The atmosphere in the field was heavy, and all the elders raised their heads and looked at the great elder.
"Back then, the second ancestor, as a founder of the tripod, offended people in the divine capital and almost suffered disaster... In the end, he became a vassal of Xuantian Temple and was able to avoid disaster!"
The great elder looked cold and said slowly: "But today I, the Qujiang Luo clan, offended Kaiyang Mountain. If we look at the enmity between us, among the clans and sects, it is ten times and a hundred times greater than the enmity forged by the second ancestor back then! "
"When I learned that a great cultivator of the God Refining Realm appeared on Kaiyang Mountain, I already believed that the Luo family would be wiped out without leaving any chickens or dogs!"
"The new headmaster of Xuantian Temple is very benevolent and has given him an opportunity. If our Luo family fails to grasp it and shows enough sincerity, it will be completely destroyed!"
He sighed, and then said: "No matter how bad the situation is now, at least we are still alive, there is still hope in the future, the bloodline is still inherited, and the descendants can still reproduce..."
After saying this, everyone looked solemn and began to understand the great elder's painstaking efforts.
"What's more, the other party didn't completely exploit everything, and he didn't ask for excessive amounts. At least, he still left some foundation for our Luo family..."
The eldest elder of the Luo family looked high-spirited and said: "In the past ten years, it will be extremely difficult to hand over all the profits to Xuantian Temple, but it can be regarded as a meritorious service! In another ten years, I, Qujiang Luo Shi, can breathe a sigh of relief , continuing the previous situation..."
"What the Great Elder said is absolutely true!"
Luo Tu finally spoke and said: "You should all know the current situation of our Luo family..."
Everyone was silent when they heard the words.
The Qujiang Luo family's business now covers the three regions, which is even better than when the second ancestor Luo Chen was still alive!
Without Luo Chen, a powerful cauldron-casting expert, Qujiang Luo Clan not only did not lose power, but instead prospered day by day. The reason for this was the prestige of Xuantian Temple!
But three years ago, Xuantian Temple was in civil strife until it was destroyed!
Since then, the Qujiang Luo clan has lost the protection of the No. 1 Sect of the Ziyang Region!
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!
The weapon refining business that spans the three major domains is really too enviable!
All parties have already begun to unite to divide the interests and encroach on the Qujiang Luo family.
And the actions of the previous head of the family on Kaiyang Mountain that day also had a hint of bluff.
After he took back the Duan Chen Sword, he easily beheaded the deacon of Xuantian Temple, showing off his sharp edge, just to make outsiders mistakenly think that he relied on the second ancestor's magic sword to be as powerful as a cauldron!
Use this momentum to intimidate all parties and try to preserve the Qujiang Luo Clan's position in the Ziyang Territory!
"Without Xuantian Temple, I, the Qujiang Luo clan, would be in a dire situation."
The Great Elder said aloud: "With the Xuantian Temple, I have a chance to breathe and have the hope of reattaching to the No. 1 Sect of the Purple Sun Region!"
Luo Tu deeply agreed, nodded and said: "No one can use Xuantian Temple now. I, Qujiang Luo Shi, will try my best, so I may not be unable to be reused!"
"The Great Elder has foresight!"
At this moment, another elder was seen, bowing down and shouting loudly: "If it weren't for the great elder's intervention, the whole clan would have been wiped out. I would like to make the great elder the current head of the family!"
As this elder spoke, the other elders also looked at each other, and immediately fell down one after another to worship the master of the family.
In the past few days, the great elder first eliminated the clan members, and then flattered others, almost giving away all his family property. In fact, there were many controversies in the clan. After today's explanation, it suddenly became clear.
Seeing everyone prostrate themselves and respect the elder as the next head of the family, Luo Hong's expression was blank at first, and then became complicated.
Although he was stupid, he was not a fool, and he still vaguely sensed the anomaly in this.
But today, as everyone expected, the great elder who failed to compete for the position of head of the family forty years ago has finally secured his position!
——
It was noon.
The eldest elder, who had been regarded as the current head of the family, personally brought wine and delicacies, and walked up the mountain to pay homage to the two envoys.
But at this moment, his heart was full of excitement, and despite his old age, he showed a sense of high spirits at this moment.
Throughout the ages, among the Qujiang Luo family, the person with the highest level of cultivation was the second ancestor, Luo Chen.
And his grandfather is Luo Chen!
But back then, the second ancestor caused the disaster of annihilation of the clan. Later, he used his life to forge a sword, and then he sought the protection of Xuantian Temple and made the Luo family a vassal.
Before his death, the second ancestor felt deeply ashamed and believed that his own lineage was no longer qualified to be the head of the family, so the position of head of the family was passed on to his nephew.
And Luo Chen, the second ancestor back then, was his grandfather.
As for his father, he was once the young master of the Luo family, but in the end he failed to succeed him as the head of the family. He was deeply affected and spent the rest of his life decadent and dissolute until his death.
"After a hundred years, the position of the head of the family has finally returned to the orthodox position!"
Thinking of this, the great elder looked towards the mountain with a smile on his lips.
Perhaps the entire Luo family has been weakened by internal and external troubles.
But for his lineage, it is to bring order out of chaos!
He could know that whether it was from within the Luo family, or from outside rumors, or even to Xuantian Guan, he was groveling today.
Later generations will record that the head of the family of his generation took orders in times of crisis and turned the tide, continuing the legacy of the Luo family.
But only he understands in his heart that he is the biggest winner who hides in the secret, completes the plan, achieves the goal, and obtains real benefits!
With this thought in mind, he climbed up the mountain.
When he saw Lu Wan, he immediately bowed and saluted, and then opened the food box.
"Honorable Sir, this wine comes from the southern mountains. It is Monkey Wine, but the person who brewed this wine is the Great Demon of Zhuding."
"Oh?" Lu Wan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Where does such spiritual wine come from?"
"More than twenty years ago, some human cultivators were traveling in the mountains. They accidentally discovered a place where wine was hidden and stole three altars. On their way back to Daqian, they were chased by the monkey king. In the end, they luckily escaped with their lives..."
"Later, this person sold one of the jars to my Luo family's weapon refining hall and exchanged it for three magical weapons."
The great elder said in a low voice: "This jar of wine has been sealed for twenty years and is presented to the venerable man today!"
Lu Wan raised the wine jar and poured out a glass. Sure enough, the aroma of wine was overflowing. After just one sip, the true energy in his body was ready to stir.
"It is indeed a good wine. This is such a heavy gift, and it is worthy enough to be given to the Domain Master of the Ziyang Domain."
Lu Wan said this with a smile on his face: "If I, the headmaster of Xuantian Temple, were here today, it would be excusable for the great elder to treat me like this! But now that I am given a young monk in the Qi Refining Realm, it seems that People are surprised..."
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. Everyone in the world knows that today, Xuantian Temple, you two are highly respected by the master, and you will have a bright future in the future!"
The great elder said: "Furthermore, if the Luo family has committed such a serious crime and is able to survive, no matter how strict the courtesy is, it is not enough..."
As he said this, he introduced other dishes.
For example, after killing a fish demon in the Qi Refining Realm, the scales and bones are removed, and the flesh is cut off, leaving only the fish skin, which is more than an inch thick.
After the fish skin is cooked, cut into strips, supplemented with various seasonings, and served cold.
There were seven other dishes, but Lu Wan was not interested in listening to his full introduction. He only waved his hand and spoke calmly.
"If my guess is correct, do you want me, the superior headmaster, to recognize your lineage as the head of the Qujiang Luo family?"
"..." The great elder was shocked, his face changed slightly, and he felt uneasy about being read through his mind.
"For you, becoming the head of the family should be a great joy, but the current situation of the Luo family is really not suitable for celebration! However, if you invite me to drink, it is just and legitimate. No one dares to object, but you can count it in your heart. Did you celebrate yourself?"
Lu Wan smiled and said: "I think you should be quite proud at this moment! After all... in your eyes, everyone in the world is just a pawn!"
