Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty The Battle of the Patriarchs
Murong Capital City, a famous city in Dongzhou of the Southern Fire Region, is also the seat of the Murong family.
Murong Duo's death plunged the Murong family into chaos. Even Murong's capital city was in panic, fearing that a big change would happen.
Murong Mansion.
"Great Elder, who do you think killed the head of the family?"
A man wearing a dark gray robe, with gray temples, thick black eyebrows, eyes shining with cold stars, and a broad chest walked into an ancient house and looked at him sitting cross-legged on a jade bed, wearing a black robe, with his eyes closed.
The eldest elder of the Murong family, who was adjusting his breath, thought for a moment and asked.
"I don't know!" Elder Murong opened his cloudy old eyes and said, "But I know that a great chaos will happen to our Murong family soon."
"A big chaos?" The gray-robed man frowned slightly and said, "Elder Elder, do you mean that the eldest lady will compete with the young master for the position of head of the family? Or will others intervene?"
"Hmph, Murong Ruoshui is just a wild girl, nothing to be afraid of. The young master can't lead our Murong family. What I'm worried about is the real culprit behind the murder of the family leader!" Elder Murong said with a solemn face: "If I'm not wrong
, there is a spy in my Murong family."
"Spy?" The man in black's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Great Elder, who do you think the spy is?"
"Let's not make unnecessary speculations. What we have to do now is to stabilize the Murong family and wait for the real murderer to appear!"
"No matter who dares to kill the head of the family and get involved in my Murong family, I will not let it go!"
Elder Murong showed his tyrannical side and was ready to use iron-blooded tactics to save the Murong family from crisis.
At the same time, in an ancient courtyard deep in Murong's mansion.
Wearing a white robe, tall and handsome, the young master of the Murong family and Murong Duo's only biological son Murong Jingyun fell into great sadness and anger.
"Uncle Luo, who do you think could be the real murderer of my father?"
Murong Jingyun, whose eyes were red, clenched his fists and said in a trembling voice.
"Everyone can be a murderer!"
Wearing a black robe, with long black hair hanging casually on his shoulders, and a stern expression, Luo Hu, who was in the three-star Liuhe Martial Lord realm, pondered for a while.
Luo Hu was not from Murong's family, but was Murong Duo's bodyguard and one of his closest confidants. After Murong Duo died, the only person Murong Jingyun could rely on was him.
"No matter who it is, I want his life. I will definitely kill the murderer and avenge my father!" Murong Jingyun said fiercely.
"Jingyun, maybe there is a way to determine the real culprit?" Luo Hu, with twinkling eyes, whispered.
"What can be done?" Murong Jingyun asked.
"You are the only bloodline of the family leader left in this world. Unfortunately, the family leader died, and you are the only heir. After the family leader's funeral, you openly declared that you would inherit the position of the family leader. Whoever wants to stop him may be the real murderer!
"Luo Hu said.
"Okay, let's do it like this!" Murong Jingyun took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
On the day of Murong Duo's funeral, Murong Ruoshui rushed back to the Murong family. When she saw Murong Duo's body, she could no longer restrain her emotions and cried loudly while holding Murong Duo's body.
Gu Tiange stood quietly next to Murong Ruoshui, watching her silently and observing the expressions of everyone in the Murong family.
"Okay Murong Ruoshui, don't delay the burial of the family master, get up!"
Elder Murong looked indifferently at the sobbing Murong Ruoshui, and gave an order that he could not resist.
Murong Duo was the head of the Murong family. His funeral was very grand and alarmed all the major families in Murong's capital, who all showed up to see him off.
However, Gu Tiange, who was observing in secret, still captured important information from the eyes of many families and analyzed it all in his mind.
After Murong Duo was buried in the ancestral grave of the Murong family, Murong Jingyun, who was wearing hemp and mourning, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, suddenly stood up and announced loudly: "I, Murong Jingyun, swear to avenge my father's revenge. I wonder if you can
If you are willing, work with me to tide over the difficulties and avenge the old master."
"Um……"
As soon as Murong Jingyun finished speaking, the ancestral graves of the Murong family, filled with a sad atmosphere, suddenly became silent. Everyone captured the important information from Murong Jingyun's words, and no one spoke to answer.
"Our Murong family cannot be leaderless, and the young master is the only bloodline of the family head. He deserves to inherit the position of family head!"
Seeing that no one spoke, Luo Hu, wearing a black robe, stood up and supported Murong Jingyun.
"Jingyun, the head of the family has just been buried. Are you too anxious to decide the head of the family now?"
Great Elder Murong, Murong Su with a stern expression hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said.
"Why, does the Great Elder think that I am not qualified to inherit the position of head of the family?"
Seeing Murong Duo who was the first to stand up to refute, Murong Jingyun's heart suddenly ignited with raging anger, and he asked with gritted teeth.
"Of course not!" Murong Su shook his head and said, "It's just that the head of the family died in a very strange way, and the murderer behind the scenes has not been found yet. I'm afraid that something will happen to you when you succeed as the head of the family."
"you……"
Hearing Murong Su's excuse, Murong Jingyun's lungs almost exploded with anger, his whole face turned red from suppressing it, and his eyes towards Murong Su became more and more evil.
"To be cautious, I think we should find the murderer first, and wait until we avenge the head of the family before choosing a new head of the family!" Murong Su said calmly, ignoring Murong Jingyun's angry eyes.
"Yes, our Murong family is in a troubled time now, and we can't afford any more accidents!" The second elder Murong Ming nodded and agreed: "I think it is better to delay the succession of the new family head first."
"Two elders, my Murong family is leaderless, so who will decide all matters?"
Luo Hu frowned slightly, looked at Murong Su and Murong Su with calm expressions, and whispered.
"Let's do this. Before a new head of the family is elected, all affairs of the Murong family will be decided by the elders!" Murong Su suggested.
"I don't agree!"
Hearing that Murong Su was trying to evade him, Murong Jingyun became angry and protested loudly.
"Then what better proposal do you want?" Murong Su looked at the angry Murong Jingyun silently and said calmly.
"First Elder, let me ask you, do you want to be the head of the Murong family?"
The situation was completely tilted, Murong Jingyun took the risk, stared at Murong Su angrily with blood-red eyes, and asked loudly.
"Jingyun, what do you mean by this?" Murong Su said without joy or sadness: "I do this for the good of the Murong family. What do you think you can do for the Murong family with your current strength and condition? Can you do it well?
Leader?"
"You you..."
Murong Jingyun was furious, and subconsciously, he regarded Murong Su as the murderer.
But Gu Tiange, who had been accompanying Murong Ruoshui, did not speak and kept silently paying attention to everything in front of him.
Just when the situation fell into a stalemate, and Murong Jingyun and Murong Su refused to give in to each other, suddenly, a strange force came from outside the Murong family's ancestral tomb and broke the deadlock, attracting everyone's attention.
