Talisman Emperor
Chapter 1810 – Reasons
As soon as the black-clothed middle-aged man left, Shentu Yanran immediately stopped hiding his emotions, and he revealed a hint of anger.
Chen Xi noticed all of this, and she couldn't help but ask. “What? Do they dare to use force if you are unwilling to join the Divine Institute? “
Shentu Yanran shook his head and said, “This matter is not as simple as you think. If only joining the Divine Institute to cultivate, then I would not refuse like this. But the purpose of the Divine Institute was not so simple. “
“Oh?” Chen Xi's eyebrows shot up. “What do you mean?”
“To put it simply, the Divine Institute intends to take this opportunity to bring my Shentu Clan to his side and become his subordinate.” Shentu Yanran ordered his thoughts and said slowly, “In other words, if I really join the Divine Institute, then while it seems insignificant, in the eyes of the outside world, it is, that means my Shentu Clan has joined Divine. Sisi institute. “
Only now did Chen Xi reach an understanding, and he could not help but frown. “Then what do the great figures of your Shentu Clan think about this issue?”
Shentu Yanran laughed coldly and said, “They? They certainly hope for nothing more than partnering with the Divine Institute. After all, the Divine Institute was one of the five extreme Imperial Regions, and they were naturally happy to see the Divine Institute become the support of the clan. “
Chen Xi was stunned. “If based on consideration for clan benefits, then doing this does not seem bad.”
Shentu Yanran glared at him and said, “Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to know? Among the five extremes of the Imperial Region, if in terms of being the most merciless and ruthless, then of course the Sovereign Sect that appeared above. However, the Divine Institute was not much inferior when compared to the Sovereign Sect, so partnering with them was undoubtedly like acting as a tiger claw. “
He paused for a moment and continued. “Of course, this is my own opinion, and everyone has their own opinion on whether the Divine Institute is good or bad. For example, the relationship of your Mount Oracle with the Sovereign Sect and the Divine Institute is extremely strained, and they are like irreconcilable enemies with your Mountain Range. “
When he finished speaking, he could not help but laugh. He found it very strange to describe things about the Oracle Mountain to a Mount Oracle disciple.
However, Chen Xi did not laugh because she really did not know about all of this in the past.
When he thought about how the Mount Oracle was not only an enemy with the Sovereign Sect and even like fire and water with the Divine Institute, other than feeling shocked, he said, Chen Xi could not help but immediately draw a line between him and the Divine Institute in his heart.
As a personal disciple of Oracle Mountain, he would naturally not hesitate to choose to see things from the point of view of Oracle Mountain, and this was an unquestionable fact.
“What do you want to do?” Chen Xi could not help but ask this question.
“I?” Shentu Yanran sighed, and then he revealed a wisp of stern expression. “They can join the Divine Institute if they want, but if they want me to join the Divine Institute, then I would absolutely not agree.”
Chen Xi nodded. He very clearly realized that this matter was too significant. It was cooperation between the two powers, but Shentu Yanran did not carry much burden in the clan, so he was completely unable to change all of this according to his own wishes.
“Will your father approve this decision?” ask Chen Xi.
This was the problem that caused Shentu Yanran to become depressed, and he could not help but breath when he heard Chen Xi's question. “I only have to improvise when the situation is open.”
As he spoke, he took a deep breath, and then he smiled as he turned to look at Chen Xi. He said, “However, all of this is a trivial matter. Come on, let's go to Clan Hall to see my father and finish what you came here first. “
Is this a trivial matter? Chen Xi glanced at him and did not say anything.
…
The Clan Hall of Shentu.
When Chen Xi arrived here under the lead of Shentu Yanran, he noticed that many figures had already gathered in the vast and majestic ancient hall.
A purple-clothed middle-aged man sat in the middle seat of the head. He had a handsome and dignified expression, a glare as sharp and brilliant as a bolt of lightning, and as he sat there leisurely, he looked like an imposing master who exuded an oppressive aura.
Clearly, he was the Patriarch of the Shentu Clan, Shentu Qingyuan, a somewhat famous Imperial King even in the entire Imperial Region!
Although Chen Xi had never met Shentu Qingyuan in the past, she had received Ye Yan's guidance before she came to the Shentu Clan, so he was clearly aware that this Patriarch of the Shentu Clan had cultivation in the Eighth Star of the Empire's Royal Region. Moreover, Shentu Qingyuan had a tenacious will and extraordinary ability, and she could not be underestimated at all.
Several men and women of all ages sat under Shentu Qingyuan. They all had great and terrifying auras, and they were actually King Kingdoms!
Other than them, there were quite a few figures standing by the side of the hall, and there was no shortage of the experts of the Enlightened Realm God Realm in the Universe among them.
This was the ability of a top-tier power in the Imperial Region. In any other region, it seemed very difficult to meet even a single Imperial King, but such figures were often seen in top-tier powers like the Shentu Clan.
Even if it was Chen Xi, he could not help but be a little surprised when he witnessed this scene, and he finally understood just how terrifying this high-level powerhouse was in the Imperial Region.
The atmosphere in the hall was very relaxed, and there was even a large amount of conversational sounds coming from the hall when Chen Xi and Shentu Yanran arrived.
However, when they saw Chen Xi accompanying Shentu Yanran appear in front of the entrance of the hall, this kind of bustling atmosphere instantly eased, and everyone's gazes darted in succession.
Unfortunately, Chen Xi's current appearance and aura were mediocre, so it didn't attract much attention, and the gaze only swept over him for a moment before they were withdrawn.
“Yanran, you have arrived.” A warm voice echoed, and it was the Patriarch of the Shentu Clan, Shentu Qingyuan, who spoke.
“Yanran, glad you're here. The Divine Institute envoy will be here any minute. Are you ready? ” The person who spoke sat under Shentu Qingyuan. He had a thin appearance, sunken cheekbones, and a pair of eyes that were cold and ferocious like an eagle.
“This is my father's older brother, Shentu Mingda, and he's Shentu Xing's father. The two of them constantly urged the clan to join the Divine institution, and for the sake of achieving their goals, they expected nothing more than to send me to the Divine Institute as soon as possible. ” Shentu Yanran couldn't help but slightly wrinkle up from being bullied by Shentu Mingda, and he quickly sent Chen Xi's voice transmission while his voice carried a faint displeasure.
The most unpleasant thing for him was that he had obviously brought Chen Xi along. However, from beginning to end, no one noticed Chen Xi, and even to the extent that they directly ignored her existence. This caused him to be unable to help but feel a little embarrassed.
“Does Uncle still not know about my thoughts on this issue?” After he spoke nonchalantly like this, Shentu Yanran led Chen Xi to sit in an empty space at the side. After which, he sent a voice transmission to Chen Xi. “Do not reach wholeheartedly. The people in the hall have put all their attention on cooperation with the Divine Institute, and that has caused them to slightly ignore you. ”
“It's okay.” Chen Xi smiled. He changed his appearance when he came, and it was more pleasant for him if he did not need to open his identity.
As for that look of abandonment, he did not take it seriously at all.
When he heard Shentu Yanran, Shentu Mingda's face slightly froze, and then covered her precious state as she chuckled. “You little girl. Already at a time like this, yet you are still so stubborn. “
He paused for a moment, and then his expression became solemn as he said in a low voice. “But unlike how in the past, Divine Institute envoys have arrived in our clan, so you cannot continue to act as you please.”
“Oh?” Shentu Yanran replied attentively, and he seemed to be unable to be bothered to talk to Shentu Mingda, causing the latter's expression to sink slightly and feel embarrassed.
“That's enough, it won't be too late to discuss this issue later.” When Shentu Qingyuan who was sitting on the head seat witnessed all of this, and she immediately spoke up to hold them back.
“Fourth Sister, already at a time like this. If we still haven't confirmed the problem, then it might be troublesome when the Divine Institute envoy arrives. ” Shentu Mingda frowned as she spoke.
Although Shentu Qingyuan was the Patriarch, in terms of seniority, he was the fourth brother in age, so Shentu Mingda called him ‘Fourth Brother’.
“Kakak, such a significant issue is related to the interests of the entire Shentu Clan, and it is not something that can be decided in a short period of time. Don't worry because whether we will be able to join the Divine Institute is still unknown. ” Before Shentu Qingyuan could speak, a rude and heroic voice sounded, and it caused Shentu Mingda's face to immediately sink down.
Chen Xi raised her eyes to look up, and she instantly recognized the person speaking. This person had a tall and mighty figure like a mountain and pitch-black eyebrows. Surprisingly, it was Shentu Bao!
Years ago when they returned to the shore of the Ocean of the God Burial from the Desolate Manku Ruins, it was he who came to receive Shentu Yanran.
If Chen Xi did not remember wrongly, then Shentu Bao was Shentu Yanran's third uncle, and he was somewhat doting on her.
“Third Brother, joining the Divine Institute will only be beneficial to our clan. If we don't take such an opportunity, then we won't have another chance in the future. ” Shentu Mingda took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “You slightly ignored the overall situation by constantly rejecting this matter, and you are playing with the interests of the clan!”
These words carried a scolding tone, and it caused the atmosphere in the hall to become a little tense.
At this moment, Chen Xi noticed that the entire top brass of the Shentu Clan did not have the same opinion when it came to partnerships with the Divine Institute.
For example, Shentu Mingda represented a power in the Shentu Clan that advocated joining forces with the Divine Institute, while Shentu Bao represented a power that opposed it.
As for the Patriarch, Shentu Qingyuan, based on his current attitude, his opinion was somewhat difficult to ascertain.
Shentu Bao glared at Shentu Mingda, and he was just about to say something.
“Good. I know that you all have clan interests in mind, so stop arguing. ” Shentu Qingyuan suddenly roared with laughter and waved her hand as she spoke.
“Then what does Fourth Brother think about this issue?” shentu Mingda asked in a low voice.
Shentu Bao shot his sight as well.
“It will not be too late to make a decision after the Divine Institute envoy arrives and we have a proper discussion with him.” Shentu Qingyuan spoke indifferently.
As he spoke to here, he suddenly picked up the jade slip and sighed with emotion. “This is the news I just got, and the content can be said to shock the world. If this information were to spread throughout the entire Imperial Region, then the calm situation in the Imperial Region that had formed over the years in the past would probably be ruined! ”
When they heard Shentu Qingyuan instantly changed the topic and avoided the current topic which was cooperation between their clan and the Divine Institute, no matter if it was Shentu Mingda or Shentu Bao, both of them could not help but feel a little helpless.
Until now, they were still unable to know exactly what kind of attitude their fourth brother had towards cooperation with the Divine Institute.
But no matter what, Shentu Qingyuan's words had managed to attract curiosity in the hearts of everyone present here.
Surprise world?
Destroy the calm in the Imperial Region?
What exactly is this news?
