Chapter 1129 - War Begins
Liu Xiaotian shocked everyone when he issued such an outrageous demand, forcing Liu Xiucheng to give up the patriarch’s position and commit suicide on the spot. It was a vicious ultimatum.
"Liu Xiucheng, I knew you'd say that," Liu Xiaotian replied with a mysterious smile, as though he had anticipated the response. "You're right—I'm not qualified to be the Liu Clan's patriarch. But there's someone else, someone whose seniority equals yours. He's the best candidate to lead the clan."
"Who?" Liu Xiucheng frowned. He couldn't think of anyone more suitable than himself for the patriarch's role.
"Please welcome the grand elder!" Liu Xiaotian said with a sweeping gesture.
Everyone froze in confusion. Hadn't the grand elder died long ago?
Very few people realized the Golden Cauldron Pavilion had taken control of him. Liu Xiucheng had informed everyone that the grand elder had passed away on the way.
The black-robed figure behind Liu Xiaotian stepped forward. Liu Xiucheng squinted—something about the aura felt familiar.
Before the crowd, the figure pulled back his hood, revealing his face.
"The grand elder!" gasped the crowd in disbelief.
The black-robed figure was none other than Liu Shen, the Liu Clan's grand elder. He still lived.
Liu Xiucheng staggered in disbelief, nearly collapsing before Liu Dashan rushed forward to steady him.
"Patriarch, long time no see. I hope you've been well," Liu Shen said calmly. His face appeared younger and healthier than before, and his cultivation had strengthened.
