The battle at Rand Plaza intensified the internal conflicts within the Xia family to an irreconcilable point.
The second elder of the family took control of the situation. Fearing that Xia Zhenshou and Xia Xuanzhe would cause trouble again, the second elder Xia Shunyou followed the advice of his youngest son Xia Weixing and imprisoned the two at the same time. He also killed several people from both factions.
A key figure also came under control.
However, within a day, the news of the Xia family's internal fighting seemed to have grown wings, making it known to everyone in the Zonghe Empire. Moreover, this internal fighting of the Xia family not only killed 27 people, but also seriously injured 211 people.
Thirteen people, and what's more serious, a faction of the third elder are actually eager to try and separate from the Xia family independently. This, this has simply escalated to the point of family division.
The second elder Xia Shunyou, who has an indecisive personality, originally hoped that the patriarch Xia Yongtai would wake up from his coma in time and take charge of the overall situation. However, after three days of observation, Xia Yongtai not only showed no symptoms of awakening, but his condition became worse and worse.
In the intensive care unit, Xia Yongtai continued to have high fever, his vital signs continued to decline, and he lost weight. As a last resort, the second elder Xia Shunyou hurriedly held another family expansion meeting on the third day. In addition to the third elder, the second elder Xia Shunyou attended the meeting.
In addition to Xia Weiming and several foreign affairs elders in Fuyang County, the third and fourth generation core disciples also attended the meeting.
The meeting was chaired by the second elder Xia Shunyou. Not long after the extended family meeting started, when they were negotiating who would temporarily take charge of the daily work of the family, the differences and contradictions suddenly escalated to the extreme. The third elder's faction and the clan leader's faction
The people started to quarrel. At the meeting, the two groups started blaming each other, then escalated to insulting each other. In the end, the two groups became so angry that they actually started pushing and shouting and moving their hands.
"Poof!"
I saw Third Elder Xia Weiming slap the table heavily with his palm. In an instant, the conference stone table made of basalt stone cracked into countless small pieces.
The two people who caused the most violent quarrel were suddenly dismembered, and the blood spurted out covered the white wall and was still steaming.
"Whoever says more will die!"
Everyone was silent for a moment. These third- and fourth-generation direct disciples all knew that the character of the third elder Xia Weiming was completely different from the indecisive character of the second elder. This third elder who was decisive in killing would definitely die once he said the word "death".
Not child's play.
Xia Xuanzhe originally wanted to rush forward to argue with Xia Weiming, but was firmly caught by his sister Xia Xuanbing. Xia Xuanzhe looked at Xia Weiming who was so angry, and his heart was filled with anger. Regardless of Xia Xuanbing's obstruction, he shouted: "
Xia Weiming, you..."
"bump!"
A ray of energy slash flew towards Xia Xuanzhe. Like a kite with broken strings, Xia Xuanzhe was hit hard and hit the wall of the conference room. The stubborn Xia Xuanzhe crawled out slowly, looking fiercely with cannibalistic eyes.
Staring at Xia Weiming, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he finally fainted to the ground.
Xia Xuanbing ran on the runway in tears
Next to Xia Xuanzhe, they found that Xia Xuanzhe was only knocked unconscious by the third elder Xia Weiming, and his life was not taken. He felt a little calmer in his heart. This was when he heard the third elder Xia Weiming say sternly:
"A bunch of shameful things. Now the entire Zonghe Empire and all the powerful families are watching our Xia family's jokes. Do you know what they say about our Xia family behind our backs? They say we are a bunch of stupid dogs who only know how to eat dogs!"
"Look at you now, each one of you looks ferocious, each one looks like the hatred is as deep as the sea. What do you want to do? You want to raise the butcher knife in your hand to massacre your brothers and sisters, and massacre your people."
"Right now, the clan leader is infected with an unknown virus and is unconscious. His life is hanging by a thread. And you, you don't investigate the cause of the clan leader's infection, track down the real culprit, and seek a way to cure the clan leader. You just rely on a
A guess, a hypothesis, a baseless speculation, how can one fight without regard for brotherhood?"
"I know, I know some of you suspect that it was me who caused Patriarch Xia to be infected with the virus. Haha, where is the evidence? Who has evidence? Who can put the evidence in front of me to prove that it was me who did it? If there is really any evidence,
Based on real evidence, I will commit suicide on the spot."
"You have no evidence, and you haven't even found any clues. You just rely on personal guesses to conclude that I am responsible. It is simply framing the blame and slandering others. Why, is it just because of you unworthy things that you speculate that I am responsible for this?
Do you want me to suffer the consequences of the murder committed by the clan leader? Do you want me to be slaughtered at will?"
"Just because of you trash?"
Speaking of this, Third Elder Xia Weiming's aura suddenly increased to a higher level, and the aura of the superior god general exploded. The monks present below the human realm suddenly felt as if their chests were hit hard, and it was difficult to breathe. A feeling of suffocation emerged spontaneously.
What followed was dizziness and confusion.
Third Elder Xia Weiming's words silenced the entire conference room. At this time, Xia Weiming looked around for a week, took back his aura of being a superior general, and said in a slightly gentle tone:
"Now, the clan leader is infected with an unknown virus and is in a coma. The fourth elder, Xia Nan Ziyuan, is far away in Tiaojiao County, guarding the wilderness, and I have been branded by someone with ulterior motives for harming the clan leader. However, our clan is currently in a troubled period.
, In times of crisis, we cannot be without a master for a day. I propose that the second elder temporarily serve as the temporary family of the Xia family. During the "Great Swamp Competition", all of us will follow the instructions of the second elder in all actions and arrangements."
"How can this work? Third brother, you know my character. I have never dealt with any major family affairs. Now that the "Great Swamp Competition" is such an important matter, how can I make a choice? I think it is better for you to be the acting clan leader, third brother.
Most suitable.”
As soon as the second elder Xia Shunyou finished speaking, he saw the expressions of the clan leaders suddenly change. It was obvious that the third elder Xia Weiming was asked to step up and take over the clan leader's authority to issue orders at this time.
The people were about to fall out. Seeing this, the second elder who originally wanted to say a few words had to shut up.
"Second Brother, don't postpone it at this time. We have already made a plan to deal with the "Great Swamp Competition", just follow the original plan. You have also seen that now only Second Brother you are qualified to do this.
Position, can you bear to see my Xia family’s disciples killing each other again, and my Xia family to once again become the object of ridicule by the noble family of the Zonghe Empire?”
The second elder, Xia Shunyou, looked at everyone, thought about the situation of the Xia family in front of him, and finally nodded reluctantly, agreeing to be the acting clan leader.
However, everyone present knew very well that making the second elder Xia Shunyou the acting clan leader was just a temporary solution and had to be adopted.
The meeting continued. According to the plan formulated by the patriarch Xia Yongtai, the list of core members of the Xia family who will participate in the "Great Swamp Competition" was finally determined at this meeting.
Xia Xianze, 40 years old, has advanced combat spiritual training, and his strength is equivalent to the ultimate junior warrior level, a close combat monk.
Xia Jiyong, 39 years old, has an intermediate level of fighting spirit cultivation, and his strength is equivalent to the ultimate level of fighting spirit, a controlling monk.
Xia Kaihong, 38 years old, is a junior combat spirit practitioner, his strength is equivalent to that of an advanced combat spirit level, and he is a long-range shooting monk.
Xia Haibing, 38 years old, is a junior war spirit cultivator. His strength is equivalent to the advanced war spirit level and he is a defensive monk.
After the quotas for the four core direct descendants of the Xia family have been determined, the next step is to determine the quotas for the three foreign aids. Now, only one foreign aid quota has been confirmed, and that is Tai Zhen, the fourth generation direct disciple from the Tai clan of the Yipin family. Others
The two of them also have a general staff, one is Shangguan Yingyu from the second-grade family, and the other is Ouyang Zhongping from the Ouyang family of the second-grade family.
Tai Zhen is the strongest. He is only 35 years old. He has ultimate warrior spiritual training. His strength is equivalent to the level of an intermediate warrior, and his force attribute belongs to the excellent thunder attribute. Shangguan Yingyu and Ouyang Zhongping are both 38 years old.
, the advanced war spirit cultivation level is equivalent to the junior warrior level, slightly worse than Xia Xianze, but better than Xia Jiyong.
After temporarily selecting the place for the competition, the second elder Xia Shunyou breathed a sigh of relief. He had done everything he needed to do. Next, it was up to fate!
However, the young men from the Xia family who participated in the Great Swamp Competition, whether from their own family or from foreign aid, were far from being able to compare with the personnel sent by the Feng and Ge tribes. In this Great Swamp Competition, the Xia family fought against the two tribes with the strength of one family.
It's unfair in the first place, not to mention that the Xia family's power has been greatly reduced, and it is no match for the rising Feng and Ge clans. But the matter is at this point, and there is no point in talking about this.
At this time, the communication video link between the third elder and the second elder sounded at the same time. When the two elders saw it, a bad omen suddenly rose in their hearts. At this time, how could they suddenly receive a video from the Tiaojiao County Military Headquarters?
Communication link request?
Could it be that something happened in Tiaojiao County?
