Talisman Emperor
Chapter 2014 Drawn Curtain
Chen Xiaoyun's figure shot out like a shadow, and quickly appeared in front of Chen Xi.
Om!
A purple light coiled up on his fingertips. While it seemed inconspicuous, it exuded a sharp howling and ear piercing as it pierced through the air, and it displayed a terrifying penetrating power.
As one of the three strongest masters among the Region Lords in the Chen Clan, Chen Xiaoyun's cultivation was in the Star God of the Seventh Region. Moreover, coupled with the innate ability he possessed as a member of the Divine Dao Protective Clan, his combat power was undeniably great.
It was clear that just this attack alone was enough to make most of the Region Lords in the outside world feel fear and fear to bear its burden!
“The fight will finally start ...” Two figures stood in the air very far away. A person was wearing simple clothes, had a handsome appearance, and exuded a clean, simple, and overwhelming aura.
The other person is a woman. She wore a fiery red dress, had sharp willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows like a knife, a pair of delicate and charming red lips, and a peerless beautiful face covered by the coldness and arrogance.
They were clearly witnessing all of this in secret, and a wisp of anticipation appeared on their originally calm faces when they saw Chen Xiaoyun charging ferociously.
If Chen Xiaoyun was here, he would definitely be able to realize with surprise that they were Chen Daoyuan and Chen Qiushui who were one of the three masters like him!
…
The situation was tense, and a battle erupted.
While facing Chen Xiaoyun's surprise attack, Chen Xi quickly turned to face Chen Xiaoyun as well.
However, to everyone's surprise, he actually did not move at all and showed no intention to block this attack at all. Even to the point that he had not tried to dodge.
He just stood there silently with a calm and indifferent expression, and his black eyes were as calm and serene as an ancient well. He looked like he was unaware of the arrival of danger at all.
Hm? Chen Xiaoyun's eyes narrowed as killing intent flashed within them. However, right at this critical moment, he surprisingly stopped abruptly and withdrew his attack as well.
At this moment, his finger which was covered in a purple light was less than 3 inches from Chen Xi's neck. Under such circumstances, he could easily exterminate Chen Xi as long as he was willing to do so!
However, he did not move at all!
This shocked and confused all the spectators, and they were unable to figure out exactly what was going on.
“Why don't you reply?” Chen Xiaoyun's expression was ice-cold as his narrow and long eyes stared at Chen Xi.
“Why didn't you attack?” Chen Xi replied with a question while her expression remained as calm as before.
Chen Xiaoyun was silent for a moment before she said coldly, “Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?”
Chen Xi suddenly smiled, and then she stretched out her hand to flick Chen Xiaoyun's finger like she was flicking smoke. Afterwards, he said, “You don't dare, right?”
Chen Xiaoyun's face sank as killing intent covered her eyes, and she seemed to be on the verge of being unable to contain herself.
However, Chen Xi looked completely indifferent, and she could not even be bothered to glance at Chen Xiaoyun. He turned around and walked to the flaming pillar, and then he destroyed the purple divine chain that bound Chen Hongxiu's body ….
During this entire process, Chen Xiaoyun constantly looked at him with a cold gaze. There were many times that Chen Xiaoyun wanted to take this opportunity to kill Chen Xi, but in the end he did not.
“If you want to find trouble with me again, then come straight to me. There is no need to threaten me with the life of your own clan. That's very shameless. ” After he saved Chen Hongxiu, Chen Xi turned to look at Chen Xiaoyun before she shook her head and sighed as she left.
In an instant, Chen Xiaoyun's expression turned even more indeterminate, and she stood still there while fixedly staring at Chen Xi.
Even when Chen Xi's figure had disappeared upwards, Chen Xiaoyun was still standing there while a cold light surged in her eyes. No one knows what he's thinking.
“Sister Xiaoyun, why did you let him go?” The other clans around him were charged with dissatisfied expressions. They were unable to understand Chen Xiaoyun's actions. Because it was clearly an incredible opportunity, so they wondered why he had stopped!
“You all won't understand.” Chen Xiaoyun suddenly sighed and seemed to be a little agitated. He flicked his sleeve and returned to the lotus violet platform before swiftly soaring into the sky and leaving.
“What...” The clans exchanged glances with each other. After a while, they still seemed somewhat frustrated and dissatisfied when they brought the unconscious strongman with them and left.
…
“That boy was pretty brave. He was sure Xiaoyun would not hurt him at this moment. ” Chen Daoyuan who was wearing ordinary clothes and standing in the distance spoke with a smile on his face. “Unfortunately, we can't watch the boy's ability.”
“Courage? It seems like I know he is no match for Xiaoyun, so he showed empty strength. ” Chen Qiushui remained indifferent and spoke while his interest in the matter seemed to be lethargic. “I've already told you that he's only the Fourth Region's Star Lord, so there's no need to fuss about that.”
“Qiushui, you are wrong. He was a personal disciple of Oracle Mountain, and he could even make two outstanding figures like Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian accompany him here. It's not something anyone can do. ” Chen Daoyuan seemed to be lost in thought and said, “But you are not wrong. His cultivation in the Fourth Star Kingdom Region was indeed a huge flaw. Thus, no matter how heaven defies his combat power, he might not have much of a chance to obtain a successor position in our Chen Clan. ”
Chen Qiushui turned around and left while muttering. “Come, Ancestral Worship Ceremony will start 3 days from now. We have to prepare first. I heard that the Daoist Fellow of many other powers will come to watch the ceremony …. It's really power. There was not this much power during the last grand ceremony …. “
Chen Daoyuan smiled and left with him.
…
Although Chen Hongxiu was severely injured, only the outer injuries did not harm his foundation. So, he will be able to make a full recovery with a few days of recovery.
“Why don't you just reply now?” Chen Hongxiu panted heavily while asking this question because he was very curious about it.
Chen Xi replied casually. “No need.”
“No need?” Chen Hongxiu was stunned. He had already thought of many answers but had never thought of such an answer.
“Chen Xiaoyun came for no other reason to investigate my strength and abilities, so how could I possibly let her fulfill her wish?” Chen Xi spoke cheerfully.
Chen Hongxiu could only ask. “But .. aren't you worried he'll really kill you?”
“He wouldn't dare.” As he spoke here, Chen Xi pondered deeply before he said, “I'm not arrogant, but he really won't dare let me suffer any injuries before the Ancestral Worship Ceremony begins.”
“Why?” ask Chen Hongxiu.
“If that happens, then those two Senior Brothers will absolutely not let this matter rest. Even to the extent that if I suffer an injury, then it is the same as giving them a reason to light up. Under such circumstances, would anyone dare to act like that? ” Chen Xi explained patiently, and his words allowed Chen Hongxiu to finally understand.
Chen Hongxiu did not stay here for too long, and he insisted on leaving after a while had passed. Although his injuries were heavy, there might not be anyone in the Chen Clan who would continue to make things difficult for him.
Chen Xi personally accompanied Chen Hongxiu out of the residence before he turned around and returned. Chen Hongxiu's grandfather was Chen Lingjun's cousin during Chen Lingjun's previous lifetime, and they treated each other like brothers. Moreover, Chen Hongxiu had visited him a few days ago and provided some important information to Chen Xi. This made Chen Xi feel grateful, and even to the point that Chen Xi decided that he would pay Chen Hongxiu well if he had the chance.
…
To Chen Xi's surprise, Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian who had disappeared for several days had returned not long after Chen Hongxiu left.
The two headed to visit some senior Chen Xi, and they had not returned until now. That had caused Chen Xi to feel a little worried. So, he was naturally very happy when he saw them finally coming back.
However, no matter if it was Wu Xuechan or Tang Xian, they did not reveal anything about the visits they had made to the Chen Clan seniors, and that caused Chen Xi to feel somewhat depressed.
“Small Junior Sister, no need for depression. The Competition will start in 3 days, and you can feel free to fight as you like. No need to hold back worries. ” Surprisingly, it was the always cold and reserved Tang Xian who said these words. He had taken the initiative to comfort Chen Xi, and it caused Chen Xi to be overwhelmed by the sudden help.
After which, Chen Xi vaguely noticed that his senior brothers might have gained some advantages from the visits they had made in the past few days.
Wu Xuechan pondered deeply before he said, “However, you should still be wary of any tricks Chen Lingkong might play from the shadows. I was really worried this guy wouldn't stop if he was pushed into a corner. ”
“Could it be ... The imprisonment of my parents is the deed of Chen Lingkong?” A wisp of consciousness flashed through Chen Xi's mind.
“Although it is not the whole truth, but it is not far.” Wu Xuechan patted Chen Xi on the shoulder and said, “There is no need to think too much about it. Maybe your family will be able to reunite in 3 days from now. At that time, your father will tell you everything. ”
Chen Xi nodded.
Three days later.
The entire Chen Clan looked extremely excited in the morning. The clans of the Chen Clan looked like dense waves that fused from all directions within the Ninth Spirit World towards the altar.
The ancient altar floated in the air and covered an area of over 30 km. Moreover, it was surrounded by five peaks that formed the pentagon of the five elements, and it was a rather incredible sight.
When Chen Xi, Wu Xuechan, and Tang Xian arrived here together, they saw a stretch of figures standing orderly on the altar. There are at least a few tens of thousands of them.
They all had sincere and solemn expressions on their faces as they remained silent, and the atmosphere here was unprecedentedly holy and sacred.
A white flame lit up in the middle of the altar while many figures who had majestic and mighty divine auras stood before the divine flames.
When viewed from afar, these figures only looked like many scorching suns emitting a dazzling and brilliant light that was only dazzling.
Clearly, those numbers belonged to the higher-ups of Chen Xi who had the greatest authority in the clan!
To his surprise, Chen Lingkong's figure was among them as well.
“Come, let's watch the ceremony.” Wu Xuechan led the way and directly moved to the top of the mountain.
Chairs and tables were already arranged there, and many figures were already sitting there. Obviously, they had come to watch the ceremony as well.
When Chen Xi's group arrived here, many figures here stood in succession and greeted Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian.
“Grand Lord.”
“Daoist Partner Tang Xian.”
Chen Xi could not hold her breath with emotion as she watched this scene. The reputation that my senior brothers have is no joke. They enjoyed a great reputation even among the Dao Dao Protective Clan in Primal Chaos Origin.
Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian responded by greeting each of them, and then they brought Chen Xi and casually chose a place to sit down.
Chen Xi noticed that many gazes were secretly measuring him from the start, and she could not help feeling a little confused by this. Could it be that they are also aware that I will participate in the competition for the next successor of the Chen Clan?
