At this time, the female ancestor walked forward and cupped her hands in greeting. She politely said, "My name is Zhou Changjuan, and I am a member of the Ye Clan's fourth branch.
Mr. Ye might not know, but the River Styx Formation requires someone with a Great Desolate Stone to be able to activate it.
I am a woman, and even as an ancestor in the clan, I do not have the qualifications to obtain the Great Desolate Stone, so … "I am also unable to set up the formation."
Zhou Changjuan addressed Ye Fan as "Mister", obviously with the intention of submitting.
However, the people of the Zhou family did not laugh at her. In this kind of situation, no one would dare to take advantage of Ye Fan because that was not self-respect, but stupidity.
Great Desolate Stone? So that stone was called the Great Desolate Stone in the clan?
Ye Fan suddenly remembered that when he asked Zhou Wei and the others what the stones on the Zhou Family Village's elder's staff were, they said that they were low-grade Qi Nurturing Stones and were not worth much.
From the looks of it, the one with the least amount of energy was the Qi Nurturing Stone, and the one with the strongest energy was the Great Desolate Stone.
The difference in preciousness was enormous. Even the ancestors of the clans didn't have one.
However, listening to Zhou Changjuan's words, it was obvious that she was resentful of being treated differently as a woman.
It was no wonder that she wasn't too sad about the death of this group of male Patriarchs.
With a few hundred years of lifespan, the people around him had long since become indifferent.
Moreover, with the death of the other Patriarchs, she was the only Patriarch of the Zhou Clan, and her status had increased by a large amount.
Moreover, she wasn't from the main bloodline, so she didn't need to be responsible for what had happened before.
Therefore, she was very calm and collected.
"Hubby, since this Patriarch Chang Juan has nothing to do with that matter and didn't attack you just now, then let her go." Siu Qingxue walked over and said to Ye Fan gently.
Ye Fan looked at his wife thoughtfully. The two of them looked at each other and understood each other's intentions.
Obviously, Siu Qingxue had already keenly sensed that if she wanted to lead the Xuanming Tribe, this Zhou Changjuan would be quite useful. Keeping her alive was far more useful than killing her. leaf
Fan Xian also felt it, so he just happened to sell Siu Qingxue a favor.
He pretended to frown and said, "Alright, originally, since she was the ancestor of the Zhou Clan, I planned to kill her. However, my wife, you have already pleaded for her, so I will let her go."
"Thank you, husband." Su Qingxue pursed her lips and smiled.
Zhou Changjuan was no longer a child. As a woman, she was actually more meticulous than the other male patriarchs.
At this moment, although she knew that Ye Fan was acting, she still accepted Ye Fan and Su Qingxue's kindness.
"Thank you, Patriarch Su, for pleading on my behalf. In the future, Zhangjuan will definitely do her best to help the Patriarch govern the Xuanming Tribe." Zhou Changjuan bowed, as if she had publicly announced her submission to Su Qingxue.
The advantage women had over men was that even if they gave in easily, they wouldn't be laughed at. After all, they weren't men and weren't afraid of losing face.
When the descendants of the Zhou family's four branches saw that their Patriarch had already paid his respects to Su Qingxue, they were also very sensible. They quickly ran out and knelt behind him, expressing their submission.
The Zhou clansmen of the other bloodlines saw that the people of the four bloodlines were so "shameless", but they didn't dare to fall behind. They hurriedly came forward to pay their respects to Su Qingxue under the leadership of the elders of the various bloodlines.
As matters stood, the Xuanming Tribe had changed the world. It was already too late. They began to consider how to fight for the clan's status and resources after they survived.
The disciples of the clan had known the principle of the law of the jungle since they were young. To them, real benefits were often more important than kinship.
The Patriarch, Elders, and Patriarchs that they might not even see twice a year, or their own lives, which was more important? There was no need to think too much about it. It was definitely the latter!
Moreover, now that their Patriarch was dead, if they wanted to maintain their position in the clan, they had no other choice but to rely on Ye Fan.
Of course, there were also a few people who were quite proud and disdainful towards Su Qingxue. They all stood where they were, unwilling to come over, as if they were prepared to die generously.
Ye Fan asked Qingxue with a smile, "Wife, what I want to do has already been completed. The power of life and death here is in your hands. Tell me, how should I deal with the people of the Zhou family?"
Qingxue thought for a moment, then turned around and shouted, "Mo Mo, come here."
Mo Mo Mo, who had been lazily lying at the back, heard his mistress's call and crawled over as fast as he could with his four thick and short legs.
However, a turtle was a turtle. Even if it was a black turtle that showed signs of returning to its ancestry, it was still very slow.
Qingxue was a little helpless. She smiled and shook her head. She walked back and picked up the black turtle that was even bigger than her.
The Zhou clansmen all looked at Mo Mo with curiosity. They had only heard that there was a black turtle that had returned to its ancestry and become a legendary divine beast of the Xuanming Tribe, but they had never seen it before.
At this time, Qingxue placed Mo Mo in front of the remaining thousand people of the Zhou family. After patting its head, she stretched out her hand and condensed an icicle.
"Mo Mo, do you know how to do it?"
Mo Mo's green bean eyes blinked. He opened his mouth and began to spit out cold air. Very quickly, the icicle in Qingxue's hand turned into a large ice cube.
Zhou Changjuan and the group of Zhou clansmen were all quite surprised. They had never seen a real Black Turtle before. Although the cold air that Mo Mo spat out wasn't that strong, it was definitely not an ordinary Black Turtle!
Given time, a Divine Beast Protector might really appear!
Qingxue saw the expressions of the Zhou clansmen and felt satisfied. She stood up and said, "I know, I'm young and I don't have enough experience. The reason I'm able to stand here today is mostly because of my husband … I don't deny this.
However, it was also because I was still young and had only been cultivating for about a year. So … I don't think it's shameful for me to have my current results.
As everyone can see, I can come and go freely in the River Styx Formation. The Mo Mo that I raised has already returned to its ancestral form, and my bloodline has opened the Wordless Heavenly Book!
Let me ask everyone, was the previous Patriarch, Zhou Tianqi, able to do any of this!?
The Zhou clansmen were silent. Indeed, not to mention allowing the Black Turtle to return to its ancestry and activate the Heavenly Book, even the River Styx Formation wasn't something that an ordinary descendant of the Netherworld could casually enter.
The degree of awakening of the Nether Blood also had a difference in their resistance to the cold Qi.
From these aspects, Su Qingxue was truly destined to be the Patriarch of the Xuanming Tribe.
Qingxue continued, "The only thing I don't have the qualifications to be the Patriarch right now is my cultivation. However, as long as I have time, I believe that my strength will not disappoint anyone."
In addition, many of the Zhou clansmen might not know this, but my mother is the daughter of the Zhou clan, so … In my body, half of it is the bloodline of the Zhou clan. "
When these words were spoken, not only did many of the Zhou clansmen raise their heads in surprise, even Zhou Changjuan looked at Qingxue in astonishment.
Qingxue stretched out her hand to indicate the excited Zhou Xinjiang behind her and said, "This is my grandfather, Zhou Xinjiang. Although he is just an old man from a very ordinary Zhou village, there is no doubt that he is a member of the Zhou clan."
At this moment, many of the Zhou clansmen revealed expressions of understanding. Most of them didn't know Su Qingxue's specific background.
However, when they found out that Su Qingxue was half of the Zhou bloodline, they felt a lot more cordial.
To put it bluntly, they felt that the awakening of their bloodline was not only due to the Su family, but also due to their Zhou family.
Qingxue said seriously, "To me, whether it's the Su family or the Zhou family, they are all my parents' relatives.
From the beginning to the end, I have never taken the initiative to become enemies with the Zhou family. Why would I want to harm my mother's family? "
The Zhou clansmen all nodded their heads. At this moment, they all felt that it was most likely because Zhou Tianqi's bloodline was trying to stabilize their power that they did those things and brought about a great calamity to the clan.
Zhou Changjuan took the lead and respectfully said, "Su Qingxue, it is the will of the Patriarch. From today onwards, we, the descendants of the four bloodlines, are willing to fully support the Patriarch and revitalize the Xuanming family!"
When the other branches heard this, they secretly cursed this ancestor for being shameless and flattering him so quickly. Thus, they quickly rushed to call out the Patriarch.
However, Su Qian Xing and the other elders of the Su family all had complicated expressions on their faces. It was as if they were going to give half of the treasures that originally belonged to them to someone else. It was always uncomfortable.
Moreover, compared to the Zhou family, the number of people in the Su family was still too small. At this moment, it seemed even more deserted.
Qingxue turned her head and extended her hand with a smile, "Great Elder, please come over."
