Chapter 1562: The Second Ancestor's Conspiracy
Inside the Yuan family hall, everyone looked nervously toward the array, counting silently in their hearts.
"One hundred breaths!" Yuan Yinger shouted loudly.
Everyone looked at Yuan Zhen'an.
His expression was extremely ugly.
"One hundred breaths, and he still couldn't break the array?" Yuan Zhen'an sighed inwardly.
Afterwards, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll count this diagram as real, you release the array! However, I'll say this first: this only proves that this one diagram is real, it doesn't prove anything else!"
"If you really want to prove it, you must at least let Master Bai test dozens more! And I must be the one to choose the diagrams!"
Yuan Zhen'an said, looking at Yuan Yinger with indifference.
"You..." Yuan Yinger gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
Who told him to be the Family Head?
Helplessly, she angrily picked up the previous paper and injected a bit of immortal energy into it.
Hum!
The paper flickered, and the runes in front of her shattered like bubbles.
The array was also lifted.
At this moment, Yuan Lun spoke first, "Master Bai, this round doesn't count, let's change to another... hmm?"
Yuan Lun had only said half of it when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He looked up abruptly, seeing Master Bai appear after the array space shattered, and was completely shocked.
"Master Bai, what... happened to you?" Yuan Lun asked, surprised.
At this moment, Master Bai was covered in blood, having lost an arm and a leg.
Half of his body looked like it had been burned into a pile of charcoal, and his life force was at its lowest ebb.
At this, everyone was stunned.
Was this the previously immortal-looking Master Bai?
How could he be so miserable?
"Master Bai... what happened to you?" Yuan Zhen'an also rushed over in terror.
Master Bai raised his head with difficulty, glanced at him, his eyes full of resentment.
"Why... did you only release... the array now?" He found it difficult to even speak.
Yuan Zhen'an was stunned, not knowing how to explain.
However, Yuan Lun on the side spoke up, "Master Bai, it was my dad who deliberately delayed the time to let you break the array..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yuan Zhen'an wanted to slap his son to death.
How did he not see before that this son was such a bucket of trash?
Sure enough, Master Bai's eyes flashed with coldness upon hearing this.
"You... you..." Master Bai was about to explode with anger.
He only now realized that if it weren't for Yuan Zhen'an's clever-by-half delay, he wouldn't have had to suffer so much!
How hateful!
On the other side, Yuan Yinger was clearly shocked by this scene as well.
She looked at Master Bai, then at the diagram in her hand, and then back at Master Bai.
Then her expression changed completely.
"So, Vice Pavilion Master Luo Tian's diagrams... are this powerful?" she thought to herself.
At the same time, she looked up at Yuan Zhen'an and said, "Family Head, I wonder if my diagrams are real or fake?"
Yuan Zhen'an was already in a mess, and upon hearing this question, his face sank.
"Hmph! Real or fake aside, today, with Master Bai injured, the trial is temporarily suspended!" he said.
With one sentence, the entire hall was in chaos.
What was this?
The winner was clearly decided, yet he said the trial was suspended?
Wasn't this bullying?
At this moment, Yuan Cheng couldn't hold back anymore.
He reached out to stop Yuan Zhen'an and said, "Yuan Zhen'an, what do you mean? The trial was clearly won by Yinger, and you still dare to cheat?"
Yuan Zhen'an's mouth twitched, but he still said coldly, "I said before, Master Bai's injury only proves that one diagram is real! It doesn't prove anything else!"
Yuan Yinger laughed out of anger and said, "No matter! If the Family Head doesn't believe it, we can test them one by one. It doesn't matter if we use up all three thousand today!"
She said, pulling out another diagram and saying to Yuan Zhen'an, "Does the Family Head want to try it himself?"
Saying this, she made a move to activate the array.
"You..."
Yuan Zhen'an frowned immediately.
He looked at the severely injured Master Bai, how could he dare to accept?
But just then...
"Enough!"
The Second Ancestor suddenly shouted sternly.
Swish!
In an instant, everyone's gaze turned to him.
The Second Ancestor narrowed his eyes, scanned the crowd, and said, "I see it now. You are all dissatisfied with my branch controlling the family, right? Then I want to see who dares to touch Yuan Zhen'an's position as Family Head today!"
The Fourth Ancestor frowned and said, "Second Brother, what do you mean by this? The trial determines the family's control, isn't that something we all agreed on? How come it was fine when your descendants won in the past, but not when someone else wins today?"
The Second Ancestor turned his head abruptly, staring fixedly at the other party, and said, "Old Four, did you arrange all of this?"
The Fourth Ancestor snorted, "I just couldn't stand it anymore!"
The Second Ancestor turned to look at the Sixth Ancestor and said, "Old Six, what do you mean?"
The Sixth Ancestor smiled, "Second Brother, one must follow the rules when doing things, right?"
The Second Ancestor looked at the two of them and sneered, "Good! Good! It seems neither of you puts me, your elder brother, in your eyes anymore. Since that's the case, why should I care about brotherly affection?"
He said, taking a step forward.
Boom!
In an instant, his aura surged into the sky.
A terrifying sense of oppression swept in all directions.
"What? This is... a half-step Immortal King?" The Fourth and Sixth Ancestors felt the other's aura and were all shocked.
This Yuan family Second Ancestor had actually stepped into this realm without a sound.
"Second Brother, how many heavenly treasures have you devoured over these years to pile up to this realm!" The Fourth Ancestor looked at the Second Ancestor and asked coldly.
The Sixth Ancestor also nodded and said, "No wonder Second Brother has held onto the family's control all these years! It turns out it can bring you such huge benefits!"
Both of them could see that the Second Ancestor's realm was not achieved through pure cultivation.
But piled up with a large amount of heavenly treasures!
However, even a piled-up half-step Immortal King was still better than the two of them, who were Immortal Venerables!
The Second Ancestor sneered and said, "I originally wanted to let you two live a few more days! But I didn't expect you to seek your own deaths! Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Boom!
