The meeting of the Hall of Patriarchs was the highest decision of the family.
Of course, under normal circumstances, every Family Patriarch had absolute control over the Hall of Patriarchs. Basically, the Family Patriarch had the final say.
A wise and powerful Family Patriarch could lead the family to prosperity. He was usually one of the most powerful people in the family.
However, there were a few cases where the Family Patriarch was an idiot or a boorish man who only knew how to fight.
Therefore …
Sometimes, the meeting of the Hall of Patriarchs could save the family at the critical moment and prevent the family from falling into the abyss of destruction by following the wrong direction of the Family Patriarch.
A family was not a family of one person!
All the families in the Great Land were divided into Internal Clan, External Clan, and Guest Clan.
The Internal Clan was the backbone of the family but the External Clan was not to be underestimated. In many families, the powerful warriors of the External Clan were as powerful as the Internal Clan. Some families even had more powerful warriors of the External Clan than the Internal Clan.
Everyone worked for the same family. If the family was destroyed, the people of the External Clan would die as well.
For example, a Family Patriarch of a fourth-rank family was determined to start a war with an eighth-rank family.
Once this happened, the family might hold a meeting and the Family Patriarch might be dismissed. No one could die for an idiot!
Therefore, the decision of the Hall of Patriarchs was usually the highest decision of each family.
After the decision was made, Lu Tianhe, the Tenth Patriarch, posted the announcement to the entire city early the next morning.
The news spread across the Mystic Armor City. Tens of millions of people in the city were in an uproar.
Exiled to the Omen Island, never to be called back!
This was basically a death sentence. The Omen Island was a famous dangerous place in the eastern Central Plains. Those who went in could never come out.
In history, at least tens of thousands of disciples of the Internal Clan and the External Clan of the Lu Family were exiled to the Omen Island. Only three came out.
Lu Zhengyang's daughter and grandson …
Many people sighed. The decision was made so quickly and it was made by the Hall of Patriarchs. This was so cruel. There was no room for negotiation.
But many people were confused. Since the decision was made, why did they have to wait five days before sending them to the Omen Island?
Theoretically speaking, they should be sent out in two or three days. Was there something else?
Or could there be a change in the situation?
…
Not only the people in the city, many disciples of the Lu Family were confused as well.
The sky had just turned bright when Lu Hongyu and Lu Lin were sitting in a side hall. They hadn't slept for the entire night and didn't look good.
They had thought that they could use Lu Li to suppress Lu Ni and Lu Suan. Little did they expect that Lu Li would be suppressed so quickly. Lu Li had no chance to turn the tables.
"Sister Hongyu!"
Lu Lin thought about it and asked with a frown, "Why do you think they only sent Lu Li away after five days?
Aren't they afraid that something might happen midway? "
"What could possibly happen?"
Lu Hongyu sneered and said, "The Great Elder didn't come out during the meeting, so of course he wouldn't care about it later.
The hall meeting was the clan's highest decision, and even the Clan Head had to obey it. Furthermore … it was said that the Clan Head was in the Heaven God Residence and would only be back in a few hours.
If he didn't come back now, it was obvious that he was letting Lu Fenghuo and the others do the work while he stayed out of it.
If the Clan King wakes up in the future, he still has room to maneuver. "
"Wake up?"
Lu Lin's expressions became even gloomier. He shook his head and said, "I don't think our Family Patriarch will wake up. They dared to touch Aunt Feixue and Lu Li because they are sure of this. The Lu Family has changed dynasties."
"Changing dynasties …"
While Lu Lin was talking, he suddenly had an idea. A glint of coldness flashed through his eyes as he shouted in surprise, "Sister Hongyu, do you think they sent Lu Li away after five days on purpose to lure … Uncle Renhuang out?"
"It is possible!"
Lu Hongyu's pretty face glowed. Lu Fenghuo could convict Lu Li in just two hours, which meant that he couldn't wait to kill Lu Feixue and Lu Li. Now, he sent them away after a few days. It was highly possible that he was … fishing.
Not only Lu Fenghuo, even Patriarch Eight, Lu Hongyu and Lu Lin were suspecting that Lu Renhuang didn't go missing, but came back with Lu Li secretly.
How could a living man go missing?
How could he not care about his own son?
Lu Renhuang asked Lu Li to come back and make a scene at the Mystic Armor Mountain while he hid in the dark to observe the situation?
If Lu Renhuang came back, he wouldn't let Lu Li and Lu Feixue be exiled to the Omen Island to die.
If Lu Renhuang intercepted Lu Renhuang on the way, the family could send more troops or Lu Zhengtan could take Lu Renhuang down and convict him …
On this thought, Lu Hongyu and Lu Lin shuddered with fear. They thought of one person for such a sinister plan.
Lu Lin and Lu Hongyu looked at each other and said in a deep voice, "Is it his doing?"
Lu Hongyu thought about it and said, "It is possible. Look at what happened to Lu Feixue at the Li Family. It seems to be a conspiracy but it is an overt one.
We can see it and Great Patriarch can see through it. But nobody can solve it.
The way he set it up is similar to what he used to do. "
"Killing three birds with one stone."
Lu Lin exclaimed with admiration and fear, "People think that Lu Suan is talented. Actually, what is most terrifying about him is his schemes and means.
I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse for the family to have such a person … "
"Yes, he is only 21!"
Lu Hongyu was surprised as well. She exclaimed, "He set up a scheme so that his father could ascend to the position. He could gather most disciples of the Lu Family under his banner. He could make many patriarchs of the External Clan submit to him. Even Patriarch Feng can't stop praising him.
If it were not for the fact that he is not talented enough to reach the Human Sovereign Realm, he would have been the future Family Patriarch by now. "
"Alas, that's enough!"
Lu Lin was getting impatient. He stood up and said, "I will go and see Lu Li. I will tell him the decision of the family so that he can be prepared."
"I will go as well!"
Lu Hongyu stood up and they walked out together.
It was bright outside but there were not many people on the Mystic Armor Mountain. Many people didn't dare to leave their houses. After all, such a big thing had happened.
They arrived at the castle where the prison was. They walked down the stairs and asked to see Lu Li.
The deacon in charge of the place didn't dare to make the decision so he asked the Human Sovereign Realm patriarch in charge.
The Human Sovereign Realm patriarch didn't say anything and let the two go. They were of high status and with the patriarch here, they wouldn't cause any trouble.
They arrived at Lu Li's cell. Through the iron gate, they saw Lu Li sitting on the edge of the bed and Lu Feixue sleeping on his shoulder.
"Shh ~"
Lu Li made a shushing gesture when he saw them coming in. He didn't look worried. Instead, he was calm.
"Alas …"
They sighed when they saw the tear stains on Lu Feixue's face. She was frowning and her face was pale.
Lu Hongyu said in a low voice, "Lu Li, do you know the decision of the Hall of Patriarchs?"
Lu Li nodded and said softly, "I have been notified last night."
They were surprised to see Lu Li being so calm. Lu Lin asked, "Lu Li, you don't know what kind of place the Omen Island is?"
"I know something."
