C476 Who Allowed You to Be?
"We are holding the election for the patriarch just like that. If the Great Elder and Hsiang Yu come back, will they blame us?"
"Blame for what? I have already told them that they will not come back. What does that have to do with us?"
On One-Line Mountain, the Hsiang family was holding their grand meeting, which was the election for the Patriarch.
The crowd was muttering amongst themselves. It should have been a lively day. However, many people didn't look good today. The reason was very simple. All the young people of the Great Elder's line weren't here!
It was originally a scene of a battle between two sides, but in the end, it all became a family. What was the point of fighting?
Quite a few elders expressed their worries, while the Great Elder's bloodline's elders all had gloomy expressions.
However, the Great Elder and Hsiang Yu hadn't returned during this period of time, causing them to be severely suppressed. At this moment, they didn't have much right to speak, and could only express their helplessness and sigh.
"Humph! Don't worry. The rules are set by our ancestors. No matter how capable they are, they can't break the rules of our ancestors. " Hsiang Zhengyan's face darkened. Then, he turned to the newly appointed Law Enforcement Elder and said, "No need to hesitate. Let the meeting begin. "
"Alright. " The newly appointed Law Enforcement Elder was naturally supported by Hsiang Zhengyan. He immediately nodded his head and raised his hand to shoot out a black light.
A bronze skinned iron drum was hung on top of the huge mountain arena. As the black light flew over, the drum let out a shocking explosion, announcing the start of the meeting.
"The election for the Patriarch begins now!"
The sounds of discussion slowly subsided. A few people began to walk onto the arena. At a glance, they were all people of Hsiang Zhengyan's line.
A cold smile appeared on Hsiang Zhengyan's face when he saw this scene.
He knew how powerful the Great Elder was, and he also knew how powerful Hsiang Yu was. These two men were like divine dragons in the sky, throwing the entire family behind with a single swing of their tail.
What he wanted wasn't much, he just wanted to keep the family under his control, and keep the family under his control. That would be enough.
To grasp what he could. No matter what methods he used, he sealed off all information.
He closed the door and held a meeting. He did not invite any forces to participate, nor did he call back his clansmen who were traveling outside.
It was Hsiang Qing and his brother who walked onto the stage. The wind and clouds gathered on the stage, and a trace of anticipation gradually appeared in the eyes of the people below.
"Hsiang Qing has already broken through to the Tao Combination Stage. He isn't any weaker than those geniuses from the Heaven Sealing Clan. "
"It's because the resources of our Hsiang family are scarce that he was delayed. In terms of talent, he won't lose to anyone in the outside world. " An elder shook his head and sighed. His face was full of pity.
"What about Hsiang Yu? He is so powerful. " Someone from Hsiang Yu's line said in an unconvinced manner.
"Hmph! How can a person who has no respect for his elders take up the position of the chief of the family? No matter how brave they are, they are just martial artists! " An elder of the Law Enforcement Hall snorted coldly. His stern gaze landed on the young man, causing him to immediately lower his head.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter erupted from the surrounding crowd.
It turned out that the brothers on the stage had exchanged two blows as if they were playing house. After that, Hsiang Cang cried out loudly and jumped off the stage. This scene caused many people to shake their heads.
After that, those people went up one by one. They were all the same, almost symbolic. Then, they jumped off the stage.
Hsiang Qing took the position of the patriarch with ease.
"The result of the meeting has been determined. "
Hsiang Zhengyan walked to the high platform and the smile on his face gradually widened. He looked at Hsiang Qing and nodded. "Hsiang Qing has extraordinary talent. He has already reached the Tao Combination Stage at such a young age. He has defeated his opponent in the meeting and is elected as the successor of the patriarch!"
"Alright!" In the crowd, the people of the patriarch's line burst into cheers.
Hsiang Qing stood there like a machine, looking forward with a dull expression. No one knew what he was thinking, but it was very hollow.
"No matter what, the Hsiang family is still yours. " Hsiang Zhengyan whispered into his ear.0
Hsiang Qing's body trembled, then he nodded his head.
"What a farce! This is a farce!" The Fifth Elder was furious. He stood out and shouted: "Everyone knows that Hsiang Yu's skill is extraordinary, and his name has shaken the entire King Continent. He hasn't returned yet, so how can he become the patriarch of the King Continent?"
"Fifth Elder, please pay attention to your words!" Hsiang Zhengyan turned his head around and stared coldly at Fifth Elder, then he let out a loud shout.
Fifth Elder's facial expression turned slightly ugly. Although he was afraid of Hsiang Zhengyan, he still insisted, "I am telling the truth! Moreover, since ancient times, the struggle for the position of Patriarch has always been a struggle between the two great bloodlines. Presently, no one from my bloodline is present, so how can we hold this election for the position of Patriarch? "
As soon as he said those words, the people below began to mumble.
"That's true. The current patriarch is from the left branch. If we let Hsiang Qing inherit the position, wouldn't it be too unfair to the right branch?"
"I think so too. This matter can't be resolved like this. Besides, if the Great Elder and Hsiang Yu are to return, they will surely cause a ruckus. "
"Do you still remember the last time Hsiang Yu killed someone? I'm afraid that the consequences of doing such a thing without telling him about it will be even more severe. "
"All of you, calm down!"
Hsiang Zhengyan suddenly shouted.
As the patriarch, he still had this bit of dignity. When he shouted out, the entire scene immediately became silent, and everyone raised their heads to look at him.
"Fifth Elder, do you think what you said makes sense?" Hsiang Zhengyan said with a sneer.
Fifth Elder nodded and said, "According to the ancestral teachings, there is no such thing as going against the principles. "
"The rules of the ancestors?" Hsiang Zhengyan snorted, then shook his head and said, "The ancestral teachings say that the The Hsiangs will be participating in the election of the patriarch, but if they don't come back by themselves, who can be blamed? Besides, Last time, Hsiang Yu brought Hsiang Loong and the others and left the Hsiang family. Isn't this no longer the The Hsiangs?
As for the few people who stayed behind, they gave up and didn't go on the stage. How could they not respect the rules of their ancestors?"
His gaze swept across the faces of the three young men below the stage. They were also from the line of the Great Elder. However, their relationship with Chiang Kang was not that close. Last time, they did not leave with Chiang Kang.
During this election, they had received warnings and threats in advance. They didn't dare to go up and could only give up the position of the patriarch.
The Fifth Elder's face tightened and turned red, but he had nothing to say.
"As for the Hsiang Yu whose name shook the continent, that's just a joke! If he can bring glory to our Hsiang family, then Hsiang Yu is worthy of our admiration, but what did he do? "
"He took the Heart of Xuan Pin and caused chaos in the world. He fought with the Heaven Sealing Clan and made enemies for the Hsiang family. His hands were stained with blood, and he even killed the Law Enforcing Elder of the Hsiang family. From this point of view, he doesn't deserve to be a member of the Hsiang family, so how can he fight for the position of Patriarch?"
Hsiang Zhengyan's face was full of smiles. He had already expected the Fifth Elder to stand out. Therefore, he had prepared his words.
"Patriarch is right!"
"Hsiang Yu doesn't deserve to be a member of Hsiang family!"
The helpers he had arranged immediately shouted from below, causing the expressions of Fifth Elder and the others to turn even uglier.
After proudly sweeping across the crowd, Hsiang Zhengyan once again came to Hsiang Qing's side and announced to the crowd, "In order to prevent anyone from causing trouble, I hereby announce that I will abdicate early and allow Hsiang Qing to take over the position of Patriarch!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pitch-black spatial door appeared in the sky. A spear flew down with a swoosh. The spear stabbed into the arena with a bang. In an instant, the Heaven Shocking Stone shattered. The intense explosion sent Hsiang Zhengyan and Hsiang Qing flying.
A trace of a disdainful sneer was heard from within. "Patriarch? Who allowed you to be the clan leader?"
