The clan leader Chu zhongyun only cares about the major events in the clan and spends the rest of his time on cultivation. Therefore, he handles the large and small affairs of the whole Chu family, which virtually improves his prestige and influence in the clan.

It is precisely because of his current status that Chu Hongwei is arrogant and arrogant, and he is full of confidence in the position of election successor.

However, the second elder himself knows very well that although his power seems great, this is on the premise that the patriarch and the eldest elder do not make a statement. If two people make statements at the same time, his power will be directly reduced by more than half.

What's more, there is an old ancestor behind the Chu family. If the old ancestor speaks, let alone him, even the patriarch and elder can't object.

It was precisely because he knew the inside story of all kinds of families that the second elder decided not to let Chu Hongwei compete for his successor. However, in order to be busy with the ceremony of offering sacrifices to his ancestors, he forgot to tell Chu Hongwei in advance to give up the idea of competition and lower his body to make friends with Chu Zhongtian.

Alas! Looking at the angry and unwilling look in his son's eyes, the second elder couldn't help sighing in his heart. At the same time, he also decided to ask his son to apologize to Chu Zhongtian afterwards.

"People, don't leave for the time being. I have another very important thing to announce." Seeing that the people in the square had the idea of leaving after he announced the end of the ceremony, he quickly gave a voice to remind them.

"People, I have been the head of the Chu family for 12 years. In these 12 years, I dare not say how much glory I have achieved with the Chu family, but I haven't let the Chu family fall." First, I made a self-evaluation and left time for everyone to think.

When everyone had digested it, Chu Tianyun continued: "at this time, the development of the family has reached a critical period. In order to make the family more cohesive and radiate strong power at once, after consultation with the elders, I decided to announce the successor of the family in advance!"

As the voice of Chu Tianyun fell, the people on the whole square suddenly roared up. According to the tradition of the Chu family, it is generally five years before the patriarch is about to abdicate.

It took five years to train the successor so that he could succeed the patriarch smoothly. At the beginning, Chu Tianyun came like this.

In the hundreds of years of inheritance of the Chu family, the patriarch chose the successor in advance only once. That was 300 years ago. The current patriarch of the Chu family had no choice but to choose the successor in advance because of an accident.

Did something happen to Chu Tianyun?

But seeing Chu Tianyun's red face at this time, it's not too much to say that his life is not long, but that he will live a long life. Since nothing happened to him, how could he choose his successor in advance against the agreement of the family for hundreds of years?

Among the people present, except for a few who knew the news in advance, all the others had an incredible expression. Even several old people began to interrogate their lineal children and what happened to them.

Chu Tianyun had expected the shocked reaction of the people in the square. In fact, he didn't expect to choose his successor in advance. Because in the hundreds of years of inheritance of the Chu family, there are also those who continue to serve as clan leaders after breaking through the qi transformation period, even for more than ten years.

This time, it was the intention of the ancestors to select the successor in advance. Chu Tianyun could not violate it. Moreover, the ancestors directly designated Chu Zhongtian as the successor, which surprised Chu Tianyun and willingly accepted it.

"Elder, the next successor will be announced by you!" Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Chu Tianyun stepped back and asked the respected elder to announce the name of the successor.

"Cough...!" Seeing the mess below, the elder frowned and coughed hard.

When the crowd was quiet, the elder opened his mouth and announced: "after the discussion between the patriarch and our patriarchs, the choice of successor is finally decided...!"

At this point, the elder suddenly paused and looked at the people below. Then he opened his mouth and said, "Chu Zhongtian!"

"Impossible!"

"How could it be him?"

"Great, young master Tian has finally become the leader of the young clan!"

"Is there no one in the family? How can you choose a suckling boy to be the head of the young clan!"

"I disagree!"

As the elder announced that the successor was the empress of Chu, the whole square suddenly seemed to burst into a pot. There were voices of opposition, approval, doubt and indifference.

Among them, those who support Chu Zhongtian's becoming a minority patriarch are the children of the Chu family of the younger generation, those who oppose Chu Zhongtian's becoming a minority patriarch are the younger generation, and the voice of doubt is the middle-aged generation.

The elder and Chu Tianyun have already considered the reaction of the people, so they are not in a hurry and let the following disputes or noise.

"I disagree!" Seeing that the patriarch and many elders did not explain why they chose Chu Zhongtian as the minority patriarch, Chu Hongwei took a few steps forward and objected fiercely.

"Why not? Why not? How dare you not?" Seeing that the challenger was the only son of the second elder, the eldest elder frowned and asked three questions in a bad tone. At the same time, doubts and doubts turned to the two elders.

Because the decision to choose Chu Zhongtian as the young patriarch was discussed by the patriarch and their 11 inner patriarchs. The two elders voted for it at that time. How come at this time, his son was the first to jump out against it.

Facing the unhappy look of the elder, the second elder couldn't explain, so he had to smile helplessly and then lower his head.

"Elder, why am I not satisfied? How dare I not? Then I'll explain to you why I'm not satisfied." At this time, it is about his future and destiny. Chu Hongwei is bold and said in a fierce tone.

"Why don't you agree? In terms of strength, I have reached the peak level of three levels in the body refining period. I can break through the four levels in the body refining period in only three months at most. But Chu Zhongtian is only six levels in the Qi refining period. Why can he surpass me?"

Chu Hongwei's first explanation immediately won the support of many people, because they also felt that Chu Zhongtian's cultivation was too low. If it is said that the successor of the Chu family is only a hairy boy in the period of Qi refining, I'm afraid it will damage the prestige of the Chu family.

"Why don't you disagree? I'm a direct descendant of the Chu family. My father is a high-ranking second elder with incomparable dignity. What about Chu Zhongtian? He's just a descendant of the family and an orphan without father and mother. Why should he surpass me?"
