Beast Taming Chapter 516: The Beginning of Chaos
At the Shi family, the servants subconsciously avoided the old man's study, because the roaring inside had not stopped since the butler came back.
Crackling!
The servants not far away shrank their heads, thinking that the old master had thrown something. They didn't know why the old master was so angry. The servants looked at the study timidly, lowered their heads and hurried away, hoping not to get involved.
"Waste, what a bunch of waste, a member of the Shi family, was actually bullied like this!" Shi Xiayong roared angrily, not knowing how many years it had been since he was as angry as today. He had been so angry when his father passed the position of the head of the family to his eldest brother. But God gave him a chance. After his eldest brother's grandson fell seriously ill and failed to be treated, he was heartbroken and gave him the position of the head of the family. He went into seclusion and has not come out since then. After so many years, today he tasted the anger of that year again.
The middle-aged man fell to his knees, trembling all over. He no longer had the arrogance he had in Pingdingshan. Now he was as cowardly as a mouse, shivering like a quail.
The middle-aged man had a crow in his mouth, a black bruise on the left side of his face and a bruise on the right side. His face was unrecognizable and his head was swollen like a pig's head. The same was true for the guards around him. They were beaten to a pulp and fell to their knees in fear.
Xia Yong was furious when he saw their appearance. He was extremely angry. He had just lost three deputy captains a few days ago, and the housekeeper he sent out today was beaten into a pig's head. He wanted to kick these people out one by one. It was embarrassing! But reason reminded him not to do so. It was originally done in secret, and the purpose was to hide him. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked, "Did he really say that?"
The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly, like a woodpecker, nodding quickly, "He said this, he said he would not come back even if the Shi family invited him, and he also said that with his current strength, he doesn't need the Shi family's resources. He also said that if he wants to come back, he will come and get it in person, and what is his is his, and none of you can get it. He also said that you, the head of the family, are nothing, and he can crush you to death with one hand like crushing an ant." The middle-aged man added fuel to the fire.
"Is that so?" Shi Xiayong turned his head and stared at the middle-aged man, then glanced at the guards behind him.
"Absolutely true!" said the middle-aged man.
"Yes, yes, he really said that." Many guards nodded quickly.
At that time, Xia Yong frowned and snorted, "Humph, you little bastard, how dare you be so arrogant? Even if his father comes out, he has to call me uncle. Who the hell is he!"
"That's right." The middle-aged man said quickly, "That's what I said at the time. I said that the current head of the family is his second grandfather, so how can he not take good care of him? But he said that no matter how close the second grandfather is, he is not as close as the real grandfather. He said that he only recognizes the real grandfather as the head of the family, and does not recognize you. I was unconvinced and argued with him, so he beat me up like this. Humph, he is simply an uneducated wild child. His father married a great being, and the son born to him is also disrespectful and uneducated."
"Shut up!" Shi Xiayong knew what kind of person this housekeeper was. He could only listen to half of what he said, but even half of it was enough to make him angry. Moreover, the position of the head of the family was a pain in his heart. Now listening to what the middle-aged man said was like rubbing salt into his wounds. He was not very magnanimous, otherwise he would not have passed the position to his brother instead of him. Shi Xiayong said to the middle-aged man: "You'd better not look at the Great Dao creatures with the same eyes as before, because the Three Thousand Great Worlds are about to open up, and we need to unite with the Great Dao creatures. The dark turmoil in the past must be forgotten, otherwise the cooperation will be bad and the disadvantages will outweigh the advantages."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
"However, we are the elders, and we naturally need to teach the younger generation who have gone astray." Shi Xiayong's eyes flashed with cold light. He decided to make this news public to the family members who supported him and use the power of the family to suppress and kill him. The Shi family is one of the twelve great immortal sects. What enemy can't be defeated?
In a secret room in the Shi family.
When Xia Yong announced the news about Shi Yan, his supporting family members were shocked. They could not believe that the child was still alive.
"How is it possible? I saw the injuries that child suffered. How could he still be alive?"
"It's a miracle, it's simply a miracle. When his grandfather took him to seek medical treatment, I followed him. Even the immortals were helpless and said that he could live a happier life for the rest of his life, which meant that he was going to die. How could he survive!"
"Yes, we all thought he was going to die, how come he is alive again?"
Shi Xiayong coughed, and the noisy discussion stopped.
"No need to talk about anything else. No matter what he was like before, the fact is that he is alive now. There is no need to discuss this matter. Now, our question is..." Xia Yong glanced at everyone present, "I know everyone supports me very much, but I don't know what everyone thinks of my grandson Kunpeng."
Everyone looked at each other and knew what he meant.
"I watched Kunpeng grow up. I held him in my arms when he was a child. He is a very sensible and obedient child. He is also very talented. I like him very much." said an old man in the lead. He was a person of the previous generation of Shi Xiayong. When Shi Xiayong's father was still the head of the family, he was the elder at that time. Now, he is the eldest elder of the Shi family. He is very prestigious in the Shi family and has a lot of say.
Seeing the great elder say so, the others also hurriedly said: "Yes, we are also very optimistic about this boy. Maybe he can achieve the status of immortal fifty years ago." Becoming an immortal is the wish of all cultivators. Becoming an immortal is like the golden elixir. It is a hurdle on the road of cultivation, and it is deeper than the hurdle of the golden elixir. I don't know how many people have been blocked before this hurdle. Only by becoming an immortal can you continue to move forward, otherwise you can only stop here until you become a Taoist. Shi Xiayong is now nearly eighty years old. He has stopped at the peak of the Tribulation Period for nearly forty years. He doesn't know how many years it will take to enter which realm. Today, he heard them evaluate his grandson Shi Kunpeng in this way, and his heart was full of joy, which shows that they are very optimistic about his grandson.
"This is what I think. After all, our Shi family is one of the twelve major sects and the leader of all cultivators, so there must be a perfect person in all aspects to serve as the leader, and I think Kunpeng can take on this important task." Shi Xiayong glanced at everyone, "If Shi Yan comes back, the other group of people will definitely make a fuss. Shi Yan has been away from home for so many years, has not received a good education, and is not familiar with family affairs. How can he take on this important task? And everyone knows what Kunpeng has done for the family recently. This is not something that can be learned immediately, but requires years of learning, so we must insist on Kunpeng as the next generation of the head of the family, and we cannot let another group of people drag the Shi family into the abyss for their own selfish desires."
His cold eyes swept around, "So, for the future of our Shi family, we must make sacrifices. I think my brother would agree with me if he knew."
The others sneered in their hearts. He had said such a long speech, just to let his grandson take the position of the head of the family? To kill other people's grandsons for his own grandson, he really deserves to be called Shi Xiayong.
But I can only think about it in my heart and dare not say it out loud. Maybe if I say it out loud, I will never be able to walk out of this door today.
"Now let's vote." Shi Xiayong looked around, "Raise your hands if you agree to sacrifice Shi Yan for the future of the family."
He raised his hands first, then closed his eyes.
The rest of the people looked at each other, but no one dared to be the first to raise their hand.
"The head of the family really cares about the family." The elder raised his hand with a smile.
With someone taking the lead, everyone felt more confident and raised their hands one after another.
Shi Xiayong opened his eyes and smiled happily, "Okay, unanimous approval, everyone is a pillar who cares about the family. In this case, let's get started. One day when my Shi family becomes the leader of the Twelve Great Immortal Sects, we will not forget your statement today!"
Xia Yong had someone bring wine and a white jade cup, pricked his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood to drip into the wine, and said, "Come on, everyone drop your blood into the wine, and then everyone drink it, and the contract will be completed."
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Shi Xiayong to be so ruthless that he even wanted to sign a contract! Wouldn't this cut off their escape route? If Shi Kunpeng failed one day, their support for Shi Kunpeng would be exposed. This contract must have something to prove it!
Shi Xiayong looked at the faces of the crowd and snorted, "Don't you even plan to do something as trivial as this?"
The Great Elder looked at everyone and said, "Since you have entered this meeting room, you have the awareness of full support. I will naturally do as you are told." He forced out a drop of blood and dripped it into the wine.
Everyone had no choice but to do the same and drip blood.
Shi Xiayong was satisfied with the result and poured the wine into everyone's cups. Then he raised his cup and said, "I wish the Shi family will reach the top under the leadership of Shi Kunpeng!"
"I wish the Shi family will reach the peak under the leadership of Shi Kunpeng!"
"The ceremony is over, the contract is done!"
A large number of Shi family disciples have been deployed in various teleportation arrays in Tianmen Domain to prevent Shi Yan from sneaking into Tianmen Domain and to prevent people from another force in the Shi family from leaving Tianmen Domain.
"What do you mean? How dare I stop you?" Shi Xin was stopped by the Shi family disciples in front of the 36th teleportation array and was not allowed to move forward.
"Please forgive us, Second Miss. We had no choice but to do this!" said the disciple of the Shi family.
"Hmph, what a last resort, is that old man Shi Xiayong really planning to force me to marry into Tianya Xingge?" She had already heard the rumor that Shi Xiayong was planning to let him go to marry. In fact, this proposal had been made three years ago, but it was only because the forces that supported the former head of the family tried their best to protect it that it survived. I didn't expect it to be proposed again now. Some people came to familiarize themselves with the things in Shi Xin's hands so that they could accept them after Shi Xin left.
"Second Miss, we don't know about this." The disciple of the Shi family said, without a trace of disrespect in his eyes, blocking him. If she didn't retreat, there was a tendency to fight. They were all the direct forces of Shi Xiayong and Shi Kunpeng, and they were at odds with the other faction represented by Shi Xin. There was no question of respect. What's more, Shi Xin was not known for her fighting ability. She was only in the transformation stage. Shi Xin was most famous for her management ability. The entire Shi family was managed in an orderly manner by her. Many businesses that disappeared due to decline were able to persist and prosper because of her existence. In this respect, no other woman of the same age in the circle could compare with her. She was even known as the queen in the circle.
However, the title of queen still carries some weight outside, but it means nothing in front of the Shi family disciples who are blocking the way. They are determined to take her back.
"Miss, please go, or we will ask you to go back."
"How dare you!"
"Why not? To tell you the truth, even if we ask you to go back today, no one will dare to say anything." The leading disciple sneered.
"Then you guys try it." A voice came from behind, and Shi Xin's eyes showed joy.
