After ten years of seclusion, he forced the demon queen to marry him

Ah?

Xia Haoyuan was dumbfounded.

He asked Xia Ruoguang sternly:"Xia Ruoguang! What do you mean?"

"Slandering me?"

Xia Ruoguang ignored Xia Haoyuan and took out the account book he had prepared long ago and handed it to Xia Changming.

"This is the account book in which I have recorded the spiritual stones that the great elder Xia Haoyuan has embezzled in the past few years. It contains the amount that should have been put into the storehouse. You can find out as long as you go to the spiritual stone storehouse to check it one by one."

Xia Changming took the account book, then flipped through a few pages, his face gradually frowned.

In just these few years, Xia Haoyuan embezzled more than 100,000 spiritual stones from the spiritual stone storehouse. No wonder the Xia family is so short of cultivation resources and is gradually surpassed by the Cai family!

"What a great elder of our Xia family is! He has really devoted himself to the Xia family!"

""You are worthy of the position of the Grand Elder?!"

Xia Haoyuan's face turned pale and blue, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Although he had known for a long time that Xia Ruoguang had known about his greed for spiritual stones, he thought he had firmly grasped his weakness and never took it to heart. He never thought that it would be exposed in public today.

At this point, Xia Haoyuan could only deny it.

"Slander! I have never taken a single spiritual stone from the Xia family!"

"This account book can be forged, but it cannot be true!"

"Humph, slander?"

"You can find out whether it is true or false by checking it out."

Xia Changming casually threw the account book on the table for the other elders to read, and then said coldly:

"The Great Elder is suspected of embezzling nearly one million spirit stones, and forming cliques within the Xia Family. According to the Xia Family rules, all the power and duties of the Great Elder will be temporarily removed!"

"Wait until the truth is clear before making any decisions!"

It's time to remove this old man from the position of the Great Elder!

Xia Changming sneered, his eyes sharp.

Xia Haoyuan finally couldn't help but shouted angrily:

"You think you can remove me from my position as the Grand Elder?"

"If half of the elders do not agree, you have no right to deprive me of my status as the chief elder!"

"Half?"

Xia Changming snorted disdainfully, looking at Xia Haoyuan as if he were a fool.

Xia Ruoguang took the lead and said in a deep voice:

"The Great Elder's crimes have damaged the foundation of the Xia Family, and his moral conduct is poor. I think he can no longer serve as the Great Elder. Please remove him from the position of Great Elder!"

With Xia Ruoguang's statement, several other elders also stood up and said:

"He embezzled a large number of spirit stones, causing the Xia family's children to lack resources for cultivation. This is absolutely unforgivable. Please remove him from the position of Grand Elder!"

"This behavior is unbecoming of a Xia family elder. Please remove him from his position as elder!"

"This old man also agrees. Please dismiss the Great Elder!"

The Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the Fifth Elder, the three of them only knew at this moment that Xia Haoyuan had secretly amassed so many spirit stones for his own benefit!

The three of them were either threatened or forced to associate with Xia Haoyuan. Their hearts have always been inclined to Xia Ruoguang, not him, Xia Haoyuan!

Seeing that Xia Ruoguang took the lead in accusing Xia Haoyuan, and also understood Xia Haoyuan's bad behavior, how could they associate with him again!

Now that Xia Changming is in charge of the Xia family, there is no need to be afraid of him, Xia Haoyuan!

"Four votes, plus my fifth vote"

""Grand Elder... Oh no, Xia Haoyuan, from now on, you are no longer the Grand Elder of the Xia Family!"

Xia Changming announced to Xia Haoyuan calmly.

It was not known whether it was out of anger or the shame of being deprived of the position of Grand Elder in public. Xia Haoyuan's face turned red, and he seemed to be about to explode, but he could not say anything.

In the end, he had to grit his teeth and swallow this breath.

"Good! Good method!"

"You are going to join forces to pull me down, right? I will remember this!"

Xia Haoyuan looked at Xia Changming fiercely, and was about to leave when Xia Changming called him back.

"Wait, you haven't left the seal of the great elder yet"

""Hmph!"

Xia Haoyuan tore off the token tied to his waist, slammed it on the table, and left without looking back.

Xia Jun, the sixth elder, also left with him.

Xia Jun had always been a strong supporter of Xia Haoyuan's lineage, but now that Xia Haoyuan had no choice but to leave in disgrace, he would only be asking for trouble if he continued to stay here.

"Patriarch, now that Xia Haoyuan is no longer the Grand Elder, who will take over the position of Grand Elder?"

Xia Ruoguang asked.

The position of Grand Elder is not just for show. It is responsible for coordinating all family affairs and maintaining the family's development.

It can also act as the Patriarch's power when the Patriarch is absent.

It can be said to be a very important position.

Since Xia Changming intends to kick Xia Haoyuan out of the position of Grand Elder, he has naturally already thought of the candidate for the new Grand Elder.

"The new position of the Great Elder will be taken by my father, Xia Changlin. He will be in charge of everything while I am away."

Xia Changming said without thinking.

Anyway, his father has been idle all day since he was no longer the head of the family, so it would be better to find something for him to do...

As the former head of the Xia family, he knows more about all the affairs of the Xia family than he does, so it is perfect!

The elders had no objection to Xia Changming's decision.

Since the matter had been finalized, Xia Changming asked before the meeting ended:

"Is there anything else next?"

Xia Ruoguang took out an unopened letter from his arms and handed it to Xia Changming, saying:

"The Xie family asked me to bring you a letter, which seems to invite you to meet"

"Xie family?"

Xia Changming was suspicious.

The Xie family was one of the four great families, and was the weakest among the four. They had no grudges or hatred with the Xia family. But this time, they suddenly invited him.

Xia Changming couldn't figure out why the Xie family invited him. Maybe it was related to the marriage between the Cai family and the Wang family. He put the letter away for the time being.

If you have nothing to do, go and see her.

I heard that the singer of the Xie family was known as the most beautiful woman in the Tianzhou Dynasty...

Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious.

I don't know how she compares to his wife.

After Xia Changming put away the letter, Xia Ruoguang continued:

"There is another thing. In recent days, a large number of monsters have suddenly appeared on a mountain in the southwest of Tiandu, and the spiritual energy of the mountain is strong and persistent."

"A few months ago, the spiritual energy in that mountain was very weak and monsters were rarely seen. Now the situation is abnormal and quite weird!"

"The Emperor of Tianzhou has sent people to investigate, but the reason is still unknown."

"Oh? Is this true?"Xia Changming said.

It was indeed very strange that a mountain with little spiritual power suddenly became full of spiritual power and monsters were everywhere.

It was very similar to a situation his master had said!

But he was not sure yet.

If it was really what his master said, then this might be a great opportunity for immortality....

"If the master of the family has nothing else to do, then we will take our leave first.

Seeing that Xia Changming was thinking, Xia Ruoguang prepared to take his leave with the others.

"Wait a minute."

Xia Changming waved his hand and asked Xia Ruoguang to come closer to him, and whispered in his ear:

"Please, Second Elder, mobilize the clan secret guards to investigate Xia Haoyuan!"

Xia Ruoguang's eyes showed horror.

Mobilizing the clan secret guards to investigate means that he is suspected of betraying the family, and he will be cleared out as soon as the evidence is solid!

Although he knew that Xia Haoyuan was greedy for spiritual stones and coveted the position of the head of the family, he never thought that he would betray the family.

After all, Xia Haoyuan served as an elder at the same time as him. He had served three generations of family heads and worked for the Xia family for more than a hundred years, so he had never thought of this...

After Xia Changming's reminder, Xia Ruoguang replied very solemnly:

"Yes! I will do it right away!"
