Chapter 368: The Contradictions of the Xiahou Clan

There are countless great sects in the Jianghu, among which the ranking of the nine great families is the easiest to change.

The sect relies on the inheritance of skills, even if the members of this sect are extinct, as long as someone obtains the skills and is willing to rebuild the sect, then the entire sect will not be extinct.

Compared with the Zongmen, the aristocratic family relies on the bloodline to inherit, this kind of thing has inherent disadvantages, and the limitations are too large.

So now the nine great aristocratic families in Jianghu are thinking of using methods such as marriage or changing the system to make themselves stronger, and at the same time make their own mistakes and omissions smaller and smaller.

As the existence that can rank among the top three among the nine great families, the Xiahou family is already strong enough, so what the Xiahou family is looking for now is the word 'stability', which can be achieved from the Xiahou family's system. I can tell.

In the Xiahou Clan, except for the ancestor who has been in seclusion for a long time, even the head of the family can't say a word.

Although Xiahou Town is called the Patriarch, there are more than ten elders of the Xiahou Clan above him. These elders may not be as powerful as Xiahou Town, but they are all very experienced Jianghu elders. These people have no actual power, but they are The purpose of stopping what Xiahou Town is going to do is to check and balance the patriarch of Xiahou Town, and prevent him from going his own way and bringing the Xiahou family into the abyss.

Therefore, within the Xiahou Clan, if Xiahou Town wanted to reform some things, it had to consider all aspects, and it was necessary to convince all these elders.

It can be said that being the head of the Xiahou family is not ordinary.

Although the Xiahou clan's rules can prevent the head of the family from making any drastic decisions that would bring the Xiahou clan into the abyss, it also slows down the development of the Xiahou clan and the system is a bit bloated.

At this time, in Xiahou Clan's meeting hall, more than a dozen elders were sitting there. They were all old, but their strength was not weak.

The weakest of these elders used to have the cultivation base of the unity of heaven and man, and the stronger ones were even masters of martial arts master level in the past, but they are already too old, and their lifespan has reached the extreme. The grand master didn't even have a chance to make a move, so he let go of the power in his hands and cultivated in the clan with peace of mind.

Xia Houzhen stepped into the hall, sat on the main seat, looked around for a week, and said calmly: "Why did you elders bring me here?"

One of them was the oldest, with white beard and hair, and the old man who couldn't even open his eyes said slowly: "I heard that the Patriarch is going to use the power of the Xiahou Clan to suppress the Guanzhong Criminal Hall?"

The Xiahou family is so big, Xiahouzhen guessed what they wanted to do before they came here, Xiahouzhen couldn't help but snorted coldly: "So what? Elder, do you have an opinion?"

This Great Elder exists in the same generation as their ancestors of the Xiahou clan, and was once a strong martial arts master in the past, but the ancestors of that generation of Xiahou clan were even more amazing and stunning, and they have been suppressing this As a great elder, he has never been able to stand out in the Xiahou clan, and it is the same until now when his life span is about to expire.

It's just that although this Great Elder is not good enough himself, he wants to train his own descendants to take the position of the Patriarch. It's a pity that none of his descendants are useful, and finally came out after decades. A descendant with amazing talent, but happened to be of the same generation as Xiahouzhen, and was directly suppressed by Xiahouzhen, and failed to compete for the head of the family.

So over the years, the elder who opposed Xiahou Town the most was the Great Elder. Even Xiahou Town sometimes wished that this old immortal would return to the West as soon as possible. Living would be a waste of resources and would not bring any benefits to the Xiahou Clan.

The Great Elder said slowly: "Patriarch, you have to know that you are the Patriarch of the entire Xiahou Clan, and your every move represents the overall interests of the Xiahou Clan.

I've heard all the things, that child Xiahou Wujiang was spoiled too much by you, he didn't gain knowledge after suffering a loss in the arena, and he should be defeated by others. In the past, when the old man was in the arena, he was defeated repeatedly , but he didn't want to go back to the family to rescue soldiers.

Also, although someone died this time, the person who died was not from my Xiahou clan, but just a retainer. Why are you so excited? They are even going to use the power of the Xiahou Clan to suppress the Guanzhong Criminal Hall. Is there any benefit in doing so? "

Xiahouzhen said coldly: "No benefit? The seventh child belongs to my Xiahou clan. If he died, if my Xiahou clan didn't even fart, wouldn't it make people laugh if it spread?"

The great elder still said slowly: "Patriarch, what you say is not pleasant, the doorman who died is just a dog raised by my Xiahou family. He let the dog bite people and was beaten to death by others. It would be better to keep another one." Hey, why do we have to bring people in too?"

Xiahou Zhen slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Lao Qi is my brother!"

The Great Elder put away his slow look, stared at Xiahou Town, and said indifferently: "Patriarch, don't forget your surname! He is just an outsider, and the blood of my Xiahou family is your clansman.

Because even if this matter took the life of a collateral disciple of my Xiahou family, I would feel panicked, not to mention that the Guanzhong torture hall itself is not easy to mess with.

You are the head of the family, so naturally you have to consider the interests of the Xiahou family. If you don't think carefully, then it's our turn to think about you as the head of the family.

Anyway, as long as we are here, you can't use the slightest bit of power. The life of my Xiahou Clan warrior is very precious, and you must not waste it on such insignificant things! "

The other elders present also echoed with the Great Elder. Almost 90% of the people present would stand on the side of the Great Elder, and the remaining 10% remained neutral.

These people didn't intend to make things difficult for Xiahou Town, it was just because of their own interests.

Although these elders have no real power anymore, their descendants are still in the Xiahou clan, so they naturally have to think about their descendants.

So as long as Xiahou Town wants to do anything, it must give certain benefits to their descendants.

And once they find out that Xiahou Town has too much power and want to make trouble, then they will suppress Xiahou Town.

Looking at these immortal things in front of him, Xia Houzhen's teeth itch with hatred.

His patriarch is extremely domineering in the eyes of other warriors, but he himself only feels aggrieved, unusually aggrieved.

Xiahou Zhen stood up abruptly, and said coldly: "Okay, okay, you are thinking about the interests of the Xiahou family, but today I only avenge myself!

I won't use the power of the Xiahou Clan, I will personally find Guan Siyu's important person later! "

After finishing speaking, Xia Houzhen walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

One of the elders approached the Great Elder and asked worriedly, "Grand Elder, if we refute the Patriarch so much today, nothing will happen, right?"

The Great Elder said indifferently: "What could happen? Xiahouzhen is not an idiot, he would fight Guan Siyu to the death just because of an outsider.

He is in a fit of anger right now, he just went to Guanzhong Xingtang to vent his anger, nothing will happen.

During this period of time, he was a little too smooth, and it was inevitable that he would swell. I waited for this to calm him down and let him calm down.

What is the role of us elders? Isn't it just to help the head of the family right when he goes astray? Loyal words are harsh, and there is nothing the Patriarch can do if he doesn't listen, anyway, I am doing it for his own good. "

Everyone present nodded their heads in agreement.

Just when Xiahouzhen had already decided to go to the Guanzhong Torture Hall to look for important people from Guan Siyu, the news of Mingchen's death also reached Daguangming Temple.

And because of the long distance, it was only the news of Ming Chen's death, not the corpse.

In King Kong Academy, Mingchen's master Huizhen was stunned when he heard the news of Mingchen's death. There was no anger or grief in his eyes, only endless sadness.

Huizhen is the elder of the King Kong Academy, he has already reached the realm of harmony between man and nature, but he is not young anymore, he is already over a hundred years old, and his blood has begun to decline.

Ming Chen is not his only disciple, but he is his favorite disciple, because Ming Chen is very similar to him when he was young, he is somewhat anxious and righteous, but impulsive and irritable.

But so many years have passed, after Huizhen suffered several losses in the early years, his temper has changed a lot, and he finally became enlightened after getting older, but he also lost the opportunity to become a martial arts master.

Although Ming Chen is not young, he is in his prime and still has opportunities. As long as he can completely change his temper and comprehend the true meaning of the Wrathful Vajra Heart Sutra, he may have the opportunity to step into the ultimate martial arts in the future.

It's a pity that Mingchen still didn't survive this catastrophe in the end. He didn't die in the hands of Chu Xiu, but in the hands of his uncontrollable anger.

It's just that although Huizhen knew this, he still wanted to avenge Ming Chen's revenge.

This has nothing to do with other messy things, just because he is Mingchen's master, it's that simple.

Huizhen is not a stern master, he can give up his hatred under the benefit of his own disciples.

He doesn't hate Chu Xiu, but he still wants to kill Chu Xiu for revenge.

It's just that Hui is really not sure whether he can kill Chu Xiu with his own strength.

The warriors of Daguangming Temple are extremely powerful physically, but after the warriors who specialize in the physical body become old, once their vitality and blood begin to decline, their own strength will also decline extremely seriously. Can he kill the extremely powerful Chu Xiuke one-on-one? It's all an unknown.

Moreover, Chu Xiu is the chief criminal officer of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall. He is considered an important person in the Guanzhong Criminal Hall. that's it.

So Huizhen left her own Buddhist monastery and went directly to the head of the Vajra Monastery, the 'Vernad of Wei Tuo'.

Xu Yan's generation is a generation older than Huizhen's, but his age is much younger than Huizhen's, not even a hundred years old, and his appearance is a tall, masculine middle-aged monk.
