Shameless Slander
"You've lost!" Chu Xingyun stood with his sword in hand and said word by word clearly.
Apart from his voice, no one else in the ancestral hall said a word.
Everyone was stunned as they recalled the scene from before. It was like a dream, and they couldn't believe it.
Lost. The number one genius of the Chu Clan was actually defeated?
Chu Hai, who possessed the Ghost Demon Wolf, Wu Ling, and whose cultivation had reached the 6th Firmament of Body Tempering Stage, had actually lost to Wu Ling and Chu Xingyun, whose cultivation was far inferior to his?
"As expected of the Young Master. The sword move that he trained bitterly for a few days is indeed powerful. He easily defeated Chu Hai with a single move!" Tiger Chu, who was standing in the crowd, was incomparably excited as he cheered loudly.
However, after hearing Tiger Chu's words, the shock on the crowd's faces became even greater. They even took in a breath of cold air at the same time.
Chu Xingyun's sword move just now had only been trained bitterly for a few days?
In an instant, Chu Hai only felt a burning pain on his face. The trace of hope in the depths of his heart had completely disappeared without a trace.
In the beginning, he had ridiculed Chu Xingyun for being trash and that his cultivation speed was far inferior to his. Then, he had been ruthlessly slapped in the face by Chu Xingyun's cultivation.
After that, he had used the high-grade mortal martial art, Ghost Claw, in his battle with Chu Xingyun. He had wanted to use a domineering and fierce manner to regain his face and make Chu Xingyun pay the price in blood.
In the end, Chu Hai had lost, and lost very decisively. When he saw Chu Xingyun's Wu Ling's Sword, he felt a sense of fear in his heart.
But just now, Tiger Chu had actually said that Chu Xingyun's sword move just now had only been trained for a few days!
This caused the crowd to involuntarily shiver.
Genius, this was a true genius!
Wu Ling was no match for Chu Hai, and his cultivation was no match for Chu Hai, but in the end, he was still able to defeat a strong opponent and obtain victory!
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Feeling the cold gazes of the crowd, Chu Xingyun stood up. As if he had gone mad, he hysterically screamed, "Chu Xingyun, how could a trash like you defeat me, the number one genius? There must be something wrong here!"
Chu Xingyun's eyes turned red. He didn't even notice the blood staining his robes. He only had eyes for Chu Xingyun.
In terms of cultivation, Chu Xingyun was two levels higher than Chu Xingyun.
In terms of Wu Ling, Chu Hai was also two levels higher than Chu Xingyun.
In terms of martial arts, Chu Hai had already practiced Ghost Claw to the point of perfection. When he struck out with his claw, there would be layers upon layers of phantom wolves. He could practically defeat anyone at the same level as him.
Despite having so many advantages, he still lost in the end.
If it was anyone else, they would have gone crazy. They would even begin to doubt themselves and become foolish.
Chu Xingyun was still expressionless. He coldly looked at Chu Hai and said, "The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit. Chu Hai, you have already lost. No matter how unwilling you are to accept it, this is the truth. Moreover, I will give you a word of advice. From today onwards, whenever you see me, you must respectfully address me as Patriarch. You don't have the qualifications to directly address me as Chu Xingyun!"
"You …" Chu Hai was so angry that his entire body trembled. His entire face was distorted because of anger.
Just now, before the fierce battle, Chu Hai had said that if Chu Xingyun could defeat him, then Chu Hai would acknowledge Chu Xingyun as the new Patriarch of the Chu family.
Now, Chu Xingyun had lost. According to his promise, he should respectfully address Chu Xingyun as Patriarch.
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, people on the scene all had a trace of approval in their hearts. The strength, wealth, and courage that Chu Xingyun had shown today were too outstanding. He was indeed qualified to be the new Patriarch of the Chu family.
"Chu Xingyun, even if I am …" Chu Hai stared at Chu Xingyun viciously. Before he could finish his sentence, Chu Pingtian suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of him. He said, "Hai 'er, back off."
"Father!" Chu Hai was filled with unwillingness. However, sensing the coldness in Chu Pingtian's eyes, his heart trembled. He didn't dare to say anything more. He gritted his teeth and backed off.
Chu Pingtian stared at Chu Xingyun. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Chu Xingyun, with your wealth and talent, you are indeed qualified to be the next Patriarch. However, before that, you have to give me your storage ring. Let me check it carefully."
"Storage ring?" Chu Xingyun raised his eyebrow.
Chu Pingtian nodded. He raised his voice on purpose and said, "Everyone knows that Chu Xingyun, you are a complete piece of trash. However, after only a few days, you have become so wealthy. Even your cultivation and capability have become so powerful. You even have a storage ring, which is such an expensive item. It is hard to explain with common sense."
"Everything I have is legitimate. You want to check my storage ring because of what you said? Isn't that a bit too far-fetched?" Chu Xingyun sneered. He looked at Chu Pingtian as if he was looking at an idiot.
Seeing Chu Xingyun's expression, Chu Pingtian wasn't angry. Instead, he was overjoyed.
According to Chu Xingyun's momentum, it was almost certain that he would become the next leader of the family. Even Chu Pingtian would not be able to change the situation.
The reason why he said he wanted to check Chu Xingyun's storage ring was that he wanted to make things difficult for Chu Xingyun. He wanted to see if he could stall for time.
He didn't expect Chu Xingyun to be so resistant.
After thinking for a while, Chu Pingtian came up with a plan. He said, "Chu Xingyun, if you were an ordinary person, I wouldn't care about what you have. However, if you become the Patriarch of the Chu Family, from now on, your every move will represent the Chu Family. As the Head Elder of the Chu Family, I have the right and the obligation to investigate you strictly!"
Speaking of this, Chu Pingtian smiled proudly. He said coldly, "Unless you are hiding something in your storage ring, why are you being so secretive?"
"You are right, Head Elder. I have felt that there is something wrong with Chu Xingyun for a long time. What he did today is different from what he usually does. He might have colluded with someone else to frame the Chu Family!" The Second Elder jumped out at this time. He pointed at Chu Xing Yun's nose and cursed. He was obviously slandering Chu Xing Yun as a sinister and cunning person.
"Slandering me. Shameless. Can you be more shameless?" Chu Xingyun spat out those words coldly. He had never seen such a shameless person. How could he use such an excuse to slander him?
"Chu Xingyun, you know what you did is exposed, but you don't admit your mistake. Instead, you are cursing me. Guards, come and arrest Chu Xingyun. Put him in the dungeon!" Chu Pingtian shouted.
In an instant, a team of guards walked over from the back of the crowd and surrounded Chu Xingyun.
"You want to send the guards to put me in the dungeon just because of what you said, Head Elder? Isn't that too overbearing?" Chu Xingyun glanced at the guards around him and sneered.
Chu Xingyun knew that once he was put in the dungeon, he would lose the right to speak.
By then, Chu Pingtian would be able to accuse him of crimes. Even if Chu Pingtian killed him, no one would know. Chu Pingtian would have complete control of the situation.
"I, Chu Pingtian, am a straightforward person. Everything I do is for the good of the Chu Family. You, on the other hand, are hiding your head and your tail. I have the right to kick you out of the Chu Family for these two reasons."
Chu Pingtian acted like a righteous man. He waved his hand and shouted, "Guards, listen up. Arrest Chu Xingyun!"
