Everyone called out to Chu Xingyun as the Pavilion Master and called themselves the Wanjian Pavilion instead of the Ancient Star Sect. This clearly showed that they had acknowledged Chu Xingyun and no longer rejected him.
In fact, this was to be expected.
Just as Chu Xingyun had said, the Ancient Star Sect was divided into five families, and each family ruled the eighteen ancient cities. Although each family had set up a law, the law was useless against the members of the family.
There were quite a few people like Duan Feng in the clan. Even if they disrupted the order and killed people, the clan would not blame them. However, it was different for ordinary people. There was a huge difference between the two.
As the Pavilion Master of Wanjian Pavilion, Chu Xingyun did not kill Duan Feng. Instead, he sentenced him according to the law. Facing Lu Qing, who was lax in the law, he did not protect him. Instead, he sentenced him in public.
He said that the law was the foundation of the sect. No matter how strong one was, no matter what one's identity, they would all be investigated according to the law.
Chu Xingyun was the perfect example for the crowd. They were instantly convinced and were more willing to let go of their grudges and become the people of Wanjian Pavilion, shouting the name of the Pavilion Master.
After all, the majority of cultivators did not care about Gu Fanxing's death. What they truly cared about was the situation they were facing and the benefits they could obtain.
Chu Xingyun had established the Dao of Penal Law and strictly supervised them. This undoubtedly gave the crowd a glimmer of hope!
The people of the four great clans could clearly feel the trust and acknowledgment of Chu Xingyun. The four Patriarchs looked at each other and saw the anger and coldness in each other's eyes.
"As the ancient saying goes, the one who wins the hearts of the people controls the world. Luo Yun's methods are truly sinister!" The head of the Duan Clan said coldly in his heart. However, he did not say anything else. His head was still lowered, but his eyes were shining with a cold light.
The night gradually deepened, and the crowd that had gathered at the Myriad Star Tower had already dispersed. However, what had happened at the Myriad Star Tower quickly spread throughout the entire Saint Star City, and even the 18 ancient cities.
Whether it was the seclusion of the families or the elimination of the criminal law, it was of great significance to the warriors of the eighteen ancient cities. It would completely change the situation of the eighteen ancient cities and allow them to start a new life of cultivation.
At this moment, in an elegant courtyard.
As soon as Chu Xingyun and the others returned to their residence, Mowang Gong, Lin Tianchong, and Wu Jing Xue left.
The three of them were originally discussing the matter of Soaring Goose Pass. In order to boost Chu Xingyun's momentum, they had acted forcefully. Now that Sacred Star City had stabilized and there were no more disputes, they naturally would not stay for long.
Chu Xingyun's lips unconsciously curled into a faint smile as he watched the three of them leave. Vaguely, he felt that his relationship with the three of them had changed slightly. Although it was slight, it gave him a very comfortable feeling.
"When you were facing Duan Feng, I was worried that you would attack him directly. Now, it would seem that I was overthinking things." Liu Mengyan's voice rang out. She revealed a gratified smile and praised, "Yun 'er, you handled today's matter very well."
"It's all thanks to mother's reminder." Chu Xingyun smiled. He was not lying. If it were not for Liu Mengyan's reminder, he would not have been able to grasp the Dao of Power and could not have handled this matter perfectly.
In the Ancient Star Sect, the concept of family had long been deeply rooted. Although the four major families had declined, they still had a rich foundation. It was easier said than done to make them willingly hand over all their power and seclude themselves in the mountains.
Today, Chu Xingyun had displayed his domineering power and intimidated everyone. Then, with the help of Wu Jing Xue and the others, he had broken the psychological barrier of the four major families in one fell swoop and won the hearts of the people in the end.
If Chu Xingyun had not comprehended the Dao of Power, he would never have thought of such a method. In the end, he would probably still use force to suppress them, which would lead to a series of complicated disputes.
Liu Mengyan was right. Right now, he was a martial artist, but he was also a Pavilion Master. Facing the 18 Ancient Cities and the 18 Dynasties, he had to look at them from a different angle in order to find the best solution!
"However …" Liu Mengyan's face darkened. She changed the topic and said, "Although such a violent method can win the hearts of the people and suppress the power of the four major families, the four major families will not give up their power easily. They will definitely fight in the dark."
Liu Mengyan was born in the Ancient Star Sect and was a member of the Liu Family. She knew more about family matters than anyone else.
In the Ancient Star Sect, the five major families had a long history and had a foundation of thousands of years. It was impossible for Chu Xingyun to obtain the absolute ruling power of the Eighteen Ancient Cities in such a short time.
Moreover, Chu Xingyun's method was too forceful. Although it could win the hearts of the people, it would cause great harm to the family members. They would definitely not be willing to submit.
"Regarding mother's concerns, this child has already made plans." Seeing Liu Mengyan's frown, Chu Xingyun smiled faintly instead. He didn't feel any sense of crisis at all.
He said, "The Ancient Star Sect's family system is very strict. The higher the status, the more power they have. Moreover, it is spread throughout the Eighteen Ancient Cities. The management is very strict. If we want to seize control from the families, we must break this deadlock.
Therefore, I have decided to abolish the senior members of the four major families and hand them over to you to manage and control. This will prevent the four major families from resisting. "
The current Liu Mengyan had the absolute upper hand in terms of strength and status. More importantly, she was familiar with the family matters. It was not difficult for her to manage the senior members of the family.
"In addition, there is no lack of young people in the four major families. They are open-minded and ambitious. If we can gather them and divide them into the Eighteen Ancient Cities and the Eighteen Dynasties, it will definitely be beneficial for the development of Wanjian Pavilion. After all, after the Blood War and the Beast Tide, the Eighteen Ancient Cities and the Eighteen Dynasties are bound to decline. They also need to inject this new force."
Chu Xingyun took a deep breath and said everything. In the end, he paused and said to Chu Xingchen, "As for the examination and test of these young people, I want to hand this responsibility over to my father and let him have full authority."
"Me?"
Hearing this, Chu Xingchen was shocked. He thought he was hallucinating. He looked at Chu Xingyun with his eyes wide open. After a moment, a touch of emotion appeared on his face.
In the past, as the head of the Chu family, Chu Xingchen led the Chu family to rise rapidly with his own strength. At one point, they became a huge family in West Wind City. Even the City Lord's residence had to be polite to them.
In Chu Xingchen's heart, there was always a hidden ambition. He wanted to make a career for himself. However, after he woke up, he could not use his strength at all. He could only bury this thought deep in his heart and never mention it again.
Obviously, Chu Xingyun saw through this. He handed over the supervision of the younger generation of the family to Chu Xingchen and let him have full authority. This was to help him realize his ambition and fulfill the desire in his heart.
