Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two Daoist auras at the Golden Immortal level were about to collide.

But at that moment, Liu Ruyan suddenly raised her hand.

With a snap, the two streams of Daoist energy were shattered simultaneously.

A long, emerald-green whip had appeared in Liu Ruyan's hand without her noticing.

The long whip is woven from willow branches and is covered with patterns.

Its overwhelming power was almost overflowing.

This long whip is the token of the Liu family patriarch.

"Who gave you the audacity to lay a hand on me inside the ancestral hall? Kneel down, all of you!"

Liu Ruyan's voice was like a thunderclap, echoing in the ancestral hall.

The long whip he raised in his hand was directly connected to the entire ancestral land formation.

With the power of the grand formation amplified, she began to resemble the Goddess Liu.

Its undisguised aura gradually rose to the level of the ninth level of the Golden Immortal realm.

Liu Rulong didn't hesitate and immediately knelt on the ground.

All eyes in the hall were on Liu Qinghe.

"Liu Ruyan, don't take the clan leader's hand..."

Liu Qinghe wanted to argue, but Liu Pingjiang interrupted him directly, "Kneel down!"

The clan head represents the supreme authority of the Liu family.

What he wanted was the continuation of power.

If Liu Qinghe does not kneel today, his authority will inevitably be damaged even if he ascends to the position of clan leader in the future.

That is why Liu Qinghe had to kneel down.

You win!

Liu Qinghe glared fiercely at Liu Ruyan, then reluctantly knelt down.

"Ruyan, it's time for you to step down."

The Liu family cannot perish in your hands.

"The Liu family will not perish!"

Liu Ruyan's answer remained resolute.

"But the truth is, you are leading the Liu family toward destruction."

Liu Pingjiang remained unmoved, as if stating a fact: "If you hadn't approved, God Liu wouldn't have made the breakthrough rashly."

Now that she has failed to break through, it can be said that it is all your fault.

"If you hadn't insisted on your own way, the Liu family wouldn't be facing this crisis today, and the Old Ancestor of the Book and Sword wouldn't have died in battle elsewhere."

"You should know that I have a veto power."

Your intention to oust me requires the approval of God Liu.

"If Liu Shen doesn't give her opinion, you can't touch me."

"In that case, go and invite the Willow Goddess!"

"The Willow Goddess is currently in seclusion!"

"Even in seclusion, one can still spare some mental energy."

Liu Pingjiang did not retreat an inch.

"How dare you disrespect the Goddess of Willow?"

Liu Ruyan frowned and raised her long whip.

"I have never disrespected the Goddess of Willow!"

Liu Pingjiang vehemently denied it.

"Then let's wait for the Willow Goddess to emerge from seclusion!"

Liu Ruyan said coldly.

"I can't wait!"

Liu Pingjiang said firmly, "The Liu family is now facing a life-or-death situation!"

"Why didn't I see it as a matter of life and death?"

Liu Ruyan countered with a question.

You'll see soon enough!

Liu Pingjiang moved his hand inside his sleeve.

He crushed a magical artifact.

At the same time, on the immortal ship, the jade piece in Wan Gu Nian's hand shattered.

"Rhinoceros King!"

As he uttered those two words, the Rhinoceros King, who had transformed into a burly man on the immortal ship, twisted his shoulders.

The next second, he disappeared from the celestial ship.

roar--

The barbarian roar echoed across the sky.

A dark shadow, obscuring the sky and the sun.

It has a jet-black horn, resembling a mountain made of obsidian.

The sharp edges covering the mountain peaks were clearly magical runes imbued with immense power.

The Rhinoceros King's true form exudes an indescribable aura of malevolence.

When its terrifying true form appeared, the array patterns throughout the entire Liu family ancestral land seemed to be activated simultaneously.

The interconnected arrays emitted a dazzling array of colors.

The powerful formation that could have annihilated an ordinary Golden Immortal failed to even cause a ripple when it struck the Rhinoceros King's body.

Instead, the great arrays that connect heaven and earth were the first to have a hole punched in them by the Rhinoceros King's true form.

Amidst the mountains of the ancestral land, bursts of blood mist exploded.

Some of these people died because they couldn't withstand the pressure of the Rhinoceros King, while others perished when they were caught in the shattered formation.

Many more are struggling.

"Rhinoceros King, what do you want to do!"

"presumptuous!"

From the ancestral hall, one after another, the Golden Immortals of the Liu family flew out.

The expected angry roars were actually few and far between.

Half of the Golden Immortals in the Liu family had already been won over by Liu Pingjiang.

They were prepared for everything that is happening now.

The appearance of the Rhinoceros King further solidified their belief.

Most of the remaining half of the Golden Immortals understood the situation the moment they emerged.

They knew very well that the Rhinoceros King was part of Liu Pingjiang's gang.

Few people noticed the celestial boat hovering not far away.

Compared to the Immortal Boat, the Rhinoceros King is clearly more eye-catching.

The few Golden Immortals present were also somewhat speechless at this moment.

However, Liu Ruyan ignored the Rhinoceros King and looked directly towards the direction of the immortal boat.

That person was so dazzling.

Even Liu Ruyan felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Eternal Age!

How could it be him!

In Liu Ruyan's mind, the people who would support the Ye family were probably the wolves and tigers around them.

At most, there might be other branches involved.

But she never imagined that the real mastermind would be him.

Wanzang Chamber of Commerce is one of the four main chambers of the Chamber of Commerce.

He commands a vast number of powerful figures and controls countless resources.

Compared to the Wanzang Chamber of Commerce, the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce is like a mudfish compared to a real dragon.

The only trump card is the existence of Liu Shen.

But no matter how strong Liu Shen is, there are some people she can't afford to mess with.

After the president of the Wanzang Chamber of Commerce failed to break through to the Great Luo realm and died, a power struggle ensued.

All three vice presidents have a chance to rise to the top.

Wan Gu Nian was one of the three vice presidents.

He is not only powerful, but also has the support of his father, the Grand Elder.

It can be said that among the three vice presidents, Wan Gu Nian has the best chance of becoming the president of Wan Zang Chamber of Commerce.

How could Liu Ruyan have imagined that such an important figure would take notice of the mere Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce?

"Please forgive me for not being able to greet you properly, Mr. Wan!"

Liu Ruyan suppressed her distracting thoughts and bowed in the direction of Wan Gu Nian.

The three words "Chairman Wan" drowned out the surrounding noise.

Even Liu Rulong, who was stubbornly defiant and full of resentment, had a blank stare at this moment.

There are many people with the surname Wan, but there are not many who can be called Chairman Wan!

The Golden Immortals looked at each other, clearly not expecting such a person to appear.

"Ruyan, it's been a long time!"

Wan Gu nodded slightly, a faint smile always on his face.

"It has been a hundred years since we last parted!"

Liu Ruyan answered respectfully.

"Yes! A hundred years have passed."

Wan Gu Nian sighed, "A hundred years have passed, and mortals have changed beyond recognition."

But for us, it's just a fleeting moment.

What I said a hundred years ago still holds true today.

If you agree, you will remain the head of the Liu family and the president of the Liuye Chamber of Commerce.

After Wan Gu Nian finished speaking his last sentence, Liu Pingjiang's smile froze.

What was said a hundred years ago?

Could it be that Wan Gu Nian has taken a liking to Liu Ru Yan?

This can't be that dramatic!

A raging storm surged within Liu Pingjiang's heart.
