Talisman Emperor
Chapter 1409 Shackles of Disaster
After Hua Jiankong left, Chen Xi immediately returned to the Sword Room.
Right now, I just need to consider my mother's safety. I wonder if this decision of mine will cause Zuoqiu Feng to ignore everything and start an internal conflict within the Zuoqiu Clan, chen Xi's heart was unable to calm down for a very long time.
He was very clearly aware that Zuoqiu Taiwu's conversation with him earlier clearly represented someone within the Zuoqiu Clan, and now he had made a pact with Zuoqiu Taiwu, who was a member of the Zuoqiu Clan, then that person would definitely make some sort of reaction to him.
In this way, it was inevitable that it would affect his mother, Zuoqiu Xue.
However, Chen Xi was equally well aware that since her mother could endure until now, then she would definitely not suffer misfortune so easily. As Zuoqiu Taiwu had said, the Zuoqiu Clan was currently divided into two factions. One faction was led by the current Patriarch, Zuoqiu Feng, and the other faction was led by his mother, Zuoqiu Xue.
The internal conflict between these two factions had arisen a long time ago even before Chen Xi was born, yet Zuoqiu Xue was still alive and well until now. As such, he definitely possessed enough strength to instill fear in Zuoqiu Feng's faction.
It seems like the time left is getting less and less. I must deal with all of this precisely before the internal conflict of the Zuoqiu Clan erupts completely. One month from now, he would visit Hua Jiankong and quickly return to the Mortal Dimension to make the right arrangements for his younger brother, Chen Hao, and all the other Chen Clan clans. Only this way would he be free from all worries towards his family even if he were to fight against the Zuoqiu Clan.
As for father ... Without any rhyme or reason, Chen Xi thought of his father, Chen Lingjun. Even until now, there was absolutely no news about his father, and he could not hold his breath because of this.
He felt that his current reputation had already spread throughout the Eternal Dimension by now. Under such circumstances, if his father, Chen Lingjun, was in the Eternal Dimension, then how could he not have come to the Dao Emperor Academy to meet Chen Xi?
Could it be that he had not been in the Eternal Dimension for much longer? Or maybe there's some other secret behind all this? In the end, Chen Xi shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
…
"Chen Xi is alive!" Within the majestic hall, Zuoqiu Sheng had a gloomy expression as he spoke while gritting his teeth. His voice seemed like it was squeezed through the gaps between his teeth, and it displayed extreme shock, confusion, and anger.
"What's going on? Have you seen Ancestor Taiwu? What explanation? ”Zuoqiu Hong's expression became grim when she heard this, and she asked while speaking quickly.
"The Taiwu Ancestor has ... already entered into closed door cultivation!" Zuoqiu Sheng had an angry expression as he said in a low voice, "This is enough to show that Ancestor Taiwu did not make the right choice that Ancestor Huanglin said he would make!"
"Damn it! Why is this happening? With Ancestor Taiwu's disposition, he really wouldn't let Chen Xi off so easily. Could something unexpected happen? "Zuoqiu Hong's heart was instantly muddled. He had been constantly waiting for these past few days, and he had been waiting for the news of Chen Xi's death to spread throughout the academy. Yet he never imagined that he would actually receive bad news instead!
“Not just that. I heard that when the Patriarch went to meet Zuoqiu Xue at the Immortal Iris Prison, he rejected the goodwill the Patriarch had given him. "Zuoqiu Sheng had a heavy expression while his eyes were flashing with a cold light. "This means that it doesn't matter whether it's Chen Xi or Zuoqiu Xue, they have decided to fight our Patriarch to the end!"
Zuoqiu Hong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice. "What should we do next?"
Zuoqiu Sheng said in an agitated tone. "What else can we do? Let's report this matter to the Patriarch first, and everything will be decided by the Patriarch. However, I guess ..the internal strife that has accumulated gradually over the past few years within the clan will erupt! "
Internal dispute! Zuoqiu Hong's students shriveled, and then he sighed. "Actually, we should have ignored everything and eliminated it years ago …"
Zuoqiu Sheng said in an angry tone. "Enough! Don't mention it from years ago! "
…
Iris Iris Prison.
Within the strange space at its depth were sumptuous mountains, crystal clear water, bamboo fences, and a hut.
As usual, Zuoqiu Xue was standing inside a small courtyard surrounded by a bamboo fence, which was, and he silently stared at the faint luxurious mountains in the distance while the space between his beautiful black eyebrows and ink was filled with a calm expression.
If Chen Xi was here, he would definitely notice that his expression when in deep contemplation was about 70% similar to his mother, Zuoqiu Xue. They are both calm and quiet.
"A, Xue." A hoarse and low voice sounded. Simultaneously with this voice, an old man dressed in linen clothes, barefooted, ordinary appearance, and a mountain-like stern expression emerged from thin air.
To his surprise, he was the senior of the Zuoqiu Clan, Zuoqiu Feiming!
Since Zuoqiu Xue was detained here, the faction represented by Zuoqiu Feiming had always been against the Patriarchal faction, Zuoqiu Feng.
In other words, Zuoqiu Feiming was roughly equivalent to Zuoqiu Huanglin in status. The latter supported Zuoqiu Feng while the one formed supported Zuoqiu Xue.
"Third Uncle, you're coming." Zuoqiu Xue turned around and smiled lightly. "It seems like the internal strife within the clan is on the verge of erupting."
Zuoqiu Feiming instead frowned. "You're right. Unfortunately, the time we had was too short. After erupting, then the power we have now will still be slightly weaker than them. "
Zuoqiu Xue smiled. "I heard Xi's performance in the last few years has been really good."
When Chen Xi was mentioned, a rare smile appeared at the corner of Zuoqiu Feiming's mouth, and he sighed with emotion. "Indeed. The reputation of the little boy currently in the Eternal Dimension was like the scorching sun in the midday sky, it was incomparable. "
Zuoqiu Feiming smiled and nodded. "I've come here this time to tell you that you don't have to worry about Xi's safety. Before I came here, I got word that the old man, Zuoqiu Taiwu, was not making a move against Xi'er. "
Zuoqiu Taiwu's? The clump of complicated expression could not help but cover the corner of Zuoqiu Xue's mouth when she heard this name, and it seemed like she hated and admired him. He said after such a long time, “Year-years ago, if not for him being uncertain, Zuoqiu Feng would have had to pay a heavier price to snatch the position of Patriarch, if not for him, and even to that extent it was impossible for Zuoqiu Feng to succeed. Unfortunately, all the hostility and conflict could not compare to the position of the Zuoqiu Clan in his heart. "
Zuoqiu Feiming said with a calm expression, "However, we must admit that it is precisely because of Taiwu that we can fight Zuoqiu Feng for all these years and avoid disastrous oppression."
Zuoqiu Xue nodded. “That's why I feel conflicted. Ancestor Huanglin's intention to use Ancestor Taiwu to kill Xi'er was indeed a cruel move, and I even I slightly underestimated her abilities. Fortunately, none of this happened. True, Ancestor Taiwu had been hesitating for so many years, so had he already made his attitude clear this time around? ”
Zuoqiu Feiming shook his head. “According to the information I obtained, Taiwu has entered closed door cultivation. Perhaps he is really disappointed with the current state of our clan. "
When he finished speaking, he sighed with a wisp of emotion.
Zuoqiu Huanglin, Zuoqiu Taiwu, and him were figures of the same generation, and they were able to control and influence most of the affairs within the Zuoqiu Clan. Unfortunately, the three of them took three different directions.
Zuoqiu Huanglin supported Zuoqiu Feng to become the Patriarch.
Zuoqiu Taiwu ignored all of this and chose to withdraw from the clan's internal conflicts, and he lived in seclusion within the Dao Emperor Academy.
On the other hand, he, Zuoqiu Feiming, supported Zuoqiu Xue, and he intended to help her reclaim everything she had lost all those years ago and fight against Zuoqiu Feng's faction.
Now, after so many years, this enmity was already on the verge of erupting, yet Zuoqiu Taiwu chose to go into closed-door cultivation. So Zuoqiu Feiming could not help but sigh with emotion. This was really similar to the scenery from years ago!
"Third Uncle, what about the old man in the clan who always sleeps?" Zuoqiu Xue suddenly asked.
Zuoqiu Feiming's expression instantly became solemn when he heard this, and he shook his head. “The situation is a little bad. I can no longer relate to Uncle Ancestor Beiyong. Thus, I suspect A'Feng and Huanglin have formed some sort of agreement with Ancestor Uncle Beiyong. "
Uncle Ancestor Beiyong!
Zuoqiu Feiming's superiority in the Zuoqiu Clan was already extremely high, yet he referred to Beiyong as his Ancestral Uncle, so how terrifying was Zuoqiu Beiyong's authority and status?
"Then what about that old lady who only knows how to cultivate?" Zuoqiu Xue also frowned, and then she asked as she spoke slowly.
“Lenghua Ancestor's aunt hasn't explained her position, and this is really worrying.” Zuoqiu Feiming sighed.
Ancestral Auntie!
Clearly, this was another existence that Zuoqiu Beiyong could compare with.
"Hmph! These old bastards acted like this many years ago, and they are doing the same thing now. If my Father had not been so kind-hearted all those years ago, just their actions at that time would have been enough to drive them out of the Zuoqiu Clan! "Zuoqiu Xue's eyes turned cold and revealed a lump of undisguised hatred. When he spoke here, he was suddenly stunned because he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyebrows shot up as he said, "Third Uncle, do you think they will …"
"I can't say for sure!" Before he could finish speaking, Zuoqiu Feiming frowned and spoke. Obviously, he had guessed it long ago. “One's death is like a light out. The rules that your father had set down over the years had been completely forgotten by them long ago. ”
Zuoqiu Xue took a deep breath and said, "It seems like we can only expect the worst."
Zuoqiu Feiming nodded. He was silent for a long time before he looked at Zuoqiu Xue worriedly and said, "A'Xue, has the Calamity Shackles strength not weakened yet?"
Zuoqiu Xue said, “Third Uncle, no need to worry. As long as I do not leave this place, the Shackles of Disaster cannot do anything to me. "When he spoke to here, he looked at him with a serious expression and said, "Third Uncle, is there any news about Lingjun? "
Zuoqiu Feiming shook his head.
Zuoqiu Xue was stunned when she saw this, and then she pursed her lips and said, "The Prehistoric Ruins have been destroyed, it is, then he would definitely not give up and had headed to the Outerealm in search of the Divine Fate Marking since only such a precious treasure was able to break the Shackles of Disaster open … "
Zuoqiu Feiming was extremely shocked in his heart. "Such a treasure really exists?"
Zuoqiu Xue shook her head. "I don't know. But I know Lingjun, and so long as there is a trace of hope, then he will definitely do that. ”When he finished speaking, his eyes sparkled while looking soft like water, and that familiar figure could not help but appear in his mind. .
"A Xiu, I have to go." After a while, Zuoqiu Feiming said goodbye.
“Third Uncle, the longer the impending conflict is postponed, the more profitable it is for us. Please try your best to achieve this. ”Zuoqiu Xue spoke quickly.
"I understand. A'Xue, you have to be careful as well. The situation is already in chaos, so you should not be careless .. "Zuoqiu Feiming nodded, and then his figure disappeared into thin air in the next moment.
"I will definitely survive ..." Zuoqiu Xue stood alone in the courtyard as she muttered in a light voice, and then her thoughts instantly drifted to years ago. She remembers her husband, her son …
