Shenwu Yutianlei

"Yiquan!" Shen Lingtian's eyes were red, his face was full of grief and despair, and he shouted at the top of his lungs. His voice was filled with endless sorrow and indignation, and it seemed to break through the sky, conveying the pain deep in his heart.

He rushed towards Shen Yiquan, who was already breathless. His movements were so urgent and desperate, as if if he was just a little faster, he could pull Shen Yiquan back from the brink of death.

He hugged Shen Yiquan's gradually cold body tightly, tears pouring out like a flood, wetting his face. His body was shaking, and his lips kept murmuring Shen Yiquan's name, as if calling his soul to return.

"It's all my fault. I didn't teach you well. If a son is not well educated, it's the father's fault." Shen Lingtian murmured to himself sadly, his face full of deep self-blame and regret.

All along, he had devoted most of his energy to Shen Yiquan's cultivation during his growth. He earnestly hoped that Shen Yiquan would achieve something in his cultivation, become the pride of the family, and take over his position as the next patriarch of the Shen family.

It is precisely because of this that he may have inadvertently neglected to guide Shen Yiquan's character. He paid too much attention to the results of his practice, but ignored the shaping of his character, and did not realize how important a person's character is. In addition, Shen Yiquan was born with a good living condition, which made him accustomed to being praised by others since he was a child, and he always put himself in a superior position.

He gradually lost himself in the flattery and praise of the crowd, and became arrogant and looked down on others. However, Shen Lingtian did not discover these problems in time, and did not give correct guidance and correction. He did not realize that these potential problems would bring such a huge disaster to Shen Yiquan one day in the future, and also bring irreparable losses to the entire family. At this moment, he looked at Shen Yiquan, who had no breath left, and his heart was filled with endless regret and pain. He knew that all this was irreversible.

Shen Lingtian's movements were gentle and slow, as if he was afraid of disturbing Shen Yiquan. He gently picked up Shen Yiquan's lifeless body. The body that was once full of vitality has now become so cold and heavy. His eyes were full of pain and sorrow, and he pursed his lips tightly, trying to suppress the grief in his heart.

Then, he slowly turned around and looked at everyone in the hall. His eyes were filled with deep remorse and guilt. His voice was low and hoarse, full of endless regret. "I, Shen Lingtian, failed to educate my son properly, causing him to murder his brothers and sisters, and he refused to change despite repeated teachings. I am unworthy of being a father. I have not fulfilled my responsibilities and failed to guide him onto the right path. I am even more ashamed of the Shen family. As the head of the Shen family, I have no face to face all the family members, and I am not worthy of sitting in this position anymore. Today, I hereby resign from the position of head of the Shen family. I hope you will select a virtuous person to lead the family to prosperity."

After saying these words, he could no longer hold back his tears, which flowed down his cheeks. He held Shen Yiquan's body and walked out step by step with difficulty. Every step seemed to be stepping on his heart. His back looked so lonely and desolate. The hall was silent, with only his heavy footsteps echoing in the air, as if telling of his inner pain and helplessness. Everyone looked at his departing back, and complex emotions surged in their hearts, with regret, emotion, and worries about the future.

The meeting hall suddenly fell into a dead silence, the air seemed to freeze, leaving only the heavy breathing and the oppressive atmosphere. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and everyone was immersed in the shock and emotion brought about by Shen Lingtian's words.

It was not until Shen Lingtian's figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight, as if some kind of spell had been broken, that everyone suddenly started talking as if they had just woken up from a dream.

"This, this, this, the position of the patriarch can actually be resigned just like that?" A member of the tribe widened his eyes and said in disbelief, his face full of surprise and confusion, as if he couldn't accept what was happening before his eyes.

"Yes, yes." Another tribe member agreed, nodding repeatedly, "This is too sudden. How can the tribe leader give up the position of tribe leader so easily?"

"Our Shen family is so big, we can't be without a leader!" Another member of the clan said worriedly, his brows furrowed tightly, his face full of worry, "Without the clan leader, what should our Shen family do?"

"Yes, yes, old patriarch, please give us some advice." Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Qingfeng who was sitting next to them, their eyes full of expectation and pleading, hoping that he could come up with a solution. After all, he was a highly respected elder in the family, and everyone hoped to get some guidance and comfort from him.

Shen Qingfeng frowned slightly, a trace of worry appeared on his face, and he slowly said: "Do you have anyone in mind?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the field fell into silence. "This..." For a moment, everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Indeed, what happened today was too sudden. This sudden situation made them completely unprepared, so they were all a little flustered and caught off guard. In each of their hearts, they actually had their own preferred candidates, and in a corner of their hearts, they even secretly thought about becoming the patriarch to show their ambitions. After all, a member of the Shen family who doesn't want to be the patriarch can't be considered a truly qualified member of the Shen family. You know, they made a vow since childhood to continuously practice hard for the rise of the Shen family and contribute their own strength to the prosperity of the family.

However, when faced with reality, they had to admit that they had a clear idea of ​​their own abilities and capabilities. Although they had all kinds of dreams and ambitions in their hearts, they also understood that becoming a patriarch required many abilities and qualities, which was not an easy task.

Moreover, in this situation, it would not be appropriate to support a certain senior leader openly. After all, if one recommends the clan leader based on personal preference, it would probably not be in the interests of oneself and the people behind one. Everyone was secretly calculating and weighing the pros and cons.

At this time, a tribe member stood up and bowed respectfully to the old tribe leader, saying, "Old tribe leader, today's incident happened suddenly, and no one is mentally prepared. In my opinion, it would be better to discuss it another day. I would like to trouble you to work hard for a few more days and temporarily manage the tribe affairs. What do you think?"

His words were echoed by other tribesmen, and everyone felt that in this situation, it was a wise choice to temporarily slow down. The old patriarch listened to everyone's words, nodded slightly, and a helpless expression appeared on his face. He knew that things could only be like this for the time being.
