Chapter 688 - 688 Besieged
688 Besieged
Besieged
Even if the Song and Wang families did not attack, the He family was not far from falling apart.
Especially the Great Elder, who was the oldest in the He family because he was older than his father.
He often worked with the Second Elder, Fifth Elder, and others to make things difficult for He Tian.
Although the Great Elder and Second Elder were at the late stage of Spirit Accumulation Realm, and the Fifth Elder was only at the early stage of Spirit Accumulation Realm, the Great Elder and Second Elder were still at the late stage of the Spirit Accumulation Realm.
They were much weaker than He Tian, but they still did not recognize He Tian as the Clan Leader and often made a mountain out of a molehill!
Previously, they had Fourth Uncle’s help and could suppress them.
He Linsen was a cultivator in the intermediate stage of the Spirit Accumulation Realm. Although he was weaker than the First Elder and the Second Elder, he was more than enough to suppress them with He Tian, who was in the Life Cultivation realm.
But now that Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle were not around, they would definitely be unscrupulous.
These old fellows usually did a lot of bad things behind his back!
“Let’s go take a look! If it doesn’t work, I’ll get rid of them in one fell swoop!” He Chuan was concerned about his father. Without waiting for He Yong to finish his nagging, he walked out of the small courtyard coldly.
“What?” He Yong, who was about to follow, suddenly looked at He Chuan with a dumbfounded expression.
Get rid of them?
The Great Elder and the Second Elder were both at the late stage of the Spirit Accumulation Realm. How could they be ‘get rid’?
Moreover, the Great Elder was the oldest in the He family. He Tian had to call him respectfully.
His prestige in the He family was second only to the Clan Leader, and there were many people who supported him.
Getting rid of them would definitely cause internal strife in the He family!
There were many people standing in the large courtyard.
Amongst them were the Great Elder and Second Elder.
They stared at He Tian with unfriendly expressions.
“Uncle, what do you want?” He Tian’s face was ashen. His cold gaze swept across the crowd as he berated in a deep voice. “He Tian addressed the Great Elder as uncle in private because the Great Elder was more senior than He Tian.
“I heard that yesterday, Feng Yuan and Xu Li were chased out of the He family’s pill store by He Chuan.” Great Elder’s expression did not change. He cupped his hands and said,
“The He family has already completely shed all pretense of cordiality with the Song and Wang families and formed a feud.” Great Elder’s tone suddenly increased.
Now, he was handing Feng Yuan and Xu Li over to the Wang Clan. This was akin to cutting off his own foundation and becoming a powerful enemy.
“He Chuan will destroy the He family sooner or later!”
The He family’s pill store was supported by Feng Yuan and Xu Li, two intermediate-level Pill Masters.
Now that He Chuan had privately expelled the Pill Masters, how could the pill store continue to operate?
Losing the authority of the He Clan in Canglan City meant that they would suffer a disastrous decline!
At that time, the Song and Wang families would not even need to make a move. The He family would be finished!
“Therefore, on behalf of the He family’s elders, we hope that the Clan Leader will deal with it impartially and punish He Chuan severely!” Second Elder echoed.
“Punish Chuan’er severely?” He Tian’s face sank.
“He Chuan acted recklessly and harmed the family’s interests. He must be severely punished.” Great Elder said coldly.
He had already discussed with the elders that He family’s current predicament was caused by He Chuan.
Therefore, they decided to send He Chuan to the Song family and hand him over to Song Qin.
“It’s to resolve the grudges and make the Song and He families reconcile!”
“He Changlong, do you still have me in your eyes? Were they preparing to force the abdication? I still have the final say in the He family!” He Tian’s face was ashen as he shouted.
He Changlong was the First Elder’s real name!
“How dare you call me by my name? Moreover, you’re so biased toward your own son, you’re not fit to be the Can Leader!” The second Elder frowned angrily.
“He Wendong, do you still have humanity? That’s your nephew!” He Tian scolded angrily.
Moreover, He Chuan was from a direct bloodline.
If it wasn’t for the fact that his talent was unparalleled and they had attracted countless resources, He family wouldn’t have been able to achieve what they had today.
Three years ago, he encountered a disaster, his bones and muscles were crippled, and he had no fate with martial arts. These people looked at him coldly and treated him in isolation, making him suffer from rolling his eyes.
A few days ago, the Song family broke the contract and did not hesitate to frame and slander He Chuan, breaking his limbs.
The few people in front of him didn’t think about how to unite and face the clan’s disaster together.
Instead, they had to kneel and lick the Song family’s boots time and time again.
Did this group of people have any shame?
“The He family can have today’s achievements because of the concerted efforts of our family members. When did it become He Chuan’s work alone?” The Great Elder suddenly shouted in a deep voice.
Before he could finish his sentence, a powerful late-stage Spirit Accumulation Realm’s power erupted from the Great Elder’s body.,
His aura was thick and awe-inspiring.
He Tian was furious.
It seemed they were preparing to seize power by force. Ever since he became the Clan Leader, He Tian rarely made a move. The clansmen had probably long forgotten that he was also a martial artist!
A thick spiritual energy that belonged to the early stage of the Life Cultivation Realm burst out. It was even more powerful than the Great Elder’s.
In an instant, two figures collided.
The sky shook and the ground trembled.
In the blink of an eye, the two figures suddenly separated.
He Tian withdrew his fist and took a step back.
The Great Elder took a few steps back. His face was flushed red and his breathing was a little chaotic.
“Everyone, attack together!”
The second Elder and Fifth Elder nodded at the same time, and their cultivation surged.
The three of them instantly formed a pincer attack and surrounded He Tian.
He Tian was so angry that he laughed.
Although he knew that the Great Elder and the others harbored disloyalty, he was still a little worried.
How was he trying to make the He family stable? He was completely trying to destroy the He family!
Bang!
In an instant, the courtyard was in a chaotic battle. Spiritual energy shot out with great power.
All the clansmen stepped aside and watched the four figures coldly.
Although they didn’t interfere, their gazes were cautious as they gradually surrounded him, ready to attack at any moment.
He Tian was in the early stage of the Life Cultivation Realm, while the Great Elder and the other two were in the Spirit Accumulation Realm. To them, it would not be worth it to act rashly. It was better to stay at the side and wait for He Tian’s spiritual energy to be exhausted before attacking in groups.
When the Third and Fourth Elders returned, it would be useless.
“Tyrant Lion Fist!”
Facing the joint attack of three Spirit Accumulation Realm martial artists, He Tian was fearless and directly used the He family’s ultimate skill.
He Tian was at the early stage of the Life Cultivation Realm, and he could unleash the power of the top-grade ordinary martial art, the Tyrant Lion Fist, to the extreme.
A punch was thrown out, and the nine powers overlapped. It was as brilliant as a tiger descending from the mountain. It was powerful, and the fist wind howled.
The dense spiritual energy condensed into nine ferocious lions that charged out with great momentum.
The expressions of the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Fifth Elder changed slightly. They hurriedly formed a barrier to resist together.
The nine lions galloped with terrifying power and instantly collided with the spiritual energy barrier.
Boom!
The air exploded, and the earth trembled.
The three of them could barely fight to a draw with He Tian.
Even though he had blocked the Nine Lions’ attack, the blood in his body was still churning as he staggered back.
“Quickly consume the Burning Spirit Pill!” The Great Elder immediately swallowed the pill and reminded him at the same time.
The Burning Spirit Pill was a top-notch Ordinary Pill that could temporarily increase the spiritual energy in a martial artist’s body, allowing his cultivation to obtain a temporary burst, at least increasing the strength of a small realm!
He Tian’s expression changed slightly and his heart tightened.
With the medicinal power of the Burning Spirit Pill, the late-stage Spirit Accumulation Realm’s Great Elder and Second Elder had temporarily attained the peak level.
With the addition of the Fifth Elder, who was in the initial stage of the Spirit Accumulation Realm, he had advanced to the middle stage of the Spirit Accumulation Realm.
With the three of them working together, even He Tian felt strong pressure!
