Chapter 5: Deposing the Young Patriarch’s Identity [Recommendation, follow-up reading]
The meeting hall of the Li family is very spacious, with dozens of figures sitting in it.
Sitting at the top is Li Yaolong, the head of the Li family, Li Yuan's father, and a strong man at the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm.
Sitting next to Li Yaolong were two old men with indifferent expressions. On his left was the great elder Li Gong, and on his right was the second elder of the Li family, Li Han. Both of them were at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm.
On both sides below the three people, there are some elders in the family who have the right to speak and are not weak in strength. Eight of them are family elders, and their cultivation has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm.
Behind them are some outstanding young people in the family.
"I will never agree to remove Li Yuan as the young patriarch of the clan now!" Li Yuangang walked in and saw Li Yaolong, the head of the Li family, slamming his chair and shouting.
Seeing this scene, Li Yuan was also stunned for a moment.
At this moment, everyone in the hall looked at Li Yuan who walked in. Their expressions were extremely complicated, and many of their eyes showed regret.
How could the genius that once made the family so proud turn into a waste?
"Clan leader!"
Li Yuan bowed slightly to Li Yaolong and did not call him father, but the clan leader. This was a family meeting after all.
"Sit!"
Seeing Li Yuan salute, Li Yaolong nodded, his expression much softer, and pointed to the first chair on the left hand side below.
"Clan leader, how can Li Yuan be qualified to be the young patriarch of the Li family?" As soon as he sat down, the elder Li Gong above him suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at the Great Elder, who stood up directly, looked down at Li Yuan who was sitting below, and said: "I admit that you who once possessed the dragon bone did bring supreme glory to the family. "But now you only have the ability to refine
. The cultivation level of the second level of Qi realm.
"If you continue to be the young patriarch of my Li family, the entire family will become the laughing stock of the entire Malan City.
"Do you think you are still capable of serving as the young patriarch now? "
The great elder spoke sonorously and forcefully, and could not find fault.
In the hall, all the elders and clan members were silent.
Li Yuan glanced at everyone and said nothing.
He also understood their silence. Who would let a useless person serve as the young clan leader? "The great elder wants to depose the young clan leader. According to the ancestral system, the discussion will only
take place on the twelfth day after the cultivation test is completed, and someone needs to come forward to challenge." "
Li Yaolong's face was ashen, but when he saw the expressions on the faces of the tribesmen, he had to make concessions.
"No, when Zu Zhi wrote it, he did not expect to encounter such a situation. "The great elder said firmly.
"You want your grandson Li Minglin to take over! "Li Yaolong looked at the great elder and asked.
"Lin'er has this strength! There are only a few strong men at the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm who are less than twenty years old in Malan City. Lin'er is the only one in our Li family. "Li Gong said calmly with no expression on his face.
He knew that if Li Minglin became the young clan leader, his status in the family would be greatly improved and he would not be weaker than the clan leader. After all,
if Li Minglin became the young clan leader, his status would be that of the young clan leader. The patriarch’s grandfather.
“Elders! "Li Yuan suddenly stood up and raised his hands to all the elders in the hall, "Can I make a decision in two days? After all, I had a duel with Ming Lin yesterday.
"If I lose, the position of young patriarch will naturally belong to him."
"No!" The first elder did not refute, but glanced at the second elder, who spoke directly. He looked down at Li Yuan, " The position of the Young Patriarch is important and has been delayed for a while. Can't it be delayed forever?"
There is still a difference between challenging the Young Patriarch and meeting the challenge as the Young Patriarch.
At this time, the fifth elder below came out and echoed: "What the second elder said is absolutely true. The position of the young patriarch is related to the face of my Li family. I can't delay it any longer. I think today will be the day." He turned his gaze
. The Great Elder moved upward and said with a smile: "Li Minglin is young and promising. Among the younger generation, he is enough to rank among the top ten in Malan City. I think it will work!" Li Yuan knew that the Second Elder and the
Fifth Elder were not on the same side. Great Elder, but these two people are extremely good-looking.
In their opinion, Li Yuan made it impossible for the entire Li family to hold their head high in Malan City.
The hall was silent for a moment, and two more elders stood up to support Li Minglin as the young patriarch now.
Seeing that four elders wanted to support Li Minglin, Li Gong also had an unconcealable smile on his face.
In fact, these elders don't care who becomes the young patriarch, as long as it does not affect their interests.
However, it now seems that if Li Minglin is chosen as the young patriarch, he will undoubtedly be better than Li Yuan.
Moreover, after Li Minglin became the young clan leader, he could use the elder to check and balance Li Yaolong and weaken his power in the clan.
"To depose the young patriarch, according to the ancestral system, it seems that one needs to be eighteen years old and have a cultivation level lower than the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm." After a long silence, Li Yuan spoke again.
"Ling, do you have the ability to help me hide my cultivation? Just reveal the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm." Li Yuan said to Ling in his heart.
"It should be possible, as long as you are not a Yuan practitioner in the Yuanli realm." Ling responded, "With your current cultivation level at the fifth level of the Qi refining realm, even if you encounter Li Minglin, you can easily kill him." "Li Minglin's cultivation
level To suddenly break through to the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm, some method must have been used.
"I don't want any accidents to happen, my current cultivation level is my trump card. " Li Yuandao.
"Boom! "
With the help of Ling, Li Yuan circulated his vitality, swept away from his body, and set off a strong wind around him.
"The fourth level of Qi Refining Realm.
" How is that possible? "
"Didn't he only reach the second level of Qi Refining Realm in yesterday's test? " "
...
A series of surprised voices sounded in the meeting hall.
"Huh. I don’t know what method you used to show yourself to be at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm in order to occupy the position of young clan leader. But the test stone cannot be faked. "Great Elder Li Gong snorted coldly.
He had finally reached this point, but he didn't want to give up all his efforts.
"Whether my cultivation is real or not, Great Elder will know once I try it. "
Li Yuan's face was calm, but in fact he was extremely panicked. No matter
how bad the old guy was, he was still a strong man at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm. He could be killed with just a raise of his hand.
"Okay, then let me see what your cultivation level is. not real. "Hearing this, Li Gong was ready to take action immediately to test Li Yuan's cultivation.
Li Yaolong stopped the Great Elder and said politely: "Great Elder, you are a master at the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm, Yuan'er is no match for you.
"We just need to find someone of our own generation. Mingzhe, come out and compete with Yuan'er."
After the voice fell, a young man behind the crowd in the hall immediately stood up.
This person is none other than Li Mingzhe.
He is Li Yuan's cousin, and he has followed Li Yuan wholeheartedly since childhood.
Even in the past few years, Li Yuan's cultivation level has fallen again and again, but he still never abandons him.
However, Li Yuan has been alienating him and does not want him to make enemies in the family, so the two brothers have not seen each other for more than half a year.
