At the same time, the Bai Family Hall of Changle Prefecture.
There are five chairs on the left and right, with ten people sitting on them.
Among these ten people, Bai Yuhu, the younger brother of the family leader Bai Yunlong, only sat at the bottom on the left.
This is because the other nine seats are occupied by nine of the ten elders of the Bai family.
Although they are branches of the Bai family, each one of them is of extremely high seniority, and their martial arts skills are at the highest level, and they hold the power of the Bai family.
Outside the hall, there were dozens of sword-wielding disciples dressed in white uniforms on guard, and the atmosphere was very serious.
After a while, Bai Yuhu said: "Bai Yifeng summoned us, but he didn't show up. What the hell?"
At this moment, Bai Yifeng, who was dressed in white and handsome, walked slowly from the courtyard into the hall, came to the main seat, stood and said: "Elders, I have called you here this time to tell you
Here’s the news, my father went into seclusion to cultivate and accidentally became possessed, and has passed away. He left a suicide note before his death, and now I invite the Great Elder to announce the suicide note!”
After he finished speaking, he ignored the shocked looks in everyone's eyes, took out the suicide note from his arms, and handed it to the white-haired old man first on the left.
The white-haired old man took the suicide note, but before he could read it, everyone was already talking about it.
An elder in white clothes with a long gray beard said: "Yunlong was in his prime, how could he die suddenly? There must be a hidden secret in this!"
Another elder said: "That's right. Besides, we haven't even seen the body of the family master, how can we announce the so-called suicide note rashly? What if the family master is temporarily in trouble and suddenly comes back, wouldn't this be a joke?"
Bai Yuhu also said: "Yes, I haven't seen my eldest brother's body, so how can the so-called suicide note count?"
He instinctively felt that something was wrong. He took out the suicide note from Bai Yifeng's hand. He didn't believe it if there was no manipulation.
At this time, Bai Yifeng said: "My father personally broke the dragon-breaking stone in the secret room of the underground palace. The huge stone was three feet thick. I have already tried it. It is difficult to break if it is below the innate realm. If you have any opinions, why don't you wait for the great elder to read it.
Let’s talk about it after finishing the suicide note!”
At this time, the great elder with white beard and hair spread out his suicide note and began to read: "I have been practicing martial arts recently and noticed that my energy is not flowing smoothly and my body is abnormal. I am afraid that I will not die soon. Therefore, I left a will in advance to pass on the title of head of the family.
Yifeng is my eldest son. He is the best choice for his martial arts skills and talent, and he can inherit the position of the head of the family. I hope that my younger brother and all the elders will give their full assistance to stabilize the foundation of our Bai family. We must not fight among ourselves, and let the demon sect take advantage of it!"
After hearing the suicide note, Bai Yuhu immediately said: "Bai Yifeng is young and has low martial arts skills. How can he assume the position of head of the family? Besides, this suicide note may be a forgery by him!"
At this time, the great elder said: "Yuhu, I can't mistake the handwriting of the head of the family. If the suicide note is fake, I won't read it out at all. So, don't find fault in this aspect."
Immediately, Bai Yifeng cupped his fists and said to everyone: "Yifeng also understands that everyone has doubts about my martial arts ability. Since the second uncle is not convinced, I am willing to compete with you in martial arts, and the winner is king. How about it?"
After Bai Yuhu heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Everyone has heard that the winner is king, you won't object, right?"
Everyone looked at each other. If there was a true martial arts competition, is there any doubt that Bai Yuhu, who is ranked eleventh on the Earth Ranking, would be better than Bai Yifeng, who is third on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking?
At this time, the great elder said: "Okay!"
After a while, Bai Yifeng and Bai Yuhu walked out of the hall together and came to the middle of the courtyard, facing each other about a few feet apart.
Bai Jade Tiger slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist. The white and crystal-clear sword body exuded an astonishing cold air. This was the famous sword Bai Chi, which was ranked twenty-third on the list of famous swords.
Bai Yifeng also pulled out the long sword at his waist. The dark green sword body exuded a sharp edge. This was the famous sword Zhan Feng, which was ranked twenty-fourth on the famous sword list.
Immediately, the famous swords in the hands of the two men suddenly bloomed with white sword light, and then their figures flashed and their swords clashed.
With a clang, Bai Yuhu took several steps back, but Bai Yifeng remained motionless. His skill level was instantly self-evident.
Everyone looked at this scene with shocked expressions. Bai Yifeng's internal strength was actually higher than Bai Yuhu, the eleventh-ranked master on the earth rankings. It was really unbelievable for them. At this time, they also understood why Bai Yifeng agreed to the competition.
Decisive victory!
Bai Yuhu also understood. He estimated that Bai Yunlong passed on his martial arts to Bai Yifeng before he died, but he did not believe that Bai Yifeng's internal strength had soared and his martial arts could reach the level of a top master. Therefore, he swung his sword again and used the Sky-Splitting Sword.
Fa, attacked Bai Yifeng.
Immediately, the two exchanged nine consecutive moves, and the long sword in Bai Yuhu's hand was shaken by the internal force and flew out.
Bai Yifeng's long sword was placed on Bai Yuhu's neck, and then he returned the sword to its sheath and said: "Second uncle, I accept the concession!"
Although Bai Yuhu looked unwilling, he also understood that the situation was over and stopped talking.
At this time, the great elder said: "Does anyone else have any objections? If not, Bai Yifeng will officially succeed as the head of the family today!"
The other eight elders were silent and did not object again. The only three people with the right to inherit were Bai Yifeng, Bai Yichen and Bai Yuhu. Now Bai Yuhu has been defeated, and Bai Yichen is only eighth on the dragon and tiger list, how can he be defeated! If Bai Yunlong hadn't died suddenly,
As the legitimate son, Bai Yichen had a good chance of inheriting the throne, but at this time, there was no chance at all.
After a while, no one objected. The great elder first bowed and said: "I, Bai Wanshou, meet the master of the family!"
Immediately, everyone else also bowed and saluted: "See the head of the family!"
Subsequently, the news of the change of head of the Bai family quickly spread throughout Changle Mansion and towards Longyou Road.
The well-informed Tianji Pavilion immediately raised Bai Yifeng's ranking from third on the Dragon and Tiger list to tenth on the Earth list. The news shocked the entire northwest martial arts world!
However, for Bai Yichen, this is not good news.
In the evening, the news reached Guannei Road.
At this time, Gyeongju, Prince Qing’s Mansion.
Prince Qing, Yu Chenglong, Fang Yijun and other confidants gathered in the hall.
Prince Qing said: "Have you heard the news that Bai Yifeng succeeded as the head of the family?"
Fang Yijun nodded and said, "Your Majesty, since Bai Yichen has lost his chance, do we still need to pay attention to him?"
Prince Qing shook his head and said: "Bai Yichen's martial arts talent is pretty good, and he is now close to the peak of the first-class. If Bai Yunlong had not died, the position of the head of the family would probably have fallen to him. It's a pity that he lost his time, and Bai Yifeng has inherited the position of the head of the family. Now,
Even if his martial arts improves very quickly, he is just the next White Jade Tiger and is of little use to us. From now on, we don’t need to pay special attention to his news!"
For a prince, the fight is for the throne, and a master who is close to the top of the world is nothing to him. He originally valued Bai Yichen because he had the opportunity to control the northwest martial arts.
Yu Chenglong secretly sighed in his heart, King Qing gave up his attention, which meant that if Bai Yichen had something to do, he would not help anymore. In fact, he admired Bai Yichen quite a lot, but unfortunately sometimes God's will is unpredictable. Sometimes luck is also an extremely important point on the road to success.
!
At this time, in the capital, Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Yuanfang, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, also warned his son Xiao Xuanming: "Now, Bai Yichen has no chance to succeed as the head of the Bai family. You don't have to waste time making friends in the future. In addition, the 20% bonus of that swordsmith this month will also be given to him."
Retreat and stop interfering!"
Xiao Xuanming said calmly: "Yes, I understand, kid!"
Although he admires Bai Yichen very much, now Bai Yichen has lost the possibility of inheriting the family head and has lost much value. Even if they were once sworn sworn friends, they will automatically become estranged. Moreover, without the intimidation of Bai Yunlong, the innate master, Bai Yichen has become a famous swordsman in the capital.
It is also difficult to continue driving, and it is not appropriate to get involved again.
