The eldest elder of the Su family kowtowed more than ten times, and his excitement gradually faded. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the first half of Su Wanti's words.
The Great Elder stood up, brushed the hem of his clothes, his eyes were sharp and his brows were furrowed.
He picked up his natal spiritual weapon, the spiritual wooden crutch, paused for a moment, and instantly his spiritual power spread out, with terrifying pressure.
"Su girl, who did you say hurt you?"
He glanced at Su Chao who was standing beside him, trembling. How could he not understand?
His eyes flashed, and he looked intimidating without even getting angry. He raised the spiritual wooden crutch in his hand and pointed it at Su Chao.
"Is it him?"
Su Wanti nodded, "Exactly."
"What is your purpose of coming back?" The Great Elder turned to look at Su Wanti.
Su Wanti was neither humble nor arrogant, but calm and composed, "Kill my enemies with my own hands and take back my position as the head of the Su family."
"Hiss—" All the elders of the Su family took a deep breath.
The Second Elder said, "Su girl, you said that the head of the Su family is your enemy and that he harmed you. You must produce evidence. You can't just make empty accusations, and you must not bully others by taking advantage of your power."
The second elder’s last words, “taking advantage of one’s power to bully others,” were extremely serious.
He had a very good relationship with Su Chao. Su Chao put him in charge of the transportation of spirit stones. He could get huge benefits from it, so he naturally spoke on Su Chao's side.
"Isn't this easy?" Su Wanti glanced coldly, "If you want to see evidence, then I'll show you enough!"
She drew a formation on the palm of her hand, closed her eyes, held her breath, and silently recited a few mantras.
Then he pointed at Su Chao, and a golden array shining with golden light quickly spun out and shone directly on Su Chao's head.
"I, I, Great Elder, save me..."
Su Chao had witnessed the power of the True Gold Formation. His facial features were distorted with fear, and he kept making miserable cries for help.
If someone just arrived at the ancestral hall now and only saw his desperate and miserable appearance, crying for help, they would definitely think that he was a victim, that he was wronged and tortured.
If that person was more kindhearted, looking at his half-gray hair, dry lips, and bitter tears, he would probably feel pity for him, believing that he was an innocent old man, and would be eager to rescue him, and accuse Su Wanti of being unkind and too vicious.
Little do they know that "pitiful" is a murderer's most adept disguise.
As cruel as he was when he harmed people, he became as "pitiful" when his crimes were exposed.
He would even throw all the dirty water on the real victim, as if his crime was forced upon him and had reasons.
Sure enough, after the illusory realm above the True Gold Formation exposed Su Chao's crimes one by one, Su Chao became interested.
He secretly bit his back teeth, his eyes moving rapidly, and then he raised his head, putting on a look of sorrow and helplessness.
"Su girl, I, I didn't want to harm you. If you were sane at the time, able to practice, and able to inherit the Su family business, how could I have harmed you?"
Su Wanti raised her eyebrows. "Is it my fault?"
Su Chao turned to look at the elders and said sadly, "My spiritual roots are not good, and I am not suitable for cultivation at all. But my brother is missing, and such a huge family business is handed over to me. How can I protect it?"
"As for the little girl Su, she possesses a rare and top-grade spiritual root, but she is a fool. Why don't I borrow her spiritual root? If I can cultivate it successfully, I can also save the Su family business."
"For the Su family, I can only do this. If you want to blame me, niece, then blame me!"
In the end, he put on an appearance of righteousness.
If a confused person heard his words, he would probably say with deep sorrow: "Su Chao is also doing this for the Su family. He is also forced to do so."
But are the elders of the Su family and Su Wanti such foolish people?
How could they not know that Su Chao said this just to exonerate himself?
The Great Elder said without hesitation, "Since you have admitted your guilt, go and accept your punishment!"
"Uh..." Su Chao suddenly raised his head, his lips trembling, "Great Elder, I, I am also doing this for the Su family. My motives are good!"
The Third Elder looked at him with disdain. "What motives are you talking about? Your motives are bad too!"
"Aren't you just trying to usurp the position of Patriarch of the Su Family? You're afraid that if Miss Su recovers one day and can practice cultivation, she'll threaten your hard-earned position as Patriarch. Isn't it because you have weak spiritual roots, and you covet Miss Su's good spiritual roots, and want to snatch them away for your own use? We're all hundreds of years old, who are you trying to fool with those little tricks?"
"I've seen a lot of people like you when I was in the Monks' Alliance. The evidence is right in front of you, yet you're still stubborn. Hurry, take him away and don't let him dirty the Su family ancestral hall."
The Third Elder had been a law enforcer in the Monks' Alliance for over a hundred years. He was so familiar with all the excuses murderers used to exonerate themselves that his ears were covered in calluses.
Su Chao wanted to ask the Second Elder for help, but the Second Elder simply closed his eyes and pretended not to see.
Now he just wants to cut off ties with Su Chao.
Su Chao was pulled away by the Su family guards who were enforcing the law.
"Great Elder, how will you deal with Su Chao next?" Su Wanti asked.
The Great Elder nodded and smiled, "You are the Patriarch of the Su Family, so naturally you have the final say."
Now Su Wanti is a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. You should know that there are only ten cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage in the entire Dongling Continent.
Whenever she goes out, she is respectfully addressed as Grand Master.
With her, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, as the head of the Su family, the Su family's status in the world of cultivation will be raised to a higher level.
From then on, the Su family was no longer the Su family that was rich but poor in cultivation as described by other big families.
The Su family will be a Su family with both wealth and strength!
The Great Elder's eyes gleamed with gold, as if he saw the bright prospect of the Su family being listed among the famous families of the Dongling Continent.
Su Wanti didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She smiled and said, "Okay."
————
The Su family held a ceremony to welcome the head of the family.
Because it was held in a hurry, only the Su family attended and no outsiders were invited.
What the Great Elder meant was that the Su family couldn't be without a leader for a day, so he let Su Wanti take over first.
After a ceremony was held in the ancestral temple, Su Wanti officially became the head of the Su family.
Nine years ago, after Su Chao took office, he transferred the original owner's father Su Ding and the original owner's mother's close associates to the Ling Mine to work as miners.
The first thing Su Wanti did after taking office was to transfer back all of his parents' confidants and select a few of them to serve him.
Afterwards, she handed Su Chao and a series of evidence of his crimes to the Monks' Alliance, asking the Monks' Alliance to punish him.
Su Chao went to the black market to buy a magic knife, and found a magic cultivator to exchange his spiritual roots for him. He touched the bottom line of the Eastern Spiritual Continent, waiting for his spiritual roots to be shattered, his cultivation to be cleared, and then thrown into the Chiyuan chasm to be torn and devoured by monsters.
Su Wanti told the Monks' Alliance that Su Chao's spiritual roots originally belonged to her, and when the Monks' Alliance executed Su Chao, they must notify her so that she could get her spiritual roots back.
This request was reasonable, and the leaders of the Monks' Alliance agreed to it immediately.
"Big Brother, do you think I'm cruel?"
After the leaders of the Monks' Alliance left, Su Wanti asked Shen Xingjian.
