More than four hundred thousand people knelt down and shouted the name of the Pavilion Master. However, this did not make Chu Xingyun reveal a complacent attitude. His face was calm, and even his every move was unhurried.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "What I just said is not child's play. The Wanjian Pavilion branches in the Eighteen Ancient Cities have detailed rules for you to read at will. If anyone wants to buy a property or a shop, they can also deal with these matters in the branches. I will not stop them, but …"
Everyone was tempted by his words. Suddenly, Chu Xingyun changed the topic and his voice became extremely serious. "All words and actions must abide by the law. If anyone violates it, regardless of status or strength, I will not let them off easily!"
As he spoke, a majestic aura was released from Chu Xingyun's body, causing the bodies of the people below to stiffen. However, not long after, an even more intense fiery aura filled the crowd.
The content of Chu Xingyun's sermon today would definitely cause a storm in the Eighteen Ancient Cities. Among them, there might be some busybodies who would use their power or some other means to forcibly profiteer.
However, after Chu Xingyun's words, those busybodies would not dare to act recklessly. They would definitely abide by the law. This way, everyone would be able to obtain fairness.
"Today's sermon is over. Everyone can disperse now." Chu Xingyun keenly observed the changes in the expressions of the crowd. Seeing that it was about time, he waved his hand, indicating the end of the sermon.
Almost at the same time, a rumbling sound rang out. The more than one hundred thousand people standing below stood up and madly ran in all directions. The brilliance of Spiritual Energy flashed in the void, so dazzling that people could not open their eyes.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun could not help but smile. His eyes glanced at Chu Xingchen, Ning Lefan, and the others. His body floated in the air, and then under the fiery gazes of the three hundred thousand young students, he left this place.
However, even though Chu Xingyun had left, the words he had spoken were still reverberating in the minds of the crowd. Everyone was talking about it, everyone was talking about it. Very soon, it had spread throughout the entire Holy Star City.
All of a sudden, the entire Sacred Star City was shaken!
Because they didn't listen to the preaching on the spot, countless people regretted that they didn't listen to it on the spot. At the same time, because of Chu Xingyun's preaching, they were so excited that they ran all over the Sacred Star City.
Chu Xingyun's first sermon had just ended, and the entire Sacred Star City was filled with the sound of ridicule. They treated it as a topic of conversation after a meal, and the sounds of discussion were endless.
Before the second lecture even began, the crowd was similarly sneering. Quite a few people weren't even willing to come, feeling like it was a waste of time.
Now, the second lecture had just ended. Inside and outside the Sacred Star City, there was a fiery atmosphere. No one sneered, no one mocked. Every time they talked about Chu Xingyun, their faces would heat up as they deeply praised him.
This sort of situation pervaded the entire Sacred Star City. Furthermore, as time passed, this matter soon spread to the other Ancient Cities. The shock that greeted them was also astonishing. Furthermore, it seemed to be growing more and more intense.
Countless people gathered at the Wanjian Pavilion branch in the 18 Ancient Cities. Some wanted to buy real estate, some wanted to get a shop, and some even wanted to see the details. They wanted to get some power and become famous overnight.
What was even more surprising was that among the huge crowd, there were many family members. They also came to the Wanjian Pavilion branch. Their initial resistance to Chu Xingyun had dissipated, and their bodies were filled with excitement.
Deep in the Sacred Star City, in the courtyard of the Liu Family.
Chu Xingyun and the others gathered in the main hall. In front of them, several middle-aged men stood with their heads slightly lowered. They were describing the heated situation in the 18 Ancient Cities in a respectful tone.
After a while, these people finished their report and left with a bow. However, the whole hall was still filled with joy. Everyone's face was full of smiles, and they looked particularly satisfied.
"After the second lecture, it only took half a day for it to spread throughout the 18 Ancient Cities. Not only did the people not curse or ridicule Master's actions, but they also supported him. Even the voices of resistance to Master's actions are getting smaller and smaller." Ning Lefan stood up and waved his hands happily. He looked very interesting.
"He took all the power and resources of the four major families and gave them to the Wanjian Pavilion, but at the same time, he also gave them to the people to satisfy their desires and win their support. This move is really sharp. I admire it." Mowang Gong stroked his long beard, and his eyes shone with a sharp light.
The reason why the 18 Ancient Cities resisted Chu Xingyun was not only because of the instigation of the four major families, but more importantly, because they rejected Chu Xingyun's leadership. Not only would it not benefit them, but it would also have a negative impact.
At this moment, Chu Xingyun gave all the power and resources to the people, and he would not interfere with them. Moreover, he was enforcing the law, cleaning up the atmosphere, and stabilizing the situation.
This allowed the people of the 18 Ancient Cities to see a new future. Everyone had something to gain and everyone could speak for themselves, instead of relying on the families and living like duckweeds.
With such a choice, it was clear at a glance which one was better and which one was worse.
This was also why Chu Xingyun had set up a trap before the lecture. He had let the senior figures of the major families enter the Wind Willow Residence so that they would not know what had happened today. The purpose was to facilitate the implementation of the reform.
Seeing that everyone was beaming with joy, Chu Xingyun also smiled and said lightly, "My decision can not only alleviate the voices of resistance, but also dismantle the rotten family system. The people who are suppressed by the families will naturally support me."
"In addition, this move is also beneficial to the development of the 18 Ancient Cities and can alleviate the current awkward situation. As long as the reform is carried out, the 18 Ancient Cities will be rejuvenated after a period of time, and they will no longer be restrained by the major families."
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun raised his head and looked at the Sacred Star City. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he exuded confidence. He smiled as he looked at the drastic changes in the Sacred Star City, and even the 18 Ancient Cities.
The noisy situation in the Sacred Star City did not spread to the Wind Willow Residence. This place was completely enveloped by the Disaster Spiritual Pearl, as if it was isolated from the outside world. Everywhere was quiet.
In the hall, Liu Mengyan was sitting at the head of the table.
In front of her were naturally the senior figures of the major families. There were a lot of them, more than a hundred people, and they seemed to be led by the four major families. They all had a proud expression.
"We have discussed for half a night. What is the decision of the Liu family?" Duan Chun's voice rang out. He faced Liu Mengyan directly, and he did not stand up to reply. His gaze was very casual.
"Don't you think this decision is a little ridiculous?" Liu Mengyan raised her head and looked at Duan Chun. She only smiled coldly, and her face was filled with disgust.
"The Four Great Clans are the leaders and they control the other clans. They also have the support of countless people. In front of this power, it is extremely easy for them to govern the Eighteen Ancient Cities. Even governing the Eighteen Dynasties is not a problem. How is it ridiculous for us to ask for fifty percent of the authority over the Eighteen Ancient Cities and Eighteen Dynasties?" Mo Wuwei stood up and said with a wink.
"That's right. Our request is already the lowest of the low. If Pavilion Master Luo Yun continues to govern, it will only lead to more serious chaos. The chaos in the 18 Ancient Cities is the best proof." Teng Ji sighed and pretended to be helpless.
After the two of them spoke, the senior figures of the major families immediately spoke up. They all supported the four major families. Their words and actions caused Liu Mengyan's expression to become more and more disgusted. It was as if she was looking at a group of wishful thinking leeches.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a black-clothed man walked into the hall. He came to Liu Mengyan's side and whispered a few words in her ear. His actions were very mysterious.
When the crowd saw this, they immediately stopped talking. The four family heads looked at each other and crossed their arms in front of their hearts. They were full of confidence.
"You can leave." After a moment, Liu Mengyan waved her hand and dismissed the black-clothed man. Her heart was filled with joy, but she deliberately put on a solemn expression and frowned.
Mo Wuwei's triangular eyes flashed with a cunning brilliance. He cleared his throat and said, "Judging from the time, Pavilion Master Luo Yun's second lecture should be over. Did that person just now report the results of the lecture?"
"This has nothing to do with you, right?" Liu Mengyan glared at Mo Wuwei and snorted coldly.
Seeing this, Mo Wuwei revealed a proud expression. He curled his lips and said sarcastically, "Pavilion Master Luo Yun's first lecture was too amazing. It made me feel emotional. This second lecture will definitely be very exciting. Right now, the Saint Star City and even the eighteen ancient cities will definitely be in an uproar. Everyone will be talking about this lecture."
"I'm really curious about what Pavilion Master Luo Yun's second lecture will say. It's really a pity that I couldn't be there to hear it." Ou Zhongkui added. Immediately, the senior figures of the major families sneered. They all saw Chu Xingyun's lecture as a joke and wanted to mock it.
"Shut up!"
Liu Mengyan suddenly shouted and interrupted everyone's laughter. However, her face was gloomy and she said coldly, "You don't need to worry about the lecture. Now, let's discuss the distribution of the eighteen ancient cities and the eighteen dynasties again. This matter has a great impact. Before we reach a conclusion, no one is allowed to leave this place."
After speaking, Liu Mengyan sighed deeply. She stretched out her hand and pinched her eyes. She put on a conflicted expression.
When everyone saw her expression, they were even more certain of their thoughts. They all felt that Chu Xingyun's second lecture was a joke again. The smile on their faces grew wider.
The four family heads were the same. They shrugged and their faces were full of laughter and pride.
