The head of the Ning family was stunned.

He never thought that these words would come out of Ning Zhuo's mouth.

Because Ning Xiaoren was the one who brought him down! According to the Ning family leader's understanding, Ning Zhuo should be extremely disgusted with Ning Xiaoren. How could he say such a thing? The Ning family leader was shocked.

At this moment, he suddenly saw clearly part of Ning Zhuo's true appearance!

The young man in front of him was well versed in the right path, and he was the same kind of person as himself.

What kind of person?

He was cold and ruthless, putting his own interests above his own feelings! In other words, the emotions he showed on the outside were just masks, disguises that best suited his personal interests!

The head of the Ning family thought that he had seen through Ning Zhuo's true nature.

Then he showed an unprecedented seriousness.

For the first time, he treated Ning Zhuo as an equal and took him seriously.

"Xiao Ren..." The Ning family leader mentioned his son, and a touch of tenderness appeared on his face, "I really hope he can come back. But how can you make me trust you, can you bring him back?"

Ning Zhuo had a blank expression on his face: "Since I can bring him down, I can also bring him back."

"Didn't he want to rely on me for some time before?"

"I can agree to this and let him stay by my side and work for me. With my current position, I can arrange some work for him and give him some credit. Isn't that easy?"

"When the time comes, I will personally come forward and announce to everyone that Ning Xiaoren has changed his ways and has won my forgiveness. Then, his political stain will be washed away."

"Look, what a perfect method. I am the only one in the world who can do this."

"I believe this is also the scene that Grandmaster Ning Jiufan would like to see."

"After all, our branch and your main branch all have the surname Ning, so we are all one family."

Hearing Ning Zhuo, who was trying his best to split up the family, say this, the head of the Ning family sneered: "How shameless!"

After pondering for a moment, the head of the Ning family nodded slowly with an extremely heavy expression.

The head of the Ning family left, leaving Ning Zhuo alone in a room.

"Split up the family, split up the family..." He sighed in his heart.

He always brings up this idea whenever he gets the chance, and it's not just something he talks about for fun.

Sects have soul lamps, countries have directories, alliances have covenants, and families naturally have things to restrain their children.

When a newborn baby is born in the family, the cut umbilical cord will be made into a magical bloodline umbilical cord and sent to the ancestral hall for strict supervision.

After the baby is named, the name will be made with blood from the heart, tip of the tongue, and feet, and recorded in the family tree.

These are just the two main conventional methods, there are also powerful restraining methods.

Those are the ancestors in the underworld!

This world is divided into two sides: the world of the living and the world of the dead.

The world of the living is the world where Ning Zhuo lives, with the sun rising and the moon setting, the wind blowing and the clouds moving, and the flowers, birds, insects and fish, all full of vitality.

The underworld is filled with ghosts, and it is gloomy, dark, and filled with death.

The entrance and exit between the underworld and the world of the living is called the Ghost Gate.

People have two types of life: Yang life and Yin life.

According to the natural rules of this world, when a cultivator or a mortal dies, his or her soul will return to the underworld and stay there for a long time. Only when the life span in the underworld is exhausted will they be considered truly dead.

To judge whether a family is a cultivation family, one must not only look at the size of the clan and the highest level of cultivation in the world of the living, but also the size and highest level of cultivation of the ancestors in the underworld.

The Ning family is a genuine cultivation family. Although their power in the world of the living is weak, they are very powerful in the underworld.

This is because sixteen years ago, the Ning family migrated all the way from Beifeng Country, sacrificing too many clansmen, and even some Jindan cultivators died! The power of the underworld has been strongly supplemented.

The connection between the underworld and the world of the living is very strong.

The Ning family would communicate with the underworld during their annual family sacrifice, when a new generation was born in the family, or when there was a funeral.

Therefore, for family members who violate family rules, enforcing family laws is not just a matter of talking.

Ning Zhuo needs to be given the right to act independently.

If not, it would create a loophole for his next actions.

If the family seizes on this flaw and pursues the matter, it will be a big trouble.

Even if Ning Zhuo doesn't die, he will be skinned alive.

Now, through the exchange of interests, the head of the Ning family has already agreed to this matter. The elders of the Ning family are controlled by other factions of the main line, and now they are also persuaded by Ning Zhuo with the help of Ning Xiaohui's grandmother's story.

Ning Zhuo then summoned Ning Xiangguo, Ning Xiangqian, Ning Ze, Ning Chen, Ning Yong and others.

He had just started to speak when Ning Ze interrupted him: "What? Let the murderer go and let her go back?!"

"disagree!"

“I absolutely disagree!!”

Ning Ze couldn't sit still and stood up: "Ning Zhuo, Ning Ji is your cousin and grew up with you."

"Now, he has been killed!"

"But you want to compromise with the main lineage, let the murderer go, and give it back to them?"

"If Ji'er knew about this, what would he think of you?"

"I have fully supported you until now. The Ning family branch has fully supported you to this extent. You can't be soft-hearted!"

Ning Ze had no worries at first, as he knew the deep conflict between Ning Zhuo and the main branch. But he did not expect that when Ning Zhuo called a meeting this time, his first words would hit him like a bolt from the blue.

Ning Ze couldn't understand why Ning Zhuo's attitude towards the main pulse took such a sudden turn for the worse!

"Xiao Zhuo, if you do this, how can you be worthy of Ning Ji, how can you be worthy of us, how can you be worthy of the family branch that supports you!"

Ning Ze cried and complained, trying every possible means, using all kinds of excuses to pressure Ning Zhuo to make changes and take back his original decision.

Ning Xiangguo and others also looked at Ning Zhuo with inquiring eyes.

Ning Yong opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Ning Chen, who was sitting next to him, holding his arm.

Ning Zhuo sighed deeply: "Uncle, please sit down."

"I can't sit down! Xiaozhuo, give me a definite answer, right now!" Ning Ze was very excited.

Ning Zhuo stopped looking at him and looked around, his expression heavy and his tone steady: "Of course I am worthy of you and the branch of the Ning family."

"My cousin died, and I was deeply saddened. I believe that in this world, besides my uncle and aunt, I am the one who most wants to severely punish the murderer."

"I wish I could chop Ning Xiaohui's grandmother in half right now!"

"But at the critical moment, I thought of another aspect."

"I am not alone. I am the hope of the Ning family branch and the future flag bearer. I want revenge, but it is just my own selfish desire."

"You say, isn't this the truth?"

Ning Zhuo paused and looked at everyone in the hall.

Ning Xiangguo was the first to nod: "Indeed, I have considered it carefully. At this stage, it is a critical moment for the palace examination. In fact, because this matter involves your energy and time, it is already very inappropriate. It is indeed not advisable to rush."

Others also showed their agreement.

Ning Ze was indignant: "Even so, the murderer can be imprisoned. There is no need to send her back, right?"

Ning Zhuo sighed: "This is the second reason I want to talk about, and it is also the most important reason."

"I have used this matter to reach an agreement with the important faction of the Ning family's main line, and also reached an agreement with the head of the Ning family."

"I will release the murderer and recruit Ning Xiaoren to work for me. I will publicly announce the reconciliation in the future and help him return to the family."

"And what we got was the unanimous decision of the clan leader and the elders - to give me the power to divide the family."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

One stone can cause a thousand ripples.

Everyone was shocked, and several of them blurted out, "Separation?!"

After reacting, Ning Xiangqian, Ning Yong and others asked anxiously.

"Is this true? Did I hear it right?"

"If we really want to split up, that would be great!"

"I never thought that you, my young master, could accomplish such a great thing without making any noise. How wonderful! How wonderful!"

Only Ning Ze stood there like a stone statue, staring at Ning Zhuo with his eyes wide open, his fists clenched, and not saying a word.

Splitting up a family is not an easy matter and it can be said to be quite rare.

A family is a small country, and a country is a big family. The division of a country is a big event. The division of a family is also a big event for a family! After the division, a family is bound to fall into a period of decline.

The tribesmen who were separated were able to set up their own tribe and create new foundations.

Everyone has huge room for advancement.

Ning Zhuo, a branch of the family, suddenly stood out and became the patriarch of the branch family.

Ning Xiangguo, Ning Xiangqian and others may become the patriarchs of the branch family.

Younger generations like Ning Chen and Ning Yong, who have a close relationship with Ning Zhuo, will receive more emphasis from the division of family resources, and it is unknown whether they will be promoted to family elders in the future.

As for the resources of the branch family, let’s not talk about anything else.

Just talking about each sacrifice, one can use the name and identity of the clan leader or family elder to communicate with the ancestors in the underworld and gain huge benefits.

On the other hand, before the family split, Ning Xiangguo and his gang couldn't even be family stewards.

Seeing the ecstasy on everyone's faces, Ning Zhuo sighed deeply: "Although I really want to kill Grandma Ning Xiaohui immediately, but for the sake of the overall situation and the future of all of us, I am willing to suppress my selfish desires and make this decision with blood in my mouth and pain. I hope you can understand and support me."

Everyone in the hall was immediately moved.

"Boss, I knew you were a man of deep affection. Ning Ji was corrupt and took advantage of other people's power to bully others during his lifetime. Many people reported him to you, but you suppressed them all. You must want to cut the murderer into pieces. I understand you!" Ning Yong spoke first.

Ning Chen sighed deeply: "Boss, you have made too many sacrifices and shouldered too many burdens. I misunderstood you just now, and I am sorry for you. Now I understand your good intentions, I was wrong!! "

Ning Xiangguo stood up and bowed to Ning Zhuo: "Patriarch, please tell me what to do next. I am willing to guide you!"

When these words were spoken, everyone looked at him sideways.

Ning Chen thought to himself: "I have learned it, I have learned it."

Ning Zhuo exhaled a breath and nodded slightly: "I am very relieved to receive your support and understanding."

"Uncle, what do you think?"

Ning Ze had been standing there in a daze for quite a while.

Hearing Ning Zhuo's question, he chuckled, looked at Ning Zhuo, and then glanced around the hall.

The sorrows and joys of different people are not common.

Seeing the hidden joy in everyone, Ning Ze, who was filled with the pain of losing his son, felt even more desolate. He felt that he was out of tune with his surroundings.

While others were enjoying the prosperity and beauty of life, he was surrounded by ice and snow, as if he had been abandoned by the world.

Finally, Ning Ze fixed his eyes on Ning Zhuo.

Not long ago, he used justice and represented the Ning family branch to put pressure on Ning Zhuo, forcing him to avenge Ning Ji.

But now, after Ning Zhuo lightly threw out the piece of meat from the branch family, the entire branch of the Ning family has been tempted and driven crazy. How can they care about the death of a little Qi-refining junior? Ning Ze said in a hoarse voice: "Ning Zhuo, your cousin's death is a bargaining chip for you to gain benefits!"

"What else can I say?"

"What else can I say?"

"I'm just very heartbroken, extremely heartbroken."

"Goodbye, goodbye."

Ning Ze finished speaking and left without looking back.

Ning Zhuo quickly stood up and tried to make amends, but Ning Ze walked away resolutely with a hunched back.

Ning Zhuo stood at the door, watching Ning Ze leave, and sighed sadly: "Time is merciless, my uncle has become so old."

"I feel so ashamed of him! Everyone, I feel so upset right now."

"Did I do something wrong or right? I don't know for a moment."

Ning Xiangqian and others quickly gathered around, speaking one after another, affirming Ning Zhuo's actions and praising his sacrifice and dedication.

"For the entire family branch, you have shouldered too much!" Ning Xiangqian said.

"Yes, Patriarch." Ning Chen said.

Ning Xiangguo couldn't help but glance at Ning Chen and said to comfort him: "Ning's fault is understandable. After all, it is tragic for an old man to send off a young man and lose a son in middle age."

"But I think he just didn't think it through for a while."

"It's not like he can't have more children. When he figures it out, he'll find that he's already one of the elders of the family, and is closest to your line, the clan leader."

"To be pragmatic, Ning Ji's death was not in vain."

Ning Yong strongly agreed with this statement, and he echoed loudly: "Yes, yes. Ning Ji did not die in vain!"

Ning Zhuo gave his final instructions: "Please take good care of my uncle and aunt."

"I am taking part in the palace examination and cannot spare time. I will leave it to you all."

The others quickly responded.
