Chapter 2: Family Meetings

City Lord's Mansion, Council Chamber.

The five of them sat around the growing conference table, and the family elders were in full swing.

In the center, it was the city lord Liu Mingjie, who only heard him say in a deep voice: "If the Elders agree to use the immortal token, I will make corresponding compensation and enter the quota of the Ten Thousand Swords Cliff, and my department, in the next three years, can give up four places every year." ”

Sitting at the bottom left was the third elder, and after a glance with Liu Buji, the deputy head of the family who was sitting opposite the head of the family, he quickly retorted: "For the sake of your own son, we all have to give up an opportunity to save the family from danger, I'm afraid this is not very appropriate! Besides, what kind of power should an immortal's promise have, and giving up twelve places to enter the Ten Thousand Sword Cliff in three years, although the weight is indeed not small, but compared with the promise of an immortal, there should still be a big gap." Therefore, the private use of the token is a loss that our family can hardly bear."

The attitude of the three elders was very clear, that is, they did not agree.

The expression on Liu Mingjie's face did not change much, which was expected.

Liu Buji, the deputy head of the family, looks the same age as the head of the family, Liu Mingjie, but he is thinner, and there is a little more treacherous between his eyebrows. "Violating the ancestral teachings and using immortal tokens, this is a big mistake! The person who made such a big mistake is not suitable to serve as the head of the family, there are stakes, and please think twice about the head of the family, don't lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds, we are all for your sake!"

At any time, Liu Buji is willing to create a little obstacle and difficulty for Liu Mingjie, and he feels that this is one of the joys of his life.

Especially this kind of thing that harms others and can benefit oneself is even more energetic to do.

If Liu Mingjie is really hot-headed, regardless of the opposition of the elders, he privately uses the immortal token, and the position of the head of the family will be in his Liu Buji's pocket!

Haha, Liu Buji smiled secretly, and couldn't help but make up for the cozy and chic scene in his mind.

The city lord Liu Mingjie saw Liu Buji fighting-for-tat, secretly mending the knife, and his two thick eyebrows couldn't help frowning.

The second elder dressed in black, who has always been gentle, rarely participates in family battles, but is a powerful wall-riding faction, at this time, seeing that the third elder and the deputy head of the family are in cahoots, and secretly communicate with each other, they can't help but feel that these two people are too blatant, although they are unhappy for the head of the family, they still say in their mouths: "This kid Guan Yu has been smart since he was a child, everyone knows this, and in the past, his cultivation progress can be called a god speed. Since being struck by lightning, although he has not entered the realm of martial arts, the degree of his hard work is rarely matched, which is obvious to everyone and there is no doubt about it. Maybe using the immortal token will be beneficial to him, after all, no one knows the root cause of the slow entry. ”

The second elder paused and took a sip of the fragrant tea in front of him.

"However, the use of immortal tokens is indeed not trivial, it is equivalent to saying that the family has lost the most powerful barrier! I believe everyone knows better than me what is at stake. The next time the family is in crisis, how to survive it is really worrying. ”

The second elder said a lot, but in fact, he didn't express any opinions, and he didn't say a word about agreeing or disagreeing with what everyone wanted to hear the most.

The second elder's kung fu riding the wall is really profound, and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

For the second elder's harmony, Liu Mingjie has long been used to it.

The Great Elder, who had not yet expressed his opinion, looked pensive at this time and was silent for a long time. Liu Mingjie didn't urge, just quietly looked at this old man with considerable strength and a sense of justice.

After a long time, the Great Elder spoke slowly.

"What the second elder said just now is also quite reasonable, we can't rashly kill the future of a junior, but we can't recklessly put the family at a disadvantage. Looking at the overall situation, I think that the core point is the development and growth of the family, once the immortal token is used for Guan Yu this time, when the next family crisis comes, what else do we have to rely on to get through it safely?"

"Family Master Liu, do you have this kind of dependence?" the Great Elder's eyes flashed as he stared at Liu Mingjie and asked.

"If there are means to protect the safety of my Liu family, it is only a trivial matter to use the immortal token!"

"Great Elder asked a good question!" Liu Mingjie sighed, "As the head of the Liu family, how can I not consider the stakes involved!"

"Then, I'll let everyone present take a look to see if I have the ability to protect the family's safety!"

After that, Liu Mingjie got up slowly, his clothes were windless and automatic, like a sail sailing against the wind, and a terrifying earth-shattering momentum burst out from his body. This momentum was as sharp as a sword, as majestic as a mountain, as swift as thunder, and as deep as the sea, far beyond the reach of everyone present.

"You ......" Liu Buji looked shocked, and wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak.

The three elders were also stunned, and lost their voices in great shock.

The momentum of the substance grew stronger and stronger, as if it were about to break through the roof, the tables and chairs began to shake, the teacups on the tables rattled, and the windows creaked.

The invisible momentum is overwhelming.

The Great Elder was the first to come back to his senses, and asked in surprise and joy, "Family Master Liu, have you already borrowed the Heavenly Realm in half a step?"

"After years of hard work, I am fortunate to have gained, and I feel that it is not far to break through to the Borrowing Heaven Realm!"

Liu Mingjie's tone was full of pride.

Borrowing the Heavenly Realm, it was a level that was completely different from the Small World Realm.

The small world realm is only constantly growing the true qi in the body, and no matter how deep the internal force is, it cannot communicate with the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. And borrowing the heavenly realm, it can form a divine bridge in the dantian, and with it as a beam, you can borrow the aura of heaven and earth and condense it into spiritual power.

Compared with the Heavenly Realm and the Small World Realm, the force value has increased tenfold or dozens of times, which is not at all the same.

Cupola City, a hundred years have passed, but there has never been a single Heavenly Realm cultivator.

Only by breaking through the Borrowing Heaven Realm can you truly touch the threshold of cultivation. And its own strength will also be turned upside down. There is a family that borrows the powerhouse of the Heavenly Realm, and it can definitely become a first-class family power, and the status, resources, and opportunities that the family can obtain will all undergo fundamental changes.

This is clear to all of you.

"Great Elder, do you think I can still protect the safety of the family?" Liu Mingjie reined in his momentum and asked easily.

"Yes, so capable!" The Great Elder was still immersed in shock, and finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly said very excitedly, "Congratulations to the head of the family, congratulations to the head of the family, I wish the head of the family to break through to the Borrowing Heaven Realm as soon as possible and lead my Liu family*!"

"This is a must! You should rest assured! So, what do you think about the activation of the immortal token?"

Liu Mingjie's eyes glanced around, focusing on the three elders and Liu Buji.

"What do you think, do you still want to see it?" the Great Elder's voice was agitated, as if he was arguing with others, "This is a very simple question, the immortal token, the master of the family can use it whenever you want, and you can use it whenever you want." I am firmly in favor of it!" After saying that, he took out a strange metal object shaped like a crescent moon from his body and placed it on the table.

It was one of the five keys to open the chest, and each of the five keys was one for each member of the Presbyterian Church.

A smile appeared on the face of the city lord Liu Mingjie, and the secret elder in his heart was really wise, quick-minded, quick to decide, and accurate in the general direction, his department could be inclined in terms of resources and cultivation in the future. After all, the Great Elder was still clearly on his side at the critical moment, otherwise there would really be some trouble.

When it comes to those who help him, Liu Mingjie will never be stingy.

City Lord Liu Mingjie glanced around with a somewhat sharp look.

"As I said just now, as long as you agree with me to activate the token, in the next three years, the quota for entering the Heavenly Illusion Realm, my family, can give up four every year, and take out four marrow cleansing pills, as for the family in ,......danger, Liu Mingjie paused, "Which family will not encounter danger in the development process!

"The family master is right!" the Great Elder almost wanted to raise his hands to express his excitement, "Purifying the Pill! Family Master, are you telling the truth? This kind of elixir can only be successfully refined by a mid-grade Dan master, and it is hard to find in the entire Pidan Prefecture! Four pieces means that we can cultivate four peak powerhouses of the Small World Realm! If our family can have such an opportunity, why can't we develop and grow, the super first-class family is just around the corner!"

The second elder, a good old man, was also a little stunned by Liu Mingjie's words.

That's so informative!

There is no suspense for the head of the Liu family to break into the Borrowing Heaven Realm, but the terrifying thing is that he can actually take out four myelin-washing pills, and there is endless room for imagination behind this!

Seeing that the Great Elder had fully fallen to the head of the family, the Second Elder knew that it was time for him to make a clear statement, and at this moment, there was no room for the slightest ambiguity and hesitation, and riding the wall was no longer in line with the general trend. Otherwise, if others eat meat, he can only drink soup, and he will not even have soup to drink.

The second elder who had made up his mind spoke loudly and with a clear attitude.

"The head of the family, isn't it just a token, you can use it if you want! Don't worry too much, everything is centered on the development of the family! Besides, the immortal token has been passed down for several generations, and no one knows how much it can be used until now, not to mention that although Xiaoguanyu is not fast in practicing martial arts, he is talented and intelligent, if there is an immortal law to cultivate, it is not impossible to become a great power in the future, and this is also a disguised contribution to the development of the family!"

"I resolutely agree with the head of the family to activate the immortal token!"

With that, he took out a golden shining thing from his body, which was one of the five keys.

The second elder held the key in both hands, respectfully sent it to Liu Mingjie, bent his body slightly, looked at Liu Mingjie eagerly with his eyes, and said respectfully: "The key will be handed over to you now!"

Liu Mingjie reached out and took the key, nodded and smiled at the second elder, his smile full of affirmation and encouragement. The second elder seemed to be greatly overjoyed, his body was bent even more, and the smile on his face became brighter.

When the Great Elder saw this, he secretly sighed in his heart.

"This old thing, don't look at the usual submissive, a good old man image, I didn't expect that at this critical moment, but he is sober-minded and has a clear position, although he is a little hindsight, but his attitude is better than what I did. ”

"Sure enough, everyone has a good job! It's not that they don't sing, it's just because the time hasn't come, and once the opportunity comes, it's better than the other. ”

"Life, you have taught me another vivid lesson!"

The Great Elder sighed a little, and at the same time, a trace of inexplicable worry arose in his heart, as if someone had forcibly taken away some of his favorite things.

The third elder and the deputy head of the family, Liu Buji, saw the second elder's fierce acting skills, although there was a look of disdain on their faces, but their hearts were like turning over the river and the sea, seriously considering the current situation and the gains and losses of their own interests.

"Where should I go?" The third elder was entangled in his heart, emotionally speaking, he was willing to support Liu Buji, after all, he usually got along quite well, and the key was that he also took a lot of benefits from others, but now the situation within the family has changed dramatically, once the head of the Liu family breaks into the Tianqiao realm, his prestige will be unmatched for a while, and he will definitely have an overwhelming advantage.

If Liu Buji fights with the head of the Liu family again, he will definitely be easily crushed. If you still follow Liu Buji to the dark now, the ending is self-evident.

"The situation is stronger than others! The Great Elder has a clear banner, and the Second Elder is abnormal, and for the sake of interests, they all support the Liu Family Master so resolutely! The general trend has been achieved, and I am powerless to change it. ”

The three elders looked at the deputy head of the family Liu Buji deeply with apologetic eyes, and then turned to Liu Mingjie and bowed: "Congratulations to the head of the Liu family on the imminent breakthrough of the Borrowing Heaven Realm, this is really a great blessing for the entire family of my Liu family! Since the head of the family has the strength to protect the safety of the Liu family, the old man also retracted what he just said, and agreed in principle that the Liu family took the initiative to use the immortal token. At that time, I also ask the head of the Liu family to give one more place to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Cliff, if there is another myelin cleansing pill, it will not be difficult for my family to appear as a peak powerhouse in a small world realm!"

Liu Mingjie saw that the three elders who had been following Liu Buji to make small moves were finally sober-minded and corrected their positions, and he was also relieved in his heart, after all, the cohesion was strong, which was of great benefit to the development of the family.

"The three elders have been overwhelmed, all members of my clan, as long as they sincerely seek the interests of the family, I will treat them equally and fairly. The quota for entering the Ten Thousand Swords Cliff and the Cleansing Pill will not be missing from you!"

Hearing Liu Mingjie's words, the three elders secretly muttered in their hearts: "Speaking is better than singing, how can there be real fairness in this world! The standard of measurement is always in the hands of a very small number of people, and it is not up to them to decide whether it is fair or not!"

"It is precisely for the sake of so-called fairness that I have to agree with you to take all the immortal tokens of the family for personal use! Otherwise, will the Elders still have a foothold for me? My family is deliberately suppressed and far away from the center of power, it is a matter of minutes!"

Despite all the helplessness in his heart, the third elder quickly handed over the key to Liu Mingjie.

Only the deputy head of the family, Liu Buji, did not express his opinion, and the city lord Liu Mingjie was not in a hurry to urge, but just looked at it quietly.

The other three elders all looked at Liu Mingjie.

There was silence in the chamber.

Liu Buji suddenly recovered from the shock just now, and then he realized that the situation had changed dramatically, and the silent atmosphere made him feel that there was an invisible pressure around him, which was very strong, and it didn't seem to be weaker than the terrifying coercion that Liu Mingjie had just released.

Liu Buji felt almost out of breath.

What to do? Should I hold on or give in?

Success or failure is in an instant, one wrong step, maybe there is no turning back!

Give up your insistence, succumb to the head of the family, Liu Mingjie, and agree to him to use the immortal token, it is very likely that you will never be able to get the position of the head of the family again, and even stay away from the center of power, and be out of the game.

Continuing to insist, but not controlling the overall situation, with the agreement of the three elders, his opinion alone is no longer so important.

Agree or disagree, the Elders' conclusion will be the same, and Liu Mingjie will all have the opportunity to activate the immortal token.

But the consequences that he will bear are completely different!

Whether you agree or not is a matter of attitude, a question of people's hearts, and a matter of position.

What a tough choice!

Liu Buji was in a hurry, and a layer of fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

After a fierce battle between heaven and man, Liu Buji finally made up his mind and said word by word: "Family master, I also agree with you to use the immortal token!"

After finishing speaking, he felt that his eyes were stiff and his whole body was weak, as if he had drained most of the strength in his body by saying this sentence.
