C493 The Ruthless Zhuo Tianyang(1)
Quiet!
Dead silence!
In the solemn and solemn ancestral hall of the Zhuo family, under the rows of ancestral tablets piled up like a mountain, the patriarch of the Zhuo family sat upright on the armchair that symbolized the authority of the Zhuo family.
He had always paid attention to the dignity of his patriarch, but today, he seemed to be in dire straits.
His long beard seemed to have never been taken care of before. It hung loosely on his chin. His white hair was as messy as a straw. Even his face, which usually looked rosy, his forehead, and the corners of his eyes... It seemed like it had only been a night... He had aged many years.
After two whole hours, he was like an old tree, like a fossil, or a part of the rock, just like that, sitting there without moving.
The air had long become so heavy that it was impossible to breathe.
He remained silent. After an unknown period of time, his wrinkled face trembled slightly. If anyone dared to stare at him at this moment, they would discover that deep within the corner of his eyes that had been narrowed for a long time... Tears had long since filled those wrinkles.
Those were definitely not crocodile tears. It was just that as a kind father, his heart was very hurt...
At this moment, not far from his feet, there was a cold female corpse lying. The corpse's face was pretty, even though she was in her forties, but because she had taken good care of it, she looked like she was only in her thirties.
Even though she had stopped breathing, the female corpse still looked dignified, noble, and intelligent. However, why was her eyes so wide open?
Until now, there was still a trace of astonishment left in her grayish-white pupils. It seemed that she still didn't believe that she had died.
This woman was none other than the only beloved daughter of the Zhuo family's Patriarch - Zhuo Yanting!
In the huge ancestral hall, there wasn't only Zhuo Yanting's corpse. Not far away from her, there were five male corpses lying on the ground. Everyone had an extremely shocked expression on their faces, but what puzzled them was... They were obviously cold corpses, but on their bodies... There were actually no obvious injuries.
Of course, it was just that outsiders couldn't see it. The weakest among them was at least at the Genuine Stage. They didn't even need to take a closer look to know that all five of them had their internal organs crushed by someone's palm!
A total of five Incarnation Expert, no matter where they were placed, they were all first-class figures. Even the Zhuo family wouldn't be able to bear such losses a few times. However, without any hesitation, a few hours ago, when the five of them barged into the ancestral hall... After reporting the news of Zhuo Yanting's death, they took a deep breath. The patriarch of the Zhuo family didn't even bother to ask about the details of the incident. With his unpredictable skills, he had killed five people with a single strike.
This scene happened right under the eyes of all the elders, but they didn't try to stop it.
As the clan head, it was reasonable for him to occasionally do something out of line. The key was that Zhuo Tianyang was like a mad tiger at that time, even though he had already stepped into the Divine Stage for fifty years and established his empire. He didn't even make a fart sound.
Time slowly passed in this suffocating atmosphere. When everyone thought that the Elders Guild would remain silent until the end, they heard a low and hoarse voice.
The patriarch of Zhuo family, Zhuo Tianyang, weakly leaned on the back of the armchair. His narrowed eyes still hadn't opened, but his mouth opened and closed. His teeth were tightly clenched, as if his gums were about to break. "Where is he?"
The simple question made everyone, including Great Elder Zhuo Jianguo, tense up.
Not long after that, even though they knew that such words might lead to bad consequences. However, the weakest among the elders, Great Elder Zhuo, was still handsome. He still stood up respectfully, cupped his fists and replied to Zhuo Tianyang, "Patriarch, there is no news for now, but we have already sent more people to look for him. I believe it won't be long before we find him."
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Zhuo Tianyang opened his eyes. With a loud bang, the hard handle of the mahogany armchair was crushed due to his excitement.
"Do you want to be like them?" Zhuo Tianyang looked at the five male corpses not far away. His eyes were cold and ruthless.
Zhuo Shuai's heart was greatly shaken, and his legs felt weak. He quickly replied, "Patriarch, please calm down. Zhuo Shuai will make his move now. I guarantee that he will find them within three days."
"Three days?" He looked at Zhuo Shuai angrily. The veins on Zhuo Tianyang's wrinkled face were bulging, as if he had reached the edge of going berserk.
Zhuo Shuai's heart was broken. He wanted to say something, but when he saw the ruthless look in the patriarch's eyes, helpless, he couldn't say a single word. He could only turn his gaze to the number one person on the right, the Great Elder of the Elders Guild, Zhuo Jianguo.
Zhuo Jianguo sighed lightly in his heart. He knew that he could not avoid it. Furthermore, as the Great Elder, at this moment, he was not allowed to escape. Hence, after regaining his composure, he said in a calm voice, "Tianyang, I can understand your feelings, but what we need to do now is to stay calm. Don't panic, don't you think so? "
"Calm down?"
Zhuo Tianyang took a deep breath and looked at Zhuo Jianguo with bloodshot eyes. "At this point, you want me to calm down?"1
Facing Zhuo Tianyang's question, Zhuo Jianguo forced a smile. Then, he picked up a cup of tea and drank it. He did not answer Zhuo Tianyang's question.
He could finally tell that Zhuo Tianyang was in such a state. There was no way for him to communicate normally. As for him... He didn't need to offend Zhuo Tianyang just because of a mere elder. After all, at the end of the day, the leader of Zhuo family was someone else. It wasn't him.
"There's no need to look for him!"
Zhuo Tianyang looked at Zhuo Shuai again, and a cruel smile appeared on his face. "Since this little beast likes to hide, let him hide. Zhuo Shuai, from now on, bring your men and attack the people around him. Find all those who are related to him and kill them all. "
Zhuo Shuai's eyelids twitched violently. He couldn't help but say, "Those people are all under the protection of Zhang Mubai and Feng Wuya. If that's the case... "
"Zhang Mubai? Feng Wuya?"
A fierce light flashed in Zhuo Tianyang's eyes, and he said coldly, "Listen up, no matter who it is, as long as they dare to interfere, kill them all!"
" But... "
"Patriarch..."
Most of them, including the Great Elder, could no longer remain calm. They all looked at Zhuo Tianyang. It was the Great Elder, Zhang Jianguo, who spoke on behalf of everyone, "If that's the case, doesn't that mean that we have shed all pretenses of cordiality? "
"So what if we have shed all pretenses of cordiality? Don't tell me that you still don't understand at this point in time? If Faang Xuan doesn't get rid of that little bastard, do you really think that our Zhuo family will be able to smoothly receive the rights to be on full duty and in charge of the defense of the capital? Right now, countless pairs of eyes are staring at our Zhuo family, waiting to see a joke."
After saying this, Zhuo Tianyang paused for a moment, and his eyes swept across everyone present one by one. However, he found that everyone's eyes were sparkling. It was obvious that... ___ didn't support his decision. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He spoke again, "Our Dragon Protection Clan has been passed down for thousands of years. When did we make such a big joke? Everyone, I know that you all think that I have issued such an order out of selfishness. But do you all know that this matter has already started to shake the foundation of our Zhuo family? "
As soon as these words left his mouth, all the elders looked at each other in dismay, exchanging glances with each other. Obviously, they thought that Zhuo Tianyang was exaggerating. After all, until now... Besides the death of a few sons and daughters of the family head, the Zhuo family didn't suffer any great losses. In a sense, Zhuo Tianyang's bloodline was dead. It's better for the big shots here.
As the patriarch of the family, Zhuo Tianyang naturally knew what everyone was thinking. However, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he asked everyone, "Let me ask you all, what is the reason why our Dragon Protection Clan is able to live in peace?"
Without waiting for their reply, he continued, "That's right. Everyone knows about the Dragon Protection Clan. Just by hearing its name, everyone knows about it. In the end, we are just a group of bodyguards who made a fortune. But if everyone in the world knows that our Zhuo family can't even protect our own children and grandchildren... What would the big shots think? Will they still be at ease and hand over their safety to our Zhuo family?
Think about it. If we lose the support of those big shots, what will the Zhuo family have left?"
" This... "
Everyone's facial expression changed, and they were left speechless by Zhuo Tianyang's words.
In all fairness, Zhuo Tianyang's words were reasonable and reasonable, but everyone still felt a little awkward. Although they could not find any words to refute at the moment, they still could not accept it emotionally.
