C14 I Am the Patriarch I Have the Final Say
"All witnesses and material evidence are here. Take him to jail!"
Third Master Chu shouted. The corner of his mouth carried a trace of ridicule. He had prepared well. If he wanted to capture a junior, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?
Boom! Boom! Boom! A few young guards suddenly attacked from the Chu family. These guards were much stronger than the old men who attacked earlier. Each of them had reached the Spirit Devouring realm, and they were the mainstay of the Chu family's army of guards.
"Third Uncle, you framed me! Be careful that the Institute of Elders will blame you!" Chu Feng said in a deep voice and stepped back.
He couldn't be caught by Third Master Chu just like that, otherwise, he would become a hostage in Third Master Chu's hands. Not only would he be in danger, but his father might also be implicated as well!
"You don't have to worry about this. I will think of a way to deal with the matter of the Institute of Elders." Third Master Chu sneered.
Chu Feng's expression changed when he heard this. Third Master Chu was planning to kill first and report later! And judging from Third Master Chu's calm and composed manner, he had probably already arranged the relationship between the Elders Guild a long time ago.
"Young Patriarch, it's better for you to surrender. Otherwise, blades and swords have no eyes. If you are injured, you can't blame anyone else!" The few Spirit Devour Realm experts said with a cold laugh.
Chu Feng gritted his teeth, and a layer of haze appeared in his heart. With his strength, however, if it was a Spirit Devour Realm warrior, then he could easily defeat a Qi Gathering 9th Level warrior. It was simply not enough. Furthermore, there were a few early Spirit Devour Realm guardians. Even if he had the Nine Pattern Blood Pupil, he would not be able to defeat them. And it's hard to make up for the difference between realms.
"You dare to attack my son? You're courting death!"
Just as the Spirit Devour Realm guardians were about to capture Chu Feng, a loud shout suddenly rang out from within the ancestral mansion.
Papapapapapa!
Eight crisp sounds echoed throughout the courtyard. Like flowing water and flowing water, eight fist shadows descended, and the few Spirit Devour Realm cultivators were sent flying. They heavily fell onto the pillars of the ancestral mansion, heavily injured.
"Who is it?!"
Third Master Chu and the elders were all shocked. Just who was the one who injured so many Spirit Devouring Stage Cultivators with just one fist technique? He looked over and saw the figure of a stalwart middle-aged man in front of Chu Feng.
"Patriarch!"
"Second brother?!!"
Third Master Chu's facial expression changed, because this stalwart middle-aged man was none other than the patriarch of Chu family, Chu Xiaotian!
"Second brother, what are you doing in the ancestral mansion? Shouldn't you be competing with the four great families now?!"
Third Master Chu's facial expression changed as he asked in a deep voice.
The higher ups of the five great families of Azure Cloud City were having a meeting during these two days. As the representative of Chu family, Chu Xiaotian should be chatting happily with the patriarchs of the City Lord Mansion and the other great families. Why would he appear here?
Chu Xiaotian's face was filled with anger. "Third brother, you still have the nerve to say that. If I didn't come back in time, I'm afraid Feng'er would have been harmed by you all!"
Chu Xiaotian stared coldly at the few Spirit Devour Realm guardians who had attacked Chu Feng. Killing intent was flowing in his eyes. "You bunch of bastards! How dare you attack Feng'er now? I think you all are really audacious!"
"Patriarch, we..."
Those Spirit Devouring Stage Cultivator were trembling with fear, and their faces were pale. The rules of Chu family were very strict. The reason why they had the courage to attack Chu Feng was because they had Third Master Chu backing them up.
But now that the patriarch had returned, even with Third Master Chu backing them up, they didn't dare to act rashly.
"Second brother, you can't blame me for this. It's all your son's fault! Your son crippled three lives and killed some of the younger generation in the family!" Third Master Chu shouted.
"Bullshit! Third Brother, please make up a draft before making up lies in the future. What realm was my son at back then? How could he cripple Chu Sansheng, who was at the eighth level of Qi Gathering, at the early stage of Qi Gathering?"
Chu Xiaotian retorted forcefully. He would not casually believe Chu Qingtian's words. This Third Brother was famous for having many bad ideas in the family. No one knew which part of Third Master Chu was telling the truth and which part of his words was made up.
Third Master Chu's expression was ugly. "Second Brother, this matter of mine is not baseless. Ask your son if there is such a thing!"
Chu Xiaotian looked at Chu Feng and asked, "Son, tell me the truth. If anyone dares to bully you or slander you, I will definitely not let this matter rest!"
Chu Xiaotian's domineering and powerful words fell into Chu Feng's heart, but it became soft and gentle. He knew that his father did not like to get involved in the conflicts of the family, but this time, his attitude was so tough. It was all because of him.
Such a father made Chu Feng feel the warmth of family in Strange World.
"Dad, it's true that I crippled Chu Sansheng." Chu Feng said.
This time, Chu Xiaotian was dumbfounded. If Third Master Chu had said this, he might not have believed it.
This was because Third Master Chu might have said this to slander Chu Feng. But since Chu Feng had said it himself, he had no choice but to believe it. He knew that his son's character was upright, and he wouldn't lie.
In other words, Chu Feng had actually crippled the eighth level Qi Gathering genius, Chu Sansheng, with his early Qi Gathering stage cultivation?
"How come I don't know when my son became so powerful?" Chu Xiaotian said in a strange tone, but not only did he not get angry, his eyes also revealed a strange light. "Feng'er, your recent changes have really surprised father."
Chu Xiaotian was very satisfied with Chu Feng's performance. As a father, everyone was willing to see their son become successful. Although he was the patriarch, he couldn't express the excitement in his heart in front of everyone. However, that admiration could faintly be seen in his heart.
"Second Brother, you are simply helping the enemy! My son has been crippled by Chu Feng. I can't let this matter rest so easily!" Third Master Chu said with a cold snort, his eyes filled with killing intent.
His son had been crippled, but Chu Xiaotian was very happy. It was truly infuriating.
"Third uncle, your method of breaking the rules is quite fancy! Since you have already told me about this matter, I will also settle the score with you."
"First of all, the reason why I crippled Chu Sansheng was because Chu Sansheng attacked me first. If it wasn't for the fact that I was stronger than Chu Sansheng back then, I would have been the one crippled now!"
"Furthermore, I didn't kill these juniors! I only crippled them back then! If I killed them, the corpses of these people should be in my hands instead of your hands!"
Chu Feng's eyes were like a torch as he stared at Third Master Chu and asked with a cold smile.
"Third Uncle, may I ask, how did you obtain these people's corpses?"
Third Master Chu's face froze. At this moment, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Chu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and then anger appeared on his face again. "What a good Chu Sansheng, you actually dare to bully my son? There was no need to talk about this matter. You did not learn well, and your punches and kicks were blind. You deserved to be crippled! "
Ever since Chu Feng's mother left, only Chu Feng was left in Chu Xiaotian's heart. It could be said that Chu Xiaotian loved Chu Feng even more than Third Master Chu did to Chu Sansheng. Third Master Chu had two sons, but Chu Feng was his only son!
When he heard that his son had almost suffered a loss, Chu Xiaotian was also furious!
Chu Xiaotian felt that it was already merciful enough that his son didn't kill Chu Sansheng.
Chu Sansheng had a sullen expression on his face. Although he was the one who started the trouble, he was the one who suffered the most injuries! Now, Chu Xiaotian didn't even acknowledge the debt. He was simply too unreasonable.
Chu Feng and Qinger laughed secretly at the side. Previously, Third Master Chu was also so unreasonable, but after 30 years, it was Third Master Chu's turn to suffer the consequences. This feeling must not be pleasant.
Third Master Chu's face was a little distorted. He did not like Chu Xiaotian's strength. This Liu used to like this. He was overbearing and unreasonable, which was why there were so many grudges between the two of them.
"Chu Xiaotian, you are unreasonable. Although you are the patriarch, you don't have the right to make such a judgment!" The elders shouted angrily and glared at him.
Chu Xiaotian smiled. "No, no, no, I have already made a judgment. And whether it is reasonable or not, it is not up to you to decide! I am the patriarch now! "
"Besides, your son is a treasure, and my son is not? Let me tell you, I'll leave my words here today. Whoever dares to touch my son, I'll personally cripple him! "
Chu Xiaotian's face carried Tyrant's Qi, which was incomparably domineering. The spirits of all the men in the courtyard shook.
"Chu Xiaotian! You!"
The elders were furious. They thought Chu Xiaotian was the patriarch. You'll have to worry about your own influence, and you won't do anything. They never thought that Chu Xiaotian wouldn't fear the heavens and earth at all. He wouldn't care about the feelings of these people for Chu Feng.
Third Master Chu's eyes revealed a trace of killing intent and suppressed anger. "Second Brother, you are going to abdicate soon. Aren't you afraid that after the new patriarch takes over, he will do the same to you?"
Third Master Chu's words carried a hint of threat. What he meant was that the tables had turned. When you abdicate, you will not feel good in the future either!
"I'm sorry, I am the young patriarch. If the new patriarch takes over, it will also be me. You don't have to worry about this kind of thing. " Chu Feng added another slash and said with a smile.
Those elders were so angry that they were about to vomit blood. As they had always regarded Chu Feng as a trash, they had never thought that Chu Feng would succeed the position, because the family would never allow a trash patriarch to appear.
But now, Chu Feng had shown some of his talent and strength. Perhaps, he would really become a patriarch that was in line with the standards of the family.
If Chu Xiaotian was already like this, wouldn't they really have to wait for Chu Feng to become the patriarch?
"Humph! It's not that simple! Who exactly can become the patriarch? The dust hasn't settled yet!" An elder mocked.
"Right! Chu Feng, we asked you to come this time because we have something to announce to you. Our Institute of Elders has passed a decree to start this year's Family Competition. "
Chu Feng and Chu Xiaotian were startled when they heard this" Start the Family Competition. "
" A bunch of old fellows. You are indeed thinking about my position as the young patriarch! "
Chu Feng narrowed his eyes. His eyes were bright.
The so-called start of the Family Competition was a legacy left behind by the ancestors of Chu family.
The people of the Chu family would have a family competition every seven years, and the winner of the family competition could request the entire Chu family to agree to one of their requests.
According to the agreement, as long as it wasn't something that posed a threat to the Chu family, everyone in the Chu family should agree to it!
The power was so great that they could even ask the young patriarch to change his position!
Seven years ago, Chu Feng was one of the best among the younger generation, and he had won the Family Competition. Thus, he became the young patriarch.
