"Alright, alright, alright. I like your personality," Elder Xuan clapped. "Then, should I speak frankly with everyone?"

"I'm all ears!" Fan Bin made a gesture of "press down", indicating for everyone to remain silent.

"First, Fan Mu needs to take the top spot in the entrance examination, and secondly, he needs to accept the challenge from any two participants. If he wins both matches, we will acknowledge his abilities, and according to what you said, he will be the first candidate for the next Patriarch, which will be confirmed by the entire clan." Elder Xuan smiled weirdly, and like a bloodthirsty devil, he gave a sky-high price, "Otherwise, you will lose your position as the Head of the Family and will never be able to participate in the internal affairs of the clan."

"Nonsense!" Old Man Bai reprimanded. Everyone could tell that Elder Xuan had given them an extremely unequal treaty. "Little Bun, reject him. Don't joke with him."

"He won't refuse," Elder Xuan sneered. "The condition that I will exchange is to keep those three matters a secret for you forever. As for what it is, Lord Patriarch is well aware of it."

Fan Bin fell into a long silence.

As for the clansmen who were present, all of them revealed a little bit of doubt. Elder Xuan had suppressed his voice to a very low level when he said the words of secrecy, and only the few people close to him could hear what he said clearly. As a result, they did not know why their clan leader would spend so much time pondering over such an unequal treaty.

Only Fan Bin knew that Patriarch Xuan was doing business on equal footing, and that any of those three matters would bring a devastating blow to the Zong Family. Out of favor with the Zong Family, Patriarch Xuan had kept his mouth shut for so long.

"I can also ignore what you do to me. You know that if you treat the elders like that, you'll be judged by the Elders Pavilion," Elder Xuan said with a cold smile. He was talking about how Fan Bin had used the Body Lock Technique on him.

"Deal," Fan Bin said in a calm tone, making it hard for people to detect the slight fluctuations in his emotions.

"Little Bun Zi, this time you really are ruthless." Old Man Bai gritted his teeth and glared at Elder Xuan.

"Old Bai, don't tell me you want to disobey the Patriarch's orders? I know that you are a man of your word, but please restrain yourself when it comes to matters that are right and wrong. "Elder Xuan enunciated each word clearly in the old man's heart.

"You ?" A surge of vital energy and blood surged to the surface as a frightening aura blossomed beneath Old Man Bai's feet.

"It's over! The White Old Man got angry! " The Yin Master was shocked.

"After all these years, I haven't seen him angry. Once his murderous demonic nature is released, even if the few of us joined forces, we still wouldn't be his match," the Shan family's patriarch said, his heart clenching.

"How could that be? He is only an old man, and I heard that his strength is not even at the level of the Divine King. Old man Shan, you are belittling yourself too much. You and Patriarch Feng are both the Divine King, aren't you?" The Huo Family Patriarch couldn't help but ask.

He's not human, so you can't use a human's rank to restrict him. If he's truly angry, then with his Black Ranked strength from back then, he could raze this place to the ground with ease, "said the Shan Family Patriarch as he clenched his teeth.

"How can this be, the destructive power of Black Rank can actually reach this degree!?" "He's really not a human!?" He and the head of the Huo family had just joined two years ago, so they had no idea about the power of the old man. If they hadn't seen him appear at a few meetings of the elders pavilion, they would have thought that the old man was just an old man that watched the door.

"It's been a long time since he's been angry," the beautiful young woman from the Lin Family said faintly. "Are we going to make a move? Lord Xuan is no match for him. To be honest, ten of him might even be cannon fodder."

"Then what do we do? If we go, won't we be throwing our lives away!?" "We should think about our clansmen. It would be better if we retreat now!"

"For the future of the clan, even if we have to bite the bullet, we still have to do it." The old mountain man clenched his fists, his murky eyes flickering with a fiery light.

The head of the Feng Clan and the head of the Huo Clan both felt their scalp go numb. A sense of responsibility that was imposed on them pressed against their feet, making them unable to step back.

When the other clansmen felt this baleful aura, their hearts palpitated with fear. Some of them even collapsed onto the ground in fright, looking at the furious old man as if he was facing a Taotie who was on the verge of losing control. They opened their bloody mouths, and the world was but a feast for them.

"Stop, Old Bai." Fan Bin placed his hand on Old Man Bai's shoulder and patted his shoulder calmly, "Be a bit more indifferent. We have Fan Mu. These conditions are nothing to him."

A majestic aura emanated from Fan Bin, but it was not oppressive. Instead, it was extremely warm and sunny, giving off a holy feeling that no one could invade.

He did not know why Fan Bin was so stubborn. Step by step, he stepped into the trap of Elder Xuan, even if it was out of trust for Fan Mu, but it was really too much.

Elder Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine if he fought with the white haired old man, but if he sparred with the white haired old man, he really wouldn't want to. He knew in his heart that this old man was not human.

"Fan Mu," the old man shouted.

Fan Mu was surprised. He could hear sadness in her voice. How could this heartless old man express it from the bottom of his heart? It was like the sun rising from the west.

While the patriarchs of the families were discussing amongst themselves with Fan Bin, Fan Mu had been in a trance the entire time, and the abilities that Gern had bestowed upon him were very useful. Listening to the whispers between the young boy and the young girl, he could only hear the faint vibrations of breathing, and his voice slowly grew louder in his inner ears, as he was vaguely aware of the changes that the clan had undergone over the past few years.

At that time, six of the eight elders were no longer in their seats. Only Old Man Bai and Elder Xuan still held the actual power while the rest had been replaced by young men in their twenties.

He felt that he would be thankful if he did not get killed by him. He was an extremely forceful person who would not give up until he had achieved his goal. He had even set aside the Elders Pavilion, covering the sky with one hand. Fortunately, there was a heartless old man in white who had nothing to do, otherwise, it would not be impossible for him to remove the Patriarch at any time.

Fan Mu suddenly felt that the position of the Patriarch wasn't that easy. Perhaps it was as Old Man Bai had said, Fan Bin was like a puppet controlled by the Elders, and the relationship between the two of them was only worth half a cent.

Thinking of this, the grudge in his heart inexplicably melted.
