Going to Court
What?!
The crowd was stunned. Even though they had heard it with their own ears, they still couldn't believe it.
After the bloody battle, all the families had joined forces to resist Chu Xingyun. They were bound together for good or ill. Their relationship was very close and inseparable.
Now, Luo Yunyang had only invited them, but the other side had acted so strangely. Not only had they ridiculed them, but they also wanted to send them to the Punishment Hall to suffer the pain of imprisonment.
Such a huge change was too sudden. No one had expected it!
"We have also encountered the same situation. Those families seem to be very supportive of Luo Yun. They don't hate and resist him at all," a few other people said in low voices. Their voices were also bitter.
After all, when they left Wind Willow Residence, they were extremely complacent, and their minds were filled with thoughts of how to divide up the enormous resources and become people above others. Never had they imagined that what awaited them was a completely new Hallowed Star City.
On the surface, nothing in the Saint Star City seemed to have changed. But in fact, everything had changed. Even the people of those clans had changed. They had become incomprehensible.
"No wonder Liu Mengyan took the initiative to invite us to Wind Willow Residence half a month ago. It turns out that this was all part of a scheme. The reason was to buy time for Luo Yun to vigorously carry out the reform." Duan Chun recalled the whole matter and quickly understood.
"Luo Yun is really cunning. He actually came up with such a vicious plan!" Many people felt uncomfortable as their hopes were dashed. They were so angry that their faces turned ashen. When they thought of the situation, their expressions immediately became gloomy.
"Now that Luo Yun's scheme has succeeded, not only have we lost everything, but we have also become the target of scorn. Everyone wants to beat us up. It will be difficult to recover what we lost." Someone said helplessly. As soon as he finished speaking, the higher-ups of the families sighed helplessly. They felt powerless.
"Not necessarily!"
Just as everyone was sighing, Teng Ji, who had been silent all this time, strode over. His eyes were gloomy to the extreme as he said in a sinister voice, "Luo Yun used a scheme to steal everything from us. What we can do now is to take everything back. Moreover, we have to forcefully take it back in front of everyone!"
Teng Ji's words were sharp, causing the crowd to be stunned. They looked over and saw that he and the other three Clan Heads had already walked out of the Myriad Star Tower.
At the same time, in the courtyard of the Liu family …
Chu Xingyun, Liu Mengyan, and Chu Xingchen were resting in a pavilion by the lake. A gentle breeze blew past, causing the jade-like clear lake water to ripple. Low chuckles could be heard one after another, revealing a sense of leisure and tranquility.
During the period of reform, the chaos in the 18 ancient cities no longer existed. The people no longer resisted the Wanjian Pavilion. Everyone resisted the beast tide and lived and worked in peace. Gradually, there was a trend of revitalization and prosperity.
Taking advantage of this great opportunity, Chu Xingchen began to manage the three hundred thousand young students. He either assigned them or reviewed them. The entire process was very smooth and there was not the slightest bit of resistance.
On the other side, Liu Mengyan also began to manage the higher-ups of the various families. After these people obtained property and business, they strived forward to develop. The degree of popularity was something that even the Ancient Star Sect at its peak couldn't compare to.
"The family system is beneficial to the stability of the Ancient Star Sect, but at the same time, it will restrict the development of the families. Now that the people have seen the path to development, everyone is eager to move forward. We only need to guide them a little and they can sweep away the decline in the 18 ancient cities and recover in the shortest time possible." Chu Xingchen spat out a mouthful of turbid air and expressed his opinion.
After this period of management, Chu Xingchen gradually revealed his talent. When he spoke, his eyes flickered with a sharp light and there was no embarrassment or bitterness on his face.
Liu Mengyan saw the change in Chu Xingyun and a faint smile appeared on her face. She glanced at Chu Xingyun and her face was filled with happiness.
"Master." At this moment, Ning Lefan's voice suddenly sounded. In their field of vision, they saw him rushing over with a trace of anger between his brows.
"What's wrong?" Chu Xingyun asked slowly.
"Just now, the four Patriarchs came to the Punishment Hall and said that they wanted to confront you face to face. The momentum was so strong that it quickly attracted a crowd. This matter has already spread throughout Saint Star City and caused an uproar." When Ning Lefan mentioned the four Patriarchs, he couldn't help but feel disdain in his heart.
"They came quite quickly." Chu Xingyun was not surprised by Ning Lefan's words. Instead, he revealed a playful expression and said to Liu Mengyan and Chu Xingchen, "Father, mother, let's go to the Punishment Hall together."
"Okay." Chu Xingchen and Liu Mengyan also had playful expressions. They stood up and followed Chu Xingyun's footsteps towards the Punishment Hall.
It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the Punishment Hall.
At this moment, the Punishment Hall was surrounded by countless people. The number was so large that it was probably close to a million. At a glance, one could see many overlapping figures. Just the sound of discussion was like bursts of thunder.
"Pavilion Master Luo Yun is here." In the crowd, someone saw Chu Xingyun's figure.
As these words fell, the scene fell silent. Countless burning gazes swept over and landed on Chu Xingyun. The crowd even took the initiative to open a path and watched Chu Xingyun enter.
Inside the Punishment Hall, the four Patriarchs stood with their chests puffed out. When they saw this scene, their expressions became abnormally ugly. They all let out a cold snort and stared at Chu Xingyun as if they were looking at a thief.
"The four of you, long time no see." Chu Xingyun slowly walked to the center of the Punishment Hall. He glanced at the four Patriarchs and then at the indignant senior members of the family. His expression was calm and indifferent, without the slightest trace of emotion.
The senior members of the family were already burning with anger because of what had happened today. When they saw Chu Xingyun's calm appearance, they couldn't help but feel even more furious. They couldn't help but curse.
However, as soon as they spoke, the ashen-faced Duan Chun suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped these people from cursing. He took a step forward and arrived in front of Chu Xingyun.
"Luo Yun, we've seen through all your tricks. There's no need to put on an act." Duan Chun spoke. There was no trace of the usual sarcasm in his voice, only coldness and anger.
