Chapter 722 - Leave Your Body Intact (1/2)

Facing the barrage of questions, Chu Xuanming and his son had nothing to say. What they had been thinking about before was how much benefits they would get after they succeeded and never considered the possibility of failure.

Qin Haodong said in a cold voice, “People like you don’t deserve to live in this world at all. But since you are from the Chu family, I will leave your bodies intact.”

Seeing that Qin Haodong wanted to kill them, Chu Xuanming and his son knew that they could not stop him. They jumped up from the ground and were about to escape, but after taking two steps, two gusts of wind were shot into their backs.

“Plop… plop…”

Chu Xuanming and Chu Mingcong fell to the ground beside Chiba Mieko’s body. There was no breath left in either of them.

Seeing the two core disciples of the Chu family being killed, all the others were shocked. But under such circumstances, no one dared to make a sound. The big hall was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breath.

Everyone knew that the matter did not seem to be over. It was likely that the Chu family would not be able to escape this time.

As expected, Qin Haodong slowly came to his senses. He said to Chu Shanhe, who was standing next to him, “At first, my mother and I came back to celebrate your birthday, but what did the Chu family do? They deliberately tried to set us up. As the master of the family, you can’t be forgiven.”

Chu Shanhe did not care about the pain of losing his son. He quickly said, “These were all done by my unfilial son behind my back. I don’t know anything about it.”

“Of course I know that. If you’re involved, you would not have the chance to talk to me anymore.”

Qin Haodong stood up, exuding a strong momentum that suppressed all the people present. He said lightly, “I could have destroyed your family from the capital based on what the Chu family has done to me, but I will give you a chance for my mother’s sake.

“Abdicate and give up the position of the master of the family to my uncle and then leave the capital. I will let the Chu family go this time.”

Feeling his powerful momentum, all the members of the Chu family kept silent. When they heard that he only asked Chu Shanhe to abdicate, these people immediately breathed a collective sigh of relief. Compared with the destruction of the Chu family, this was the best choice.

As for the masters of the other six great families, although they looked very calm, they felt extremely restless in their hearts. Except for Qin Haodong, no one could force a master from a great family to abdicate.

Although he knew that this was already the lightest punishment, Chu Shanhe still said unwillingly, “Haodong, my position will be passed to Xuanli sooner or later, but now he is still a little young.”

“If I retire from the position of the master of the family, I am afraid that he will not be able to control the other family members. What do you think? If we can delay it for a few years, I will automatically give the position to Chu Xuanli in ten years.”

Qin Haodong turned to look at the Chu family and asked, “My uncle will serve as the master of the Chu family. Are you all in agreement?”

His voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty.

“I support Chu Xuanli to be the master of the Chu family!”

The first one to speak was the First Elder, Chu Shanchuan.

Second Elder, Chu Shanhai, also shouted, “I support Chu Xuanli to be the master of the Chu family.”

These two people were the most prestigious elders of the Chu family. After they spoke, the other members of the Chu family also echoed, “We support Chu Xuanli as the family master!”

“I don’t have any objections. Chu Xuanli is the most suitable person to be the master of the family.”

These people had seen it clearly. The vicious old woman, Jin Xiuying, had completely offended Chu Xuanyue and her son. In addition, Chu Xuanming had just done many disdainful things. If Chun Shanhe did not let Chu Xuanli be the master of the family, the Chu family would be doomed.

Moreover, they also knew that Chu Xuanli had the closest relationship with Qin Haodong. He was the only one in the Chu family who was recognized by Qin Haodong. Once Chu Xuanli became the master of the family, the Chu family would definitely get the full support of the Tang Sect. It would be difficult for them not to be powerful in the future.

As long as the Chu family’s power increased, their interests would naturally be guaranteed. The children of these great families had always taken their benefits as the most important factor. As long as they could guarantee their own interests, it did not matter who would be the family master.

Moreover, Chu Xuanli was already a level-nine supreme power master. As the master of the family, he could immediately strengthen the Chu family and no one could find any reason to oppose him.

Therefore, under Qin Haodong’s interrogation, all the members of the Chu family present stood out to support Chu Xuanli as the master of the family. It was evident that the general family members were in favor of him.

Looking at these people in front of him, Chu Shanhe’s face turned pale. He knew that his position as the master of the family was really coming to an end. He could only say helplessly, “Well, from today onward, I will retire from the position. I will leave the capital in a few days.”

At this moment, his heart was full of remorse. If he had regarded Qin Haodong as his own grandson from the beginning, if he could move Chu Xuanyue with family love this time, it might not have ended this way.

But there was no chance for regret in this world. He could only think about it in his heart.

Chu Xuanli had not yet recovered from the shock. Recently, things had changed too fast. Not only had he jumped from an ordinary level-six supreme power master to a level-nine supreme power master, but he had also become the master of the Chu family. He could not accept it for a while.

Since the matter of the Chu family had been completely resolved, Qin Haodong did not want to stay any longer. He left the Chu family with a group of people and returned to the Tang Sect.

After seeing them leave, Chu Shanhe sighed, walked up to Jin Xiuying and lifted his hand to release her acupuncture points.

“Son… Grandson…”

As soon as she regained her mobility, Jin Xiuying stumbled toward Chu Xuanming’s and Chu Mingcong’s bodies, holding them in her arms and crying.

After a while, she raised her head again, stared at Chu Shanhe with blood-red eyes and scolded, “Are you still a man or not? How dare you watch that bastard kill your son and grandson!”

Chu Shanhe was holding back his anger and had nowhere to vent it. How could he tolerate Jin Xiuying’s temper? He immediately shouted angrily, “Enough. If it weren’t for you, the Chu family’s affairs would not have ended up like this!”

Jin Xiuying was stunned at first and then she shouted crazily again, “I don’t care. I only know that bastard has killed my son and grandson. I want him to pay with his life. I will call the police. I want him to die!”

She had just taken out her mobile phone, but it was smashed into pieces by Chu Shanhe’s blow.
