After Ximen Yanyan's words fell, there was silence in the arena, no one responded, and everyone's eyes fell on the face of the Great Elder.
Grand Elder Yang Yan, brother of Yang Lie, the previous generation of Yunxiao City Lord, is ninety-five years old this year. At this moment, he closed his eyes and lowered his head as if he had fallen asleep, without any intention of opening his mouth.
Suddenly, a middle-aged elder stood up and said, "I have a few words to say and a few questions to ask."
Ximen Yanyan said: "Uncle Tang Bozhao, please"
This person has the same status as Ximen Wuya, he is also the son-in-law of Yunxiao City, his wife is the daughter of Yang Lie's other brother, so Ximen Yanyan called him cousin, this person is ranked fifth in the Presbyterian Council.
Tang Bozhao looked at Yang Dingtian and said, "Excuse me, how is your cultivation?"
"Just passed the enlightenment period." Yang Dingtian said.
"What?" Tang Bozhao said in astonishment, showing an expression of disbelief: "A person who has just passed the enlightenment period will become the new Yunxiao City Lord"
"Everyone, under the leadership of City Lord Ximen, our Yunxiao City has covered thousands of miles with iron and blood methods, conquered countless sects and forces and knelt down under our Yunxiao City. Because of the invincibility of Ximen City Lord, my Yunxiao City has expanded from less than a hundred miles to a full thousand miles in just 20 years. In the past 20 years, my Yunxiao City has killed countless people and made thousands of enemies. When Ximen City Lord was here, no one dared to stroke my Yunxiao City. However, now that Ximen City Lord is gone, My Cloud City has entered the most dangerous time."
"In this land of thousands of miles, how many forces have a deep hatred with my Yunxiao City? How many forces are superficially surrendering and hating in their hearts? As long as we are a little weak, these people will pounce on us and kill Yunxiao City. At this time, let a person who has just passed the enlightenment period become the new Yunxiao City Lord." Tang Bozhao said coldly: "Is this because our Yunxiao City died not fast enough?"
"So, I firmly oppose Yang Dingtian becoming the heir to the Lord of Yunxiao City." Tang Bozhao said firmly.
"Seconded"
"Seconded"
Out of the eight elders present, only two did not second. Yanyan's mother, there is nothing more sad than heartbreak. Although she is sitting here, she seems to have only a body, and her soul has gone with her husband.
Ximen Lie sat there without saying a word. The Great Elder still lowered his head and closed his eyes, as if he was asleep. And Yanyan has no right to vote with a show of hands.
The other one who did not second his proposal was Ximen Fear, he was the manager of Yunxiao City, Ximen Wuya's second adopted son, he was also the most powerful adopted son, and the adopted son whom Ximen Wuya valued and loved the most.
When Yanyan saw that Ximen didn't raise his hand, a gleam of relief flashed in his eyes. At least, the adopted son whom the father loves and respects is still loyal.
Ximen Yanyan stared at Tang Bozhao coldly and said, "Are you going to disobey my father's order?"
Tang Bozhao said slowly: "Excuse me, do you have any evidence to prove that the city lord designated Yang Dingtian as the successor of the Yunxiao city lord? Did any third person hear or see this scene?"
At this time, Ximen Yan walked in slowly, saluted the elders and said, "I was right outside the door at that time, I didn't hear or see it."
Tang Bozhao nodded and said, "Thank you for your testimony, you can go out now."
Ximen Yan sneered at Chaoyang Dingtian, then walked out.
Ximen Yanyan's small face turned pale suddenly, and she sneered and said, "Could it be that my father betrothed me to Yang Dingtian? Isn't that enough? Could it be that my husband can't be the heir to the Lord of Yunxiao?"
Tang Bozhao said: "Who knows whether Yanyan you had an affair with him before, that's why you sought the position of Yunxiao City Lord for him?"
Ximen Yanyan's tender body trembled, and a mouthful of blood was about to gush out uncontrollably, but she swallowed it back desperately.
Tang Bozhao said: "Without the orders of your parents, private life-long appointments are invalid. Therefore, your marriage with Yang Dingtian does not count. As the daughter of the city lord, you should have a better belonging, and you should make greater contributions to Yunxiao City."
Yanyan's complexion changed, and he said, "What do you mean?"
Tang Bozhao said: "Not long ago, the Northwest Qin family sent envoys to form an ally with my Yunxiao City, and wanted to make Miss Yanyan the young lady of the Northwest Qin family. Before, my Yunxiao City might have dismissed it. But now, we need a strong ally to ensure the safety of my Yunxiao City. After all, apart from the city lord, there is no master-level powerhouse in my Yunxiao City."
It seems that the Northwest Qin family already knew the truth about Ximen Wuya in advance.
Ximen Yanyan finally couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood, which overflowed from the corner of her mouth. In any case, she never imagined that the group of people in front of her would not only deprive Yang Dingtian of his position as the successor of the city lord, but also give her as a gift to the Northwest Qin family.
"Uncle." Yanyan's mother suddenly said: "My husband just now, is your Yang family so impatient to rebel?"
Great Elder Yang Yan opened his cloudy eyes, and said slowly: "Madam Ximen, don't forget, you are also from the Yang family."
Madam Ximen shook her head and said, "No, I am from the Ximen family, not from the Yang family."
"Hmph, women are so fickle and ungrateful." Another old man immediately got up angrily and said, "Even if you, Yang Peipei, are from the Ximen family, Yunxiao City has always belonged to my Yang family. It's just that in this generation, it's just temporarily handed over to Ximen Wuya. Ximen Wuya is gone, and Yunxiao City naturally belongs to my Yang family."
Mrs. Ximen Yang Peipei's beautiful eyes turned cold, and she said slowly: "It's a pity, except for a few old people who are dying, there is no one left in the Yang family."
"That's not because your man killed my Yang family," the old man said angrily.
Mrs. Ximen said solemnly: "Second Uncle, don't forget. It was your Yang family who were upset that my husband won the position of Yunxiao City Lord, seduced foreign enemies, killed my father, and even killed our family and took away the position of Yunxiao City Lord. Even so, my husband just killed the chief culprit, and still spared most of their lives, just expelling them."
"Also, Second Uncle, you married your daughter to the Northwest Qin family to be a child in an attempt to attract strong support. Now you want to send my daughter to the Northwest Qin family as a commodity? Then wait until I die." Mrs. Ximen said coldly: "My husband married Yanyan to Yang Dingtian, and Yang Dingtian will be the new Yunxiao City Lord."
Then, Yang Peipei drew out the long sword abruptly, and said coldly: "If anyone objects, ask the long sword in my hand first."
Mrs. Ximen really has such a hot temper.
"Hmph, then I'll teach you a lesson." The second elder snorted coldly, jumped up suddenly, and was about to rush towards Yang Peipei.
"Wait a minute..." Yang Dingtian didn't stop talking.
The second elder said coldly, "There is no place for you to speak here."
Yang Dingtian said: "I know, it is ridiculous to be the successor of Yunxiao City with my current cultivation base, not to mention that the elders will not agree, and the disciples of Yunxiao City will not agree either."
Seeing Yang Dingtian say this, Ximen Yanyan couldn't help but stare at him and said, "Yang Dingtian, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Yang Dingtian continued: "I remember that City Lord Yang Lie designated his son-in-law Ximen Wuya as the new successor of City Lord Yunxiao, which also caused the dissatisfaction of the entire Presbyterian Church, especially the dissatisfaction of the Yang clan. So much so that after the death of City Lord Yang Lie, there was no new City Lord in Cloud City. In order to quell public anger, Master Ximen Wuya proposed to hold a battle for the position of City Lord. Use force to decide who will become the new City Lord of Yunxiao. All the nineteenth generation disciples of Cloud City can participate in the big trick Wu competes for the throne of the city lord."
That's right, even though Ximen Wuya was designated as the heir by Yang Lie back then. But in the end, he defeated everyone in Yunxiao City through a big showdown, and finally ascended to the throne of the city lord.
Yang Dingtian continued: "So, I propose that the new City Lord of Yunxiao City should also be selected by the Grand Showdown. Whoever wins the final victory in the Great Competition will be the new City Lord of Cloud Firmament, how?"
After Yang Dingtian finished speaking, there was silence in the arena.
A few minutes later, Great Elder Yang Yan said: "Then, when do you think the Great Showdown will be held?"
"That's right." Tang Bozhao said with a sneer, "It can't be held in five or ten years. During that period of time, Yunxiao City will have no owner."
"Two years later." Yang Dingtian said: "I once promised Ximen Yan that I would fight him two years later. If I lose, I will give up my position as the heir to the Lord of Yunxiao and be expelled from Yunxiao City. Then, I will simply put it together with Dajuewu."
"Two years is too long." Great Elder Yang Yan said: "The position of City Lord Yunxiao cannot be left vacant for such a long time, and the Great Showdown will be held next winter at the latest."
"No." Yang Peipei said: "One and a half years is too short, absolutely not."
At this time, the longer the time of the big showdown is pushed back, the more beneficial it will be for Yang Dingtian.
Yang Yan said lightly: "If you object, that's fine, then raise your hands to vote. Those who agree to the city lord's battle on December 29 next winter, raise your hands."
Immediately, several elders raised their hands one after another.
It was still six to two. In short, Yang Dingtian's side was absolutely at a disadvantage in the vote of the elders' council.
"The vote is passed." Yang Yan said lightly: "Yang Peipei, Ximen Lie, you can obey the vote of the elders. If you disagree, you will be expelled from the elders."
Yang Peipei and Ximen Lie looked at each other, were silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "We agree that the big showdown will be held on December 29 next year."
"Okay, then it's settled, the meeting is over." Yang Yan said, then got up and walked outside with a cane.
After walking a few steps, Great Elder Yang Yan said to the sun: "Thank you for your proposal to solve the big problem of Yunxiao City, but you can't participate in the big showdown, because you are not a disciple of Yunxiao City."
"What?" Yang Dingtian exclaimed.
The expressions of Ximen Yanyan and Ximen Lie also changed suddenly.
Great Elder Yang Yan said with a smile: "Because, you are not a disciple of Yunxiao City."
Yang Dingtian felt a chill in his heart, this Yang Yan was taciturn, he thought he was more or less virtuous, but he didn't expect to be so shameless.
Suppressing his anger, Yang Yan sneered and said, "I am the husband of Ximen Yanyan, the son-in-law of Ximen City Lord, why am I not a disciple of Yunxiao City, why am I not participating in next year's big showdown as the successor of Yunxiao City Lord?"
Great Elder Yang Yan didn't speak, but Tang Bozhao sneered sneeringly: "Because, you are too weak to be a disciple of Yunxiao City."
