In Xuemang Mountain, Dongfang Cang once again stood in the ancestral temple of his clan, looking at the tablets of his ancestors, feeling filled with emotion.
"In half a month, the family meeting will be held. This time, the Twelve Gangs will have to abdicate me!" Dongfang Cang muttered to himself and shook his head: "I never expected that my blood clan would actually have someone like me.
On this day when roommates are at war with each other, oh, my ancestors, what should I do now?"
Dongfang Cang was an outstanding figure of his generation, and his half-celestial realm allowed him to stand out among the heroes in the mortal world. However, he was born at the wrong time, and internal and external troubles came one after another, which made him exhausted physically and mentally. He had long wanted to abdicate. Unfortunately, his children and grandchildren did not live up to the expectations.
One is worthy of such a great responsibility.
The two sons have only just emerged from the mortal realm. There are close to ten people of the same age among the twelve tribes who have reached the spiritual realm. If they are really allowed to take over as the clan leaders, they will not be able to convince the public at all.
In fact, it is not unacceptable for Dongfang Cang to really abdicate the position of clan leader and give up the position of clan leader to the branch clan, but the prerequisite is that the successor to the clan leader must sincerely want to strengthen the blood clan, rather than just coveting what the position of clan leader can bring.
There are endless benefits.
However, judging from the current situation, the clan leader of the branch clan did not hesitate to collude with other clans in order to become the clan leader. If such a person really became the clan leader, I am afraid that the vampire clan would not exist for long.
Outside the ancestral temple, two red figures suddenly appeared, kneeling on the ground quietly, not daring to make a sound, but Dongfang Cang knew of their arrival and sighed: "Blood Da, Blood II, what's the matter?
?”
The two men raised their heads, their old faces full of resentment and said: "Clan leader, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi have left!"
"What!"
Dongfang Cang suddenly turned around, and each of his eyes shot out a bolt of lightning, which actually pierced the ground paved with bluestone slabs.
Blood Nine and Blood Ten, as two of the Twelve Iron-Blooded Guards, are responsible for inquiring about information from all sources. Last time they were sent by Dongfang Cang to find out which clan leaders were colluding with the other three clans. Now they are dead. This makes Dongfang Cang
There was also boundless rage in my heart.
"Who did it?"
"The corpse has been changed beyond recognition. It is impossible to tell who did it. However, the clan leader, Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi, are naturally smart and good at hiding. Except for members of the clan, it is difficult for others to catch their whereabouts."
Although the Twelve Iron-Blooded Guards are not siblings, they have become sympathizing with each other after many years of getting along. They are divided into different sizes according to their age. Xue Da and Xue Er are the eldest. They regard the other ten as their biological brothers or even sons.
Let's look at it, now that the nine-blooded and ten-blooded people have been killed, they are naturally furious.
According to their analysis, since Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi were going to investigate the clan leaders, the murderers were most likely to be those clan leaders.
Although Dongfang Cang also had the same guess, there was no real evidence for it, and the family meeting was about to be held. If he really provoked Twelve Gang to question him at this time, the consequences would be even more serious.
"Don't worry, Xue Da, Xue Er, I will definitely avenge Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi, but everything will have to wait until the family meeting is held. Now you call all the iron guards back, and then escort Ran'er and the others away, find Dai'er
, wait until the conference is over to find out the situation and then come back.”
As soon as he said these words, Blood Big and Blood Two suddenly raised their heads again, and six more men in red appeared around like ghosts. They were the Twelve Iron-Blooded Guards. Except for Blood Three and Blood Four who had gone out to do things but had not returned,
The others always hide and protect Dongfang Cang.
They have followed Dongfang Cang for so many years, how could they not know what he meant!
After sending the young master and the others away, and then coming back after the family meeting was held to find out the situation, Dongfang Cang was clearly asking them to be alone, and was preparing to fight against the twelve branch chiefs and the masters of the other three clans on his own.
Eight people knelt on the ground at the same time and said in unison: "Patriarch, my subordinates are willing to live and die with the patriarch!"
Although Dongfang Cang's face was calm, his eyes were also filled with excitement. His eyes passed over these loyal iron guards who had followed him for at least a hundred years one by one, and he said in a deep voice: "I accept your thoughts.
However, do you want to watch my blood clan become extinct?"
Although the eight people had thousands of words in their hearts, they could not speak to argue at this time because what Dongfang Cang said was the truth.
Unless Dongfang Cang is immortal, if anything happens to him, the other Twelve Gangs will definitely hunt down his descendants, and the main clan must be completely exterminated.
Even Dongfang Cang's eldest son Dongfang Ran is only in the realm of the ninth level of the world, let alone others. Not to mention the masters of the Twelve Gangs, even the masters of other races can easily kill them.
Therefore, Dongfang Cang must let the remaining ten iron-blooded guards follow them to protect them.
Dongfang Cang stepped in front of everyone, stretched out his hands, and helped everyone up one by one, saying: "Now, among the thousands of people in the Blood Clan, the only ones I can trust are you ten, so I can only ask you
You, try your best to protect their safety!"
"Clan leader!"
Even though the Twelve Iron-Blooded Guards are all battle-hardened, they are all excited at this moment and their hearts are blocked. After shouting "Clan Leader", they can no longer say anything else.
Dongfang Cang suddenly smiled proudly and said: "Besides, do you think I will definitely lose? I am still in the realm of a semi-celestial being. Anyone who wants to deal with me, no matter who he is, even if he is a heavenly being, must pay accordingly."
The price, through this opportunity, maybe I can completely solve the internal problems, reorganize the blood clan, and return to glory. After everything is resolved, we will get together again. Everyone, let's go, I won't send you away!"
As soon as the words fell, Dongfang Cang took long strides and walked slowly in front of everyone. Although his back was turned to everyone and he was as calm as a mountain, his heart was trembling slightly and he could not calm down.
Although he said he was full of confidence, they were just words of relief. As far as he knew, at least two clan leaders among the Twelve Gangs had reached the semi-celestial realm, and these two people were also the main force against him. In addition,
Experts from the human race, the royal family, and the beast race are assisting him. Unless a miracle happens, he is destined to die.
The day the family meeting was held was also the day Dongfang Cang died!
The Ten Iron-blooded Guards don't know this, but orders are more important than anything else. They shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the descendants of the clan leader. Even if they want to accompany the clan leader to death in battle, they cannot help themselves.
Seeing Dongfang Cang's tall but lonely figure gradually go away, everyone turned over and knelt down again, bowing deeply. Although no one spoke, they fully revealed their loyalty.
