Peerless War God

Zuo Zhao heaved a sigh of relief. He clenched his fists tightly. He had already made up his mind. If anything unexpected happened, he would immediately go and protect Fu Xue.    

However, it was not yet time for him to make a move.    

“Old Ancestor is wise. We are willing to respect Miss Xue as the successor,” Fu Xianer stood up and spoke in a clear voice within the hall.    

As she spoke, she gave Fu Xue a look. When the two sisters saw this, they knew what was going on.    

Fu Xue had the Azure Dragon Bracelet, and her strength had already reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcender Realm. Thus, it was only natural for her to become the successor of the family.    

However, the only thing she was worried about was Fu Qing. This person was also a strong contender for the position of successor. Before Fu Xue obtained the Azure Dragon Bracelet, he had a lot of supporters, and his support was very high.    

Furthermore, Fu Qing’s father was the Grand Elder, Fu Yanshan, who was extremely influential. There were a lot of people who supported him in the open and in the dark.    

Although Fu Zhenghong had used a thunderous method to eliminate some of the scourges within the family and remove the bad influence, it was not completely wiped out.    

Especially Fu Yanshan, he had not moved at all.    

In order to prevent the dog from jumping into a wall, Fu Zhenghong had left a trick for him, giving him a chance.    

“Old Ancestor is wise.”    

“Old Ancestor is wise.”    

“Hold on, I don’t agree.”    

At this moment, an extremely discordant voice sounded. Fu Xianer’s gaze turned cold as she looked over.    

He had come.    

Fu Yanshan stood up. His gaze was like lightning, and he walked with great strides. His fierce gaze was glaring at Fu Zhenghong. He was about to make a move.    

Earlier, Fu Zhenghong had killed many of his lackeys. For the sake of the overall situation, he had temporarily endured it.    

But now, Fu Zhenghong wanted to dig out the roots and sever his hopes. If Fu Qing’s future path was severed, then he absolutely couldn’t endure it, and he had to fight for it.    

Otherwise, if he missed this opportunity, then there wouldn’t be a next time.    

For a time, the gazes of all the cultivators in the hall shot towards Fu Yanshan in unison, and their expressions were extremely complicated.    

“Fu Yanshan? What do you have to say?” Fu Zhenghong said coldly, and she wasn’t surprised in the slightest.    

She knew that after she designated the successor of the Fu Clan, Fu Yanshan would surely jump out and oppose her.    

It was precisely because of this that she spoke those words to Fu Xue earlier.    

Fu Yanshan’s face was dark as he looked at Fu Zhenghong and said, “Ancestor, according to the clan rules, the successor of the clan will accept challenges from the younger clansmen before the successor is confirmed, right?”    

Fu Yanshan smiled. Earlier, Fu Zhenghong used the clan rules to suppress the opposition, and now it was Fu Yanshan’s turn to use the clan rules to deal with the opposition.    

This was done openly, and Fu Zhenghong was unable to stop him, so she wouldn’t stop him either.    

“Yes.” Fu Zhenghong said.    

When Fu Xue saw this, her brows knit together, and her face was icy cold like a snowy mountain.    

When she heard this, Fu Qing who stood by Fu Yanshan’s side took the opportunity to stand up and bow his head before he said, “Ancestor, I want to challenge Fu Xue’s position as the successor of the clan. If I lose, then I’ll naturally be convinced, and if I win, then this position of successor will belong to me!”    

Fu Qing spoke righteously and righteously, and it shook the hearts of everyone present.    

Especially the clansmen that supported Fu Yanshan, they were even more excited and encouraged Fu Qing.    

“What a good attitude, Fu Qing.”    

“Fu Qing, you truly have courage. A tiger father will never have a dog son. You have guts, and you dare to stand out and challenge him.”    

“The position of successor is something that all the younger members of my clan are qualified to have, and Fu Qing is similarly qualified to challenge him.”    

“Right, that’s right.”    

The clansmen of Fu Yanshan shouted and vented the displeasure in their hearts.    

Fu Zhenghong saw all of this, and she knew that this sort of matter couldn’t be suppressed. The numerous sinners that she’d just killed weren’t all from Fu Yanshan’s side, and there were some that had committed atrocious crimes and were willing to succumb to their own vices, so they deserved this outcome.    

For so many years, her bloodline had taken too many benefits from the clans, and it was time for her to repay them.    

When she thought up to here, she looked towards Fu Xue. “Xue Er, are you confident?”    

Perhaps because she was old, or perhaps because she was nearing the end of her lifespan, Fu Zhenghong started to worry about her gains and losses, and she wasn’t really at ease.    

Fu Xue lowered her head and cupped her fists before saying, “Don’t worry, Ancestor. I’m confident.”    

“That’s good. You can go.”    

“Yes.”    

Fu Xue nodded, and then she stood up. Her figure flashed as she floated down from the stairway and descended into the hall, and she looked straight at Fu Qing’s fierce gaze.    

"Fu Qing, right? Alright, I accept your challenge. As the true successor of the family, I will not be afraid of any challenge."    

Fu Xue's declaration was filled with confidence.    

As soon as these words came out, all the cultivators in the hall cheered.    

"Good, as expected of Xue'er, what courage. You must defeat him." Fu Xue clenched her fist and said.    

"Fu Xue accepted Fu Qing's challenge. She is very bold. It seems that she is quite confident."    

"That's right, that's right. This is like a true successor of the family. Fu Xue has the Green Dragon Ring. With her strength, it won't be difficult for her to defeat Fu Qing."    

"Let's wait and see. Since Fu Qing has the guts to make a condition, he must have something to rely on. I'm afraid that he has some strength. Miss Xue'er, you have to be careful."    

The cultivators of the Fu Clan discussed endlessly.    

At the top of the mountain, when Zuo Zhao saw this, his fists were clenched so hard that they made a cracking sound. He scolded, "What a good Fu Qing, he is quite bold. If anything happens to Xue'er, you will be dead."    

"Calm down, this is a family matter. We won't get involved." Chen Xiao said indifferently.    

"Yes, Captain." Zuo Zhao's face fell as he replied.    

In the hall, the atmosphere was somewhat tense. Seeing that Fu Xue had come on stage, the cultivators of the Fu Clan silently retreated to the side. There were also guards who went up to clean up the corpses of the clansmen who were killed by Fu Zhenghong, clearing out a large area.    

Fu Xue and Fu Qing stood facing each other, and their eyes emitted shocking sparks.    

Fu Yanshan’s expression was gloomy and extremely unsightly. He patted Fu Qing on the shoulder and said in a low voice, “Qing’er, I’ve painstakingly cultivated you all these years for the sake of seizing the position of the successor today. You must not disappoint your father.”    

When Fu Qing heard this, he was rather proud. “Father, you can rest assured. I’ll do my best and leave behind an unforgettable memory for her.”    

“Very good. If it’s possible, then kill her and eliminate all future troubles.”    

Fu Yanshan said these words in secret via voice transmission. As the old saying went, a man wasn’t a man if he wasn’t poisonous.    

Since he’d walked to this step, there was no turning back. He didn’t want to follow in the footsteps of Fu Zhenghong and be killed.    

According to the clan rules, challenging the successor was a fair battle, at the very least.    

Fu Yanshan had planned this battle for a long time, and he naturally believed in Fu Qing.    

Fu Qing’s pupils constricted when he heard this, and he nodded. He didn’t refute anything. He knew that the person who dared to obstruct his path couldn’t be left alive, and it was the same even for Fu Xue.    

For the sake of becoming the successor and the next Patriarch, he had to disregard everything and use all means to win.
