In the meeting hall of Situ's family, dark clouds were covering at this time, and many people looked a little embarrassed.
"Great Elder, the Wang family and the Wan family have been acting like mad dogs these days, attacking our Situ family's shops," the subordinates reported: "We have several alchemy workshops and weapon pavilions that have been forced to close."
"In the past, our three families were still developing peacefully. I didn't expect that as soon as my father left, they couldn't help it." The eldest son Situ Bo said angrily: "If you want me to say, let's fight with them and let them know that we are not good. Please be more restrained in doing things."
"Even if you want to fight now, you can't do it anymore," the elder said without raising his head, "The Patriarch is at the peak of the True Pulse Realm, and he has been holding each other back with the Patriarchs of the other two.
Now he is gone, how to fight? "
"Now that our Situ family is panicking, I think it's better to choose a capable leader first," said the second son, Situ Yu, who stood up.
"I think what the second brother said makes sense. The younger brother is not talented, but he is also well-read in poetry and books. He is willing to lead our Situ family through this crisis," said the third son, Situ Jing, in a firm tone.
"Third brother is serious. As the saying goes, an older brother is like a father. Since my father is gone, I, the eldest brother, naturally have the responsibility to provoke the leader," Situ Bo said hastily.
"I think the position of the head of the family cannot be chosen according to size. After all, it is related to the interests of the entire family, but depends on ability." Situ Yu said neither humble nor overbearing: "I think I still have some talents."
The Great Elder who sat at the top frowned, slapped the table angrily, and said: "For the position of Patriarch, it's inappropriate to quarrel like this. I will temporarily act as the Patriarch, and we will talk about it when there is a new candidate." .”
"The Great Elder should at least set a standard, or if we have a match, the one who wins can inherit the position of Patriarch," the three brothers looked at each other at the same time, looking at the Great Elder and said.
Although the competition among the three of them was great, and they were all determined to win the position of Patriarch, they didn't want to just let the third elder take advantage of it.
...
Situ Yunqing sat in the corner silently, looking at the quarreling crowd, she couldn't help but feel sad for this family.
A heartfelt sadness.
These people all want to seize power, but they have no ability, and they are all for selfish desires, and they don't care about the safety of the family at all.
Situ Yunqing even felt that if the Situ family was handed over to her to manage, they would be much better than these people.
It's a pity that I have no power and power, and I can't fight for anything at all.
At this time, the first person that came to her mind was Xu Zimo.
She also found out the identity of the other party. It is said that he is a disciple of Zhenwu Shengzong, and his background is not low.
Situ Yunqing was thinking, she also didn't want to be a vase and just live her life in such an ordinary way.
Three days later, because of the secret confrontation between the three major families of Zhou Que City, the people in the city were a little worried, and there was a feeling that the city was about to be destroyed by dark clouds, and the mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building.
"I heard that Situ Bo, the eldest son of the Situ family, was assassinated the day before yesterday."
In the restaurant, someone was discussing in a low voice, "Who says it's not? This Situ family is really in trouble. I heard that their second son was also assassinated last night."
"How did I hear that their third son seems to have been assassinated?"
The restaurant was crowded with people, but most of the conversations were about Situ's family.
Many people are not very optimistic about the future of the Situ family.
"Do you think it was the Wang and Wan families who did it? They want to take the opportunity to destroy the Situ family and change the situation of the three-legged confrontation."
"Who knows, maybe it was the Situ family who did it themselves, and they all want to compete for the position of Patriarch."
...
In the guest room of Linjiang Restaurant, Xu Zimo was listening to Xiao Guizi's report, tapping his right hand rhythmically on the window sill.
"I have already reminded the Wang family and the Wan family that they never sent anyone to assassinate them," Xiao Guizi said, "Those assassinations should have been done by people inside the Situ family."
"After everything is ready, we will arrange to close the Internet cafe tomorrow. There is no need to spend so much time," Xu Zimo said.
"I understand, I'll make arrangements now," Xiao Guizi nodded and retreated.
The night was alluring, a few faint dark stars hung sparsely in the sky, and the entire city of Zhou Que was in a deep sleep.
Early in the morning of the next day, when all things were still in a deep sleep and hadn't fully woken up.
The disciples of the Wang family and the Wan family have surrounded the entire Situ family.
Patriarch Wang Cheng of the Wang family and Patriarch Wan Cangqiong of the Wan family walked together and came to the door of Situ's house.
"Are you going to start a war with my Situ family?" The elder yelled loudly, awakening the entire city of Zhou Que who was still in the stage of waking up from the great dream.
"Situ Mang, don't make unnecessary struggles, today we will remove your Situ family from Zhou Que City," Wan Cangqiong said loudly.
The aura of the peak of the True Vein Realm exuded from him, and the face of the Great Elder changed slightly. Although he was also in the True Vein Realm, he was only at the seventh level, and he was no match for Wan Cangqiong at all.
"Patriarch Wan, Patriarch Wang, we seem to have no grievances and no enmity, why should we put to death," the elder began to persuade: "Although the Patriarch of our Situ family is gone, no one can easily move.
I can guarantee that our Situ family's Danfang and Weapon Pavilion in Zhouque City can give you 50% of the profits. "
"Situ Mang, you have spent decades in vain, don't you understand?" Wang Cheng said with a contemptuous smile, "The winner is the king and the loser, so there is no reason to destroy your Situ family. The fittest survive."
"If you all insist on fighting, I will accompany you to the end," the elder said solemnly to the people behind him, "Please ancestors."
Afterwards, a purple-black coffin was lifted out. This coffin seemed to have been stored for a long time, and pieces of red spar were inlaid around the coffin.
"You two can think clearly, once I open the ancestral coffin, it will be a situation where I will never die," the elder said in a domineering manner.
"Then try it, I would also like to meet the Patriarch Situ of the previous generation," Wan Cangqiong said, not panicking, but a little more vigilant.
The person lying in this ancestral coffin is the previous Patriarch of the Situ family. In fact, many strong people will seal themselves up when their lifespan is short and they have no hope of reaching a higher level.
The red spar outside the ancestral coffin is called dust and blood stone, which can effectively slow down the flow of time.
These ancestors sealed themselves in the ancestral coffin with dust and blood stones. Under the effect of dust and blood, their lifespan consumption will be minimized.
In other words, originally he only had five years of life, but because the flow of time was slowed down, they could extend his life to ten years, or even twenty years.
