Chapter 44: Establishing a Different Patriarch

Back at Qinglian Mountain, Wang Mingyuan presided over the funerals of Wang Yaoliang and Wang Yaoliang himself. It was a magnificent funeral and announced in public that the treatment of the three descendants would be improved.

After the funeral, Wang Changsheng came to the study and reported to Wang Mingyuan his process of learning how to refine weapons.

"Well, that's right, learn how to refine weapons, the future of the family depends on you."

Wang Mingyuan encouraged.

"Father, the Liu family participated in the attack on Uncle Jiu, why do we still cooperate with the Liu family? Can't we cooperate with other families?"

Wang Changsheng hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking.

"The three families of Song, Liu, and Sun jointly deal with our Wang family. Only by cooperating with the Liu family can we divide them. Without real benefits, the Liu family will not give up. The world is bustling, and they come and go for profit. You have to remember, Family interests are always higher than personal interests, and a family that puts personal interests above family interests will never exist for long."

Wang Mingyuan exhorted solemnly.

Wang Changsheng suddenly realized, and asked curiously: "Father, how did you deceive the Liu family? The quarry is obviously a mineral vein, how could it become a spiritual vein? Could it be that there is really a spiritual vein there?"

"Of course not. How can there be such a good thing? There is a set of phantom formation symbols in the treasure house of the clan, which can be used to arrange a second-level low-grade phantom formation. If a low-rank formation mage goes there in person, he won't find any abnormalities."

"So that's the case, what about the Sun family! How did the second uncle make the Sun family stop?"

"Hmph, these people are all worthless, and gave away a set of earth-attributed yellow-grade second-order exercises, so the Sun family just gave up! If our family is strong, why should we compromise, and others won't bully you like this We, in the final analysis, our family is too weak, give birth, your "elder" generation is the future of the family, you should not slack off and practice hard."

Wang Changsheng nodded in agreement, and the family rented the shop and gave away the exercises, so the two families were settled.

"The Song family is the mastermind of this matter. The reason why the Liu and Sun families agreed to help is because the quarry has mineral veins. Without the mineral veins, the two families have taken advantage of us. Naturally, they will not cooperate with the Song family. But the Song family will definitely not have a good time this time, well, let’s not talk about it, you go back to learn weapon refining! Try to become a weapon refining master."

"Yes, the boy will leave."

······

Pingyang County, Song family.

Song Ziyang was furious. Originally, it was agreed that the three families would unite to deal with the Wang family, and it would be fine if the Liu family and the Sun family withdrew. Instead, they joined forces to blackmail the Song family, saying that the Song family's information was wrong, and the quarry was obviously a first-tier middle-grade. The spiritual veins, not the mineral veins, this is what the clansmen of their two families saw with their own eyes.

Both the Sun family and the Liu family died, so they quarreled with the Song family and asked the Song family to compensate for the loss.

Of course, Song Ziyang was not to be outdone, and carried out his son-in-law. His son-in-law is Lin Huai'an, the head of the Lin family in Hongyeling. His ability to be the head of the family has a lot to do with Lin Huai'an.

I thought that with the help of the Hongyeling Lin family's name, the Sun and Liu families could be scared away.

Unexpectedly, the Liu family and the Lin family brought out the three families of Wang, Zhao, and Zhang. The five families were married to each other. It was the Song family's suggestion to deal with the Wang family. It's a naked threat.

Facing the two cultivating families, Song Ziyang still had some confidence. With five cultivating families, he didn't have the guts. To be precise, he couldn't show enough benefits for the Lin family to stand up for him.

In the end, it was Song Tianming who came forward and gave up some benefits, so the Sun family and the Liu family agreed not to support the Wang family to take revenge on the Song family.

Song Ziyang sent away the representatives of the Sun family and the Liu family, and immediately came to the secret room where Song Tianming practiced.

"Second Uncle, Liu and Sun are too deceitful, so I'll write to Huai'an and ask him to help out."

Song Tianming stared, and reprimanded unceremoniously: "Okay, don't you feel ashamed enough? It's true that Huai'an is your son-in-law. Will he face five families for the sake of our Song family? This matter is ours. I'm sorry, speaking of it, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have agreed with you to attack the Wang family, now it's all over, let's shoot myself in the foot."

"Second Uncle, it's all the Wang family's tricks. I don't know what kind of trick the Wang family played to make the Liu family and the Sun family stop. It's not your fault."

Song Tianming shook his head, and said seriously: "If you make a mistake, you have to admit it. Knowing your mistake can make a big difference. It's still too late to know your mistake now."

At this time, a middle-aged man with a refined face walked in.

"Second Uncle, Eldest Brother."

Song Tianming nodded, and said seriously: "Zixian came just in time. I have something very important to announce. From today onwards, you will be the head of the Song family. From now on, Ziyang will stay in the secret room next door to practice without my order. You are not allowed to step out of the secret room, otherwise you will be severely punished."

Song Ziyang's face turned pale, his legs softened, he knelt down, and cried out: "Second Uncle, you can't abolish me, my father treated you well during his lifetime! My son-in-law is Lin Huaian, and I'm the best choice to be the head of the family. You can't destroy me."

Seeing Song Ziyang's appearance, Song Tianming felt more and more disgusted in his heart, and sneered, "Let you be the master of the family again, and sooner or later the family will be wiped out. This time you became greedy and joined forces with the Sun and Liu families to deal with the Wang family, but in the end you lifted a rock and shot yourself in the foot It's also my fault that I was deceived by lard and believed your slander, otherwise I wouldn't be in this situation today. If you get greedy again and deal with other families, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. You are the head of the family, and the Song family will perish sooner or later. What I can't stand the most is that you can't even distinguish between spiritual veins and spiritual mines."

"Second uncle, the quarry is obviously a mineral vein, not a spiritual vein at all. The Wang family must have deliberately deceived the Liu family and the Sun family by making a false appearance."

Song Ziyang retorted unwillingly.

"Evidence! If you can get a piece of ore, the Liu family and the Sun family will not withdraw. Both the Liu family and the Sun family have sent people to the quarry. It is obviously a spiritual vein, and the Wang family has reclaimed it. Lingtian, the Wang family members frequently come and go to transport materials to build formations. You mistakenly think that they are transporting ore. Don't tell me that the Liu family and the Sun family are blind, and they can't even tell the difference between the spiritual veins and the spiritual mines. In a few days, even if the Wang family set up a spirit-gathering array, the soil would not contain enough spiritual energy, and the roots of the spiritual plants would not penetrate deeply into the soil. You didn't see any abnormalities in the scene, do you still want to quibble?"

Song Tianming gave Song Ziyang a blank look, and reprimanded him mercilessly.

"Second Uncle, Eldest Brother is also thinking about the family. He has worked hard all these years without complaint. You should spare him this time! With this lesson learned, Eldest Brother will not do it again."

Zhao Zixian hesitated for a while, and pleaded for Zhao Ziyang.

Zhao Ziyang is Lin Huai'an's father-in-law, Zhao Zixian may not be able to secure the position of Patriarch, it is better to take the initiative to let him.

"Yes! Second Uncle, I won't dare next time, please forgive me this time!"

Song Tianming snorted softly, and said coldly: "Hmph, I'm not dead yet! The Song family is still up to me, Lin Huai'an is always an outsider, and he is not in charge of the Song family's affairs. Zixian, you are the head of the family." After that, what are you going to do?"

After this incident, he was determined to dismiss Song Ziyang.

If there is an advantage, he wants to take advantage of it, and if something happens, he shirks responsibility. This kind of person is not suitable to be the head of the family. If Song Ziyang voluntarily admits his mistakes, Song Tianming can let him continue to be the head of the family, but Song Ziyang has never admitted his mistakes from beginning to end.

Song Ziyang slumped on the ground when he heard the words, his face was pale.

Song Tianming has already treated Song Zixian as the head of the family, and he has no chance.

Song Zixian thought for a while, and said: "Wang Yaozong ran to Qingzhufang City, saying that it was the evil cultivator who attacked the Wang family members. The Wang family didn't want to make matters worse. In this case, let's treat it as the evil cultivator. Of course. Well, after all, we did something wrong. If my nephew remembers correctly, it will be Wang Mingyuan's birthday in a month. We can send someone to celebrate his birthday, hoping to restore the relationship between the two families. Do well, and besides, you must comfort the family members of the dead clansmen, after all, they are also following orders, and it is not their fault."

"Well, let's do this! Take Ziyang down, without my order, if he dares to step out of the secret room, he will be punished as a crime of treason, and he will be killed without mercy."

"After all, Huai'an is the son-in-law of the eldest brother, and Huiyun, she is the mother of the Lin family, I think it is enough to abolish the position of the head of the elder brother, there is no need to imprison him!"

Zhao Zixian hesitated for a moment and suggested.

Song Tianming waved his hand and ordered: "No, do you think he has repented? If you don't imprison him, it will only affect your handling of family affairs. That's it. Take him away! I don't want to see him again .”

Song Zixian was overjoyed, he agreed on the surface, helped up Song Ziyang who was ashen-faced, and exited the secret room.
