Xiao Chen's second and third uncles had been blinded by the power and influence of the Xiao Family. Xiao Chen's second and third uncles had been blinded by the power they held.
Perhaps they had forgotten that the Xiao Family was able to achieve this because of Xiao Chen. Therefore, as long as Xiao Chen was still alive, the power of the Xiao Family would never fall into the hands of the two of them.
A cold light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. Xiao Chen had truly grown up in the past few years in the Central Divine Region. After experiencing many things, Xiao Chen had truly matured. Now, Xiao Chen naturally knew what to do in the face of the Xiao Family.
"Father, you should rest for the next few days. Leave the rest to me." Xiao Chen knew that his father could not bear to lay his hands on his brothers, so he directly let Xiao Qing rest for two days.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Qing was silent for a moment before nodding in agreement. He had already guessed what Xiao Chen was going to do next, but Xiao Qing did not stop him. Perhaps Qin Lie had been right all along. His second and third brothers were probably beyond saving. It was just that he could not bear to do it.
After finishing their business, Xiao Chen and his father went to visit his mother, Zhang Jingxiang. Xiao Chen only left after staying at Zhang Jingxiang's place for more than two hours.
"Summon the elders of the Xiao Family to see me immediately." After leaving Zhang Jingxiang's place, Xiao Chen summoned a guard and ordered.
Other than the patriarch of the Xiao Family, Xiao Qing, there were five elders. These five elders were all old members of the Xiao Family. They were all Xiao Qing's uncles, which meant that they were Xiao Chen's uncles.
At this moment, Xiao Chen summoned the five elders of the Xiao Family. Hearing this, the guard felt that it was strange, but he did not dare to ask too much. After respectfully responding, he quickly left.
He arrived at the Xiao Clan's main hall first and waited there for about the time it took to brew a cup of tea. The five elders of the Xiao Clan arrived one after another. All five of them had white hair, but because of their cultivation, they did not look like an ordinary old man in his twilight years. Instead, they had white hair and a youthful complexion, and all of them were incomparably healthy.
The five great elders appeared one after another, secretly sizing up the five of them. Xiao Chen found that the development of the Xiao Clan in the past few years was indeed not bad. Just these five great elders alone had actually broken through to the Celestial Realm. Thinking about it, just a few years ago, Xiao Chen did not even have a single Celestial Realm expert, and now there were actually five.
Seeing the five elders, Xiao Chen took the initiative to stand up and bow. "Grandson Xiao Chen pays his respects to the five great granduncles."
"Chen 'er, there is no need to be so courteous. Knowing that you have returned today, the five of us old fellows are overjoyed. Originally, we were thinking of looking for you tomorrow, but who would have thought that you would summon us today, haha." Facing Xiao Chen's bow, the five elders were gratified and laughed loudly.
In the Xiao Clan, the five great elders' status was absolutely high. However, because of their old age, they rarely participated in the management of the Xiao Clan.
As the five elders' voice fell, the leading grey-clothed elder smiled and said, "Chen 'er, since you have called us here today, there must be something, right? There is no harm in saying it. Thinking about it, we old fellows have not had a good chat with you for a long time."
The first elder guessed that Xiao Chen must have something today, otherwise, he would not have directly summoned the five of them. Hearing the first elder's words, Xiao Chen did not stand on ceremony. After asking the five of them to sit down, he went straight to the point.
"Five great granduncles, how much do you know about the matters of the clan below?"
"To be honest, we know a little. We have also heard a little about the struggle between your father and his brothers." Hearing this, the second elder replied truthfully.
The five elders had naturally heard a little about the struggle for power between Xiao Qing and his brothers. However, they did not intervene. Firstly, it was because they were not very interested in these matters. Having lived to their age, unless it was a matter of life and death, the matters of the clan were basically unable to arouse their interest.
Secondly, it was also because Xiao Qing had never truly made up his mind to deal with his second and third brothers. Thus, it was even more difficult for the five elders to intervene. After all, no matter what, Xiao Qing and his brothers were the relatives of the five elders. They were all flesh and blood. As such, it was better to let them deal with it themselves.
"Alright, since all of you know, then I will say it directly. I want to establish a Law Enforcement Hall that is specifically responsible for upholding the laws of the Xiao Clan. For this reason, I would like to invite the five great granduncles to preside over the Law Enforcement Hall." Hearing the second elder's reply, Xiao Chen directly opened his mouth and said.
He wanted to establish a Law Enforcement Hall, and the only function of this Law Enforcement Hall was to set, uphold, and enforce the laws of the Xiao Clan. It had the absolute power to punish any member of the Xiao Clan who made a mistake.
From the direct clan relatives to the branch family disciples, and even the numerous cultivators who were attached to the Xiao Clan, it had the power to punish them. The Law Enforcement Hall's power could be said to be extremely great.
And it was precisely because the Law Enforcement Hall had such great power that Xiao Chen wanted to invite the five great elders to preside over it.
In the entire Xiao Clan, the five great elders were the most prestigious people. At the same time, they were also the most impartial people. They could make everyone in the Xiao Clan believe in them.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the five great elders were slightly stunned. There was no need for Xiao Chen to explain in detail. The five of them already knew what it meant once the Law Enforcement Hall was established. It was the power to control the life and death of countless members of the Xiao Clan.
They looked at each other. In the end, it was the first elder who opened his mouth and said, "Chen 'er, we understand what you mean. However, the five of us already have one foot in the coffin. How about this? Your father, Xiao Qing, will be the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall. The five of us will be the Deputy Hall Masters to assist your father. How about that?"
Facing Xiao Chen, who did not hesitate to give such great power to the five of them, the five great elders were not stupid. They clearly understood why the Xiao Clan had risen today. Therefore, no matter what, they had to let Xiao Chen's line firmly control the power of the Xiao Clan. Only then would Xiao Chen have a sense of belonging to the Xiao Clan.
Knowing what the five of them were thinking, Xiao Chen did not reject this. This was also good. At least it would let his father firmly control the entire Xiao Clan.
The matter was easily settled. The Law Enforcement Hall was established. Xiao Qing would be the Hall Master, and the five great elders would be the Deputy Hall Masters. They would be in charge of all matters of the Law Enforcement Hall.
The appointment of the Hall Master and Deputy Hall Masters had been decided. Next, it was time to choose the members. According to Xiao Chen's plan, the Law Enforcement Hall needed at least a hundred members.
He asked the five great elders to recommend some talents that they felt were suitable. Xiao Chen's requirements for the members of the Law Enforcement Hall were very simple. They must be fair and upright. Only when these points were satisfied would they be considered.
After a full six hours of discussion, Xiao Chen finally chose twenty people. Although this number was small, it was already enough to support the initial operations of the Law Enforcement Hall. As for slowly increasing the number in the future, this was not a big problem.
Everything was basically settled. In the end, Xiao Chen looked at the five great elders and said, "Five Great Uncles, the Law Enforcement Hall has been completely established. Tomorrow morning, five Great Uncles can announce the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall and its specific powers."
