After a long pause, Shangguan Xingyun let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, "Is that Grand Commander Yang Cheng of the Zhenwu Hall really that strong? Does he have the power to overturn the entire martial arts world?"
Song Joong-ki solemnly said, "It's definitely stronger than you can imagine! It's like a celestial being descended to earth, and it has even surpassed the ultimate in martial arts!"
You absolutely cannot imagine the Grand Commander's strength without seeing it for yourself.
You should know the strength of my ancestor Song Ke. His Heavenly Blade technique is superb, and he has even reached the point of becoming one with the blade.
As a result, when he fought the Grand Commander, he was completely suppressed, and even the Hundred Battles Blade, which had been forged from countless famous swords, was shattered.
In short, you will never have any regrets working under the Grand Commander.
Shangguan Xingyun gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I'm willing to follow the Grand Commander!"
"What I seek is not the position of head of the Shangguan family, but this pent-up resentment in my heart!"
Song Zhongji closed his folding fan and said with a big smile, "Don't worry, Brother Shangguan, it won't be long before you get rid of this grudge."
People who betray others often have this mentality of trying to drag others down with them.
It's as if if you've become a traitor, everyone else has become a traitor too, and only then can you prove the correctness of your choice.
Song Joong-ki felt incredibly comfortable dragging Shangguan Xingyun into this mess.
Shangguan Xingyun tidied herself up, making sure she wasn't in such a disheveled state, before following Song Zhongji to see Yang Cheng.
"My lord, this is Shangguan Xingyun of the Shangguan family."
When Shangguan Xingyun first met Yang Cheng, he was slightly shocked by Yang Cheng's youth.
However, he immediately knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said, "Your subordinate, Shangguan Xingyun, is willing to follow you, sir, and only asks that you give me justice!"
Yang Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Stand up. There's no need for so much formality inside the Zhenwu Hall."
Join my Zhenwu Hall, and I'll give you the justice you desire.
Next, I will take action against the Shangguan family. What do you need me to do to become the head of the Shangguan family?
Shangguan Xingyun gritted his teeth and said, "All I need is for you, Grand Commander, to kill Shangguan Wei!"
Shangguan Wei is the strongest in the Shangguan family, and his word carries great weight within the family.
As long as Shangguan Wei is killed, the Shangguan family will be leaderless in an instant. At that time, I can step forward and rightfully take over the position of family head.
In terms of strength, none of the elders of the Shangguan family can match me. Moreover, over the years, those elders have all recognized me as the young master.
In terms of seniority, I have long been involved in various affairs of the Shangguan family, and taking over the position of family head would not be difficult for me.
The two children left behind by Shangguan Wei are no match for me. So, once Shangguan Wei is dead, the position of family head is mine for the taking!
Yang Cheng nodded and said, "Alright, you go back to the Shangguan family first, and then I will take action."
Shangguan Xingyun immediately rushed back to the Shangguan family, but as soon as he returned to the family, he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Previously, those clansmen had been somewhat polite to him on the surface, after all, he was still nominally the young master of the Shangguan family.
However, his clansmen were somewhat distant from him, and some even looked at Shangguan Xingyun with a strange expression.
"Young Master... the Patriarch and several elders are here and are calling you over."
A clansman came over and called out to Shangguan Xingyun, but suddenly sighed and didn't say anything more.
Shangguan Xingyun followed the other party into the council hall, bowed calmly, and said, "Greetings, Patriarch and Elders."
Sitting in the center was Shangguan Wei, who was over fifty years old. He had a square and masculine appearance and exuded an air of authority without being angry.
Hearing this, he frowned and said, "What, you don't even call me father anymore? I raised you all these years for nothing!"
Then Shangguan Wei snorted coldly and said, "You unfilial son, what exactly have you been doing all this time?"
Spending the night in a brothel and indulging in debauchery is a disgrace to the Shangguan family!
Judging from your behavior, you have absolutely no semblance of being the young master of the Shangguan family! You have completely disgraced the Shangguan family!
Since you don't want to sit in the position of the young master's successor, then you shouldn't sit in it!
I propose stripping Shangguan Xingyun of his position as young master and grooming Shangguan Hao to be the new young master. What do you elders think?
Whether they liked it or not, the elders present could only nod in agreement.
Shangguan Wei is the strongest and the head of the direct lineage, so they don't dare to defy him.
Shangguan Xingyun also kept his head down, but kept sneering.
He had anticipated this day would come, but he never expected it to come so soon!
