This is a very ancient realm, and many realms have been changing their names. For example, they will be changed when the lords are changed, but the name of Luoshui Territory has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. Because there is a river here called Luoshui, and there is also a family here called Luoshui.
Luo family.
The Luo family has a long history. There are few families in the entire Luoshui territory with a longer history than the Luo family. There are only a few families second only to the Luo family, and the Mu family is one of them.
A powerful lord-level man once appeared in the Mu family and occupied a nearby territory. However, after the death of this lord, the family gradually declined and was brutally hunted. In the end, the Mu family defected to the Luoshui territory and relied on the Luo family to survive.
preservation.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
Although the Mu family has declined, it is still very powerful. It has always been the second largest family in the Luoshui territory, until a drastic change occurred a thousand years ago. Most of the direct powerful members of the Mu family entered a Jedi and died unexpectedly. The Mu family was completely
The decline of the family. The direct lineage began to be unable to hold its head high. In addition, Mu Wanqing's father died unexpectedly, and Mu Wanqing's grandfather lost his vitality a thousand years ago. It was almost impossible to support him during this period.
Once the old man dies, the position of patriarch will definitely not belong to the direct lineage. The strongest person on the direct lineage is Mu Wanqing's younger brother Mu Wangxing. He joined the Elders Hall not many years ago because he was too young to control the scene.
It is too difficult to become a clan leader.
Once the competition for clan leader fails, the outcome of waiting for Mu Wangxing is not just as simple as frustration. Because Mu Wangxing has always been the clan leader and has a high prestige in the clan. When the new clan leader takes over, if he wants to completely stabilize the Mu family, he must find a way
Kill Mu Wangxing. Moreover, Mu Wangxing's qualifications are incredible. If he is given hundreds of years to grow, he will become a strong man. When the time comes, he will definitely compete for the position of clan leader.
Therefore, the atmosphere in Mu Xian City, where the Mu family is located, has been a bit tense recently. The old patriarch's physical condition is getting worse day by day, and it is probably just a matter of the past few days. Several major branches are secretly making trouble, and various combinations are waiting.
After the death of the old patriarch, competition for the position of patriarch began.
Various rumors began to spread within the family. There were three main rumors. One was about how much the Supreme Elder had worked hard for the family over the years, how much he had contributed to the family over the years, and how much he had paid for the family.
Another rumor is about the Great Elder, saying that the Great Elder has recently mastered some powerful magical power and his combat power has been greatly improved. It is also said that the Great Elder's son is going to be engaged to a direct lady of the Luo family, and will receive Luo's gift.
Everyone’s full support for this kind of thing.
There is another rumor, but it is a bad rumor. It is said that Mu Wangxing was born evil. Not only did he kill his father, but also the old patriarch. It is said that he is a ghost and the whole family may be killed by him.
Ke De annihilated the clan...
It's obvious!
These rumors were deliberately released by someone. This was to build momentum for the Supreme Elder and the Great Elder, and to suppress King Mu. Don’t underestimate these rumors. Anyone who rises to power needs support. If everyone is not convinced, they will not be able to convince the public.
If you do, it will be difficult to secure this position. No one will listen to you, and you will do anything you want, and it would be meaningless for you, the leader of the clan, to do that.
"Dong~dong~dong~"
At nightfall, a dull bell suddenly sounded from the main hall in the middle of Mu Xian City. Countless people in the entire city immediately flew out and looked over there.
"Dong dong dong~"
The bells rang continuously, and the louder they sounded, the colder the hearts of the people in the city became. After the bells rang for a full ninety-nine times, countless people's faces became sad, and many people knelt on the ground and howled and cried.
.
Ninety-nine returns to one!
Many big families are actually similar. The ringing of ninety-nine bells means that the most important person in the family has passed away. The other elders in the family still have a long life and are in good health. The only explanation for the ringing of the bell is that the old patriarch has passed away.
.
Soon, cries came from the main hall, and the news was confirmed. The old patriarch had ascended to heaven. The Mu family had lost a strong man and a good patriarch.
The news gradually spread, and all the powerful members of the Mu family who were outside rushed back. As long as the Mu family had some prospects, they all sent messages to Mu Xian City. The death of the clan leader was a big event. After the clan leader was buried, the new clan leader
To give birth, the members of the Mu family will come to pay homage to the new patriarch.
The death of the patriarch was a big deal, and the entire big family in Luoshui territory would come to pay their respects. A glorious funeral took place for half a month, and the Mu family finally settled down.
Of course, this is stability on the surface, but there are turbulent undercurrents secretly.
On the third day after the funeral, all the four powerful men in the family gathered in the main hall to hold a family meeting and began to elect a new clan leader.
Originally, according to common sense, there was no need to choose a new patriarch, because Mu Wanqing's lineage has always occupied the dominant position in the family, and it was passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson, from generation to generation.
At that time, there were so many powerful people in the direct lineage, and the position of leader could not be passed to other branches, so there was no such thing as choosing a leader. Usually, the old leader accepted the new leader.
However, the old patriarch had been in a coma for a long time. He had been in a coma for more than a year and had no legacy left. So at the suggestion of the second elder, all the elders and leaders of the family gathered together to select the patriarch.
Mu Wangxing was very sad and angry, but had to suppress his inner anger. During this period, he secretly contacted many elders, but the answers from those elders were ambiguous and unprepared. There was even one who was originally their firm support
Or, the tone seemed wrong later on.
The second elder presided over the meeting. He spoke very tactfully, saying that a country cannot be without an owner, and a clan cannot be without a leader. The old clan leader did not leave any legacy, and there were many voices in the clan. Therefore, with this conference, listen to everyone
Opinion.
Then, several commanders spoke directly!
Under normal circumstances, the selection of a clan leader is a matter for the elders' hall, and the leader is not qualified to participate in such a conference, let alone speak at the conference.
However, many leaders spoke. Some said that the Supreme Elder has made great contributions to the family, has strong combat power, and has high prestige. The position of clan leader must be given to the Supreme Elder, otherwise many people will be dissatisfied.
Some leaders also said that the Great Elder has both political integrity and talent. Over the years, the Great Elder has managed all the affairs of the family, and the major outside families also highly recognize the Great Elder. The position of clan leader must belong to the Great Elder.
Of course, there are people who support Mu Wangxing. After all, he is a direct descendant and is still young and promising. Under the leadership of Mu Wangxing, the family will definitely be able to regain its former glory.
These words of the commander are actually all nonsense. They were all told by Taishang Elder and Grand Elder Mu Wangxing who were not convenient to shout out and found some people to speak.
All the elders already have candidates in their minds. There is no point in saying more. The final outcome will definitely be a vote. It is impossible for the family to have internal strife, and it cannot afford to have internal strife. The Mu family is already so weak. If the internal strife continues,
The Mu family is afraid that it will perish.
After the meeting lasted for more than three hours, voting finally began. Each of the more than thirty elders had one vote. Whoever received the most votes would become the new clan leader.
Just when the voting started, the teleportation array in Mu Xian City lit up, and a woman and four men appeared in the teleportation array.
