Condemned by the Masses
The originally tense atmosphere instantly dissipated without a trace because of Chu Xingyun's words. The surrounding crowd was stunned as they looked at Chu Xingyun, forgetting the fear and anxiety in their hearts as they stared at him in unison.
"What do you mean by that? You, you actually dare to go against the ancestral teachings!" Duan Chun pointed at Chu Xingyun angrily. All the elders behind him were also furious. They wanted to shout at Chu Xingyun.
"Do you greedy people have the right to talk about the ancestral teachings in public?" Liu Mengyan had been suppressing her anger all this time, but when she saw the current state of the four great families, she finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Mother, please calm down." Chu Xingyun waved his hand, gesturing for Liu Mengyan to step back for the time being. Then, he looked at the four patriarchs again and sneered.
"It's true that the blood of the family flows in my body, but I have yet to acknowledge my ancestors. At this moment, you are talking about the family rules and ancestral teachings in front of me, and even want to deprive me of my rights and status according to the rules. Isn't this a bit ridiculous?" As soon as Chu Xingyun's words fell, the four patriarchs were stunned and were suddenly speechless.
Without waiting for them to refute, Chu Xingyun's voice rang out again. "After the bloody battle, I became the Pavilion Master of Wanjian Pavilion. The Ancient Star Sect was also incorporated into Wanjian Pavilion and became part of my territory. The current eighteen ancient cities belong to Wanjian Pavilion, and the laws and rules that you have to abide by also come from Wanjian Pavilion, not the Ancient Star Sect."
"You bunch of vainly ambitious people. You came to my city and stepped into my Punishment Hall. Yet, you keep saying that you want to follow the rules of the Ancient Star Sect. Just based on this point alone, you guys are committing treason."
"This world belongs to Wanjian Pavilion, and it belongs to the people of this world, not to your four great families!"
As the last sentence fell, a vigorous and dignified aura was released, filling the entire space. The faces of the elders who were kneeling and shouting just now turned pale as they froze on the spot.
As for the four patriarchs, it was as if thunder had exploded in their minds. They no longer had the solemn expression from before, nor did they speak righteously of the ancestral teachings. They were all stunned, and their bodies even swayed a little.
"Chu Xingyun, you are simply …" Ou Zhongkui was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices. He suddenly stood up and was about to scold Chu Xingyun, but just as he said a few words, the crowd outside the Punishment Hall suddenly became chaotic.
In their eyes, Luo Luo's Luo Luo, Luo, Luo, Luo, of Luo. Luo Luo.
"Pavilion Master Luo Yun is right. The 18 ancient cities now belong to Wanjian Pavilion, and it belongs to all of us. You greedy people are not qualified to speak. Get out immediately!"
"Pavilion Master Luo Yun's reform measures have only been implemented for half a month, and the 18 ancient cities have shown signs of revitalization. Everyone lives and works in peace and prosperity, and the development is hot. If the families take control again, it will only become more and more declined."
"You elders would rather let the 18 ancient cities fall into the hands of Daluo Golden Sect and Divine Firmament Palace than be controlled by Wanjian Pavilion in order to seize power. You are not thinking of the people at all. You are only greedy!"
The crowd had long been resentful of the four patriarchs. They felt fear and anxiety just now because the family system had long been deeply ingrained. Subconsciously, they still had a heart of reverence.
However, Chu Xingyun's sonorous words finally woke them up. The Ancient Star Sect had declined and was urgently waiting to live in seclusion and become a hidden family. The 18 ancient cities were now under the control of Wanjian Pavilion.
They had to respect the Ancient Star Sect's family rules and ancestral teachings. There was no need for them to fear or blindly obey. However, they had to support Chu Xingyun and not allow anyone to refute him.
Only in this way could they have everything they had now and get more of what they wanted.
"Support Pavilion Master Luo Yun. Five families, get out of here!" At this time, a person stood up high and stared coldly at the four patriarchs as he shouted loudly.
"Support Pavilion Master Luo Yun. Five families, get out of here!" The crowd also shouted loudly. They did not shout themselves hoarse, but every word came from the bottom of their hearts. They were full of disdain for the four patriarchs and the elders of the families.
Among them, there were many family members. They snorted coldly in front of the people in the Disciplinary Hall. They were all willing to support Chu Xingyun wholeheartedly.
"This, this …" When the four Patriarchs and the higher-ups of the older generation saw this scene, they were so shocked that their faces turned pale. The bursts of shouts were like the waves of the sea, sweeping over wave after wave, and every sound fiercely pounded on their hearts.
Apart from them, there were almost a million people in the Disciplinary Hall supporting Chu Xingyun. They were like a small boat that could be drowned at any time.
This scene was too terrifying!
The crowd finally understood Chu Xingyun's significance to the 18 ancient cities. There was nothing but support in their hearts. The four patriarchs in front of them saw him as a criminal.
If this was not the Disciplinary Hall, they would have rushed up and forced the four patriarchs out.
"Now, what else do you have to say?" Chu Xingyun was still staring at the four patriarchs in front of him. Even the tone of his voice did not change. He smiled and looked at the situation calmly.
The four patriarchs' faces became extremely ugly because of the support of the crowd. Even the last bit of support in their hearts disappeared. It was as if they had been betrayed and had no one to rely on.
"Luo Yun, you're so ruthless. You're worse than a beast!" Duan Chun gritted his teeth. Now, not only did they have nothing, they were also standing on the opposite side of the crowd. Saying that they were scurrying rats was an understatement.
"Isn't this what you brought upon yourselves?"
Chu Xing Yun retracted his gaze, and his face gradually turned cold. "I didn't want to do this at first. It's you who think you're wise and astute. If you want to play tricks with me, then I can only play along with you."
"You people have lived for more than half of your lives and held countless positions of power. Don't you know that this is how the world works? Even if you suffer losses and get beaten up, you can't cry out loud. Even if your teeth are broken, you have to swallow it down with blood."
"If you don't dare to play, then don't play. Since you want to play, then you have to be able to play."
The four patriarchs' previous words and actions had already angered Chu Xingyun. The current situation was what they brought upon themselves.
Especially the four patriarchs. Not only were they greedy, they were insatiable. They wanted to seize the resources of the 18 ancient cities and the Eighteen Dynasties to become the strongest.
