Chapter 726 The Difficult Road
The battle with his father was actually far from the most difficult battle Xitian had ever experienced in his life.
But there is no doubt that this is the most painful battle.
Not because of the strength of the opponent, but because of the identity of the opponent.
In fact, as far as Xitian himself is concerned, there is no hatred between him and the old patriarch's biological father. He has always grown up in the way the other party wants, and is extremely outstanding and outstanding. Otherwise, the old patriarch Nor would he choose himself as his heir, and at such a young age.
Xitian is not a child who is born rebellious. He even said that the reason why he climbed up the tower to see his twin sister who had been away from him for many years was just because the tower kept calling him, calling him to meet the people in the tower. Meet the girl.
He even said that if Xitian himself was placed in his father's position, Xitian himself doubted that he would make a similar choice to his father.
It means that he and Xiying choose the stronger and healthier child to raise. It means that he chooses to squeeze the maximum value of Xiying under the premise that the treatment is ineffective. It is like using waste. It is now to stop his stupid son from pursuing a destiny. My sister is going to die, wasting the most precious treasure of the clan.
Xitian understands all the truth.
But there is only one thing, that is, Xiying is his sister, not someone else's.
As for Xiying's current encounter, it was actually just that he left his mother's womb first and pushed the other person into an abyss of eternal destruction.
If Xiying was born first, then he would be the one lying on his back now, almost dead.
That's why Xi Tian couldn't forgive himself, so he was so determined and stubborn.
This battle between father and son was not long because Xi Zhen was really in a hurry.
But the outcome of this battle was profound.
Because Xitian lost, but the clan leader did not kill or imprison him.
He just asked, do you see clearly the path you want to take next?
Xitian half-knelt on the ground and nodded, so the gray-haired old man made way for his son, and then left the Nihuang Underground Palace without looking back, and then left the entire Forgotten Palace. city.
Just as he had promised, he went to his elephant grave alone and waited for his death.
In the past, Xitian didn't understand his father's choice at that time, but it was only a long time later that he understood his father's state of mind at that time.
No father would want to watch his daughter die unless there was nothing he could do.
Unless the cost of saving his daughter is too high for him to bear.
That clan leader would never be willing to sacrifice his own clan in exchange for the survival of one of his daughters.
But he didn't expect his son to be willing.
Faced with the only survival of his bloodline in this world, and faced with his decaying body that is about to die.
The old man who had been carrying the fate of his tribe for thousands of years finally felt tired. After making sure that Xitian knew what kind of thorns lay ahead of him, he chose to let his son go through it on his own.
Anyway - he was dying.
Why should a dying person plan the future path for people who still have unlimited future?
Xitian looked at her father's distant back, knelt down heavily on her knees, and kowtowed quietly for a moment.
This was the last time that this young man knelt down. From then on, when others saw him again, they could only call him the leader of the Xitian clan.
Then many people said that he killed his father with his own hands and then ascended to the position of the supreme clan leader.
Xitian has never refuted it, and no one has ever dared to say it in front of him.
After that day, Xitian walked out of Nihuang Underground Palace with Xiying in her arms, and the girl slowly woke up from her deep sleep.
No one knew that on that day, all the phoenix essence and blood in the phoenix shed, the treasure of the Nihuang clan, was poured into the girl's body, rekindling the fire of life for her.
What everyone knew was that on that day, the Nihuang clan changed their clan leader.
...
...
The replacement of the clan leader is almost the number one major event among all clans. Because of the existence of the Yin Clan's divine descendants, the old patriarchs of each clan have almost a history of ruling for tens of thousands of years. With the disappearance of the divine descendants, , these ancient patriarchs are aging and dying one by one.
But even so, the Nihuang clan was the first clan to send away its ten thousand year leader, because only this clan leader chose to spend his last life essence to give birth to offspring.
The new leader of the Nihuang clan is very young, but because it is said that he ascended to the clan position at the cost of killing his father, no one despises him too much.
There is definitely still some contempt, but not too much.
And Xitian did not deny that statement, because his father did die because of his forced marriage. Moreover, although this matter would cast a moral shadow on his head, it could at least help the Nihuang clan survive the patriarch's most difficult task. A dangerous time.
Then, at the ceremony to celebrate the succession of the new clan leader, all clans sent heavyweight representatives with generous gifts to congratulate, because there is no doubt that this means that for at least the next thousand years, the Nihuang clan will The person at the helm will be this young leader, so even if a good relationship is not established - in fact, there is no real alliance between the Hermits - at least they should not be too hostile.
This is what everyone who came to congratulate thought.
But in this case, the new patriarch made a very ridiculous decision at the time.
It was he who made a long list to each tribe, and the list was basically among the most precious treasures in the treasure troves of other Yin tribes.
He asked the Yin clan to use these treasures as gifts for his succession. Of course - the patriarch would pay an equal value in return from the Nihuang clan's treasury based on the value of the gifts.
Everyone thought that the young patriarch had lost his mind and gone crazy.
But only Xitian knew that he was not crazy.
Because this is the path he saw when he first talked to his father.
My father did not dare to take this path, nor was he willing to take it.
But Yuti doesn't mind.
Even the true blood of the phoenix in the phoenix's slough can only keep Xiying alive for about half a year.
However, the combined treasures of similar levels from other tribes can extend Xiying's life for at least three years, and in these three years, Xitian will grow even faster and stronger.
At that time, he had a new way to treat Xiying.
However, in the face of the new patriarch's almost plundering methods, the senior members of the Yin tribe who came to congratulate him all sneered. No one agreed to the requests on the list, even though Xitian promised that he would give corresponding rewards.
And Xitian was not surprised by this result.
He placed Xiying in the high tower where she usually lived, because the trip was long and it was inconvenient to take her with him.
Then he walked out of the Forgotten City alone and embarked on a debt collection journey that was destined to be recorded in the history of the Hermits.
