C47 Direct Conflict
Xu Tianci sat there motionlessly and said with a cold smile, "The patriarch is in seclusion. The clan elders' meeting or the decision made by the higher ups decide all the big and small matters of the clan. The elders support me, and now the higher ups are here as well. Xu Hongyu, if you are not convinced, we will let everyone decide!"
Xu Hongyu's body trembled in anger, "If the higher ups decide, all the elders should vote. Xu Tianci, many elders and experts who have the right to speak have been sent out by you. The only one who will stay behind to support your side is you. Let everyone decide. Isn't this obvious?"
"How dare you! How dare you question the elders' joint decision!" An elder stood up and scolded Xu Hongyu. This was an elder of Xu family with a frightening seniority. Although he had lived a mediocre life, he had never made any great contributions to the Xu family. However, at this age, seniority was the right to speak.
"Second Elder, the Great Elder is the eldest son of the direct line of descent of the Xu family. The prestige of the family is extremely high. Could it be that you want to represent the auxiliary line and seize the opportunity to seize the authority of the Xu family?" An elder with a gloomy expression stepped forward. Although his voice wasn't loud, it was extremely sinister.
"With the great enemy in front of us, the Patriarch has no time to care about trivial matters. There should be someone to manage it for him. Only then can we not panic. Second Elder, you can't do it. You don't have the qualifications. We will support any decision made by the Great Elder. There's nothing wrong with that."
A peak Martial Arts Ninth Layer warrior stood out. His Qi was astonishing, and it was extremely oppressive.
This man had received the Great Elder's kindness, and had always followed Xu Tianci's lead.
Xu Hongyu had completely fallen into a disadvantageous position. While he had been struggling to keep Yan Zhaoge unconvinced, the situation had completely gone out of control.
"Xu Hongyu, since you are so stubborn, you should rest for a few days. Right now, I have the final say in all matters of the Xu family."
Xu Tianci gradually grew impatient, actually wanting to seize the opportunity to strip Second Elder Xu Hongyu of his authority.
Two law enforcement elders flashed out and walked towards Xu Hongyu. They wanted to use force to force him to surrender.
Cold sweat broke out on Xu Hongyu's forehead. It wasn't a big deal for him to suffer a little, but if Xu Tianci got what he wanted, with his understanding of this man, Xu family would be finished!
Xu Hongyu gritted his teeth, "Xu Tianci, although the patriarch has no time to deal with this matter, don't forget that there is still a Young Patriarch in Xu family! Everyone, please wait for a moment. Young Patriarch will be here soon. "
There were still many people who didn't stand on the side, and they were all neutral. Xu Hongyu wanted to win the support of these people and win some time.
"Young Patriarch is talented and intelligent. He has dealt with Patriarch Hong a few times. Although he is young, he is very capable."
During the last meeting of the main hall, Xu Feng had dealt with the criminals of Xu family. After that, he had a battle with Patriarch Hong, who had come to visit all of a sudden. He was calm in the face of danger, and his bearing was obvious to all.
"The patriarch once said that if he isn't here, the person in charge of Xu family is Young Patriarch. He should follow the patriarch's orders."
Although Xu Yonghui rarely took care of the specific matters of the Xu family, a Martial Essence Stage Expert was extremely cohesive to the family. In the face of the attack of the Hong family, many people only recognized Xu Yonghui. The words of the family head were like words spoken by gold and jade.
"Young Patriarch is in charge of all the affairs of the family. It's perfectly justifiable. We all support him!"
In such an occasion, the younger generation of the Xu family couldn't help but express their support for Xu Feng.
Discussions immediately broke out in the crowd. Xu Tianci's expression gradually turned ugly.
He couldn't help but get angry when he heard the name Xu Feng, let alone when Xu Feng wasn't here, but just the name alone was enough to shake or even challenge his position!
Fine, since that was the case, he might as well take advantage of this opportunity to control the Xu family and force them to abdicate!
When Xu Tianci thought of this, a fierce look flashed across his eyes. Suddenly, he slapped the back of his chair and roared furiously.
"All of you shut up! Xu Feng was just a little kid. What did Young Patriarch's name count as? I'm afraid you all still don't know? My Xu family has reached a critical moment of life and death, let alone Young Patriarch. I'm afraid that even the patriarch isn't in a good situation right now... "
" Xu Tianci, it's fine for you to badmouth me, but if you maliciously slander the patriarch and shake the morale of the army, what are your intentions? "
A voice suddenly sounded, cutting off Xu Tianci's words. Xu Feng walked into the main hall with a furious expression.
That was close! If he was a step late, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xu Feng looked straight ahead, staring at Xu Tianci who was sitting high up in the air. He scolded, "Xu Tianci, Great Elder Xu, do you want to usurp the throne and kill your father and sell your family for glory?!"
Before anyone could react to Xu Tianci's words, especially the second half of his sentence, Xu Feng's words had exploded the entire scene!
Even those from the Great Elder's faction were puzzled and shocked.
Xu Feng's accusation of Xu Tianci and the fact that he was charged with this crime could be said to be the most serious accusation in the history of Xu family.
Possession of the throne! Murder of the father! Selling the family for glory!
The crimes were more severe than the previous ones, causing one's heart to tremble, shock, and shock!
After a moment of silence, Xu Feng walked into the main hall and came to the Second Elder's side.
After a period of silence, there was an uproar.
Many people whispered to each other and discussed animatedly.
There was no wind blowing in an empty cave. The internal conflicts in the Xu family had never been as intense as today.
Xu Tianci was also stunned by Xu Feng's words. Perhaps his guilty conscience had been exposed in front of everyone, and he was in a trance for a moment.
This trance was made use of by Xu Feng. It successfully attracted everyone on the scene and gained the initiative to speak.
"Xu Feng, don't you dare slander me!"
Xu Tianci was so angry that smoke almost rose from his seven orifices. He pointed at Xu Feng and cursed.
A few Martial Arts Ninth Layer guards from the Xu family also came in without saying a word. They followed closely behind Xu Feng.
This tiny detail was seen by many people, but they knew very well what it meant.
The patriarch controlled the core force of the Xu family. There weren't many of them, but when it came to cultivating secret techniques, he would only listen to the orders of the patriarch. He lived in seclusion and rarely appeared.
Xu Feng had always known that there was someone protecting him in secret. That was the person his grandfather had arranged for him. That was why he dared to leave the Celestial Wind City in the middle of the night two days ago.
What did it mean for the personal guard of the patriarch to appear by Xu Feng's side?
Not only did Xu Feng deserve his reputation, but he was also gradually taking over the power of the family head.
"I am slandering him? Great Elder, what are you doing now? Threatening the Second Elder, violating the Patriarch's order, and trying to take control of the Xu family, aren't you trying to usurp the throne? "
Xu Feng's words were harsh and his tone was aggressive. At this moment, he couldn't show any weakness.
He had to suppress Xu Tianci and suppress his momentum. Otherwise, if he had the initiative, with the overall strength of the family he controlled, it was even possible for him to usurp the position of the patriarch!
The Great Elder who held a high position had a direct confrontation with the nominal number one person under the family head, Young Patriarch, in front of so many people. At this time, even the elders didn't dare to interrupt.
Xu Tianci looked at the people on his left side. When he saw that no one had spoken, he felt somewhat panicked, but he still forced himself to remain calm.
"Little brat, what do you know? I'm just thinking about the Xu family. The Hong family is too powerful. If we can't work together, our clan will be destroyed!"
Xu Feng's mind was extremely calm at this moment. As long as Xu Tianci didn't jump into a desperate situation, he could use words to guide the situation.
"No matter how strong the Hong family is, won't that old bastard Hong Annshi be defeated by the patriarch again and again? Although the family head had a chronic illness, he had suppressed the Hong family with his sickly body for several years. Now that he is no longer in secluded cultivation, the situation should be much more optimistic than before. With the patriarch here, what are we afraid of? Clan extermination? There was probably someone who harbored ill intentions and had the intention to kill his father. Only the Xu family will face the calamity of extinction, right?"
Xu Feng wasn't a glib talker. He was only good at grasping the timing and his words were sharp and direct.
Newborn calves were not afraid of tigers. What he said was not arrogant words, but bold words! That was why it could be heard by others.
Killing a father...
Xu Tianci was jealous of his father's preference for his brother Xu Potian's bloodline. He hated his father for holding the power of Xu family for a long time. He also hated his father for losing his son. He really had the idea of killing his father.
It was precisely because of this taboo that he was afraid of others talking about. It was precisely because of this idea that he wanted to break his bottom line.
Xu Feng's words made him want to explain immediately.
"Xu Feng, you are talking nonsense! This is simply outrageous..."
"The patriarch is still alive and well. Are you anxious to take his seat? Are you waiting for your grandfather to die early?" Xu Feng questioned.
Xu Tianci got up as if he had been shocked by electricity. He looked even more guilty.
"Everyone, the patriarch is in secluded cultivation. He only wants to be more confident when dealing with that old man Hong Annshi. Now, let the people of Hong family make a big fuss. When all of them are ready to attack... It's time for the Patriarch to show off his might and catch them all in one fell swoop."
Xu Feng's words were said to those people who were hesitating. It was also shaking the hearts of the Great Elder's faction, which had the intention to judge the clan.
If there was a sense of belonging in the family, even in times of crisis, they would fight to the end. They would be pressed by the Hong family step by step. Every day, there would be a lot of casualties. What the Xu family needed now was not only to work together, but also to have confidence!
In order to stimulate their fighting spirit, what was the point of telling a few lies?
A wave of loud cheers was heard. Xu Feng's words ignited the hot blood of many people.
"Great Elder, let's talk about the last condition. If you don't have the intention to sell your clan for glory, how about you take a step back? Rather than fighting for power and benefits here and arguing endlessly, why don't you do something more practical?"
If Xu Tianci was too desperate and used force, it would be useless no matter how many words he said. The Xu family would immediately fall apart.
Xu Feng wanted to retreat in order to advance. When he had absolute control over the situation, he suddenly said this, which undoubtedly made Xu Tianci heave a sigh of relief.
"Young Patriarch is really eloquent and eloquent. Fine, then go and do some proper business. You can go too!"
After shaking a bit, in order to divert Xu Tianci's attention, Xu Feng had no choice but to put himself in danger.
He followed Xu Tianci and went to the market to confront the people of Hong family.
Xu Tianci would definitely not let go of this great opportunity. New grudges and old grudges would all be counted on Xu Feng.
In this direct confrontation, Xu Feng, who seemed to have the upper hand, had actually made a huge compromise.
Using himself as bait, he temporarily suppressed and concealed the conspiracy of Xu Tianci splitting up his family.
