Chapter 1248 New Patriarch
Xiang Wang, who had just arrived at Qinshuang's courtyard, suddenly rose up and his expression changed drastically. Qinshuang sighed and stood up and said:
"Let's go and have a look."
Xiangyang's door was wide open. At this time, Xiang Jiao and a dozen elders of Luo Tian Shangshang Immortals in the room. Xiang Wang walked into the door, Qin Shuang stopped, looked through the door, and looked inside.
He saw a man lying on the ground, his eyebrows were pierced by a sword, but it was Xiang Yang, the head of the Xiang family. Qin Shuang felt a stern heart, always feeling shrouded in his mind, and his vigilance was lifted to the extreme.
At this time, the guard outside Xiangyang's house was answering Xiang Jiao's question.
"The Third Young Master and the patriarch entered the room together. After about three quarters of an hour, the Third Young Master left. After about two quarters of an hour, the disciple smelled the smell of blood. At first, the disciple thought that there was something wrong with his sense of smell. How could there be a smell of blood here?
So, I asked my companions, but I didn't expect that my companions on guard with me said they had smelled the smell of blood, which made us alert. We searched in the direction of the smell of blood, but found that they came out of the clan leader's room. In panic, we called on the clan leader repeatedly, but the clan leader did not respond. We pushed open the door and found that the clan leader had already... already..."
Xiang Wang's eyes stared at Xiangyang on the ground, clenched his teeth, and his eyes were fierce and murderous intent.
"You mean, the patriarch and the third young master came in together, and then the third young master left, and no one came again?"
"No!"
Everyone's eyes gathered on Xiang Wang, and Xiang Wang took a deep breath. What Qin Shuang had said to him flashed through his mind. His father passed the throne to his elder brother, but his second uncle openly opposed his father at the ceremony of passing on the throne and raised himself. This was absolutely unusual. Although he still couldn't understand the reason, with Qin Shuang's reminder, even if he saw the eldest brother's body, he forced himself to calm down. He knew that he was trapped in a conspiracy. Only by calming down could he find the truth.
"When I left, my elder brother was fine. And..." Xiang Wang frowned and said, "Even if I want to be unfavorable to my elder brother, I am not my elder brother's opponent. I just broke through the Immortal Stage, but my elder brother is the Immortal Luo Tian Shang."
"You are the clan leader's younger brother, so the clan leader will naturally not be on guard against you. If you are under a raid, you may not be able to kill the clan leader." At this time, an elder said in a voice.
Xiang Wang looked at the elder. He knew that the elder was his cousin, but he was not his own uncle, but his subordinate branch of the Xiang family, named Xiang Yu. Yi was very close to the elder brother and was his supporter of the elder brother. Xiang Wang closed his eyes and did not argue with him. The elder brother died suddenly, and his heart was also very sad. What he was thinking about now was to find the ferocious beast. His eyes swept to more than a dozen elders, and finally he looked at the monk at the peak of the late stage of Luo Tianshang Immortal, who had the highest cultivation level, and said in a narrow voice:
"Uncle Qi, have you found no clues?"
This seventh uncle is Xiang Jinding's younger brother, named Xiang Wuxie. He belongs to Xiang Wang's direct uncle. When he saw Xiang Wang Xiang ask, he shook his head slightly and said:
"No, if, as the guard said, no one has come since you left. Then there is only one possibility."
"What's the possibility?" Everyone's eyes lit up.
"It is a cultivator with earth attributes coming from the ground. After you leave, you kill the clan leader, and then leave from the ground. If we arrive within a quarter of an hour, we can still sense the breath left by the earth attribute Taoist law, but we can no longer feel it at this time."
"Catching the murderer is a big deal, but now we have something bigger to do, and it is imminent." At this time, an elder spoke.
This is Xiang Wang’s sixth uncle, called Xiang Wuxing. Seeing that everyone’s eyes were attracted, he spoke again:
"Now there are shadows and mysterious forces outside the family, and it was because of the sudden attacks of shadows and mysterious forces that our old patriarch was seriously injured and still unconscious. And the death of the current patriarch is also very likely to be caused by shadows. Therefore, we are not sure at all whether shadows and mysterious forces will attack us again.
I believe everyone knows that there are shadows and mysterious forces lurking within our family. Now the old patriarch is unconscious. Elder Xiang Lie goes to Mangcang Mountain to find the Nine Yang Grass. The current patriarch is assassinated, and these things must have been spread to the shadows and mysterious forces.
If at this time, Shadows and mysterious forces suddenly attack our Xiang family, where will we go to Xiang family?"
When everyone heard this, there was tension and anxiety in their expressions. Some even showed a hint of fear in their eyes, but more of it was a kind of sadness.
When did the Xiang family be forced to this extent?
"We now urgently need to select a new patriarch so that we can gather the family together and lead the family to resist foreign enemies."
Xiang Wuxie glanced across the crowd, and everyone fell into deep thought. Finally, Xiang Wuxie, who had the highest cultivation level, nodded first and said:
"Brother Six is right. What do you think?"
Everyone nodded and spoke to Wuxie: "Whoever has anyone to choose? Come on, let me discuss it."
Xiang Wuyin spoke first: "The old patriarch has only two sons left, one is Xiang Jiao and the other is Xiang Wang. Originally, Xiang Wang was the best candidate. However, Xiang Wang cannot clear his suspicion now. Therefore, I recommend Xiang Jiao."
Xiang Jiao waved his hand repeatedly and said, "No, my cultivation level is not high, it's just the Immortal Stage. Let Uncle Qi take over as the clan leader. Uncle Qi has the highest cultivation level now."
Xiang Wuxie waved his hand and said, "Let Xiang Jiao take over as the patriarch first. When the second brother comes back from Mangcang Mountain, he will wake up the eldest brother and then let the eldest brother decide. What do you think?"
Xiang Wuning, who had the highest cultivation level, spoke up, and what else could he say? Everyone nodded. Xiang Wuning looked at Xiang Jiao and said:
"Xiang Jiao, taking over as the patriarch at this time is not about enjoyment, but about responsibility. If you don't have the courage, you can refuse. If you are still the son of the old patriarch, then go ahead."
Xiang Jiao's face changed and he finally became determined and said: "Okay, I'll come to this patriarch's position. I hope all uncles can help me with all my strength to overcome this family crisis. Xiang Jiao thanks you all here."
Xiang Jiao clasped his fists with his hands and bowed deeply.
"Don't worry, we will do our best to assist you." Xiang Wuxie said in a narrow voice, then bowed to Xiang Jiao and said:
"Greetings to the patriarch!"
"Greetings to the patriarch!" Everyone bowed one after another, and even Xiang Wang was no exception.
"Don't give me a gift!"
