In the Yang Clan main hall, a man with a light blue goatee sat with his legs crossed, chuckling to himself – Yang Zi .
Yang Zi was incredibly happy at the moment, as recent events had unexpectedly gone his way . His cousin Yang Fu had gone off to some backwater to cultivate, leaving him in utter suspense for the past few months .
As time pa.s.sed though, he had become calmer . The fact that Yang Fu hadn"t returned in seven months could only mean one thing – he"d failed .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
It was a glorious moment for Yang Zi, for an eternity he had been jealous of his older cousin . Personally selected by Elder Lao, meeting a bride that"s far more beautiful than all of his combined! The heavens were cruel, the only solace he could take was that his wife was barren . Alas though, his wife had finally given birth, to a boy no less .
It was as if a stake had been plunged into Yang Zi"s heart, almost unable to accept it . The final blow had yet to come though; the righteous and honorable Yang Fu was about to make a breakthrough in his cultivation!
Yang Zi had quivered in his boots; he had been continuously receiving threats from the Dark Moon Sect, telling him unless he could secure the Yang Clan his line would be wiped out .
Although Yang Zi was in an internal conflict, and couldn"t be called the most kind-hearted as men, he still cared deeply for his family . Especially his children, often would he gift them Spirit Fruits and Medical Pills, the thought of them exterminated shook him to his very core .
There was only one choice; he must secure the Yang Clan! For his children"s sake, even if it means killing another"s children with his own two hands .
"Enough!" One of the elders interrupted while slamming his fist onto the arm of his chair .
"We have delayed long enough, Yang Fu is obviously no longer around, and without a breakthrough into Coloured Star Realm, our Yang Clan has no defenses whatsoever! That measly Kuo Clan could finally come with an army and destroy us . "
"Worst of all, we have no allies . The Azure Cloud Sect that we"ve allied with; that the ancestors helped co-found has abandoned us! We must elect Yang Zi to the patriarch position immediately . Otherwise, millennia of Yang Clan history shall be eradicated in a few days!" The grey-bearded elder shouted at the council, demanding a vote that they had put off for years now .
His words were moving and touched the heart of the entire council, the threat of their whole Clan disappearing was indeed a great motivator to discard Yang Fu, so that they may protect themselves .
Standing from his chair, the elder smiled, "Now I call for a vote, all those that wish to vote for life, and Yang Zi to become patriarch raise your hand . "
The seven elders of the Yang Clan all looked at each other, sighing . They knew what had to be done for their survival . Some cursed that Yang Fu hadn"t come back alive, or that the old patriarch had disappeared . Others relished at the moment and had been working for this day for too long .
Five of the seven elders raised their hands, which caused the grey-bearded one to smile . "It seems that the vote is conclusive, I would like to be the first to congratulate Patriarch Yang Zi on his ascension to the position of patriarch!"
Yang Zi took a humble bow, "Thank you, elders; I promise you I won"t let down the faith you"ve placed in me . I just hope I"m worthy of your trust . "
