Sword burns the sky

Chapter 35 The New Patriarch

In the Jiang family's meeting hall, most of the clan elders gathered together to hold a meeting to elect a new clan leader.

Three days ago, the Chen family took the lead and provoked many forces to encircle and suppress the Jiang family, causing the Jiang family to suffer heavy losses and lose many people. Most importantly, the patriarch Jiang Jian was missing.

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without an owner for a day.A family without a patriarch is like a soldier without a commander, in chaos.

The purpose of the gathering of many elders of the Jiang family today is to discuss who will succeed the new patriarch.

……

"The position of patriarch, I decided to hand it over to Elder Jiang Ling. If you have any questions or disagreements, you can talk about it." Above the head, Jiang He has white hair fluttering and a tired face. The clansmen nodded and spoke their minds.

Who can understand the pain of a white-haired man giving away a black-haired man when the family is damaged and even his own son is lost?
Lin Hai, the supreme emperor, also sat beside him, but he only agreed to be the worship elder of the Jiang family, and would not interfere with any internal affairs of the Jiang family.

"Ah... no, Elder Jiang Ling is just a collateral member." A grand elder exclaimed loudly. He was one of the people who had conflicts with Jiang Ling and his wife before, so of course he didn't want Jiang Ling to become the patriarch.

"Old ancestor, why don't you just hand over the position of patriarch to Jiang Zhan, and we will help take care of it from the side." Another elder spoke his mind.

"That's right, Jiang Zhan was originally the candidate for the patriarch's successor. Now that the patriarch has unfortunately died, Jiang Zhan has to be appointed as the patriarch ahead of time."

In the hall, various theories came out one after another, and there was a lot of noise.

"The position of the patriarch must be Elder Jiang Ling. His cultivation is above the Heavenly Core Realm. When he was young, he traveled to rivers, mountains and rivers, tasted all kinds of life, and has rich and colorful experience. He is the most suitable candidate to be the patriarch. Now The Jiang family is troubled, if you are still engaged in internal affairs, if another situation like Jiang Ziling happens, you will all die."

The death of his father caused Jiang Zhan, who had a dry temper, to change his mood very violently. He stood up, and his indifferent eyes swept over everyone, full of murderous intent.

As soon as Jiang Zhan's words came out, all the people present were startled, and they all fell silent. The righteous master had no objection, so they dared to interrupt.

Jiang He sighed, turned his head to look at his grandson who was emotionally volatile, and transmitted his spiritual thoughts: "Zhan'er, don't blame grandpa, the reason why you are not allowed to be the patriarch..."

"Grandpa, don't talk about it, I understand." Jiang Zhan nodded, he is a martial arts idiot, and he only devotes himself to martial arts cultivation, so why would he care about the many tedious things of the family? I'm talking, now The Jiang family is fragmented and in a state of fragmentation. If there is no patriarch with a strong cultivation base, the situation cannot be suppressed at all.

Jiang Zhan's idea is not in the position of patriarch, he still has to practice to a higher level of martial arts, and avenge his father in the future.

"I'm not suitable?" Jiang Ling was immersed in the sentimentality of his wife and children's serious injuries, and responded weakly.

"It's suitable, I said you are suitable, and you are suitable."

Jiang He stood up from his seat, his sharp eyes swept towards everyone in the family, and he shouted loudly: "From now on, Jiang Ling will be the fifth patriarch of my Jiang family. Everyone, get up and pay your respects."

While Jiang He was talking, he saw a flash of brilliance in his hand, and a golden ring appeared. It was the token of the Jiang family's previous patriarchs. He walked up to Jiang Ling with a dull face, and put the golden ring on Jiang Ling. Ling's hand.

"See the Patriarch!"

Everyone clapped their hands together and saluted loudly, making Jiang Ling, who was about to refuse to take over the position of patriarch, in a dilemma. The next task.

"Okay, since I have taken over the position of the head of the Jiang family, I will say two points here." Jiang Ling's mood changed, and he also stood up, his eyes were cold, and he glanced at the many clan elders below, with a feeling of disbelief. Rebelling against the power, he shouted sharply: "From now on, the Jiang family will adopt a centralized system of patriarchs, with the assistance of the Supreme Elder's House, and the support of the nine elders."

As soon as these words came out, the scene was completely silent.

As the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official to take office, but this fire is burning too fast, and it will backfire, some people think.

Sure enough, the Supreme Elder who was the first to oppose Jiang Ling's appointment as the patriarch just now shouted at Jiang Ling with a cold face: "Jiang Ling, you just wanted to be a dictator when you became the patriarch. Isn't that too arrogant?"

hum!
Jiang Ling didn't say a word, and in an instant, a wave of true energy burst out, coiled around his fist, punched through the air, and slammed at the talking elder, knocked him upside down and vomited blood, and then sneered: "What do you mean by being arrogant? If you say this, I want to tear you alive. You didn’t know the situation outside, and you came out to threaten Patriarch Jiang Jian, and sent my daughter to the enemy. What is your intention? If it wasn’t Master Lin Hai this time Help, do you think you can still survive until now? Just ask about my daughter, a bunch of you people who don’t know the situation, suddenly ran out to sell the old, pointing fingers, and appointed her without any discussion. Don't you think the fate of my daughter is too much?"

Jiang Lingwo was angry and yelled at many clan elders, thinking about her daughter, his heart was on fire.

"Jiang Ling, you..." Seeing Jiang Ling's attack, several Supreme Elders changed their expressions, but what Jiang Ling said was true. The Chen family had long had the ambition to destroy the Jiang family, and even the allies in the outer city were ready. .

"Pfft!" The elder flew out, spitting out blood, full of horror, with a cold expression, and shouted: "Jiang Ling, you just became the patriarch, are you going to avenge yourself?"

"Public revenge? You deserve it too?" Jiang Ling shook his head and remained silent.

"Okay, stop arguing, just do what Patriarch Jiang Ling said." Jiang He said lightly, then turned and walked out of the meeting room, ignoring the matters involved.

As the patriarch of the clan, Jiang He was the most powerful person in the Jiang family. Once his words came out, no one dared to refute Jiang Ling's decision.

……

In Nuo Da's conference hall, Jiang Ling was the only one left. After he drove away all the elders, he was alone here in a daze, looking at the token of the patriarch in his hand, his thoughts were a little messy.

To be honest, Jiang Ling really didn't expect that he would become the head of the Jiang family in a daze.

"Father! I heard that you have become the patriarch, what's going on..." At this time, Jiang Li's fiery figure ran into the meeting room quickly. He looked at his father with a somewhat vicissitudes of life, felt a pain in his heart, and said what he was about to say They all stopped.

The news that Jiang Ling became the patriarch spread like a storm, and by this time, maybe the entire Jiang family knew about it.

On the way to the conference hall, Jiang Li felt incredible when he heard the news, so he quickened his pace and galloped over.

"Li'er, are you awake?" Seeing his son, Jiang Ling was very excited, and quickly stood up, holding Jiang Li's shoulders tightly with both hands, feeling very excited, but suddenly his smile froze, because his divine sense Unexpectedly, he didn't feel any fluctuations in his son's vitality, and he completely became an ordinary person, worse than before he was abolished. He had cultivated to the third or fourth level of body tempering, and now...

When Jiang Li was in a coma, Jiang Ling used his spiritual thoughts to enter his body and repeatedly checked him many times, but he saw nothing but a hazy atmosphere. He kept hugging his son who had a great adventure and was shrouded in a mysterious halo. Great expectations.

"Li'er, your cultivation has also been abolished?" Jiang Ling's face was pale, and he kept backing away, unable to accept this cruel fact. He was sure that his daughter's cultivation was abolished, but now his son has no cultivation either. Because, and his beloved wife lying in the ice coffin, Jiang Ling couldn't accept all of this.

"No! Aren't I pretty good?" Jiang Li smiled slightly, a majestic aura shot up from him, and he struck a table easily, and it fell apart.

"Hiss... Li'er, where did your power come from? Why do I feel like that power just came out of nowhere." Jiang Ling was quite surprised when he saw his son's condition.

"Father, I'm fine, I just practiced a breath-holding supernatural power to hide the vitality in my body." Jiang Li had to lie in order not to worry his father.

"By the way, how is my mother? She's there now, and I want to go and see her." Jiang Li talked about her mother, her eye circles were hazy, and there was warm liquid flowing in her eyes.

"Your mother, she..." Jiang Ling's voice was melancholy, his expression was vicissitudes, and he told Jiang Li the truth. For a moment, a touch of sadness emanated from Jiang Li and his son, raging in the entire conference hall, abnormal depression.

"Father, take care of your health. The entire Jiang family still needs you to take care of it. I'll go and see my mother."

Jiang Li was very sad, with a sad voice, in order not to cry in front of his father, he hurriedly left and went to the back mountain of the Jiang family, because his mother was there, and Master Lin Hai also lived there, and he would go to her every month The ice and snow vitality was injected into the ice coffin where the mother was lying to protect the ice coffin from melting, because the ice coffin used by her mother was not extremely cold and could not be kept for a long time without melting.
