ah?
Is he trying to break through to a higher level?
Liu Shen stared blankly at Li Fan, never expecting him to be so bold.
His understanding was clearly insufficient, and his foundation was clearly inadequate, yet he still began to break through.
So that's what "no taboos" means.
That's incredibly arrogant.
My path is not lonely!
After regaining her senses, Liu Shen's body shone with divine power.
The entity that supports the heavens and the earth stabilizes the world it has expanded.
......
clang--
clang--
clang--

At the same time, urgent bells rang out from the ancestral home of the Liu family.
What happened?
Who is ringing the bell?
"Nine tolls of the bell, a matter of life and death?"
"Quickly, go to the ancestral hall."
Within the ancestral land, bursts of energy emanated.
These vital energies all belonged to the cultivators of the Liu family who were in seclusion.
Each one is a Golden Immortal.
A rough count reveals no fewer than a hundred statues.
In the outside world, apart from the lack of combat power at the Great Luo realm, the Liu family's combat power below the Great Luo realm is comparable to that of a regional overlord.
......
In the ancestral hall, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes.
The ancestral clock is located at the deepest point.
The bell has been erected for so many years, but the Liu family has almost never rung it.
The current situation is clearly not tense enough to warrant ringing the alarm bell.
The enemy did not reach the ancestral homeland of the Liu family.
Then the reason why the bell is ringing becomes very clear.
Someone became a traitor.
Of course, the disappointment was only momentary, and Liu Ruyan quickly calmed down.
A strong wind reveals the strength of the grass, and time reveals the true character of a person.
In ordinary times, when things are going smoothly, it's hard to tell who is loyal and who is treacherous, but now it's a good time to see clearly.
It's time for the Liu family to rise from the ashes and rebuild.
......
Outside the ancestral land of the Liu family, a celestial boat hovered.
"Liu Pingjiang warmly welcomes President Wan and all fellow Daoists!"
The elder Liu Pingjiang of the Liu family clan had already taken control of the entire entrance.
Outside the ancestral land, all was peaceful and serene.
The grand formation that the Liu family had spent countless years building never had a chance to be activated.
On the hovering celestial ship, Wan Gu Nian stood proudly at the bow.
Even he couldn't help but smile when he saw the Liu family's ancestral land so close at hand.
This trip went more smoothly than I expected.
However, all of this is to be expected.
If he himself couldn't force the Liu family to fall apart, then that would be abnormal.
"No need for formalities!"
Wan Gu Nian gently flicked his sleeve, and Liu Ping Jiang, who had been bowing his head, quickly stood up.
......
In the ancestral hall, Liu Ruyan sat in the first chair, symbolizing the head of the Liu family.
Nearly half of the seats in the hall were already occupied.
"Ruyan, what's the situation now?"
"The Dao Bell tolls nine times, signifying life and death, yet why can't I sense the aura of battle?"
"Where is Patriarch Pingjiang? Why hasn't he shown himself?"
"Have you notified Goddess Liu? Why hasn't she come out yet?"
These Golden Immortals clearly didn't understand the situation. Liu Ruyan remained silent, simply noting down everyone's expressions.
Liu Rulong stood silently beside Liu Ruyan.
He was actually quite puzzled, but when he arrived, Liu Ruyan specifically instructed him not to say or do anything, just to observe.
Although he didn't quite understand, he unconditionally trusted his older sister.
"The elders of this great clan are experienced."
“The Wuling clan is old and experienced.”
"The Qinghe people are old and experienced."
One announcement after another came from afar.
Then it progressed rapidly, eventually echoing throughout the ancestral hall.
The names of dozens of Golden Immortal Clan elders appeared amidst orderly chanting.
Even Liu Rulong, the least experienced among them, could sense the unusual meaning behind it.
How come these clan elders arrived at the same time as if they had planned it all along?
Just as he was wondering, figures appeared outside the ancestral hall.
Liu Pingjiang took the lead.
The other clan elders lined up behind him in order of their rank.
In the distance, one can vaguely see a fairy boat hovering in the air.
There seemed to be another group of people on the fairy ship.
Thump—
A muffled thud interrupted Liu Rulong's thoughts.
Liu Pingjiang took the lead and stepped into the ancestral hall.
This kick seemed to be intentional.
The heavy impact echoed throughout the ancestral hall.
"Greetings, Elder!"
Although the group of Golden Immortals in the Ancestral Temple Hall did not understand why, they still stood up and paid their respects.
In terms of strength, Liu Pingjiang is a powerful Golden Immortal at the eighth level.
In terms of status, he was the eldest patriarch of the Liu family, second only to the current patriarch Liu Ruyan, the deceased third patriarch of the Liu family Liu Shujian, and the rarely seen Liu Shen.
Even in the ancestral homeland of the Liu family, his prestige was greater than that of Liu Ruyan.
The reason is simple: he has been stationed in his ancestral homeland for many years.
Liu Ruyan, on the other hand, was in charge of managing all the affairs of the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
Who will ring the bell of the Way?
At the head of the table, Liu Ruyan, who was seated, asked softly.
Her calm voice carried an unquestionable authority.
The greetings of the Golden Immortals were casually interrupted by a single sentence from her.
"I had someone knock on it!"
Just then, Liu Qinghe stepped forward, bypassing the crowd.
Today, he specially wore a bright red Taoist robe.
His radiant spirit goes without saying.
His words and actions silenced many of the clan elders in the hall.
But some people frowned and shouted, "Qinghe, don't be ridiculous!"
"Elder of Qinghe, please watch your attitude."
"You bastard, what right do you have to send someone to ring the Dao bell?"
"Liu Qinghe..."
"Shut up, all of you!"
These reprimands had barely begun when Liu Qinghe abruptly interrupted them.
"The reason for ringing the Dao bell today is to remove Liu Ruyan from her position as clan leader."
Her strength was weak and her prestige insufficient. In addition, her trip to Tongcheng resulted in the death of the Old Ancestor of the Book and Sword, putting the Liu family in an unfavorable situation.
She is no longer qualified to be the head of the Liu family, and I propose that Liu Ruyan be removed from the position of head of the Liu family.
Who's in favor, and who's opposed?
Liu Qinghe surveyed his surroundings, his voice clear and his attitude extremely assertive.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the elders in the hall changed drastically.
I agree!
I second that!
Before they could speak, voices of agreement came from inside the hall.
The elders of the Liu family standing behind Liu Pingjiang had clearly already chosen their sides.
A coup!
The two words flashed through the minds of the Liu family elders who were originally sitting in the hall.
The majority of people who were initially indignant have now fallen silent.
"You insolent fools! The position of Liu family patriarch was bestowed upon us by the God of Liu himself. How dare you question it?"
Liu Rulong, with his fiery temper, couldn't tolerate it on the spot.
He stepped forward, glaring ahead, and said, "In the years since my sister became the head of the Liu family, the cultivation resources of each branch and lineage have increased year by year."
You bunch of ingrates really benefited from this, and now you're turning your backs on us, aren't you?"
"Disrespectful to elders! Who gave you the audacity!"
Liu Qinghe's cold eyes flashed with lightning, and he made his move as he spoke.
"You've become arrogant after gaining power. I'd like to see who gave you that confidence!"
