One Word Deprivation
"What's going on?"
Looking at the purple-clothed middle-aged man's flustered back, the crowd couldn't help but be puzzled. This purple-clothed middle-aged man was an elder of the Duan Family, and his cultivation had already reached the third level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
However, he actually obeyed the black-clothed youth's absurd request, which didn't seem to make sense.
"You can still be so calm when facing Uncle Yun. It seems like you are also a Heavenly Spirit Realm expert." He felt that Chu Xingyun was also a Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator, and was a level higher than the purple-clothed middle-aged man. That was why he could order the purple-clothed middle-aged man around.
However, the smile on his face became even wider as he said, "I've never seen you before, so it can be seen that you are not a member of the five great families. In that case, you should be a rogue cultivator who wants to rely on the Ancient Star Sect to obtain status and power."
"You are very young, and your talent is not weak. If it was anyone else, they might have forgiven your rudeness. However, my parents dote on me very much. If you provoke me, the only outcome is death, and it will be an extremely ugly death!"
"Is that so?"
Chu Xingyun laughed nonchalantly, causing the crowd to be shocked again. At this time, more and more people gathered, and some of them recognized Chu Xingyun's identity. Although they were surprised, they didn't expose him, and instead looked at Duan Feng with schadenfreude.
Not long after, a tyrannical pressure came from afar. The crowd raised their heads and saw a group of figures quickly passing by. In the lead was a man and a woman. Their auras were vigorous as they directly landed in front of Chu Xingyun.
"Greetings, City Lords!" As soon as the two of them landed, the surrounding crowd bowed. Obviously, they were Duan Yunqing and Ou Rouyin, the Ancient City's Lords and Duan Feng's biological parents.
"Father, mother, you're finally here." Duan Feng was still trapped and couldn't move, but his head was slightly raised. As he spoke, he would occasionally glance at Chu Xingyun with an insufferably arrogant attitude.
However, Duan Yunqing and Ou Rouyin did not reply. They did not even look at him. Instead, they looked at Chu Xingyun. Their faces darkened and became extremely ugly.
The group of people following behind them were all high level members of their families. The purple-robed middle-aged man was among them. They all knew Chu Xingyun's identity, so they didn't dare to move or speak. Their hearts were violently trembling.
"Star Gathering City's City Lord, Duan Yunqing, greets the Pavilion Master."
"Floating Star City's City Lord, Ou Rouyin, greets the Pavilion Master."
Duan Yunqing and Ou Rouyin took a step forward and bowed to Chu Xingyun. Although their voices were not loud, they were incomparably clear and entered the ears of the crowd, causing the surrounding space to become deathly silent.
The two City Lords actually took the initiative to bow to Chu Xingyun and even called him Pavilion Master?
It should be known that since the decline of the Ancient Star Sect, countless people had been abandoned. The Ancient Star Sect was controlled by the Wanjian Pavilion. The only person who could call himself the Pavilion Master was Chu Xingyun.
The same thought appeared in the hearts of the crowd. In an instant, their faces became deathly pale. They immediately knelt on the ground, lowered their heads, and shouted, "Pavilion Master!"
The grand and loud voice shook Duan Feng's mind until it went blank. His eyes were still fixed on Chu Xingyun, but there was only shock and fear. The black-robed young man he had ridiculed just now was the new Pavilion Master of the Wanjian Pavilion?
"Duan Yunqing, not only did Duan Feng attack me, but he also said that he would spare my life and torture me. What do you think?" Chu Xingyun looked at Duan Yunqing. His eyes were so sharp that Duan Yunqing didn't dare to look directly at him. He could only lower his head and speak in a depressed tone.
As the City Lord of Star Gathering City, Duan Yunqing was no stranger to Chu Xingyun. He knew how terrifying this person was. His status wasn't weak. He was the City Lord of a City and an elite of the Duan Family. He had the potential to inherit the position of Patriarch of the Duan Family. However, compared to Chu Xingyun, he was as insignificant as an ant.
Without waiting for Duan Yunqing to speak, Ou Rouyin slowly raised her head and said flatteringly, "Duan Feng is young and doesn't know etiquette. I hope Pavilion Master can forgive him. I will definitely discipline him."
"Did I speak to you?" Chu Xingyun glanced at Ou Rouyin. His voice was so cold that it made Ou Rouyin feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Duan Yunqing trembled and replied, "May I ask how Pavilion Master will deal with Duan Feng?"
"Right now, the Beast Tide is surrounding the city. Chaos is everywhere inside and outside the Sacred Star City. Not only did Duan Feng not stop the Beast Tide, he even acted tyrannically in the city and trampled on the lives of others. Such actions should be executed on the spot!"
Chu Xingyun calmly said. His words were like a bolt from the blue, shaking the hearts of Duan Yunqing and Ou Rouyin. Chu Xingyun wanted to kill Duan Feng?
"As City Lords, the two of you should know the situation of the Beast Tide very well. However, you allowed Duan Feng to act tyrannically and even encouraged his violent nature. From this moment onwards, the two of you will be stripped of your City Lord positions," Chu Xingyun spoke once again, causing the originally deathly silent space to instantly become eerie.
Chu Xingyun not only sentenced Duan Feng to death, he also wanted to strip Duan Yunqing and Ou Rouyin of their City Lord positions!
"Luo Yunzhi's temperament is indeed as the rumors say. He is tyrannical, fierce, and disdainful of family power. The moment he opened his mouth, he gave such a forceful order."
In the crowd, there were people who had long since recognized Chu Xingyun's identity. However, they had never imagined that Chu Xingyun's words and actions would be so forceful. He completely ignored Duan Yunqing and Ou Rouyin, as well as the Duan and Ou Families.
"Duan Yunqing and Ou Rouyin encouraged Duan Feng's arrogance many times. Even if Duan Feng killed someone in a rage, they did not pursue the matter. They only have themselves to blame for their current situation."
"Duan Feng held a King Artifact whip and rode a Berserk Colt. He had already endangered many lives and was sentenced to death by the Pavilion Master. Even death cannot wipe out his crimes."
Noisy discussions spread out. Although the crowd was surprised by Chu Xingyun's forceful order, they all applauded and cheered. Only those from the family clans had ugly expressions as they submissively took a few steps back.
"Star Gathering City and Hanging Star City have always been under the control of the Duan and Ou Families. Our positions as City Lords were also given to us by our families. We received everyone's affirmation and recognition." Ou Rouyin stared at Chu Xingyun and said word by word, "Pavilion Master, you have just taken control of the eighteen ancient cities. With a single word, you want to strip my husband and I of our positions as City Lords. It seems a bit like child's play."
"Are you threatening me?" Chu Xingyun felt Ou Rouyin's forcefulness and a trace of coldness appeared in his calm eyes. Ou Rouyin's words were clearly relying on the Duan and Ou Families' foundations.
"This little girl does not dare. I am only anxious to save my son." Ou Rouyin's tone softened, but her posture was still forceful. This made Chu Xingyun sneer and shake his head. He said in a mocking tone, "If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. Your words and actions are not saving Duan Feng, but pushing him step by step into the abyss."
