Chu Zongguang's anger didn't subside just because of what Chu Xiu took out.
He stared at Chu Xiu and roared, "You killed him out of anger, do you know Shen Rong's status in the Shen clan? Now that he is dead, how will the Shen clan deal with our Chu clan? Unfilial son! By doing this, you are putting our Chu clan in an unjust position! "
Chu Xiu secretly frowned, this cheap father of his was a little too arrogant. Even if the Shen clan was strong, there was no need for him to be this afraid, right?
Fortunately, Chu Xiu had already thought of a way to resolve this matter.
Chu Xiu cupped his hands and said, "Don't panic, Lord Father. Although he's dead, it's not like our Chu Clan doesn't have any other plans.
The Shen clan's foundation is stronger than our Chu clan, but not to the extent of crushing us.
The real reason why the Shen clan dominates the Tong Province is because of Shen Bai who has already joined the Azure Water Sword Sect.
The Azure Water Sword Sect may be famous, but our Chu clan might be able to find a backer. "
Chu Zongguang glared at Chu Xiu, "The Azure Water Sword Sect is the number one sect in Wei Prefecture, one of the seven sects and eight schools. Where can our Chu clan find a backer?"
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes, "So what if it is seven sects and eight schools? It is not the Northern and Southern Buddhist Sects, and even if it is, it is not strong enough to dominate the entire pugilistic world.
Our Chu clan cannot find a backer from the pugilistic world, but we can find a backer from the imperial court!
Although Wei County was known as the land of the Northern Yan Kingdom, the truth was that it did not listen to the imperial court of the Northern Yan Kingdom.
If our Chu clan were to side with the Northern Yan imperial court, even though our Chu clan's strength is nothing to the Northern Yan imperial court, but at least we would be considered as a martial arts force that voluntarily submitted to the Northern Yan. We can set an example, and I believe the Northern Yan imperial court will not mistreat us.
With the support of the Northern Yan Imperial Court, the Azure Water Sword Sect wouldn't dare to touch us. "
The elders of the Chu clan glanced at each other. Although Chu Xiu's plan sounded a little exaggerated, it did make sense if they thought about it carefully.
The imperial court of the Northern Yan Kingdom had wanted Wei County for a long time. However, the martial arts world in Wei County was very tough, and the imperial court of the Northern Yan Kingdom did not want to fall out with the martial arts world in Wei County. Hence, they did not use tough methods.
However, the Chu clan was from Eastern Qi, and they didn't have much of a sense of belonging to Wei Prefecture. If they could really get close to the Northern Yan imperial court through this matter, it would definitely be a good thing for the Chu clan.
Chu Xiu was silent on the side. The idea he gave to the Chu family couldn't be considered a bad one, but it could only be said to be half good and half bad.
Siding with the Northern Yan Imperial Court, there was a high possibility that as the first faction to side with the Northern Yan Empire, the Chu clan would receive preferential treatment.
But there was also the possibility that the Chu clan would anger the entire Wei County Martial Arts World and be targeted. It was even possible that they would be torn apart by the Wei County Martial Arts World.
Of course, this was a matter for the future. By that time, it was uncertain whether Chu Xiu would still be in the Chu clan. Whether the Chu clan would be targeted by the Wei County Martial Arts World, what did it have to do with him?
Chu Zongguang's face revealed a gloomy expression. He didn't see the flaws in Chu Xiu's plan, he just didn't want to cause trouble.
After a long while, Chu Zongguang coldly snorted and said, "Chu Xiu, I already said last time that if you cause trouble again, I'll take away all your business and have you reflect on yourself in the ancestral hall. In the end, you turned a deaf ear to my words! This time, you have caused such a huge mess, how you are going to be dealt with depends on the Shen clan. Now, go to the ancestral hall and reflect on yourself! If my Chu clan is targeted by the Shen clan because of you, I will not forgive you! "
As soon as he heard this, there was a trace of coldness in Chu Xiu's eyes. Chu Zongguang's performance was somewhat beyond his expectation. He didn't expect that Chu Zongguang would be so cowardly.
According to the excuse that Chu Xiu used, it was the Shen clan who first blackmailed the Chu clan, so he killed them out of anger. At most, he was a little impulsive, and he had already said the countermeasures in public, but Chu Zongguang was still afraid of conflict with the Shen clan, so he wanted to punish him.
"Someone, take Chu Xiu to the ancestral hall and send someone to guard him. Reflect on yourself!"
Chu Zongguang waved his hand, and two servants came over in embarrassment. They looked at Chu Xiu, hoping that Chu Xiu could cooperate. After all, they were just servants, and they didn't dare to use violence against Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu didn't lose his temper on the spot, but obediently left with the two servants.
To be honest, he had miscalculated this time.
Chu Xiu had always been very calm, even when he wanted to kill Shen Rong. He had thought of a proper excuse and a way to break out of the situation.
However, the only thing that he miscalculated was Chu Zongguang. He really couldn't figure out what his cheap father was thinking. As the head of the clan, he was actually so timid. Only God knew how the Chu clan had gained a foothold in the Tong Zhou Prefecture.
After Chu Xiu was suppressed, the eldest brother Chu Kai, who had been silent in the hall, showed a look of ecstasy, but also a little disbelief.
All along, none of his three younger brothers had been honest, especially recently. Even if Chu Kai was arrogant, he could feel that his position as the successor of the Chu clan was unstable.
As a result, in just a few months, The Fourth Prince Chu Shang was crippled, and then Chu Sheng committed a big mistake and was put in confinement.
And Chu Xiu, who was the biggest threat to him, was now seeking his own death. He actually killed Shen Rong, the Chief Housekeeper of the Shen clan, was deprived of all his power, and was locked in the ancestral hall to reflect on himself. Didn't this mean that the position of the successor was not robbed by him?
When he thought of this, Chu Kai felt a little proud. His three idiot younger brothers had schemed and schemed, but in the end, they had schemed against him. In the end, the position of the successor of the Chu clan was still his!
Chu Zongguang looked gloomy and waved his hand, letting the crowd disperse. He said to Housekeeper Chen, "You go to the Shen clan, humble yourself, and ask them how we can get rid of this matter. My Chu clan absolutely has no intention to have a conflict with the Shen clan."
Housekeeper Chen wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything and could only sigh and leave.
In the Shen clan, because Shen Rong came to see Chu Xiu, he only brought his trusted aide, Wang Er, so no one else knew that Shen Rong had died. It wasn't until Housekeeper Chen came to the Shen clan that everyone in the Shen clan knew that Shen Rong had died. This immediately caused an uproar in the Shen clan, and someone immediately informed Shen Mo who was in seclusion.
Shen Mo wasn't old, only in his early thirties. He had a handsome appearance and didn't look like the head of a clan, but more like a distinguished and elegant young master.
Similar to the Li clan, the Shen clan was also because of the accidental death of the Old Patriarch, and Shen Mo hurriedly took over the position of the Patriarch.
But at that time, because Shen Mo didn't have any prestige, he was almost made a figurehead by the Shen clan's elders. As a result, Shen Mo killed several Shen clan's elders in a fit of rage and declared that as long as his elder brother from the Azure Water Sword Sect was around, the Shen clan wouldn't collapse. As for the rest, it was the same no matter who was missing.
After the storm, Shen Mo used the heads of several elders to establish the position of the Shen clan's Patriarch. It also let everyone in the Tong Province know that although this new Shen clan's Patriarch was young, his ruthlessness and decisiveness far surpassed his father.
Right now, Shen Mo was in seclusion. Ever since he took control of the Shen clan, Shen Mo didn't really care about the Shen clan.
A few years ago, he once followed his elder brother, Shen Bai, to the Azure Water Sword Sect. That experience refreshed Shen Mo's worldview and let him know what a true martial arts sect was. In the eyes of the Azure Water Sword Sect, the Shen clan's assets weren't even worth mentioning.
Since then, Shen Mo began to cultivate in seclusion in order to join the Azure Water Sword Sect. It was a pity that even though he and Shen Bai were blood brothers, their innate talents were too inferior.
Shen Bai's innate talent and perception were top notch, while he, Shen Mo, could only be considered above average.
This kind of innate talent was enough to join the Azure Water Sword Sect. Especially since Shen Bai was the Azure Water Sword Sect Master's last disciple, it wouldn't be a problem to accept him into the Azure Water Sword Sect.
But the problem was that with his strength and innate talent, after joining the Azure Water Sword Sect, he could only be an outer sect disciple.
His elder brother was the Sect Master's direct disciple, while his younger brother was just an ordinary outer sect disciple. This was a face that Shen Mo couldn't afford to lose.
Therefore, he was now using all his time to cultivate in order to join the Azure Water Sword Sect in the future and become an inner sect disciple.
After being woken up from his seclusion, Shen Mo's expression was somewhat unkind. But after the servant informed Shen Mo of Shen Rong's death, his expression immediately turned gloomy.
To be honest, Shen Rong wasn't that important in Shen Mo's heart. Even though he called Shen Rong as Uncle Rong when he was young, but he even dared to kill his own blood related uncles, the Shen clan's elders and other uncles. What was a servant worth?
The reason why he gave Shen Rong such a high status, was because he didn't trust the Shen clan's direct descendants and collateral relatives.
Even though Shen Rong's ability and strength were average, and he was also very greedy, but at least he was loyal enough and knew who gave him his authority. In other words, he, Shen Rong, was just a dog of Shen Mo, not a dog of the Shen clan, but a dog that belonged to him, Shen Mo.
But when beating a dog, one must look at the owner, not to mention that someone actually dared to kill his dog!
