Unable to get out of the embarrassing situation
Night had just arrived and the stars were shining in the night sky. The starlight was like flowing water as it converged into the Myriad Star Ancient Diagram, turning into array cores that would forever protect the Sacred Star City.
Outside the city, the beast tide was still boundless. However, the cultivators stationed in the Sacred Star City didn't pay much attention to it. They all turned their heads to look at the Myriad Star Tower in the center of the city.
Tonight, the Myriad Star Tower would hold a Clan Assembly. The Five Great Clans and the Eighteen City Lords would personally attend. Even Chu Xingyun was no exception.
Such a grand assembly had already attracted the attention of countless people. Because of Chu Xingyun's display of power today, countless people were filled with curiosity. They wanted to know what would happen in this grand assembly.
The night was getting darker and darker. The Myriad Star Tower flickered with boundless starlight. It was like a silver river that deeply shocked the hearts of the crowd. The pavilions were brightly lit and some figures could already be seen.
"They're here!" At this moment, the crowd that was waiting outside the Myriad Star Tower suddenly exclaimed.
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black mass of figures appear. There were so many of them that there were probably no less than a hundred people. There were also several flying Spirit Beasts at the front. The scene was quite impressive.
"It's the Ou Clan and the Duan Clan." Everyone's eyes were sharp, and they quickly recognized the origin of this figure. For a moment, the noisy discussion dissipated, and it was replaced by sharp laughter.
"The Ou Clan and the Duan Clan have lost face this time. I originally thought that they would hole up and not come out. I didn't expect that they would still come in the end. The people accompanying them are all elites of their clans. Could it be that they are afraid of Pavilion Master Luo Yun?"
"Pavilion Master Luo Yun's cultivation has already reached the second stage of the Yin Yang Realm. His strength is unparalleled. I'm afraid that these people won't be able to block a single sword strike."
After a series of events, the crowd no longer had any prejudice or contempt for Luo Yun. They faintly showed signs of following him. When these words came out, the entire hall burst into laughter, causing the expressions of the Ou Clan and the Duan Clan to become incomparably unsightly.
"That person seems to be Duan Feng!" Suddenly, someone stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky. The crowd was stunned, and their eyes swept over. They saw a domineering young man standing on the back of the flying spirit beast. It was Duan Feng.
"That heartless bastard actually dares to appear here. Duan Yunqing and Ou Rouyin are still kneeling on the main road, yet he's not moved in the slightest. He's simply a beast. A person like him doesn't have the qualifications to live in the Ancient Star Sect. He should be killed immediately."
As soon as they saw Duan Feng, the crowd's eyes were filled with rage. They all felt that Chu Xingyun should take action and kill Duan Feng to get rid of the evil for the people.
However, there were still some rational people who spoke out, "Duan Feng's actions are worthy of being punished. He might seem impressive right now, but he's just putting on a strong front. He'll soon dig his own grave. There's no need for Pavilion Master Luo Yun to do anything."
"That's right. Pavilion Master Luo Yun wouldn't even bother to deal with a beast like him. He will suffer his own retribution!"
Sharp voices rang out and entered Duan Feng's ears, causing his face to turn pale. His body swayed, and he almost fell off the back of the flying spirit beast. He didn't have his usual arrogant attitude at all.
Two old men stood in front of Duan Feng. One of them was wearing a purple robe with white hair and a beard, while the other was wearing a grey robe with a slightly stooped figure. The two of them were leading the crowd toward the Myriad Star Tower.
The former was the Duan Clan's Patriarch, and the latter was the Ou Clan's Patriarch.
"Speed up." The Duan Clan's Patriarch's face was gloomy. He could clearly hear the mocking words of the crowd, so he didn't dare to stay here for long. He wanted to immediately enter the Myriad Star Tower.
The Duan Clan was like that, and so was the Ou Clan. Over a hundred people rushed toward the Myriad Star Tower at full speed without saying a word. Their miserable appearances caused the crowd to laugh endlessly. So much so that no one paid attention to the appearance of the Teng Clan and the Mo Clan.
"What a bunch of ignorant people!" Not long after, the two clans arrived at the Myriad Star Tower. As soon as their feet touched the ground, the Duan Clan's Patriarch turned his head and snorted coldly to vent the anger in his heart.
The Duan Clan and the Ou Clan were among the Five Great Clans. They were powerful and had boundless influence, but today, they were in a sorry state like stray dogs. It was really hard for him to accept.
"Patriarchs, how have you been?" Just as the two Patriarchs were vexed, a gentle and delicate female voice rang out. Liu Mengyan and Chu Xingchen had already arrived in the hall. When they saw the arrival of the two Patriarchs, a faint smile appeared on their faces.
How could the Duan Clan and the Ou Clan be close to Liu Mengyan? However, she was the Liu Clan's Patriarch and Chu Xingyun's mother, so they still had to give her face. She replied with a fake smile, "Thanks to the Liu Clan's Patriarch, I'm fine."
After saying that, the Duan Clan's Patriarch and the Ou Clan's Patriarch sat down. The hundred over people who came with them also sat down one after another. They did not say anything, but their gazes were cold as they glanced at Liu Mengyan and Chu Xingchen from time to time.
Not long after, the Mo Clan and the Teng Clan also arrived at the Myriad Star Tower.
Their attitude towards Liu Mengyan was similarly indifferent. Between their words and actions, they did not even spare Chu Xingchen a glance, as if he did not exist, as if he did not exist.
Chu Xingchen did not pay much attention to this and simply closed his eyes. What the eyes do not see, the heart does not grieve over.
At this moment, the Five Great Clans had all arrived. As for the Ancient City's City Lords, they were all from the same clan. After they took their seats, their expressions were solemn as they looked at each other from time to time. It was unknown what they were talking about.
Time passed bit by bit. Everyone in the Myriad Star Tower had arrived, but they still did not see Chu Xingyun's figure. In the distance, there was also no aura of Chu Xingyun.
"Why is he not here yet?" Everyone looked into the distance. As the Pavilion Master of the Wanjian Pavilion, Chu Xingyun must have something important to announce in this Clan Assembly. Why was he not here yet?
Time continued to pass. Just as everyone was discussing, a pitch-black sword light pierced through the night sky like a meteor. Its speed was astonishingly fast. In just an instant, it had swept into the Myriad Star Tower.
"I've made everyone wait for a long time."
The pitch-black sword light dissipated bit by bit. From within, a handsome black-robed young man slowly walked out. Under everyone's gazes, he walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down unhurriedly.
"The Pavilion Master is busy. It's normal for him to be delayed. No matter what, it's better that he's here than not." Almost at the instant when Chu Xingyun sat down, the Ou Clan's Patriarch stood up. There was a smile on his face, but it seemed a little cold.
Beside him, the Duan Clan's Patriarch also stood up. His eyes narrowed into slits as he said coldly, "The Five Great Clans have been in the Ancient Star Sect for thousands of years. Even the Sect Master has to treat us with respect. The Pavilion Master first made a move to establish his power, and then came so late. Could it be that he wants to show us his power?"
The words of the two were mixed with ridicule. The moment they spoke, the entire space froze.
