Destined Martial God Chapter 31

Chapter 31 - Battle of the Tongue (2)

Yu Family, in the Great a.s.sembly Hall!

"Yu Haoran, stop playing any more schemes and tricks, and be interrogated honestly!" The Great Clan Elder reminded Yu Haoran as he glanced at him coldly.

Regarding this, Yu Haoran only shrugged his shoulders and laughed, he did not take the Great Clan Elder's reminder at all.

Then, he respectfully asked the four elders, "Four elders, when I was expelled from the clan a year ago and downgraded to a servant, did I approve the consent of the six inner clan elders?"

Patriarch Four, Patriarch Five, Patriarch Eight and Patriarch Nine glanced at each other. Finally, Patriarch Nine replied, "No!"

"Then, four clan elders, when my sister Yu Saiqi's cultivation was crippled and expelled from the clan, did she receive the consent of the six clan elders?"

Ninth Elder still answered on behalf of the other three: "Nor!"

After receiving a definite answer, Yu Haoran shrugged his shoulders, turned around and looked at the Great Clan Elder, and said: "Great Clan Elder, may I know why you called Haoran over this time?"

Just now, Yu Haoran had interrogated Ninth Elder and the others, letting the Great Clan Elder know of their plans. He also knew that it was already impossible for him to let Yu Haoran receive the most brutal of punishments from the clan through w.a.n.g Ru's death and He Zhiqiang's injuries.

However, he was unwilling to give up and still wanted to give it a try.

Therefore, he threw the question directly at the Ninth Elder.

"Ol'ninth, your Punishment Hall is in charge of the clan's laws. What do you think about Yu Haoran killing w.a.n.g Ru and injuring Vice General He?"

"To go against one's superiors and secretly injure and kill others, in accordance with the laws of the clan, cripple one's cultivation and lock him up in a dungeon!" The hard-faced and selfless Ninth Elder said in a fair and just manner.

Yu Haoran, whose face was originally smiling merrily, suddenly became sad after hearing the clan rules that the Ninth Elder had pointed out. With a harsh tone, he said: "Ninth Elder, Hao Ran has a great grievance to speak of!"

With a profound look at Yu Haoran, Ninth Elder majestically said: "If there are any grievances, please speak your mind. I will definitely seek justice for you!"

"Ninth Elder, Elders, although my sister and I live in the service district and do the work of servants, but no matter what, my sister and I are also direct descendants of the Yu Family, and our bloodlines contain the blood of the clan leader."

"But the deacon of the service area, w.a.n.g Ru, disregarded the n.o.ble distinction and set up a private punishment.

As the younger brother of a mother, as the successor of the family, how could I just sit back and do nothing? But taking into consideration that w.a.n.g Ru is still a talent that my Yu Family has cultivated so hard, I tried so hard to explain the truth to her.

"However, I never expected that the crazy w.a.n.g Ru would actually take the initiative to attack me and even want to kill me. Under my helplessness, I could only counterattack and accidentally kill her."

"Even though killing w.a.n.g Ru by mistake wasn't my fault, I myself still blamed myself."

"But what I didn't expect was, as the vice director of the service area, He Zhiqiang, to actually come knocking and seek revenge for w.a.n.g Ru. I had no choice but to counterattack and ended up injuring him."

"Yu Haoran, don't you dare talk nonsense!" Just as Yu Haoran's words fell, the third elder with a fiery temper stood up for the third time and took a step forward, as he threatened.

This time, the Great Elder did not stop him.

Because he had seen Yu Haoran's actions of inverting right and wrong, he guessed that's intention was to force He Zhiqiang to his death. Therefore, he could not tolerate Yu Haoran continuing to be so arrogant.

"Third Elder, what are you trying to do?" Seeing the martial master's aura gradually rising from the Third Elder's body, the Fourth Elder who had been silent all this while suddenly stood up, and directly stood in front of Yu Haoran, and took the initiative to block the Third Elder's coercion for him.

"Number four, what happened today has nothing to do with you, get out of my way!" The Third Elder reprimanded him bluntly.

In the Yu Family, the Third Elder only listened to one person's orders, and that was the Great Clan Elder. Even before Yu Hongzhi died, he did the same.

"Third Elder, regardless of whether what Yu Haoran had said was true or not, the mistakes he made, the grievances he recounted, could only be decided by Ninth Elder. For the time being, it's not up for you to interfere."

As they were both Inner Clan Elders, their strength and status were not the slightest bit inferior to the other party. Therefore, when the Third Elder ignored them, the Fourth Elder was also infuriated.

"Fourth brother, do you want to try out my skills?" The third elder threatened with a cold look at the fourth elder.

"Ha ha!" In the face of the third elder's threat, the fourth elder chuckled and then similarly refused to back down.

"No problem, I just want to try out the power of third brother's Fire Palm. I don't know if it can break my Falling Sand Palm."

"Enough! All of you, stand down! " Just when the third and fourth elder were about to take action, the ninth elder suddenly slapped the armrest of the chair and sternly shouted.

Although the Ninth Elder's ranking among the inner clan elders was not very high, in the face of his stern rebuke, whether it was the Fourth Elder who was in the same line as him or the Third Elder who only admired the First Elder, they all obediently went back to their seats.

Ultimately, the reason was that Ninth Elder's cultivation level and strength far exceeded theirs.

"Yu Haoran, if what you said is true, I will send someone to investigate. You can leave now!" Patriarch Three and Patriarch Four returned to their original positions. Patriarch Nine ordered.

"Hold on!"

"No way!"

Seeing that the Ninth Elder wanted to settle the matter peacefully, the Great Clan Elder and Yu Haoran objected.

To the Great Clan Elder, if he allowed Yu Haoran to return today unharmed, it would deal a fatal blow to his prestige in the clan.

Because Yu Haoran was not an ordinary person, he was the successor in name of the Yu Family. There were still many people in the Yu Family who missed Yu Hongzhi's glory, and still hoped for him to become a strong Ranker like Yu Hongzhi.

That was why he couldn't let Yu Haoran return so easily. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for him to make Yu Hongyang the Clan Chief in the future.

As for Yu Haoran, before he completely intimidated the Great Clan Elder, he could not possibly win on the surface, and could not even go back and bury the hidden danger.

"Grand Elder, what's the meaning of this?" In the end, the Ninth Elder still chose to first interrogate the Great Clan Elder.

"Firstly, w.a.n.g Ru and He Zhiqiang are elites that have been raised by the Yu Family for many years.

"Secondly, Yu Haoran has no respect for him, he has to go against Third Elder and insult Elder Wu, and he must accept the punishment."

"Thirdly, the position of Yu Family's Patriarch has been vacant for too long. This has seriously affected the functioning of the clan, so I hope that we can elect a new Clan Leader this time around."

As the saying goes, the older the ginger, the more cunning one's thoughts would be!

Through Yu Haoran's counterattack just now, not only did the Great Clan Elder quickly think of a solution, he could also give his side the greatest benefit.

That was the position of the Patriarch!

If Yu Hongyang could take the position of the Patriarch, not only would he have complete control of the family's power, he could also have the Sixth Elder, who was in the neutral position, completely support them.

If he could achieve this goal, dealing with Yu Haoran would be really easy.
