Chu Xingtian suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Chu Wuqing. "Do you know where you are? How can you make such a ruckus?!"
Faced with Chu Xingtian's reprimand, Chu Wuqing suddenly stopped laughing. He looked coldly at Chu Xingtian and said, "What … could it be that you want to punish me?"
Hmph …
With a cold snort, Chu Xingtian said loudly, "A country has its laws and a clan has its rules. Even if you're the ancestor, you can't break the rules!"
Break the rules?
With a cold snort, Chu Wuqing looked around and said in a low voice, "Now … among us, there's a traitor. Now … everyone, choose a side!"
After giving everyone some time to think, Chu Wuqing continued, "Those who support me and want to follow me, come … stand behind me."
After a pause, Chu Wuqing said coldly, "Those who support Chu Xingtian and want to follow him to the end, stand behind him!"
Faced with Chu Wuqing's aggressive attitude, the hundreds of elders immediately panicked.
For a moment, no one knew how to choose.
Faced with this, Chu Wuqing said even more cruelly, "I don't have much patience. I'll only give you ten breaths of time. Ten … nine … eight …"
Hearing Chu Wuqing's desperate countdown, many people remained where they were, not knowing what to do.
As for the other group of people, they were split into two groups. One group walked behind Chu Wuqing, and only a very small number of people walked behind Chu Xingtian.
Four … three … two … one …
Finally, Chu Wuqing's countdown came to an end.
Looking around, among the hundreds of elders, there were more than forty standing behind Chu Wuqing.
And there were only thirteen people standing behind Chu Xingtian!
The remaining fifty or so people remained in their seats. They didn't know where to go or who to support.
Seeing this scene, Chu Wuqing couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Everything was exactly as his father, Chu Xingyun, had predicted.
Chu Xingyun didn't believe that Chu Xingtian could subdue all the elders of the Great Chu royalty so quickly.
Not to mention Chu Xingtian, even Chu Xingyun would not be able to accomplish such a feat.
One had to know that these elders were all chosen by Chu Wuqing. They were all his children and grandchildren. He had even watched them grow up and taught and nurtured them.
Chu Xingyun didn't believe that Chu Wuqing's hundred years of hard work would be completely overturned in two or three years by a brat like Chu Xingtian. He definitely didn't have this ability.
The facts proved that Chu Xingyun's judgment was correct. About forty percent of the elders firmly supported him.
There were only thirteen people who truly supported Chu Xingtian.
As for the remaining fifty or so people, they just went with the flow and didn't have any opinions of their own.
This group of people would support whoever gained power and abandon whoever lost power. They only wanted to benefit from both sides.
In the face of this scene, Chu Wuqing could only smile bitterly.
Just as Chu Xingyun had said, if he wanted to take back everything he had lost, he didn't need strength. He only needed some wisdom, some experience, and some thinking.
Who was Chu Xingtian? What kind of foundation could he have? What kind of background could he have? What did he have that allowed him to topple a hundred-year-old dynasty in an instant?
Most importantly, the elders of this dynasty were all Chu Wuqing's children and grandchildren!
One had to know that the Great Chu royalty hadn't developed to its current scale by relying on Chu Xingyun's ability.
If one really wanted to give credit, eighty percent of the credit would be given to Chu Wuqing.
Chu Wuqing was indeed a heartless person, especially when it came to matters between men and women. He only cared about his own feelings.
It could be said that he loved every woman he saw and married every woman he loved. In a hundred years, he had given birth to more than a thousand children.
It was because of these children that the clan had developed to more than ten million people in a hundred years.
In fact, it wasn't just Chu Wuqing. All of his children and grandchildren were more or less the same.
In general, Chu Wuqing's daughters and granddaughters didn't have much of a problem.
As girls, they had heavy Yin energy. Naturally, they could balance Yin and Yang and control the heat in their hearts.
However, Chu Wuqing's sons were basically the same as him. They weren't people with fixed minds.
Following the trend brought about by Chu Wuqing, all of Chu Wuqing's descendants, although they could not achieve the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards with seventy-two concubines, each of them had three wives and four concubines, with countless concubines.
In the entire Great Chu royalty, the one with the most children and grandchildren wasn't Chu Wuqing.
Chu Wuqing's sixteenth son, Chu Tiankuo … was the one with the most children and grandchildren.
Chu Tiankuo was more than a hundred years old this year. He was only sixteen years younger than Chu Wuqing.
However, Chu Tiankuo had a total of more than thirteen thousand children. In the past hundred years, an average of more than a hundred children were born every year. They were the real studs.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Chu Imperial Family had started to control the population in recent years, otherwise … with the current base, it wouldn't take many years for the Chu Imperial Family to exceed a hundred million, or even a billion, or even ten billion members!
Many people mocked the people of the Great Chu royalty for being lascivious and promiscuous by nature. However, in reality, no one knew that the children and grandchildren of the Great Chu royalty also had their own difficulties.
Chu Wuqing was the son of Chu Xingyun and Nangong Huayan.
Nangong Huayan didn't need to be mentioned. She possessed the ultimate form of the Devouring Flame — Destructive Flames!
As for Chu Xingyun, he was even more troublesome …
At that time, Chu Xingyun wasn't the current willow wood avatar, but his original body.
At that time, Chu Xingyun possessed the Sky-Burning Demon Flame, the Crape Myrtle Heavenly Fire, the ninth-grade Nirvana Sacred Flame, and the Devouring Flame.
This couple possessed four to five types of heaven-defying fire-elemental bloodlines.
These bloodlines were too tyrannical and powerful. As a result … although the Great Chu royalty occasionally had girls born, after so many years, the entire Great Chu royalty's direct bloodline had only given birth to three girls!
The reason why these three girls were girls was because their mothers possessed heaven-defying fire-elemental bloodlines that weren't inferior to these heaven-defying fire-elemental bloodlines.
Other than these three girls, all the children born in the Great Chu royalty were boys. Furthermore, they all possessed terrifying fire-elemental talent.
One had to know that boys were hot-blooded and lustful. Especially when they reached puberty, it was difficult for them to restrain the flames of lust in their hearts.
As for the descendants of the Great Chu royalty, under the stimulation of heaven-defying fire-elemental bloodlines, it was naturally even more difficult for them to control themselves.
It wasn't that their morals were corrupt, but it was purely a strong biological desire that couldn't be restrained.
Chu Xingyun and Nangong Huayan's grandparents both possessed heaven-defying fire-elemental bloodlines. This caused … all their descendants' bloodlines to be extremely difficult to suppress.
Therefore, the descendants of the Great Chu royalty were not only lustful, but they also easily impregnated girls.
Otherwise, how could their clan have developed to ten million people in just a hundred years?
At this very moment … Chu Tiankuo was sitting in his seat. Around him, more than twenty elders were surrounding him. Everything was decided according to his judgment.
