The contents of the scroll were very simple. It clearly stated that this courtyard belonged to Wanjian Pavilion and that the middle-aged man in purple had officially obtained the right to live there by paying spirit stones.
More importantly, there was the unique seal of Wanjian Pavilion on the scroll. This meant that this matter had been acknowledged by Wanjian Pavilion and no one could change it privately.
"How can this be? What is going on? " Mo Wuwei's mind was filled with doubts. He raised his head and found the middle-aged man in purple staring at him coldly. He reached out and snatched the scroll back.
"The deed clearly states that I am the owner of this courtyard. Patriarch Mo, please leave now. If you continue to force me, then you are trespassing and should be punished severely!" The middle-aged man in purple tightened his clothes and did not give Mo Wuwei any face at all.
Mo Wuwei was already puzzled and when he heard this, he felt a surge of anger in his heart. However, he did not make a move in the end. He glared fiercely at the middle-aged man in purple and then turned to leave.
"There has never been such a thing as a house deed in Sacred Star City. It seems that something big must have happened in Sacred Star City during this period of time. I wonder if the others …" Mo Wuwei muttered to himself in his heart. Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Duan Chun rushing over from not far away. He seemed to be in a hurry.
After a while, Duan Chun landed from mid-air and said breathlessly, "Patriarch Mo, I just returned to my residence. As soon as I entered the door, I saw someone forcefully occupying my courtyard. I wanted to punish them severely but unexpectedly, they took out a deed and said that the courtyard belonged to them and forced me out."
"What? Your courtyard was also forcefully occupied? "Mo Wuwei's mouth was wide open as he exclaimed.
"Also?"
Duan Chun was stunned and looked at Mo Wuwei in shock, "Could it be that your courtyard …"
Whoosh!
An ear-piercing sound broke through the air and interrupted Duan Chun's words. The person who had arrived was actually the towering Ou Zhongkui.
His face was filled with anxiety and confusion. As soon as he landed, he rushed straight to the two of them. His hands were clenched into fists and his mouth was open, but because of his anxiety, he couldn't say a word.
"The Ou Clan's Lord is in such a hurry. Could it be that your courtyard has also been forcibly occupied?" Duan Chun and Mo Wu Wei glanced at each other, and speculated resentfully.
"How did you know?" Ou Zhongkui's pupils suddenly shrank, and his voice was full of resentment as he said, "Not only my courtyard, but my three pavilions and five shops have all been forcibly occupied. What's more annoying is that those people have the so-called contract in their hands, and they also said that they have the support of Wanjian Pavilion, so I can't get close to them!"
When the two heard Ou Zhong Kui's words, their expressions froze for a moment. Then, their faces unconsciously twitched. Finally, they let out a strange cry at the same time. Then, they madly ran away.
When Ou Zhongkui saw their strange actions, he felt even more confused. His figure flickered, and he quickly followed them.
Such a scene was playing out all over Sacred Star City.
The high-ranking members of the clans who had just returned from Wind Willow Residence seemed to have fallen into a frenzy. They let out strange cries as they hurriedly ran away. This caused many people to sneer in a low voice.
When the blazing sun set in the west, a group of high-ranking members of the clans gathered in the Myriad Star Building. The four Clan Lords were still at the head of the table. At this moment, their complexions were extremely unsightly, and the atmosphere in the space was even more tense.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, a figure stepped on the air, and slowly landed in the center of the main hall. It immediately attracted the attention of the crowd. Even the four Clan Lords looked over, and the coldness in their bodies gradually dissipated.
"What's the situation?" Duan Chun asked. His gaze was very cold, and anyone who came into contact with it couldn't help but tremble in fear.
"Reporting to Clan Lord Duan, after our investigation, Luo Yun publicly announced a series of reform measures in his second sermon. In short, all the real estate, businesses, and power in the 18 Ancient Cities will be taken over, and these will be divided and given to every citizen." A middle-aged man knelt down, opened his hands, and handed over a scroll.
This scroll recorded the content of Chu Xingyun's second sermon without missing a word. In addition, it also recorded the changes in the 18 Ancient Cities during this period of time.
When the high-ranking members of the clans saw the contents of the scroll, their expressions became even colder. Everyone's hands, which were hidden in their sleeves, clenched tightly. Even if their sharp nails pierced into their palms, they didn't feel the slightest pain.
What's more, many people's bodies were trembling. Violent Spiritual Power overflowed uncontrollably and filled every corner of the main hall, causing the space to emit muffled sounds.
"Luo Yun, you thief. You actually took over my real estate and businesses while I wasn't here, and you even sold these resources to the citizens. What right do you have to do this!?"
"His actions are worse than an animal. They don't conform to the law at all. Isn't he afraid of incurring public anger?"
"Our clan has existed for several hundred years, and our resources are abundant. In just half a month, they've all been divided up, and all the benefits belong to Luo Yun. I can't accept this, I can't accept this!"
A high-ranking member of the clan beat his chest and stomped his feet as he roared furiously. They had completely lost their previous arrogance. Looking at the scarlet sunset, they wanted nothing more than to charge into the courtyard of the Liu clan and tear Chu Xingyun to pieces.
These people's real estate, shops, and power had all been divided up. Not even the slightest bit was left. Right now, they had nothing. They were even worse than beggars. How could they let Chu Xingyun off?
The expressions of the four patriarchs changed constantly. Their losses were even greater. They didn't even have a courtyard. When they thought of the words they said at the Wind Willow Residence today, they felt their faces burning. It was incomparably uncomfortable.
"We can't tolerate Luo Yun's actions. They're mine, so I must take them back!" Mo Wuwei stood up angrily. He was the patriarch of the Mo clan, but he couldn't even own a courtyard. If news of this spread, wouldn't he become a laughing stock?
"Patriarch Mo, please wait!" Seeing that Mo Wuwei was about to walk out of the Myriad Star Pavilion, the men hurriedly stopped him. Their eyes flickered, and their faces were filled with embarrassment.
One of them walked forward and sighed, "Patriarch Mo, when we were collecting information, we met many people from other clans. We immediately sent out invitations, hoping that they would act together and stir up chaos in the eighteen ancient cities again, so as to resist Luo Yun's violence and deal a heavy blow to the Wanjian Pavilion."
Hearing this, Mo Wuwei and the other upper echelons of the clans were shaken. Since Chu Xingyun had done such a thing, they didn't want to be restrained anymore. They wanted to ruthlessly take revenge.
"Our clans are so powerful that we can easily plunge the eighteen ancient cities into chaos again. This time, not only will we plunge the eighteen ancient cities into chaos, but we will also make Luo Yun regret it!" Mo Wuwei spat out angrily. The rest of the people were also indignant, and they wanted to vent their anger.
However, the angrier they were, the uglier their expressions became. Their bodies trembled even more.
In the end, one of them said resentfully, "After we sent out the invitations, not only did those clans not agree, they even ridiculed us, saying that we were stupid people. They also asked us to leave the eighteen ancient cities immediately and scram as far as we can, and never come back. Otherwise …"
Thinking of the scene just now, that person immediately stopped talking. Mo Wuwei anxiously rushed forward and grabbed his collar, "Otherwise what? Say it now!"
