Chapter 321: Madness
Far west, the garrison base of the boundary sea.
The high-level cadres of the Ximen family, except for those who need to garrison the fortifications, are all seated in the central hall at this moment, and the atmosphere in the hall is very depressing.
Ximen Zhang, the head of the family who vomited blood and fell into a coma earlier, had also been awakened again, and he was somewhat afraid to face the angry and cannibalistic gazes of these high-level people of the various side branches.
The Great Elder sat silently with his eyes closed, and the Second Elder simply looked at each other on the pillar in the corner of the hall, as if absent-minded, and the Third Elder ......
After a long silence, the atmosphere in the hall was finally broken.
"The head of the family, the old man's vein has dozens of gods and a new catastrophic person, but he was sent out on your orders to help Yuxian's nephew come out before he was detained, do you see if this ransom material is ......?"
"No money!"
"This can't be done, family master, you can't let me wait for both people and materials, right?!"
"Yes, family master, I persuaded you earlier, but you didn't listen, now ......"
"No money!"
"It seems that the head of the family, you are clearly bullying me and other branches?!"
"It doesn't exist. But...... No money!"
"The head of the family, the old man's vein only holds the spiritual weapon of the Heaven Destroying Spear, and now it is ......"
"No money!"
"You ......"
Faced with the compensation demands of the elders and high-ranking officials of the clan, although the head of the family, Ximen Zhang, was the first and two big, no matter what they said, he only had one sentence, that is, he had no money.
With such a perfunctory reply, how could it not make these old people in the palace angry and angry?!
If it was in the past, if there were only one or two branches, they would not dare to ask Ximen Zhang like this, but this time it is different, almost all the high-level branches have tacitly reached a united front, how can they be afraid of him Ximen Zhang.
"Hmph! The old man proposes! I will all go to meet the ancestor and ask him to be the master of the old man's family, and abolish the position of the head of Ximen Zhang's family!"
"Nepotism, hiding dirt, being emotional, reckless, and not daring to take responsibility...... He doesn't deserve to sit in such an important position as the head of the house!"
"Yes, let's go, let's go and invite the ancestor now!"
At this time, the high-level leaders of the various branches who were full of dissatisfaction, the new accounts and the old accounts were calculated together, whether it was Ximen Zhang's strong protection of Ximen Yu as the evil clan, or Ximen Zhang's resources favoring his main line, or his Ximen Zhang's strong words, and even this time of humiliation, defeat, and huge ransom, it seems that in their hearts, Ximen Zhang's complete sin is unforgivable.
In this regard, Ximen Zhang, who was sitting on the throne of the north lord, looked at all of them angrily, his face was gloomy and ugly, although he had long known that these old guys had been dissatisfied with him for a long time, but he never thought that they would dare to violate the ancestral system and raise the idea of forcibly abolishing themselves from the position of the head of the family, and without giving him time to react at all, they would gather together to go to the ancestors to ask for their lives and complain.
"You, you're rebelling!"
"Rebellion?! As the old saying goes, where there is oppression and injustice, there is resistance! If you act upright and sit upright, who will oppose you?!"
One of the most hot-tempered elders, after hearing such an angry rebuke from Ximen Zhang, immediately went back without giving any face, and when the others looked at Ximen Zhang, they were also full of sneers and disdain.
Before they could really step out of the threshold of the main hall, a powerful and incomparable aura flashed, and the ancestor of the Ximen family who they wanted to invite appeared directly in the main hall without invitation.
"Meet the Ancestor!"
Immediately, everyone, including Ximen Zhang, bowed down one after another.
"Ancestor, you came just in time, I'm about to ask you for your life......"
"Needless to say, what you just talked about, the old man heard it!"
"Ancestor, according to the ancestral system, the head of the family cannot be abolished, they are rebelling and forcing the palace!"
"Ancestral system, you are still the head of the family, and you actually came to the ancestor in person, in front of the ancestor, licking the old face and talking about the ancestral system?!"
The wicked man of Ximen Zhang sued first, so he bit his mouth, and even if the high-level people of those branches were unhappy, in front of the ancestor of the Ximen family, he scolded him directly.
Ximen Ancestor, who was sandwiched in the middle, had a gloomy and ugly face, and finally, as if his old man couldn't stand it anymore, he directly snorted coldly and suppressed the messy scene.
"Ancestor ......"
"You don't have to be much, at this time, our Simon family's face is completely lost. The clansmen imprisoned by Tianfu must be rescued!"
"If you can resolve this crisis, you can naturally continue to sit on the position of head of the family, but if you can't give a satisfactory explanation to all the clansmen...... You can abdicate and make way for Xian!"
Ximen Ancestor, in this way, can be regarded as not helping each other, which not only gives Ximen Zhang one last chance to prove it, but also gives a fair statement to the people of other clans.
In the heart of this ancestor, Ximen Zhang, the head of the family, is indeed a little incompetent, relying on his own love, allowing Ximen Yu to engage in a miasma of smoke in the clan, and in the distribution of resources, it is also obviously unfair, protecting his own veins, suppressing side branches, and too often not listening to advice, insisting on going his own way, and acting in one word......
Therefore, if in the matter of redeeming people in Tianfu, he Ximen Yu can appease the emotions of the lower clansmen, then why not give him a chance!
And if he can't solve this matter well, then he can simply follow the wishes of the higher-ups of other branches!
As the heritage of the Ximen family, this ancestor of Ximen has long been less involved in the internal affairs of the clan, in his heart, as long as he can keep the Ximen family from chaos, whoever can be the head of the family.
"This ...... We will obey the orders of our ancestors. ”
Seeing that their ancestors had made such a decision, except for Ximen Zhang, everyone else in the hall did not have much opinion, so they immediately bowed down again, but their ancestor was quite helpless and didn't look at them anymore, and left directly.
"Family Master, you have heard the words of the ancestor, if you can't give me and other people a satisfactory explanation, hehe......"
"Hmph! Don't be proud, you want to pull the head of the family off the horse, I think too much about you!"
"Oh, so you're going to bleed a lot and redeem the people of all the veins for me?!"
"Hemorrhage is true, but how could the head of the family say that he was going to ransom people?!"
"Hmph, master, you are playing tricks, I can't wait?!"
"Playing with you? Hmph! The head of the family doesn't have that kind of leisure!"
"And what do you mean?"
"For thousands of years, the four hermit families have been in the same breath, and this time the face of my Ximen family has been brushed away, which is equivalent to the face of the four hidden families has been brushed away!"
"The head of the family will pay out of his own pocket to invite the other three families to join forces to support, if he doesn't destroy that bullshit Tianfu, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in the heart of the head of the family!"
"The so-called ransom of materials? Hmph! It's just the last words of his Gu Changqing and his Tianfu delusional!"
"This ......"
All the branch elders and high-ranking officials were frightened by the somewhat frantic Ximen Zhang's words.
Even though they had made countless plans in their hearts in advance, they never thought that Ximen Zhang would want to unite the other three families that had no contradiction with Tianfu, and combine the power of those three families to destroy more than 2,000 gods in Tianfu in one fell swoop.
If they really do that, it will be their Ximen family or the so-called field of the hermit family that has been recovered, but it will inevitably trap their hermit family and completely leave a stench in the hearts of all the continent creatures for 10,000 years.
"Isn't this too much?!Not to mention that those three families have nothing to do with other people's Tianfu, and they have no hatred or grudges, they can promise you to send troops, but if they really destroy the magnificent Tianfu that rises like a star...... Our Simon family can really withstand the ...... of the Endless Cultivators."
"Hmph, the mercy of a woman! The winner is king, and the loser is the loser!"
"The history books are all written by the winners! The dignified and secluded West Gate, except for this heaven that does not know life and death, who else dares to provoke?!"
"Okay! The head of the family knows this matter in his heart! You don't need to say more!"
"Isn't it just a satisfactory explanation, how can it be difficult to fall the head of the family!"
After that, Ximen Zhang waved his sleeves, and left the hall directly, leaving only a bunch of old guys with mixed tastes in their hearts, and they were even more sure to pull Ximen Zhang off the horse, otherwise, in their hearts, they and others, the Ximen family, which had been inherited for countless years, would be destroyed in the hands of Ximen Zhang sooner or later.
Sure enough, although reckless, but quite resolute, the head of the family, Ximen Zhang, after leaving the main hall, looked for a place not to disturb, so he took out three messenger jade slips, opened them at the same time, and passed his own request for help to the three jade slips.
In this regard, naturally there was no way to escape the eyes of the ancestor of the Ximen family, but the ancestor of Ximen looked at the figure of Ximen Zhang, who was quite crazy, and did not say a word or pay a damn business.
......
In the extreme east of the Eastern Regions, in the garrison base of the Jiehai Territory.
Dongfang Han, the contemporary head of the Hidden Oriental Family, after reading the news in the jade slip, turned around and took off towards the place where the ancestor was resting.
"Oh, how is his Simon's family paid?, is it worth our help?!"
In addition to a large number of valuable materials in the reward, his Ximen family also promised that after surrendering or capturing Gu Changqing, the five spiritual weapons on his body, his Ximen family only retrieved the Heaven Destroying Spear, and the other four would definitely not be touched!"
"Oh, that's a good idea, what do you mean?"
"It's worth our trip!"
"Okay, then do what you want!"
......
In the far north of the Northern Regions, in the garrison base of the Boundary Sea.
Xia Mingyang, the contemporary head of the Xia family in the hidden world, directly announced the content of Ximen Zhang's message in front of several brothers in the clan.
"Big brother, what do you mean?"
After all, with so many resources, whoever doesn't want them is stupid!"
"But ......"
"I know what you're going to say, don't worry, your eldest brother and I haven't been mediocre and haven't seen money open to that extent, I can't work hard, do you understand?!"
"Uh...... Hahaha, it's still the eldest brother who is wise!"
"Okay, that's a good idea, let's do it!"
......
In the extreme south of the Southern Regions, in the garrison base of the Jiehai Territory.
Dong Aotian, the contemporary head of the Hidden Winter Family, couldn't help but sneer after investigating the content of the news.
"Old fellow!
"It's just Tianfu, it's really arrogant, and it's really time to suppress and suppress ......!"
