Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 1900 - 1901: Forcing the Zhu Family! Seven Updates
When Ye Qiu, Zhu Cang, and Bai Lingtian appeared at the Zhu family gate, the doorman of the Zhu family was dumbfounded; he never expected the three of them to appear here.
"Zhu... Master Cang..." The doorman, a clever man, quickly realized that a significant change was likely to occur within the Zhu family. Previously exiled Zhu Cang might regain control of the family.
"Open the gate." Since the doorman was so perceptive, Zhu Cang did not say much and simply ordered him to open the gate. The doorman complied immediately without hesitation.
After all, he was just a small figure. If Zhu Cang regained control of the family, he might benefit a little. If Zhu Tian remained in charge, he could claim that Zhu Cang and his companions forced their way in and that he was uninvolved.
The appearance of Zhu Cang at the Zhu family left many family members stunned. They understood the significance of his presence but dared not to speak out.
Especially since Ye Qiu stood beside Zhu Cang.
Who was Ye Qiu? By now, there was no one in the entire Zhu family who did not recognize Ye Qiu, as two of the Zhu family elders were rumored to have died because of him.
"It’s him..." Catching sight of Ye Qiu’s fleeting figure, Zhu Yunguang was dazed for a moment, even overlooking Zhu Cang. Ye Qiu’s reputation had grown too big within the Zhu family, with even Clan Leader Zhu Tian unable to deal with him.
The younger generation of the Zhu family no longer dared to underestimate Ye Qiu. Who could claim to kill a Saint and actually do it?
Ye Qiu’s formidable reputation in the Zhu family was born out of his killing spree, claiming the lives of two Saints.
Zhu Cang’s return to the Zhu family reminded him of the past when he last participated in a family ancestor worship ceremony and was repeatedly ambushed on his return to Qingfeng County. Now back at the family, Zhu Cang found everything changed.
The faces that once showed hostility toward him now bore a hint of dread and fear.
Zhu Cang also noticed the distinct looks upon the Zhu family members when they regarded him versus Ye Qiu. The fear they held for Ye Qiu far surpassed that for him. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
This greatly frustrated Zhu Cang; he was a Saint, was he not? Ye Qiu had yet to break through to sainthood.
Despite his frustration, he had his own goals upon returning to the Zhu family today. He intended to force Zhu Tian to relinquish control of the family.
When the three of them arrived at the main hall, Zhu Tian was sitting upright on a tiger chair. Seeing this, Ye Qiu mused inwardly, amused by the knowledge that Zhu Tian must have been aware of Zhu Cang’s return yet remained idle, just sitting there.
"It seems like it would be very difficult to make this fellow relinquish the Zhu family," thought Ye Qiu. He felt it might be more straightforward to have Bai Lingtian eliminate Zhu Tian.
"Zhu Cang, the date for the family ancestor worship has passed. What is your purpose in returning to the family without reason?" Upon seeing Zhu Cang, Zhu Tian directly reprimanded him.
Afterward, his gaze fell on Ye Qiu, and his expression darkened with hatred. Ye Qiu had seen such venom before, and he had slain all such enemies.
When Zhu Tian noticed Bai Lingtian standing there as well, his frown deepened, and he shouted, "Zhu Cang, you’ve grown bold, returning without permission and bringing outsiders. Are you staging a rebellion?"
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but smile slightly. Rebellion? Did Zhu Tian really think himself an emperor?
Facing Zhu Tian’s reprimand, Zhu Cang remained calm, unfazed. He calmly took a chair from the side, placed it in the center of the hall, and sat across from Zhu Tian, saying slowly, "Zhu Tian, with the state the Zhu family is in under your leadership, do you think you’re still qualified to sit in that chair?"
"Silence, Zhu Cang! You address the Clan Leader; you mustn’t call him by name." Before Zhu Tian could speak, the steward beside him shouted.
"Hmph." Zhu Cang snorted, and a gust of wind swept through the hall. The steward blinked, only to discover Zhu Cang standing before him.
"Is it your place to interject when I’m speaking to him?" With that, Zhu Cang slapped him, sending the steward flying into a row of chairs on one side of the hall, smashing them to pieces.
After striking the steward, Zhu Cang dusted off his hands and leisurely returned to his seat.
"Well done, Zhu Cang. I knew you were born with a rebellious streak. Do you intend to usurp control of the Zhu family?" Zhu Tian said coldly.
"Zhu Tian, if the Zhu family had been growing stronger under your leadership, I wouldn’t want to seize the position of Family Head. However, due to your mismanagement, several elders have died. That is your failure. Do you believe you can still lead the Zhu family to its peak?" Zhu Cang replied.
"Do you actually believe my failures caused the elders’ deaths?" Zhu Tian said somewhat deranged. "I regret not eliminating you sooner; we wouldn’t have this situation now."
"However, Zhu Cang... don’t think you can take the Zhu family from me just because someone is backing you. I won’t give it up easily."
"Those elders died because of that person beside you. By standing with the one who killed the Zhu family elders, you become the family’s enemy. You’ll never become the Clan Leader."
At this moment, the hall was surrounded by members of the Zhu family — servants, young disciples, and direct lineage stood watching the scene unfold.
Without the elders’ support, Zhu Tian appeared somewhat pitiful, yet he remained proud, unwilling to back down.
"Hear me, Zhu family members. This individual is named Ye Fentian, the murderer of the elders. Only one who kills the murderer can become Clan Leader, isn’t that right?" Zhu Tian addressed those around him.
"Revenge for the elders." One person shouted first, and others soon echoed.
Currently, Ye Qiu became the focal point of everyone’s hostility. Zhu Cang frowned as Zhu Tian suggested, "Don’t you wish to become Clan Leader? Kill him, and I’ll make you the leader."
"Kill him, kill him!"
The surrounding members of the Zhu family chimed in, loudly calling out.
Zhu Tian wore a triumphant smile, betting that Zhu Cang wouldn’t strike. As long as Zhu Cang didn’t act, he couldn’t become the Clan Leader, nor win the family’s support.
Just when Zhu Cang was unsure what to do, a streak of light suddenly descended like an arrow piercing through the hall.
It swiftly penetrated Zhu Tian’s forehead, leaving his face frozen in a smile.
Clang.
As Zhu Tian’s head hit the ground, a sudden silence enveloped the area.
An elderly voice resonated: "Zhu Tian, poor leadership, has committed suicide to atone. From now on, Zhu Cang will serve as the Clan Leader. Does anyone object?"
The crowd parted, making way for a figure approaching slowly, his cane tapping the stone tiles.
Both Ye Qiu and Zhu Cang’s eyes lit up, for it was the Supreme Elder who had appeared.
