Chapter Thirty-Six: Take pity on me
Before the words fell, the three elders had already come to Jian Li.
"Now, immediately, the council chamber is reassembled!" Jian Li was furious.
The Third Elder also replied simply, "I'll go right away." Then he dodged away. A quarter of an hour later, the four reassembled in the chamber.
At this time, the atmosphere in the council hall was very awkward and solemn, just like the three of them gathered around Jianli before, waiting for Jianli to reply. At this time, they were also waiting for Jian Li's answer, but the situation was completely opposite.
For a full hour, Jian Li sat there coldly, not saying a word, not doing anything. Even the tea that the three elders had poured for him was left untouched on the table.
Finally, the second chief honestly couldn't help it, and asked directly: "Patriarch, just say it, what are you going to do when you call us back, it's not a matter of waiting like this!"
Jian Li's face turned a little colder: "You asked me what I called you back for, wouldn't you know?"
The Second Elder glanced at the Great Elder and nodded slightly: "Yes." ”
"Now that you know, let's talk about it. ”
At this time, all eyes were focused on the Great Elder, who just sat there with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Patriarch ......"
"Don't call me Patriarch!Elder Xue, you can, I said that I didn't want anyone to be missing from the list of the Five Clans' trials, and you really did!" Jian Li interrupted.
The Great Elder lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound.
"Let me ask you, how many people are you going to test in the Five Clans?" Jian Li asked coldly
The Great Elder whispered, "Seven, seven......"
Jian Li patted the table and continued to ask, "How many did I say?"
"Six...... Six. ”
Jian Li stood up and asked, "What did I say when I chose the Five Clans Trial?"
The Great Elder replied tremblingly, "Anyone who opposes it will be regarded as contempt for the authority of the patriarch, and will be severely punished with the criminal law of our clan......
The momentum of the Martial Saint on Jian Li's body exploded instantly, and the tables and chairs around him were shaken and creaked. The Second Elder and the Third Elder hurriedly activated their vitality, but only the Great Elder did not dare to make any moves, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
"As the Great Elder of my Jin Clan, you hold great power, which is a symbol of power, and a representative of fairness and justice. Now, you add your own grandson to the trial of the five clans out of thin air, how do the other disciples of my clan feel?" Jian Li said word by word.
The Great Elder replied with difficulty: "I know that what I have done at this time is against justice, and as a Great Elder, I have violated the taboo of my clan by taking advantage of this favoritism. ”
The sword left his hand with a flash of golden light, and the Tai'a sword pointed directly at the Great Elder: "Since you know, it's not too much for me to kill you today." With that, a scurry strode towards the Great Elder.
"Patriarch, no. The second elder hurriedly made a move, and the blood drinking knife in his hand was aimed at the Tai'a sword, although it was stopped, but he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Although the Great Elder was not stabbed, the strength of the Tai'a Sword coupled with the momentum of the Sword Leaving the Martial Saint made the Great Elder couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
"What are you going to do?" Jian Li looked at the Second Elder angrily.
The second elder forcibly swallowed the blood that was about to spurt out, and said a little weakly: "Patriarch, the great elder can't be killed. ”
Jian Li snorted coldly: "Change my order without authorization, as an elder bending the law for personal gain, I can't kill him yet?"
The second elder put away the knife in his hand and arched his hand: "The Great Elder has contributed to our clan for decades, and he has all worked diligently, and today he only made this small mistake, and his sin will not lead to death!"
Jian Li's momentum rose again: "Little mistake? So you think the Five Clans Trial is just a trivial matter? This is not the time for you to chase me every day and ask me to set a candidate for the Five Clans Trial?"
The second elder was speechless.
The Great Elder got up from the ground with difficulty, and said weakly: "The Five Clans Trial is very important, I have been selfish in the past when I force you to set a candidate every day, and I want Li Biao to grow up in the Five Clans Trial. I know he's a long way from your three apprentices, but he's my own grandson. You want your apprentices to improve, and I want my grandchildren to grow. ”
The Great Elder wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and then said: "At that time, after you set the list of the five clan trials, I was very disappointed in my heart, when I walked out of this council hall in a decadent manner, Li Biao was already waiting for me, I once told him that the minimum requirement to participate in the five clan trials was to cultivate to reach the Martial Master Triple Heaven, so he worked hard to cultivate, and finally met the requirements. When he heard that the candidates for the Five Clans Trial were certain, he was so excited that he left the cultivation without even asking. I don't want to disappoint him......"
Jian Li pointed his sword at him and asked, "Then you can use the Five Clans Trial to show favoritism?"
The Great Elder was silent again, and after a full quarter of an hour, he said weakly, "I know I can't do this, but if I don't do this, I won't dare to face my grandson, and he will think that I have broken my word." So no matter what, I'm going to let him enter the candidate for the Five Clans Trial. Even if I just let him participate in the Five Clans Trial and not let him participate, I can rest assured. ”
"Although I know that my sin is unforgivable, I still implore you with this old face to agree, just because I have done something for the Jin clan for decades, and there is no merit and hard work. Or do you just pity me......"
The third elder slapped him from behind the sword and whispered, "Put the sword down." ”
Jian Li glanced back at the three elders, and then the Tai A sword turned into a golden light and disappeared, and the momentum on Jian Li's body also converged a little.
"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the Great Elder also has his own hardships, and everyone hopes that their descendants can get ahead, and it is not easy for him...... " the Third Elder sighed.
Jian Li was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the Great Elder with vicissitudes written on his face.
"Just take pity on me......" the Great Elder said weakly again.
Jian Li clenched his hands and sat back in his seat, and the Great Elder also sat down with the support of the Second Elder and the Third Elder.
Li Biao was temporarily included in the list of the five clan trials, but all the trials were attended by the other six people. ”
After hearing this, the Great Elder got up with difficulty and bowed to Jian Li, "Thank you, Patriarch." ”
"Get out of here...... Jian Li roared, then calmed his anger. The three elders all felt the qi and blood in their bodies surging in the face of Jian Li's momentum, and they also had a trace of fear for Jian Li in their hearts, and they all retreated.
The Great Elder left the council hall, regained his vitality for a while, and went straight to Li Biao's residence.
"Grandpa, why are you here, is there something wrong?" asked Li Biao excitedly.
The Great Elder smiled kindly: "It's okay, I'll just come to see you, remember, you must cultivate well." ”
Li Biao nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard, Jue Long, Blade Heaven and Blade Blade they actually look down on me." I said that I would definitely be able to participate in the Five Clans Trial, and they would definitely be trampled under my feet in the future!"
The Great Elder was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. For him, the hard work of his grandson is a good thing.
Perhaps, he didn't know how much his elders had paid for himself to be able to participate in the Five Clans Trial. In order to achieve your future, they do not hesitate to sacrifice the dignity they have accumulated in their lives, and they do not hesitate to change their principles. When you are not strong enough but go smoothly, there will definitely be people behind you, who will use their own flesh and blood to pave the road full of thorns for you, so that you feel that the front is hope and distance!
