Six of the top ten elders of the Ashen Family have already decided that li Yufeng will be the next patriarch, while the last three have turned down the vote. The third elder says that since liushui forfeited his position as patriarch, he will also do the same. The fourth elder adds that since the family needs only one patriarch, there has never been a precedent that a patriarch could take over another's wealth by force. The fifth elder points out that there are precedents for patriarchs to take over wealth through force, but the third elder doesn't understand why he's being asked to do so. He says that he'll never say no, but that he has to ask his brothers for their decisions too. He tells the fifth elder that he was asked to be lifeng's " errand boy" when the family was hunting for a god-level growth rate demon spirit, but he didn't want to do it because his cultivation was way behind that of the other patriarch's son. He's still not happy about that. He also tells the third and fifth elders that they're forcing his people to do something for him. He asks them to leave, but they won't leave until he becomes patriarch.
