Among the seven elders present, the first, fourth, and fifth elders are in one faction, the third, sixth, and seventh elders are in another faction, and the remaining eight elders belong to the neutral faction, but most of the time they tend to be more inclined to the patriarch's faction.
The Sixth Elder's words seemed to be protecting the interests of his own faction, so the Third and Seventh Elders did not express any objection.
On the opposite side, a smile of success flashed in the eyes of the Great Elder, because the Sixth Elder had already joined his side.
"Please raise your hands if you agree that the Great Elder should be the clan leader." After the Fifth Elder said this, he was the first to raise his hand.
The Great Elder naturally supported him. He didn't show any reserve at this time. He raised his hand and voted for him calmly.
The Fourth Elder and the Sixth Elder also raised their hands.
In this way, four votes were instantly obtained, and an overwhelming victory was achieved.
The third and seventh elders looked at the sixth elder in astonishment. They did not expect that he would openly betray the clan leader and join the opponent's camp.
The Sixth Elder smiled broadly, not feeling the slightest bit ashamed. He even said to the two men in a seemingly admonishing tone, "Third brother, Seventh brother, he who knows the current situation is a hero."
The Seventh Elder spat at him and left angrily, waving his sleeves.
Every time the Eighth Elder came to the meeting hall, he would sit in the corner like a tool, indifferent to everything else. He didn't care who would be the clan leader. Now that the result was out, he stood up and walked out.
The Great Elder was too lazy to win over or deal with someone like him.
In the end, only the three elders were left.
Just now he was still pretending to be an elder in front of the Great Elder, but now the situation was hopeless. Being stared at by the Great Elder, his expression changed several times, and finally he lowered his head: "Clan Leader."
The Great Elder laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder several times. "Third Uncle really knows how to deal with the current situation. When my father was in trouble, you turned to Second Uncle's camp. Now that Second Uncle is in trouble, you are on my side again. If Second Uncle wakes up and finds out, I'm afraid he will be so angry that he will die."
The third elder felt embarrassed.
The fifth elder glanced at him contemptuously and followed the first elder out.
The power within the Mo family was transferred in this way.
To be on the safe side, the Great Elder prepared a coffin for the clan leader, oh no, the former clan leader, that very day, to put him in it and carry him to the Mo clan's ancestral land for burial.
The former clan leader's eldest son, Mo Qingbai, refused to let him go. "My father is not dead yet, Mo Guangyuan, don't go too far!"
Mo Guangyuan, the Great Elder, was still smiling one second ago, but his expression suddenly turned red the next. He slashed downwards with his finger and knife, "Someone, drag him away!"
In an instant, two men in black came forward like ghosts, trying to grab Mo Qingbai and take him away.
Mo Qingbai was shocked and angry, and resisted the attacks of the two men in black.
Seeing that the two men in black hadn't succeeded for a long time, Mo Guangyuan became impatient and said, "Bring him up."
A little boy of five or six was carried up by men in black. The boy cried loudly, "Grandpa, save me..."
Mo Qingbai's face changed drastically, "Mo Guangyuan, how dare you attack Yuner! Let him go!"
Mo Guangyuan said slowly, "As long as you surrender, I will let him go. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will do to him."
Mo Qingbai's eyes were glaring. "Mo Guangyuan, you beast! Yun'er is still a child! If you dare to touch a hair on her head, the ancestors will not forgive you!"
Mo Guangyuan narrowed his eyes, "Yun'er is such a mischievous kid. She climbed a tree and fell down while trying to rob a bird's nest. What does that have to do with me?"
A fishy-sweet taste rose in Mo Qingbai's throat, and his blood was boiling with anger.
He knew that Mo Guangyuan could do what he said. Even if the ancestor came out of seclusion, Mo Guangyuan would be able to shirk all responsibility. Would the ancestor pursue the matter to the end?
Won't.
As long as the Mo family doesn't fall, the ancestor won't care at all if a few people die, and he won't care who will be the patriarch either.
He only needs the Mo family to hold him high and provide him with all the resources of the family. As for how the fighting goes on below, it will not hinder him in the slightest.
Although the ancestor is the ancestor of the Mo family, he has lived for hundreds of years and has no blood relationship with the current Mo family members. To put it bluntly, the relationship between the two sides is just a relationship based on interests.
The ancestor provided protection to the Mo family, and the Mo family used the strength of the entire clan to worship him.
In the end, Mo Qingbai compromised and was taken away by the men in black and locked up.
As the eldest son of the former patriarch, Mo Qingbai was the leader of the entire second branch when the former patriarch was still unconscious. Now that even he has surrendered, the others dare not resist.
Just as Mo Guangyuan's men put the former clan leader into the coffin and were about to seal it, the Seventh Elder rushed over with a group of people. Among them was Xue Huan, as well as Mo Feizhou and other Mo clan members who were dissatisfied with Mo Guangyuan.
"Mo Guangyuan, if you dare to touch the clan leader today, you will have to crawl over my dead body first!"
The seventh elder brought his men to rescue the clan leader who was nearly sealed in a coffin alive, and confronted Mo Guangyuan.
Mo Guangyuan stared at the Seventh Elder gravely, "Seventh Uncle, do you really want to go against me?"
The Seventh Elder snorted coldly, not giving him any face. "You've murdered our own people with a cruel and merciless heart! If I don't stop you, you might kill me to pieces one day! If you become clan leader, you'll only lead to the destruction of our Mo clan!"
Mo Guangyuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Before he could speak, a man in black suddenly jumped out from behind him and started killing the Seventh Elder.
In the blink of an eye, two people fell in a pool of blood.
Immediately afterwards, other men in black also took action.
The Seventh Elder quickly counterattacked.
The situation suddenly got out of control, with swords and sabers flashing and people falling down one after another.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Mo Guangyuan, how dare you wantonly massacre your people! When our ancestors come out of seclusion, you'll be dead!"
Mo Guangyuan was also confused at this time. He didn't give any orders to the man in black at all!
However, things have come to this point. If he does not kill all the rebels present and silence them, he will be dead just as that person said!
Although the ancestor doesn't mind the intrigues among his subordinates, he will never allow the Mo clan to fight each other!
Because the internal strife consumes the strength of the entire Mo family, it will also indirectly affect his status.
Mo Guangyuan's eyes turned fierce and he called more men in black to join the battlefield.
These people in black were assassins he transferred from the Demon Killer side in order to intimidate the tribe members so that he could smoothly take the position of the tribe leader.
I didn’t expect that it would actually be used.
He originally had no intention of killing people, but it was too late to say that now, and no one else would believe it, so he decided to go all out and kill all the Seventh Elders and others!
He will make some arrangements then, and even if the ancestor comes out, he will be able to fool him.
But he never expected that the people who were killed in the end were people from his own side.
Without those capable killers, Mo Guangyuan was like losing his right-hand man. He turned around and was about to leave, but the next second a knife was placed across his neck.
