There was one thing.
The people of the Ou Clan had always thought themselves to be noble and virtuous. They would not tolerate anyone in their eyes. Even when facing Chu Xingyun, they were like that. Furthermore, Chu Xingyun's display of might had caused the Ou Clan and the Duan Clan to lose all face. Thus, how could they possibly speak peacefully?
"Duan Clan Master, you're wrong. The Pavilion Master is still young and is unfamiliar with the matters of the Ancient Star Sect. In fact, in my opinion, since the Pavilion Master is unfamiliar with the matters of the clan, he shouldn't interfere. Otherwise, it will only cause more disputes."
As soon as the Duan Clan Master finished speaking, the burly Mo Clan Master on the left spoke with a smile on his face. His tone was neither servile nor overbearing, but it vaguely revealed a strong intention.
"The Wanjian Pavilion has ruled the Eighteen Dynasties for thousands of years. They know everything, but they don't know much about the Eighteen Ancient Cities. It's better to let them take care of themselves. Perhaps the results will be better."
The Teng Clan Master, who had been silent all this while, spoke at the right time, "As the saying goes, peace is the most important thing. The Ancient Star Sect has lost many experts. After the beast tide, the casualties were even more disastrous. I hope the Pavilion Master will reconsider."
These words were already threatening, causing the Duan Clan Master and the Ou Clan Master to reveal a complacent expression. Behind the four people, the ancient cities' castellans also puffed out their chests with a strong attitude.
"The Eighteen Ancient Cities have always been ruled by the clans. For thousands of years, it has long been established. If we forcefully change it, it will only produce the opposite of the desired result. It will lead to unnecessary turmoil and even slaughter."
"The position of the castellan is selected by the clans. It's convenient to unify the opinions and make it easier to control. The Ancient Star Sect has existed for thousands of years and has never been in turmoil. The Pavilion Master has to consider this point."
… …
Figures stood up one after another and spoke out. Their suggestions and opinions were all on the side of the clans. They didn't want Chu Xingyun to manage the Eighteen Ancient Cities.
When Chu Xingchen heard these words, his face instantly became gloomy. How could he not know that these people's purpose was only to protect their rights and interests? Everything else was just empty words.
Even the head of the Liu family, Liu Mengyan, couldn't bear to watch any longer. She furrowed her brows and looked at Chu Xingyun worriedly.
But unexpectedly, Chu Xingyun, who was sitting in the main seat, did not change his expression at all. He was very calm and indifferent, and there was even a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, as if he was laughing.
"Are you done?" Not long after, Chu Xingyun finally spoke. As soon as he opened his mouth, those eloquent family members were stunned. They stared at him in puzzlement.
Chu Xingyun stood up. There wasn't a trace of anger in his body. He looked at the people in front of him with a condescending attitude and said, "I didn't call for a family meeting to listen to your opinions and suggestions. I'm very puzzled. As the generals of a defeated army, it's still unknown whether you can control your own life and death. Where do you get the qualifications and courage to mock and ridicule in front of me?"
After hearing this, the hearts of the Duan family and the Ou family trembled. They subconsciously raised their gazes, only to see Chu Xingyun's cold smile growing thicker and thicker. He added, "My words are not targeted at anyone. In my eyes, everyone here is just an ant that can't even withstand a single blow. You don't have the qualifications to speak in front of me."
Thump!
The hearts of the people present trembled violently. Their originally proud and arrogant faces instantly froze. They wanted to refute, but they didn't know where to start.
It was because they, who were all Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivators, were indeed unable to withstand a single blow in front of Chu Xingyun. Duan Yunqing and Ou Rouyin were living examples. They had shattered their Spiritual Seas with a finger and knelt on the ground for seven days and nights.
At this time, a tyrannical might was emitted from Chu Xingyun's body. It swept through the hall and even the entire Myriad Star Building. With an aloof attitude, he said, "The reason why I called for a family meeting is to gather all of you here and announce something in front of everyone."
"From today onwards, all the City Lords of the ancient cities will be stripped of their City Lord positions. The eighteen ancient cities will be under the control of the Wanjian Pavilion. No one is allowed to interfere or interfere. As for the five great families, they must also hand over all their power within three days and immediately return to the mountains and forests to become hidden families. Without my orders, they are not allowed to come out."
"As for the hidden families, they will be led by the Liu family. All major matters must follow the orders of the Liu family."
"The above words all represent my will. If there is anyone who disobeys, obstructs, or spreads rumors, they will be enemies with the Wanjian Pavilion. The only consequence is death."
As the last sentence fell, the large space became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The heads of the four great families, the City Lords of the ancient cities, and all the people of the families felt their minds go blank. They couldn't recover from their shock.
Below Chu Xingyun, Liu Mengyan and Liu Mengyan stood there, unable to recover from their shock. But very quickly, a bright light flashed through Liu Mengyan's eyes, and her body trembled with excitement.
"As expected of Yun 'er, to be able to grasp the situation with just a hint. The words that he had spoken earlier were truly words of authority!" Liu Mengyan exclaimed in her heart. The huge rock that had been hanging high in her heart had finally landed with a loud bang.
She originally thought that Chu Xingyun would be enraged when faced with the situation just now. Without saying a word, he would directly suppress the heads of the four great families with his martial power and kill them to stop violence.
If that was the case, the situation would become even more chaotic. Those deeply rooted families would definitely cause turmoil, and the millions of people of the Ancient Star Sect would only see Chu Xingyun as an ordinary man. They would find it difficult to accept him.
Fortunately, Chu Xingyun understood the way of power that Liu Mengyan had mentioned. As the pavilion master, he controlled the two great sects. He was the king and the ruler. Why would he need to make a move when facing a mere family?
One sentence was enough to conclude the matter!
The City Lords of the ancient cities, who had held their heads high and puffed out their chests, were so shocked by Chu Xingyun's words that their faces turned pale. Their minds were in chaos, and they all turned their heads to look at the heads of the four great families.
On the other hand, the Mo family's patriarchs and the Teng family's patriarchs were also pale, and they could not utter a single word. As for the Ou family's patriarchs and the Duan family's patriarchs, they were so furious that their teeth were chattering, and their faces were twitching.
"Not only do we have to hand over all our power, but we also have to live in seclusion. How is this possible?!"
"The roots of the families are deeply rooted. How can they be uprooted just like that? Pavilion Master Luo Yun, aren't you oversimplifying things?"
The heads of the Duan and Ou Families spoke out, but they didn't obey Chu Xingyun's orders. However, just as they spoke, the void trembled. A terrifying pressure bloomed, causing the heaven and earth to resonate. It firmly suppressed everyone's body, causing their spiritual seas to tremble violently.
"The pavilion master's words have already been clear. If you're not willing to hand over your power and live in seclusion, then we'll fight. If the families are deeply rooted and can't be uprooted, then we'll destroy them all, leaving no one alive!"
A rough voice sounded, accompanied by a terrifying pressure.
Under everyone's horrified gazes, purplish black figures soared into the sky outside the Myriad Star Building. There were 3,000 of them, not one more, not one less. All of them held ancient swords in their hands and wore heavy armor. They vaguely formed a profound formation that suppressed the deep night sky.
In the center of the formation, there was a valiant figure floating. Every step he took shook the sky. A purplish black baleful aura spread out like smoke. In the end, it actually transformed into a 1,000-meter-long malevolent dragon.
