Chapter 279.1

This decision of Murong Hou caused an uproar among the elders of the Murong family.

Many people never expected that Murong Hou would make such an important decision at this moment!

Someone immediately stood up and said angrily to Murong Hou, “Patriarch, what do you mean? You actually want to take the entire Murong family with you at this time to support a former holy son who has no backing? Are you trying to take the entire Murong family with you? Will the whole family be brought into the bottomless abyss?”

The person who spoke was named Murong Quan, and in the Elder Association of the Murong family, he was famous for his firm support of the Great Elder’s faction. Even after Ziqing Sacred Land split, he still believed that the only way out for the Murong family now was to attach themselves to the Great Elder, otherwise the Murong family would face extinction.

Murong Hou had long expected that Murong Quan would object, so he was not surprised. He sneered, and said to Murong Quan, “Elder Quan, at this time, you still want to hug the Great Elder’s thigh, right? Have you forgotten how the Great Elder treated our Murong family after the Qiankun Palace incident? “

Murong Quan was plausible about this and said, “Isn’t it because the Great Elder thinks that Murong Pianpian has already died in the Qiankun Palace, so he thinks that the Murong family is worthless? Now that Murong Pianpian has returned, then we have something of value to do with the Great Elder!”

As soon as these words came out, many people frowned secretly.

Murong Quan simply put the word “kneeling and licking” on the surface.

But some people were thoughtful as if they were seriously thinking about Murong Quan’s words.

In fact, if dignity is not considered, Murong Quan’s words are not completely unreasonable. Anyway, dignity is relative. It doesn’t matter if they don’t have dignity in front of the Ziqing Sacred Land, it’s enough to find dignity in front of outsiders. Even if they act like dogs to the Great Elder, they can still act like emperors to most people.

This result is not unacceptable.

Murong Hou’s face darkened, and he scolded angrily, “Elder Quan, listen to what you are talking about! Are you asking our entire Murong family to be dogs?”

Murong Quan sneered, “Murong Hou, as the patriarch of the Murong family, don’t you know what the situation is now? Now that the Great Elder is in charge of the power in the Ziqing Sacred Land, what qualifications does Tang Fei have as a mere holy son who has nothing to rely on?” Fighting against the Great Elder? Can he beat the Great Elder? I’m afraid not only would he fail to bring down the Great Elder, but he would also pull down all the people related to him?”

Tang Fei twitched the corners of his mouth, but he did not speak.

Murong Quan didn’t even look at him, and continued to say to the others, “The name of Tang Fei as a holy son is not a banner at all, but the source of disaster! As long as he still bears this name, even if you don’t do it, it will bring disaster to him and the people around him! Therefore, I propose to arrest Tang Fei and dedicate him to the Great Elder! And our Murong family can also rely on this credit to become a first-class family!”

As soon as this remark came out, many people couldn’t help but secretly moved their hearts, and looked at Tang Fei with a hint of eagerness.

Murong Hou was furious. He slapped the table and shouted, “Murong Quan, thanks to the fact that you are still an elder of the family, you can say such shameless words! I will leave my words here today, and my Murong family will fully support Tang Fei Shengzi in the future. Anyone who objects, You might as well stand up now!”

Murong Quan’s face darkened, “Murong Hou, although you are the patriarch, you have no right to make such an important decision on behalf of the Murong family!”

Murong Hou sneered, “Murong Quan, do you really think I don’t know what you did yesterday?”

As soon as these words came out, Murong Quan’s expression changed drastically.

“Hmph! You sent someone to the Ziqing Sacred Land yesterday shortly after holy son Tang Fei came to my Murong family. Do you really think I didn’t know that you were there to inform others? But unfortunately, the people you sent out have already been intercepted! You said that I made decisions for the family without authorization, but when you did this kind of thing, did you ever get authorization from the Elder Association?”

Murong Quan forced himself to be calm and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re just trying to inflict a crime, so there’s nothing wrong with it!”

Murong Hou shook his head and sighed, “I really don’t cry when I see the coffin!”

He suddenly raised his voice and shouted, “Bring people up!”

After a while, a young man who was tied up was brought to the hall. When everyone saw it, they discussed it one after another.

“Isn’t this person Murong Ze from Elder Quan’s lineage? Could it be that Elder Quan sent him to Ziqing Sacred Land to report the news?”

“How could Murong Quan make such a decision without authorization? Didn’t he consider the situation of our Murong family?”

“Hmph! It’s already like this at this time, and he, Murong Quan, is still thinking about hugging the Great Elder’s thigh! It’s like making fun of the entire Murong family!”

…

After Murong Pianpian fell into the Qiankun Palace, the Great Elder’s rapid change of attitude chilled most of the Murong family members, and many people began to resist continuing to be attached to the Great Elder. Although Murong Pianpian has returned safely, most of them still think that it is not a wise choice to attach to the Great Elder. Some radicals even think that attaching to the Tiangang Sword Sect is better than continuing to hug the Great Elder’s thigh!

Therefore, in the Elder Association, the faction of “attaching to the Great Elders” headed by Murong Quan seems to be very disconnected of the group.
