Chu Yuntian smiled bitterly and sighed softly. "I understand. From today onwards, I, Chu Yuntian, will abdicate and become the Chu family's supreme elder. Chu Hengding will take over as the family head. Effective immediately."
To tell the truth, Chu Yuntian's emotions were complicated. He'd been forced to abdicate by his son and outsiders. He'd been utterly humiliated. However, when he saw Chu Hengding's allies, it was clear that he wasn't wrong. In his hands, the Chu family truly had a chance to rise.
Half gratified and half sorrowful, Chu Yuntian glanced at Chu Hengding. This was his own son! Although he was talented, his heart wasn't in the right place, and his actions were too radical. If he could steadily develop the Chu family with him, it wasn't impossible for the Chu family to rise.
As for now, it seemed like the Chu family would rise even faster in the short term. However, it was hard to say what would happen in the future.
When Chu Hengding heard Chu Yuntian's announcement, he beamed with joy. He'd been waiting for this moment for a long time. Hadn't he been planning for this moment all along?
"Since I, Chu Hengding, have taken over as the family head, the first thing I'll do is clean up the family. That traitor Chu Tianlu misled the masses with his lies, harmed his brothers, stole the family's treasures, colluded with outsiders, and so on. His crimes are too numerous to count and cannot be forgiven. Drag him out and kill him immediately!" Chu Hengding pointed at Chu Tianlu in high spirits and loudly declared his crimes.
The descendants of the Chu family didn't dare to object. Even the family head, Chu Yuntian, had been forced to abdicate by Chu Hengding. If they disobeyed Chu Hengding's orders now, they knew what would happen to them.
Two early Golden Core Chu family disciples quickly walked towards Chu Tianlu, ready to drag him out and kill him.
Chu Hengding suddenly waved his hand. "Wait, let him watch from the side. Otherwise, he won't be able to die in peace!"
After stopping the two Chu Family disciples, Chu Hengding smiled at Chu Tianhao and said, "Tianhao, let your father arrange a marriage for you. If it weren't for that traitor's mental issues, this marriage would have been his!"
Chu Tianlu didn't pay any attention to Chu Hengding's smug look. He was thinking about how he could turn defeat into victory. No matter how he thought about it, he didn't think there was any other way besides Lin Yi.
As for whether Lin Yi would be able to turn the situation around, it was hard to guarantee.
"Sect Master Ye Qingcheng, shall we settle the marriage we agreed on before? My son, Chu Tian, is a direct descendant of the Chu Clan. He'll be the heir to the Chu Clan in the future. There shouldn't be any problems with your sect's Duanmu Yu, right? "With Chu Hengding's current strength, the alliance with the Leaf Spirit Sect was no longer important.
But no one knew a son better than a father. Chu Hengding was well aware of Chu Tianhao's desire for Duanmu Yu, so the marriage had to continue.
Ye Qingcheng hurriedly pulled Duan Muyu in and said, "No problem, no problem. Speaking of which, Young Master Tianhao is really talented! Our Xiaoyu is climbing up the social ladder! Since Patriarch Chu doesn't mind our Xiaoyu's clumsy little girl, then let's settle it like this. There's no time like the present. Let's get engaged today. "
Lin Yi frowned slightly, and sent a telepathic message to Bing Wuqing. "Wuqing, go and protect Chu Tianlu first, lest he accidentally dies."
"Yes! Boss Lin Yi! "Bing Wuqing nodded in agreement. She stood up, parted the crowd in front of her, and walked over boldly.
"Chu Tianlu is someone I, Bing Wuqing, brought back. Kill him? Who dares! " Bing Wuqing's body emitted wisps of coldness. With every step she took, frost rapidly spread from the soles of her feet, forming a thin layer of ice on the ground.
Although the aura of a peak early Nascent Soul cultivator wasn't as strong as that of Xue Jianfeng and Yu Taicang, it was more condensed and sharp. It seemed to be able to break through Xue Jianfeng and Yu Taicang's Perfected Nascent Soul aura.
"Bing Wuqing?!" Xue Jianfeng was overjoyed. He hadn't heard Chu Hengding mention that Bing Wuqing was here. Otherwise, he would have gone to find trouble with her long ago.
All this while, Xue Jianfeng hadn't been able to gain any advantage from Bing Wuqing. Now that Xue Jianfeng was a top-notch Nascent Soul expert, how could he not seek revenge on Xue Jianfeng?
Chu Hengding actually wanted to talk to Xue Jianfeng about Bing Wuqing. After all, Xue Jianfeng and Yu Taicang were both from the Snow Sword Faction. He was wondering if the three of them had some sort of connection. However, he had been really busy these few days, and he had to set aside some time for the Center to improve his strength. After a while, he didn't have the chance to meet Xue Jianfeng and Yu Taicang, which was why he had been delayed.
"That's great. I've been looking for you, but I couldn't find you. So you've been hiding here!" Xue Jianfeng smiled proudly. "Chu Tianlu is one of your men? Then I really can't kill him. I have to torture him and make him wish he was dead! "
Bing Wuqing glanced at Xue Jianfeng coldly and said indifferently, "You can try!"
"I'll try!" The corner of Xue Jianfeng's mouth curled up. He was about to make a move to torture Chu Tianlu. However, before he could move, he realized that the air around him was filled with countless tiny black ice crystals. The temperature was dropping, and even the air seemed to be freezing.
"This is … the Merciless Ice Style?!" Xue Jianfeng looked at the thin black ice on his body in disbelief. He couldn't understand why the Merciless Ice Style, which was clearly useless, had suddenly become so strange and domineering.
Just the evolved version of the Merciless Ice Style was enough to threaten Xue Jianfeng's safety. Therefore, Xue Jianfeng didn't dare to take any more risks. He hurriedly called out, "Elder Yu, this Bing Wuqing is a little strange. Let's work together and finish her off quickly!"
Yu Taicang nodded. "Alright! You attack from the front, and I'll support from the side! "
Xue Jianfeng almost vomited blood. If he could threaten her with a direct attack, why would he need Yu Taicang's help?
But no matter what, there were two Nascent Soul Perfection experts. If they attacked Bing Wuqing at the same time, no matter how powerful his new Merciless Ice Style was, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
All of a sudden, an indifferent voice rang out beside Xue Jianfeng. "You've really forgotten the pain now that you've recovered! Why don't you learn from your mistakes? You're really a fool who doesn't learn from your mistakes. Do you want me to continue teaching you a lesson? "
Xue Jianfeng shuddered subconsciously. This voice was too frightening, and it had practically left a shadow in his heart. He turned around stiffly. Who else could it be but Lin Yi?
