CHAPTER 1542 TAKEN OVER
All eight clans sent out advanced grandmaster level fighters who were all at least an elder in their clans, so they were definitely very capable. How did they...
What crazy place was this Donghai?
"Master Sima, Mr Hongshan would like me to tell you that it's not that Donghai is frightening, but that Fang Wei and Jiang Ning of Donghai are working together and they laid a trap for the other seven families."
Sima Ru's expression changed.
He had thought of this possibility before, but he didn't think it could really be true.
The Fang clan was one of the reclusive clans, and none of the eight could do without any one. Otherwise, even if he got the manual, there was no way to decode the map. Why would Fang Wei do this?
Unless he was aiming to get more say after the map was decoded.
"Master Sima, I've said everything I was supposed to already. Donghai is quite a formidable place, but there's no way this would have happened if the eight clans had truly joined forces. My master says that you must be careful and beware of Fang Wei!" Fang Hongshan's subordinate clasped his hands together to bid Sima Ru farewell and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a mad rush of wind hit him!
PAK!
A figure flew in and slammed Fang Hongshan's subordinate onto the floor.
"AHH!" Before he could scream, someone stepped on his chest and broke his chest bone with a loud crack!
The terrible pain made him faint immediately, but the great pain also made him regain consciousness again.
"When did the Sima clan need to listen to the Fang clan?"
A low and murderous voice filled the air.
Sima Ru immediately stood up.
"Greetings to Senior Elder!"
He frowned slightly. He didn't expect the most senior elder, Sima Gang, to come out.
"Shut up!" Sima Gang's expression was fierce and his gaze was icy. He didn't have any regard for Sima Ru even though Sima Ru was the head of the clan.
After being shouted at, Sima Ru's expression looked rather nasty, but he didn't dare to retort.
The position of being the Senior Elder in these reclusive clans was always higher than the head of the clan. In fact, they could even overthrow the head of the clan and change it to someone else!
"Answer me! Where is Sima Heng?!" Sima Gang didn't even look at Sima Ru. He looked down at the man beneath his feet and shouted, "Answer me!” "He's...he's been incapacitated by the people in Donghai..." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"And where's Sima Gao?!" shouted Sima Gang again. The murder in his voice intensified.
"He's...he's dead..."
CRAAAACK!
He stepped even harder on the man and broke more of his ribs. The subordinate immediately let out a blood curdling scream.
"Useless thing!” Sima Gang gave a kick and sent the man flying. His head crashed heavily against the wall and cracked open with a loud blast. Red and white mushy substances flowed out from his head and he stopped breathing immediately.
The entire hall immediately fell silent. Sima Ru held his breath and didn't dare to make any sound.
Sima Gang walked over to him and looked at Sima Ru with those icy eyes. Sima Ru's heart was trembling in fear.
"I let you be the head of the clan and this is how you carry out your duties?” His voice carried disappointment, rage and was intensely murderous. "Someone is practically taking over your place and you're being so cowardly?"
"Senior Elder..."
PAK!
Sima Gang slapped Sima Ru across the face and five finger marks immediately appeared on Sima Ru's cheek. Sima Gang didn't care that there were others in the hall.
He didn't care that Sima Ru was still the head of the Sima clan!
"Sima Gao was an elder that I nominated, while Sima Heng is my nephew. One got killed and the other was incapacitated but you still sit here without moving at all. Sima Ru, it looks like you don't want to be the head of the clan anymore!”
