In the meeting hall of the Situ family, dark clouds were gathering at this time, and many people looked a little embarrassed.
"Great Elder, the Wang family and Wan family have been like mad dogs in the past few days, specifically attacking our Situ family's shops," the servant below reported: "Several of our alchemy shops and weapon pavilions have been forced to close."
"In the past, our three families were developing peacefully. Unexpectedly, they couldn't help it just after my father left." The eldest son Situ Bo said angrily: "If you want, I will fight with them and let them know that we are not good."
If you mess with me, please restrain yourself."
“Even if we want to fight, we can’t fight now,” the elder said without raising his head: “The head of the family is at the peak of the True Pulse Realm, and he has been constraining each other with the heads of the other two families.
Now that he is gone, how can we fight?"
"Now our Situ family is in panic. I think it is better to choose a capable leader first," the second son Situ Yu stood up and said.
"I think what the second brother said makes sense. My younger brother is not talented, but he is also well-read in poetry and books. He is willing to lead our Situ family through this crisis," the third son Situ Jing said firmly.
"The third brother is serious. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Since my father is gone, I, the eldest brother, naturally have the responsibility to take charge," Situ Bo said quickly.
"I think the position of the head of the family cannot be chosen based on size. After all, it is related to the interests of the entire family, but depends on ability," Situ Yu said without being humble or overbearing: "I think I still have some talents."
The elder who was sitting at the top frowned, slapped the table angrily, and said: "How can it be inappropriate to argue like this for the position of the head of the family? I will temporarily act as the head of the family until there is a new candidate.
.”
"The Great Elder can at least give you a standard. How about we have a competition and the one who wins can inherit the position of the head of the family," the three brothers looked at each other at the same time and said to the Great Elder.
Although there is great competition among the three of them, and they are all determined to win the position of the head of the family, they do not want to just take advantage of the third elder.
…………
Situ Yunqing sat silently in the corner. She looked at the quarreling people and couldn't help but feel sad for the family.
A heartfelt sadness.
These people all want to seize power, but they have no ability themselves, and they are all motivated by selfish desires and have no regard for the safety of their families.
Situ Yunqing even felt that if the Situ family was left to her to manage, she would be much better than these people.
It's a pity that I have no power and no power to fight for anything.
At this time, the first person that came to her mind was Xu Zimo.
She also found out the identity of the other party clearly. It was said that he was a disciple of the Zhenwu Holy Sect, and his background was quite high.
Situ Yunqing was deep in thought. She didn't want to be a vase and live her life in an ordinary way.
Three days later, due to the secret confrontation between the three major families in Zhouque City, the people in the city were a little on tenterhooks, feeling as if dark clouds were threatening to destroy the city and a storm was coming.
"I heard that Situ Bo, the eldest son of the Situ family, was assassinated the day before yesterday."
In the restaurant, someone was discussing in a low voice, "Who says it's not the case? The Situ family is really in trouble. I heard that their second son was assassinated last night."
"Why did I hear that their third son seemed to have been assassinated as well?"
The restaurant was crowded with people, but most of the topics of conversation were about the Situ family.
Many people are not very optimistic about the future of the Situ family.
"Do you think it was the Wang and Wan families who did this? They wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the Situ family and change the situation of the three pillars."
"Who knows, maybe it was someone from the Situ family who did it. They all wanted to compete for the position of the head of the family."
…………
In the guest room of Linjiang Restaurant, Xu Zimo listened to Xiao Guizi's report and tapped his right hand rhythmically on the window sill.
"I have reminded the Wang family and Wan family that they have never sent anyone to assassinate anyone," Xiao Guizi said: "Those assassinations should have been done by people within the Situ family."
"After everything is ready, we will arrange to close the Internet cafe tomorrow. There is no need to waste so much time," Xu Zimo said.
"I understand, I'll make arrangements right away," Xiao Guizi nodded and walked out.
The night was sultry, with a few light dark stars sparsely hanging in the sky, and the entire Zhouque City was in a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, when everything was still in a state of sleep and had not yet fully woken up.
Disciples from the Wang family and Wan family have surrounded the entire Situ family.
Wang Cheng, the head of the Wang family, and Wan Cangqiong, the head of the Wan family, walked together and came to the door of Situ's house.
"Do you want to start a war with our Situ family?" The great elder shouted loudly, awakening the entire Zhouque City who was still in the stage of awakening from the dream.
"Situ Mang, please stop struggling pointlessly. Today we will have your Situ family removed from Zhouque City," Wan Cangqiong said loudly.
The aura of the peak True Pulse Realm emanated from him, and the Great Elder's complexion changed slightly. Although he was also in the True Pulse Realm, he was only at the seventh level and was no match for Wan Cang Qiong.
"Master Wan, Master Wang, we seem to have no grievances, so why do we have to put ourselves to death?" the elder began to persuade: "Although our Situ family's head is gone, no one can easily touch him.
I can guarantee that our Situ family’s Danfang and Weapon Pavilion in Zhouque City will give you 50% of the profits."
"Situ Mang, don't you understand that your decades of dominance have been in vain?" Wang Cheng said with a contemptuous smile: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. There is no need for a reason to destroy your Situ family. It's just the survival of the fittest."
"If you insist on fighting, I will accompany you to the end," the great elder said to the people behind him with a solemn face: "Please ancestors."
Then I saw a purple-black coffin being carried out. This coffin seemed to have been stored for a long time. The coffin was surrounded by pieces of red crystal stones.
"You two have to think clearly. Once I open the ancestral coffin, it will be a fight to the death," the great elder said in an imposing manner.
"Then let's give it a try. I also want to meet the previous generation of Situ Family Head," Wan Cangqiong said without panicking, but just a little more vigilant.
Lying in this ancestral coffin is the previous generation head of the Situ family. In fact, many powerful people will seal themselves away when their life span is short and there is no hope of reaching a higher level.
The red crystal stone outside the ancestral coffin is called the dust blood stone, which can effectively slow down the flow of time.
These ancestors sealed themselves in ancestral coffins with dust-blood stones. Under the influence of dust-blood time, their lifespan consumption will be reduced to a minimum.
In other words, he originally only had five years of life, but because the flow of time was slowed down, they could extend his life to ten or even twenty years.
