In the Situ Family room, the atmosphere was extremely gloomy at the moment, and many people looked angry.
"Grand Elder, the last few days the Wang Family and Wan Family were like mad dogs, attacking our Situ Family store," the underling reported: "We have several Pill Pavilions and Weapons Pavilions that were forced to close."
"Back then, our three families were still developing peacefully. I didn't expect father to just die, and they couldn't help it." Situ Bo eldest son said in annoyance: "We have to fight with them and tell them our family is not easy to provoke, to be a deterrent.".
"Now I don't even want to fight." The Grand Elder said: "The Patriarch has the strength of the Peak True Vein Realm, and he has restrained the other two Ancestors."
"Now that he's gone, how do we fight? "
"Now that our Situ Family people are worried, I think it is better to choose a capable Patriarch first," The second son named Situ Yu stood up and said.
"I think what the second brother said is reasonable, this brother is not talented, but I also read a lot of books and poetry. I am willing to lead our Situ Family through this crisis," said the third son named Situ Jing firmly.
"Third brother words are too heavy, as the saying goes. The eldest brother is like father. Since father passed away, I, as the eldest brother, naturally have the responsibility to resolve this crisis," Situ Bo said in a hurry.
"I don't think the Patriarch Office can be chosen by order. After all, it is related to the interests of the whole family, but depends on the ability." Situ Yu said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Little brother thinks I still have some talent."
The Grand Elder frowned sitting on top, patted the table furiously, and said: "For the sake of the Patriarch Position what kind of fight is going on like this, I'll act as the temporary representative for the Patriarch Position, and we'll talk about it when there's a new candidate."
"Grand Elder, at least set a standard, or if we compete, the one who wins can inherit the Patriarch Position." The three brothers looked at each other at the same time and said, looking at the Grand Elder.
Although the competition between their three people was very high, they were all determined to win the Patriarch Position, but they didn't want to give the Three Elders an advantage.
......
Situ Yunqing sat quietly in a corner. She saw the people fighting and couldn't help feeling sad for the family.
A heart touching sadness.
These people all want to seize power, but they can't afford it for themselves, and they are all for selfish desires, and they don't care about the safety of the family.
Situ Yunqing even felt that if the Situ Family was left to her to manage, it would be much better than these people.
It is a pity that she has no authority and power, and she can't fight for anything.
At this moment, the first person on my mind turned out to be Xu Zimo.
She had also discovered the identity of the other party. It is said that it is a True Martial Sacred Sect disciple, and its status is not low.
Situ Yunqing was meditating, she didn't want to be a vase, she didn't want to just live a life like this.
Three days later, because of the secret confrontation between the Three Great Families in Zhouque City, the people of the city became worried and dark clouds enveloped the city, feeling like a blowing wind heralded an impending storm.
"I heard that the young master of the Situ Family, Situ Bo was killed the day before yesterday."
Inside the restaurant, several people were discussing in low voices, "Who said no, this Situ family was really hit by a disaster, I heard that their second son was also killed last night."
"How did I hear that their three sons were also killed?"
The restaurant was bustling, but most of the topics of conversation were about the Situ Family.
Many people were not very optimistic about the future of the Situ Family.
"Do you think the Wang Family and Wan Family did it? They want to take the opportunity to destroy the Situ Family and change the situation in which the three Families stand together."
"Who knows, maybe the Situ Family did it themselves, they all want to compete for the Patriarch position."
......
In the living room of the Facing River restaurant, Xu Zimo listened to Little Gui report, his right hand tapping rhythmically on the window sill.
"I have reminded the Wang Family and Wan Family that they have never sent anyone to commit murder," Little Gui said, "Those murders should have been carried out by people within the Situ Family."
"Once everything is ready, we will arrange to pull the net tomorrow. There's no need to spend a lot of time," Xu Zimo said.
"I see, I will arrange it." Little Gui nodded, then backed away.
The moonlight tonight is very dim, a few stars rarely hang on the horizon, and the entire Zhouque city is fast asleep.
Early the next morning, when everyone was still fast asleep, and had not yet fully awakened.
The Wang Family and Wan Family disciples had surrounded the entire Situ Family.
Wang Cheng, the patriarch of the Wang Family, and Wan Cangqiong, the patriarch of the Wan Family, walked together to the door of the Situ Family.
"Are you guys trying to fight my Situ Family?" The Grand Elder shouted loudly, awakening the entire Zhouque city which was still in its early waking dreams.
"Situ Mang, don't make unnecessary struggles. Today we will remove your Situ Family from Zhouque City," said Wan Cangqiong.
The aura of the Peak True Vein Realm on his body radiated, the look on the Grand Elder face changed. Even though he was also at the True Vein Realm, he was only at the 7th level and was by no means an opponent of Wan Cangqiong.
"Patriarch Wan, Patriarch of the Wang Family, we don't seem to have any hatred and enmity, why bother fighting to the death," Grand Elder began to persuade: "Even though our Patriarch of the Situ Family has left, we are not easy to be oppressed."
"I can guarantee that our Situ Family in the Pill Pavilion and the Weapons Pavilion in Zhouque City can give the two families 50% of the profits."
"Situ Mang, you've wasted decades of living, don't you understand?" Wang Cheng disdainfully said with a smile: "Winners are kings, losers are criminals, why the need to destroy your Situ Family? The survival of the strongest, that's all."
"If you insist on fighting, I will accompany you to the end." Grand Elder said solemnly to the person behind him: "Please ancestor."
Then the purple black coffin was lifted. The coffin seemed to have been in storage for a long time, surrounded by red pillars.
"You two can think clearly, once I open the ancestral chest, it is an irreconcilable situation to death," Grand Elder said arrogantly.
"Then give it a try, I also want to see the previous generation of Patriarch Situ," Wan Cangqiong said without panicking, only saying more warily.
In this ancestral coffin lies the last Patriarch of the Situ Family. In fact, many cultivators would seal themselves in dust when they had little life essence and no hope of breaking through to a higher cultivation realm.
This red spar outside the ancestral coffin is called the World Blood Stone, which can effectively slow down the flow of time.
This ancestor sealed himself in the ancestral coffin with the World Blood Stone. Under the World Blood Stone ability, their lifespan consumption would be minimized.
In other words, he only had five years of life, but as the rate of the flow of time slowed down, they could extend his life to ten years or even twenty years.
