Precisely because Jiang Shoutian was still not that old, he would remain clan chief for a very, very long time.
When choosing the young clan chief, he wanted his son Jiang Rui, who harbored no great ambitions, to take the position.
After all, he would not need to guard against him too much.
His other sons, however, all had deep and calculating minds.
One had to know that in ancient times, anyone who spent decades as crown prince would probably go mad and usurp the throne.
If any of his other sons became young clan chief, they would certainly eye the clan chief's seat like a tiger watching its prey.
That would inevitably bring a great deal of trouble.
This was why Jiang Shoutian insisted that Jiang Rui become young clan chief.
Because this son had little ambition and was easy to control.
Of course, the one drawback was that without ambition came a lack of ability.
The future position of clan chief of the Patrolling Heaven Clan certainly could not be handed to this son.
Otherwise, the entire race would be finished.
Jiang Shoutian was not so foolish as to fail to understand even this much.
But at this stage, Jiang Rui was undoubtedly the best candidate for the position of young clan chief.
After leaving the main hall,
Xu Zimo stepped outside, where the Black Mountain Old Demon was already waiting for him.
The two of them had gone to the residence beforehand. After scouting out the location, they had come to bring Xu Zimo over.
This also ensured that Xu Zimo would not know where he lived and thereby reveal a flaw.
"Young Clan Chief, what do we do next?" the Black Mountain Old Demon asked in a low voice.
Xu Zimo pondered for a moment.
