The leader of the Huo family said in a serious voice: "Zhongyu, in the ancient space, the family wants you to complete a task."
"Yes!" Huo Zhongyu looked solemn.
"You first swear an oath and promise not to talk about today's events to anyone."
"Yes!" Huo Zhongyu raised his hand and said solemnly: "I, Huo Zhongyu, swear on my soul that I will not tell anyone what I saw and heard today. If I violate my oath, my soul will be scattered."
As Huo Zhongyu finished speaking, she felt a slight fluctuation in her soul. He looked at his father solemnly, knowing that since his father asked him to swear on his soul, it was no small matter.
"Very good!" The leader of the Huo family nodded and said, "Zhongyu, I want you to kill Qin Shuang in the ancient space."
"Kill Qin Shuang? Why?" Then Huo Zhongyu's expression changed and said: "Did his father spread the news that Shuang'er got one hundred thousand spirit stones?"
"Not bad!" The leader of the Huo family nodded.
"Why?" Huo Zhongyu's face turned red, and his eyes revealed a look of disbelief.
"For the future of the family!"
"The future of the family? Shuang'er gave the "Fire Phoenix Book" and "Danfeng Chaoyang" to our Huo family. She only contributed to the future of our Huo family, not demerited. How come it is she who threatens the future of our Huo family? "
"Zhongyu, you are still too young." The leader of the Huo family sighed: "Qin Shuang gave the "Fire Phoenix Collection" and "Danfeng Chaoyang" to our Huo family, but have you ever thought about her? Once we give the "Fire Phoenix Collection" and "Danfeng Chaoyang" to others, others will find the flaws in our "Fire Phoenix Collection" and "Danfeng Chaoyang". And these two techniques are the foundation of our Huo family. , the foundation of inheritance, once the Huo family loses this foundation, and other families who are targeted at our family get these two techniques and develop the targeted techniques, our Huo family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, will be wiped out in an instant. Therefore, in order for this matter not to happen in the future, for the future of the family, and for the inheritance of the family, Qin Shuang must die."
"Shuang'er will not give his skills to others."
"How can you be sure that she will not give it to others? Since she can sell it to our Huo family, she can also sell it to other families."
"No, Shuang'er is not that kind of person."
"Zhongyu! Maybe Qin Shuang is not that kind of person, but what if someone puts half a million spirit stones or even one million spirit stones in front of Qin Shuang? Can you guarantee that Qin Shuang will not be tempted?"
A look of struggle appeared on Huo Zhongyu's face, and he finally shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee it."
"So, Qin Shuang must die. I have bribed many people. These people include warriors from various kingdoms who have entered the ancient space, as well as warriors from the prefectures under the direct jurisdiction of the empire, and even warriors from the imperial martial arts academy. When the time comes, you just need to Just lead them to surround and kill Qin Shuang."
Huo Zhongyu fell silent, struggling in his heart, and finally closed his eyes in pain. After a while, he opened his eyes, his eyes showed firmness, he shook his head and said:
"No, I can't."
"What did you say?" Everyone in the room changed their expressions, and the great elder scolded: "Zhongyu, don't forget that you are the future patriarch of the Huo family, and everything must be considered for the sake of the family."
"Shuang'er has saved my life more than once and helped me practice. If I were to kill him, I would be worse than a beast. Father, I can't do it, I really can't."
There was silence in the hall, and the atmosphere became depressing. The air seemed to have turned into water, filling the air and making people feel suffocated.
After a while, the voice of the leader of the Huo family became cold and stern: "Zhongyu, have you decided?"
"yes!"
"Do you know what your decision means to you?"
"I know!"
Disappointment showed in the eyes of the leader of the Huo family, and he said again: "I'll give you another chance."
"No, I can't do it."
"Okay! In that case, from today on, I will deprive Huo Zhongyu of being the leader of the clan. You can leave!"
Huo Zhongyu's body trembled, her face turned pale, and after a deep bow, she turned and left the hall. Looking at the back of Huo Zhongyu, who was originally as straight as a gun, now became rickety, the leader of the Huo family felt a pain in his heart and closed his eyes. However, that was only for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze had become calm, and he said to a man with a face as thick as a jujube:
"Eighth Elder, go and call Zhong Lian back."
"yes!"
The eighth elder stood up and left the hall.
"Brother, will Zhongyu... tell Qin Shuang about this?"
"No, as long as he utters half a word, he will be stunned and have no chance to say it."
This is the main hall.
It was still the head of the Huo family and the eight elders, but the people standing in the hall at this time were not Huo Zhongyu, but Huo Zhonglian.
"Meet the clan leader and elders." Huo Zhonglian bowed deeply.
"Zhonglian!" The head of the Huo family looked deeply at Huo Zhonglian who was standing opposite him and said, "You must first swear not to reveal what happened today."
"Yes!" Although Huo Zhonglian had doubts in his heart, he still swore on his soul, and then looked at the leader of the Huo family.
"I want you to kill Qin Shuang in the ancient space."
Refining his body in the fire, he was shocked and asked: "Why?"
"You also know that Qin Shuang holds in the hands of our Huo family's "Fire Phoenix Book" and "Danfeng Chaoyang". This is the foundation and inheritance of our Huo family. Can you understand the importance of it?"
"I... understand!" Huo Zhonglian just thought about it for a moment and then understood the reason. And he also thought that the fact that Qin Shuang had one hundred thousand spirit stones must have been spread by the Huo family. His expression became solemn, and the eyes of the clan leader and eight elders were focused on him, doubling the pressure in his heart.
"But... Shuang'er... she won't tell anyone."
"We can buy those two skills from Qin Shuang with one hundred thousand spiritual stones, and others can buy them from her with five hundred thousand spiritual stones and one million spiritual stones. There are no absolutes in this world, as long as the price is enough It’s just not enough.”
"But... but... Qin Shuang once saved my life in the dense rift, and helped me in the process of breaking through the Imperial Martial Arts Academy... I am a warrior... I can't..."
"A warrior is alive only when he is alive. If the family is gone, you cannot live anymore and are just a dead person. You are a member of the Huo family, and everything you have is given to you by the Huo family. You must know how to contribute to the Huo family."
"I..." Huo Zhonglian's face was full of struggle: "Brother Zhongyu..."
"He doesn't agree, so I have deprived him of his status as the young patriarch of the Huo family. I have bribed many warriors who have entered the ancient space, and even warriors in the Imperial Martial Academy. You only need to lead them to kill Qin Shuang, and I will wait for you After you come out of the ancient space, I will make you the young patriarch and take charge of the family in the future. I swear on my soul."
