As soon as Liu Guozhong spoke, it was clear that he intended to severely punish Liu Guoxiao.

There was no other choice.

Even if Liu Guoxiao was his own brother.

Liu Guozhong couldn't show any favoritism.

Not to mention, he was already very angry with Liu Guoxiao.

The key was that all the high-ranking members of the Liu Family were watching.

If he let Liu Guoxiao off easily, it would certainly displease the senior members.

You know, they all wanted to skin Liu Guoxiao alive right now.

If it weren't for Liu Guozhong's restraint, Liu Guoxiao wouldn't be alive to this day.

So, Liu Guozhong had to give the senior members a satisfactory explanation at this moment.

Otherwise, if he caused public outrage,

his position as Family Head wouldn't be very secure!

Liu Guoxiao's face changed immediately after hearing his brother's words.

Just then, an elder sitting beside Liu Guozhong spoke up, "Liu Guoxiao has caused the death of Elder Sun, resulting in a massive loss for our Liu Family. According to the clan rules, he should be executed immediately!"

"Precisely, we were almost securing the Mu Family's assets, but because of Liu Guoxiao, everything was ruined, and cost us Elder Sun. Such a person, how can he still have the face to live in this world? He should die to atone for his sins!"

Another elder with a head full of white hair spoke.

"Liu Guoxiao is the eternal sinner of our clan. I urge the Family Head to enforce the law fairly and not let familial ties destroy the clan rules!"

A senior member of the Liu Family also stood up and said.

With the three speaking,

the rest of the senior members also started to voice their opinions.

And their opinion was very unified.

That is... Liu Guoxiao must die!

Only by dying to atone will they quell the anger in their hearts!

Listening to the words of the senior members, Liu Guoxiao's face turned pale with fear, and he hurriedly said:

"Everyone, aren't you being too heartless? Although I, Liu Guoxiao, haven't made huge contributions to the Liu Family, there are at least some small merits, right?"

"Alright, even if there are no merits, there should at least be hard labor, right? Just because of this one failure, you want to execute me, are we not a family?"

However, Liu Guoxiao's words not only failed to quell the anger but made everyone angrier.

"Liu Guoxiao, stop being shameless. Who is family with you? From the moment you caused Elder Sun's death, you ceased to be part of the Liu Family!"

"Exactly, you still have the face to call yourself a Liu Family member? Our Liu Family is almost destroyed because of you, you disgrace!"

"We request the Family Head to execute Liu Guoxiao immediately!"

The crowd demanded angrily.

"I..."

Liu Guoxiao was about to retort.

At this moment, Liu Guozhong, who had remained silent, glared at Liu Guoxiao and said coldly, "Shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guoxiao immediately closed his mouth.

Because he knew, only his elder brother could save him now.

So naturally, he had to listen obediently.

Liu Guozhong took a deep breath, then looked at the senior members, and said seriously, "Everyone, please quiet down!"

Hearing this, the senior members immediately closed their mouths.

Seeing this, Liu Guozhong continued:

"I can understand everyone's feelings. As Family Head, I am also furious."

"However, please calm down and think, is Liu Guoxiao really the one who killed Elder Sun? Clearly not! The real culprit is Chen Feng!"

"While Liu Guoxiao does have some responsibility, it doesn't warrant death. I hope that at this time, we can unite and face the external enemy instead of directing our anger at our own people!"

"Everyone, do you think my words make sense?"

Liu Guozhong was indeed the head of the Liu Family; his words calmed the crowd significantly.

Moreover, Liu Guozhong's words made sense!

After some thought, everyone nodded in agreement.

"I agree with the Family Head!"

"Indeed, the Family Head is right!"

The people said in succession.

Seeing this, Liu Guozhong nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the Housekeeper, Liu Wen, and asked lightly, "Has there been any news from the Li Family?"

"The Li Family expressed regret and condolences over Elder Sun's demise, and they stated they will ally with us against Chen Feng!"

Liu Wen quickly responded.

"Good, that's what I wanted to hear. From Elder Sun's fall, we can see that Chen Feng's strength is unfathomable. Only by uniting the Liu and Li families can we deal with Chen Feng with more confidence!"

Liu Guozhong nodded, very satisfied.

"Also, the Zhao Family from Beijing contacted us!"

Liu Wen continued.

"The Zhao Family from Beijing? Our Liu Family and the Zhao Family have nothing in common; why are they contacting us?"

Liu Guozhong paused, puzzled.

"Because they share a common enemy with us—Chen Feng!"

Liu Wen said.

"What! Chen Feng also has conflicts with the Zhao Family in Beijing?"

Liu Guozhong, hearing this, was momentarily stunned, surprised.

"Yes, and the conflict is significant. This time, the Zhao Family contacted us to join forces with our Liu Family and the Li Family against Chen Feng!"

Liu Wen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Liu Guozhong, along with all the senior members, was overjoyed!

Knowing that the Zhao Family is one of Beijing's Eight Great Families and a genuine Ancient Martial Family.

The clan has Heavenly Rank Experts guarding it!

If they join forces with them, Chen Feng is doomed!

"Hahaha, truly a celestial blessing, blame it on Chen Feng for being a troublemaker, causing unrest everywhere. Let's see how complacent he is this time!"

Liu Guozhong looked up and laughed heartily, very delighted.

"Congratulations Family Head, for resolving a significant threat!"

The senior members quickly stepped forward to congratulate him.

"Yes!"

Liu Guozhong smiled and nodded, then turned to Liu Wen and said, "Quickly contact the Zhao and Li families, we three families will discuss the plan to eliminate Chen Feng!"

"As you command!"

Liu Wen nodded and walked quickly out of the hall.

Watching Liu Wen leave, Liu Guozhong sneered, a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly:

"Hmph, Chen Feng, how long do you think you can last this time? Prepare to die!"

...

"Ah-choo!"

Chen Feng, who was in closed-door cultivation, suddenly sneezed and opened his eyes.

"Hmm? Is someone speaking ill of me behind my back?"

Thinking of this, Chen Feng shook his head with a smile.

Then closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.

And his Ghostly Shadow was about to be mastered!
