Everyone stopped involuntarily.The guardians of the Presbyterian Church saw the slowly falling steel door and silently retreated to a more mysterious place.

"Kress, do you think you can change anything by trapping us here? I think you are really old-fashioned! Why don't you abdicate earlier and stop meddling with young people's affairs." Aldridge said disdainfully.

"It's been too long! Even Aldridge, you have forgotten the most glorious history of our Max family." The elder Kress said with a sigh.

Aldridge narrowed his eyes slightly: "Kress, what do you mean? At this moment, do you want to uncover the old family history? I think you should first think about your current predicament."

Alice lowered her head in thought.The most glorious history of the family? !Could it be that the presbyterian's confidence has something to do with this?
Great Elder Kress glanced at Aldridge indifferently.For a family like Su Diwen, when did the former Max family need to be afraid of flattery.

He raised his head and looked at the ceiling carved with ancient and exquisite patterns above the hall, which was the family emblem that symbolized the Max family.His old, wrinkled eyes were full of sadness.

His actions caught everyone's attention, and they couldn't help but follow his gaze.

The huge family emblem suddenly moved slowly, tending to open gradually.Everyone was shocked instantly.Both Aldrich and Max Albert stared wide-eyed. They never knew that there was such a thing in this council hall, and it was the first time they saw such a scene.

The few remaining elders immediately returned to their stools.

Suddenly, when everyone didn't expect it in time, the ground around the round table cracked, and those who couldn't react fell down one after another. Although the guardian knights of the Presbyterian Church had already stood in place, they were all dragged down by the panicked people.The corpses that had just fainted and died fell down one after another, and a few unlucky guys were even knocked out of chairs and equipment and fainted with blood.

The scene was extremely flustered for a moment.

Under the meeting hall, a circular ancient sacrificial place gradually emerged.The surrounding walls are engraved with complex and age-inspired carvings. What is surprising is that the snake-shaped oil lamps lit on the walls actually illuminate the snake's head vividly, which makes people chill when they see it.There is an altar in the center, but a huge pillar stands in the center of the altar, and the top of the pillar is the big round table of the conference hall!And the clan emblem that just moved slowly at the top of the conference hall actually formed a huge black poppy flower, which actually arched the central altar when viewed from below.

Allen, who had just been restrained by steel claws, was hanging from the pillar.

This tall and dark space is filled with a decaying atmosphere.

Because Alice was at an inconspicuous corner, she was pushed to the foot of the wall by the guard knights of the Presbyterian Church during the earthquake, but she didn't fall down.The butler held her tightly.Alice glanced around, except for a few guardian knights of the Presbyterian Church, the great elder Kress and the three elders standing at the round table in the conference hall.She glanced at it, and then looked at the big dark hole, she was really incomprehensible

People on both sides stood up one after another and stood vigilantly on both sides. No one paid attention to the people on the ground who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and just kept Aldrich and Max in the middle.Albert retreated silently into a corner where no one was paying attention.

"Kress, what do you want to do?" Aldrich could no longer maintain the mood just now, and at this moment a touch of fear welled up in his heart.

The Great Elder looked down at the people who were confronting him below with a look of indifference.

"Aldridge, our Max family has survived for 500 years. Although it has declined, we are still standing tall. Our background is not comparable to that of a rising family like your Sudi Wen family. The glory of our ancestors has been shining on the Max family. The descendants of you. Today, let you, the sinners and enemies of the Max family, sacrifice the blood of our ancestors."

The indifferent and bloodthirsty tone made everyone tremble.

Aldrich, who had experienced many years of ups and downs, felt more and more dangerous in his heart, and he immediately shouted: "Kress, I am the patriarch of the Sudiwen family, you are really sure to give up the friendship between our two families for many years, for Is the Max family more dangerous? If I die, the Sudiwen family will get rid of you even at the risk of extermination. When the time comes, the Max family may not exist! Are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure? Can you bear the anger of the Sudiwen family?"

If it were placed on other families, perhaps they would not receive such a fierce counterattack.But the Sudiwen family has always been a single lineage, and is known for its strong family cohesion. In addition, Aldridge has no siblings except a younger sister who can't take care of things.And he has no children underneath.If he died, the Sudiwen family would have no one to inherit, so naturally they would not let the Max family go.The patriarch of the Sudiwen family was once killed. The Sudiwen family used all their strength to wipe out a huge family.As a result, no one dared to provoke the Sudiwen family easily.And the Sudiwen family has always been low-key and does not cause trouble.That is why Aldrich dared to say such words.

However, Great Elder Kress was unmoved.

"The Max family has been silent for too long, and it's time to be born again."

"Great Elder, Great Elder, I was wrong, please let me down! I was really wrong." Allen screamed, his nose and tears covered his face in fear.The hard and cold touch on his back, like a swimming snake, made him tremble with fear.

Kress' cold words clearly reached his ears: "Alan, if you miss some opportunities, you miss them. This is the consequence of disobeying the elders! I will use your blood to pay homage to the souls of the dead elders."

Probably Allen didn't know what he could get by joining the Presbyterian Church!The elders of the Presbyterian Church are all descendants of ancient blood, and it is an exception for Alan to join the Presbyterian Church, but unfortunately, he can't see through it.

The great elder Kress ignored the people below, and he looked at Alice without the indifference from before.He waved to Alice.

Several thick chains stretched out to Alice's feet, and Alice stepped on them without hesitation.

The chain was dangling in the air, and it would fall if one was not careful. Alice didn't show any expression of fear.

Kress nodded enthusiastically, as expected of the person he was looking for, if he couldn't even overcome this little fear, how could he safely hand over the family to her in the future.

He stretched out his hand and took Alice's hand and walked to the head of the patriarch, put his hands on the table and pushed it skillfully, and the small round altar slowly rose.A black poppy flower is wrapped in various intricate symbols.

"This is a small altar used by the new patriarch when he took office. Today, in a hurry, we can only hold some simple ceremonies. Please drip blood on the altar."

Ellie put her ring finger on the small hole in the center of the poppy without any hesitation, only feeling a pain in her finger, like being bitten by something.The blood gushed out, splashed on the small hole, and disappeared in an instant, as if being sucked away by something.

Kress's final chanting of ancient unknown mantra prayers.

Only then did Alice feel a little weird.No, when the coat of arms on the ceiling started to turn, the whole thing became more and more different and weird!
This little poppy flower also started to turn, its petals began to shrink, and finally stretched out a pure white flower, with a ring in the middle.

Alice stretched out her hand to pick up the ring and looked at it. The square ring with poppies was simple and majestic, but it was just right on her thumb.

Only then did Alice notice a thick book next to the small altar.Very heavy, as if carved on a table.

Kress and the elders behind him saluted Alice respectfully.

"Alice Max, starting today you will be the No. 20 seven patriarchs of the Max family, the patriarchs who are truly recognized by the ancestors."

Alice thought that today's succession might not be smooth. With so many twists and turns, things have been out of her control. Fortunately, the ending is not too biased.Looking at the ring on his hand, it was a surprise.

The voice from above was clearly transmitted to the bottom of the altar.

"What! What is that! What is the patriarch recognized by the ancestors? Kress, why do I know nothing about all this! Kress, it turns out that you didn't pay attention to me from the beginning!" Alan simply Going mad.

The great elder Kress ignored him.In the eyes of the Presbyterian Church, Allen was only a temporary patriarch during the transition period of the family. How could he become the patriarch of the family with his qualifications? The ancestors would not recognize it.

Max and Albert didn't take it seriously in their hearts. After all, they hadn't received the education of this ancient ritual, so naturally they didn't take this matter to heart.As long as Alice was killed and the ring was taken back, the position of patriarch would naturally be his own.

Albert glanced at his butler, who nodded, and he was relieved.He raised his hand and compared the pistol style to the top.He looked indifferent and pressed his thumb down.

There was only a "boom" sound, and there were several "bang bang bang" sounds. Kress, who was still saying something in Alice's ear just now, had blood dripping from several places on his body.

There was inconceivability in his eyes, and he couldn't understand what the situation was now.

He subconsciously protected Alice, and turned to look behind him.

The strong light penetrated in, making people dizzy and unable to open their eyes.The steel door of the meeting hall was neatly cut out into several square doors, and the dust was flying, and a group of fully armed figures in camouflage uniforms appeared. They bowed slightly and raised their submachine guns. A few people in the center.The few remaining elders fell in a pool of blood.

"Who, who is it!" Kress' eyes were red.
