Talisman Emperor
Chapter 2012 Brothers Against Each Other
The interior of Conscience Hall seemed ordinary, but many pockets of space had actually been built here with the highest techniques.
Each pocket of space was like a small world that was isolated from the outside word, and one would not be able to see anything that happened in the outside world after being locked up inside it.
Inside one of the pockets of space.
Clangs! Clangs!
Wind and snow enveloped his surroundings while waves of clear and soft music from the zither floated into the air.
Zuoqiu Xue sat under an ancient and majestic tree with a zither placed in front of him. Her beautiful hands lightly retracted the strings of the zither while she maintained a calm and calm appearance, and her movements were smooth like flowing water.
Chen Lingjun sat on the ground at the side while listening to the zither tone, and he stared blankly at her in silence.
Snow fluttered in the air while the husband and wife enjoyed the rhythm of the zither under the ancient tree, and the rhythmic rhythm that carried otherworldly and distant emotions curled up into the air and echoed around him.
But within a short period of time, this scene was shattered by a wave of boisterous applause.
“Enjoying zither under the snow, how carefree and unrestrained! Brother, Sister-in-law, what interest do you have! ” A human being walks across the snow from afar while clapping and praising. Surprisingly, it was Chen Lingkong.
Clangs!
Zuoqiu Que pressed down on the zither string, and his tone instantly disappeared.
Chen Lingkong who was staring blankly at him shook his head with a helpless expression on his face, and then he said to him, “I have no mood to enjoy it. Let's do it again later. “
Zuoqiu Xue nodded and said, “Alright.”
From start to finish, the two had not paid any attention to Chen Lingkong.
However, Chen Lingkong did not care at all. He simply walked up to the ancient tree and sat down in front of Chen Lingkong before he said, “I'm sorry for bothering you both.”
Chen Lingkong glanced at him indifferently and said, “If you are sorry, then you should not have come and made us unhappy.”
Chen Lingkong laughed out loud and said, “It looks like Big Brother is still harboring bad feelings for me.”
After which, he sighed and said, “Unfortunately, I have no choice but to come here this time.”
“Oh?” Zuoqiu Xue and Chen Lingjun exchanged glances, and they seemed to be thinking hard.
The atmosphere here had actually become a little quiet, and only the snow that filled the sky was still fluttering while the whistle of the cold wind resounded.
Chen Lingkong was still the first to break the silence, and he said, “Sister Elder is right, someone really intends to save the two of you from our clan.”
Zuoqiu Xue and Chen Lingjun could not help but exchange views after hearing this, and a streak of bright light flashed across their hearts.
Just this scene alone clearly showed that the two of them did not need to speak at all before they could understand each other and guess what each other was thinking.
However, they still did not speak a single world.
Chen Lingkong could not help but frown because of this. After a while, he suddenly started laughing before saying, “I know that imprisoning the two of you here for so many years doesn't just make you hate me, it just makes you, but haven't the two of you thought about the reason why I imprisoned you here? “
“You are my brother and sister-in-law. How could I possibly turn against my own brother unless I had no other choice?
“That's a problem if Big Brother, you were too presumptuous years ago! You actually did not hesitate to take the clan's precious treasures away to reach the Main Road towards the Dao. Could it be that you are completely unaware of your mistakes after so many years have passed? “
As he finished speaking, Chen Lingkong's voice carried a hint of anger and emotion. It seemed like he was extremely depressed and could not let go of the sadness and anger he felt.
On the other hand, the expressions of Chen Lingjun and Zuoqiu Xue remained unchanged from the start, and their faces were extremely calm as if they had not heard him at all.
After a long time, Chen Lingjun raised his eyes to look at Chen Lingkong as he said, “You have mistaken many things. Firstly, the precious treasure that I brought with him many years ago was something that I obtained myself, and it was not the legacy of the sect. Secondly, there is no longer any connection between me and the Chen Clan. So don't call me brother anymore. I, Chen Lingjun, do not have a younger brother like you! “
Chen Lingkong could not help but laugh coldly when he heard this. “Sister, do you still intend to draw a line between us? No way! Your memories carry a brand of your past life, and have all the legacy of the Chen Clan. So on what basis do you say that there is no relationship between you and the Chen Clan? “
Chen Lingjun frowned. In the end, he did not say anything because they had been arguing about this for many years, so there was no point in continuing the topic.
“Come, tell us why you came here.” Zuoqiu Xue who had been watching coldly from the side until now suddenly spoke, and her voice was cold and indifferent. “Please go if you intend to keep convoluted. We don't have time to listen to your nonsense. “
He spoke without restraint at all.
Chen Lingkong's eyelids twitched without being seen. After a while, he said, “This is very simple, I want to trade with you two.”
“Continue.” Zuoqiu Xue lightly spat out two words.
Xi’er! It really is him!
When they heard that someone had come to save them, both Chen Lingjun and Zuoqiu Xue faintly guessed that it was Chen Xi. However, when they obtained that confirmation, they still could not help but be shocked and filled with complicated emotions. They feel gratitude but even stronger feelings of guilt.
As parents, they cannot take care of their children because their children are young. Now, they even needed their son to come and save them, so how could they not feel guilty?
“Not only that, the little boy was not someone brave but stupid. I was relieved at the strength of Oracle Mountain and the Tang Clan when he came here this time, he said, and he made me have no choice but to make concessions and allow him to participate in the competition for the next clan successor that will be held soon. ” At this moment, Chen Lingkong looked very honest and did not hide anything.
Both Chen Lingjun and Zuoqiu Xue could not help but feel shocked when they heard this, and they seemed to be thinking hard and not expressing any happiness.
Because they were very clearly aware that Chen Lingkong would definitely not take defeat for granted.
Sure enough, Chen Lingkong continued in the next moment. “However, unfortunately, no matter how ready he is at the moment, it will definitely end in failure.”
“Why do you say that?” chen Lingjun said with a frown on his face.
“Sister, don't forget that our Chen Clan is a Dao Dao Protective Clan that has many experts. Even though your son is amazing, but do you think he can seize the position of succession by cultivating in the Fourth Star Region Realm God? ” When he spoke here, Chen Lingkong had a wisp of contempt at the corner of his mouth. “He has no Innate God ability nor does he have my Chen Clan bloodline. Such a small person was not worth mentioning at all! “
“Because of that, then why did you come here?” Zuoqiu Xue spoke coldly as anyone would probably get angry when hearing others speak ill of their child.
“I told you, I came to do a trade.” Chen Lingkong sighed and said, “This matter has long been postponed. So, isn't it time we finished it? “
Zuoqiu Xue looked for answers. “What kind of trade?”
Chen Lingkong suddenly straightened his figure, and his imposing aura was oppressive and haughty as he said in a low voice, “This is very simple. Hand over the precious treasure and I'll let you two go. I'll allow your family to be reunited. Okay?”
“What if we disagree?” said Chen Lingjun.
Chen Lingkong did not seem to expect that Chen Lingjun would still reveal such an attitude after he gave his sincere condition, so he could not help but frown when he said, “If you disagree? If it really is like that, then it might not be possible to save the two of you even if Oracle Mountain and the Tang Clan suppress our Chen Clan! “
He paused for a moment, and then a cold wisp appeared in his eyes. “Don't forget that your fate is still in my hands. This is something that nothing can change! “
“I understand now.” Chen Lingjun had a calm expression. “You can go. I will not agree to this provision. “
Chen Lingkong's face sank. “Are you not worried that your child will have an accident?”
“Do not dare!” Zuoqiu Xue's clear eyes turned ice-cold, and she was completely enraged by these words. Perhaps he could ignore the fate of others, but how could he ignore the fate of his own blood and flesh?
“Ha ha ha! Whynot? ” Chen Lingkong laughed out loud, and his voice was ice-cold and terrible to the extreme. “Klan Chen would sooner or later fall into a complete setback without that precious treasure, and it was even to the point that it might be swallowed up by another clan. Because like that, then what else should I care about? “
His expression even carried a wisp of madness.
Chen Lingkong was a Daolord who possessed extraordinary abilities and monstrous authority. Now, however, he had actually said such words, so it wasn't an exaggeration at all.
“Go only.” Chen Lingkong did not reveal any emotions towards this, and he said indifferently, “Let's talk to me when you actually dare to act in that way. Maybe ... I'll take it seriously then. ”
“Hmph! Then we'll wait and see! ” Chen Lingkong stood up and left angrily, and his figure slowly disappeared amidst the snow covering the surroundings.
“Lingjun, what if ..” As soon as Chen Lingkong left, the wisp of worry could not help but crawl into Zuoqiu Xue's face.
“Do not worry. I know Chen Lingkong. He had finally gained authority over the entire Chen Clan with great difficulty, so how could he possibly do something that might destroy the entire Chen Clan as well. Don't forget that Xi didn't come here alone. ” Chen Lingjun's eyes were deep as he said in a light voice. “It doesn't matter if it's Mount Oracle or Tang Clan, they're both nothing that the Chen Clan currently dares to offend ..”.
Zuoqiu Xue thought for a moment, and then her knit brows subsided while she nodded. “Everything else is not important as long as Xi’er is fine.”
When he mentioned Chen Xi, a single smile could not help but appear at the corner of Chen Lingjun's mouth, and he sighed with emotion. “In my past life, my greatest pride is to lead the entire Chen Clan to occupy the Ninth Spirit World. But in this life, my greatest pride is to have you and two intelligent and obedient children. “
Zuoqiu Xue's expression became gentle as well, and she muttered. “Am I not the same?”
Chen Lingjun stood up and hugged Zuoqiu Xue before he said, “A’Xue, you should clearly realize that Xi has the River Diagram, so Oracle Mountain will absolutely not watch when something happens to him. So, you don't have to worry. I feel that it won't be long before our family will actually be reunited, and we won't have to be separated again …. “
Zuoqiu Xue lay in her arms while her face was filled with yearning.
…
Time passed by without feeling, and only 3 days remained before the Ancestral Chen Clan Worship Ceremony began.
It was also on this day that Chen Xi who was cultivating in meditation suddenly jolted awake by the boisterous sound.
He stood up quickly and walked out of the residence, and his face instantly became cold and indifferent as he watched the scene unfolding in the distance.
