingyun cupped his fists and stood in place without moving.
Fan Wujie smiled faintly and said, "I have heard about the matters of the outer sect. The outer sect has always been a place with many benefits. With your current qualifications, it will indeed be difficult for you to immediately control it."
"I have called you here today to give you a few words of warning. If you feel that this matter is impossible to handle, I can take action on your behalf. This way, your relationship with the three thousand elders and deacons can also be eased."
As he spoke, Fan Wujie sat down, and his tone gradually became more amiable, no longer restrained.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun's eyes flashed. He did not decline, and casually found a place to sit down, and began to narrate the matters that had happened over the past few days.
Inside the Ten Thousand Swords Hall, there were endless conversations.
Outside the Ten Thousand Swords Hall, there were endless discussions.
Many people stood in the air, looking in the direction of the Ten Thousand Swords Hall. They had all heard that Fan Wujie had summoned Chu Xingyun, and gathered here out of curiosity.
"Luo Yun has come out!"
At this moment, the tightly shut door slowly opened.
Everyone's fiery gazes instantly fell. In the next instant, they saw Chu Xingyun's figure walking out of the Ten Thousand Swords Hall. His steps were not big, and they were somewhat slow, without the slightest hint of lightness.
When they looked at Chu Xingyun's face, they saw that he was frowning, and his expression was grave. Occasionally, he would even sigh, giving people a heavy feeling of powerlessness.
"It seems that Luo Yun did not receive any help from the Pavilion Master. Otherwise, he would not have such an expression. It is indeed unrealistic to want to control the outer sect at the age of seventeen." The crowd quickly came to a conclusion from Chu Xingyun's expression.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
"Qingcheng."
At this moment, Chu Xingyun suddenly opened his mouth and said to Xia Qingcheng, "Pass down my order. Tomorrow, all outer sect disciples, regardless of status, are to gather at the Martial Arts Square. No one is to be absent for no reason."
Xia Qingcheng was stunned. Just as she was about to speak, Chu Xingyun added, "If the elders and deacons object, tell them that the power and benefits they want can be negotiated."
Thump!
His calm voice was like an invisible hammer that slammed into the minds of Xia Qingcheng and the others. At the same time, it also slammed into the minds of the crowd, causing them to fall into a daze.
The reason why the three thousand elders and deacons joined forces to resist Chu Xingyun was for their own rights!
At this very moment, Chu Xingyun said that the power and benefits could be negotiated in front of everyone. There was no irreconcilable conflict between the two parties.
This undoubtedly showed that Chu Xingyun had compromised. Faced with the coercion of the three thousand elders and deacons, he had chosen to compromise!
"Luo Yun, do you need to think about it?" Xia Qingcheng said resentfully. Whenever she thought of the ugly faces of Yan Qu and Gu Yufeng, she couldn't suppress the unwillingness and anger in her heart.
The four Sword Masters didn't look too good either. Obviously, they didn't expect Chu Xingyun to compromise so quickly.
"I've thought about it carefully. Pass down my order." Chu Xingyun's lips curled into a faint smile. He took a step forward and ran towards the Sword Master Peak.
Behind him, the crowd hadn't recovered from their shock. After he left, gasps of surprise, astonishment, and sighs resounded from this place and swept through the entire Wanjian Pavilion.
Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, Chang Chixiao's residence.
The group of people sat quietly in the hall, maintaining their silence.
However, if one looked closely, one would see that there was a trace of anxiety on their faces, as if they were waiting for something.
"Family Head, there's news!" At this time, a black-robed man rushed in from outside the hall.
"Speak!"
The group stood up at the same time. Chang Chixiao roared and clenched his fists tightly.
"Not long after Luo Yun entered the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, he walked out. At that time, his expression was solemn and he didn't look pleased at all. Furthermore, he even asked Xia Qingcheng to pass down the order that he would gather all the outer sect members tomorrow. At the same time, he also gave in to the three thousand elders and deacons' demands and was willing to compromise." The man in black took a deep breath and revealed everything.
Instantly, the faces of Chang Chixiao and the others surged with bursts of joy. Teng Qing, Chang Mingyang, and the others even cheered loudly, and they seemed to have gone mad.
"I've said it before, the Pavilion Master doesn't care about managing the outer sect at all. He summoned Luo Yun this time most likely because he didn't want the latter to be too embarrassed and specially gave him a way out." Chang Chixiao burst out laughing. The anger that he had been suppressing in his heart had completely vanished. He felt very happy and comfortable.
"Although Luo Yun obtained the position of champion and established a high reputation, after this matter, his reputation will fall to the bottom. He will not be able to subdue the outer sect disciples, and his position in the Wanjian Pavilion will also plummet." Qi Yang let out a deep breath, and a happy smile bloomed on his face once again.
"With Luo Yun's position plummeting, the chances of us making a move against him in the future will greatly increase. However, we can't underestimate him just because of this. This person has obtained the spiritual materials for the Nine Profound Breaking Yang Pill and has advanced to the Sky Spirit Realm."
Chang Chixiao coughed lightly a few times, and his words carried a trace of warning.
But even so, the joy of their group still spread out. They couldn't wait for tomorrow to arrive and see Chu Xingyun's helpless appearance on the spot.
This would make them feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts. It was even more worth celebrating than breaking through the shackles of their cultivation!
Unlike the noisy shaking of the Wanjian Pavilion, the Sword Master Peak that Chu Xingyun was at was very quiet.
Chu Xingyun descended from the sky. Just as he was about to return to his residence, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and discovered a graceful woman in a blue dress standing at the foot of the Sword Master Peak.
"Shui Qianyue?" Chu Xingyun was shocked. Why was she here?
When Chu Xingyun discovered Shui Qianyue, Shui Qianyue naturally saw Chu Xingyun as well.
Her body flashed and arrived in front of Chu Xingyun. Her eyes didn't dare to look directly at Chu Xingyun. Her two jade-like hands were placed in front of her waist and gently pinched it up and down, as if she was extremely nervous.
"What's the matter?" Chu Xingyun's expression returned to normal as he spoke indifferently.
This sudden voice stunned Shui Qianyue. She took a deep breath and said, "I've heard a lot about you these past few days. I was a little worried about you, so I wanted to come and take a look."
"Thank you." Chu Xingyun nodded and no longer looked at Shui Qianyue. His body released spiritual energy and he was about to return to his residence.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Shui Qianyue suddenly spoke and stopped Chu Xingyun.
She looked at Chu Xingyun's back. Her pretty face had turned a little pale because of her excessive nervousness. She gritted her teeth and said, "Regarding the request of Elder Three Thousand and Deacon, you really chose to compromise?"
The familiar yet strange voice came into Chu Xingyun's ears.
He paused for a moment and then released his spiritual energy again. It turned into the most dazzling white flowing light and tore the night sky apart. Finally, it swept into the Sword Master Peak.
Shui Qianyue was still standing behind him.
She still lowered her head and didn't dare to look straight ahead.
