Chapter 38: Succeeding to the Patriarch
Ling Tian was pushed in front of everyone by the elders, the jade pagoda on his chest was clearly placed on his chest, the other three elders saw the jade pagoda appear, and they all stood up respectfully, and the people below saw that the elders had all gotten up, so they naturally didn't dare to continue to sit, but Ling Tian's uncle was still sitting in his position, and his forces below were also sitting still, waiting to see his eyes and act.

"The jade pagoda is here, seeing this thing is like seeing the patriarch, you people who don't stand up to salute, are you trespassing!"
One of the four elders looked at the people below who didn't stand up, and his temper immediately came up, this elder hated people who didn't know how to be polite and unruly, if it weren't for the fact that this time was not suitable for killing, he would have cleared the door and killed these unruly people.
Although these people also know who they are, but now the elders are obviously angry, if they don't stand up again, maybe they will be killed, and the elders' temper and subordinates know that in order to save their lives, they have to ignore the acting patriarch's face and stand up.
"Elder Nan, how can this kid have a jade pagoda, could it be that he is Ling Canghai's child?"
The one who was called Elder Nan was the old man who saved Ling Tian, and the one who asked him was the eldest of the four elders, Elder Dong.
"Elder Dong, this child was rescued by me outside the council hall, Ruoli was chasing him at the time, I rescued him, asked his name, he said that his name was Ling Tian, and I found the jade pagoda hidden in his chest, so I brought him. β
"So, he is indeed Ling Canghai's child?" Elder Bei asked eagerly beside him.
"It should be right, he is hiding the Jade Pagoda, and he is being chased and killed by Ruoli, it can be determined that he is Ling Canghai's child, and our patriarch is back. β
After the four elders from the southeast, northwest, and northwest all looked at each other in the same way after confirming that Ling Tian was Ling Canghai's child.
"Four elders, now that I am the acting patriarch, since the Jade Pagoda has been recovered, will I be able to rightfully inherit the position of the patriarch. β
The acting patriarch even dared to brazenly say that he could succeed to the throne, and now that Ling Tian came back with the patriarch token, no matter what way it was, it should be Ling Tian to inherit the position of the patriarch, and he was nothing as an acting patriarch.
"What do you mean by what the acting patriarch said, do you want to be the patriarch? You are just an agent, now the widow and tokens of the original patriarch are here, since the position of the patriarch is Ling Tian, your character has been completed, it is better to leave this position!"
Elder Dong strictly abides by the rules of the clan, and now that the new patriarch is here, he should retreat to the next as the acting patriarch, and no longer ask about the affairs of the clan, and now he is embarrassed to want to succeed the patriarch, it seems that he wants to let him understand the clan rules again.
But Elder Dong thought about it, the acting patriarch dared to say this, which means that he originally wanted to succeed to the patriarch, and he should also know about the Jade Pagoda, and Ling Tian was chased and killed by Ruoli here, if Li only obeyed the orders of the acting patriarch now, could it be that the acting patriarch wanted to get rid of Ling Tian, and then get the Jade Pagoda to succeed the patriarch himself?
The more Elder Dong thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with the matter, he had not been able to find Ling Canghai's widow for a long time, and the Jiaofang Tiger Rider was often sent out to carry out orders, and he did not tell the elders what orders were executed, and the acting patriarch also said that he could not find them, and now that he had found it, he was not only unhappy, but also seemed to have expected it, and it was not okay to deal with this matter well.
"What we have to do now is to announce the new candidates for the patriarch, let Ling Tian complete the task of taking over the patriarch, and presiding over the affairs of the clan is the most important thing. "Elder West reminded Elder East that it was time for the succession ceremony.
"Now it's up to our four elders to confirm the authenticity of the Jade Pagoda, as well as Ling Tian's bloodline, and then carry out the patriarch succession ceremony, now everyone has withdrawn from the council hall and returned to their respective posts, and they are not allowed to enter the council hall without an order, nor can they leave the cave. β
Elder Dong issued an order, and the people below all followed the order and left the council hall, while Ling Tian's eldest uncle, Ling Qinghai, had not left yet, and was still sitting in the position below.
"Ling Qinghai, why didn't you go out, didn't you hear the order?" Elder Dong was really angry this time, there was already a circle of thin blades formed by spiritual energy around his body, it seemed that if Ling Qinghai dared to provoke Elder Dong again, this thin blade would be launched and hit Ling Qinghai's body.
"Ling Tian is also my nephew, I am here as an uncle to protect my nephew's safety, I haven't violated the rules of the clan, right?"
"What a bold man, and dare to quibble!"
Ling Qinghai was still quibbling, Elder Dong couldn't listen anymore, with a wave of his hand, a thin blade formed by aura rushed towards Ling Qinghai, Ling Qinghai quickly dodged to the right, this thin blade hit the mountain rock behind him, and made a deep mark.
"Elder Dong, if you have something to say, just let me go out and say it directly, don't get angry. β
Ling Qinghai saw that Elder Dong had really made a move, and knew that he was really angry, so he got up and left the council hall. When he walked outside, he let out a long breath, if he had been a little slower to react just now, he might have been on Huangquan Road by now.
In the council hall, the four elders looked at the injured Ling Tian, each of them felt very uncomfortable, Ling Nantian's widow was not found, and now he almost let this child die at the hands of his own people, it was obvious that there had been a rebellion in the clan, and when the problems in the clan were not serious, it was necessary to let Ling Tian stand firmly in the position of the patriarch.
"Ling Tian, now I want you to inherit your father's position as the patriarch, are you willing?" Elder Nan asked Ling Tian.
"Elder, can you tell me my father's name? I was raised by my aunt, and he didn't tell me my mother's and father's names, I just know that my mother died to protect me, and my father doesn't know anything, and I want you to tell me what kind of person my father is. β
"Ling Tian, your father's name is Ling Canghai, he is the leader of the Origin Mountain, the patriarch of the clan, and other things, we will tell you when you completely take over the Origin Mountain. "Elder North still feels that now is not the time to gossip, let Ling Tian take over as the patriarch as soon as possible, so that Origin Mountain can be on the right track.
"Okay, I promised to inherit my father's position as the patriarch, not only for the sake of the clansmen of the Origin Mountain, but also to avenge my father!"
Ling Tian's momentum grew suddenly, even the four elders felt that Ling Tian's aura was very large, this aura contained hatred and apology, hatred was naturally the hatred of parents and aunts, and apology was Ling Tian's apology for failing to fulfill his filial piety, this emotion drove the aura of Ling Tian's whole body to move away quickly, the eight-petal King Kong at the dantian sensed Ling Tian's inner emotions, and also emitted a faint light, as if comforting Ling Tian, and the third petal of King Kong, which originally had a crack, was even more obvious, and a faint light was revealed in the crack, and the third petal was about to openγ
Ling Qinghai returned to his residence, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he had planned the plan for more than ten years, but he didn't expect that something would go wrong when he was about to complete it.
"Ling Tian, I dare to kill your father and my own brother, and I can also kill your nephew, and the position of this patriarch must be mine. β
Ling Qinghai had another set of conspiracy planned in his heart, in order to seize the position of the patriarch, he needed to make everyone in the clan oppose it, and when Ling Tian was driven out of the Origin Mountain, he would kill him, and this plan, Ling Qinghai's several members of the Jiaoya Tiger Rider around him knew about it, just waiting for Ling Qinghai's order, they would take action and create chaos in the clan, so that Ling Tian could not deal with it.
As long as Ling Tian didn't handle one thing well, Ling Qinghai would have enough excuses to let Ling Tian abdicate.
