Peerless War God

Although there were rumors that the Patriarch was injured and his strength had been greatly reduced, he was still an Almighty in the Immortal Realm after all.    

Even though he was injured and his strength had been reduced, he was still not a match for a Tribulation Transcender.    

“The Patriarch is too serious. How could I dare!”    

Fu Yanshan buried his head and replied.    

“Hmph, then shut your stinky mouth. Let’s continue,” Fu Zhenghong reprimanded him, not giving Fu Yanshan any face at all.    

“…” Fu Yanshan’s face was livid, and he looked extremely ugly like a moldy sauce.    

He wanted to do something, but in the end, he realized that he could not do anything.    

Fu Xue saw all of this and thought about it. She muttered softly, “According to the clan rules, according to the clan rules… Heh, this sentence is really useful.”    

For a moment, the hall was completely silent. No one dared to object to Fu Zhenghong anymore.    

Even though the corpses of the Fu Clan deacons that had just been executed lay beside their feet, they turned a deaf ear to it and pretended not to see it.    

The remaining people all had cold sweat on their backs, but they pretended to be calm on the surface. It was rather comical.    

“Then let’s continue. According to the clan rules, Fu Kunqi, Fu Yuan… all of them are guilty and should be executed!”    

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!    

As Fu Zhenghong finished speaking, the faces of the people whose names were read out changed drastically. They screamed crazily, trying to defend themselves.    

However, Fu Zhenghong did not care about what these people said or tried to defend themselves. She only felt that it was noisy.    

She raised her hand again, and several green sword lights fell. The merciless slaughter continued, and a few more dried up corpses with severed life force appeared on the scene. Their conditions were miserable.    

“According to the clan rules…”    

Fu Zhenghong continued to read out. After a few rounds of executions, half of the Deacons of the Fu Clan who were originally still standing were gone, leaving a large space empty.    

The hearts of the people who were still alive were cold. They were scared half to death.    

From the beginning until the end, Fu Yanshan had been enduring and did not dare to resist. His heart was filled with coldness and despair, and there was a trace of madness that was constantly growing.    

“Old woman, have you gone crazy today? Are you going to completely reveal your cards? Damn it, you killed so many of our own people.”    

From Fu Yanshan’s gloomy gaze, one could see some clues. He was very angry and dissatisfied.    

At this time, Fu Zhenghong’s gaze met Fu Yanshan’s, and she said indifferently, “I know some people are dissatisfied and feel that I have committed too many crimes and should not have dealt such a heavy blow to my own people. However, when these people were committing crimes, did they think of the clan rules? Did they think that this day would come and that they would end up like this? They deserved it. Those who dare to plead for mercy will be punished together.”    

Even though her words were short, they were firm and unquestionable. This was the prestige of being the Patriarch.    

The prestige that she had accumulated over the years was the reason why she was able to keep the situation under control. If it were any other ordinary person, they would have been thrown into chaos a long time ago.    

And this was also the path that Fu Zhenghong had paved for Fu Xue.    

What she had to do now was to see what she could do. She had done most of what she could.    

“The Patriarch is wise. These people have violated the rules of the clan and deceived us. They deserve to die.”    

Fu Xianer was the first to stand up and shout.    

With the first one, there was immediately a second one who stood up and echoed, “Yes, the Patriarch is wise. These people deserve to die.”    

“The Patriarch is wise.”    

“Yes, the Patriarch is wise.”    

The surviving cultivators of the Fu Clan in the hall all responded.    

Regardless of whether these people really thought this way, or whether they were merely intimidated by the thunderous measures that the Patriarch had displayed, it was not important. What was important was that they were convinced and did not dare to cause trouble. This was enough.    

As the old saying went, when water was clear, there would be no fish. If they killed them all, it would not be beautiful. Fu Zhenghong understood this principle better than anyone else.    

“Xue, have you seen it clearly? The Patriarch has killed so many people, yet they still want to cheer for the Patriarch.”    

Fu Zhenghong held Fu Xue’s hand and said with a smile.    

“Xue understands.” Fu Xue seemed to be lost in thought when she saw this. She wore a contemplative expression.    

Fu Zhenghong acted as if there was no one else around him. He patted Fu Xue’s hand and said, “You’ll have to depend on yourself to walk on the path from now on. The Patriarch will be watching from the side.”    

“Yes, Patriarch,” Fu Xue replied, and her gaze became even more resolute.    

Subsequently, Fu Zhenghong looked down, especially at Fu Yanshan. In her eyes, there was a coldness.    

“I’m going to announce the second matter now. Miss Fu Xue is the successor of my family.”    

Fu Zhenghong spoke with a loud voice, and his voice spread throughout the hall and the entire Fu Clan City.    

For a time, it caused quite a stir.    

“The Patriarch has finally announced it. That’s great! From today onward, Miss Fu Xue is the official successor of my Fu Clan.”    

“That’s right. Miss Fu Xue possesses a cultivation at the peak of the Tribulation Transcender Realm, and she possesses the Blackheaven Spirit Treasure, the Azure Dragon Ring. Choosing her to be the successor is very convincing. In the future, Miss Fu Xue will have a great chance to charge into the Immortal Realm, and the Fu Clan will have hope.”    

“The Patriarch is wise. We agree with the Patriarch’s decision.”    

“This… I’m afraid it’s not good. Wasn’t it rumored that Fu Qing was the next successor? Why did it suddenly become Fu Xue? It’s too strange.”    

“What do you know? Since it’s the Patriarch’s decision, we’ll acknowledge it unconditionally.”    

“Even though it’s like that, I’m afraid there’ll be people who aren’t willing to accept it.”    

The cultivators of the Fu Clan discussed animatedly with varying expressions. Even though many of them were convinced by Fu Xue, there were some who were unconvinced.    

On the mountaintop, when Zuo Zhao heard this, he was incomparably excited.    

"That's great, Xue'er can finally fulfill her wish and become the successor of the family. She will be able to take charge of the family."    

In fact, this was not a secret. All these years, Fu Zhenghong had taken Fu Xue with him and had carefully cultivated her. As long as one was not blind, they would be able to see through it.    

If it was said that there was still some suspense before this, then after Fu Xue obtained the Green Dragon Ring, it was already set in stone.    

Even if Fu Zhenghong did not do this, the Fu Clan would still push Fu Xue to the position of successor.    

The benefits that a Mysterious Heaven Spirit Treasure could bring to the family were completely immeasurable. As long as one was not stupid, they would do it.    

"Heh, don't be happy too early. The good show is about to begin." Chen Xiao took a sip of tea and said indifferently.    

Zuo Zhao was stunned, "Captain, isn't this a matter that is set in stone? Could it be that there will be some unexpected changes?"    

"You forgot it so quickly. The evil pill in the valley's medicinal garden and the betrayal of the people below are only enough to kill a few supervisors. It's far from enough."    

Chen Xiao said coldly. He had clearly seen it from a long-term perspective.    

"This... Then will Xue'er be in danger?" Zuo Zhao was worried.    

"Don't worry, it should be a shock without any danger. It will depend on what methods Fu Yanshan has prepared. This is also the purpose of Old Madam Fu's actions. She wants to force Fu Yanshan to make a move, so that she can solve the problem once and for all. The idea is not bad."    

Chen Xiao said with a hint of meaning in his words.
