Yue Shanggu's brief words were like throwing a huge boulder on the calm lake. Most people in the secret room stood up in surprise.
Perhaps his words would not have caused such a strong response elsewhere, but since the founding of the Yuezhi family, all members of the Yuezhi family have received the education of loyalty to Tiangong.
It can be said that the Heavenly Palace is deeply rooted in the bones of everyone.
Yue Shanggu actually discovered the descendant of Tiangong!
This is the first time that the "Tiangong" has appeared in the Shanhai Continent since that earth-shattering change.
In fact, many people have regarded Tiangong as a legend and believed that it never really existed.
Now the descendants of the Heavenly Palace have appeared in the Tianlongmen territory.
Just when everyone was in shock and doubt, Yue Xiaotian raised a question.
"Although you were very wise in ancient times, how could you judge the identity of the other party's Tiangong successor? Did he take the initiative to tell you?"
"No, I took the initiative to investigate."
"how do I say this?"
Yue Shanggu spoke out the speech he had prepared long ago, mainly because he suspected the mysterious force active in the Tianlongmen territory.
He had long concluded that the other party would not be an external force, and the fact that it could develop so rapidly from scratch under the supervision of the Taiyi Sect reminded him of Tiangong.
Unexpectedly, he guessed correctly that the leader of this force was the descendant of Tiangong.
Other members of the family are convinced of this, firstly because of Yue Shanggu's wisdom, and secondly because what he said makes sense.
No force can start from scratch and quickly develop into a dominant force.
Although in their eyes, the opponent's strength is still very weak, that is because it has not been inherited for a long time. "Did you identify yourself?"
"yes."
"What did the other party say?"
"He behaves very cautiously. I have never seen his true appearance, and I don't trust the Yuezhi family."
Regarding the family's performance, Yue Shanggu's heart began to sink slowly. Everything was as expected by the young master.
He recalled what the Young Master said that day, "If Tiangong was at its peak now, the Yue family would be happy to join them. But when they find out that Tiangong is still very weak, they will naturally become coveted. This is human nature."
Yue Shanggu, who has been taught to be loyal to Tiangong since he was a child, firmly believes that his people will be unconditionally loyal to the young master like him.
But Chu Ming made this test plan, and it was obvious that the family failed to pass the test.
Although he was very sad in his heart, he remained calm on the surface and showed no emotion at all.
"He really thinks of himself as a big shot. He is just a lucky boy. What qualifications do he have to demand the loyalty of the Yuezhi family?"
The speaker was the uncle's grandson Yue Shinian. As a leader of the new generation, he naturally looked down on the descendants of Tiangong who relied on "luck".
"Ancient, what do you think?"
Yue Xiaotian ignored his son's clamor and instead asked him gently for his opinion.
"I have no specific opinions. Everything is based on family interests."
Hearing what Yue Shanggu said, Yue Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief and slowly released his fists that were shrunk in his sleeves.
"The reason why our Yuezhi family swore allegiance to Tiangong is because they showed great kindness to the family back then."
"But now that the heirs of the palace have no connection with them, if they ask the family to follow them, I'm afraid they won't be able to convince the public."
"What my father said is right. I am the first to object to loyalty to a stranger."
"This statement is incorrect."
Yue Xiaolang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke back and retorted. Because of his usual power within the family, after he spoke, the scene became quiet.
"After all, the Yuezhi family has received great favor from Tiangong. It can be said that without Tiangong, there would be no Yuezhi family today."
After saying this, he paused for a moment and looked around the whole place with a majestic look. All the younger members of the family were suppressed by him and could not even lift their heads.
"We have a constant relationship with Tiangong. How can we sit back and watch it fall into the hands of outsiders without asking anything. We, the Yuezhi family, have the responsibility to carry forward Tiangong."
"Grandpa San means..."
At this moment, Yue Shi Nian regained his interest.
"Of course we need to take back the Tiangong and rectify its name. Only in the hands of our Yuezhi family can the Tiangong inheritance play its real role."
"Third Grandpa is wise!"
Yue Shinian seemed very excited about Yue Xiaolang's proposal. If he could get the inheritance from Tiangong, he would probably become the number one among the young generation in mainland China.
Yue Xiaolang's proposal caused the expressions of everyone in the family to change again, ranging from greed, excitement, contemplation, contempt, etc., just like all living beings.
"In ancient times, you have always been shrewd and thorough in doing things. It is impossible that you did not leave a backup plan and lost the clue of Tiangong."
"Third uncle is overly praised. I did make a one-year agreement with him. At that time, I mainly wanted to show him the strength of our family so that he could accept us."
Hearing what he said, even Yue Xiaotian couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"In any case, we all have constant contact with Tiangong. Thanks to my third brother for reminding me in time. Although I don't want to get involved too much, I can't bear it falling into Xiaoxiao's hands and ruining Tiangong's reputation. "
"Father, what do you think?"
Yue Mingjie is the only martial artist in the family and the father of the three brothers. Although he has not been involved in family affairs for a long time, today's scene made him feel uncomfortable.
"The moon waxes and wanes. When a family is at its peak, it is the beginning of its decline."
After saying that, his slightly cloudy eyes swept over everyone present, finally stopping briefly on Yue Shanggu, and then sighed softly.
"I have stopped interfering with family affairs a long time ago. I also uphold the concept that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I have never interfered with your decisions, and I will not today, but I would like to ask you a few questions."
"Our Yuezhi family has been able to pass on the legacy for such a long time because every generation has heroes who lead the family forward."
"With so many sages, no one proposed overturning the ancestral precepts of allegiance to the Heavenly Palace. Are you smarter than all your ancestors?"
"After that shocking change, the sects such as Wuliang Holy Land searched for the Heavenly Palace inheritance in the Exile Domain for a hundred years, but found nothing."
"It seems to have disappeared in the long river of history. Hundreds of thousands of years have passed. Now it has a new owner, and it is still a key node before the arrival of the great war."
"How can you so easily judge that this person is a mediocre person? How dare you! Are you still trying to steal the inheritance of the Heavenly Palace? Did you not sleep well last night, so you came here talking in your sleep!"
"Being able to meet the descendants of the Heavenly Palace in ancient times is the guidance of our ancestors. This is God's reward for our Yuezhi family's persistence for hundreds of thousands of years."
"Let me ask you, if there was no Heavenly Palace, where would the highest point of our Yuezhi family's development be?"
Yue Mingjie's inspiring question sent shivers down the spines of many tribesmen, breaking into cold sweats. They did not dare to answer the ancestor's question at all.
"Becoming the overlord of the Eastern Region is the result of many years of planning in ancient times."
Regarding this, even Yue Shi Nian and others have to admit it.
It is simply impossible to enter the Central Territory. There are a large number of first-class sects concentrated there, and there is also the giant existence of the Infinite Holy Land.
"What if we can integrate into Tiangong? No one can predict the future of Tiangong, so who can easily set restrictions on our Yue family!"
Yue Mingjie's domineering self-questions and answers made most of the people present feel ashamed, but there were always some people who sat calmly on their chairs because they had not changed their original intentions.
Yue Mingjie kept saying that he would not interfere in the decisions of his juniors, but his words completely changed the atmosphere on the court.
Even Yue Xiaolang, who advocated the fight for the inheritance of the Tiangong, became as silent as a cicada. He sat there without saying a word, and no longer had the magnanimity that he had just pointed out.
Yue Xiaotian sat there in the same embarrassment. After his father made some shocking remarks, everything he said was wrong.
"But no matter how many benefits there are to following Tiangong, our Yue family will disappear, so what's the point of all this?"
Everyone looked at Yue Shinian as if they were an idiot.
But he had no worries about this at all.
Because his father died young, he is the first heir to the head of the Yue family.
Yue Shinian is still waiting for his grandfather to abdicate and take over the family.
He didn't want to give up his position as the patriarch and become someone else's subordinate.
Seeing his performance, Yue Mingjie felt a surge of regret in his heart.
Due to his status as the heir to the Yue Shinian clan leader, he was treated differently from others when he was born.
In addition, his own talent is also good, Yue Mingjie also likes him very much.
He has developed the habit of being self-centered, arrogant and short-sighted since he was a child.
Like a frog at the bottom of a well, he can only see the sky as big as a palm above his head and cannot understand the vastness of the outside world.
It's useless for Yue Mingjie to regret it any more. He can't escape the blame for Yue Shinian's current condition.
"I said, I will not interfere with your decision. Each of you can make your own choice. Didn't you have a one-year agreement with the descendant of Tiangong in ancient times?"
"Yes, Grandpa."
"Then give the clansmen the right to choose. If they intend to abide by the ancestral precepts, they can naturally swear to join the Tiangong."
"If you feel that you don't have such a deep connection with Tiangong, you can stay in the family."
Yue Mingjie gave his suggestions and did not express any subjective emotions about the two options, making it impossible for everyone to guess his preference.
"Father, won't the family become divided in this way?"
Yue Xiaotian was a little dissatisfied with his suggestion.
Yue Mingjie looked helplessly at his stupid son, who was blinded by power just like his grandson who was a frog in a well.
Until now, I still have unrealistic illusions. In fact, since this meeting was held, the Yue family has begun to split. In other words, since the ancient Yue met the descendants of Tiangong, today's situation has been destined.
