Chapter 1826


    If Chu Yuan were the emperor of the Chu family, then the Grand Old Lady would be considered the


    empress dowager.


    An emperor who was not recognized by the empress dowager naturallycked legitimacy.


    In other words, this deration of The Grand Old Lady directly vetoed the legitimacy of Chu Yuan to


    take charge of the Chu family.


    If any overseas Chu family members continued to follow Chu Yuan, then these so-called Chu family


    members would lose the orthodox inheritance.


    At least, the ancestral home of the Chu family would no longer recognize these people as


    descendants of the Chu family.


    When Chu Yuan received that news, his usually calm countenance turned furious.


    As immense rage fueled his entire being, he hit the long table in front of him with his palm.


    The table was shattered instantly from the impact.


    “That old woman is really vicious! This will destroy my foundation!”


    Chu Yuan was furious beyond measure.


    Grand Old Lady Chu was the oldest living member of the Chu family and also the most senior


    member of Chu Sect.


    Many decades ago, before Chu Yuan became the leader of the Chu family, The Grand Old Lady


    was in charge.


    Within the family, she was well-respected, and her word was thew.


    Even though she was a woman, the Three Families of the Chu Sect respected her leadership.


    The power and dominance of The Grand Old Lady were unparalleled.


    Even the powerful, wealthy, and honored patriarch of the Tang family himself would greet The


    Grand Old Lady respectfully whenever they met.


    It could be said that during that period, the prestige of Grand Old Lady Chu in Chu Sect was


    unmatched.


    After some time, The Grand Old Lady decided to give up her position of power and isted herself


    in the Chu family''s old house, ignoring family affairs for many years.


    As time passed, the Three Families of the Chu Sect forgot the olddy''s powerful influence.


    After learning that The Grand Old Lady would never leave the family house, Chu Yuan''s respect for


    The Grand Old Lady was only superficial. There was no fear for her in his heart.


    This time, Chu Yuan had openly disobeyed the elder by forcing her most beloved descendants to


    death.


    Chu Yuan had felt that even if it angered The Grand Old Lady after she found out about it, there


    was nothing that she could do to him.


    After all, as long as he did not go back to the family house to look for trouble, there was nothing she


    could do.


    However, never in Chu Yuan''s wildest imaginations did he think that she would go this far.


    She had straightaway expelled him from the Chu family.


    It was as if the empress dowager had personally issued the edict to dethrone the current emperor.


    Eventhough it was just in name, the truth was that in life, everything depended on reputation.


    Chu Yuan did not need to ponder over it anymore. After today, presumably the whole martial arts


    world would feel that he was notorious and no longer represented the orthodox Chu family.


    “That d*mn old hag has really pissed me off. She will be the death of me!”


    Chu Yuan was hopping mad.


    After dealing with Chu Tianfan, unexpectedly, The Grand Old Lady dealt him a blow.


    “Chu Yuan, what is our next step?”


    “Everyone is talking about us now.”


    “Even the Tang family and the Jones family are looking down on us.”


    “There are even rumors that the Chu family on Mount Chumen are imposters and not really


    Yunyang''s descendants.”


    “The direct descendants of Chu Yunyang, who is the ancestor of the Chu family, are in China,


    Jiangdong, and Fenghai...”


    “The legitimacy of our Chu family on Mount Chumen has been seriously questioned.”


    During these moments, the elders of the Chu family were all anxious, and they came to Chu Yuan


    to ask about their future ns.


    After all, as a person grew older, the more strongly they felt about their collective identity.


    Bloodlines, inheritance, and orthodoxy became more important.


    Chu Yuan had angered the elder, and his name was removed from the family registry.


    Naturally, those elders of the Chu family were also afraid that their names would be removed from


    the Chu family ancestral shrine after their death, and while they lived, their names would be


    removed from the Chu family registry.


    At the thought of that, the elders of the Chu family panicked even more.


    “Why are you panicking? The olddy has removed our names from the family tree. We can write


    another one. If we are not allowed into the family shrine, we shall build another shrine. As for the


    rumors that are going around, we can just ignore them. All you need to do now is to allow me time


    to practice all the martial arts secret techniques that I retrieved from the forbidden grounds this time.


    In this world, the strong are respected. When you master enough power, the noise of those


    insignificant mortals will naturally be silenced.”


    After his bout of fury, Chu Yuan gradually calmed down.


    He did not want to waste time on these technicalities. All he wanted was power.


    Once he had harnessed enough power to destroy the heavens and the earth, everything would be


    under his control.


    As for the ancestral shrine, orthodoxy, and family lineage, those were unimportant!


    “I, Chu Yuan, am nobody''s descendant. Just wait. After today, everyone would consider me the


    ancestor!”


    On that day, Chu Yuan''s continuous roar resounded throughout the entire Mount Chumen.


    When the Chu family heard those words, they were all shocked.


    They only felt that after ten years of seclusion, the Chu Yuan who reemerged this time had totally


    transformed.


    “Granduncle is so different from what he was before...” some younger Chu family members


    mumbled to themselves.


    News of Chu Yuan''s expulsion from the Chu family''s registry caused quite a stir in the global martial


    arts world.


    No one would have thought that the fall of Chu Tianfan would spike the fury of the Chu family''s


    Grand Old Lady.


    While the martial arts societies of various countries were discussing the matter endlessly, the


    warriors in China were, in contrast, unconcerned.


    Under the summon of War God Castle, the country set off a wave of searching for the missing


    person.


    All over China, everyone was searching for the former moderator of the martial arts world forum


    who went by the username “Mortal Spark.”


    Meanwhile, when the martial arts world was busy in China, a mighty and majestic figure appeared


    at the foot of Mount Yan.


    Presumably, Sword Saint and the others had not imagined that barely after Japan''s Tsukuyomi left,


    another uninvited guest would arrive at Mount Yan.


    “Who do all of you think that this Mortal Spark is? More than ten years ago, he appeared suddenly


    out of nowhere. Now, his ount is not active and invisible. It''s so weird. What''s his motive? What''s


    the purpose?”


    In the past few days, the King of Fighters and the others have been devastated by this incident.


    Since it was rted to the rise of martial arts in China, those at the top level were naturally


    concerned about it.


    Sword Saint shook his head and stated, “This is an old senior. Hence, there should be no ulterior


    motives. After all, this old senior had been contributing selflessly to the forum through the years


    without gaining anything. Be it cultivation techniques or secret techniques; all were disclosed free of


    charge. Furthermore, he will exin any problems encountered by the youth in their cultivation


    without reservation. This is a senior who loves the country and the people. I feel that this senior may


    have passed away, and his family members had deleted his ount on his behalf.”


    “Are you saying that the old senior may have f-f-fallen? Uh...” King of Fighters and Tang Hao were


    shocked when they heard the man''s words.


    If it were as the Sword Saint had stated, it would mean that those unfinished exercises and secret


    techniques were really the senior''sst words!


    If that were the case, then the hope that the martial arts world in China had just seen arose had


    already died.


    While their eyes were filled with sorrow and their spirits were low, footsteps were hearding from


    outside the War God Castle all of a sudden.


    “Hm? Who''s there?”


    The next moment, Sword Saint and the others were shocked, and their expressions immediately


    changed.


    By right, if a warrior entered the Mount Van range, they should detect the warrior''s aura instantly.


    However, this time, they only knew that someone had arrived when they heard footsteps. They did


    not sense his arrival at War God Castle prior to that.


    While the three of them were still in shock, the imposing and thick gate of the War God Castle was


    slowly pushed open.


    The sun shone in, and a figure appeared before them.This is from N?velDrama.Org.
