True Lord Yunmao fell silent.
This time there was no argument to be made. In practice, he did deviate from the principles he had always maintained.
Although the fifth son's words are inevitably biased, and he also secretly changed the concept with other purposes.
But what the other person said is indeed true to a certain extent.
He did turn a blind eye to some of the fifth son's actions, which led to today's disaster.
Of course, he didn't know from the beginning that he had murdered Fifth Purple, as the fifth son said. Otherwise, how could the fifth son sit so securely as the heir?
Who is the fifth Ying? He is the youngest and most promising member of the fifth family of idioms who has never been in retreat. At such a young age, he is already far superior to many senior Nascent Soul Lords and possesses power beyond his level.
In addition to some shortcomings in human sophistication, this true king's external methods are also full of spiritual power and sophisticated behavior. He can be said to be an excellent family leader.
Even if most of the rights were taken away due to the altar incident, he could single-handedly take back all the lost rights not long after he woke up.
Not to mention taking it back, the group of people who took action in the first place shed several layers of skin and barely survived after paying a full price. But it is said that many aggressive side factions hit Fifth Ying's guns, which can be said to have paid a bloody price.
Such a person is not some wimp sitting on his ancestral property. Today, just by looking at how he instantly changed the entire situation as soon as he came in, you can see the true nature of the other party.
Others had doubts about the fifth son's words, but most of the fifth disciples didn't think so.
Compared with other people who knew little about it and had not even had the opportunity to meet True Lord Yun Mao before this, they had a closer relationship with the head of the family and naturally had a better understanding of the whole story.
It seems that these people only know a little about the Fifth Purple. Many of them have personally experienced that disaster, whether they were on the periphery or something else, and some even survived that incident. Only they themselves know what the specific situation is.
It is true that they did not know about the fifth son pretending to be the fifth purple at the beginning. After all, such a thing of stealing a dragon and turning a phoenix into a phoenix is a bit shocking.
But this does not prevent them from raising questions after seeing something.
Indeed, many of them feel that the "Fifth Purple" has changed too much before and after. Whether it is appearance, personality, words and deeds, or acting style, it is too far away from the glorious spiritual platform in the past.
Although they could understand that the altar had a great impact on him, it was really hard to get used to.
In the early stage, the other party locked himself in the yard all year round because his appearance was damaged, saying that he wanted to restore his cultivation and appearance.
During this period, the other party showed up from the courtyard several times, which frightened many disciples. It took several years like this before he finally cleaned himself up enough to be seen and finally returned to the world of cultivation.
This has been going on for more than ten years.
The "Fifth Purple" became famous for its alchemy only in the past ten years. In recent years, almost no one has been able to get close to this heir who is said to have suffered heavy physical and mental injuries. Even the disciples within the clan are afraid of him. The only people who can really get close to him are probably his direct subordinates and his only son.
In addition to these, they have also heard a lot about the conflicts between Fifth Purple and True Lord Yunmao over the years... This started from the altar incident.
Previously, they secretly speculated whether the fall out between father and son was due to the power grab. After all, Fifth Purple is getting older, and even his only son is almost old enough to be the head of the family. However, according to the past customs, his father who should have abdicated his position has been unwilling to give up his position...
If it were any other aristocratic family, they might have been in trouble long ago. He was tough enough to endure it until now. Of course... if it were another family, this situation would definitely not happen. After all, there are really not many big families who dare to appoint Golden Core or even Foundation Establishment disciples as the head of a sect like the Fifth Family.
The leader of a sect usually represents the dignity of the sect. If nothing unexpected happens, the sect leader needs to stand up when the disciples of the sect encounter a crisis and defend the dignity and interests of the sect. In this case, the patriarch of the clan needs to have extremely strong power and deterrence.
Even if you don't have enough strength, you must at least have extraordinary uniqueness to be qualified for such a position similar to a leader.
And why the fifth family dares to choose young talents with insufficient qualifications or even young people who are just starting out at will? Naturally, it is because they already have strong power and intimidation.
The fifth family itself is a symbol, a sect machine with heritage and power that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. They even have the entire Yun Dao behind them as endorsement, and they have a special status in southern Xinjiang. Naturally, they do not need a sect leader as a deterrent to rule the sect and protect the inside and outside.
Not only that, they don't even want to waste more talents on such mundane affairs, so the family heads who take office are all amazing and talented people in the sect. When they reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul or above, they will start to step down from their duties to concentrate on cultivation.
The relationship between the fifth purple and the fifth hero is rather special. The relationship between father and son was relatively "good" before, but for some reason, after the incident at the altar, the relatively harmonious relationship between the two quickly deteriorated, even to the point of becoming incompatible.
The fifth family's children heard the two of them arguing more than once, although they never actually took action. But judging from the atmosphere of hostility between the two of them, it would be an exaggeration to say that they are enemies of each other.
They are still lamenting that people's hearts in this world are fickle, and everything in this world will eventually change. Such a father and son who were once so good that everyone would be envied will change their appearance due to disputes over interests.
I have to say that this fact is indeed very touching.
But they didn't expect that they didn't guess the key point even though they were guessing horizontally and vertically.
It turns out that it's not that people's hearts are changeable, it's that people, including their loved ones, have completely changed. There's another person under the skin, so naturally the relationship can no longer be the same as before.
That's why the relationship between father and son suddenly became so bad...
But if True Lord Yunmao knew from the beginning that it was Fifth Son who attacked Fifth Ying, they didn't believe it.
If it were them, knowing that one of their sons murdered their most proud son, and not only that, but also using a plan to take his place, they would explode in minutes. It is absolutely impossible to allow the other party to continue to deceive under such an identity.
Wu Ying doesn't seem like someone who can accept such a thing. You have to know that he is a Nascent Soul True Lord, or a Nascent Soul True Lord who is good at fighting. There is no need for him to tolerate it!
If he really got angry, the fifth son would not be alive until now.
So thinking of this, everyone in the fifth family basically overturned the vague statement of the fifth son.
