Mu Qianshan cast a sidelong glance, and stood as steady as Mt. Tai under the elder's imposing manner.
"It doesn't matter if I said it, but the elders of my Mu family said it should be the end, right?" Mu Qianshan's voice was as cold as frost, but it couldn't conceal the pride in his voice.
"Elders, please come out." When Mu Qianshan finished speaking, the surrounding crowd suddenly parted, revealing a gap that was more than a meter wide. From the gap, four people walked in.
"Yes." The old man nodded his head in greeting.
"Mu Qianshan, what exactly is the reason why you said you wanted to abolish the clan master? If you can't say anything, don't blame my clan of elders for not ending with you! " The female elder said coldly.
"Elder Mu Wen, are these words of yours for you or the group of elders you represent? If it was on your behalf, how would a woman, who has just entered the Origin Condensation realm, have the ability to fight me! " Mu Qianshan sneered repeatedly, "If you were to represent the Assembly of Elders, what virtue or ability would you have to be able to make decisions within the Assembly of Elders?"
"You …" Mu Wen was speechless. Although she was an elder, she really couldn't represent the position of the elders. However, if it were on behalf of an individual, her initial stage of the Origin Condensation Stage cultivation would not benefit a single bit from Mu Qianshan, a late stage Origin Condensation expert. Helpless, she could only ask for help from the other three elders, but he angrily discovered that the other three elders were actually looking straight into her eyes, nose and heart. They completely ignored Mu Wen's pleading eyes.
"Wen'er, stop it. They have come prepared, how can they change because of a single sentence you said? " The old man suddenly opened his mouth and said to Mu Wen, "Looks like Mu Qianshan has spent a lot of time and effort today to abolish our family head. He even bribed the three Great Elders to do so."
The old man's words meant that the three great elders had already been bribed, which was why they were standing by Mu Qianshan's side. Immediately, the surrounding disciples' discussions became even more lively. Even though they were already prepared to be talked about, when this actually happened, it made the three elders' faces turn red, and they were speechless.
"Second Uncle, you have no proof at all. The three great elders are all doing this for the future of the clan." Mu Qianshan, with a fake smile, said to the old man, "Elder Mu Wen, could it be that you've already been bribed by the former Patriarch to protect the former Patriarch?"
"Mu Qianshan, you, you're slandering me!" Mu Wen cursed anxiously. "How can I be bought off just for my own selfish desire?"
Mu Qianshan sneered, "You won't be bribed, so how can you be sure that I will bribe the three Great Elders? Or have you already been bribed by the former clan head, so you think the other elders are as despicable as you? I, I almost forgot, the former Patriarch Mu Wenyuan is your younger brother, who can you not help? "
"You …" Mu Wen was so angry that he stomped his feet and was rendered speechless by Mu Qianshan.
"Wen, don't be impatient!" The old man shouted softly. His deep voice calmed Mu Wen immediately. Following that, the old man looked deeply at Mu Qianshan, and asked solemnly, "You kept saying that the previous Patriarch, I ask you, what in the world did the Patriarch do wrong for you to pursue this matter?"
"Yeah, I also want to know what exactly I did wrong that caused Big Cousin Brother to gather so many people to try to pull me down from the stage!" A silhouette flashed and appeared in the middle of the hall along with a gentle voice.
"Greetings, Patriarch!" Seeing the appearance of this person, the surrounding disciples of the other branches all bowed to show their respect.
The three great elders hesitated for a moment. After a long time, they cupped their hands towards the person who had come. It could be considered to be their courtesy. Only Mu Qianshan and the old man stood there motionlessly, each with different expressions on their faces.
"Dad, are you alright?" Mu Wenyuan respectfully called out to the old man, his eyes filled with concern.
"Sis, take good care of Dad." Mu Wenyuan spoke to Mu Wen Wen and then turned to Mu Qianshan, asking, "Big Brother, if you want to cripple me, please give me a reason! Otherwise, even if we are brothers, I still want you to give me an explanation. "
"Alright!" "Since you want to know, then I'll tell you!"
As he said that, he looked around and saw the people around him looking at him without blinking. He said in a loud and clear voice, "Does everyone still remember the agreement that our Mu Clan had with the Darknorth Sect fifteen years ago?"
As soon as his voice fell, the surrounding people started to discuss. Some of the young disciples from other branches started to ask the people around them, one after another, to express that they did not know what the Darknorth Sect was. However, there were still some experienced and knowledgeable seniors. These seniors had all experienced the incident back then, so they naturally understood how powerful the Darknorth Sect was. Thus, when they heard Mu Qianshan mention the agreement with the Darknorth Sect, their expressions became grim.
"Uncle Luo, what exactly is this Darknorth Sect? Why did it make you act as though you were facing a great enemy?" A young man asked a middle-aged man beside him. His voice wasn't loud, but it caused everyone present to spontaneously quieten down. Everyone stared fixedly at the middle-aged man, their faces filled with the desire to know.
"This..." The middle-aged man nervously looked at Clan Master Mu Wenyuan and Mu Qianshan, afraid that he would make them unhappy by saying the wrong things. However, it was obvious that the Patriarch didn't care about what he said. In other words, this matter was an open secret of the Mu family, so there was nothing to hide. As for Mu Qianshan, he looked at him with a smile, his eyes full of encouragement.
The middle-aged man was also a scheming person. Seeing the reactions of the two, he naturally knew what to do. He cleared his throat and said carefully, "Speaking of the agreement we made fifteen years ago, we have to start from our Great Elder."
It was only one sentence, yet it had made all the disciples of the other branches interested. [This had something to do with the Prime Grandmaster!
The middle-aged man continued, "The Great Elder was an ordinary disciple of the Darknorth Sect in his early days, and also a high and mighty immortal. However, ten-odd years ago, the Great Elder suddenly returned with serious injuries and closed the door to recuperate. "However, in less than three days, the Beiming Sect came to get the man. They said that the Great Elder accidentally broke one of the young master's treasures, which infuriated the young master, and thus severely injured the Great Elder."
"Our Mu Clan naturally isn't willing, so we attacked them together. But who would have thought that he alone would be able to suppress all of the Mu Family's seniors. " Although the middle-aged man had only introduced them briefly, the thrilling scene at that time had still shocked everyone. All of them pricked up their ears, afraid that they would miss out on a single word.
"At the moment of life and death for the Mu Clan, the young master of the Beiming Clan saw the eldest young mistress. Although the eldest young miss was only nine years old at the time, she was already slender and elegant. Thus, the young master of the Beiming Clan offered to use the life of the eldest miss in exchange for the safety of the entire Mu Clan. They agreed to come to the Mu Clan today, 15 years later. At that time, for the sake of the survival of the Mu Family, it was worth it for the Patriarch to accept. " Speaking of this matter, the middle-aged man's eyes were still filled with rage, and his words contained a trace of shame.
"Now that I think about it, fifteen years have passed. It seems that today is the day the young master of the Darknorth Sect has agreed to meet." At this point, the middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something as his face revealed a deep sense of panic. He anxiously looked at Patriarch Mu Wenyuan and asked with a trembling voice, "Patriarch, may I ask if the Eldest Miss has returned to her home after having disappeared for nearly a year?"
