Both Huo Yun and Huo Hai were startled. They hadn't thought that their normally useless nephew would say such words. The two of them looked at each other and made a decision in their hearts. Since the other party had made the first move, they definitely could not show any thoughts of seizing the position. If Huo Li didn't die, he would definitely take revenge on them. Even if he wouldn't kill them, he wouldn't be able to stay in the Flaming Cloud Family any longer.
Huo Yun smiled, "Junior master, your words are a bit too much." All the disciples in the clan know that you have the direct bloodline, so even if the Patriarch is assassinated, it should be up to you to take over the job. " When he spoke, he purposely emphasized the words "will really die" on purpose, clearly reminding Huo Feiyang that if Huo Li really died, he would have to pay the price for what he had just said.
When she looked at Huo Feiyang again, her expression was unusually calm, and it was simply impossible to tell what he was thinking in his heart.
If he had not met Han Yan before, Huo Feiyang would definitely not have been as calm as he was now. Besides that, he knew in his heart that if he wasn't able to become the Patriarch today, he would surely be killed by his two uncles. As a result, he went all out to seize the position of the Clan Chief.
Huo Feiyang sighed, and said: "Uncle, nephew's cultivation is not sufficient, I am afraid he cannot take on the big responsibilities."
At this time, Huo Hai also stood out and said, "Young Patriarch, what you said isn't right. If the family head truly wants you to become the new family head, then no matter what, you won't be able to shake off this responsibility." He paused for a moment, then said, "However, no matter what we do, we must follow the steps. The junior family head should first take out the chief's corpse and have the clan brothers examine it."
Huo Feiyang did not do so, but said: "Two uncles, Flaming Cloud Family brothers. "Flight is young, but there are some things that I understand …" His words were very vague, so no one could make out the meaning behind them. Just as everyone was puzzled, Huo Feiyang continued to speak. "I will definitely take out father's corpse. If everyone is able to verify his final words, will you all be able to comply with father's last words?"
Once those words were said, everyone was stunned. Even the flame clouds and flame sea could not confirm whether Huo Li was really dead or not.
The two of them were silent, and the others had even less right to speak. Huo Meng's mouth kept moving, but he didn't say a single word. In the end, it became a silent sigh.
Time slowly passed and the plaza became silent. No one knew what to do.
Huo Feiyang sighed again, and said with his hands spread wide: "Everyone, since you all aren't willing to give me a name to answer, then there's no need to look at my father's corpse anymore …" As he spoke, he turned around and walked into the hall. This move of his was very clever. He would act calmly and let Huo Yun and Huo Hai state their stance first. If the two of them were to say something, even if the others were dissatisfied, it would not be good for them to say anything.
In a blink of an eye, Huo Feiyang had already reached the entrance of the hall, and just as he was about to enter the hall, Huo Yun suddenly shouted: "Young Patriarch, please hold up."
Huo Feiyang's previous body stopped, but he did not turn around. Instead, with his back facing the crowd, he said: "Everyone, I also do not wish to make things difficult for the others. After all, my cultivation is too low, and I am much weaker than my two uncles. If my two uncles don't agree to me becoming the clan leader, what's the use of the clan leader in front of me? " He paused for a moment and painfully said, "If it wasn't for fulfilling my father's last wish, I definitely wouldn't have become the new clan leader …"
These words were extremely touching. Although one couldn't say that it was because he was sad to hear them, hearing them cry was not far off from the age of twenty.
For a moment, besides the fiery clouds and the fiery seas, all of the disciples within the clan were moved. Their gazes fell onto the two of them at the same time.
In this situation, the two of them never thought that Huo Feiyang would suddenly become so smart. But now that it was time to declare their stance, even though they were against Huo Feiyang becoming their Patriarch, they didn't dare to say anything without seeing Huo Li's body. Other than that, the rest of the clan's cultivators were all looking at them. If they objected, then wasn't this telling everyone that they wanted to seize power?
Thus, in consideration of their feelings, both of them had to nod in agreement.
Huo Yun's eyes flashed, he walked to Huo Feiyang's side in a few steps, knelt down on one knee, and cupped his fists: "Disciple of Flaming Cloud Family, Huo Yun swears once again. "If the clan leader truly dies, I'm willing to let the junior clan leader become the next clan leader." After saying that, he lowered his head and made a gesture of submission.
After hesitating for a bit, he walked over to Huo Feiyang and knelt down on one knee. He said somewhat unwillingly, "Flaming Cloud Family disciple, I, Huo Hai, hereby swear that if the Patriarch really dies …" After he finished speaking, he did the same gesture of submission.
When the crowd saw the two of them acting in such a manner, how could they dare to hesitate? With a 'shua' sound, everyone kneeled on the ground and said in unison, "If the clan leader is truly dead, then we will make the junior clan leader the new clan leader."
Hearing that, the corner of Huo Feiyang's mouth revealed a faint smile, and then he turned and said: "Everyone, please get up!" As he said that, he patted the storage bag by his waist. With a flash of light, a black coffin appeared in front of him. He did not open the coffin's lid but instead spoke to Huo Meng. "Old butler, you have been in contact with father for the longest period of time. Is there a problem? "
Huo Meng was an honest man who never lied. He was on good terms with everyone.
No one had any objections, and they all turned to look at Huo Meng to see what he would do.
Although Huo Meng had seen Huo Li's body once, he had not observed it carefully last time. He urgently wanted to know how the Patriarch died, so he hurriedly walked towards the coffin. Walking to the coffin, Huo Meng slapped his hand on the coffin, and with a bang, the lid flew off, revealing a corpse, it was Huo Li.
Huo Meng spread out his divine sense, covering the corpse and carefully observing it.
As he looked at it, Huo Meng couldn't help but tear up. Finally, he sighed and closed the coffin. Then, he cupped his fists towards Huo Feiyang and said respectfully: "Subordinate Huo Meng greets Clan Leader." After these words were said, everyone felt mixed emotions. Those people who had a good relationship with Huo Feiyang were naturally happy. Those who did not have a good relationship with Huo Feiyang were constantly thinking of ways to curry favor with the new Clan Chief and stabilize their current interests.
Fire Cloud and Fire Sea were startled in succession. The former hurriedly asked, "Huo Meng, did you see it clearly?"
Huo Meng nodded his head, then said in a clear voice, "Everyone, this old servant had clearly seen it earlier, this is indeed the real body of the Patriarch. Not only that, it's also like what the junior family head said. With that, he added, "A nation cannot have one day without a ruler. A clan cannot have one day without a leader. If anyone violates this rule, this old servant will personally kill him. " After saying that, his gaze swept across Huo Yun and Huo Hai. The meaning in his eyes was obvious.
Huo Hai's face darkened. He clenched his fists tightly as he angrily glared at Huo Meng, as if he wanted to make a move.
At this moment, the fiery cloud appeared much calmer. It patted Huo Hai's shoulder, signaling him not to act recklessly.
At this moment, the thousand plus disciples on the plaza all shouted in unison, "Congratulations clan leader, congratulations clan leader …"2
Two hours later, the crowd dispersed, and the fire cloud and sea of fire returned to the cave.
The moment the two of them entered the cave, Huo Hai said angrily, "Big bro, why didn't you let me kill that old fellow just now? Worse comes to worse, we can just kill everyone here and tell them that Huo Feiyang had used the Devil Dao's techniques in an attempt to seize power. Even if they knew that this was impossible, I'm afraid no one would dare to step forward! "
Huo Yun laughed bitterly, "Do you really think that trash can come up with such a plan?"
Hearing this, Huo Hai was startled. He puzzled and asked, "Big Brother, what do you mean by this? Don't tell me that he didn't come up with these ideas?"
"Huo Feiyang is just a lazy trash. Other than playing with women, what else can he do?" Huo Yun let out a cold snort, and said disdainfully, "If it wasn't for the large amount of Pill that Huo Li fed him, he definitely wouldn't have been able to raise his cultivation to the Earthly Spirit Stage. You saw what happened just now, we went from being active to being passive, and in the end, we didn't even have the chance to resist. This kind of strategy, it's definitely not something that a trash like him can think of. "
No matter how stupid Huo Hai was, he understood now. He hurriedly asked, "Are you saying that someone is commanding him from behind? What kind of person is he?"
"I'm not sure about that, but …" Huo Yun's eyes flashed, and said in a heavy voice, "I am certain of one thing. The person controlling him from behind, is definitely the person who killed Huo Li."
Huo Hai frowned, puzzled: "If that's really the case, then that person's cultivation should be extremely high, there's simply no need to control our Flaming Cloud Family, what is his goal?"
Huo Yun couldn't think of the reason why so he sighed and said, "He must have some sort of motive for controlling the Flaming Cloud Family. We'll know soon enough." After saying all that, he changed the topic of the conversation. "As for now, let's just wait and see. That person won't make a move against us before completely controlling the Flaming Cloud Family …"
Huo Hai's face darkened as he hurriedly said, "Big brother, if we don't kill now, then what about in the future?"
"Don't worry!" After Huo Yun gave him a look of worry, he analyzed, "What we need to do now is to attack a larger planet and make the other cultivators in the clan care about me as much as possible. If our power grows, even if that person controls the remaining people in the Flaming Cloud Family, we have the power to resist. Taking a step back, if we can't stay in the Chaotic Stars, with our cultivations, it wouldn't be difficult for us to get back to Center of Star Domain and take down another planet. "
Hearing this, Huo Hai secretly let out a sigh of relief. He nodded and said, "That's right. We can't stay here any longer. We can also go back." Suddenly, he thought of something and slapped his head, saying, "We were only concerned about the position of the chief and actually forgot the most important matter." If we can get our hands on the Sky Shooting Bow, there are still a few in the heaven and earth who are our opponents. "
How could the fiery cloud not think of something that the flame ocean could think of? He bitterly laughed and said: "The Heaven Shocking Bow is a Archaic Dharma treasure. How could that person not take such a treasure? If we go now, not only will we not be able to get the Heaven Shocking Bow, we will also make that person act against us in advance. He changed the subject and continued, "If you really want to obtain the Archaic Dharma treasure, we can go steal one."
"Steal one?" The sea of fire frowned and the confusion in its eyes became even stronger.
Huo Yun nodded and said, "Do you know why Wang Family is so powerful? This was because they also had a Archaic Dharma treasure in their hands. Although that treasure wasn't as powerful as the Sky Shooting Bow, it was still the most practical. "If we can steal it, no one would be a match for us at the same level.
"Big Brother, you're not lying to me, right?" Huo Hai laughed bitterly, "Why have I not heard that Wang Family has another Archaic Dharma treasure?"
"We are blood-related brothers, how would I harm you?" "Not only do I know about this treasure, I also know that it's the tenth ranked sky-covering net in the ancient times's Treasure Pavilion."
At this moment, no one knew that deep in the polar ice pond, a cultivator was watching the events unfold in the cave.
