Guo Yi's Death
As soon as Chu Xingyun removed Guo Yi from his position, the four Patriarchs announced the establishment of the Elders Guild, and wantonly gathered the upper echelons of the families and the officials of the ancient cities. This made the crowd think that the two sides were about to erupt into conflict, and they all rushed over.
But just now, the words of the four Patriarchs made everyone realize that they had come prepared this time. They wanted to use the law to mock Chu Xingyun.
After all, the establishment of the Elders Guild had not affected the Eighteen Ancient Cities in any way. Coupled with Ou Zhongkui's explanation, no one could find anything to use against them, and they could not forcefully stop them.
And Guo Yi's appointment was even more helpless. This Elders Guild did not belong to the Eighteen Ancient Cities, nor did it belong to the Wanjian Pavilion. Chu Xingyun had no right to stop it.
Seeing Ning Lefan and Lu Xing fall into silence, the smiles on the four Patriarchs' faces became even more complacent. They were not even afraid of Chu Xingyun, so why would they put these two in their eyes? Everything was under their control.
Behind the four Patriarchs, Guo Yi was standing there.
Originally, when he saw Chu Xingyun and his group coming over aggressively, he was still a little afraid. But seeing the current situation, he unconsciously straightened his back, and his expression gradually became arrogant.
Today, countless people had gathered in the Myriad Star Tower. In addition to announcing the establishment of the Elders Guild, the appointment was also very important.
Although Guo Yi had been removed from his position by Chu Xingyun, he still had tens of thousands of Imperial Guards in his hands, and he had great power. The four Patriarchs appointed him as a director, and his position was extremely high. Their purpose was to replace the Liu Family.
The Ancient Star Sect was once divided into five major families. After Liu Mengyan took control of the Ancient Star Sect, the Liu Family's position gradually became transcendent. But in the Liu Family, there were still many people of the older generation who did not agree with Chu Xingyun.
Therefore, the four Patriarchs appointed Guo Yi with great fanfare. Not only did they want to attack Chu Xingyun's spirit, but they also wanted to obtain the support of the higher-ups of the family. Their ambitions were especially huge.
Guo Yi was well aware of this point in his heart. He frowned as he looked at Ning Lefan and Lu Xing's distressed appearance, and an idea instantly appeared in his mind. He wanted to seize this great opportunity to quickly establish his reputation and obtain the recognition and support of the higher-ups of the various large clans.
His eyes kept rolling, and when he saw Liu Mengyan, a ray of light flashed in his eyes. He laughed strangely and said, "I didn't expect that even Family Head Liu would come."
When Liu Mengyan heard Guo Yi's words, she only snorted coldly. She had no intention of talking to him.
Seeing this, Guo Yi did not get angry. Instead, he laughed sinisterly. "This Elder Council is established for the development of the family. As the head of the Liu family, you can join it unconditionally. As for your husband, forget about it. His background is too low. He is not qualified."
"Hmm?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Mengyan's expression suddenly changed. Standing beside her, Chu Xingchen was stunned. His body trembled slightly. Hidden in his sleeves, he clenched his fists so tightly that ferocious veins popped out.
However, Guo Yi did not care about the changes in the two at all. His tone gradually became sarcastic as he said slowly, "If he wants to join the Elder Council, it's not like there's no way. As long as he's willing to marry into the Liu family and change his surname to Liu, we can consider it."
With a rumbling sound, a terrifying power erupted from Liu Mengyan's body and enveloped the entire space. Above her head, the Calamity Spirit Pearl wrapped in the aura of disaster appeared. The destructive aura instantly silenced the Wanxing Lou.
This sudden change shocked the crowd. While they were afraid of Liu Mengyan's strength, they were also shocked by Guo Yi's desire to see the world in chaos.
Chu Xingchen's situation when he came to the Ancient Star Sect was already awkward. There was already a lot of public opinion about him. However, because of Liu Mengyan and Chu Xingyun, these rumors were suppressed and no one dared to speak.
Now, countless people had gathered in the Wanxing Lou. Every word and action was known by everyone. Yet, Guo Yi was openly mocking Chu Xingchen and even wanted him to marry into the Liu family and change his surname to Liu.
More importantly, Chu Xingyun was also present.
If Chu Xingyun changed his surname to Liu, wouldn't that mean that Chu Xingyun would also change his surname and be willing to bow to the family's power?
This could no longer be called mockery. It was blatant slander. Slander in public!
"Guo Yi, how dare you!" Lu Ling was fuming with anger. He took a large step forward and sword light spread out from his body.
Ning Lefan was even more furious. He had already grasped his sword tightly. How could he not know that Guo Yi was also slandering Chu Xingyun? How could a disciple stand by and watch when his master was being humiliated? He was ready to fight at any time.
Everyone released their auras, filling the Wanxing Lou with spiritual energy. The atmosphere was extremely tense. However, Guo Yi still had a smile on his face. He looked at the upper echelons of the family and saw many of them chuckling and nodding. He was secretly pleased with himself.
"This Guo Yi is not bad. He actually thought of using the power of others to show off. He is a promising talent." Ou Zhongkui looked at Guo Yi with satisfaction and nodded as he spoke.
"He actually used Chu Xingchen to mock Luo Yun. This method is not bad." Teng Ji also thought highly of Guo Yi. However, he deliberately put on a displeased expression and said angrily, "Guo Yi, don't be rude. Why aren't you leaving?"
When the crowd heard this, they looked at Guo Yi with disdain. Teng Ji's words seemed to be displeased, but in fact, he was leaving a way out for Guo Yi so that he could escape unscathed. His intention to shield Guo Yi was too obvious.
"Guo Yi was reckless. I will leave now." Guo Yi pretended to bow. As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Xingyun complacently, as if he was the victor of the battle.
"There is no need to leave. You can stay here forever!"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from Chu Xingyun's mouth. Guo Yi's face stiffened. Chu Xingyun asked him not to leave but to stay here forever. What did he mean?
But then, Guo Yi saw Chu Xingyun raise his head again. A demonic light that represented destruction bloomed in his eyes. It was cold and evil. It was like a pair of demonic eyes that were filled with endless killing intent.
Looking at those eyes, everyone couldn't help but shiver. Chu Xingyun's aura changed. It became cold to the depths of one's bones and soul.
"Pavilion Master Luo Yun …" Mo Wuwei felt that something was wrong and wanted to explain himself.
However, before he could finish, Chu Xingyun's voice resounded again. It was emotionless, "I am the Pavilion Master of the Wanjian Pavilion. I am the ruler of the eighteen ancient cities. No one can violate my authority. However, Guo Yi dared to insult my father in front of everyone. According to the law, this crime is punishable by death!"
Buzz!
Everyone in the air felt cold. The surging sound was like a cold wind. The cold wind blew on their bodies and Guo Yi's body. He opened his eyes wide in fright.
He hastily turned around, wanting to ask the four Patriarchs for help. However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a strange coldness on his neck.
Then, his vision started to spin. In the end, he fell to the ground and fell into boundless darkness.
