Talisman Emperor
Chapter 2008 Fine Disputes
A descendant of Chen Lingjun?
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became silent. All the descendants of the Chen Clan opened their eyes wide and seemed to be filled with disbelief.
Other than Chen Xi's three-man group, there was only one person who had maintained his composure, and that was Chen Lingkong. However, he still could not avoid frowning when he heard Tang Xian expose Chen Xi's identity. He was a little unhappy, but in the end he held back.
At this point, Tang Xian stopped talking and also made no effort for anything. He seemed to be convinced that Chen Lingkong would not dare to refuse.
After a while, Wu Xuechan was the first to break the silence, and he said, “Daoist Press, what do you think of Junior Brother Tang Xian's suggestion?”
“No! Even if he was the descendant of that villain, Chen Lingjun, he did not have the qualifications to participate in the competition to become the successor of the clan! ” The extremely handsome young man from before was unable to contain himself before Chen Lingkong could even speak, and he stood up and spoke angrily.
His name was Chen Ziyu. He was a rather formidable figure within the Chen Clan, and he himself was a Fifth Star Region God.
An existence like him could already be considered a mid-level figure in the Chen Clan. Moreover, it was because of the extraordinary natural talent he possessed; his true status was even more important than some high-level figures.
“Brother Ziyu is right, what qualifications should the son of a criminal have to participate in the competition?”
“I remember that villain, Chen Lingjun, reincarnated long ago, so this descendant of his was naturally obtained after he reincarnated. Thus, it is absolutely impossible for our Chen Clan bloodline to flow through his veins. But this kind of person wants the position of successor of our Chen Clan? So absurd! ”
“We will not accept this!”
“Let him participate? It was just like an insult to our Dao Dao Protective Clan! “
When they saw Chen Ziyu speaking furiously, the other Chen Clan clans could not sit still and talk in succession.
Although they did not dare to directly criticize Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian, they did not hold back when they spoke of Chen Xi, and their words were filled with rejection and humiliation.
Chen Xi witnessed all of this and could not help but laugh coldly in her heart. These people who call themselves Innate Gods really think that I would covet the position of his successor?
Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian immediately frowned when they saw the situation in the hall becoming messy, and they looked at Chen Lingkong.
With their identities, they naturally could not be bothered to make a fuss about it with the Chen Clan descendants making a fuss.
Chen Lingkong did not dare to maintain his silence when he saw the gazes of Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian, and his face instantly fell as he shouted loudly. “You all shut up! What do other people think of you for causing a commotion in front of distinguished guests? “
In an instant, Chen Ziyu and the others immediately closed their mouths and took their seats. However, they still had dissatisfied expressions on their faces, and their gazes towards Chen Xi were filled with hostility.
It was like a stranger who had suddenly entered their territory with the intention of taking control of it. It caused them to be bound by mutual hatred and try to oppose this outsider.
Chen Xi immediately ignored all of that. He couldn't be bothered to take issue with these people. If not for the sake of saving his parents, he would not even have taken a step here.
“Sial, Fellow Daoist. Actually, you should realize that he is the son of my elder brother, Chen Lingjun, who obtained after he reincarnated, so Chen Xi is not blood related to my Chen Clan at all. So, it was obviously unreasonable to allow him to participate. I'm afraid my entire clan will find it hard to agree to it. ” Chen Lingkong sighed and spoke as if he was troubled.
Wu Xuechan smirked and said, “I understand. However, if it was according to what Fellow Daoist had said, then Chen Lingjun was not Chen Lingjun from the Chen Clan. Because it's like that, then why do you consider him a criminal and imprison him for no reason? “
These words immediately touched the core of the matter, and that was what Chen Xi wanted to say the most. Exactly, since there is no relation to blood, then on what basis are you captured by the parents?
However, Chen Lingkong seemed to suspect that Wu Xuechan would say this, and he revealed a slightly helpless expression and sighed. “Grand Lord, not the same. My elder brother has recovered his memories from his previous life, and this means he has knowledge of all my Chen Clan legacies and secrets. So, we have no choice but to do all that. If not for that, how could I, his younger brother, imprison him? “
Such an answer was clearly unable to satisfy Chen Xi. However, Wu Xuechan suddenly stood up before Chen Xi could speak.
Wu Xuechan had an extremely cold and indifferent expression as he said, “If it is based on these facts, then Chen Lingjun is the father of my Little Junior Sister, he said, but your Chen Clan has imprisoned him because of some Karma from the past. Aren't you too far away !? ”
These words caused Chen Lingkong's expression to slightly change, and he hesitated to speak.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense due to Wu Xuechan's change in attitude, and it was filled with a confrontational aura.
Right at this moment, Tang Xian stood up as well, and her originally cold expression was covered by indifference. He said coldly, “Daoist Dean, you probably found out that we did not come here at this time to seize the position of successor of your Chen Clan. As long as you agree to hand Chen Lingjun and his wife over to us, then we will be very grateful. Otherwise, it wouldn't be the Mount Oracle who wouldn't let this go, I believe that even my Tang Clan would be the same! “
His voice was flat and calm, yet vaguely carried a threatening tone.
Only figures like Tang Xian and Wu Xuechan dared to utter such words in the territory of one of the Divine Dao Protective Clans, the Chen Clan. If it was someone else, it would be no different at all than seeking death.
The atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly tense, and Chen Lingkong's expression grew grim.
If it was only Oracle Mountain, then Chen Lingkong would take the risk and summon the courage to fight Oracle Mountain. However, Chen Lingkong had no choice but to tread carefully when the Tang Clan was entered.
“Good.” Wu Xuechan smiled and pointed out that Tang Xian should sit down with him.
“I'm thinking for a moment now, and I'm afraid it's impossible to let my brother go now.” Chen Lingkong pondered deeply for a moment before he spoke carefully. However, I temporarily agreed to allow Chen Xi to participate in the Ancestral Worship Ceremony. “
Once he finished speaking, Chen Ziyu and the others immediately frowned and felt annoyed. They felt that Chen Lingkong was submissive to others, and that was an insult.
Wu Xuechan also looked a little surprised. He exchanged glances with Tang Xian before he nodded and said, “That's not bad.”
Chen Lingkong sighed in relief in his heart after hearing this. As far as he was concerned, Chen Xi was only the Fourth Star Region Master, so Chen Xi would not be able to do anything even if he was allowed to participate in the Ancestral Worship Ceremony. In the end, Chen Xi had no choice but to return empty-handed.
Wu Xuechan glanced at Chen Lingkong, and he smiled as he said, “However, there are things I should say clearly. If my Little Junior Brother can obtain the final victory in the competition, then you cannot go back on your words. “
When they heard this, all the Chen Clan clans including Chen Lingkong himself were stunned.
Because obtaining the final victory meant that Chen Xi would become the successor of the Chen Clan. Is that possible?
Obviously, it's not!
Chen Xi was merely a Fourth Star Region God. So, even if he was a disciple of Oracle Mountain, how much power would he be?
Perhaps they didn't even know exactly how terrifying the participants of the Ancestral Worship Ceremony were?
At this moment, Chen Ziyu and the others had slightly expressed ridicule. How ridiculous! Really laughable! “Haha! It seems like the Grand Lord is very confident with your little brother. ” Chen Lingkong laughed while talking.
“Of course. It is best not to talk about a few things before they happen, and the end result is decided. ” Wu Xuechan nodded seriously.
Chen Lingkong's eyelids couldn't help but twitch when he heard this, and then he frowned and pondered for a long time before he said, “Big Master, I think, while Chen Xi can participate in the Ancestral Worship Ceremony, if that really happens, then I fear the position of his successor …. “
He had not finished speaking when he was interrupted by Tang Xian. “Daoist colleagues, what do you really want to say?”
His tone was a little impatient.
When has Chen Lingkong ever been bullied? He couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, but he still laughed bitterly and said, “Daoist colleagues ...”
Tang Xian interrupted him again and said, “Too many reasons will make you seem so insincere. Fellow Daoists won't think of sweeping us, right? “
Chen Lingkong hurriedly waved his hand and said, “How could I dare to do that.”
Meanwhile, Wu Xuechan suddenly suggested. “How about we do this? If my Little Junior Brother snatches his replacement position in the end, then I will ask him to surrender. However, Fellow Daoist should agree to let Chen Lingjun and his wife go. “
Chen Lingkong's eyes suddenly narrowed. At this moment, he finally reached an understanding. It turned out that Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian's real motive was still to save Chen Lingjun and Chen Lingjun's wife!
At this moment, Chen Xi and even the other descendants of the Chen Clan had shot their gazes towards Chen Lingkong.
After a long time, Chen Lingkong sighed and said, “Alright. I will give face-to-face to Fellow Daoists and agree to that! “
When they heard this, regardless of whether it was Wu Xuechan, Tang Xian, or Chen Xi, they all heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts since their operation had already partially succeeded, he said, and the start of this mission wasn't bad at all.
After all, they were facing the Chen Clan who had incredible resources and reserves. If they really forced the Chen Clan into a corner, then it would easily lead to conflict and resistance instead.
“However, I must remind all of you that if Chen Xi cannot achieve that, then do not mention anything about my brother in the future.” Chen Lingkong took a deep breath and spoke solemnly. This can be considered a warning.
Wu Xuechan nodded with a smile on his face. “Of course.”
At this point, the problem can be considered to have been resolved.
At this moment, Chen Ziyu could not help himself anymore. He stood up, looked at Chen Xi with a cold gaze that shot out like a bolt of lightning, and then said in a loud and clear voice. “The confidence that the seniors showed towards Daoist Fellow Chen Xi really stirs curiosity in our hearts. How about we take advantage of this opportunity and allow me to argue with him? If he cannot even defeat me, then I think there is no need for him to participate in the Ancestral Worship Ceremony! “
His voice echoed through the hall, and it was filled with a provoking tone.
