Supreme Excalibur

Chapter 15 I am the Patriarch
The fire in the Duan family compound burned for three full days. After the fire was extinguished, Duan Lang and others stood outside the fire scene in white.The once glorious Duan family has become a thing of the past, and the future of the Duan family is in the hands of the few of them.

"Duan Lang, don't be too sad, we must avenge this blood feud!"

Duan Zheng stood beside Duan Lang, and behind them, Duan Ting, Duan Zhan, Duan Fei'er, and Duan Ling'er stood side by side.After that, there were 23 surviving Duan family guards.

"Actually, I'm not very sad!" Duan Lang had a slight smile on his face, "If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come. The home is destroyed, people are gone, but hope is still there!"

boom--

In the middle of the fire, the bones of several rows of houses fell to the ground with a deafening sound, which also suppressed Duan Lang's voice.However, during this period of time, when the rogues focused their eyes on the flying dust, they found that there was a human shadow in the dust.

Not one person, not a few people, but many people.

The dust finally dispersed, and hundreds of people stood everywhere on the ruins of the Duan family compound.

"What's going on? That's—"

Long An, who was hiding in the dark, saw the crowd on the ruins, his eyes widened.Those people are all members of the Duan family, and none of them died. What's going on?Long An felt that his head was not big enough, he turned his head to stare at the members of the Royal Anbu next to him, and said sharply: "Stay here, I will report!"

Many members of the Duan family are still alive, and the emperor must be notified of this news as soon as possible.Long An's figure disappeared in a flash, and he went straight to the palace.

"Duan Lang, look, they, they are all still alive!"

On the ruins, the main members of the Duan family were all alive, even Duan Mu, Duan Lang's No. [-] follower, was alive and well.

Before Duan Lang could speak, Duan Zheng and the others rushed over quickly, looking for their mothers.Duan Lang, on the other hand, stood there, not knowing what it was like.Although the Duan family is big, but the people who really treat him well, besides old man Duan, is Duan Xueer.However, now that Old Master Duan has gone, Duan Xueer has also returned to her sect.Duan Lang didn't have any worries about the Duan family who survived the catastrophe.

"Master—"

Duan Mu yelled, and rushed from the ruins to Duan Lang's side, with an excited expression on his face: "Master, I knew you would be safe, great, great!"

"Duan Mu, what's going on here?"

"Master, that night, the family was raided. The family guards couldn't resist it. Although Anbu's reinforcements came, they were very few in number. Therefore, the elder ordered emergency evacuation, and all family members retreated into the Duan family's Refuge. The Duan Family Refuge is a different space. Although the place is small, it is very safe. However, many people in the family were killed that night! By the way, young master, where is the old man?"

"Grandpa has left!"

Duan Lang felt a little sad. Thinking of the dead old man, he let out a sigh of relief, looked at Duan Mu, and said, "Duan Mu, I'm going to leave the family for a while, would you like to come with me?"

"I am the number one servant of the young master. I will go wherever the young master goes!"

"Okay, let's go after I deal with the family affairs!"

The Duan family, the glorious Duan family, does not currently belong to Duan Lang.Although Duan Lang was recognized by Anbu that night.However, the Duan family was thought to be extinct at the time.Today, most of the Duan family members are alive, not to mention my own uncles and uncles, the elders of the Duan family alone will not recognize themselves.

When everyone in the Duan family was rejoicing for the rest of their lives, Emperor Long Zhanye came to the ruins of the Duan family with a large number of guards.

"Join Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Under the guidance of the elder of the Duan family, all the children of the Duan family saluted the emperor respectfully.

"Elder Duan Ye, I express my condolences to the Duan family for such a catastrophe. I have sent a large number of people to search for the whereabouts of the criminals. I will definitely give the Duan family an explanation."

"Your Majesty, you are serious!" Duan Ye, as the elder of the Duan family, has a high art of speaking. "Your Majesty, the Duan family is in trouble this time. The attackers are not from the forces of our Fire Dragon Empire. These people are well-equipped and well-trained, and they should be regular troops. Your Majesty, please also strengthen the border defense forces, and at the same time, other countries will take the opportunity to attack."

"Thank you, Great Elder, for your reminder, I will arrange it!" Long Zhanye looked at the hundreds of people at the scene, and said, "Now that the Duan family has been destroyed, it will take time to rebuild. During this period, I can only wrong you for a while." Going to live in the Royal Courtyard temporarily."

"Your Majesty's kindness, everyone in the Duan family is grateful!"

"Okay, I won't disturb your conversation. It's just that there is one more thing. Mr. Duan Qianqiu has gone. The Duan family needs a person in charge. Please settle it as soon as possible!"

"According to the order!"

Long Zhanye came fast and walked even faster.Before leaving, Long Zhanye looked deeply at Duan Lang who was standing alone.At that time, Duan Lang had only Duan Mu by his side, and he looked rather shabby indeed.

Hundreds of people marched to a courtyard belonging to the royal family, and the servants who stayed in the courtyard had already received orders and arranged everything early.

When everyone in the Duan family made arrangements, the great elder Duan Ye immediately called all the elders, as well as Duan Lang's uncle, to discuss the candidate for the future Patriarch.

"What do you think about the selection of the master?"

"What else do you think? Do it according to what your father thought before he was alive!" Although Duan Lang's second uncle was dissatisfied with Duan Lang's letting his precious son Duan Zheng be a follower, he was a very filial person.With old man Duan gone, his last wish should be carried out. "So, I think it's no problem for Duan Lang's nephew to inherit the position of Patriarch!"

"I object!"

It was Duan Lang's seventh uncle who was speaking, and also the youngest son of the old man, who was only six years older than Duan Lang.

Uncle Duan Qi stood up and said solemnly: "If our Duan family had not suffered this raid, then there would be absolutely no problem for Duan Lang's nephew to inherit the position of patriarch. But now is an extraordinary period, and we need a capable and experienced Someone is here to lead us through this difficult time, otherwise, the glory of the Duan family will be ruined in our hands."

"I agree with Lao Qi!" Uncle Duan expressed his opinion.

"What do other people think?"

Duanye didn't express his opinion, acting like the host of the meeting.

The second elder of the Duan family, who was sitting in Duan Ye's starting position, stroked his beautiful beard, opened his mouth and said, "I think Duan Lang is a good kid, and he can be a candidate for the Patriarch!"

The third elder said: "I think what Xiao Qi said makes sense. The Duan family is now at a critical moment. If they can't pass this hurdle, I'm afraid the Duan family of the Fire Dragon Empire will become history. Take action against us, but those other families may not be able to make trouble."

"Can I say a few words?"

Looking at the discussion of the elders present, Duan Lang was really not in the mood to listen to them.Standing up, he said, "Everyone here is my elders. No matter in terms of seniority or age, Duan Lang is a latecomer. But, the ancients said, do your part. Today's Duan family is indeed in a precarious state. At that time, a capable and experienced person was indeed needed to lead. However, have you elders thought about another question, why did the Duan family suffer such a disaster?"

"why?"

A question from Duan Lang immediately silenced everyone present, and then started chattering.The Duan family is in the Fire Dragon Empire. It is a colossal family. Even the royal family has to be careful.But such a big family was burned to ashes overnight.Although most of the family members were saved, no one could deny the fact that the Duan family was destroyed.

"No one knows?" Duan Lang looked at the people present, "You don't know, but I do!"

"The size of our Duan family has made the imperial family have a grudge against us. Now, after this catastrophe, it is what the imperial family wants to see. No emperor would like to have a family in his country that can compete with the imperial power Existence. Therefore, at this time, what we need is not a Patriarch who will lead us to greater glory, but a Patriarch who, on the surface, will cause the family to decline, and in the following days, cause the family to split."

"Be wise and protect yourself?" Duan Ye stared at Duan Lang. Is this really a good-for-nothing?Can have such a clear understanding of the family, such a person, is it really useless?
Duan Lang nodded, and said: "Yes, it is wise and safe. The Duan family is too powerful, and this is what the royal family does not want to see. Otherwise, how can external forces attack our Duan family without revealing any flaws in the Fire Dragon Empire?"

"Xiaolang, do you mean that the royal family also has a share?"

"I didn't say it!"

Duan Lang is not a fool. Whoever says this kind of thing will be half of the five hundred!
"Three nights ago, I was recognized by Anbu, and I am the head of the family. Now, I still want to say it again, I am the head of the family!" Duan Lang did not explain anything, but categorically dropped such words, I It's the head of the house!
"I have no objection!" Grand Elder Duan Ye stated, approving Duan Lang's position as Patriarch.

Second Uncle Duan looked exactly like this, and raised his voice: "That's it, I have to go back to sleep. I've been sleepy for the past three days!"

Among the elders' group, the first elder expressed his approval, and among Duan Lang's uncles, the second uncle Duan was the oldest and also expressed his approval.The matter was settled like this, but Uncle Duan's eyes clearly flashed unwillingness, as well as Uncle Duan and the second elder.

Duan Lang saw everything in his eyes, but didn't point it out.This is the effect he wants. He doesn't think these people will agree with the previous reasoning.However, that's not the problem.As long as someone is dissatisfied and makes trouble, the future of the Duan family will be safer, and he will be able to walk away without any worries.

To marry the little princess Long Ling'er in one year is a task that I must complete if I want to save my life.And if you want to marry the little princess, you are only a swordsman at the third level of bronze, that's not enough, even if you become the head of the Duan family, it's the same.

Therefore, improving one's own strength is a top priority.
