Elder Assembly
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In the Sacred Star City, there was a vast and majestic palace.
Inside the palace, laughter could be heard, accompanied by the splendor of the lanterns. It was filled with a luxurious and extravagant atmosphere.
At this moment, there were close to a hundred people gathered in the palace. Aside from the upper echelons of the great clans, there were also some officials of the ancient city. Every one of them had a smile on their faces and their voices were unrestrained.
"Today, the younger generation of the Sacred Star City came out in droves, openly expressing their support for Luo Yun, wanting to fulfill his ambitions. It's truly laughable."
"The moment this matter appeared, we immediately sent people to suppress it. Now that the Sacred Star Academy is guarded by a group of soldiers, they won't dare to cause trouble." Someone's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"The younger generation is still young, it's indeed easy for them to be deceived. They should be taught a lesson." Many people nodded.
"Although this matter is troublesome, it doesn't affect the overall situation. On the contrary, countless people are filled with disappointment and ridicule towards Luo Yun's lecture. There's no one who supports him."
"After the lecture, Luo Yun's reputation has fallen to the bottom. He deserves it. Who told him to try to take over the eighteen ancient cities? He brought this upon himself. Heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"
Voices came out from the mouths of the people. If the people of the ancient city were filled with disdain and ridicule towards the lecture, then these people were filled with ridicule and schadenfreude.
They felt that Chu Xingyun's current situation was a result of his own actions. It was retribution.
The authority of the eighteen ancient cities originally belonged to them. Anyone who tried to seize it was unforgivable. They were bound to walk towards destruction.
"The lecture was indeed foolish. But I've heard from others that Luo Yun's character is even more sinister than Fan Wujie. Why would he do something so strenuous and unrewarding?" Suddenly, an official of the ancient city questioned, "Could there be a trap in his lecture? Otherwise, why would he try to rope in the younger generation?"
Two consecutive rhetorical questions entered everyone's ears, causing them to instantly stop talking. For a moment, they were actually unable to answer. The noisy and extravagant space also became quiet, and it was somewhat creepy.
"Besides fooling a bunch of kids, who else can Luo Yun fool?" At this moment, a firm voice filled with confidence sounded out from the hall.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, and saw that the person who had spoken was the Ou Clan's Lord — Ou Zhong Kui.
He was wearing heavy armor, and every step he took produced the sound of metal striking metal. His head was held high, and he was extremely pleased with himself. Beside him were Duan Chun, Mo Wuwei, and Teng Ji. The four of them were in high spirits, and as soon as they appeared, the atmosphere of the entire space was intimidated.
Behind the four of them, there were more than ten people following. Their cultivations were not weak, reaching the Sky Spirit Realm. Their manners were well-mannered, and their postures were sharp. They were actually all City Lords of the ancient city.
"Greetings, Patriarch and City Lord!" Seeing such a scene, no one dared to be negligent. They immediately knelt down and lowered their gazes, respectfully welcoming this group of people.
"Everyone, rise." Duan Chun waved his hand and slowly sat down. He first glanced at the other three Patriarchs, then shifted his gaze away and said unhurriedly, "Although Luo Yun controls the Eighteen Ancient City, everyone in the Eighteen Ancient City belongs to the Ou Clan. He can't order them around, and it's difficult for him to mobilize them, so he can't make the Eighteen Ancient City operate properly."
"Facing such a situation, Luo Yun can only fool those ignorant kids, talking about his ideals and plans to raise his status. Only by doing so can he stand firm."
Hearing Duan Chun's careful analysis, everyone nodded their heads. The people present, whether it was the upper echelons of the Clans, the officials of the Ancient City, or the City Lords of the Ancient City, affected the operation of the Eighteen Ancient City.
They were filled with disdain and contempt for Chu Xingyun, so naturally, they wouldn't be willing to submit. As such, Luo Yun could only place his hopes on the younger generation.
"Luo Yun can be considered to be a victim of his own cleverness. Right now, he's being ridiculed by everyone. So what if he has the support of those kids? In the end, he can only achieve nothing." A City Lord sneered. His words revealed his intense disgust for Chu Xingyun, and he didn't show any mercy.
"A group of brats. They are still young and their experiences are still shallow. If they want to be independent, they still have a long way to go. Moreover, as long as we are still alive, when will it be their turn to speak and wield authority?" Another ancient city lord laughed loudly. He didn't place the younger generation in his eyes at all, treating them as nothing.
The City Lords of the Ancient City were all from the Four Great Clans, so they naturally supported the Four Great Clans unconditionally. Towards Chu Xingyun and the Wanjian Pavilion, there was only coldness and even killing intent in their hearts.
"Luo Yun was able to reach where he is today because of a fortuitous encounter. If we look at the root of it, he's just an ignorant kid. No matter how strong he is, he's definitely not our opponent. Just watch, he'll soon bow his head to us." Mo Wuwei let out a sinister laugh. His aura was crafty, causing people to feel a chill down their spines.
As he spoke, he gave Duan Chun a look. Almost at the same time, Teng Ji and Ou Zhongkui took a step forward and raised their arms, indicating for everyone to stop talking.
When the palace became deathly silent again, Duan Chun cleared his throat and said in a clear voice, "Luo Yun is now suffering the consequences of his own actions. He's gradually showing signs of fatigue. We must seize this opportunity to give him a heavy blow. We must make sure that his orders won't even be able to go out of the palace. We must use this to force him to take a step back and hand over the huge benefits and authority of the Ancient City."
"In order to achieve this goal, the few of us have decided to join forces and establish an Elder Assembly!"
When Duan Chun finished speaking, everyone below, except for the City Lords of the Ancient City, had a puzzled expression. They didn't know the meaning and purpose of the Elder Assembly.
The Four Great Clans had long expected this situation, so they weren't anxious. Duan Chun paused for a moment before continuing, "The Elder Assembly exists to unite everyone and gather their strength to fight against Luo Yun and the Wanjian Pavilion. Among them, the four of us will appoint the Elder Assembly to represent the highest will of the Elder Assembly."
"Under the Elder Assembly are the City Lords of the Ancient City. They represent the backbone of the Elder Assembly. Under the City Lords are the upper echelons of the various Great Clans and the officials of the Ancient City. They are responsible for the operation of the Elder Assembly."
As Duan Chun spoke, the group of City Lords stood up and stepped forward. They walked to the foot of the four Clan Lords, each of their eyes filled with determination.
