"Second brother! Damn it! You...you fucking dare to betray me?"
Shangguan Tu's face changed drastically and he fell into a rage. The person who came was the second elder of the Shangguan family, his most trusted right-hand man!
If it was just the seventh elder Shangguan Yan who betrayed him, things wouldn't be too bad.
After all, with Shang Guanyan's strength, even if he joins forces with Guan Hong and the others, he may not be able to move in. But if the second elder Shangguan Hu joins, the situation will be completely different!
Among the senior officials of the Shangguan family, apart from Shangguan Hong, the head of the family in its heyday, Shangguan Tu was the most powerful.
The next ranking of the elders is exactly a reflection of their strength. Starting from the second elder Shangguan Hu, the strength of the rest decreases in sequence.
Although there is not much difference between them, this is a ranking that has been tested in actual combat. The power of the entire family is also distributed based on this, and no one has any objection at all.
There is no doubt that among all the elders of the Shangguan family, the strength of the second elder Shangguan Hu is the closest to him. This person's sudden defection is really a heavy blow to him!
"Shang Guan Tu! Do you think that I have truly surrendered to you in the past few years and really want to help you usurp family power? Huh, I have to say, you are really stupid!"
The seventh elder, Shangguan Yan, shook his head and scolded coldly, with a look of disdain on his face, as if he was calm and calm.
"Master! Shangguan Hu has been neglecting a lot in the past few years, but he really had to do it. If I hadn't pretended to surrender to gain Shangguan Tu's trust, I'm afraid I would have let him escape today!"
The second elder, Shangguan Hu, shook his head and sighed, and bowed his hands in greeting to the head of the family, Shangguan Hong, with a look of emotion on his face, as if everything he had done in the past few years had many unavoidable reasons.
It was as if he really had to endure the humiliation and bear the burden for the sake of his family's safety.
Shangguan Hong's face was solemn and his eyes were slightly narrowed.
The situation in front of him is really beneficial to him. It can even be said that this is the great opportunity he has been dreaming of for several years!
With the statements of the second elder Shangguan Hu and the seventh elder Shangguan Yan, the disaster of Shangguan Tu is no longer something to be feared. Next, he only needs to follow the trend and join forces with the two opponents to attack Shangguan Tu in one fell swoop and rectify the family.
Orthodoxy!
However, he was not a fool after all. He was sneering in his heart at the seemingly sincere statements of the second elder and the seventh elder.
As the head of the family, how could he not know what these two people were thinking?
As early as a few years ago, something went wrong in his practice, and when the great elder Shangguan Tu got a strong helping hand from Lou Chongfeng, the two of them changed their stance and began to move closer to Shangguan Tu.
But today, seeing Shangguan Tu lose power, these two people suddenly changed and immediately stood on the opposite side of Shangguan Tu, looking eager to make contributions to the family.
Is this kind of person really worthy of trust?
"Okay! Very good!"
Thoughts were rolling in Shangguan Hong's mind, but a joyful smile appeared on his face. He looked at the two elders as if they were looking at the prodigal son who had suddenly awakened. He nodded heavily, as if filled with emotion.
"The two elders have endured humiliation and heavy burdens for the sake of family justice. They have been wronged in the past few years!"
"Haha, it doesn't matter!" The seventh elder smiled dryly and waved his hand, saying as if he didn't care.
"What are you talking about, head of the family? For the benefit of the family, what do we have to fear even if we are shattered to pieces!" The second elder shook his head slowly, with a sigh on his face.
"Well! Now is not the time to talk. Let's take down this traitorous family first, and then let's 'reward based on merit'!" Shangguan Tu said with a solemn expression and a profound meaning.
"It should be so!" The seventh elder's face became solemn, and the aura around his body rose rapidly.
"This is what it should be!" The second elder nodded heavily, his expression became more sinister, and his two cold eyes stared at Shangguan Tu like poisonous snakes.
Looking at the formation in front of him, Shangguan Hong shook his head and sneered, but he was not too eager to take action.
He looked at Shangguan Tu coldly, with a sarcastic smile on his face: "Shangguan Tu, in the past few years, you have been deliberately trying to overthrow the family power, but you did not expect that the second elder and the seventh elder would hit you hard at this time.
Knife?"
"Huh!" Shangguan Tu shouted angrily and said nothing, his face extremely gloomy.
Shangguan Hu and Shangguan Yan next to them had slightly stiff expressions and felt embarrassed, but due to the current situation, they had no choice at all.
Lou Chongfeng escaped and Shangguan Tu lost power. This was their last chance.
If they are still hesitant at this time and cling to Shangguan Tu, a ship that is about to sink, they are doomed to die!
Of course, the two of them are not fools after all. They know that Shangguanhong has been deeply resented by Shangguan Hong for their actions in the past few years. Even if they wake up and help the family leader win Shangguan Tu, after everything is over, they will never be able to hold Shangguan Tu as before.
Great power and unlimited glory.
But even so, they have no choice but to follow the general trend and go with the flow.
If they do this, they may still have a glimmer of hope, but if they don't, they will die just like Shangguan Tu!
"Second child, seventh child, do you think you can keep your position like this? Hahahaha, you are so naive!"
Shangguan Tu laughed wildly, but did not offer any unnecessary persuasion.
He knew that in this situation, it would be useless even if he talked too wildly.
No matter how good the conditions are, at this moment, it is impossible to convince the two of them to work for him.
In fact, from the moment Lou Chongfeng left, he was destined to be completely defeated!
"Stop talking nonsense, Shangguan Tu, you are dead today!"
"Hmph! Instead of being a good elder of the family, you want to collude with outsiders to seek the position of the head of the family. This kind of treasonous thing must be punished in the most severe way!"
The seventh elder and the second elder denounced in a deep voice, each one filled with righteous indignation, as if they had become the embodiment of justice and the spokesperson of the family's interests.
"Okay! Now...send him on his way!"
Shangguan Hong scanned the audience, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, the four elders rushed forward.
The third elder Shangguan Xuan, the fifth elder Shangguan Bo, the second elder Shangguan Hu, and the seventh elder Shangguan Yan, the four half-step Xuantian realm experts each condensed the bleeding vision and spared no effort to attack Shangguan Tu.
Even though Shangguan Tu had the advantage in cultivation among these people, he still couldn't defeat such a formation, not to mention that the four of them didn't spare any effort in their attacks.
Four streams of martial arts willpower came crashing down like crazy. Shangguan Tu only resisted for a moment, but was no longer able to hold on. In the blink of an eye, he was swallowed up by the rolling spiritual energy frenzy.
Shangguan Hong stood aside with his hands behind his hands, watching the scene in front of him coldly.
By this time, four elders had taken action, and he no longer needed to take action himself.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he had swallowed the Heaven Transformation Pill rashly earlier. If he had kept this pill until he recovered from his injury before taking it, the effect would definitely be much stronger than it is now.
