Cultivation of immortality by toad starts with cultivating demons

Chapter 1876 The Struggle for Family Headship: Taking the Initiative

Deep within Wujiabao, in a grand hall, a middle-aged man in brocade robes was sitting cross-legged on a futon in the center of the hall.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the space several feet in front of them, and two figures walked out from it.

The middle-aged man in brocade robes seemed to sense something, and suddenly opened his eyes. He immediately saw two figures in the main hall, and his pupils shrank in shock!

The two figures were Mo Fan and Wu Chaoran, the second elder of the Wu family.

"Who is your Excellency?"

The middle-aged man's gaze finally settled on Mo Fan, his expression extremely solemn.

Mo Fan did not answer, but looked at the middle-aged man with great interest.

This man is none other than Wu Chaofan, the current head of the Wu family!

He is also the strongest member of the entire Wu family besides the patriarch who has been in seclusion.

Judging from his appearance alone, this person was much older than Wu Chaoran, with slightly graying temples, and exuded an air of refinement and composure.

Even at this moment, Mo Fan couldn't tell how nervous Wu Chaofan was.

"If you can survive, I wouldn't mind letting you know my name."

Mo Fan chuckled, then took a few steps back. The power of the spatial laws within his body surged, almost instantly enveloping the entire hall and isolating it from the outside world.

Although Wu Chaofan's cultivation level was not as high as Mo Fan's, he was still a powerful expert in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm and saw through Mo Fan's methods at a glance.

"The power of law..."

"Your Excellency... no, senior, are you a Saint Venerable Realm cultivator?"

Wu Chaofan took a deep breath, still not glancing at Wu Chaoran, but slowly stood up, cupped his fists to Mo Fan and said, "I wonder how my Wu family has offended you, senior, to the point that such a powerful person as you has come to our door in person."

"Wu Chaofan, you've talked too much today!"

Seeing Mo Fan smile without saying a word, Wu Chaoran immediately snorted coldly, staring at Wu Chaofan with icy eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You have also seen the strength of this senior, which is far beyond what my Wu family can afford to provoke."

"The senior has promised me that as long as you die, the Wu family will continue to exist in this northern desert plain, and the senior will even help the Wu family to grow stronger!"

As he spoke, he paused slightly, his gaze toward Wu Chaofan sharpening, a hint of fanaticism creeping into his eyes, and he sneered, "So... as the head of the Wu family, you should be thinking about the future of my Wu family!"

"For the sake of the lives of tens of thousands of members of the Wu family, I think you, Patriarch, would commit suicide, wouldn't you?"

Mo Fan glanced at Wu Chaoran with some surprise upon hearing this, but quickly understood.

Clearly, Wu Chaoran had no confidence in defeating Wu Chaofan, so he used his own name to coerce Wu Chaofan, threatening the survival of the entire Wu family in an attempt to force him to commit suicide.

"This guy does have some tricks up his sleeve!"

Mo Fan sneered inwardly, but did not expose Wu Chaoran's trick. He was also eager to see what choice the Wu family patriarch would make.

At this moment, Wu Chaofan finally understood that the Saint Venerable Realm expert in front of him was probably not provoked by the Wu family members, but had a clear purpose.

It must have been brought by Wu Chaoran, just to kill him.

What he didn't understand was when Wu Chaoran had become so capable that he could actually get a Saint Venerable Realm expert to help him.

"I am willing to offer you a mine, senior. I only hope that you will not interfere in the affairs of my Wu family. At that time, I will also introduce you to my Wu family patriarch. He is also a Saint Venerable cultivator. I think you will be able to have a pleasant conversation."

"You have no deep-seated grudge against my Wu family. It's far better to be on good terms with my Wu family than to be enemies!"

Wu Chaofan looked at Mo Fan and continued speaking.

His words caused Wu Chaoran's expression to change, and he immediately shouted angrily at him: "Wu Chaofan, as the head of the Wu family, seeing that the Wu family is now in danger, are you going to be indifferent to the tens of thousands of members of the Wu family just to save your own life?!"

Wu Chaofan frowned again. Seeing that Mo Fan still did not answer, he looked at Wu Chaoran, whose face was contorted with rage, and sighed, "Second Elder, do you really think the Wu family will be safe if I die?"

"If even a mine can't sway this senior, it means that the offer I made is far from enough. What he wants is not the mine, but my entire Wu family!"

So even if I die, the Wu family will still be unable to escape his control.

As he spoke, Wu Chaofan looked at Mo Fan and said with a wry smile, "Am I right?"

"interesting!"

Mo Fan smiled, then urged, "I don't have much time. Within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, only one of you can survive."

If you can't do it, then you might as well all die!

Mo Fan's words caused the two members of the Wu family to shrink in surprise.

"Ancestor, what brings you here!"

Suddenly, Wu Chaoran looked behind Wu Chaofan and spoke with some surprise.

Wu Chaofan was overjoyed and immediately turned around to look.

Just then, Wu Chaoran moved, transforming into a black shadow and instantly approaching Wu Chaofan from behind, then slamming a palm down on Wu Chaofan's head.

But before his hand could even get close to Wu Chaofan, his body had already been pierced by a long sword.

"laugh!"

A muffled thud was heard, followed by a terrifying burst of sword intent that instantly extinguished all of Wu Chaoran's life force.

Wu Chaoran, die!

"Clap clap clap..."

At this moment, Mo Fan suddenly clapped his hands, his face full of admiration, and smiled, "As expected of the head of the Wu family, you are so efficient and decisive!"

"Do you still stand by what you just said, senior?"

Wu Chaofan sheathed his sword, glanced at the corpse lying on the ground, and his expression was somewhat complicated.

"Rest assured, I always keep my word."

"Since he's dead, you can live, but..."

"Whether you want to live this life or live a lifetime depends on your actions!"

Mo Fan chuckled, walked directly to Wu Chaoran's corpse, glanced at the unseeing eyes of the dead Wu Chaoran, and sneered, "Did this guy really think I would choose him?"

"What I need is not a lustful fiend, but someone who is truly talented and can do practical things for me. If I don't have one, then I will find someone else."

"Isn't Patriarch Wu the person I'm looking for?"

As he spoke, Mo Fan looked at Wu Chaofan, whose face immediately stiffened, and his heaving chest told of how unsettled he was.

Without keeping Mo Fan waiting, he took a deep breath, immediately knelt on one knee before Mo Fan, and said in a deep voice, "Wu Chaofan, I am willing to give my life for you, senior!"

"very good!"

Mo Fan nodded, then chuckled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you work diligently for me, I will naturally not make things difficult for your Wu family."

"With your words of advice, I'm relieved!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chaofan breathed a sigh of relief, but then he saw Mo Fan point a finger at his brow, which filled him with extreme horror.

"Do not resist. Let me see your memories."

Mo Fan's calm voice carried an undeniable domineering air, and Wu Chaofan eventually lowered his guard, allowing Mo Fan to access his memories.

Soon, Mo Fan withdrew his right hand, patted the Xuanhuang gourd at his waist, and Wu Chaoran's corpse on the ground was instantly put into it.

This scene sent chills down Wu Chaofan's spine.

Do you think I'm too domineering?

"Don't dare!"

"To tell you the truth, if your Wu family hadn't provoked me, I wouldn't have treated you this way."

Mo Fan glanced at Wu Chaofan, then sneered and said, "Let's go, take me to see your Wu family's ancestor!"

"What!?"

Wu Chaofan was startled, somewhat surprised, and then a complex mix of emotions arose within him.

He was torn between wanting to take Mo Fan there and not daring to take him.

"If I were to merely subdue you, you would surely not be content with that, so I have no choice but to resolve the matter once and for all."

"Once you defeat your ancestor, you'll realize that submitting to me was the wisest decision you've ever made!"

Mo Fan grinned, but in his heart he was thinking, rather than beating the young and then the old, it would be better to take care of both of them at the same time!
