The Xiao family originated from the Kunsang tribe, and originally had five main veins: gold, eyes, feathers, fire, and earth. Unfortunately, an accident happened to the Xiao family three hundred years ago. A genius came out of the side branch, and his strong rise
, which caused the collapse of the Yumu lineage and also led to the decline of the Xiao family.
Today, the Xiao family's four main meridians are gold, fire, earth, and wind.
It has been cloudy for several days, and it finally cleared up today.
Just after noon, the current head of the Xiao family convened the heads of various clans in the clan to discuss matters. Xiao Zhengqiu, who was dressed in purple robe, had just received the notice and rushed towards the meeting hall unhurriedly. The current head of the Xiao family is no longer
It was him. Two years ago, Xiao Jingting, the second eldest son of the Xiao family and the main lineage of the wind system, returned with a peak of immortal martial arts and tried to seize the position of the head of the family.
Regarding Xiao Jingting's cruelty, Xiao Zhengqiu knew that if he went against him, his life would be at risk. After weighing the pros and cons, he had to take the initiative to give up his position as the head of the family to prevent the other party from using this as an excuse to deal with him.
In the past two years, he has put aside everything and focused solely on cultivation. Unexpectedly, his stagnant cultivation has once again achieved a breakthrough. He has now reached the peak of his domain and has faintly touched the barrier of Xianwu. In recent times,
He paid no attention to anything and hid in the secret room all day long to practice, hoping to break through to the realm of immortal martial arts as soon as possible.
Except when Xiao Jingting came to see him when the head of the family was handed over, he seemed to have completely forgotten about him in the past two years. I don't know why he was called here today. Could it be that something happened to the family?
Could the accident happen?
As soon as he stepped into the meeting hall, Xiao Zhengqiu felt that today was unusual. Looking at everyone sitting there, he frowned. He found that not only the leaders of their four main lines had arrived, but also the side branches who were quite important in the family.
Everyone was present. Everyone sat around the long square table, frowning, looking worried. In the past two years, the power of the Xiao family has been reshuffled. His lineage is a little better, after all, he controls Xiao
The family has been entrenched for decades and is not easy to eliminate. Except for those who have taken refuge in the wind lineage, the other two main lines and side branches are not so lucky, and are basically being squeezed out of the family's core layer.
Xiao Zhengqiu sneered in his heart, ostracizing his clansmen in this way will only cause complaints, and sooner or later he will suffer the consequences. I wonder why he called the leaders of each clan here? Isn't it because he wants to operate on his flame vein? Thinking of this,
A sneer appeared on Xiao Zhengqiu's face, and he calmly sat down in his seat.
As soon as he sat down, a strong old man next to him with a somewhat rough face came forward and said in a loud voice: "Brother, do you know what Mr. Xiao wants to do when he summons us?"
There are twelve direct members of Xiao Zhengqiu's generation in the Xiao family. He is the master of the Yan vein, ranking first; and Xiao Jingting is the former master of the Feng vein, ranking second. The old man who just spoke belongs to the gold vein.
The leader of the group - Xiao Tingwei, ranked fifth, has a fiery personality and is irritable. He has always had a good relationship with the flame lineage. He once strongly opposed the wind lineage's return to power. However, his skills were not as good as others, and his cultivation level stayed at the broken level.
Having been in the peak of calamity for many years, he had no choice but to watch Xiao Jingting control the family power.
Xiao Zhengqiu shook his head and said calmly: "In the past two years, I have stopped asking about family affairs. How can I know what the head of the family wants to do?"
Xiao Tingwei snorted, his eyes flashed with cold light, he glanced at the current master of the style in the meeting hall, and said with a sullen face: "It's true, brother, you didn't resist when he wanted to usurp the throne, and we were caught off guard. Humph! Now we Xiao
Their style is the main culprit for the decline of the family and they bear unshirkable responsibility. Now that they are in power, the future of the Yujing Xiao family is worrying."
Xiao Zhengqiu sighed helplessly and said with some bitterness: "What can I do? He is Xianwu. If he comes to seize power by force, with his ruthlessness, do you think he can let us go? It's better to withdraw voluntarily, so as not to
Repeat the overturn of the feather and eye veins."
Xiao Ying, the master of the wind channel with a feminine temperament, who is in the main position, heard the conversation between the two, his eyes were full of contempt and disdain. He looked to be nearly sixty years old, giving people a gloomy feeling. He looked at
Looking at Xiao Tingwei, he laughed and said: "You are such a loser, but you also want to go against my elder brother? Huh! You simply don't know the heights of the world."
"you!"
Xiao Tingwei's eyes flashed fiercely, he stood up and slapped the case, glaring at him with murderous intent.
"What, you are not convinced? Hehehehe! For Xianwu, you are not even worthy of carrying shoes."
Xiao Ying's eyes were cold, a fierce expression flashed, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Faced with Xiao Ying's provocation, Xiao Tingwei was filled with anger. He pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand and wanted to draw the sword and strike angrily, killing this hateful-looking guy alive. Seeing Xiao Tingwei's strong reaction, the man on the other side of him
Xiao Huaien, the master of the earth veins, was startled. He quickly pressed him down and comforted him: "Lao Wu! Calm down a little, don't be as knowledgeable as this guy."
"I……"
As soon as Xiao Tingwei opened his mouth, he heard a cold snort. In an instant, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Stars appeared in his eyes, his brain was dizzy, his chest was tight, and his blood was surging. He groaned "Ah" and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Xiao Tingwei's expression changed horribly. If
If Xiao Huaien hadn't been holding him up, he might have collapsed to the ground.
This sudden change made all the people in charge startled. They all looked at the door, and saw a middle-aged man in black robes stepping in with an imposing manner. His eyes were like swords, his face was resolute and handsome, and he had a terrifying aura.
The breath came out of his body and instantly filled the entire meeting hall. As his eyes swept across, everyone in the hall felt as if they were standing still, their breathing was suffocated, and even their thinking seemed to have stopped.
"Hmph! How can we use weapons at will in the meeting hall?"
Facing the middle-aged man's gaze, everyone in the meeting hall did not dare to express their anger, and did not even have the courage to take a look. Xiao Ying smiled contemptuously, bowed and said respectfully: "Master."
This middle-aged man is Xiao Jingting, the current head of the Xiao family, whose cultivation has reached the peak of immortal martial arts. Compared with the clan members in the hall who have not even reached the immortal realm, he has a look-down mentality. He looks at himself.
Brother, he just nodded, his expression very indifferent.
Sitting on the position of the head of the family, Xiao Jingting swept away the silent heads of each lineage and said with some sadness: "I recently learned about the cultivation of the younger generation in the family. The one who is known as the number one among the younger generation.
Xiao Ce's cultivation is actually only at the innate level, and his bloodline has not yet awakened at the age of twenty-six or seven. Others are even worse. This current situation is extremely disappointing and heartbreaking. When we, the ancestors of the Xiao family, left
Kunsang Holy Land was so powerful back then, but it has declined to this point just a few hundred years ago."
"This is a shame! As a powerful Kunsang clan, we, who have inherited the blood of saints, are so big that the Xiao family doesn't even have an immortal martial artist. What's the reason? Huh! All of this is caused by you.
.As the masters of each lineage, how do you teach the younger generations? After so many years, there is not even a bloodline awakener among the younger generation. You must know that the younger generation is the future of the Xiao family and the hope of the Xiao family. This is always the case.
If the Xiao family is so big, it will have to be swallowed up by other forces."
After hearing his words, most of the people present bowed their heads and remained silent, as if they were ashamed to face the family leader's question. However, most of them were sneering in their hearts. The main culprit for why the Xiao family has become like this is your wind lineage. Three hundred
In the battle a year ago, it was because of your wind lineage that the masters of the family suffered heavy losses, yet they actually had the nerve to speak out.
A disdainful sneer appeared on Xiao Tingwei's pale face, and he said fearlessly: "We all know why the Xiao family has declined and who is the culprit. There is no need to blame others. As for the training of the younger generation,
The question is, everyone here has a responsibility, I wonder if the family head can solve the decline and get the Xiao family back on its feet?"
Xiao Jingting's eyes turned cold, and a murderous intention shone on Xiao Tingwei. When the other party's expression changed, he smiled coldly: "Facing this situation, the reform of the family is imperative. The first thing to be reformed is the promotion of the family.
system, the previous promotion system had big problems and was completely unsuitable for the current situation. The tests for teenagers currently conducted by families are very good, but they are not perfect and thorough enough. This reform combines the tests with the promotion system, and the target
It’s no longer just the young generation, it will be extended to the entire family.”
"From now on, any clan member who cannot break through to the innate realm before the age of twenty will be eliminated from the direct lineage members; anyone who cannot awaken the bloodline before the age of thirty will be disqualified from the inheritance of the clan leader; for the sake of the purity of the family's bloodline, young people
The marriage of a generation is very important. At the same time, in order to prevent the drain of talents, all talented women are not allowed to marry outside. In the future, only clan members who have reached the realm of breaking through the tribulation can serve as family elders. In the future, outer sects will be established.
The elders, as well as the inner sect elders, the outer sect elders need to reach the realm of breaking the tribulation, and the inner sect elders must reach the immortal martial realm before they can serve."
After hearing the last point, everyone present changed their expressions. The status of family elders is very special and they are the core members of the family. Only those who have reached the level of breaking through the tribulation can serve as elders. I am afraid that more than half of the elders of the entire Xiao family will lose their qualifications as elders.
.This policy is nothing to a strong branch, but compared to a weak branch, they don’t even have a warrior who has broken through the tribulation realm, and have lost their identity as an elder. From now on, the branch they belong to
Will be marginalized and stay away from the core of the family.
The Lord of Eyes and Meridians, dressed in green clothes, stood up suddenly. He was strong and handsome, with a handsome face. He glared at Xiao Jingting angrily, with a little green light flashing in his eyes, and said with an angry smile: "I oppose this decision!"
Someone started, and several people agreed. Xiao Jingting's eyes swept over, and everyone felt that the air in the room suddenly became heavy, as if a thousand pounds of force were pressing on their bodies, their chests were tight, and their breathing was suffocated. Xiao Jingting snorted coldly.
Ran smiled and said: "You have to understand the current situation. I am not negotiating with you, but an order. You must execute it unconditionally. This time we will conduct a test for the entire clan. If anyone dares to oppose or violates the rules, they will be expelled at the risk of being expelled."
If you are a family member, you will be punished as a traitor."
Looking at the people who dared to be angry but dared not speak, Xiao Jingting felt very happy and smiled happily: "You don't need to worry, as long as it is a real talent, the family will do its best to cultivate it and will never let it be harmed at all.
Haha! In fact, our Xiao family still has some geniuses. Just like my granddaughter Xiao Xin, she is only in her early twenties. Not only has her bloodline been awakened, but her cultivation has also reached the peak of Nirvana. From this point of view, there is hope for the revival of our Xiao family.
ah."
Xiao Ying on the side suddenly frowned and sighed: "But that day, the young master of the Wolf Sect had already fallen in love with Xiao Xin and announced that he would marry Xiao Xin. What should we do? He was only in his early twenties, and his cultivation level had already reached
At the top of Nirvana, if nothing unexpected happens, there is a chance of breaking through the Immortal Martial Arts. If she is married off, the Xiao family will suffer great losses."
Xiao Zhengqiu was suddenly enlightened and worked for a long time. The goal is this. High! It's really a feat. He sneered in his heart, but said with worry on his face: "The cultivation level of Wu Que, the leader of the Tianlang Sect, has reached the peak of the virtual realm.
After many years, if we rashly refuse to marry, our Xiao family cannot bear the consequences, and the head of the family should think twice before doing so."
Glancing at him, Xiao Jingting twitched the corner of his mouth, gave a meaningful sneer, and said with great certainty: "Wu Que is originally from the Wu family, one of the four major families. It is said that the young master of the Tianlang Sect, Wu Yong, is Wu Yong.
The heir to the next generation of the family. Xin'er is the first of the younger generation of the Xiao family and the best candidate to inherit the position of head of the family. Their desire to marry Xin'er is simply to annex the Xiao family. How can we fulfill their wish.
What's more, the Kunsang Clan is stronger than the Tianlang Sect, and they don't dare to mess around."
"If the Tianlang Sect becomes angry from shame, they can just send someone at will to destroy the Xiao family. No matter how strong the Kunsang clan is, water from afar cannot save a fire from afar. The family leader should think twice before doing anything and not destroying just one person.
The whole Xiao family." Xiao Tingwei looked gloating.
Xiao Jingting suddenly smiled brightly and said very proudly: "There is no need to worry at all. Yesterday, the young prince of Prince Xin's Palace came to propose marriage, and I agreed on the spot. Haha! It is well known that Prince Xin's Palace is the number one force in Yujing. As long as
If we can get their support, even if Wu Que from the Tianlang Sect wants to move us, we will still have to consider it."
"The young prince of Prince Xinqin's palace? Well, this man is in his late twenties, and he can be considered a famous figure in Yujing. He has been famous for his pedophilia for a long time. Who is he proposing to marry?" Xiao Zhengqiu's heart skipped a beat and he said with a gloomy face.
"Haha! Congratulations to my eldest brother. The young prince said that he was so shocked when he saw your granddaughter yesterday that he personally came to the house to propose marriage last night. Oh! I am so touched. The young prince has such a noble status and is so grateful to my eldest brother.
My granddaughter is so obsessed with me. It would be great if I could have such a granddaughter. Now I have climbed the big tree of Prince Xin's Mansion."
"Who is my granddaughter?" Xiao Zhengqiu's expression changed dramatically.
"Xiao Ruyue."
"What?" Xiao Zhengqiu stood up suddenly, glared at Xiao Jingting, and shouted categorically: "I object! That child is only twelve years old, how can she marry that little prince, that beast? It will ruin her life."
Xiao Jingting's face darkened, and he said in a bone-chilling voice: "The rice has become cooking, and it is too late to object now. How can the Xiao family bear Prince Xin's anger? She is lucky to marry the young prince. Huh!"
As a child of the Xiao family, you must have the consciousness to sacrifice for the family. As the eldest son, your eldest son actually ignores the family’s kindness in cultivating him and dreams of being independent. Huh! Now it’s up to his daughter to repay what he has done.
Oweed."
Xiao Zhengqiu's face was full of anger, and he wished he could choose someone to devour, but he couldn't stop sneering in his heart. Brother, you dug your own grave, and your position as the head of the family is over. It's not good to offend anyone, but you want to offend Farewell and his wife.
Zhan Wan'er. Farewell reached the Immortal Martial Arts eight years ago. It is said that since then, his cultivation has made rapid progress. He entered the Immortal Realm a year ago and is not much worse than you now.
, as long as he adds his wife, hehe... When the time comes, will you be able to win one against two?
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhengqiu walked away with an angry look on his face, leaving a room full of people looking at each other. Looking at each other, Xiao Tingwei and Xiao Huaien both had sneers on their faces. Since the eldest brother became the head of the family, Xiao Laoer went
Kunsang clan, Fengmai has also kept a low profile, and is not very clear about what is happening in the clan. How can the eldest brother's eldest son and daughter-in-law be so easy to mess with? They are all in a fairyland. Regardless of whether this marriage is successful or not, the Xiao family
It looks like there's going to be a big mess.
The two of them had gloating expressions on their faces, and ignored Xiao Jingting, who was sitting in the position of the head of the family, and chased Xiao Zhengqiu away.
Xiao Jingting's face darkened, his eyes flashed with cold light, he moved his hands, and immediately closed his eyes tightly. He had a bad feeling in his heart, it seemed that this matter would be beyond his control.
