The patriarch boasted of his superiority and didn't even look at Xiao Wangu. He coldly snorted and shouted, "Xiao Wangu, in half a month, my son Xiao Chen will marry the Lin family's girl Lin Shanshan. At that time, I hope you will hand over the rights to the medicine field and iron mine as a congratulatory gift."
The reason why the upper echelons of the family were the upper echelons was that they held great power and resources.
Almost every elder held monstrous power in their hands.
Xiao Wangu's medicine field and iron mine were the foundation of his foothold. Once he handed over these two rights, he would be practically a figurehead.
As long as one was smart, they wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
"Xiao Wannian, I think you're crazy. Do you think this is possible?"
Xiao Wangu strongly counterattacked. His temper was very bad, and he stubbornly retorted.
So what if the other party was the patriarch? Could it be that because the other party was the patriarch, he could act recklessly? Ridiculous, he was still a mere elder with real power. Who would dare to act recklessly?
"Hmm?"
Xiao Wannian questioned and released his majestic cultivation of a Ninth Stage Martial Master. A huge pressure shrouded down, giving a tyrannical deterrence.
"You object? I hope you'll consider it carefully. This is the family's decision. "
His aura became even more oppressive.
Xiao Wangu was not afraid at all. He coldly snorted and also released his Eighth Stage Martial Master pressure. Although it was not as good as the other party, he forced himself to hold on. The other party couldn't do anything to him for a while.
Xiao Wannian was once again puzzled.
According to the information he received, Xiao Wangu came back with serious injuries last night. However, judging from his current state, the other party didn't seem to be injured at all.
He also wanted to seize this opportunity to seize power, but everything that happened was different from what he expected.
Because of the strong pressure released by the two of them, many Xiao family members were alarmed.
In less than a few breaths of time, several strong figures immediately flew over.
Except for the Great Elder and the Second Elder, the others were all strong family members.
"What happened?"
When the First Elder and the Second Elder arrived, they immediately questioned him.
Xiao Wangu smiled coldly and said sarcastically, "As soon as I returned, I was forced to abdicate by Xiao Wannian. He wants me to hand over the rights to the medicine fields and iron mines. Do you think this is a joke?"
The Great Elder and the Second Elder looked at each other. Of course, they hoped that the other party would hand over the authority, but not to the Patriarch.
However, looking at Xiao Wannian's private behavior, it was obvious that he wanted to keep it for himself.
This caused the First Elder and Second Elder to feel dissatisfied.
"Xiao Wannian, even though you are the clan leader, you still have to follow the rules, right? Wouldn't it be a joke if others knew that we were fighting for power among ourselves? "
"You're a dignified Clan Leader, yet you're trying to force him to abdicate? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? Do you have any shame?"
Even the other experts who had followed Xiao Wannian were dissatisfied. Xiao Wannian's table manners were too unsightly.
Xiao Wannian withstood the pressure from everyone and slowly withdrew his pressure. He snorted coldly and said, "I'm just here to visit the Third Elder. This is just a misunderstanding. Let's go."
He turned around, used his movement technique, and instantly left.
After Xiao Wannian left, the others also greeted him symbolically and then left.
However, from their attitude, it could be seen that they looked down on Xiao Wangu and the others.
Xiao Wangu was already used to this. He didn't even bother to smile at them. They would exchange pleasantries, and he would exchange pleasantries. Once they were done with the pleasantries, they would leave.
"Public morals are degenerating day by day. The world is so cold."
He sighed with emotion.
In the past, everyone in the family would fawn over him and show him respect when they saw him.
However, since Xiao Yang's cultivation fell and he was no longer the number one genius of Eastwood Town, those people began to look down on him and didn't take them seriously.
Xiao Wangu's status had risen because of Xiao Yang, the number one genius of Eastwood Town. Now, the situation was that they thought that Xiao Yang had become a good-for-nothing and began to hit him when he was down. They didn't even bother to look at them in the eye.
"Father, don't worry. I will definitely make them look at me in a different light."
Xiao Yang saw that Xiao Wangu was in a bad mood and looked melancholic. He couldn't help but step forward to comfort him.
Xiao Yang had long been used to the power struggles in the family.
However, Xiao Wannian came at the right time. He chose to come when Xiao Wangu was injured. This meant that he knew something.
Xiao Wangu nodded and told Xiao Yang to cultivate well before turning to leave.
Xiao Yang told Xiao Man to take good care of Xiao Wangu before turning to leave.
"There must be something wrong with Xiao Wannian. If father's poison hadn't been removed, he would have succeeded."
Xiao Yang mumbled. After activating his cultivation, he quickly left.
He didn't return to the Poison Pavilion. Instead, he went to the main hall where the Clan Leader lived.
Inside the main hall.
Xiao Wannian was throwing a tantrum.
"Hmph, Xiao Zhongtian, you dare to play with me. Are you tired of living?"
Xiao Zhongtian trembled and knelt on the ground. He didn't dare to move. His face was pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His eyes were filled with fear.
He was facing the Clan Leader. If the Clan Leader wasn't satisfied, he could slap him to death. No one would stand up for him.
"Lord, Lord Clan Leader, I am telling the truth. I did see Third Elder Xiao Wangu return with serious injuries. I am not lying."
Xiao Zhongtian said nervously. He was terrified to the extreme.
At that time, he couldn't sleep so he wandered around. Coincidentally, he saw Xiao Wangu return with serious injuries. At that time, he didn't think much of it. However, when he remembered that Xiao Wangu was Xiao Yang's father, he immediately came up with a vicious plan. He immediately found the Clan Leader and told him the news.
Then, the Clan Leader personally came to question him.
Xiao Yang, who was outside the main hall, clearly heard the conversation inside. He finally understood why Xiao Wannian had coincidentally arrived at that time.
"Hmph, I personally went to test you. You still dare to lie. You are courting death."
Xiao Wannian snorted coldly. His murderous aura was released.
He slapped down at Xiao Zhongtian, directly crippling all of Xiao Zhongtian's cultivation.
Xiao Zhongtian screamed and flew out. He slammed into the wall and fainted.
"Pitiful people are more hateful than hateful."
Xiao Yang thought. He didn't have a good impression of Xiao Zhongtian. The other party wanted to frame him from the beginning. Now that he had such a tragic ending, he only had himself to blame.
He used his movement technique and left the place silently.
After all, he was already an alchemist of the Poison Pavilion. Of course, he had to fulfill his duties as an alchemist. This task was very simple. He just had to refine enough pills.
As for the ingredients, they were provided by the Clan. Usually, the Clan would provide two sets of ingredients for each pill. This meant that the alchemist was given two chances to refine pills.
