C32 Counterattack

Yu Family, in the Great Assembly Hall!

Hearing the grand elder's three suggestions, the eight inner sect elders and the twenty odd outer sect elders' faces changed.

However, the elders that belonged to the Grand Elder's faction revealed joyous expressions.

As for the Elders that belonged to the Ninth Elder's faction, their faces were gloomy.

Unexpectedly, Yu Haoran also did not expect that the Great Clan Elder would actually use this move.

According to the memories of his previous life, one year after he left the clan, Yu Hongyang broke through to the fifth rank of the Martial Master realm and accumulated enough contributions to be able to ascend to the position of clan leader with the strong support of the Great Elder and the other inner clan elders.

However, his sudden counterattack today was outside of the Great Elder's expectations. It had instead caused this matter to break out prematurely.

After he understood all of this, Yu Hao's mood instantly relaxed. At the same time, his gaze towards the Great Elder revealed a trace of disdain.

Dream on! If you want your son to sit on the throne of the clan leader!

"Grand Elder, are you in too much of a hurry to elect the Patriarch?"

Patriarch Nine did not immediately refute the grand elder's suggestion. Instead, he thought about the reason for his actions, and the advantages and disadvantages of electing the patriarch ahead of time.

Therefore, as the vanguard of Patriarch Nine's side, Patriarch Four first put forward different opinions.

"Fourth elder, recommending the patriarch right now is not only a matter of urgency, but also a matter of urgency. Otherwise, some of the small ants will use the patriarch as an example." Giving Yu Haoran a cold glance, the Great Clan Elder taunted.

In regards to the Great Clan Elder's ridicule, Yu Haoran, whose face was as thick as a city's walls, did not care in the slightest.

Of course, it didn't matter if he didn't care. What he needed to do now was to stop the Great Elder, so he took the initiative to speak up.

"Ninth Elder, as far as I know, if there is an accident with the family head and no new family head is appointed, then the family head position will be decided by the successor and the five or more clan elders participating in the competition, right?"

Yu Haoran's words caused the originally gloomy Ninth Elder's eyes to light up, and he immediately understood what he was planning.

On the other hand, the expression of the Great Elder's faction changed.

They were aware of the clan rules, but they did not expect Yu Haoran to have such a thick skin, to have such bold actions, and actually dare to participate in the race to become a clan leader at the age of sixteen, with the cultivation of a Martial Disciple.

Following which, the Great Elder's faction became nervous again.

Although Yu Haoran looked young and his cultivation was low, he had the qualifications to not lose to Hong Yang.

He had just become an adult only a little more than a month ago. Without any cultivation resources and under the watch of everyone, not only did he break through into the Fourth Rank of the Martial Disciple Realm, he was able to kill Wang Ru who was at the peak of the Fourth Rank of the Martial Disciple Realm easily, and defeat He Zhiqiang, who was at the Fifth Rank of the Martial Disciple Realm.

Just this point alone was enough to prove the strength of his innate talent, and it had already far surpassed that of his father, Yu Hongzhi.

Judging from how he had turned the tables on the heroes and revealed his deep scheming, he was not one bit inferior to the old foxes present.

Thus, since he was participating in the Patriarch's Competition, he would definitely pose a huge threat to Hong Yang. He might even be able to turn the tables on him in the end.

"Yu Haoran, this means that you also want to participate in the Patriarch's election?" Patriarch Nine, who had always been serious, said with a warm expression.

"Born as a member of the family, die as a ghost. I am willing to give my all for the prosperity of the Yu Family, for the 100 generations of the Yu Family's inheritance!" Yu Haoran shamelessly fanned them.

However, his extremely emotional words had moved Patriarch Nine and the others. It had also made the Sixth Elder, who had always been neutral, look forward to it.

As far as the Sixth Elder was concerned, no matter if it was Yu Hongyang who became the Clan Chief, or Yu Haoran who became the Clan Chief, as long as he could lead a strong Yu Family, he was willing to fully support him.

It was just that, from the looks of it, Yu Haoran was younger than Yu Hongyang and his cultivation was lower. He seemed to be more suitable to be clan leader in various aspects than Yu Hongyang.

Seeing the thoughtful look on everyone's faces, especially the Sixth Elder who was originally neutral, the Great Elder knew that his plan had gone awry.

Because he never thought that Yu Haoran would actually be so shameless to go participate in the Patriarch's election, he knew that he had to stop the situation right now. Otherwise, the cunning Yu Haoran really might take the chance to go up and become the Patriarch.

He gave a look to the furious Third Elder.

After that, the Third Elder fiercely slapped the armrest and sarcastically said with an extremely disdainful and disdainful tone: "If you allow Yu Haoran to participate in the Patriarch's election, I think you should just directly solve it for Yu Family, and then everyone will have to go their separate ways!"

"Third Elder, what do you mean?"

Ninth Elder and the others who were extremely moved by Yu Haoran's sudden request to run for the position of Patriarch, after hearing the Third Elder's mocking, immediately felt discontent in their hearts.

Patriarch Nine, who had been reluctant to start a war, scolded in a low voice.

As a vanguard of the Great Elder, how could the Third Elder, who was not even afraid of the previous Yu Hongzhi, obediently shut his mouth for the sake of the Ninth Elder's scolding?

"Ever since our ancestor established the Yu Family 500 years ago, every clan leader was no less than forty years old. Every clan leader was no less than a sixth grade Martial Master." First, he moved out of Yu Family's usual practice, the Third Elder said with a mocking expression on his face as he pointed at Yu Haoran.

"Look at the person in front of you. I'm afraid he hasn't even grown any hair yet. What qualifications does he have to take on the responsibility of leading the clan to develop and become more powerful?"

"Ha ha!" In the face of the Third Elder's mockery, although Yu Haoran was inwardly very angry, his expression did not show it as he chuckled twice.

"As the saying goes, 'ambitious' does not mean that you will live to see the light of day. I, Yu Haoran, have not grown all my hair, so how would you, the Third Elder, know!?"

"Ha ha!"

"Hehe!"

Yu Haoran's self-deprecating counterattack made all the elders in the hall unable to hold back their laughter.

After everyone laughed, Yu Haoran continued: "According to what the Third Elder said just now, the patriarch of Yu Family is someone who is older, only those with higher cultivation can shoulder the responsibility. Then, among everyone present, it seems that only the Great Clan Elder and the Ninth Clan Elder have the qualifications to run for the position of patriarch."

"This!" Facing Yu Haoran's powerful counterattack, the Third Elder was suddenly at a loss for words.

He knew that the grand elder's plan was to make Yu Hongyang the Patriarch.

If he agreed to Yu Haoran's words just now, wouldn't that mean that he had pushed the Great Clan Elder to the front lines? Moreover, in terms of cultivation level and strength, the Great Clan Elder might not be a match for the Ninth Elder.

"Yu Haoran, according to the clan rules, the inner sect elders of Yu Family do not have the qualifications to participate in the competition. This is to provide the clan members with the motivation to compete, and also to prevent the clan elders from gaining too much authority and causing unnecessary trouble." Without waiting for the elder, the Third Elder, and the others to retort, Patriarch Nine took the initiative to stand out and oppose them.

Other than the few old men in the clan who did not bother to help, the Ninth Elder was more or less the strongest warrior in the Yu Family, and he was only forty years old this year.

The reason he was able to achieve such an achievement at the age of forty was not only because his innate talent was not bad, but he was also because he was not interested in the struggle for power and was willing to spend more time on cultivation. Furthermore, his wish in this lifetime was to break through his Martial Master and explore the outside world.

Therefore, how could he be willing to run for the position of the clan leader, which would take a lot of effort and delay one's cultivation?
