Swallowing the Stars: Increase your comprehension by one point every day.

After hearing this, Monto nodded slightly. He looked at Ferdi intently, wanting to see what expression Ferdi would make. "This suggestion is excellent. The ancestor's cosmic-level disciple will personally guard the headquarters of the Dragon Empire. Once Gao Xiang goes there, his safety will be guaranteed, and in just a few years, he will become the head of our family in the Dragon Empire."

Ferdi didn't argue.

The headquarters of the Dragon Empire is already guarded by the patriarch's disciple, who also serves as the head of the organization. Gao Xiang has already gone there, so it's impossible for him to become the head of the organization.

Meng Tuo and others simply wanted to revoke Gao Xiang's status as a key candidate for training, thus clearing obstacles for Lai Lier and Feng Tang.

Ferdi had long seen through these people's schemes and tricks.

As long as he is there, he will never agree to cancel Gao Xiang's status as a key candidate for training.

"Why."

Chief Fengdi looked at the group of people discussing amongst themselves and found it difficult to say anything.

Now, almost all of the family's senior management do not have a high opinion of Gao Xiang.

As the patriarch of the family, Fengdi must manage the family affairs properly, ensuring fairness and impartiality while also ensuring that no genius in the family is overlooked.

"Quiet!"

The voice wasn't loud, but it was steady and powerful, like a voice that could penetrate the soul, causing all the high-ranking members present, who were discussing amongst themselves, to look in the direction of the clan leader, Fengdi.

The scene fell silent.

They all knew that the clan leader was about to speak.

Gao Xiang is just a planetary-level kid. Whether he can still be given special training depends entirely on his word, as long as he doesn't violate the clan rules.

"You guys vote. I abstain."

Ultimately, bagpipes adopted a compromise.

"Chieftain, you mustn't!"

Upon hearing Bagpipes' decision, Ferdi immediately shouted it out.

The clan chief's actions were forcing Gao Xiang to his doom.

"hey-hey."

Upon hearing the chieftain's decision, Monto sneered at Ferdi.

The clan chief's father's decision was tantamount to indirectly sentencing Gao Xiang to death.

Montgomery had long wanted to kill Gao Xiang.

It's just that I haven't had the opportunity.

After the vote, Gao Xiang was disqualified from being given special training and he will definitely leave the Qiulong Star base camp to go to other planets.

At that time, Meng Tuo will have plenty of opportunities to kill Gao Xiang.

Ten minutes passed.

The clan chief opened the voting panel.

His expression remained completely unchanged.

Because the outcome was already predetermined and unchangeable.

So what if Gao Xiang is his own grandson?

"Clan leader, we agreed to give Gao Xiang a hundred years to prove himself. You can't break the agreement now!" With the voting results about to be announced, Fei Di couldn't sit still any longer and brought up the agreement he had made with the clan leader that day.

"Ferdi, what nonsense are you talking about? I remember my father, the clan chief, promised Gao Xiang ten years of cultivation resources, not a hundred years!" With the results about to be announced, Meng Tuo didn't want this old guy Ferdi to continue causing trouble.

"Meng Tuo is right. The clan chief only promised ten years' worth of cultivation resources!"

An elder echoed this sentiment.

Ten years of cultivation resources are enough for a planetary-level kid to advance to the ninth level of the planetary-level.

Breaking through to the Hengxing level will no longer be just a matter of resources.

Some planetary-level ninth-tier beings may have been stuck at the ninth tier for hundreds of years before barely breaking through to the eternal-level.

"I did promise to give Gao Xiang a hundred years to observe him." At this moment, the clan chief had no choice but to bring up a conversation he had with Fei Di five years ago.

"Ferdi, you old bastard, you're so cunning!" Montgomery was furious after learning that Ferdi hadn't lied.

I never imagined that old man Ferdi was so cunning!

"Clan leader, now that the voting is over, let's announce the results quickly. I'm planning to take Gao Xiang to Black Dragon Star to expand our business."

Tantanfa licked his lips with his long, slender tongue; he was already looking forward to seeing how Gao Xiang would taste.

The result was two votes against and eight votes in favor.

Under pressure from these high-ranking officials, the clan leader had no choice but to announce the results truthfully.

Ferdi must have voted against it.

The clan chief has abstained from voting in order to ensure fairness.

The other person who objected is unknown.

"Who is it that's going against the grain?" Montgomery looked around, wanting to see who was going to disagree.

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it too." Tantanfa gently pinched his smooth, delicate face, also showing great anticipation.

The future head of the family will either be Feng Tang or Lyle.

These elders are all shrewd old foxes; they would never do something that loses money.

The tall, thin Marshall suddenly looked around, "What's going on?"

Then he added, "We only have ten people here, and the clan leader abstained, so how come we still have ten votes?"

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the clan chief, Fengdi.

Ferdinand, who had been complaining about bagpipes, now had a more relaxed expression.

The clan leader was quite puzzled to be stared at like that by everyone.

He did indeed abstain.

The question is, how did an extra ballot suddenly appear?

Bagpipes wanted to speak, but before it could, it heard a deep, soul-stirring sound.

Everyone present, except for Ferdi, felt their legs go weak, as if they were carrying a heavy burden on their backs.

This is the pressure from an absolute powerhouse, a pressure that can annihilate their very existence with a single move.

Ferdi saw that everyone's foreheads were covered in cold sweat, but he didn't feel any discomfort. Only then did he realize what was happening, and he immediately knelt down towards the door:

"Welcome back, Ancestor, from seclusion!"

Meng Tuo felt a sense of foreboding: "The Ancestor has actually emerged from seclusion!"

He withstood the pressure, turned around, and knelt down facing the doorway.

Pfft!

The heavy thud of kneeling was like a giant hammer slamming onto the hard floor.

In an instant, the floor in front of Montgomery shattered, revealing a spiderweb-like pattern of broken surfaces.

Before long, everyone present was kneeling down.

"They're all a bunch of good-for-nothings—"

A cold voice rang in the ears of everyone present.

Sure enough, an elderly man with gray hair appeared at the door without anyone noticing.

The old man was wearing a bright red robe.

He is the soul of the Carol family, the family's founder Carol, a ninth-tier powerhouse at the cosmic level.

Ferdi noticed that the old ancestor was different, and he began to congratulate him: "Congratulations on emerging from seclusion and entering the realm of the Laws of Fire."

After Ferdi finished speaking, everyone noticed that the old man was different.

"Congratulations, Ancestor!"

"Our ancestor's strength has once again made leaps and bounds, a fortunate event for our family!"

"Our ancestor is truly gifted!"

The high-ranking officials, who were just moments ago terrified, are now starting to flatter them.

"Get up, everyone."

Carlo withdrew his oppressive aura and walked inside.

He waited for 50,000 years for that battle, and now, as that battle is about to begin, his understanding of the laws has reached a whole new level!

"Ancestor, please have a seat."

When the patriarch entered, the clan chief patted off non-existent dust from the main seat.

Carlo walked slowly over and sat in the main seat, looking at the clan chief with a blank expression.

The clan leader felt uneasy for a moment.

The clan chief most likely knows what just happened.
