Upheaval in the Mu Family, a new family head

Mu Xinhai was furious and roared:

"But no matter what, it was Qingling who saved the Mu Family. What right do you have to criticize her?"

"If it weren't for her, the entire Mu Family would have ceased to exist long ago. You would probably all have been hunted down to death by Lin Yun'er, and you wouldn't have the chance to act so arrogantly with us here."

"Furthermore, I absolutely cannot agree to you Mu Xin, becoming the Family Head. If Mu Hua is incompetent and tyrannical, then I won't say anything more."

"But you, Mu Xin, have misappropriated nearly 80% of the Lineage's resources without authorization. These were all painstakingly accumulated by the old man's generation. A person who can commit such despicable acts is not worthy to be the head of my Mu Family."

Mu Xinhai spoke sharply, launching into a tirade against Mu Xin.

His words immediately plunged the entire hall into a deathly silence.

Mu Xin's eyes were filled with coldness and murderous intent; at this moment, he wished he could kill Mu Xinhai on the spot.

But he knew he couldn't do that.

The Mu Family is not yet completely under his control; many people are subservient to his power. Killing Mu Xinhai directly would only cause the discontent in everyone's hearts to erupt completely.

He desired that the Mu Family be firmly under his control.

If the Mu Family were to disintegrate, it would not benefit him at all.

Mu Xin took a deep breath and said coldly, "I heard that Ru Mei has been ill recently, and many doctors have been consulted but to no avail. You should take good care of Ru Mei first, and then come and interfere in the Lineage's internal affairs."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xinhai's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Mu Xin.

Could it be... that he did this?

Why!

He found it hard to accept that Mu Xin had gone to such lengths for the position of Family Head.

Yang Ru married him, which made her a member of the Mu Family, yet Mu Xin committed acts of cruelty against his own clan.

Yang Ru suddenly fell ill some time ago. At first, Mu Xinhai thought it was a problem with her cultivation, but after consulting many doctors, no one could find anything wrong.

Yang Ru's condition Yuelai worse and worse. If it continues to deteriorate like this, she may pass away in a month or two at most.

Mu Xin said calmly, "But don't worry, I happen to know a Fourth-grade Alchemist who seems to know something about Ru's illness. I'll send you some Pill to try and see if they're effective."

His words were practically a blatant warning.

Mu Xinhai clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, glaring fiercely at Mu Xin, but this time he didn't say anything more.

Yang Ru's life was in Mu Xin's hands; he would never joke about his woman's life.

After Mu Xinhai stopped speaking, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone lowered their heads and said no more.

Now, no one in the entire Mu Family can stop Mu Xin anymore.

Seeing this, Mu Hua was completely deflated.

We lost!

"Mu Xin, stop talking. I'm not qualified to Family Head, so I'm stepping down."

Having reached this point, Mu Hua ceased his resistance. Continuing to fight Mu Xin was pointless and would only leave both sides with no way out.

Mu Hua wasn't stupid.

If this continues, it will truly become a life-or-death struggle.

Even if things end now, the only consequence will be that he will be suppressed within the Mu Family in the future, because Mu Xin, for whatever reason, would never kill him.

Mu Xin's lips curled slightly upward, and he said calmly, "Your ability to recognize your shortcomings is also a form of responsibility."

After saying that, he continued speaking with an air of righteous indignation.

"The Mu Family cannot be without a leader for even a day. From now on, I will temporarily assume the position of Family Head. If a more suitable Family Head becomes the head of the Mu Family, I will let that person take over."

"Does anyone have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent. At this point, no one else dared to voice their opinions.

Anyone who dares to speak now will Certain be purged once Mu Xin secures his position as Family Head.

Mu Hua sighed deeply, then stood up and left the hall.

Mu Xinhai also suddenly stood up, angrily flung his sleeves and left.

Mu Li suddenly shouted and bowed to Mu Xin, saying:

"Greetings, Family Head!"

Mu Geng also shouted, "Greetings, Family Head!"

Upon seeing this, some people in the hall immediately shouted along, while others exchanged glances and then hesitantly followed suit.

Mu Xin slowly walked forward and sat in the seat that originally belonged to the Family Head, a satisfied smile on his face.

He looked around and saw the dissatisfaction in many people's eyes.

However, Mu Xin didn't care. As long as he was the Family Head, taking control of the Mu Family was only a matter of time.

His strength was undeniable; no one could shake his position. What he did next was simply to eliminate his rivals.

Mu Xin said calmly, "From today onwards, Mu Geng will be the Great Elder of my Mu Family, and Mu Li will be the Second Elder. Although the former Family Head Mu Hua did not lead the Lineage well, he ultimately did many things for the Lineage."

"From now on, Mu Hua will be the chief Steward of my Mu Family's Inner Court. He should serve the Lineage well and make amends for his past mistakes."

His words were righteous and awe-inspiring, completely shifting all the blame onto Mu Hua, while portraying himself as a wise and insightful Family Head.

"Furthermore, Mu Xinhai's Elder status is revoked, and he is demoted to Outer Court Deacon."

Although there are many unknowns regarding Mu Xinhai, Mu Qingling hasn't returned to the Mu Family for so long, so the threat she poses shouldn't be too great.

Upon hearing this, many members of the Mu Family frowned. They all knew that Mu Xin was going to suppress Mu Hua and Mu Xinhai, but they didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Mu Li suddenly spoke up, "The Family Head is wise."

With Mu Li taking the lead, the other members of the Mu Family followed suit and spoke up.

"The Family Head is wise."

Mu Xin quickly arranged many things for the Mu Family.

After everyone had left, Mu Xin sat alone in the hall, a smug smile on his face.

"Mu Hua, you probably didn't expect this, did you?"

"You should be grateful that I've returned to the Mu Family, yet you still dare to suppress me. If you hadn't done that, I wouldn't have gone to such extremes."

Mu Xin's face was full of smugness; before doing so, he had hesitated for a moment.

But after finally taking this position, Mu Xin only felt enjoyment. Although he used to be the Great Elder, second only to the clan leader, he was still someone who was above him.

Now that he is the head of the Mu Family, he couldn't have felt more comfortable.

Suddenly.

The void trembled violently, Void Rift, from which a figure dressed in Black Robe slowly emerged.

"Mu family Patriarch, you seem to be enjoying yourself quite a bit."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Mu Xin's smile vanished instantly. He immediately sat up from his chair and knelt respectfully before the man in Black Robe.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."
