It's all nonsense!
As soon as Duan Chun finished speaking, the three clan leaders beside him stepped forward. A majestic and inviolable aura bloomed and pressed down on Chu Xingyun unscrupulously.
In terms of cultivation and strength, they were naturally no match for Chu Xingyun. However, this was the Disciplinary Hall. Regardless of cultivation or status, the only thing that mattered was the justice of the law.
Chu Xingyun's previous actions had already made the law of law deeply ingrained in people's hearts. Even the Pavilion Master of Wanjian Pavilion couldn't ignore the law. Because of this, the four of them came to the Disciplinary Hall and dared to be so arrogant.
"Things that belong to you?" Chu Xingyun lowered his eyebrows and muttered. He didn't feel angry at Duan Chun's arrogant tone at all. Instead, the corner of his mouth curled up, as if he had heard something funny.
Seeing this, Teng Ji snorted and immediately said, "The Ancient Star Sect has been passed down for thousands of years. Since the beginning of the sect, the Main Clan and the Five Great Families were established. The Main Clan had a high status and was in charge of the overall situation while the Five Great Families were in charge of the Eighteen Ancient Cities. Therefore, everything in the Eighteen Ancient Cities, no matter how valuable it was, belonged to the Five Great Families. No one could violate or change it. This was the foundation of the Sect!"
"After the bloody battle, the Main Clan declined. The Liu Family took over the Main Clan's position and ruled the Ancient Star Sect. All the matters in the Eighteen Ancient Cities were handed over to us. The higher-ups of the Main Clans did their best to save the Eighteen Ancient Cities from decline. Just as things were getting better, you took the authority of the Eighteen Ancient Cities into your own pocket and divided it wantonly, causing the Eighteen Ancient Cities to fall apart!" Mo Wuwei's whole body was filled with coldness.
"Today's Eighteen Ancient Cities are no longer the Ancient Star Sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. It's like a plate of loose sand, and there is no cohesion at all. You have the blood of your family flowing in your veins, but you have done such a heartless and stupid thing. Now, not only will the four of us take back everything, but we will also deprive you of your rights and status. Only in this way can the souls of the ancestors of the Ancient Star Sect be able to rest in peace in the underworld!" When Ou Zhongkui finished speaking, he directly knelt down on both knees, looked up at the sky, and roared.
When the higher-ups of the older generation heard these words, they all knelt down one after another. Sometimes they howled, sometimes they wailed, and their mouths even muttered the teachings of their ancestors, causing the scene to become extremely strange.
However, Chu Xingyun remained expressionless. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and shook his head. He had no intention of refuting.
But unlike Chu Xingyun's indifference, the expressions of the onlookers changed when they heard the dignified words of the four Patriarchs. All of them frowned, their gazes became calm, and even their breathing became a little rapid.
There were even some whose pupils shrank as they stood motionless in place. Their hands hidden in their sleeves trembled, and they felt cold to the touch.
"The patriarchs of the four families came to the Disciplinary Hall to take back the properties, businesses, and power of the Eighteen Ancient Cities. In other words, they want to return to the family system of the past?" someone asked in a trembling voice.
"If that's really the case, then all the properties and shops we own now will return to the four great clans. Then, wouldn't all the Spirit Stones and resources we paid before become a waste?" One of them responded, and his face was completely pale.
"Not only that, but they also want to deprive Luo Yun of his power and status. This clearly shows that the four Patriarchs want to take all the power and authority in the Eighteen Ancient Cities. What we can get will be even less, or even nothing."
Words filled with fear slowly came out from the mouths of the crowd. Their words were very weak, but they contained an inexplicable power that was deeply imprinted in the depths of everyone's hearts.
Many people's minds were in chaos. Fear, nervousness, helplessness, and all kinds of negative emotions crazily surged, causing the entire space to fall into a deathly silence.
Their trembling eyes didn't look at the patriarchs of the four great clans, nor did they look at the upper echelons of the clans. Instead, they looked at Chu Xingyun, and strange thoughts appeared in their minds.
Only at this moment did they realize how great the impact of Chu Xingyun's reforms were on them.
Just as Teng Ji had said, since the establishment of the Ancient Star Sect, all the power and authority in the Eighteen Ancient Cities belonged to the Patriarchs. No one could change or seize it.
In other words, it was all thanks to the Wanjian Pavilion and Chu Xingyun that they could obtain these properties, shops, power, and realize their dreams and ambitions.
If Chu Xingyun was deprived of his power, all of this would return to how it was before. The Patriarchs would still rule the Eighteen Ancient Cities, and they would still have to submit to the Patriarchs and be controlled by them.
Furthermore, these laws that were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people would be completely overturned and become a thing of the past. The vast majority of the people would not be protected by the laws and would once again become helpless duckweeds that depended on the Patriarchs.
"We paid Spirit Stones and resources to obtain properties and shops, but all of this has to rely on the existence of Pavilion Master Luo Yun. If he leaves, we will be nothing. We will have nothing." This soft voice seemed to have struck a chord in the hearts of the people, and they all recovered from their fear.
However, they did not know how to refute the Patriarchs of the Four Great Families. They wanted to say something, but not a word came out. They could only grit their teeth and suffer in their hearts.
What the Patriarchs of the Four Great Families said was indeed the ancestral rule of the Ancient Star Sect, and also the ancestral teachings.
The ancestral teachings had been passed down for thousands of years and could not be disobeyed.
The Ancient Star Sect had existed for thousands of years, and countless heroic souls were buried underground. They could not be ignored.
If anyone violated the ancestral rules and ignored the ancestral teachings, they would be expelled from the Patriarchs of the Ancient Star Sect. Everything they owned would be taken away, and even Chu Xingyun was no exception.
"Luo Yun, you should give up your power and status now. This will also save some face for you. You won't look too bad in front of the ancestors of the Ancient Star Sect." Duan Chun coldly snorted. His expression was solemn, and his voice was solemn. It was as if his words represented the ancestors of the Ancient Star Sect, and he wanted to ask Chu Xingyun about his crimes.
When the surrounding crowd heard this, their gazes towards Chu Xingyun surged with waves of fear and nervousness. Some people even felt their knees go weak, and they directly collapsed onto the ground, as if they would faint at any moment.
"The four of you have been talking for a long time. Why is it all nonsense?"
Just as the crowd was about to fall into panic, a sneer suddenly came from Chu Xingyun's mouth.
