Chu Zhoushan squinted his eyes, his voice had a trace of gunpowder in it.
When he said that, the entire hall became extremely quiet, everyone raised their heads and looked at Chu Tiankuo, wanting to see how he would answer.
Chu Zhoushan had already coveted the position of Patriarch for more than a day or two, so everyone was clear of his ambitions.
When Chu Zhoushan had first left the clan to fight his way out, he had said that one day he would take the position of Patriarch.
Right now, before his butt even warmed up, Chu Zhoushan was the first to attack Chu Tiankuo.
It seemed that the ancestral worship ceremony this time would not be dull.
"So what?"
Chu Tiankuo smiled, he was not surprised at all by Chu Zhoushan's reaction.
"Aren't you underestimating us by doing this?" Even if you abdicate now, it's not my nephew's turn, right? "
Chu Zhoushan squinted his eyes and snorted coldly.
Unexpectedly, Chu Tiankuo actually nodded and said seriously: "I admit, when I made that decision back then, I indeed didn't think too much into it, and it was a little inappropriate …"
Many people were startled, what did Chu Tiankuo saying meant, was he prepared to give in to Chu Zhoushan?
Everyone knew that Chu Zhoushan's daughter, Chu Qingya, was highly valued in the Da Xia Martial House.
I heard that many of the disciples of the Imperial Family are painstakingly pursuing her.
On the other hand, the main branch's development these years was not satisfactory.
Although they had relied on the Tian Dao Sect to unify Hong An City, not many people were optimistic about Chu Tiankuo and sit on the Patriarch's seat for a long time.
Just as everyone was thinking about that, Chu Tiankuo suddenly changed the topic. With a smile on his lips, he said, "Yun'er is not interested in the position of Patriarch. I'm afraid I have to continue sitting."
"Creak."
Chu Zhoushan's entire body released a cold aura, and immediately crushed the seat's armrest.
How could he not see that Chu Tiankuo was messing with him!
At that moment, the atmosphere was stifling. The atmosphere was so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
"Chu Tiankuo, you are very clear about my intentions, and everyone has seen the development of my branch over the years. The purpose of my visit this time was very clear. I want to make sure of the position of the head of the family. If you know what's good for you, you should obediently step down to give way to others. This will prevent everyone's relationship from becoming rigid, making everyone unhappy. "
Chu Zhoushan exhaled, his eyes shining with ambition.
He finally said everything he wanted to say out loud.
"Chu Zhoushan, tell me, what qualifications do you have to replace me?"
Chu Tiankuo was not the least bit angry, but instead asked with a smile on his face.
"Qualification?"
Chu Zhoushan suddenly stood up and laughed out wildly. Boundless spirit energy turned into a light screen, emanating from his body and shining all around.
Almost everyone in the discussion hall felt the pressure off Chu Zhoushan's body.
"Fourth level of Qi Condensation?"
"He's actually at the fourth level of Qi Condensation!"
Many of them paled as they involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air.
Chu Zhoushan's realm had actually reached the fourth stage of Qi Condensation?
Chapter 64 - Arterial convergence
The fourth level of Qi Condensation was nothing in the Tian Dao Sect. Many of the core disciples were beyond this realm, but for the Hong An City, the fourth level of Qi Condensation was already considered the best combat power.
Back then, Rao Xu and Shu Long, who were at the first level of Qi Condensation, could easily exterminate the Chen family, not to mention Chu Zhoushan who had already reached the fourth level of Qi Transformation.
"This is my qualification, how about it?"
Chu Zhoushan's eyes flashed with ambition.
In the meeting room, many people took in a breath of cold air, listening to Chu Zhoushan's words, it seemed like they were going to reveal their cards to Chu Tiankuo.
The reason he came to the Hong An City this time was to offer sacrifices to the ancestors and to force Chu Tiankuo to give up his position.
In that moment, everyone began to weigh the pros and cons.
If the two of them really began to argue, which side would he stand on, to reap even more benefits?
"Chu Zhoushan, if you want to use your realm advantage to force me to give up my position, then your wishful thinking is really wrong."
Chu Tiankuo casually put down the teacup and smiled, he did not do anything, but the atmosphere around him suddenly changed, like a sleeping lion suddenly baring its fangs, the huge aura swept out, and actually steadily suppressed Chu Zhoushan.
What … "What?"
Chu Zhoushan's face suddenly changed color.
"You, when did you reach the fourth level of Qi Condensation?"
Chu Zhoushan took a deep breath, and his pupils violently contracted.
Only Chu Zhoushan himself knew how much effort he had put in in order to reach the fourth stage of Qi Condensation. He thought that this realm would be able to firmly suppress everything, but he did not expect that not only was Chu Tiankuo not weaker than him, he was even faintly suppressing it.
This made him extremely angry at the same time.
"You, Chu Zhoushan, do not have the qualifications to sit in the Patriarch's seat."
Chu Tiankuo laughed indifferently, and then casually retracted his Qi.
The atmosphere at the scene froze once again. No one spoke a word.
"The Patriarch's strength is only a part of it. The more important thing is the inheritance."
Just then, the young lady who was standing behind Chu Zhoushan suddenly spoke out, his beautiful face filled with pride.
"Yes, Qingya is right."
Chu Zhoushan laughed coldly, and then mocked: "I heard that my nephew's martial spirit was Yellow Rank Level 9, and was accepted into the Tian Dao Sect. "Tsk tsk, is a Yellow Rank Level Nine martial spirit really that amazing?"
Chu Tiankuo smiled, he wanted to see what Chu Zhoushan had to say.
"My daughter, Chu Qingya, has a grade ten martial spirit at the Yellow Rank. She is the focus of the Grand Xia's Martial House."
Chu Zhoushan pointed to the girl behind him as he smiled proudly.
Chu Qingya was his pride, and also his true confidence.
Even in the entire Da Xia Kingdom, a Huang Level 10 was considered a genius.
The Martial House of the Da Xia Empire was the number one Martial House of the Da Xia Empire. Although its overall strength was slightly inferior to the sect, it would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. If he could obtain important training in the Grand Xia's Martial House, it would not necessarily be worse than entering a sect!
"Even if my nephew were to really enter the Tian Dao Sect, how important can his position in the sect be? If his position is ordinary and not taken seriously, then what's the point in joining a sect? "
Chu Zhoushan squinted his eyes, and spoke with an overbearing tone of voice.
"I say, Patriarch, you only have one son. Even though he joined the Tian Dao Sect, to be honest, his future is uncertain. "On the other hand, Zhoushan's children are extremely talented. Their elegance has been nurtured by the Martial House of Grand Xia, and in the future, no matter what, they will become elders. Siqi has long been promoted to the status of core disciple by the Martial House of Grand Xia, and her future is limitless."
The man dressed as a scholar suddenly spoke up as he sat there.
"So in my opinion, it would be safer for Zhoushan to be the clan leader!" At the very least, his family will be able to protect our Chu Family foundred years! "
He was likiger with a smile, and a knife was hidden within his smile.
>
"Then, you're on Chu Zhoushan's side?"
Chu Tiankuo raised his eyebrows.
"I'm not standing with anyone. If anyone can make our Chu family better, then of course I support them."
Chus quickly waved his hand, a smile still hanging on his face.
"How about this, everyone feels that Chu Zhoushan is more suitable than me to become Patriarch, and can support him."
Facing Chu Zhoushan's every step of the way, Chu Tiankuo was not in a hurry at all, as if he had already made up his mind.
Everyone was silent.
After a while, someone raised his head and said, "I believe that with your elegant talent, you are destined to shine in the Grand Xia's Martial House!"
"To unify Hong An City and destroy the Chen family, to be honest, you have done a good job already. You can even be said to be impeccable. But the mistake is that you only have one son, and his talent isn't good enough to make everyone submit. "
Another person expressed his opinion.
Amongst the dozen or so people, more than half of them actually expressed that Chu Zhoushan was more suited to be the Patriarch.
No one would have thought that during the Ancestral Worship Ceremony, it would actually turn into Chu Zhoushan forcing Chu Tiankuo to Palace.
"Uncle Chu, in order to become the family head, my father has sacrificed a lot …"
Chu Qingya said with an expressionless face.
"Because he paid a lot, I should obediently give up my position. What kind of logic is this? The old tutor isn't dead yet, can't you sit still anymore? "
Although Chu Tiankuo was smiling, he couldn't conceal the coldness in his eyes. His tone was laced with mockery.
"Uncle Chu."
Chu Qingya's pretty face gradually turned cold. A mocking smile hung on the corner of her mouth as she spoke word by word, "Don't even mention comparing your son with me, he can't even compare to my brother. Although it's cruel, it's the truth. Apart from those who pester themselves and deceive themselves, I don't think anyone would think it's a good idea for you to continue to be the head of the family. Grandfather must come out of seclusion for this ancestral worship ceremony, right? It just so happens that he has to witness how my father became the next Patriarch! "
"It's this lively?"
At this moment, a handsome young man walked into the meeting hall. His face was brimming with a brilliant smile, and his eyes were harmless.
"Yun'er, why have you come?"
After seeing Chu Yun, Chu Tiankuo's fierce gaze immediately softened.
He knew that Chu Yun had trained in front of the Martial Skill Pavilion yesterday and did not rest for the entire day and night. So at this meeting, he did not notify Chu Yun, but hoped that he would be able to get a good night's sleep.
This is Chu Yun?
In that moment, dozens of gazes all landed on Chu Yun.
There were all sorts of emotions in his eyes.
This naturally included some unfriendly eyes.
Dozens of gazes, which formed an intimidating aura, seemed to not have any ripples on the surface, but the truth was that they were like a flood and fierce beasts, pouncing fiercely towards Chu Yun.
If he hadn't entered the Qi Transformation stage, he wouldn't be able to withstand it!
"I was still outside when I heard this elder sister say that I was inferior to her brother, I was inferior to her."
Facing the boundless might, Chu Yun didn't even bat an eyelid as his gaze landed on Chu Qingya, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Chu Qingya sneered and proudly lifted her snow-white chin like a swan.
"Girl, you shouldn't come out and embarrass yourself."
Chu Yun shook his head carelessly.
"You're courting death!"
Being looked down upon by Chu Yun in such a way, Chu Qingya's chest heaved violently, and his beautiful eyes flashed with a killing intent that could not be hidden. He raised his hand, turned into a jade-blue wave, and shot towards Chu Yun.
In the Grand Xia's Martial House, she had become the goddess of countless students, much like how the stars cupped around the moon. Now that Chu Yun had humiliated her like this right after meeting her, how could he bear it?
"Angry from embarrassment?"
Chu Yun gave a bland laugh. From the beginning till the end, he had never placed Chu Qingya in his eyes.
"This is a good show!"
Everyone in the meeting hall widened their eyes. No one wanted to miss the next scene.
Chu Qingya and Chu Yun actually started attacking each other the moment they met. The so-called 'who's stronger' and 'who's weaker' were soon to be revealed!
"I rarely hit women, but your face is really asking for a beating!"
Chu Yun yawned, and casually slapped it.
The seemingly weak palm instantly shattered that wave of water. Then, its power did not diminish at all as it heavily slapped Chu Qingya on the cheek.
"Pah!"
A crisp slap sounded.
Chu Qingya's delicate body was sent flying several meters back by the impact. She landed on the ground in a sorry state. Her hair was in disarray as she stood there at a loss of what to do.
Her pretty face was wet and a red and swollen palm print was shocking.
Everyone was stunned.
How could the genius Chu Qingya... He couldn't withstand a single blow?
"Gentle!"
Chu Zhoushan was shocked, he immediately stood up and rushed to Chu Qingya's side and helped her up.
Looking at the red palm marks on Chu Qingya's white face, Chu Zhoushan's eyes were bloodshot and her entire body was trembling. She could not help but shout into the sky, "Chu Yun, you little bastard, do you want to die!?"
"Everyone saw that she attacked me first. I was just forced to retaliate."
Chu Yun spread out his hands with an innocent look on his face.
"What right do you have to fight back? Who told you to fight back?"
Chu Zhoushan hurriedly took out a few pills and fed them to Chu Qingya, his eyes filled with grief.
"What, when she attacks me, I should stand still and let her hit me? That's more like it, that's more like it, right?"
After Chu Yun heard this, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and his eyes became cold.
"That's right!" Trash like you should be left to Qingya's beatings. "You still dare to fight back? You've turned the tables! Today, I will teach you a lesson in place of your father!"
Chu Zhoushan was obviously already at the limit of his anger, and was going intage.
After he gently put Chu Qingya down, he revealed a sinister expression as he raised his hand to grab at Chu Yun.
This sudden turn of events caused many people to frown.
"Zhoushan, you've gone too far!"
Someone reminded him.
No matter what, the fight between Chu Yun and Chu Qingya was a dispute between the younger generation.
As an elder, he shouldn't interfere!
Chu Zhoushan directly attacked towards Chu Yun, which made it hard for people to watch.
Strangely, Chu Tiankuo sat there with an indifferent expression, without the slightest intention to get up. It was as if the one in danger was someone else, not his only son.
What did he mean?
Was he unafraid?
Everyone's heart was in turmoil.
"Are you really that impatient? Then, I'll give you another slap! "
Chu Yun's eyes suddenly shone with a bright light, his spine swayed like a dragon, all his muscles exploded inch by inch, a cold killing intent arose from his entire body, as though he had finally awakened from the hibernation of a ferocious god.
Chapter 65 - Old Man Chu
"Boom!"
Chu Yun's body trembled, the aura that was pressing down on him had disappeared, following that, his figure blurred, unexpectedly advancing instead of retreating.
"This …"
&nb
sp; "Does Chu Yun want to fight with Chu Zhoushan now?"
"Too arrogant!"
Seeing this, everyone shook their heads.
Even if Chu Yun could suppress Chu Qingya, what realm was Chu Zhoushan in?
Fourth level of Qi Condensation!
Looking the cities around, there were no strong cultivators at the fourth stage of Qi Condensation, Chu Zhoushan was the only one!
"Little bastard, I'll kill you!"
Seeing that Chu Yun still dared to be rude to him, the veins on Chu Zhoushan's forehead started to bulge, and his face twisted ferociously. The palm that was extended out became several times stronger without any sound. It tore through the air and emitted a 'puchi' sound.
Everyone was sweating because of Chu Yun.
His talent was not bad, and his combat ability was also strong. Unfortunately, he was too proud!
With such a character, he was destined to not walk too far.
There were countless talented geniuses who had died early in the end.
"Hand of the Flipping Cloud!"
Chu Yun took a step forward, and the entire hall immediately shook violently. His palm strike, in a short period of time, actually erupted with an extremely powerful aura, and with the power to swallow the sky and cover the earth, he smashed towards Chu Zhoushan.
It wasn't that Chu Yun hadn't achieved this goal of defeating a strong opponent with a weaker strength.
He had challenged people above him many times, but he had never lost a single battle.
"What's going on?!"
Chu Zhoushan's pupils violently contracted. He could clearly feel that this palm strike that had come at him head-on, was simply unavoidable.
It was too perfect. There was no way to be picky about it.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that such a blow came from a young man!
"Boom!"
The sound of explosions was deafening. Half of the huge meeting hall collapsed, and a few stone pillars that were thick enough to hold a few people in their arms crumbled inch by inch because they could not withstand this tremendous force.
All those who weren't at the Qi Condensation realm were sent flying by the immense force. They couldn't stop in their tracks even if they wanted to.
