Lowering the Last Guard
Chu Xing Yun's words caused the entire area to become deathly silent. Even the endless sounds of people breaking through the air disappeared without a trace. They were all deeply shocked by his words.
The four Patriarchs and the senior members of the family had angered the crowd and violated the law. It could be said that their crimes were monstrous and everyone had the right to punish them. However, Chu Xingyun didn't want to be judged. Why?
The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall were stunned. They looked at each other and were about to ask, but they saw Chu Xingyun waving his hand. He stepped lightly and slowly flew into the night sky.
He came to a high place and looked down at everyone. His voice was mixed with spiritual power and spread throughout the entire Saint Star City. He said, "The Ancient Star Sect's family system has been around for thousands of years. The bloodline has been passed down from generation to generation. It's no exaggeration to say that the blood flowing in your body comes from the five major families."
"According to the law, these people should be executed and their families should be punished. How many people in the eighteen ancient cities are not part of the nine major families? Should I kill them all and pile up their corpses into a mountain?"
Thump!
The crowd's hearts trembled and they held their breaths.
The Ancient Star Sect was a family system. The family bloodline was passed down from generation to generation. Everyone had the family bloodline flowing in their body. This was an indisputable fact. Even Chu Xingyun had the family bloodline in his body.
According to the law, all of them couldn't escape death. Chu Xingyun was the same. He should be executed.
This was why when the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall passed down the sentence, many people's expressions changed drastically. They had thought of this point and felt a heavy pressure. It was extremely uncomfortable.
For a moment, the emotional crowd stopped talking. Their expressions sank and they felt depressed. The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall frowned and thought that this matter was tricky.
As for the senior members of the family, their eyes shone brightly. They felt that they had found a way to survive. However, the four Patriarchs didn't change much. They secretly looked at Chu Xingyun.
"These people have done a lot of evil. This is true. However, they have been in charge of the family and stabilized the situation in the eighteen ancient cities. This can't be ignored. Moreover, the reason why they have come to this point today is because they dislike me and want to strengthen the family system."
Chu Xingyun was silent for a while, but his voice was still the same as before, "This matter originated from me, so it's a little unfair to judge everything according to the law. Moreover, we all have the blood of our clans flowing in our veins. If we start a massacre and pave the way with corpses, it will make you feel uneasy, and you won't be able to face the spirits of the Ancient Star Sect's ancestors.
. "After the crowd heard Chu Xingyun's words, they suddenly felt the heavy feeling in their hearts disappear. They looked at Chu Xingyun and sighed emotionally.
In their view, Chu Xingyun's words and actions were all for them and the eighteen ancient cities. Although he knew that these people deserved to die, he didn't have the heart to judge them for the sake of the big picture.
More importantly, although Chu Xingyun hadn't acknowledged his ancestors, he didn't neglect the family and the ancestors of the Ancient Star Sect. This made the crowd sigh. They looked at Chu Xingyun with fiery eyes.
"However, although you can avoid death, you can't escape punishment!" Chu Xingyun spat out a cold and solemn word, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
In his field of vision, Chu Xingyun moved his eyes, taking in the four family heads and the senior members of the older generation. He said word by word, "The crimes you have committed are too serious. Even if you have contributed to the Eighteen Ancient Cities, don't even think about escaping punishment."
"From today onwards, you will be deprived of all your freedom and be sentenced to life imprisonment. This punishment is to let you see with your own eyes whether the eighteen ancient cities will become more and more prosperous under my leadership. Or will it be like what you have said, where the people can't make a living and can't escape destruction?"
At the end, Chu Xingyun's aura became fierce.
His judgment contained a touch of sharpness that could be clearly felt by all the people of the Sacred Star City. In the depths of their hearts, a raging flame was instantly ignited.
Chu Xingyun had exempted the four Patriarchs and the elders from the death penalty. This made them heave a sigh of relief. They were also moved by Chu Xingyun's consideration.
At this moment, Chu Xingyun's words were not only a sentence, but also a vision. He wanted to lead all the people to revitalize the eighteen ancient cities. He wanted to use actions to prove that his reform wasn't wrong. It was the right path.
This immediately resonated with the people in the crowd.
"Everything that Pavilion Master Luo Yun has done for us is deeply engraved in our minds. We are willing to follow Pavilion Master Luo Yun for generations and will never betray him!" A person couldn't suppress the surging emotions in his heart. He took a step forward and knelt down.
"With such a leader, what more can we ask for? The eighteen ancient cities will definitely prosper and return to the glory of the past!"
"From today onwards, we are both members of the Patriarchs and members of the Wanjian Pavilion. There is no distinction between you and me. We will only follow Pavilion Master Luo Yun!"
The crowd's shouts became louder and louder. In the end, the entire Sacred Star City trembled. The sound waves rushed into the sky and scattered the clouds. Everyone was expressing their support and support for Chu Xingyun.
Chu Xing Yun looked at the excited crowd and a faint smile appeared on his face. However, at this moment, no one noticed that in the depths of his eyes, there was a ferocious glint that flashed past.
Chu Xingyun had long wanted to kill the four Patriarchs and elders. Tonight, this killing intent was condensed to the extreme. He couldn't wait to tear them into pieces.
However, Chu Xingyun knew that the Patriarchs' system had a deep influence on the eighteen ancient cities. It couldn't be disintegrated in a short time.
Killing these people could indeed vent his hatred. However, to the Five Great Families and the millions of people in the eighteen ancient cities, it would definitely cast a shadow over them. Everyone would be in danger and their hearts would be heavy.
On the contrary, if he didn't kill these people today, he would only imprison them for life. This would make the people let down their last guard and support him completely. They would willingly join the Wanjian Pavilion.
In the center, the four Patriarchs' expressions changed slightly after hearing the sentence. Their eyes were shrouded in a thick chill. They raised their heads and met Chu Xingyun's deep eyes with a hint of madness.
"Luo Yun, I admit that your methods are indeed tyrannical. Even if the four of us join forces, we are still far from being your match. However, you don't dare to kill us in the end. Otherwise, the people of the Eighteen Ancient Cities would never willingly submit to you!
A sinister expression gradually appeared on Duan Chun's ash-white face.
He didn't look at the upper echelons of the Patriarchs, nor did he look at the commoners. He coldly stared at Chu Xingyun. "Yes, the four of us have been defeated. However, this result will make you unable to vent the anger in your heart. This is enough!"
The four Patriarchs knew that they had no chance to turn the situation around. They had already given up all hope. What they were doing now was to disgust Chu Xingyun and obtain a trace of pleasure from it. It could be said that they were sick to the extreme.
"Is that so?"
Chu Xingyun didn't reveal any anger because of Duan Chun's words. He shook his head and sneered. In a voice that only he could hear, he said in his heart, "Life doesn't mean that we can survive by luck. Death doesn't mean that we will die with hatred. Between life and death, there is a difference between life and death …"
In his vision, Chu Xingyun's face became colder and colder.
His pitch-black eyes reflected the ugly faces of the four Patriarchs, faintly flickering with a cold demonic light.
However, he didn't immediately vent the coldness in his heart. Instead, he slowly retracted his gaze.
Whoosh!
Chu Xingyun flicked his sleeves and a group of disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall stepped out from the crowd. They directly escorted the four Patriarchs and the upper echelons of the older generation. Their figures flashed and disappeared into the light of dawn.
"After this matter is over, there will be no more turmoil in the eighteen ancient cities. No one will be able to shake the control of Wanjian Pavilion."
