He didn't care about his reputation. He just wanted Illya to be safe and his position as the patriarch to be secure.
Illya looked at Shang Shaoyang's bloody palm and felt moved.
She knew that everything Shang Shaoyang did was for her.
She held his hand and said softly, "Shaoyang, I understand your intention. Just do as you say. I support you."
Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance of the hall.
Four figures walked in slowly. They were Shang Shaoxian and his group.
Jiang Ning walked in the front. The aura of the immortal strong man was like a deep ocean, making people dare not look directly at him.
Jiang Nan followed closely behind. She was dressed in a white dress that was whiter than snow, with an extraordinary temperament. She looked like a fairy from the ninth heaven, attracting countless gazes.
Lu Yun and Shang Shaoxian walked at the end. Although they were restrained, the powerful strength they revealed made some knowledgeable people dare not underestimate them.
When Illya saw Shang Shaoxian, a cold arc appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Shang Shaoyang's eyes were terrifyingly gloomy, like the calm before a storm.
The members of the ancient Yin and Shang clan, as well as the powerful men from the side branches who had intermarried, all turned their eyes to Shang Shaoxian and his party, with different expressions in their eyes.
There is curiosity, doubt, contempt, and fear.
When Shang Shaoxian stepped into the hall, a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling came over him.
This is where he grew up and where he lost everything.
Returning here again, he had both expectations for the current state of his family and worries about being betrayed again. The complex emotions made him feel a little nervous.
Lu Yun seemed to sense Shang Shaoxian's uneasiness. He patted Shang Shaoxian on the shoulder and whispered, "Why are you so nervous? Think about the enemies you encountered on the cosmic battlefield. These guys are just a group of ants."
Lu Yun's words were like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the tension and uneasiness in Shang Shaoxian's heart.
Yes, he was not even afraid of those terrifying existences on the cosmic battlefield, so why would he be afraid of these so-called family members?
A strong sense of self-confidence arose from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes became firm.
Illya and Shang Shaoyang slowly walked towards Shang Shaoxian. Illya had a sarcastic smile on her face and was about to speak, but Shang Shaoxian beat her to it.
"Hey, isn't this Shang Shaoyang?"
Shang Shaoxian's tone was frivolous, but his eyes were full of disdain, "Why, do you like picking up the junk I don't want so much?"
He did not hide his disgust for Illya, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, "Illya, you really opened my eyes. For power, you can actually sell your body and soul. Do you think you can sit back and relax just by climbing up the big tree of Shang Shaoyang? You are wrong, you are just a pawn in his hand and can be abandoned at any time."
A trace of anger flashed across Illya's face, but she quickly concealed it. She chuckled, "Shaoxian, you are still as sharp-tongued as ever. It's a pity that you used your intelligence in the wrong place. What good will it do you to come back here?"
There was a hint of pity in her tone, as if she was looking at a lost lamb.
Shang Shaoyang's face was terribly gloomy. Shang Shaoxian's words were like a sharp knife, piercing his sore spot.
He thought of how he had lived humbly under Shang Shaoxian's shadow and how he had been laughed at by his tribesmen, and a raging rage burned in his heart.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh. He secretly swore that he would kill Shang Shaoxian here today!
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said with a fake smile: "Shaoxian, thank you for your 'teaching'. It made me understand the principle of the survival of the fittest. Now, I am the future patriarch of the ancient Yin Shang clan, and you are just a lost dog abandoned by the family."
He deliberately emphasized the words "future patriarch", his eyes full of provocation.
He gave a subtle wink to his men behind him, signaling them not to act rashly.
He wanted to torture Shang Shaoxian slowly and let him die in despair.
Illya took Shang Shaoyang's arm and said in a tender voice, "Shaoyang, why bother to get angry with a loser? Today is your big day, don't let him ruin your mood."
She deliberately pressed her body tightly against Shang Shaoyang to demonstrate to Shang Shaoxian.
Shang Shaoxian's eyes turned cold, but he was not angry.
He knew that Shang Shaoyang and Illya's performance was just to provoke him and make him lose his mind.
He didn't come here to argue with them.
He has more important things to do.
He raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "Really? Then I will wait and see how you become the patriarch."
Just then, several old men with white hair and beards walked out of the crowd.
They are the elders of the ancient Shang clan and possess extremely high prestige.
Seeing these elders, Shang Shaoxian felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
He once had close relationships with these elders, and he believed that they would not watch him being framed.
He walked over quickly and said excitedly: "Elders, you are finally here! You have to make the decision for me! Shang Shaoyang and Illya colluded with each other to frame me..."
The old man in the lead, known as the Glorious Old Man, raised his hand to interrupt Shang Shaoxian and said in a cold tone: "Shang Shaoxian, you have been expelled from the family and removed from the family tree. You are no longer a member of the ancient Yin Shang clan."
Shang Shaoxian was struck by lightning. He looked at the glorious old man in disbelief and asked tremblingly, "Why? What did I do wrong?"
Illya sneered and said, "You colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed your family. Your crime is unforgivable!"
Shang Shaoyang laughed out loud, as if he had heard a huge joke: "Shang Shaoxian, you have come to this day! Do you think you can still turn things around? You're dreaming!"
The tribesmen around him also sneered at Shang Shaoxian, their eyes full of contempt and disdain.
"What a waste! He was expelled from the family."
"It's what he deserves! Who made him offend Young Master Shaoyang?"
"He's completely finished now. Let's see how he will survive in the future."
Those who once surrounded him and flattered him now avoided him as if he were a plague.
Shang Shaoxian took a deep breath and tried to calm the anger in his heart.
He looked around, seeing these cold and heartless faces, and a feeling of sadness welled up in his heart.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no trace of fluctuation in his eyes.
"It is said in the ancestral teachings that the one with immortal bloodline is destined to be the patriarch."
Shang Shaoxian's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the hall.
He slowly raised his right hand, and a terrifying aura burst out from his body like a volcano about to erupt.
"I, Shang Shaoxian, am the owner of immortal bloodline!"
Golden light burst out from his body, illuminating the entire hall.
The powerful momentum forced several elders to retreat one after another, their faces horrified.
