Volume 1 Chapter 261 Seizure of Power
When Zhuo Yuming returned to the Nie family's land, he went directly to his residence and did not meet Nie Rongzheng.
When I stepped into the courtyard gate, I was surprised to find that several disciples were there. Looking at the two brothers of Nie Qinghui and Nie Qingfu who were a little sad and gloomy, and Nie Qingrou, who looked like nothing in comparison, Zhuo Yuming opened his mouth and asked: "What, is something happening to the Nie family, it seems that the atmosphere is a little strange when I come in all the way." β
Zhuo Yuming has now cultivated the Human Emperor Sutra Mental Method, and there is no eight-point spiritual power fluctuation on his body on weekdays, and several disciples are unaware of his return. It wasn't until Zhuo Yuming opened his mouth that he suddenly realized and reacted one by one.
"Master, you're back, is it going well over there in Xuyun Prefecture?"
Han Qing, who was in the outermost position, took the lead in getting up and asked quickly. Several other people also stood up busily and greeted one after another.
Perhaps because he has been bullied and excluded since he was a child, among the several disciples, Han Qing is the most eye-catching, active-minded, and has a better grasp of the way of dealing with the world than the others.
patting the disciple who was the first to follow him and is now a weak champion, Zhuo Yuming said with a smile: "Everything is going well for the teacher, but what's the matter with you, all of you don't have a good face, what happened." β
Zeng Yue, who was about to speak, stopped talking and gently pushed Nie Qinghui, the eldest of the five disciples.
Since the two brothers Nie Qinghui started, they have been in awe of Zhuo Yuming more than they admire, and they are only willing to answer questions on weekdays, but they never dare to talk freely in front of Zhuo Yuming like Zeng Yue or Nie Qingrou. Seeing the master's eyes on him, he didn't dare to shirk at the moment, and hurriedly told the truth.
It turned out that after Zhuo Yuming left, a major event happened in the Nie family that was enough to affect the direction of the family in the future.
Nie Rongzheng has a clan brother named Nie Rongfei. He and Nie Rong are half-brothers, and after losing to Nie Rongzheng, a strong contender for the position of head of the family, he has traveled all over the world for decades and rarely stays in the Nie family.
Two or three months ago, this Nie Rongfei suddenly returned from outside and brought back a friend.
After returning to the Nie family, Nie Rongfei did not have much contact with Nie Rongzheng and his family, and only drank and drank tea with the members of the original family every day, as if he wanted to chat with his former friends in the clan about old feelings.
As the contemporary head of the family, Nie Rongzheng didn't pay much attention to this clan brother who had never been on the wrong path, and was still busy with family operations and preparations for Cloud City.
Just when everyone thought that Nie Rongfei was just visiting his old acquaintances in the ordinary Hui clan and would leave again soon, ten days ago, a Nie family elder suddenly convened a family meeting.
When all the clan elders and leaders of all the lineages gathered together, they suddenly found that Nie Rongfei, who had been absent from the family meeting since the defeat in the battle for the head of the family, was also present. Moreover, the so-called friend he brought back also appeared in the Nie family's clan meeting in an extremely irregular manner.
Regarding the appearance of this outsider at the Nie family meeting, the patriarch who held the clan meeting had no opinion, but chatted and laughed with that person before the meeting began. Looking at the look of the clan elder, there was even a slight hint of flattery.
As the head of the family, Nie Rongzheng naturally couldn't sit idly by, even if he scolded Nie Rongfei for violating the rules, he asked that person to leave the council hall immediately.
However, unexpectedly, it was not Nie Rongfei who stood up to refute Nie Rongzheng, but the clan elder who usually didn't ask too much about general affairs.
Even if everyone present had a bad premonition, the tough attitude of the clan elder was enough to show that something big would inevitably happen today. For a while, the people in charge of the various veins had a wave in their hearts, and a few people with poor concentration had even begun to transmit their divine senses.
Sure enough, after the personnel arrived, the clan elder did not have any trouble, and came up and went straight in.
It turned out that the outsider turned out to be an elder of the Mingjing Immortal Sect, a first-class sect in Fuyao Prefecture, named Peng Fei.
After the clan elder introduced him, Peng Fei stood up, and as soon as he spoke, it was like a thunderstorm: "Everyone, my Mingjing Immortal Sect plans to recruit the Nie family into my sect as a vassal family of my sect. What it means to become a vassal force of my Mingjing Immortal Gate, I think you also know it. I can promise that within two hundred years, the Nie family will be among the first-class sects. β
Everyone on the field looked at Nie Rongzheng, who was the head of the family.
Unexpectedly, Nie Rongzheng didn't show any anger at all, but just sat in his position with an indifferent face, and what he looked at was Nie Rongfei, the smiling clan brother.
Peng Fei looked at Nie Rongzheng, who was as immobile as a mountain, and couldn't help but be a little surprised by the Qi cultivation kung fu of this Nie family master. It stands to reason that at this time, even if the other party jumps on the table and shouts and kills him, it is reasonable. After all, his own sect bypassed this leader of the Nie family, directly broke into the Nie family meeting, and raised this matter, which made it clear that he wanted to leave the head of the Nie family's family aside.
"Master Nie, I don't know what you think?"
Since the other party looked like he was strong, he was strong, and the breeze was blowing on the mountain, Peng Fei simply took the initiative to speak. After all, this matter is already provocative, and no one will be naΓ―ve to think that Nie Rongzheng can agree with it, and both sides are happy.
It's just that Nie Rongzheng's eyes don't seem to be able to see the Elder Peng of the Bright Pure Immortal Sect who has returned to the peak of Tibet.
Nie Rong was slowly getting up, looking around with a calm gaze. There was no anger on the head of the house's face, but a smile with a somewhat complicated meaning.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you are in favor of this matter, please stand up and take a stand. β
Nie Rongzheng spoke in a deep voice.
Obviously, the reaction of the head of the family was a little too much beyond everyone's expectations, and for a while, the atmosphere in the clan meeting hall of the Nie family was quite heavy.
The first to get up was none other than Nie Rongfei, who brought that Elder Peng to the Nie family. Immediately afterwards, the clan elder who held the clan meeting and another clan elder who was also of the same high rank also slowly got up. The three of them didn't say anything, just looked at Nie Rongzheng indifferently.
Everyone in the audience was shocked, and there were still two of the six clan elders of the Nie family who had retreated to the second line. Needless to say, there must have been many people here who have been pulled into their own camp by Nie Rongfei.
Sure enough, as the two clan elders got up, seven or eight more people from various branches got up one after another.
It's just that a few of these people are not so confident, and their eyes are a little dodgy, for fear of colliding with the sight of the head of the family.
Peng Fei, who came from the Mingjing Immortal Sect, saw that nearly half of the more than 20 people attending the meeting had already stood up to express their support, and immediately smiled slightly, and his tone was even more aggressive: "Master Nie, give me a happy word." Do you choose to stand behind my Mingjing Immortal Sect, or stand on the opposite side of my sect. β
Nie Rongzheng's gaze sharpened a little, and he swept over the dozen or so people who got up one by one.
"The stakes are high and will be discussed later. Elder Peng also asked the Nie family to sit for a few days, and after the next meeting, the Nie family would give the elder a clear answer. That's the end of today's business, so let's disperse. β
After speaking, Nie Rong turned around and left without looking back, leaving everyone in the audience to look at each other.
