When Bai Zhenming was about to rebel, he had already arranged everything.
Almost everyone in the Bai family was grounded. All the servants and maids were strictly ordered to stay in their rooms. If they dared to wander around, they would be beaten to death on the spot. It was the same for some distant clansmen.
As for the noble elders of the Xianfang clan and some elite children, they hid in the underground chambers and secret passages that had been built in advance. There were water and food, as well as vicious traps and sharp weapons, enough to ensure the safety of the Bai family elites to the greatest extent.
However, everyone knew that Rushou had unreasonably caused a large-scale earthquake. More than half of the underground chambers and passageways that the Bai family had painstakingly built collapsed. The poor Bai family elites were either dead or injured. There were not many who survived. Even after several hours of rescue work, there were not many who were saved.
There were even fewer who were willing to come and see Sun Lang.
Not long after Wei Zhongxian left, he brought in a dozen or so Bai family elders who had yet to recover from their shock. Some of them still had traces of fear on their faces, while others were calmly looking around. Most of them were looking at Sun Lang, who was sitting in the main seat of the meeting hall.
Wei Zhongxian, on the other hand, walked directly behind Sun Lang. He narrowed his eyes and lowered his head, turning back into an ordinary old servant.
Sun Lang said, "Just these few?"
Wei Zhongxian lowered his head and replied, "Yes. Some of the elders are injured or worried about their family property, so they are indifferent to us. We can't force them to come."
Sun Lang nodded and said, "Then there's no need for them to come."
Looking at the Bai family elders with different expressions, Sun Lang sat boldly on the main seat and said to them, "The first thing is to report the situation to all of you. Bai Yuwei is dead, Bai Zhenming is dead, and that Steward Bai is also dead."
The faces of the Bai Clan members suddenly changed. Even the most shrewd of them almost cried out in alarm … In these past few years, Bai Yuwei had been like a god to them. Bai Yuwei was the sky of the Bai Clan. It was under his protection that the Bai Clan became the number one clan in the Qin Prefecture. But now …
Without giving them time to panic or cry, Sun Lang said, "The second thing, my name is Sun Lang. I'm Bai Yuwei's comrade and can be considered his junior. You can call me his disciple or his adopted son, it's up to you.
Now that he's dead, the Bai Clan has no one to rely on. Naturally, I can't just sit by and do nothing … "
The eyes of a few smart people suddenly moved, and a faint joy rose from the bottom of their eyes.
— — The Clan Head was dead, and the old thing was also dead. In other words, the Bai Clan's Clan Head was finished, and the position of Clan Head would definitely fall into the hands of the collateral branches.
This guy surnamed Sun seemed to have some connections. No matter whether what he said was true or not, it was necessary to win him over. After all, he was an outsider. If he wanted to take care of the Bai Clan, he had to establish a new Clan Head …
But before they could finish their wishful thinking, they heard Sun Lang say, "So, from today onwards, I'm the acting Clan Head of the Bai Clan. I'll restore the order of the Bai Clan as soon as possible, reorganize the Bai Clan's properties and carry out reforms. If you cooperate with my work, I can let you drink more soup."
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
Even the Wulin heroes who hadn't left yet felt that this was a bit too much.
— — Hey, hey, hey, you beat Bai Yuwei like a dog over there. If it weren't for Bai Yuwei's interference, I'm afraid the Bai Clan would have been burned to the ground by you. Now you want to swallow the entire Bai Clan in the blink of an eye?
Your table manners are too unsightly, aren't you?
These foreign Wulin heroes all felt that Sun Lang's table manners were too ugly, let alone the Bai Clan. They were all stakeholders. Suddenly, someone jumped out to claim the ownership of the entire Bai Clan. No one could stand it.
Someone gathered his courage and said, "You … Words have no proof. Who can prove that you're the Elder Ancestor's disciple?"
Sun Lang smiled and said, "Good question."
He stretched out his hand, and a white sharp golden light rose from his palm. The sharp Holy Sword turned from illusory to solid, outlining the fierce and murderous outline of the sword.
Whether it was the Bai Clan or the Wulin heroes, they were all attracted by the cold light and the dazzling Holy Sword. Many people murmured, "The Holy Sword of Gold Glory …"
No one denied or questioned the authenticity of the Holy Sword. When the golden light shone, everyone knew in their hearts … This was indeed the Holy Sword that Bai Yuwei relied on to become famous.
At this time, it fell into the hands of this young man.
Sun Lang inserted the Holy Sword of Gold Glory into the ground and said, "This is the token. Bai Yuwei gave this sword to me, which is equivalent to entrusting the Bai Clan to me. There's no problem, right?
Since there's no problem, let's get to work. First, you all sign up and let me get to know … "
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a graceful old man with a long beard came out of the crowd. He looked at Sun Lang and said with a gentle expression, "Nephew Sun, right?
This old man is Brother Yu Wei's younger brother. I'll call you nephew.
This old man thinks that the so-called acting Patriarch matter needs to be discussed at length … "
Sun Lang asked with a smile, "What do you want to discuss?"
The old man stroked his long beard and nodded, "Nephew, you're young and talented. Your martial arts and character are excellent, but managing a clan is a great skill. Nephew, although you're talented and intelligent, but the affairs of the clan are complicated. I'm afraid that you won't be able to handle it alone. It will also drag down your martial arts cultivation …"
Sun Lang nodded and said, "That's reasonable, that's reasonable. Then what do you think?"
The old man's eyes flashed with joy and said, "I've been here for dozens of years. Although I don't have any great skills, I still have experience in managing the clan's affairs. In my opinion, such trivial matters should be left to us to discuss.
Nephew, you're not a member of the Bai Clan. If you rashly intervene in the Bai Clan's affairs, you'll be giving people the right to gossip. How about this, this old man has a granddaughter, sixteen years old. She can be considered gentle and lovely. I'd like to betroth her to you … "
As he spoke, the other old masters of the Bai Clan praised in their hearts. The older the ginger, the spicier it was. This kind of hothead, if they first flattered him, then tempted him with beauty and treasures, he would basically be bewitched. If they used marriage to win him over, sooner or later he would become a hired thug of the Bai Clan …
And the Gold Luminous Sacred Sword … This was the Bai Clan's property. How could it fall into the hands of outsiders? The Sacred Sword was bestowed by the imperial court. How could the old man privately give it to an outsider? It would be better to find an opportunity to complain to the imperial court …
While they were thinking, they heard Sun Lang sigh and say, "I thought that as the younger brother of the old man, you would stand up this time and have a good opinion. I didn't expect you to say such vulgar words again, sigh …"
The old man was stunned.
Sun Lang turned to Wei Zhongxian and said, "The next stage of your work is to be responsible for screening the self-righteous idiots. This kind of guy who thinks he's smart can't do anything right. He'll always make trouble for you. You have to be careful."
Wei Zhongxian bowed and said, "Master, don't worry. I'm very familiar with this kind of thing."
The old man couldn't hold it in anymore. He suppressed his anger and said, "Nephew, don't think that I'm …"
With a burst of sword light, it was like a ferocious beast flying through the air, encircling the old man. The sharp sword Qi spiraled out, scattering blood mist. In the blink of an eye, the old man who had been speaking confidently was cut into a bloody mist by the thousands of sword Qi, drifting out of the house with the wind.
All of this happened too fast. In the blink of an eye, a living person was smashed into pieces. It was like a dream … but it was not a dream after all.
Some of the old masters who lived like princes suddenly changed their expressions. Their souls couldn't help but tremble. Their stomachs kept churning and their faces were pale. It was as if they were going to vomit the next moment.
But a cold wind blew through the Upright Morality Hall. Senran's murderous aura almost froze everyone's souls. They looked at Sun Lang who stood up in horror. It was as if a sheep saw a tiger. They completely lost control of their bodies — — they couldn't even vomit.
Sun Lang put away the Golden Sacred Sword and looked at everyone present. He said in a Senran tone, "Who else wants to be my cheap uncle?
I called myself Bai Yuwei's junior to give him face. I just wanted to make that old bastard happy in heaven. You all f * cking took it seriously. "
His fierce aura wreaked havoc in the whole room. His voice was like a dragon's roar and a tiger's roar. This kind of martial arts that could take people's minds with just a word was unfathomable. The people of the Bai family who knew their stuff were even more shocked. This person was not the disciple of their ancestor. His martial arts were probably not below their ancestor's.
"Now you should understand the current situation, right?
The Bai family is already a sinking ship, and only I can fix it. So, don't make trouble for me, and don't even think about taking advantage of the sinking ship to take some things and run away. I'm very busy, and I don't have time to compete with you for small benefits. You all know what you're doing, so do what I tell you to do. Otherwise, that old uncle just now will be your example. "
After he finished speaking, the terrible murderous aura suddenly dispersed. Spring returned to the earth. The ice and snow melted. Many people's legs went soft and they directly fell to the ground.
Sun Lang sat back in his seat and said lightly, "Now the Bai family is in great trouble. Bai Yuwei and his son are dead. The position of the head of the family is empty. This is a big turmoil for Qin Zhou. The plan now is to maintain stability.
First of all, we have to stabilize the situation. We have to appease the people internally and borrow strength externally … "
Although the people of the Bai family were intimidated and didn't dare to speak, they still cursed in their hearts. Damn it, you said it so easily. Appeasing the people is one thing, but borrowing strength externally?
How?
The Bai family is the number one family in Qin Zhou. A tall tree attracts the wind. It's fine if they don't hit you when you're down.
Sun Lang took in their expressions and then asked Wei Zhongxian, "Who is the Great General of Qin Zhou?"
Wei Zhongxian bowed and said, "Master, it's Great General Wang Wuan."
Sun Lang nodded and said, "So it's Wang Er Mazi … Hey, the one standing in the front row, I'm talking about you. I'll write a letter. You bring a few people to Qin Zhou and send it to Wang Wuan. Ask him to bring people to support the Bai family."
The person who was called was about to cry. He said with fear, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid Great General Wang won't come. He's been living in seclusion these years. He doesn't meet with outsiders …"
Sun Lang stared and said, "Bai Yuwei is dead. I'm the head of the family now. I asked him to come because I'm giving him face. Even if Bai Yuwei only has one breath left, he has to crawl here!"
When these words fell into other people's ears, they could no longer be described as "boundless arrogance". They were almost no different from crazy words. But when it fell into Wei Zhongxian's ears, it was very familiar and warm.
Very good, very good … Bai Yuwei, you finally did a good thing …
After all …
Wei Zhongxian's eyes flashed with a smile.
After all, the master from two years ago was better.
