The distant mountains were like ink, and the silhouette of the gray sky was gradually disappearing, and the weather was hot and humid, accompanied by the rapid chirping of cicadas, prompting an impending rainstorm.

In Hongmengli Town, on the shore of Suling Lake, the disciples of the Bai family lined up neatly, waiting for the bell of the Zhongyuan Festival sacrifice ceremony to ring.

Soon, there were gradually people on the altar in the center of the lake, they had just returned from the white mound to worship their ancestors, it was the prelude to the sacrifice ceremony, and they were the backbone of the Bai family.

When everyone returned to their positions, Bai Zhenguo took a step forward and burned incense to worship the ancestors of the Bai family and the six holy spirits, but he didn't change much, he was a little older, and his gray hair was already snow-white.

After serving the incense, he motioned for Bai Zhan to put the jade seal representing the position of the patriarch on the sacrificial table.

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, they didn't know the situation of the Bai family now, and the highlight of today was naturally not the sacrificial ceremony itself, but the choice of the patriarch.

Bai Zhenguo swept his gaze over the teams of the six sects one by one, and said in a deep voice: "It has been more than two thousand years since my Bai family created the six sects by the Venerable Heavenly Cultivator, and the development of Hongmeng Town is inseparable from the joint efforts of all the ancestors.

The patriarch is also indispensable, and only an excellent helmsman can bring the Bai family and Hongmeng Town to new prosperity. ”

He paused and said with a smile: "The patriarch is very important, since ancient times, it has been the residence of the capable, and the head of a clan needs to coordinate the whole clan, and its virtue and prestige also need to stand the test, so I hope everyone will actively nominate and select the patriarch candidate worthy of everyone's recognition." ”

As soon as his voice fell, someone took over: "Since Uncle Bai Dong took charge of the head of the Bai family, my Bai family has grown stronger and stronger, and its achievements are obvious to all, I think it is okay for him to take over." ”

"Yes, yes, under the leadership of the patriarch of Bai Dong, the prestige of my Hongmeng Bai family is getting higher and higher, and now it is like the largest family in the cultivation world, if we can let him continue to serve, we will become the leader of the cultivation world just around the corner!"

As soon as these words came out, echoing voices were endless, but unfortunately this was not everyone's voice.

"This is wrong, what the patriarch of Bai Dong did was just to double the expansion of Hongmeng Outer Town, which is contrary to the development of the Bai family, I am afraid that he will follow the old path of the Fang family in Decheng and bring the entire Bai family into a land of no return!

What's more, my Bai family has been one of the top two big families in the cultivation world since the day it was founded, and now it has stopped moving forward, and there is a problem with its direction.

If we want to change the current situation, we can no longer be satisfied with the status quo, and we should choose an enterprising helmsman to further strengthen the penetration of the Bai family. ”

Everyone saw that the person who spoke was Bai Xu, the priest of Mingwuqu, and he was Bai Yan's loyal supporter.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Bai Yan really wanted to make a move against the patriarch, over the years, they had watched the Ming Greedy Wolf Division grow stronger little by little, and they might have expected such a day.

Sure enough, someone also chimed in: "That's right, that's right, I think the six sect elders are very suitable!"

"The six sects are old and young and promising, and they are indeed suitable candidates to serve as the patriarch, but she has only been back to the Bai family for ten years, and her foundation is still shallow, and the construction of the Ming Greedy Wolf Division and the Phoenix Sect is already too busy to take care of herself, and how can she have time to take care of the entire Bai family.

In the position of the patriarch, how can he let other things be distracted if he can't do all his best? Patriarch Bai Dong is different, he has always focused on the work of the patriarch, he is quite familiar with the affairs of the clan, and he is naturally more suitable to handle problems with ease. ”

The man who spoke first retorted.

Bai Xu smiled, and had already prepared the wording: "Bad, bad, it is precisely because Bai Dong has been the patriarch for a long time that he will feel tricky about those long-standing problems, and if they can be solved, they will be solved long ago."

This is obviously not conducive to the development of the whole family, flexible, flexible, change can be passed, change the person, change the way of thinking, but it is good to solve the problem.

What's more, the elders of the six sects don't have such concerns, it is more than enough for the Ming Greedy Wolf Division to have Bai Qingxian's nephew to give advice, and our Phoenix Sect is full of talents, and young masters are emerging in an endless stream, so they should fully support her work. ”

His words poked the sore spot of the Qinglong Sect, and many people nodded in agreement, in fact, the problem of no successor is something that the entire Bai family needs to think about and solve.

Of course, the two of them went back and forth to kill a few back and forth, and it was very lively, but in the final analysis, this was a matter of the Qinglong Sect and the Phoenix Sect, and the other sects did not have the strength to compete for the position of the patriarch, so they were naturally happy to be the grass on the wall.

They all turned their attention to Bai Zhenguo, who was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai with the slightest smile on his face.

However, before he could speak, someone stood up first: "Everyone, whoever becomes the patriarch will be a matter of the future, you forget, we still have one more thing to decide." ”

It was none other than Bai Ming who spoke, and seeing that everyone was unclear, a sneer burst out of his throat: "You guys are really forgetful, ten years ago, our Bai family had a devil who killed more than 100 people in a war, shocking the entire cultivation world.

The old man of the Six Sects was merciful and tried his best to save his life, hoping that he could mend his ways, but this demon was bloodthirsty, and ten years later he committed another murder, and the son of Bai Juan of the Qinglong Sect was only nine years old but was brutally killed by him two months ago.

And yesterday, his clan uncle Bai Su died under his hands, and if the six sects did not kill this thief, their spirits in the sky would never be able to rest in peace. ”

He nodded at one of the Ming Po Military Division's disciples, who lifted a coffin.

When he opened the lid of the coffin, everyone looked with bated breath, and there was a pile of minced meat that had already been unloaded, only Bai Su's head was still intact, and he looked ahead with wide eyes and confusion, which really responded to Bai Ming's words.

Such a bloody scene made everyone shudder, and someone said: "This devil kills people without blinking, and I don't know who will be poisoned by him next, and we must not let him go again this time!"

When it comes to their own lives, everyone is in danger, and many people nodded: "Priest Bai Ming is right, the most important thing at the moment is not to elect the patriarch, but to get rid of this demon, I just don't know where he escaped......"

Bai Ming was waiting for this sentence.

"This thief committed a murder and escaped from Hongmeng Town overnight, but the revenge of killing his brother is not revenge, so even if it is to dispatch the entire Ming Po Military Division, I will take him down, and the hard work will pay off, and I finally surrendered him yesterday.

I originally planned to cut him off to avenge my second brother, but this person was deeply sinful, and when he tasted the pain of a thousand knives, he could relieve the hatred of the victim's loved ones, so I wanted to take advantage of the end of the Midyear Festival sacrifice ceremony to execute him. ”

Bai Ming waved his hand at the disciple of the Ming Po Military Division again.

The two of them took the order, and soon carried a man slowly onto the altar, the man's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his body was scarred, among which the wound on his right wrist was the most hideous, as if he had been pierced by something, and a blur of flesh and blood.

He was dragged by them, the dripping blood gathering behind him into a string of terrible footprints.

Bai Che, who was originally standing lazily and lazily, immediately stood up straight, instinctively wanting to rush over to save people, but was stopped by Bai Yan with a cross-handed hand, and she said calmly: "Don't worry about what you shouldn't do." ”

Bai Che was stunned, reacted immediately, and gritted his teeth: "You sold Bai Xiu again!"

He instantly let go of the rustiness he had been pretending to be with Bai Xiu, scolded secretly, turned around and wanted to squeeze over, but Bai Cong and Bai Yun surrounded each other left and right, and the former apologized: "Second brother, I'm sorry." ”

Bai Che looked back at Bai Yan, and laughed angrily for a while: "Okay, good, ten years ago, he made you the elder of the Sixth Sect, I want to see if Bai Xiu can send you to the position of the head of the Bai family today!"

Bai Ming watched coldly, he naturally saw their dispute in his eyes, and was about to open his mouth to continue to add fuel to the fire, not wanting Bai Yan to slowly walk towards Bai Xiu, but he didn't feel surprised, but felt relieved - this woman really couldn't hold her breath.

He wanted to provoke Bai Yan, as long as she would show her flaws.

Just when everyone thought that she was going to make a move on the two disciples of the Ming Po Military Division, Bai Yan raised his hand and slapped him down.

Bai Che's heart jumped, and he almost didn't dare to look at it.

Bai Xiu coughed up a mouthful of blood violently, gasping and opened his eyes, the severe pain made it difficult for him to concentrate, his gaze wandered for a long time before he gradually met Bai Yan's four eyes, and those hesitations and struggles came over at the same time.

For a moment, a trace of wavering flashed in the eyes of both of them, but soon Bai Xiu took the lead in looking away and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would be betrayed by my relatives one day." ”

There was an uproar in the crowd, and someone understood: "It turns out that the elders of the six sects handed over this demon to the priest Bai Ming...... Her old man really has a clear distinction between right and wrong, and she is not stingy in killing her relatives in righteousness!"

Bai Ming is standing next to Bai Yao, he and Bai Su have the same smell, the two are not talented, but their ability to provoke trouble is first-class, just like Bai Ming's left arm and right arm, he has offended many people. 、

The misery of Bai Su's death made him secretly frightened, and he was more and more afraid of Bai Xiu's revenge, so he wanted to kill him and Bai Yan together.

Hearing Bai Xiu say this now, Bai Yao chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly said to Bai Ming: "These two people have the same heart, I'm afraid that they want to sing the play from ten years ago, and this matter has to be prevented......"

Bai Ming's grim expression did not change: "It's not what it used to be, how can the people of the Green Dragon Sect watch them continue to cheat, it depends on whether Bai Yan can be ruthless...... Hehe, but if you can watch her kill him with her own hands, this scene will be worth it. ”

Bai Yao couldn't help but slander, it seemed that for Bai Ming, letting Bai Yan kill Bai Xiu was even happier than snatching her patriarch's position, he rolled his eyes and looked at the people of the Blue Dragon Sect, and his heart was a little at ease - they would definitely not let Bai Yan succeed.

Right now, as ten years ago, Bai Xiu's life is left, and they can only hinder Bai Yan.

Sure enough, in the next second, Bai Zhenguo glanced at Bai Dong, who stood up and spoke slowly, but what he said made the two of them frown secretly, and they were a little dissatisfied.

"The Six Sect Elders really did not disappoint us, so they implored the Six Sect Elders to carry out the execution in person. Bai Dong said ignoring Bai Zhenguo's frequent glances, walked over and handed Bai Yan a sharp short knife, "Please." ”

In his eyes, it was a completely different yin owl from the past, which made Bai Yan feel shocked, but the arrow had to be sent on the string, she had no other choice, and even thanked Bai Dong for handing her the knife.

She took the knife and lowered her head to look at Bai Xiu quietly.

Bai Che choked up behind her and shouted: "Miss Yan, I know I can't persuade you, but looking at the love for thirty years, I just ask you to give my brother a happy ......."

"Second brother......" Bai Xiu's heart was hot, as if he had returned to the day ten years ago, and it was his second brother who stood in front of him unswervingly, and the family relationship between them never seemed to change.

Yes, they will always be a family, so everything is worth it, he calmed down, and his gaze at Bai Yan was a little more pleading.

And Bai Yan's eyes were already calm, she held the short knife tightly, and finally raised her hand.

The blade fell, the flesh and blood flew, and then another knife, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, the world seemed to leave her, and her eyes gradually became hot.

It's mine.

It's all mine.

Your flesh and blood are mine.

Everything you have is mine.
