Volume I, Coming to Another World, Chapter 4: The Council Chamber

Half a month is fleeting.

Through this period of recuperation, Liu Yang's injuries in his body have basically healed. However, as Doctor Zhang said, he couldn't feel the qi in his body, and his cultivation almost fell into an ordinary person. Doctor Zhang thought of several ways, but it was still difficult to make a difference.

In desperation, Liu Yang had to accept this result.

These days, there is an undercurrent surging up and down the Liu Mansion, and the news that Liu Yang can't cultivate has already spread. As Liu Chang's parent, if there is no accident, the position of the next heir will naturally fall to him. Although Liu Yang's talent was mediocre before, Liu Fu has always been based on bloodline inheritance.

Liu's mansion has a long heritage, and it has continued to spread out its branches, and the scale of the number of people once reached tens of thousands. But after the turmoil, there are now only 100 descendants, and the others are all children of the collateral bloodline. At present, in the Liu Mansion, there are many people in the side bloodline, which has threatened the identity of the descendants of the lineage.

Liu Chang knew everything about the situation in Liu's house, but he was helpless. Over the years, if it weren't for his deliberate suppression, I'm afraid the situation would have been even more severe.

Liu Chang's father has only three children, and Liu Chang is the second. The eldest brother Liu Zhou participated in the rebellion for 30 years and was seriously injured, although he picked up a life, he was paralyzed from the waist down. And the third sister Liu Qin liked a swordsman who lost her trace after leaving Liu's Mansion more than ten years ago. Now among the three generations of descendants, Liu Yang and his eldest brother's children Liu Qiaoer and Liu Yu are left.

The eldest daughter's qualifications are extremely outstanding, but at the age of eighteen, she is already a cultivator of the third realm, not only a young powerhouse in the Liu Mansion, but also a little famous in the entire imperial city. It's a pity that the head of the Liu family has always passed on men to women, and although Liu Qiaoer is talented, it is difficult for him to take on big responsibilities. And the second son Liu Yu is not a good candidate even if he is idle all day long.

At this moment, there are more than a dozen figures sitting here like statues in the golden hall, red carpet, and cold stone tables.

This is the Liu Mansion Chamber, and all the people who can appear here are the core elders of the Liu family.

Liu Chang was dressed in white, sitting on the Taishi chair and staring at these people condescendingly. He didn't smile, and his expression was serious.

The sound of falling leaves in the council hall was suffocatingly quiet. From just now to now, this silence has been maintained for half an hour, and no one has taken the lead to speak.

"Bang"

I don't know how long it took for the sound of the dragon's head crutch hitting the ground to break the peace. Everyone's eyes fell on an old man.

He looked a little strange, with a scar extending from the center of his eyebrows to his cheeks, which looked not only hideous but also striking. In particular, the right hand holding the cane is not only dark, but also has swelling tendons and looks very thick. Although he wore a cyan robe and precious jade ornaments, he gave the impression of being bloody and furious like a ferocious beast. Liu Batian is exactly his name.

"Since you don't say it, I'll start up. He looked around the audience and said in a hoarse voice: "There is only one thing today, to discuss the successor of the next head of the family. ”

After speaking, his eyes fell on Liu Chang. But the latter's expression was calm, making it difficult to see what was going on.

"I'll say a few words. Another old man answered, and he said in a deep voice: "Liu Yang can't cultivate now and there is no suitable candidate for the lineage, so I propose to change the rules to let the three generations of descendants of the side line compete for the position of heir." ”

"What do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the council chamber instantly fell silent again. Everyone's eyes focused on Liu Chang, waiting for him to make a statement.

But unexpectedly, Liu Chang lowered his eyelids and did not react otherwise.

Seeing that the head of the family did not speak, several clan elders from the lineage naturally couldn't sit still. If they really follow their method, I am afraid that the next generation of the Liu family lineage will be completely replaced by people of the side bloodline. This matter seems ordinary, but it involves the issue of the distribution of resources between the two forces of the Liu Mansion and the side lineage, and of course there can be no concessions.

"I'm against it. ”

An old man took the case. His name Liu Zhang and Liu Chang's grandfather are the same generation and have a very high reputation, and they are very kind to the younger generations of Liu Fu on weekdays, but now they are furious when they see people of the side bloodline wanting to commit the following crimes.

He snorted angrily and said, "Liu Batian, don't think that I don't know what you are planning, the old man persuaded you to die of this heart." The head of the Liu family has always been from the lineage, and there has never been a side lineage. Besides, the head of the family is in his prime, and your ambition to plot a wolf is obvious. ”

At the end, his voice shook the hall and buzzed.

"Old horseman, what nonsense?"

"What is the background of the side? It is also the Liu family. If it weren't for the support of our side over the years, the Liu Mansion would have collapsed long ago......"

Without Liu Batian's response, six or seven figures were filmed.

"You are bold, dare to speak like this to your uncle!"

"Don't think you're surrounded by a lot of people!"

......

Several clan veterans from the lineage spoke one after another, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

Liu Batian took a sip of tea slowly with a teacup, and his attention was always on Liu Chang. Today, most of the clan elders from the side of the council hall are from the family, and if there is no Liu Chang, the head of the family, to come forward, a few descendants of the clan elders are nothing.

Today, he made this suggestion, which seemed to be aimed at the forces of the Liu family, but in fact, it was aimed at Liu Chang, who was the head of the family.

"Is it possible, do you still want to rebel!"

The scene became more and more chaotic, and Liu Zhang roared angrily. He was like a lion, and the hall began to shake.

As soon as the word "rebellion" came out, everyone fell silent. The empire is highly hierarchical, not to mention everyone like Liu Fu to do it.

"Bang"

The teacup shattered, and Liu Batian slowly raised his head. With a hoarse voice, he said, "If the rules don't change, what if they do?"

His words were like a storm that made the otherwise quiet chamber begin to tremble. Especially the high-level people from the sidelines, although they were shocked, they were a little excited at the same time.

"Liu Batian, you are presumptuous!" Liu Zhang couldn't help but scold, trembling with anger.

Not only him, but also several clan elders from the lineage were also extremely angry, but they were more of a palpitation. Not to mention anything else, there are now eight or nine people from the collateral line in the entire council hall, and there are as many as hundreds of collateral disciples in the entire Liu Mansion accounting for most of them. If this force did betray the Liu Mansion, who else would be able to stop them?

"Liu Zhang, what qualifications do you have to accuse me?" Liu Batian's eyes were slightly cold, and he said: "Don't think I don't know, you didn't participate in that cruel battle back then, let alone contribute to the Liu Mansion." ”

He couldn't help but sneer and continued: "You descendants are always on top, but those thankless things are left to our side to do. I would like to ask the turmoil of thirty years ago when thousands of people were killed and injured by the children of the side line, but why are there only a thousand people killed or injured by your descendants? In addition, most of the cultivation resources of the Liu family over the years have been contributed by the children of the side lineage, if it were not for us, I am afraid that the Liu family would still be considered to be one of the eight great families?"

His voice is not loud, but it is difficult to refute. In recent years, the descendants of the Liu family have withered, and many things need to be completed by the children of the side lineage, otherwise the current Liu Mansion will decline faster.

"What the Deception said is reasonable!"

"Hmph, we have contributed so much over the years, so we are naturally qualified to compete for the position of the head of the family. ”

Many clan elders from side lines echoed it.

"Family master, can my words be true?" Liu Batian looked at Liu Chang again.

Hearing this, the eyes of the others also focused on Liu Chang, the head of the family.

At this moment, there was a touch of fire in the council chamber.

Now, Liu Chang finally stopped being silent. He raised his head and looked at everyone, his deep eyes stayed on Liu Batian, and said to the latter: "According to the seniority, I call you Uncle Batian." ”

Liu Batian frowned, not knowing the meaning of Liu Chang's words. Others also felt a little inexplicable and didn't know what Liu Chang thought.

Liu Chang didn't give everyone much room to think. He stood up and said to Liu Batian very seriously: "Uncle Batian, how long do you think it will take me to kill the people on the side here?"
