Night of the Broken Gliph-Chapter 161
Chapter 161
Besides being a clan of cultivators, the Chor Clan was also a military clan. Their ancestor was a powerful glipher and an important general under the Lam dynastys first emperor. Growing up with clan rules as strict as military ones, Chor Clan members had always matured as elite warriors.
A military clan had great military influence but also various responsibilities, which the Chor Clan fulfilled. Despite being one of the Lam dynastys strongest weapons, the Lam dynasty feared their potential, which was why military clans took turns guarding the Souths Five; the Lam dynasty wanted to decentralize their military power to discourage rebellions.
Before Chor Shing Chit left, his faction hadnt been guarding the Souths Five since his direct line of descendants was viewed with huge importance and had to stay in the clan. However, internal clan competition was unavoidable. Even the direct line of descendants could be replaced.
Chor Shing Chit hadnt seen any familiar faces yet because most of his faction followed his father, Chor Chun Ping to the Southern Bulwark, while the remaining members were sent to various cities in the South for other duties. This was how life in a clan worked.
This didnt anger Chor Shing Chit, as when his faction led the Chor Clan, this was what they did to the other factions as well.
That was the harsh truth behind a clans glory.
Familiar with the mansion layout, Chor Shing Chit soon arrived at the main clan meeting room, and Chui Yim was utterly disappointed.
What the heck.
Of all the clans he had been to, the Chor Clan was the worst.
This isnt a clan hall! Its an army base!
The main hall was simple and void of any decoration. There was a sand table in the middle of the hall, and Chui Yim could roughly tell that it bore the layout of the South.
The bulwarks, the Souths Five and even more
A few clan members surrounded the sand table, performing various simulations.
Chor Shing Chit walked over immediately. The guards of the main hall saw him and approached emotionlessly. Ruthlessness could be seen in their eyes as they jointly unleashed a restraining technique.
The style of Chor Clan was fast and furious; their members didnt beat around the bush, and Chor Shing Chit was crystal clear of that.
The guards attack seemed ordinary, but it was a gliphility passed down countless generations of the Chor Clan, named the Military Strike. It was a simple and clean gliphility without any complex moves yet possessed the ability to take down an enemy swiftly. This Military Strike was the base technique for many other notable gliphilities that the Chor Clan had developed.
Chor Shing Chit knew the strength of this attack, but he didnt dodge it. He had been very bothered since he saw his father at the Southern Bulwark, yet he had been restraining himself until he reached the Chor Clan. He could no longer control himself anymore.
He faced the guards fearlessly with his hands behind him. Chor Shing Chit planned to receive their attacks with his chest! It confused the guards, who didnt stop nonetheless.
Being from Chor Chong Hois faction, they were allowed to attack if Chor Shing Chit broke in. Both guards were over fifty years old and veteran two-chambered fighters. The Chor Clans two-chambered gliphers were as strong as ordinary three-chambered gliphers. They were furious at Chor Shing Chit for belittling them.
With tacit understanding, both of them moved their hands into the shape of dragon claws. They didnt intend to hurt him though, since Chor Shing Chit was still a member of the Chor Clan.
Whoosh!
Their attacks landed on Chor Shing Chits shoulder, where the gliphers aimed. But they soon felt a strong force repelling their palm; before they could finish off with their grappling skill, they were sent flying away like sandbags.
A ferocious energliph enveloped the entire main hall.
At that moment, everyone around the sand table looked up in disbelief. Only one of them was staring at Chor Shing Chit coldly. It was none other than Chor Chong Hoi. Despite half expecting it, he was still shocked to confirm that Chor Shing Chit was already a three-chambered glipher!
Hes only in his thirties! I was in my seventies when I reached the three-chambered state! He can already be considered a thousand-year genius!
Chor Chong Hoi regained his composure quickly since his son Chor Sing was also a three-chambered glipher. Chor Sing was in his forties, and he was still the only one in his generation to have reached that stage.
The thought of this made Chor Chong Hoi even more confident in his son. Chor Shing Chit, how dare you break into the main hall and injure our clan members. Youll be punished according to the clan rules.
Chor Shing Chit walked towards the sand table together with Chui Yim. He knew that Chor Chong Hois faction ruled the clan right now, but so what?
How dare I? He stared at Chor Chong Hoi coldly. That should be my words for you all, isnt it?
I, Chor Shing Chit, am the next clan leader appointed by the current Clan Leader, so which part of the mansion have I never been in? Ive worked at the sand table so often that joking about me breaking in isnt funny. Its my home, why would I need to break in?
Chor Shing Chit stunned all Chor Chong Hois faction members that were present.
After some time, Chor Chong Hoi laughed as he shook his head like he was speaking to a child. Future clan leader? This isnt you anymore.
Who are you to decide? Chor Shing Chit snapped. I want to see the Clan Leader.
The Clan Leader isnt feeling well, Chor Chong Hoi answered unhappily. He was annoyed by Chor Shing Chits impudence.
But Chor Shing Chit glared at him coldly. Or should I say, I want to meet my grandfather! My blood-related grandfather! Who are you to stop me?
