There are countless major sects in the world, among which the ranking of the nine major families is the easiest to change.
The sect relies on the inheritance of the skills. Even if all the people in the sect die, as long as someone obtains the skills and is willing to rebuild the sect, the entire sect will not become extinct.
Compared with sects, aristocratic families rely on blood for inheritance. This kind of thing inherently has certain disadvantages and limitations.
So now the nine major aristocratic families in the world are thinking about using methods such as marriage or changing the system to make themselves stronger and at the same time make their mistakes smaller and smaller.
The Xiahou family, as one of the top three among the nine aristocratic families, is already strong enough, so what the Xiahou family wants now is the word 'stability'. This can be seen from the Xiahou family's system.
I can tell.
In the Xiahou clan, except for the ancestor who has lived in seclusion for a long time, even the head of the family cannot keep his word.
Although Xiahou Zhen is called the head of the family, there are more than ten elders of the Xiahou clan above him. These elders may not be as strong as Xiahou Zhen, but they are all extremely experienced old men in the world. These people have no actual power, but they are
The purpose of stopping what Xiahou Zhen is doing is to check and balance the family head of Xiahou Zhen and prevent him from going his own way and bringing the Xiahou family into the abyss.
Therefore, if Xiahou Town wants to reform some things within the Xiahou clan, it must consider all aspects and convince all the elders.
It can be said that being the head of the Xiahou family is not an ordinary exhaustion.
Although this kind of rules of the Xiahou Clan can prevent the family head from making any drastic decisions that would lead the Xiahou Clan into the abyss, it also slows down the development of the Xiahou Clan and makes the system a bit bloated.
At this time, in the Xiahou family's meeting hall, more than ten elders were sitting there, all of them were old, but not weak in strength.
The weakest among these elders used to have the cultivation of the realm of unity between man and nature, and the stronger ones even used to be masters of the martial arts master level, but they are already too old, and their longevity has reached the extreme, even if they are martial arts masters.
The Grandmaster had no chance to take action, so he put down his power and settled down to cultivate within the clan.
Xiahou Zhen walked into the hall, sat on the main seat, looked around, and said calmly: "Why did the elders find me?"
One of the oldest old men, with white beard and hair, who could not even open his eyes, said slowly: "I heard that the head of the family is planning to use the power of the Xiahou clan to suppress the Guanzhong Punishment Hall?"
The Xiahou family is so big, Xiahou Zhen guessed what they wanted to do before they came. Xiahou Zhen couldn't help but snorted: "So what? Great elder, do you have any opinions?"
This Great Elder is of the same generation as their ancestor of the Xiahou Clan. He was also a strong man at the martial arts master level in the past, but the ancestor of the Xiahou Clan of that generation was even more amazing and talented, and he was always suppressing this
As the Great Elder, he has never had any room to stand out in the Xiahou clan, and this is still the case until now when his longevity is almost over.
It's just that although this great elder is not good at it himself, he still wants to train his descendants to sit in the position of the head of the family. It's a pity that none of his descendants are useful, and he finally came out after a few decades.
A descendant with amazing talents, but he happened to be of the same generation as Xiahou Zhen. He was directly suppressed by Xiahou Zhen and failed to compete for the head of the family.
Therefore, over the years, the person who has opposed Xiahou Town the most is this elder. Even Xiahou Town sometimes wishes that this old immortal would return to the west as soon as possible. Living is a waste of resources and cannot bring any benefits to the Xiahou family.
The great elder said slowly: "Master, you have to know that you are the head of the entire Xiahou clan, and every move you make represents the overall interests of the Xiahou clan.
I've heard everything. Xiahou Wujiang, that child, was spoiled too much by you. He suffered losses in the world of martial arts and didn't have much experience. It's natural for him to lose to others. In the past, when I was in the world of martial arts, I suffered repeated defeats.
, but he didn’t risk his life to return to his family to bring in reinforcements.
Also, although someone died this time, the person who died was not a member of my Xiahou clan. He was just a retainer. Why are you excited? You are actually planning to use the power of the Xiahou clan to suppress the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. There is no sense in doing so.
Is there any benefit at all?”
Xiahou Zhen said coldly: "There is no benefit? Lao Qi is a member of my Xiahou clan. He is dead. If my Xiahou clan doesn't even fart, wouldn't it be ridiculed if word spread?"
The first elder still said slowly: "Master, I'm sorry to hear you say that the dead guest was just a dog raised by my Xiahou family. The dog was beaten to death by others after letting it bite people. I'll raise another one."
Well, why do you have to bring people in?"
Xiahou Zhen slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Lao Qi is my brother!"
The great elder put away his slow demeanor, stared at Xiahou Zhen, and said in an indifferent tone: "Master, don't forget your last name! He is just an outsider, and those with the blood of my Xiahou family flowing in his body are your clan members.
Because even if this matter involves the life of a collateral disciple of my Xiahou family, I feel at a loss, not to mention that the Guanzhong Punishment Hall itself is not easy to mess with.
As the head of the family, you naturally have to consider the interests of the Xiahou family. If you don't think carefully, it will be the turn of us old immortals to think about you, the head of the family.
Anyway, as long as we are here, you can’t use any of your power. The life of a warrior from the Xiahou clan is very precious, and I must not waste it on such insignificant things!"
The other elders present also joined in with the great elder. Almost 90% of the people present would side with the great elder, and the remaining 10% remained neutral.
These people didn't mean to make trouble with Xiahou Town, it was just their own interests.
Although these elders no longer have real power, their descendants are still in the Xiahou clan, so they naturally have to think about their descendants.
Therefore, as long as Xiahou Town wants to do anything, it must provide certain benefits to their descendants.
And once they find that Xiahou Zhen has too much power and want to cause trouble, they will suppress Xiahou Zhen.
Looking at these immortal things in front of him, Xiahou Zhen felt itchy with hatred.
He, the head of the family, looked extremely domineering to other warriors, but he himself only felt aggrieved, extremely aggrieved.
Xiahou Zhen stood up suddenly and said coldly: "Okay, okay, you are thinking about the interests of the Xiahou family, but today I only seek personal revenge!
I won’t use Xiahou’s power, I will go to Guan Siyu personally to ask for someone later!”
After saying that, Xiahou Zhen walked away directly.
One of the elders approached the great elder and asked worriedly: "Great elder, if we refute the family leader like this today, will something happen?"
The First Elder said calmly: "What could happen? Xiahou Zhen is not an idiot, he would fight with Guan Siyu just because of an outsider.
He is very angry right now. He just wants to go to Guanzhong Punishment Hall to vent his anger. Nothing will happen to him.
During this period, he was a little too smooth and it was inevitable that he would swell. I waited to calm him down and let him calm down.
What is the role of us elders? Isn’t it just to help the master of the family straighten him out when he goes astray? If the master of the family doesn’t listen, there’s nothing I can do if the family master doesn’t listen. Anyway, I’m doing it for his own good.”
Everyone present nodded, looking in agreement.
Just when Xiahou Town had decided to go to Guanzhong Punishment Hall to find Guan Siyu's important person, the news of Mingchen's death also reached Daguangming Temple.
And because the journey was far, what came was only the news of Mingchen's death, not the body.
In the King Kong Academy, Mingchen's master Huizhen was stunned after hearing the news of Mingchen's death. There was no anger or grief in his eyes, only endless sadness.
Huizhen is an elder of the Vajra Academy. He has long reached the realm of unity between man and nature, but he is not young yet. He is already over a hundred years old, and his energy and blood have begun to decline.
Mingchen is not his only disciple, but he is his favorite disciple, because Mingchen is very similar to him when he was young, a little impatient and righteous, but impulsive and irritable.
But after so many years, Huizhen's temper has changed a lot after suffering several losses in the early years. Finally, as he grew older, he achieved enlightenment, but he also lost the opportunity to become a martial arts master.
Although Mingchen is not young, he is still in his prime, and there is still a chance. As long as he can completely change his temper and understand the true meaning of the Angry Eyes Diamond Heart Sutra, he may have a chance to reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the future.
It's a pity that Mingchen didn't survive this disaster in the end. He didn't die in Chu Xiu's hands, but in the hands of his own uncontrollable anger.
But even though Huizhen knew this, he still wanted to avenge Mingchen.
This has nothing to do with other messy things, it's just because he is Mingchen's master, it's that simple.
Huizhen is not a master sect. Even if his disciple dies, he can give up his hatred for the sake of benefit.
He didn't hate Chu Xiu, but he still wanted to kill Chu Xiu for revenge.
It's just that Huizhen is not sure whether he can kill Chu Xiu with his own strength alone.
The physical body of the warriors of Daguangming Temple is extremely powerful. However, once the physical strength of a warrior who specializes in physical training begins to decline when he gets old, his own strength will also decline extremely seriously. Can he kill the extremely powerful Chu Xiuke one-on-one?
It's all an unknown quantity.
Moreover, Chu Xiu is the chief executioner of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall and is considered an important figure in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. If he wants to kill Chu Xiu, he must first pass Guan Siyu. Once he reaches the level of a martial arts master, he is no longer able to intervene.
Yes.
So Huizhen left his Zen monastery and went directly to the head of the Vajra Monastery, ‘Venerable Veda’ to make false promises.
Xuyan is a generation older than Huizhen, but he is much younger than Huizhen, not even a hundred years old. His appearance is that of a tall, middle-aged monk with a masculine appearance.
