Change the Rowe surname to Ma.
An Ancient Martial Clan, borrowing another Ancient Martial Clan’s strength, is about to reclaim its former glory!
This event is destined to become a topic of conversation.
House Rowe is doomed to be nailed to the pillar of shame!
"Congratulations, Old Patriarch Ma."
Xavier Liu smiled at him, then glanced at the area belonging to House Rowe.
The House Rowe section, which used to be crowded, now had barely twenty people left, scattered and sparse.
In contrast, Old Patriarch Ma, who previously stood alone, now had a crowd behind him.
After crossing over from House Rowe to the Ma side, they swept away their previous gloom.
Now, with Old Patriarch Ma as a true Heavenly Phenomenon Realm clan head, even their posture had straightened with pride.
"Patriarch Rowe, the tide has turned. It's just a surname—why not change yours as well?"
Xavier Liu beamed, looking at Patriarch Rowe standing there.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Patriarch Rowe.
For the first time in all his years, Patriarch Rowe felt what true, utter despair was.
In terms of strength, he had been completely and forcefully crushed.
From this perspective, there was simply no dignity left at all.
"I, Rowe, have lived this life with a clear conscience."
Patriarch Rowe took a deep breath and looked at the juniors seated in the House Rowe area: "It’s me, Rowe, who has let you down!"
"It’s my own incompetence, my failure to comprehend the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, that has brought you here to suffer humiliation with me!"
"I have shamed the ancestors of House Rowe!"
The Rowe Patriarch’s voice was mournful, humiliation etched across his face.
"Patriarch!"
Hearing this, someone suddenly shot to their feet, eyes blazing red with emotion.
Today, if you don’t change your surname, I’m afraid you won’t make it out alive.
The Rowe Patriarch drew a deep breath: "If only I die, it will be enough."
If the Rowe ancestors blame anyone in the Yellow Springs, let them blame me alone!
Now, as the Patriarch of House Rowe, I order you: come and go as you please!
His words echoed through the hall.
A hush fell over the crowd.
Even those from other clans who’d looked at the Rowe Patriarch with nothing but contempt now felt their hearts tighten.
The Rowe Patriarch stood alone before everyone.
It was as if the world had abandoned him.
As Patriarch, he’d devoted his life to cultivation, just to bring honor and stability to House Rowe—what had he done wrong?
Now, the Rowe family’s dignity was utterly lost.
As Patriarch, he couldn’t turn the tide; he’d brought nothing but shame!
"Patriarch!"
"I swear to live and die with the Patriarch!"
"Even if I die, I’ll never change my surname! My father is a Rowe, and Rowe blood runs through my veins!"
In that moment, several Rowe juniors stood up, necks stiff, shouting at the top of their lungs.
Hot-blooded youth!
