As soon as he finished speaking, the entire space was deathly silent.
Before Chu Xingyun spoke out, they all thought that the people that ascended the Martial Dao arena had obtained Chu Xingyun's favor and would obtain numerous resources and even become elders or deacons that controlled the authority of an area.
But the truth was far from like this. Those 4,000 plus outer court disciples had actually been expelled from the outer court!
The hearts of the 4,000 plus outer court disciples fell to rock bottom, and they were unable to recover from their shock for a long time. Obviously, they'd completely never imagined that what awaited them wasn't glory and wealth, but merciless expulsion. It came so suddenly without the slightest sign.
"Sword Master Luo Yun, directly expelling 4,000 plus people seems to be slightly inappropriate, right?" An outer court elder walked forward with a tone that carried a trace of terror.
It wasn't only him, the surrounding elders and deacons all shot gazes of embarrassment at Chu Xingyun.
Directly expelling 4,000 plus outer court disciples without a single word was something that had never happened in the Wanjian Pavilion.
More importantly, these four thousand people didn't violate any of the rules of the sect. It didn't make sense for them to be expelled for no reason at all. It was very difficult to accept.
"The outer court that I command has never raised idle people. So what's wrong with expelling them like this?" Chu Xingyun's voice was flat, as if he'd known since long ago that someone would ask this question.
As soon as Chu Xingyun finished speaking, the robust young man walked out and questioned loudly, "My cultivation has already attained the 9th level of the Earthly Spirit Realm, and I have some reputation in the outer court. If I'm an idle person, then what are those fellows below the stage?"
Instantly, the gazes of everyone were filled with bewilderment as they looked at Chu Xingyun in unison.
Chu Xingyun didn't get angry and said slowly, "Your natural talent in cultivation isn't weak, but your natural talent in the Sword Dao is extremely poor. It's even to the extent that from a certain point of view, all of you don't like to cultivate the sword at all. The reason you joined the Wanjian Pavilion was only for the sake of obtaining cultivation resources and status."
"No matter how high your natural talent in cultivation is, I don't need such a person."
As his calm voice sounded out, a wisp of paleness appeared on the faces of the four thousand plus outer court disciples. Many of them even opened their mouths wide and appeared to be especially terrified.
The burly young man gritted his teeth and shouted, "Luo Yun Sword Master, you're just trying to frame someone. You haven't been in the Wanjian Pavilion for long, and you haven't even been in the outer sect for a day. How can you see through our thoughts with just your eyes? Aren't you being a little unreasonable?"
"That's right. We joined Wanjian Pavilion to practice swordsmanship. Although the level of our Sword Will is low, we never gave up!"
"We did not violate any of the sect's rules. Even if you are the Sword Master, you have no right to expel us!"
The Outer Sanctum disciples also began to protest loudly. Although they were afraid of Chu Xingyun's ferocious power, they were unwilling to accept the fact that they would be forcibly expelled from Wanjian Pavilion.
Chu Xingyun smiled coldly when he saw the faces of these people.
Sword Intent was a talent in the Way of the Sword.
Its existence originated from Wu Ling, and more importantly, it originated from the most mysterious soul.
A Sword Cultivator was good at the sword and used the sword as a companion.
The two had already formed a bond in the unseen world. Even a child with no cultivation would have Sword Will if he practiced swordsmanship diligently over the years and studied the Way of the Sword every day.
Through a secret method, Chu Xingyun could see through everyone's Sword Will. Among them, there was no light, which meant that they did not have Sword Will. They did not even have the lowest First Level Sword Will.
Therefore, even if Chu Xingyun did not supervise the Outer Sanctum, he could rely on his eyes to know whether these people were Sword Cultivators or not, and whether they had joined Wanjian Pavilion for the sake of improving their Way of the Sword.
"I've already said everything that needs to be said. Tomorrow, you can all leave the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion." Chu Xingyun shifted his gaze away. His voice was so calm that it did not ripple at all.
Although these people kept resisting, he did not pay any attention to them.
Since yesterday, Chu Xingyun had swept away all obstacles and become the true leader of the Outer Sanctum.
For him, the 70,000 Outer Sanctum disciples were his foundation and his advantage. He had to do his best to manage them so that they could gain a foothold in Wanjian Pavilion and carry out a series of secret plans.
The 4,000 disciples in front of him were not good at swordsmanship and had never practiced swordsmanship.
The reason they stayed in Wanjian Pavilion was purely to obtain cultivation resources. Such people were no different from vermin. There was no need to keep them.
Seeing Chu Xingyun so determined, the burly young man said with grief and indignation, "Sword Master Luo Yun, you killed more than 1,500 Elders and Deacons yesterday, which has already destabilized the Outer Sanctum. Now, you are expelling us for no reason. If you do this, the Outer Sanctum will collapse!"
"Although you have the upper hand, Wanjian Pavilion is not a place where you can hide everything. If you can find evidence, we will leave wholeheartedly!"
The Outer Sanctum disciples shouted loudly, unwilling to leave Wanjian Pavilion at all.
In fact, they were feeling a little weak in their hearts.
Chu Xingyun was right. These people were not swordsman cultivators. After joining Wanjian Pavilion, they had never practiced swordsmanship. They only stayed in Wanjian Pavilion to obtain cultivation resources and status.
Such an action was indeed destroying the Outer Sanctum, but it did not violate the rules of the Outer Sanctum, and there would be no evidence left. They wanted to use this point to complain about their grievances.
Chu Xingyun shook his head and said indifferently, "I really can't hide everything from Wanjian Pavilion. As for evidence, I really don't have it. However, when did I say that I needed evidence?"
"Back then, the Pavilion Master handed over the Outer Sanctum to me. Then, the entire Outer Sanctum was under my control. My every move did not exceed my authority. Even if the Pavilion Master was present, he could not stop me."
Hearing these words, the faces of the Outer Sanctum disciples finally changed. The surrounding elders and deacons also felt Chu Xingyun's determination. They moved quickly and rushed toward the martial arts arena.
Not long after, the identity information of more than 4,000 Outer Sanctum disciples was recorded. They were too ashamed to stay there any longer. One by one, they left the place with ashen faces.
Looking at the backs of the more than 4,000 people leaving, the remaining Outer Sanctum disciples were all trembling with fear.
At this moment, they could not see through Chu Xingyun at all.
Regardless of whether it might be the killing of Chu Xingyun yesterday or the expulsion of Chu Feng today, they had both surpassed everyone's expectations. No one knew what Chu Xingyun's intentions were.
"What happened just now is over. Now, I have one more thing to announce." Suddenly, Chu Xingyun's voice rang out, startling the crowd. They all held their breaths and listened carefully.
"After what happened yesterday, the position of Deacon Elder of the Outer Sanctum is vacant. Now, I want to recruit disciples to assist me in managing the affairs of the Outer Sanctum."
Chu Xingyun's voice was deep and everyone could hear it clearly. He paused and added, "However, these disciples, other than being able to listen to my lectures on Sword Principle, have no power, no wealth, no fame, and no benefits. They are no different from ordinary Outer Sanctum disciples."
Thump!
The additional words were like a bolt from the blue, causing the eager Outer Sanctum disciples to frown immediately.
Those who became disciples were responsible for the affairs of the Outer Sanctum. However, they had no power, wealth, fame, or benefits. They could only listen to Chu Xingyun's lectures on Sword Principle. This deal was somewhat difficult to accept.
What's more, many people vaguely felt that Chu Xingyun's action was hiding a secret. His purpose was still to establish the reputation of the Sword Master and reorganize the Outer Sanctum.
Judging from the previous two actions, it was not impossible.
Just as everyone lowered their heads and pondered, a graceful figure walked out from the crowd.
