Chapter Thirty-Eight: The New Patriarch
In the Jiang family's meeting hall, most of the clan elders gathered together to start a meeting to elect a new patriarch.
Three days ago, the Chen family took the lead and provoked many forces to encircle and suppress the Jiang family, resulting in heavy losses for the Jiang family and many people, and most importantly, the lack of patriarch Jiang Jian.
As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without an owner for a day. A family without a patriarch is like a soldier without a commander, in chaos.
The purpose of the gathering of many clan elders of the Jiang family today is to discuss the candidate to take over as the new patriarch.
……
"As the patriarch, I have decided to hand it over to Elder Jiang Ling to take over, if you have any questions or objections, you can talk about it." Above the first place, Jiang He's white hair fluttered, his face was full of exhaustion, he nodded to the many clansmen, and said his heart.
The family was damaged, and even his own son fell, who can understand the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person?
Lin Hai, the Supreme Emperor's powerhouse, also sat aside, but he only agreed to be the worship elder of the Jiang family, and would not interfere in anything within the Jiang family.
"Ah...... No, Elder Jiang Ling was just a member of the sidelines. A Supreme Elder exclaimed loudly, he was one of the people who had conflicts with Jiang Ling and his wife before, so of course he didn't want Jiang Ling to be the patriarch.
"Old Ancestor, just hand over the position of patriarch to Jiang Zhan, and we will help take care of it from the side." Another elder spoke his mind.
"That's right, Jiang Zhan was originally the heir to the patriarch, but now that the patriarch was unfortunately killed, he had to let Jiang Zhan take over as the patriarch in advance."
In the hall, various statements came out one after another, and the noise became a film.
"The position of this patriarch belongs to Elder Jiang Ling, his cultivation above the Tiandan Realm, when he was young, he went out to travel the rivers and mountains, tasted all kinds of life, experienced and colorful, and is the most suitable candidate to be the patriarch, and now the Jiang family is an eventful time, if you are still engaged in internal affairs, if there is a situation like Jiang Ziling, you will give me all death."
The death of his father made Jiang Zhan, who had a dry temperament, change his feelings, very intense, he stood up, his indifferent eyes swept to everyone's bodies, full of murderous intent.
As soon as Jiang Zhan's words came out, everyone present was shocked, and they all stopped talking, and the main owner had no opinion, and they dared to interject.
Jiang He sighed, turned his head to look at his grandson who had strong mood swings, and said: "Zhan'er, don't blame grandpa, the reason why you won't be the patriarch ......"
"Grandpa, don't say it, I understand." Jiang Zhan nodded, he is a martial arts idiot, he only focuses on martial arts cultivation, so what will he do to take care of the many cumbersome things of the family, as he said, now that the Jiang family is fragmented and in a state of fragmentation, if there is no patriarch who cultivates to a high level, he will not be able to suppress the situation at all.
Jiang Zhan's thoughts are not in the position of patriarch, he also has to cultivate to a higher martial arts world, and avenge his father in the future.
"I'm not suitable, am I?" Jiang Ling was immersed in the sentimentality of his wife and children's serious injuries, and responded weakly.
"Suitable, I say you're suitable, you're suitable."
Jiang He stood up from his seat, his sharp eyes swept towards everyone in the family, and shouted: "From now on, Jiang Ling will be the fifth patriarch of my Jiang family, everyone will stand up and salute." ”
While Jiang He spoke, he saw a flash of brilliance in his hand, and a golden ring appeared, which was a token of the previous patriarchs of the Jiang family, he walked up to Jiang Ling, who was full of sluggishness, and put the golden ring on Jiang Ling's hand.
"See the Patriarch!"
Everyone bowed in unison, and their voices were loud, putting Jiang Ling, who was about to refuse to take over as the patriarch, in a dilemma, one head and two big, and finally thinking of the current situation of the family, as the second master of the Jiang family, he had no choice but to take over the heavy responsibility.
"Okay, since I have taken over the position of the head of the Jiang family, then I will say two points here." Jiang Ling's mood turned, and he also stood up, his eyes were cold, and he swept towards the many clan elders below, with an indisobedient might, and shouted: "In the future, the Jiang family will be centralized with the head of the family, with the assistance of the Taishang Elders' House and the support of the nine elders by the side." ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was quiet.
As the saying goes, there are three fires for new officials to take office, but this fire is also burning too quickly, will it backfire, some people think.
Sure enough, I saw that Elder Taishang, who was the first to oppose Jiang Ling as the patriarch just now, shouted to Jiang Ling with a cold face: "Jiang Ling, you just wanted to dictate power as soon as you became the patriarch, this is too much to see, right?" ”
Airplanes!
Jiang Ling didn't say a word, and in an instant, a stream of true yuan bloomed out, wrapped around his fist, broke through the air with a punch, and blasted at the Supreme Elder who spoke, blasting him upside down and vomiting blood, before he sneered: "What does it mean that there is no one in your eyes, if you say this, I want to tear you alive." At the beginning, you didn't know the situation outside, so you came out to threaten Patriarch Jiang Jian to send my daughter out to the enemy, what are your intentions? If it weren't for Master Lin Hai's rescue this time, do you think you would still be able to survive until now? Don't you think it's too much for a bunch of people who don't know the state of the situation to suddenly run out and sell the old and point fingers, and designate my daughter's fate without any consultation? ”
Jiang Ling was angry and scolded many clan elders, thinking of her daughter's matter, his heart was blazing.
"Jiang Ling, ...... you" Seeing Jiang Ling make a move, several Supreme Elders changed color, but what Jiang Ling said was also true, the Chen family had long had the ambition to destroy the Jiang family, and even the allies in the outer city were pulled.
"Poof!" The elder flew out upside down, spitting blood out of his mouth, full of horror, his expression was cold, and he shouted loudly: "Jiang Ling, as soon as you became the patriarch, do you want to declare a personal vendetta?" ”
"Communiqué personal vendetta? Do you deserve it too? Jiang Ling shook his head and said nothing.
"Okay, don't make any noise, just do what Patriarch Jiang Ling said." Jiang He said lightly, then turned around and walked out of the council room, ignoring the matter.
Jiang He, as the ancestor of the clan, was the most powerful person in the Jiang family, and as soon as his words came out, no one dared to refute Jiang Ling's decision.
……
In the council hall of Nuoda, Jiang Ling was the only one left, and after he drove away many clan elders, he was here alone in a daze, looking at the patriarch token in his hand, his thoughts were a little messy.
To be honest, Jiang Ling really didn't expect that he would become the head of the Jiang family in a daze.
"Daddy! I heard that you have become the patriarch, how can this be ......" At this time, Jiang Li's fiery figure quickly ran into the conference hall, he looked at his father with some vicissitudes of life, and his heart ached, and he stopped what he was about to say.
The news that Jiang Ling became the patriarch was like a wind, spreading very quickly, and at this time, maybe the entire Jiang family would know about it.
On the way to the conference hall, Jiang Li heard the news and immediately felt incredible, so he quickened his pace and rushed over.
"Li'er, are you awake?" Seeing his son, Jiang Ling was very excited, quickly stood up, grabbed Jiang Li's shoulders tightly with both hands, and felt very excited, but suddenly his smile froze, because his divine thoughts didn't feel a trace of vitality fluctuations in his son's body, and he completely became an ordinary person, worse than before he was wasted, how did he waste talent at the beginning, and he also cultivated to the third or fourth realm of quenching the body, and now he ......
When Jiang Li was in a daze, Jiang Ling had used his divine thoughts to enter his body and repeatedly checked it many times, but he didn't see anything, he only saw a hazy aura permeating him, and he had always had great expectations for his son who had a huge adventure and was shrouded in a mysterious aura.
"Li'er, your cultivation has also been abolished?" Jiang Ling's face was pale, he kept retreating, he couldn't accept this cruel fact, his daughter was abolished and cultivated, he was sure, but now his son has no cultivation, and his beloved wife lying in the ice coffin, all of this makes Jiang Ling difficult to accept.
"No! Isn't that good for me? Jiang Li smiled slightly, and a huge momentum rose from him, and he hit it with one palm, and with an easy blow to a table, it was torn apart.
"Shhh...... Li'er, where did your power come from, why do I feel like that power came out of thin air. Jiang Ling was surprised when he saw his son's situation.
"Dad, I'm fine, I'm just refining a kind of breathing magic power to hide all the vitality in my body." Jiang Li had no choice but to lie in order not to worry his father.
"By the way, how is my mother? She's there now, and I want to see her. Jiang Li said that his mother's eyes were hazy, and there was a warm liquid flowing in his eyes.
"Your mother, she ......" Jiang Ling's voice was melancholy, his demeanor was vicissitudes, and he told Jiang Li the truth, and for a while, a sad aura emanated from Jiang Li's father and son, raging in the entire meeting hall, extremely depressing.
"Father, take care of your health, the entire Jiang family still needs you to take care of it, I'll go see my mother."
Jiang Li was very sad, his voice was sad, in order not to cry in front of his father, he hurriedly said goodbye and went to the mountain behind Jiang's house, because his mother was over there, and Master Lin Hai also lived there, and every month he had to inject ice and snow vitality into the ice coffin where her mother was lying to maintain that the ice coffin would not melt, because the ice coffin used by her mother was not extremely cold ice and could not be kept without melting for a long time.
