"In your dreams, I don't agree."
A voice sounded. Everyone saw two figures float by.
It attracted the gazes of all the elders towards the source of the voice. The elders saw a slovenly man following beside the patriarch. This man looked to be in his sixties, younger than even the grand elder.
The clan leader had disappeared for a long time. There was not a single trace of the clan leader in the entire Su Clan. Yet, the clan leader actually appeared from behind them. Could it be that the clan leader was able to go to heaven and land?
"Patriarch."
Su Hongyi said aggressively, "The Mayor has sealed a large portion of the Su Family's property. I have discussed it with the various elders and have decided that we hope that the Patriarch can marry the City Lord. It might not be a bad thing for the Eldest Miss to marry the City Lord's Su Family, and the City Lord is the Young Master of Danzhou City's Lu Family.
Su Zhan did not directly answer Su Hong Yi, he turned and spoke to the clan elders: "The Great Clan Elder's words are your own, do you all want to be like the Great Clan Elder and force me to castrate you?"
"Patriarch ?"
The Third Elder said in panic.
No one can force my daughter. The words of a manly man, the spilled water, since I have rejected the mayor, I will definitely not change my mind. He wants to marry my daughter! Su Zhan's attitude was extremely unyielding, causing the elders to be embarrassed.
"This is not up to you. I advise clan leader to hand over little sister Su, otherwise, your clan leader position will not be stable."
"Presumptuous ?"
"Unfilial son ?"
Su Zhan spoke in defense of the Patriarch's authority.
Spirit Radiance Grandmaster was so angry that he couldn't breathe properly, his messy beard swayed left and right.
"Spirit Radiance Grandmaster, your nephew requests you to take charge of the overall situation," Su Zhan bowed and saluted before pushing the door open for the Spirit Radiance Grandmaster to take care of the Great Clan Elder.
"Haha ?"
"Patriarch, are you crazy or something? My father has already been dead for more than thirty years, and you just need to find a slovenly old man to say that he is my father. Forget about his physique, he really does look a little like my father, but it's a pity that he's too slovenly." Su Hong Yi reached out and grabbed Spirit Radiance Grandmaster's beard, wanting to use his hand to touch Spirit Radiance Grandmaster's face.
"Scram ?"
Spirit Radiance Grandmaster waved his hand and sent the Great Clan Elder flying ten meters away.
"Lil 'Six, this unfilial son doesn't know me. Come here and tell him who I am."
Third Elder's soul is trembling. No one has dared to call Lil 'Six for decades. Could it be that elder brother Linghui is still alive? Impossible, I saw elder brother Linghui be buried with my own eyes back then.
"Please, brother, there is a large birthmark made from sesame seeds behind your left ear. If you really are brother Linghui, please lift up your long hair and let me see."
Ling Hui was very pleased. The birthmark on his left ear was so small that if he did not look carefully, he would not have noticed it. He did not expect that Lil 'Six would still remember it so clearly.
"Yes!"
There were many people in the group of elders, and they had not even seen Spirit Radiance Grandmaster before. It could be said that the one with the most authority was the Third Elder, who had the oldest qualifications and was also close to Spirit Radiance Grandmaster.
Everyone pricked up their ears and waited for the Third Elder to identify the results.
"Bang!"
The third elder knelt on the ground and kowtowed as he said, "Ling Hong greets brother Ling Hui. I have been raised by brother Ling Hui since I was a child, but I did not recognize him as such."
Third Elder Su's real name was not known to the entire Elders Guild. It was only today that they found out that he was from the Spirit Faction.
When Third Elder Su's father was born and his son died in an accident in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, Spirit Radiance, who had already grown up, took the initiative to take on the responsibility of raising Ling Hong. Although the Spirit Radiance Grandmaster and the Third Elder were nominal brothers, the truth was that they had a deeper father-son relationship.
"Third uncle, he really is my father ?"
"Impossible, father is already dead. At that time, I was the one who changed father's clothes, and when we were buried, I was also the one who added some dirt to him. He must have been a fake. You and the clan leader lied to me while they were on fire."
Su Hongyi refused to accept the facts.
"There's no cure." Spirit Radiance Grandmaster's face was full of disappointment. He knew that his son had violated the clan rules, but he never thought that his son had already fallen to such a state. No wonder the Patriarch personally invited him.
"This ancestor was authorized by the clan leader to represent and punish the current grand elder." The Spirit Radiance Grandmaster continued to speak, "Great Elder Su Hongyi betrayed the clan and violated the clan rules. He was sentenced to a thousand cuts and ten thousand cuts according to the Su Family rules. I declare that I will execute the punishment on the spot."
With that, Spirit Radiance Grandmaster changed his palms and struck Su Hong Yi's Dantian, temporarily sealing Su Hong Yi's Qi, leaving him with no way to resist.
"Elder brother ?"
The Third Clan Elder knelt in front of Spirit Radiance Grandmaster with quick steps: "Brother Ling Hui, you are unsensible and have angered your brother, the younger brother did not discipline you well, your brother had always been under the supervision of your younger brother after he left, if your brother did anything wrong, please punish your younger brother, whether it is splitting your body into five horses, slicing your body into thousands of pieces, or slashing your body into thousands of pieces, your brother will not complain!"
Su Hongyi was the only bloodline of Elder Brother Linghui. He couldn't just sit by and watch his elder brother kill his sons. This would give his elder brother an internal demon, and in the future, it would be difficult for him to accomplish anything on the path of cultivation.
Spirit Radiance Grandmaster sighed, how could he not know what Ling Hong meant?
"The clan rules can't be broken. Little Six, get out of my way. This unfilial son betrayed the Su Clan and joined forces with outsiders to harm the Su Clan. Not to mention you, even I can't save him."
"Father ?"
Su Hongyi was awakened by Spirit Radiance Grandmaster's palm strike.
As long as Little Sister Su marries the City Lord, half of our Su Family's taxes will be taxed. Furthermore, your son's grandson will be married to the Zhang family's substitute Patriarch, Zhang Xiner. From now on, the Kaiyuan City is our Su Family's.
Su Hongyi's starting point was not wrong, but it was a pity that he did not understand the Su Clan's Supreme Elder's teachings.
"Tyrant ?"
Spirit Radiance Grandmaster slapped Su Hong Yi's left cheek and said, "The Su Family has the intention to dominate us. Let alone the Kaiyuan City, even the Three Great Families have to get out of here." The Three Great Families referred to the three families of Kai Yuan, Huayuan, and Tian Yuan. A few hundred years ago, the Great Qi Kingdom divided the three cities into Yuan Family as their territory. Although the Kaiyuan City was nominally the Da Qi Kingdom, it was actually the Yuan Family's private territory.
To the Su Family, the Three Great Overlord Yuan Family was the sky. Could it be that the Spirit Radiance Grandmaster had gone mad and wanted to replace the Yuan Family?
"Father ?"
Su Hongyi looked at his father in shock. Not to mention Huayuan City, Tianyuan City, even the worst Kaiyuan City was not the only clan in the entire city, Huayuan City's overall strength was more than ten times that of the Kaiyuan City, and Tianyuan City had ten times the strength of Huayuan City. Any of the Huayuan City's aristocratic families would be able to instantly kill the Su Family.
"Unfilial son ?"
Spirit Radiance Grandmaster was so angry that she couldn't say anything.
"Twenty years ago, when the Zhang family entered the Kaiyuan City, you really thought that the clan leader would help the Zhang family out of good intentions. This is all for the sake of our Su Family's survival, don't think that I don't know you have such thoughts, the clan leader is nothing. The more Spirit Radiance Grandmaster spoke, the angrier he got, and the more he forgot about himself.
"Spirit Radiance Grandmaster, please be careful ?"
Su Zhan hurriedly stopped Spirit Radiance Grandmaster from continuing.
Only then did Spirit Radiance Grandmaster come to his senses. He almost told the secret of the Su Family to this bunch of marginalized clansmen.
"Impossible ?" Su Hong Yi had plotted this for half his life and he had never obtained the position of Patriarch. Today, his father told him that his failure all those years ago was because of his father's interference, allowing him to break through his Spirit master stage and enter the higher levels of the Su Family.
"Great Clan Elder, there is nothing that is impossible, back then my meridians were broken and I was unable to take another step in my entire life. Spirit Radiance Grandmaster sacrificed himself for me to take over the position of clan leader, and when I took over the position of clan leader, I came into contact with the clan's higher secret, this clan leader understood, Spirit Radiance Grandmaster wanted to let Great Clan Elder break through his Spirit master stage, but unfortunately, the Great Clan Elder's power had blinded him and disappointed the Patriarch." This was the first time Su Zhan told him about him being injured and becoming the next Patriarch. This was the pain of his entire life.
"Idiot, do you know how hard I have worked? "Unfortunately, the crime of betraying the family is unforgivable. Today, you must die to wash away the family's shame. On the path to the Yellow Springs, my son ?" Spirit Radiance Grandmaster closed his eyes and struck Su Hong Yi with his palm.
"Stop ?"
"Wait ?"
