Everyone was taken aback.
What?
The Murong father and son actually dared to assassinate the young lady; they have such audacity!
Although the struggles among the powerful relatives of the emperor in ancient times were brutal, they would never resort to violence unless it came to a life-or-death situation.
It can be said that such an opportunity often only comes once.
If we fail, it will be utterly devastating!
Murong Heshu snorted coldly and said, "Those two, father and son, must have known that I would never let them go today, so they chose to take a desperate gamble and attack the old man! I am certain that his shares and the seal of office were obtained by forcing the old man. This was not the old man's original intention and cannot be counted! I ask all the elders to support me in taking back the seal of office. I, Murong Heshu, am the eldest grandson of the Murong family and the first in line to inherit the throne. Murong Xiong's position is illegitimate and his words are not legitimate!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Indeed, Murong Heshu is the rightful heir. And everyone acknowledges her abilities.
From any perspective, making Murong Heshu the heir is in the best interests of the Murong family.
A man like Murong Xiong, who dares to harm even his own father, is capable of anything. Besides, neither he nor his son are particularly capable.
"I choose to support the young lady!"
"I support it!"
"I support it too!"
"President Murong, please hand over the palm print!"
Everyone spoke up, launching an attack on Murong Xiong.
"What do you want to do? My father's position was passed down by my grandfather himself. Why should you make my father hand over the palm seal? I think you are rebelling!" Murong Heshuo was furious. He didn't expect that even though he and his father had produced the palm seal, they were still being questioned.
Murong Xiong's face was equally horribly gloomy.
He knew this young woman had more influence in the family than he did, but he never expected her to be so much stronger.
Without the old man's support, if he had been forcibly taken this palm print, his chances of survival would have been slim.
Unfortunately, he isn't!
He is the rightful heir!
"If you don't believe me, we can ask the old man right now! I can guarantee with my life that the old man has chosen me as his successor!" Murong Xiong said proudly.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Murong Heshu immediately denied it, saying, "We ancient martial arts families have rules that the head of the family cannot interfere in the struggle for succession. My grandfather is a man of principle and would never do such a thing!"
"Hmph! Young lady, you don't need to waste your breath on them. I'll just snatch the palm print back for you!"
Yu Qiushui snorted and transformed into a blur as she flashed toward Murong Xiong.
"How dare you!" Murong Xiong's expression changed. This Yu Qiushui was a grandmaster-level expert. If she touched him, he would either die or be seriously injured.
Bang!
However, just as Yu Qiushui was about to be hit, a figure in black robes appeared, grabbed Yu Qiushui's arm, and shoved her shoulder forward. Yu Qiushui's delicate body trembled violently, and she staggered back more than ten steps before slowly coming to a stop.
She stared at him in shock and exclaimed, "Murong Xiu??"
"Is it the Grand Elder Murong Xiu?"
"Isn't he the old man's expert?"
"It's said that they came from the Murong clan!"
"He actually sided with Murong Xiong, so that means..."
The expressions on everyone's faces changed several times. The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat unpredictable.
If Murong Xiong was lying just now, then what is Murong Xiu doing here now?
Anyone could see that he was protecting Murong Xiong!
Could it be that what the father and son said earlier was true, and that the old man really passed the position of family head to Murong Xiong?
"No, this is impossible!" Murong Heshu swayed, her lips pressed tightly together, and her pretty face turned slightly pale.
She couldn't accept this fact.
Grandpa dotes on his granddaughter the most, so why would he pass the position to Murong Xiong?
Even if he doesn't help me, he won't sabotage me!
"This can't be true! This can't be true! How could my grandfather do this to me? It's impossible!" Murong Heshu shouted.
At this moment, the black-robed elder, Murong Xiu, slowly spoke, his voice slightly hoarse.
"Young Miss, you got those blisters on your feet yourself. You can't blame the head of the family for everything!"
Um?
Murong Heshu looked up in surprise and asked, "What do you mean?"
Murong Xiu sneered and said, "Our clan already knows about your defection to the Divine Blood. You know how the Ancient Martial Arts Sect deals with traitors. Even if the old man wanted to save you, he couldn't! It's because you've committed a cardinal sin in the entire Ancient Martial Arts Sect, a capital offense!"
boom!
The scene was immediately in an uproar!
To pledge allegiance to the divine bloodline?
Others may not know who the divine blood refers to, but everyone present knows perfectly well.
That's the guardian of the cabinet, and also the mortal enemy of ancient martial arts!
The two sides each control the north and south, and because of some agreements made years ago, they will not confront each other directly. However, the struggle for economics and power remains an eternal theme for both sides.
In this day and age, although the cabinet still holds power, the economy, like a runaway horse, has gone off track.
Especially within the area influenced by ancient martial arts, it has completely slipped out of the cabinet's control. The struggle has reached a fever pitch.
This is a clash of ideologies, and also a struggle between ancient martial arts gods!
Who wins and who loses will determine who dominates the next few hundred years, and will also determine the redistribution of various resources, even cultivation resources.
It can be said that this is a war without gunfire.
Now that the war has reached a critical moment, Murong Heshu dares to defect to the enemy, which is tantamount to defying the world!
