55: C55 The Aggressive Elders Guild

C55 The Aggressive Elders Guild

Unlike Ji Chen and his son, the Great Elder's side was filled with dark clouds. The atmosphere was very oppressive, giving people the feeling that the city was about to be destroyed by the dark clouds!

In a luxurious and spacious hall, the Great Elder was sitting on an armchair with an expressionless face. The other six elders were all present. All of them had different expressions on their faces, and no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

"Damn thing! What the hell is that little bastard!? He dared to kill our people the moment he arrived, and even humiliate this old man. Also, that Ji Tiandou has gone too far! Big brother, you can endure it, but this old man can't! "

The tall and thin Second Elder acted as if he had eaten a spear medicine. He flew into a rage and smashed a thousand year old sandalwood table into pieces. "I must kill them. I will personally crush that little bastard's head bit by bit!"

"Second Elder is right. That little trash is indeed a big problem." A purple-clothed middle-aged man spoke. This was Third Elder. "Although he is crippled, his talent is still not reduced. If he is allowed to grow again, it will be troublesome."

"A little mouse, what is there to be afraid of him for?" The Second Elder was puzzled. "Even if he can cultivate again, he will need ten years of hard work to threaten us. He no longer has that chance!"

The Third Elder smiled bitterly. He thought to himself, 'How can such a hot-tempered rabbit be the Second Elder and grasp the law of Ji family? Doesn't that mean that it is a professional case maker?'

"Second Elder, please calm down." A young man with white hair spoke. His body was constantly covered with snow. "Third Elder is afraid that Ji Chen will enter the eyes of the big shots of the Star Sea Sect. At that time, they will have the protection of the big shots. We will never be able to rise again! "

Third Elder nodded. "Fifth Elder is right. We have to take advantage of this reunion to solve the problem at once and eliminate all of them!"

The Fourth Elder was a plump woman with a delicate face. She could not bear it. "There is no need for them to die. Cripple their cultivation and chase them out of Fire Cloud City."

"A woman's kindness!" The Second Elder shouted angrily, "Those who do big things must be vicious and merciless. They must not let the tiger return to the mountain, leaving behind any hidden dangers!"

"I have already found the external help."

The Sixth Elder was an old woman, and her wrinkles were filled with malice. "Once we destroy those two little scumbags, Gao, Liu, Guan and General Shangguan will support the Great Elder to become the City Lord!"

"Alright, then we'll send them back to the West during the mid-autumn festival on August 15th!" The Great Elder made the final decision. "Fire Cloud City needs a more capable master!"

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. The mid-autumn festival had arrived. The entire City Lord's Mansion had been busy during the day. The maids, servants, and the kitchen were all running. They were preparing food and setting up the mid-autumn festival venue.

This kind of orderly and calm was only on the surface, but in reality, it was filled with surging waves and killing intent.

Not only the seven elders, but the four big families of Fire Cloud City had also started to move. They gathered their forces, and no one knew what they wanted to do. It was very intriguing.

Night soon arrived. The backyard of City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit. The full moon in the sky was like a moon, shining brightly on the earth. The moonlight was bright and clear, covering the mountains, rivers, and the mortal world with a thin layer of mist.

The City Lord's Mansion had held such a Mid-Autumn Moon Gathering many times, but this time it was different. The atmosphere was very strange, and it was full of killing intent.

The most distinguished place was naturally Ji Tiandou and the seven elders of the Elder Council. As the young city lord, Ji Chen's status was extraordinary, and he was qualified to sit here. He sat to the north and approached the lake, overlooking all the experts and geniuses of City Lord's Mansion.

During the reunion event, all kinds of delicious food and wine had been served. As usual, the city lord Ji Tiandou should give a speech and announce the start of the event, but today, this rule was changed.

The Great Elder spoke first, not giving Ji Tiandou any face at all. He announced the start of the event. The audience below the stage was instantly filled with cheers. Most of them were the Great Elder or the people of the Elder Council!

The banquet had just begun, but Sixth Elder couldn't help but make things difficult for Ji Tiandou. "Ji Tiandou, you've been the City Lord for more than 20 years, right? I can say that I've watched you grow up."

"Twenty years of wealth and glory, twenty years of promise is already enough. People shouldn't be too greedy. You must know to stop when you are good, and let go when you need to."

Third Elder nodded with a smile on his face. "That's right. City Lord, you have been glorious and proud of yourself. It is enough for you to be vigorous and vigorous! Since the light is no longer shining, don't stay in that seat any longer. "

"City Lord, I admit that you were peerless and peerless, but unfortunately, your era has already passed." The aura of the Fifth Elder was so strong that it almost froze the lake. "So, don't be a stumbling block for us!"

The second elder was even more direct. He simply said in a domineering manner, "Ji Tiandou, hand over the City Lord Seal and give up the position of City Lord! Otherwise, don't blame me for using the authority of the Elders Council. Crippling your position of City Lord will not be good for anyone!"

"Oh? Looks like the Elders Guild is forcing this City Lord to abdicate."

Ji Tiandou's expression did not change as he looked at the Great Elder with slight ridicule. "Great Elder, don't forget that I am the City Lord of Fire Cloud City, a seventh grade official conferred by the Imperial Court! Even the Elders Guild is unable to cripple me!"

"Who said not?"

The Great Elder had to speak at this time. He had already calculated everything. "According to the rules and regulations of the family, if the City Lord makes a mistake, the Elders Guild only needs to reach the agreement of seven people, and the City Lord will be abolished, and the City Lord will be appointed!"2

"So, this City Lord is already very incompetent?" Ji Tiandou laughed mockingly, but he didn't panic at all.

"That's right!" The Great Elder said firmly. "Everyone knows what happened to you all these years. You have been crippled and have gone downhill. Your cultivation base is getting worse and worse day by day!"

"Even if you used to look down on the world, you are still a pitiful and pathetic weakling! In this world where the strong are respected, the weak have no right to speak!"

The Great Elder became domineering. "Tiandu, you understand very well that in this world, the strong are above the weak, and the mediocre are below them! And you are the weak now, and I am the strong now, so you have to give your seat to me!"

The Third Elder's voice became gloomy, and his purple robe fluttered in the wind. "That's right! All these years, the prestige of our City Lord's Mansion has been growing day by day. Not only have all kinds of small people been causing trouble for the people, it has also caused a foul atmosphere!"

"Moreover, the four major families in the outside world are growing stronger every year, and they are constantly consuming the interests and wealth of our City Lord's Mansion. You are powerless to stop them! If you don't step down from this position, the foundation of our Ji family, which has lasted for hundreds of years, will be destroyed! "

" You must abide by the decision of the Elders Guild! " The Great Elder was a shrewd man, and he still wanted to maintain his righteousness. "Ji Tiandou, for the sake of the ancestors of the Ji family and Fire Cloud City, hand over the City Lord's Seal and abdicate!"

"Ji Tiandou, I refuse to accept your position as the City Lord!" The Second Elder seemed much more straightforward and straightforward. "Abdicate, or don't blame us for making you and your son bleed here!"

"Abdicate!" the Great Elder said. The Third Elder's gaze was like a venomous snake. "You are just a cripple. You are only suitable to enjoy your life and not be the City Lord."

The Fifth Elder's eyebrows were like two ice dragons. His voice was even more ruthless. "Ji Tiandou, get out of this position!"

The Sixth Elder held his walking stick. His yellow eyes were filled with a vicious light. "Heaven, don't be stubborn. If this is a river of blood, you will be a sinner! Withdraw!"

Seventh Elder laughed strangely. "Ji Tiandou, abdicate!"

The attitude of the Elders Guild was really too tough. They had caused trouble at the Reunion Banquet. They had berated, humiliated, and aggressively demanded that Ji Tiandou abdicate and hand over the City Lord's Seal!

"A bunch of old thieves!" Ji Chen's hands were burning with fire, just like his burning heart. "People who are fickle and scheming!"

Fourth Elder sighed. The beauty said, "Don't be stubborn anymore, Tian Du. Abdicate! I can guarantee that you and your son will live a peaceful life without worry about food and clothing!"

"Fourth Elder, do you believe these words yourself?"

Ji Tiandou sneered. "When I was still the City Lord, they were so unscrupulous. If I am really not the City Lord, then my father and son's corpses will appear in the deep mountains tomorrow and be eaten by wild dogs!"

Fourth Elder felt guilty because of Ji Tiandou's words, so he could only keep his mouth shut. The other six people were even more unscrupulous. They stared at Ji Tiandou with a strong pressure. It was obvious that they were forcing him to abdicate. Even if they did not retreat, they had to retreat!

"Alright. Didn't you all keep your mouths shut? Then today, I, the City Lord, will also tell you all about the rules!"

Ji Tiandou did not panic or feel frustrated about being attacked or betrayed. Instead, his face was full of determination. "The rules of our Ji family are clearly stated. The son will take over the father's job!"

"Even if my ability is limited and not suitable for the position of the City Lord, even if I withdraw, the one who inherits the position of the City Lord will be my son, not you, the Great Elder, the schemer!"

"What?! I didn't hear wrongly, right!" The Second Elder immediately laughed and spoke in a harsh tone, "That little bastard of yours? He deserves it! He's just a cripple. You really treat him like a treasure! "

The Sixth Elder, that old hag, was also mocking him. "I heard that Ji Chen has a bad reputation in the Star Sea Sect. He's called a scourge! If he becomes the City Lord, won't his family be thrown into chaos?"

The few elders and many of the leaders of the City Lord's Mansion were all delighted, as if they had just heard a huge joke. They were laughing their teeth out. What kind of a joke was your son? Even if he became the City Lord, he wouldn't give it to Wang Ba!

Isn't this just messing around? Didn't we work so hard to rebel for the position of the City Lord? After all, we gave it to your son. Do you think we are stupid? Waiting for him to grow up and cut off our heads one by one?

These people were already determined to kill Ji Chen and Ji Tiandou. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't find the City Lord's Seal, they would have already killed these two people.

The Great Elder thought that Ji Tiandou was at his wit's end and could only use his own son as a shield. Unfortunately, it was too clumsy.

"There is indeed such a rule, but it has also been said that if the son of the City Lord isn't qualified to be the City Lord, he can be replaced!"

"What right do you have to say that my son is not qualified?" Ji Tiandou sat on the spot and remained unmoved like a lofty mountain. "My son is talented and talented. How can he not be qualified!"
