The tall middle-aged man was pressed hard to his knees on the ground. He struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free at all.

Jimo Hong looked up at everyone with a look of reluctance on his face, and finally his eyes fell on the head of the Jimo family.

"Jimo Hong, do you know your guilt?" Someone asked before the head of the Jimo family could speak.

Seeing the face of the person who asked the question, Jimo Hong gave a sarcastic smile: "What's wrong with me? I just want to get what I deserve. Didn't you keep telling me that I also deserve the position of head of the family?"

?”

The old man who asked the question was immediately frightened and broke into a cold sweat. His face was pale and he did not dare to look at the expression of the head of the Jimo family. He could only point at Jimo Hong and angrily yelled: "You, a bastard, dare to slander me indiscriminately.

!”

He raised his palm, as if he wanted to help the head of the Jimo family teach him a lesson.

But before his slap with strong spiritual power fell, the housekeeper on the side took action in time to stop him.

"This man has committed a heinous crime, but the family master has his own decision on how to punish him, so I won't bother the elders to take action." The butler still had a gentle smile on his face, but his hands were merciless and he directly blocked the old man.

Seeing this scene, Jimo Hong couldn't help but sneered: "Why, are you so angry? Didn't you find me in person at the beginning and made it clear that you didn't like Jimo being the head of the family and saying that you would support me in fighting for the position of the head of the family?"

"Don't try to deny it, I still have the jade slip with your clan's old seal in my storage bag!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole study room became noisy like a pot was exploding. Especially the old man who was bitten out by Jimo Hong, his whole body was trembling.

He suppressed his blush and stared at Jimo Hong, almost bursting out of his eyes: "You are talking nonsense! He is trying to sow discord between our Jimo family. You can't believe it, Duan Ge!"

Speaking of the latter, the old man couldn't help but play the emotional card with Jimo.

But now Jimo Hong knows that he cannot escape, so how can he be willing to watch these people pushing him into the abyss and still live in such glory?

He immediately added: "Don't worry, after all, you are not the only one who has taken the initiative to contact me. The nine, twelve and sixteen clan elders have all expressed their intention to make friends with me!"

Seeing the sudden changes in the faces of several people in the study, Jimo Hong's expression became even more wanton.

It's a pity that when he looked at Jimo Zange, the other person still had that calm face, as if no matter what he did, he couldn't create a ripple in the other person's heart.

Gradually, Jimo Hong stopped smiling. He suddenly felt that these revenges were meaningless at all, because Jimo Dange didn't care whether these clan elders surrendered or not. After all, the only family head would be him.

"Master?" Seeing that Jimo had not spoken for a long time, the housekeeper gave a timely reminder.

The study room instantly became quiet, and all eyes fell on the man sitting in the main seat, as if his future fate could be determined by just one word from him.

However, this is indeed the case.

The atmosphere in the room gradually became heavy, and Jimo Dange's gaze swept over everyone, taking in their current expressions.

Finally, his eyes fell on Jimo Hong: "You are lucky and enjoy the resources belonging to the direct lineage as a collateral branch, but you are too greedy and never satisfied."

"As a member of the Jimo family, you colluded with evil cultivators to murder your clan members. This is unfaithful. You assisted me in managing Rizhao City, but you sent innocent people into the hands of evil cultivators. This is unkind. You were protected by your father and you are what you are today.

It is unfilial to live up to your father's painstaking efforts without thinking of anything in return."

"You are not worthy of being a member of the Jimo family. Today, I will sentence you to the death penalty of exterminating the clan leader to comfort the spirits of those who died in this battle!"

When the last word fell, Jimo Hong's eyes suddenly shot to Jimo Dange in the main seat.

His eyes were bloodshot, and there was a hint of madness, as if he wanted to struggle and pounce on Jimo to end the war.

But the butler's hands were like iron claws, holding him down tightly and not giving him any chance to escape.

Jimo Hong could only scream at the top of his lungs: "You have no right to mention my father. If it wasn't to save your father, how could he die?! This is all what your Jimo family owes me, all of you owe me! Head of the family.

I should have been compensated for my position..."

"Pull him down and let the whole city come to watch the execution tomorrow!" Before Jimo Hong could finish speaking, Fu Yinqiu slapped the table and ordered people to drag him away.

Even so, Jimo Hong kept howling, as if he wanted to vent all his resentment over the years.

But how could the housekeeper allow him to say such disrespectful words to the head of the family? So as soon as Jimo Hong was dragged out of the study, the housekeeper ordered someone to silence him.

This once extremely noble second master of the Jimo family was dragged into the dungeon, as if his lifelong unwillingness and resentment were buried.

The study returned to its previous quietness. Jimo Dange raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, feeling extremely tired.

He knew that what Jimo Hong said before was true. For the other party to become as paranoid as it is today, it was definitely due to the work of the elders present here.

Seeing their frightened looks, Jimo Dange really wanted to ask: Now that I know I'm afraid, why did I have the courage to provoke him and Jimo Hong in the first place?!

Although Jimo Duange also knew that several clan elders probably just wanted to use Jimo Hong to beat themselves up, and they may not really have the intention to help the other party replace themselves.

But it is precisely because they were unwilling to delegate power and win over Jimo Hong for their own interests that they caused the Jimo family to face today's crisis.

He closed his eyes, and after a moment he slowly said: "After today, the elders of the three clans, the elders of the nine clans, and the twelve and sixteen clan elders no longer have to worry about the affairs of the Jimo family. You are older.

, it’s better to go to the Forbidden Forest to recuperate earlier.”

"How can this be..."

The rebuttal voices of several clan elders were stuck in Jimo Duange's throat when his sharp gaze swept over.

"I'm just telling you that my patience is really limited." Jimo Dange's voice was deep, but it carried a sense of intimidation that could not be refuted.

Although several clan elders are unwilling to do so, they also know that if they don't obey me, they may not just be "cultivated" in the Forbidden Forest.

They are older and feel that there is no hope of promotion. However, if they offend the family head and cause the younger generation to lose resources, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Thinking of this, several clan elders still lowered their heads and accepted the verdict of ending the war with Jimo.

Even though the Forbidden Forest was a famous place for the Jimo family to "think about their mistakes", and even if they entered the Forbidden Forest and feared that they would never be able to leave for the rest of their lives, they still accepted it.

Now that the rewards and punishments were over, everyone felt they had nothing more to say, so they left one after another.

The head of the house and his wife did not persuade him to stay because they still had important matters to discuss.

As for the object of discussion, it is naturally the Cangyu Sect who was ungrateful when the Jimo family was in trouble!
