Chapter 1248: New Patriarch

Xiang Wang, who had just arrived at Qinshuang Courtyard, jumped up suddenly, his expression changed drastically. Qin Shuang sighed, stood up and said:

"Let's go and see."

The door of Xiang Yang's room was wide open, and there were Xiang Jiao and a dozen elders of Luo Tian Shangxian in the room at this time. Xiang Wang walked into the door, Qin Shuang paused, looked through the door, and looked inside.

Then he saw a person lying on the ground with a sword pierced between his eyebrows, but it was Xiang Yang, the head of the Xiang clan. Qin Shuang felt a chill in her heart, she always felt that she was shrouded in conspiracy, and her guard was raised to the extreme.

At this time, the guards outside Xiangyang House were answering Xiang Jiao's question.

"The third young master and the patriarch entered the room together. About three quarters of an hour later, the third young master left. About two quarters of an hour later, the disciple smelled blood. At first, the disciple thought that there was something wrong with his sense of smell. How could there be bloody smell here?

So, I asked my companions. I didn’t expect that my fellow guards on duty said that they smelled blood, which made us vigilant. We searched in the direction of the bloody smell, but found that it came out of the patriarch’s room. In panic, we called the patriarch repeatedly, but the patriarch did not respond. We pushed open the door, and found that the patriarch had... already..."

Xiang Wang stared fixedly at Xiang Yang on the ground, clenched his teeth, and his eyes were fierce with murderous intent.

"You mean, the patriarch and the third young master came in together, and then the third young master left, and no one came again?"

"No!"

Everyone's eyes focused on Xiang Wang, and Xiang Wang took a deep breath. What Qin Shuang once said to him flashed in his mind, the father passed the throne to the elder brother, but the second uncle was in the ceremony of passing the throne On the Internet, it is absolutely unusual to openly oppose your father and bring yourself up. Although he still can't understand the reason, but with Qin Shuang's reminder, even now that he saw the body of his eldest brother, he forced himself to calm down. He knew that he was caught in a conspiracy. It is possible to find the truth.

"Brother was fine when I left. And..." Xiang Wang frowned and said, "Even if I want to be unfavorable to brother, I am not his opponent. I just broke through the immortal stage, and brother is Luo Tianshangxian."

"You are the patriarch's younger brother, so the patriarch will naturally not guard against you. If you are under surprise attack, you may not be able to kill the patriarch." At this time, an elder said in a concentrated voice.

Xiang Wang looked at the elder. He knew that the elder was his cousin, but not the uncle of the direct line.

It is a branch of the Xiang family, called Xiang Yu. One is very close to the eldest brother and is a supporter of the eldest brother. Xiang Wang closed his eyes for a moment, and he didn't argue with him. The eldest brother died suddenly, and his heart was also very sad. All he wants now is to find the beast. He glanced at more than a dozen elders, and finally settled on the monk with the highest cultivation level, the peak of Luo Tian Shangxian in the late stage, and said in a concentrated voice:

"Uncle Seven, haven't you found any clues?"

This seventh uncle is Xiang Jinding's younger brother, named Xiang Wuxie, who belongs to Xiang Wang's direct uncle. When he saw Xiang Wang asking, he shook his head slightly and said:

"No, if, as the guard said, no one has come since you left. Then there is only one possibility."

"What's possible?" Everyone's eyes lit up.

"A monk with an earth attribute came from the ground. After you left, he killed the patriarch and then left from the ground. If we arrive within a quarter of an hour, we can still perceive the traces left by the earth attribute Taoism. Breath, but at this moment, I can’t feel it anymore.”

"Catching the murderer is a major event, but now we have bigger things to do, and it is imminent." At this time, an elder said.

This is Xiang Wang's sixth uncle, named Xiang Wuxing. Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted, he opened his mouth again and said:

"There are shadows and mysterious forces outside the family now. It was because of the sudden attack of shadows and mysterious forces that our old patriarch was seriously injured and is still unconscious. The death of the current patriarch also has a great influence. The possibility is that it was done by the shadows. Therefore, we are not sure now whether the shadows and mysterious forces will attack us again.

Presumably everyone knows that there are shadows and mysterious forces lurking within our family. Now that the old patriarch is unconscious, Elder Xiang Lie went to Mangcang Mountain to look for Jiuyangcao. The current patriarch was assassinated. These things must have spread to the shadows and mysterious forces among.

If at this time, shadow and mysterious forces suddenly attack our Xiang family, where will our Xiang family go? "

Everyone heard this, and there was tension in their expressions, as well as anxiety. Some people even showed a trace of fear in their eyes, but more of it was a kind of grief and indignation.

When was the Xiang family persecuted to such an extent?

"We urgently need to elect a new patriarch now, so that we can unite the family together and lead the family to resist foreign enemies."

Xiang Wuxie glanced across the crowd, and everyone fell into deep thought. Finally, Xiang Wuxie, who had the highest cultivation, nodded first and said:

"Brother Six is ​​right. What's your opinion?"

Everyone nodded, and Xiang Wuxie said, "If you have any candidates, bring them up and discuss them."

Xiang Wuxing spoke first: "The old patriarch only has two sons left now, one is Xiang Jiao and the other is Xiang Wang. Originally, Xiang Wang was the best candidate. But now Xiang Wang can't get rid of the suspicion. Therefore, I recommend Xiang Jiao."

Xiang Jiao repeatedly waved his hands and said: "No, my cultivation level is not high, I'm only in the stage of immortality, let Qishu take over as the patriarch. Qishu's cultivation base is the highest now."

Xiang Wuxie waved his hand and said: "Let's let Xiang Jiao take over as the patriarch first. When the second brother comes back from Mangcang Mountain, he will wake up the elder brother and let the elder brother decide. What do you think?"

The one with the highest cultivation level spoke to Wu Xing, what else could he say, and everyone nodded. Looking invisible to Xiang Jiao, he said:

"Xiang Jiao, taking over as the patriarch at this time is not an enjoyment, but a responsibility. If you don't have the guts, you can decline. If you are still the son of the old patriarch, then follow."

Xiang Jiao's complexion changed, and he finally became resolute and said: "Okay, I will take the position of patriarch. I hope all uncles can help me with all my strength to get through this crisis of the family. Xiang Jiao is here to thank all uncles."

Xiang Jiao cupped his fists and bowed deeply to salute.

"Don't worry, we will do our best to assist you." Xiang Wuxie said in a concentrated voice, then bowed his hands to Xiang Jiao and saluted:

"Meet the Patriarch!"

"Meet the patriarch!" Everyone saluted one after another, even Xiang Wang was no exception.

"Everyone is free!"
