Douluo Jueshi: Who made him a soul mentor!

Chapter 60: Great Elder: I don’t believe it
Wang Yuan looked at Wang Chen, and there was more respect in his eyes than before.

Wang Chen's displayed strength and talent completely impressed him, and he was willing to make him the clan leader.

Wang Yuan explained, "The Great Elder has been dissatisfied with the clan leader for a long time. Chen'er, with your strength and talent, the Great Elder will definitely fully support you to become the new clan leader.

As long as the Great Elder supports you, then the Third Elder, the Seventh Elder and the Eleventh Elder will definitely support you.

Including me, you have five elders supporting you. You only need to win over one more elder to nominate you at the family meeting and elect you as the new clan leader."

Wang Chen's eyes lit up after hearing this. As a young member of the Wang family, he was not very clear about the relationship between the top leaders of the family.

He also didn't expect that the eldest elder had such a great influence on the family, and he alone could influence three elders.

If the Great Elder supports him, then five of the twelve elders in the family will support him.

Wang Chen was slightly surprised and said, "The Great Elder actually has such influence."

Wang Yuan sighed and said, "It's not that the Great Elder is powerful, but what the clan leader has done over the years is indeed unpopular.

The elders of the family all had complaints about him, and some of them were extremely dissatisfied with him. The eldest elder was the representative of these extremely dissatisfied elders.

Wang Chen nodded, knowing that most of the family members were unwilling to get involved in the dangerous struggle for the throne.

After all, the fight for the throne is no joke. The level of danger is definitely the highest level of five stars, even more dangerous and treacherous than going to the battlefield.

After saying that, Wang Yuan pulled Wang Chen towards the residence of the Great Elder.

...............................

Sunny noon.

The Great Elder was lying on a recliner, basking in the sun in the courtyard, looking inexplicably sad.

He originally thought that after breaking through to the Soul Douluo level, he would be able to compete with Wang Yan, but who would have thought that he would be beaten to death by Wang Yan with three punches at the last family meeting.

This is such a sad story…

The Great Elder lay on the recliner, looking at the blue sky, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

The situation in the fight for the throne has been changing rapidly in recent days, making this old man frightened.

First, Xu Tianran defeated the second and third princes to become the crown prince. Then, just two weeks after becoming the crown prince, Xu Tianran was assassinated, his legs were disabled, and the crown prince's position suddenly became unstable.

Then rumors spread that Xu Tianran was inhumane, and now he has been deposed from the position of crown prince.

As supporters of the second prince, his Wang family also suffered setbacks.

The Great Elder touched his increasingly thinning hair and sighed.

When will these days of fear and trembling end? Now, with the dethronement of Crown Prince Xu Tianran, Second Prince Xu Tianyu has regained his power, with a chance exceeding 50% to become the new emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire.

But if the second prince Xu Tianyu fails to ascend the throne one day, his Wang family will inevitably be implicated and purged by the new emperor.

The Great Elder really hated this feeling of not being able to control himself and that his family was standing on the edge of a cliff, as if they would fall into the abyss at any moment.

The Great Elder only regretted that he was not strong enough and wished he could seize the position of clan leader from Wang Yan.

If he were strong enough, he would be the one leading the Wang family, not the selfish and ruthless Wang Yan. If he were the clan leader, he would never involve the Wang family in the struggle for the throne.

After years of development, his Wang family has completely exploded in this generation. The population has begun to surge, and more than a hundred young family members have emerged at once. With a large population, the number of geniuses naturally increases. This generation has three geniuses with innate soul power level nine.

In previous generations, there were few descendants in the family, and each generation only produced one genius with innate soul power level nine.

If the current generation of young men in the family were to fully mature, how much stronger would the Wang family be? There was a high probability that a Titled Douluo-level expert would be born in this generation.

However, Wang Yan was selfish and for his own selfish reasons, he disregarded his family, abandoned the favorable situation, and insisted on getting involved in the struggle for the throne, leading the Wang family down a dangerous path.

The Great Elder's eyes were filled with resentment towards Wang Yan, as well as worry about the future of the Wang family.

After thinking for a while, the Great Elder finally sighed helplessly.

Since we can't change the facts, we can only prepare for the worst.

If the second prince were really defeated one day, he would send some of the Wang family members away from Mingdu.

In the past two years, he has secretly arranged everything in a remote town far away from Mingdu: a new identity, a new house, gold soul coins, rare metals, resources...

Once things change, the young members of the Wang family can be sent out at any time, and then live in hiding in remote towns and villages. After ten or twenty years, when the new emperor dies, they can continue to develop.

And these old guys and the tribesmen with ordinary talents stayed in Mingdu as targets to attract attention.

Thinking of his own arrangements, the Great Elder felt much more relieved. After all, even if the worst case scenario happened, his Wang family would still be able to retain its bloodline and the entire clan would not be wiped out.

Just as the Great Elder was enjoying the warm sunshine, a crisp and lovely voice rang out.

"Grandpa, Elder Wang Yuan is here. He's waiting to see you in the hall. Oh, Grandpa, Elder Wang Yuan brought Brother Wang Chen with him."

After hearing what his good grandson said, the elder slowly stood up from the recliner, stretched his body, and stretched his muscles.

He thought to himself, "Wang Yuan is a guy who never comes to see me unless he has something important to ask. This time, he must have something to ask of me. Well, it's probably related to Wang Chen."

Although the Great Elder might not be strong enough to defeat Wang Yan, he was definitely smart enough to easily guess the purpose of Wang Yuan's visit.

The Great Elder thought of Wang Chen and began to ponder. He had met Wang Chen very few times and only knew that Wang Chen was the most outstanding young man of the Wang family. As for the rest, he was not clear.

The Great Elder thought, "It's a good opportunity to see what this young man Wang Chen is capable of today.

If the Second Prince really fails in the future, whether the Wang family can rise again will depend on Wang Chen’s ability.”

Thinking of this, the Great Elder walked towards the hall.

A moment later, in the hall...

Wang Yuan blabbered and explained his purpose.

The Great Elder was sitting on the sofa in the hall. After listening to Wang Yuan's words, he looked at Wang Yuan as if he was a fool.

"You want me to nominate Wang Chen as the clan leader at the next family meeting? Wang Yuan, you came all the way to my house just to entertain me, didn't you?
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
A Soul Emperor under fifteen? And he was even able to defeat that old ghost Wang Yan? Are you still asleep?
