C14 Blood Splattered in the Ancestral Hall

"Sect Chief, the matter is already very obvious. Xu Feng has ulterior motives, and he purposely used some dirty tricks to kill Xu Yougui as the chief steward. Now, you can be the judge."

As soon as Xu Feng finished speaking, Xu Tianci, who was standing at the side, impatiently said in a cold voice.

"Shut up. The matter hasn't been clarified yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Yonghui shouted in a deep voice.

Xu Tianci's face turned gloomy. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at Xu Feng.

Xu Yonghui had given up on the matters of his family in recent years, but he still had some lingering power in his family, and no one dared to go too far. Xu Feng's arrival seemed to have given Xu Yonghui a glimmer of hope.

"Xu Feng, take your time and explain the matter clearly."

Xu Yonghui looked at Xu Feng and said.

Xu Feng was a little surprised in his heart. He didn't have a good impression of this grandfather. It was fine if his father's death didn't concern him, he didn't even care about it. If he, as the patriarch, said something casually... It could change his situation.

However, Xu Yonghui had never said a word for him, and his usual behavior was as if he didn't have this grandson.

However, why did Xu Yonghui still speak up for him at this time?

A different feeling welled up in Xu Feng's heart. After all, after experiencing these things, he had grown a lot and had a new opinion about some people and things.

"Everything is clear now."

Xu Feng looked at Xu Tianci and unleashed his Qi. Some of the obstacles he had faced in the past had been broken through by his anger, and he had broken through to the fifth level of the Essence Returning!

"The strength of the fifth level of the Martial Path!"

The eyes of the elders beside him changed. To be able to break through to the fifth rank at such a young age, he was undoubtedly a genius of his clan.

"May I ask Elders, what kind of treatment would a fourth rank martial artist receive in the clan?"

Xu Feng shouted.

Xu Yonghui's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Those who have reached the fourth rank of the Martial Path are the pillars of our family. We must nurture them with all our strength to protect them."

Xu Yonghui answered Xu Feng's question.

"Alright. When I was at the fourth rank of the Martial Path, someone sent me to guard the mine. After entering the mine, Xu Youji ordered me to guard the most dangerous mine. He even wanted to kill me after that, and he said that he was instructed by an elder of the family. Which elder of the family instructed me to do so?"

Xu Feng's eyes swept across the elders beside him, then he looked at Xu Tianci.

Xu Tianci's face was expressionless, as if what Xu Feng said had nothing to do with him.

"Who arranged for you to enter the ore mine?"

Xu Yonghui's face darkened. There was a suppressed anger on his face, like the roar of a violent lion.

"Xu Weiyi."

Xu Feng said faintly. He wanted to see how much this so-called grandfather could do for him.

"Elder Xu Weiyi?"

Xu Yonghui looked at Xu Weiyi who was standing beside him.

Xu Weiyi's expression was ugly, and he subconsciously looked at Xu Tianci.

Xu Tianci didn't have any expression on his face. Xu Weiyi could only say slowly, "Because there are few people in the ore mine, I can only..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the furious Xu Yonghui.

"Bastard! Any disciple of a family with a bright future will be protected by the family. It was a dereliction of duty for a random reason to transfer a disciple of a family to a dangerous ore mine. I hereby declare you to abolish the position of an elder and expel you from the Xu family. "

The surrounding elders were shocked. This was the first time Xu Yonghui had used his authority as the head of the family in such a furious manner.

"Patriarch, you can't do this. I have worked so hard for the family for decades. You can't do this!"

Xu Weiyi shouted loudly. At this time, Xu Feng suddenly turned around and walked towards him.

Xu Weiyi looked at Xu Feng with a fierce look.

"Little bastard, it's all because of you. It's all because of you. I'm going to kill you."

Xu Weiyi suddenly attacked Xu Feng. A trace of a cold smile emerged on Xu Feng's face. He took a step forward and grabbed Xu Weiyi's palm. He exerted his strength and Xu Weiyi screamed in pain.

His palm was broken by Xu Feng, and this was only the beginning. Xu Feng attacked again and kicked Xu Weiyi's leg, causing another bone cracking sound.

Xu Weiyi kept screaming. The bones on his body were broken by Xu Feng piece by piece.

The eyes of the surrounding elders twitched when they saw this. This kid was a bit too cruel. However, if what Xu Feng said was true, there was an irreconcilable hatred between the two of them. This was considered letting Xu Weiyi off easy.

Xu Tianci looked at all of this indifferently. He had no intention of saying anything, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

Xu Feng withdrew his hand and stood still. Xu Weiyi had been completely crippled by him, but he didn't kill Xu Weiyi. He just let the half-dead Xu Weiyi lie on the ground.

The surrounding elders felt a trace of coldness once again. This kid was really ruthless!

He had clearly beaten this man to this extent, but he didn't kill this man. This made him live in pain. This kid's means of fighting was too vicious.

Xu Feng didn't realize this, or it could be said that he did it on purpose.

He wanted to give everyone a warning. He, Xu Feng, wasn't someone who could be easily humiliated. He would bring back everything that had happened in the past.

"Alright, let's put the matter of Xu Weiyi aside for now. What about the matter regarding Xu Youxu?"

Xu Tianci didn't even look at Xu Weiyi. He continued to talk about Xu Youji's matter.

"Xu Youji is the chief steward of Xu family? Killing you can be said to be the order of some people, but why did they kill all the people in the ore mine? Could it be that he wants to leave Xu family? "

When Xu Tianci said this, his facial expression didn't change at all, as if the person he was talking about had nothing to do with him.

This man was indeed ruthless. Xu Feng warned himself in his heart that he must not underestimate this man.

"Because Xu Youji discovered a secret, a secret that could allow him to leave the Xu family and even create another Xu family."

Xu Feng took out the secret of the mine.

He didn't have any specific use for this secret. Without the vitality stones, it was impossible for him to open the mine. He might as well let the Xu family obtain it. With his current strength, he would definitely benefit from it.

"What secret?"

The eyes of all the elders of the Xu family lit up. The secret that allowed Xu Youji to betray the Xu family was definitely not an ordinary secret.

"There is a defense mechanism in the mine, there should be a secret realm inside."

Xu Feng said.

"Seal? Secret realm?"

Everyone looked excited.

"Our Xu family is really going to be rich. Any secret realm will have its own inheritance. If our Xu family obtains this secret realm, it will become even stronger."

"That's right. This is a secret realm. What are we waiting for? Hurry up and go to the secret realm and retrieve the items!"

An elder impatiently said.

"The secret realm is a top secret of the family. Whoever dares to leak the information will be a traitor of the Xu family. We will discuss this matter later."

Xu Yonghui's expression was calm. There was no sign of panic or panic on his face. Instead, he had the demeanor of a general.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. Xu Feng is a genius of our family, and he has brought such news to our Xu family. Shouldn't we reward him?"

Xu Yonghui looked at Xu Feng and said with a gratified look in his eyes.

When these elders heard this, they instantly fell silent.

No matter what the rules were, if Xu Feng was able to report this matter to the higher-ups, the family would definitely reward him. However, they didn't dare to respond because there was also Xu Tianci beside them.

If Xu Tianci didn't say anything, they naturally wouldn't dare to say anything.

Xu Yonghui didn't intend to continue asking these guys, he just looked at Xu Feng.

"Xu Feng, what do you want?"

Xu Feng lowered his head as if he was thinking about something. After a while, Xu Feng looked up and said firmly, "I want to compete for the right to be the successor of the family."

The successor of the family! When these words came out of his mouth, all the elders could not help but change their expressions.

Since Xu Feng's father's death, it was obvious that this family no longer had the strength to compete for the position of the family head. But now, Xu Feng stood out.

Reaching the fifth rank of the Martial Path at such a young age, this kind of strength was absolutely qualified to compete for the position of the family head.

"Impossible, you are not qualified to compete for the position of the family head."

At this time, Xu Tianci's expression finally changed as he coldly shouted.

Xu Feng's facial expression also turned cold.

"What does Elder Xu mean by this? Why don't I have the right to compete for the position of Patriarch? Is it because I am not strong enough, or am I not qualified?"

Xu Tianci looked over coldly," Your strength is not bad, but it is not high either. As for the qualification? Your father is dead, what qualifications do you have?"

“ Oh? Is my strength not high?"

Xu Feng sneered," Ten days ago, I was only at the second level of the Martial Path, ten days ago. I have already reached the fifth level of the Martial Path. Does Elder Xu think that my talent is not enough? Give me another ten days. How do you know that I can't break through to the Martial Arts Ninth Layer? "

What? Breaking through from the second level of the Martial Path to the fifth level of the Martial Path in ten days?

All the elders were stunned. Wasn't this breakthrough too fast? Or did he have some fortuitous encounter?

However, they were only thinking about it. They didn't have the strength to covet Xu Feng's fortuitous encounter.

"As for the qualification, I am the only heir of the Xu family's family head. May I ask Elder Xu what qualifications do you have to say that I am not qualified? Or is it that Elder Xu wants to break the rules of the Xu family and form his own family?"

Xu Feng's words were as sharp as a knife, forcing Xu Tianci to do so.

Xu Tianci's face was filled with anger and embarrassment. He couldn't even speak a single word because of Xu Feng's words.

Whether it was in terms of strength or qualifications, Xu Feng was a strong candidate for the position of the family head.

"Because I am here, you will never be qualified to compete for the position of the family head."

At this time, a cold shout came from outside the door, and then a young man walked in.

Xu Tianci's face was filled with joy when he heard this voice, while the other elders acted as if they were watching a good show.

Xu Feng's expression became solemn. Although he had never seen this young man before, he had heard of his reputation.

Xu Lei was the number one genius of Xu family, and also Xu Tianci's son.

He had started practicing martial arts at the age of three, and had broken through to the first level of the Martial Path at the age of five. He had now reached the sixth level of the Martial Path. No, he should be at the Martial Arts Seventh Layer!

Xu Feng sensed the aura on Xu Lei's body. This guy had clearly reached the Martial Arts Seventh Layer.
