Stirring Up the Winds and Clouds

"Understood."

Tega Chayun nodded.

Then, following Su Yuan's instructions...

The evidence of Teng Xing Chayun's collusion with alien races was sent to the relevant departments of the Empire.

Although he felt reluctant, Tega Chayun knew in his heart that Su Yuan was right.

If I want to become the patriarch of the Chiyun Family, the first thing I need to deal with is Teng Xing Chayun, the first in line to become the patriarch.

If this isn't resolved, are we just waiting for Teng Xing Chayun to voluntarily relinquish his position as clan leader?

Su Yuan glanced at Tega Chayun and was quite satisfied.

The reason for choosing to support the other party in the Chiyun Family position was because he was obedient and would not outwardly comply with Su Yuan's orders but inwardly defy them.

This is also the greatest advantage of the Tega Chayun.

"Mr. Ming, and then what?"

After sending out all the evidence, Tega Chayun looked at Su Yuan and asked cautiously.

The Chiyun Family has six heirs. Teng Xing Chayun is the first heir, and there are also the second, third, and so on up to the sixth heir.

Defeating Teng Xing Chayun does not guarantee that Tega Chayun will become the patriarch of the Chiyun Family; there are still five successors.

As for Tega Chayun, he is not even considered a successor in the line of succession.

"And then? Just wait quietly."

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face.

Next, the Chiyun Family will be shaken up. The first in line to inherit the throne Teng Xing Chayun, has colluded with alien races and has been exposed to the empire, although it has nothing to do with the Chiyun Family.

However, this will have a significant impact on the situation within the Lineage.

As the first in line to succeed the clan leader, and almost a certainty for the future clan leader, Teng Xing Chayun has too many factions behind him. Now that he has fallen, the Lineage will undergo a major reshuffle.

Especially the attitude of the current patriarch of the Chiyun Family.

"Yes, Mr. Ming."

Tega Chayun couldn't figure out what he was waiting for. Even if he dealt with Teng Xing Chayun, he still saw no hope for the position of clan leader. There were so many successors ahead of him, and even if he waited until he died, it would never be his turn.

But since Mr. Ming has said so, Tega Chayun doesn't intend to think about it any further.

Not long after.

Several Stellar Lifeform from the Enforcement Department of the Canglan Galactic Human Empire descended upon the Chiyun Family, publicly pronounced Teng Xing Chayun's crimes, and then took him away to await trial by the Imperial Court.

This incident caused a huge uproar within the Chiyun Family.

"Teng Xing Chayun has been taken away by the Imperial Enforcers?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The enforcers are all Stellar Lifeform. The aura they exude is terrifying. Even the elders of the Lineage didn't dare to stop them. Brother Teng Xing was taken away."

"Why exactly did the Imperial Enforcers take Brother Teng Xing away?"

"It is said that Brother Teng Xing colluded with alien races, and the evidence is conclusive, leaving no room for leniency."

"Colluding with alien races? Brother Teng Xing is confused. With his status, what alien races could he be colluding with?"

Countless members of the Chiyun Family were discussing it. As the first in line to succeed the clan leader, Teng Xing Chayun usually received a great deal of attention.

The shock caused by him being taken away in public by imperial law enforcement is unimaginable.

It wasn't just within the Chiyun Family that people were discussing it; other Lineage and forces closely related to the Chiyun Family also turned their attention to this matter.

When the first in line to the throne encounters trouble, it is a major event for any Lineage and requires careful handling.

Inside a grand hall, Doubei Chayun, the current patriarch of the Chiyun Family, had a gloomy expression.

He naturally knew immediately that his own son had been taken away by imperial enforcers in public. Moreover, Doubei Chayun also knew the detailed reasons why Teng Xing Chayun had been taken away.

The empire's law enforcement officers did not arrest people without reason; they had already sent relevant information to Doubei Chayun before taking action.

"Teng Xing"

Doubei Chayun sighed inwardly.

In his view, his son's collusion with foreign tribes was not an unforgivable matter, as long as the Lineage's interests were not betrayed.

What Doubei Chayun couldn't understand was how Teng Xing Chayun could be so careless as to leave irrefutable evidence outside such a secret and crucial matter, making it impossible to stop him.

Little did Doubei Chayun know that Teng Xing Chayun had already been extremely careful, showing no mercy to anyone who could be silenced, but unfortunately, he had encountered Su Yuan.

"Who did it?"

Who reported it?

Doubei Chayun composed himself. Teng Xing Chayun was the clan leader he had painstakingly cultivated.

In the Chiyun Family, although the patriarch holds absolute power, he still cannot make decisions on the selection of the successor. This is a rule left by the Chiyun Family and many other Lineage.

This rule is to ensure the vitality of the Lineage and prevent a single Lineage from monopolizing power and supporting an incompetent son to become the next family head.

In the Chiyun Family, the most important factor in becoming the clan leader is one's own ability; even the clan leader's own son doesn't have much of an advantage in this regard.

Doubei Chayun paid an unknown price, and Teng Xing Chayun was indeed very talented, which is why he became the first in line to succeed as clan leader.

So it's gone now?

Doubei Chayun closed his eyes.

Of the five heirs of the Chiyun Family, only Teng Xing Chayun is his son; the other five heirs all come from other main branches of the Lineage.

"It's them?"

Doubei Chayun opened his eyes, and a light screen appeared in front of him, displaying the names of the next five in line to succeed him.

Clearly, the irrefutable evidence sent to the Imperial Law Enforcement Department was aimed at completely bringing down Teng Xing Chayun, the first in line to inherit the Lineage.

And who would do that?

Enemies of the Chiyun Family?

No, that's not the case.

If the enemies of the Chiyun Family were to obtain such irrefutable evidence, the most advantageous course of action for them would be to wait until Teng Xing Chayun had inherited the position of clan leader before using it to threaten the family.

Reporting it directly to the Empire now would bring no benefit other than bringing down Teng Xing Chayun. It wouldn't be a serious blow to the Chiyun Family either, as they still have five heirs waiting in the wings.

Therefore.

Doubei Chayun easily deduced that the person who did this was someone within the Lineage, or even one of the five heirs in line.

Those who seek high profits are suspicious.

The biggest beneficiaries of Teng Xing Chayun's downfall were these five heirs, as they now had the hope of becoming clan leaders.

"The elders have gone too far."

Doubei Chayun's gaze was cold, and he easily focused his attention on the elders of the Lineage.

Behind the five successors, there were naturally some elders.

These elders come from different main branches of the Lineage. If one of their descendants is able to succeed as the clan leader, it would be of great benefit to that main branch.

"You think you'll succeed?"

Doubei Chayun gave a mocking smile. As the clan leader, he could not interfere too much with the successor's affairs, but he had the ability to start over.

This means disqualifying all heirs from inheriting and selecting six new heirs in order of priority.

Virtual World Network, personal space.

Su Yuan sat there calmly, while Tega Chayun sat beside him, his face full of amazement.

"Mr. Ming, I have actually become the clan chief's successor, and the second in line to succeed him!" Tega Chayun felt like he was dreaming.

Not long after Teng Xing Chayun was taken away, the Lineage's senior members held an emergency meeting. At the meeting, the Doubei Chayun was furious, while the elders were somewhat guilty.

Especially the elders behind the five heirs, although they did not report Teng Xing Chayun, not because they were unwilling, but because they had no evidence.

But they were the biggest beneficiaries of this incident, and even these veterans suspected that the other side was behind it.

It was precisely because of this guilty conscience that the elders' opposition was not too fierce when faced with the furious Doubei Chayun and the disqualification of all candidates, and the re-selection of a new successor.

The final selection resulted in Tega Chayun being chosen as the second in line to succeed the emperor, while the other five in line to succeed him came from other main branches.

The reason why Tega Chayun was able to be promoted is because he had performed well within the Lineage over the past period, achieved excellent results in the assessment, and made decisions that were in line with the Lineage's interests when dealing with alien Stellar Lifeform.

A number of actions and factors made Tega Chayun stand out among the clan chief's many sons.

In addition to the matter of Teng Xing Chayun, the clan leader's suspicious gaze was no longer limited to the original five heirs.

His other sons were also included in the suspicion.

That's why Tega Chayun was chosen as one of the six candidates for clan chief.

In Doubei Chayun's opinion, Tega Chayun should be the least related to this matter.

After all, he was the youngest, and even if Teng Xing Chayun fell from power, the position of clan leader was still not within Tega Chayun's reach, as there were simply too many people ahead of him in the hierarchy.

That's why I ultimately chose Tega Chayun.

"Thank you, Mr. Ming."

Tega Chayun stood up and bowed deeply to Su Yuan.

The more they pondered, the more terrifying Su Yuan's schemes became. It wasn't just his understanding of the situation's development that made him certain that the candidates for clan leader would be reshuffled after Teng Xing Chayun was taken away.

They even took into account the thoughts and concerns of the clan Doubei Chayun, and ultimately chose Tega Chayun, whom they thought had no connection with, as their successor.

Little did they know, the cause of all this was Tega Chayun.

"Just remember your promise."

Su Yuan spoke calmly.

"Yes."

Tega Chayun nodded solemnly, pondered for a moment, and then cautiously asked again, "Mr. Ming, what should I do next?"

At this moment Tega Chayun was filled with ambition. As the second in line to succeed him, it was no exaggeration to say that the position of clan leader was within reach.

"You don't need to do anything," Su Yuan glanced at Tega Chayun, "Just wait quietly."

"Just wait quietly?" Tega Chayun was delighted. He preferred to wait quietly; he was always worried about messing things up if asked to do something.

"Next"

Deep within his sea of consciousness, Su Yuan reviewed the numerous responses from the Grey Mirror, ensuring that everything was under control, before letting Tega Chayun leave first.

The World of Divine Bodies.

Su Yuan sat cross-legged, carefully sensing his fully energized physical body, and the intertwining and collision of the seven cosmic forces of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

"Come in."

Su Yuan opened his eyes and spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of Luoyang City cautiously walked in.

"My lord," the Lord of Luoyang City said, "the Bai Family is waiting outside, saying they wish to pay you a visit."

Given the Bai Family's status, the Lord of Luoyang City wouldn't even give them a second glance when they came to visit, only considering the relationship between the Bai Family and Su Yuan.

Although the Empire Citizen and Players didn't place too much importance on their relationship with the World of Divine Bodies, it was still a connection, and the Lord of Luoyang City didn't dare to make decisions on his own.

"People from the Bai Family?"

Su Yuan's tone was calm, indicating that he already knew.

"Let them in."

Su Yuan spoke.

"Yes."

The Lord of Luoyang City immediately withdrew.

A moment later.

The Bai Lineage patriarch and his group were then led inside.

"Shilin, our Bai Family has wronged you." The Bai Lineage patriarch knelt on the ground with a thud, saying with deep remorse.

As he spoke, he glanced at Su Yuan, who was sitting in the main seat, and at the respectful Lord of Luoyang City.

A sense of shock still welled up inside me.

He originally thought that Su Yuan was only equal in status to the Lord of Luoyang City.

But now, is this equality? The Lord of Luoyang City is practically kneeling on the ground.

Under these circumstances, the Bai Lineage patriarch immediately adjusted his plan to deal with Su Yuan.

Behind the Bai Lineage patriarch, Bai Tianshu and more than ten Bai Family youths stood there, their faces pale.

These dozen or so young members of the Bai Family are the main branch members of the Bai Family who had conflicts with Bai Shilin in the past, and they have all gathered here now.

In addition, several elders of the Bai Family were also present, such as Bai Tianshu Bai Cangku's grandfather.

"Why aren't you kneeling down?"

The Bai Lineage patriarch rebuked in a low voice.

Immediately, everyone knelt down, bowing their heads and not daring to look at Su Yuan.

"Shilin, you can do whatever you want with these people, but I hope you won't implicate the Bai Family," the Bai Lineage patriarch pleaded.

Su Yuan looked calmly at Bai Tianshu and the others.

Immediately, with a slight thought, the Power of Five Elements Yin and Yang and the Five Elements swept over.

In an instant, Bai Tianshu and the others' minds and wills were completely shattered by this immense power, and they collapsed to the ground, losing all vitality.

Although Su Yuan is not Bai Shilin, as an Empire Citizen, he also received Bai Tianshu's memories upon his arrival, so he naturally doesn't mind helping the other party take revenge.

"This?"

The Bai Lineage patriarch trembled inwardly.

As a third-tier powerhouse, he naturally sensed the deaths of those behind him.

It should be noted that Elder Bai Cangku was also a third-tier expert, yet he died before Su Yuan as easily as an ant, without even putting up the slightest resistance?

"The next patriarch of the Bai Family is Bai Housu."

Su Yuan looked at the Bai Lineage patriarch and spoke.

Bai Housu was the only boy who had helped Su Yuan at the Bai Family. Although he hadn't done anything of great help, it was still a kind gesture.

"Bai Housu?"

The Bai Lineage patriarch immediately recalled a great deal of information about Bai Housu.

Average aptitude, born into a branch of the Lineage.

For members of such Lineage, it would be difficult to even make it into the middle ranks, let alone become the patriarch.

"Alright, I will relinquish my position as clan chief upon my return, and Hou Su will assume the role of the new clan chief."

The Bai Lineage patriarch immediately spoke.

"Step down."

Su Yuan closed his eyes and ignored him.

"Yes, yes, yes."

The Bai Lineage patriarch, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, hastily retreated.
