Talisman Emperor
Chapter 2039 Half A Year In A Brief
This isn't the right time?
Chen Xi was confused. “Why?”
Chen Lingjun and Zuoqiu Xue exchanged glances before they said, “Year-old when we came to the Chen Clan to seek shelter, he said, I promised Chen Taichong that I will not go arbitrarily before the next Battle of the Dao Protector begins.”
He paused for a moment before continuing. “Currently, there are 500 more years before the agreement is completed.”
Chen Xi's eyebrows united even tighter. “Is this a condition of exchange between you two?”
Chen Lingjun nodded and shrugged his shoulders. ” Otherwise, how could Chen Taichong dare to take such a risk against Heaven Dao to hide us here? The Divine Dao Protector Clans protected the Heaven Dao, yet Chen Taichong dared to take such a risk and make such a decision. How can I go back on my word? “
It was only now that Chen Xi reached an understanding, and he could not help but look. “According to my knowledge, Primal Chaos Origin is the closest place to Heaven Dao. So staying here would undoubtedly be equivalent to being right before Heaven Dao. Isn't that too dangerous? “
Chen Lingjun smiled. “There is no perfect method in the world.”
When he realized that he could not persuade Chen Lingjun, Chen Xi could not help but look at Zuoqiu Xue with the intention to make him persuade Chen Lingjun.
However, Zuoqiu Xue smiled and shook her head in disappointment, and she looked as if she intended to stand beside Chen Lingjun, no matter what.
This immediately gave Chen Xi a headache. He came to the Chen Clan to take back his parents. But now that he had achieved this goal, he never expected that his parents would really not want to leave due to the agreement many years ago. So, how could Chen Xi not be in conflict with this?
Chen Xi rubbed her brows and sighed. “But why did you agree to this condition at that time? Could it be that there is a secret behind why you can't leave until the Battle of Dao Protector begins? If there really is no other way, then how about I go ask Chen Taichong?
Chen Lingjun shook his head. “Xi’er, if you have the best interests in our hearts, then you will respect our decision!”
His voice was calm, but his tone was indisputable.
Zuoqiu Xue spoke in a soft voice. “Xi’er, your father said behind to pay his debt from his previous life. Now that he had recovered the memories of his previous lifetime, he had the legacy of the entire Chen Clan and even some unique clan secret techniques, and only he was truly aware of the knowledge he possessed. So, Chen Taichong would not let your father go at such a time either. “
When he spoke up to this point, Zuoqiu Xue took a deep breath before he said seriously, “After he has completed the karma related to his memory, he said, it will be the moment we separate ourselves completely from the Chen Clan, and we will not become related to it at all. Otherwise, your father might be forever unable to eat and rest in peace. “
Chen Xi fell into a long silence after hearing this.
He naturally gave unconditional respect to his father's wishes and decisions. However, when he thought about how they would stay behind as ‘villains’ imprisoned here for another 500 years, he felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.
“Xi’er, no need to hesitate anymore. After all, you should come to Primal Chaos Origin within 500 years from now so that you can represent the Chen Clan in the Battle Protector Dao. We can go together at that time. ” Zuoqiu Xue smiled as she said these words.
“Persis. I'll even be able to give you some guidance when you come to participate in the Battle Protector Dao. After all, I have memories of my experience in the Battle Protector Dao during my previous life. Although it cannot help you greatly, it will really be able to help you avoid a large number of dangers, “ Chen Lingjun said.
Chen Xi let out a long sigh when she heard this, and then she bitterly laughed and shrugged. “Looks like I have no choice but to agree.”
Chen Lingjun and Zuoqiu Xue exchanged glances and smiled at each other while they felt extremely grateful.
…
Outside the Conscience Hall.
“How was your discussion?” When he saw Chen Xi's figure walking out of the hall of conscience, Chen Taichong who had been waiting for him for a long time immediately smiled and asked this question.
“I will definitely be very grateful if Senior can cancel the agreement and let my parents go with me now.” Chen Xi spoke casually while her attitude was rather cold and indifferent.
“Haha, agreement is oath. How could it be undone. Go ask your dad about it. If he insisted on leaving, then I really wouldn't blame him. ” Chen Taichong grinned as he said these words.
Chen Xi could not help but snort. “You may have realized that my father would definitely not go back on his words, right?”
Chen Taichong could not hold his breath when he realized that the atmosphere between them was a little stiff, and he said, “Little Fellow, if you agree to join my Chen Clan, I will, then I will ignore the oath penalty, and I will definitely charge now, drag your parents out, and force them to leave. “
Chen Xi could not help but feel speechless when she heard Chen Taichong talk about bringing him to the Chen Clan at such a time, and she could barely resist rolling her eyes.
After a while, he said word for word, “That's impossible!”
As soon as he finished talking, turn around and leave.
“What a stubborn little man ...” Chen Taichong stared blankly at Chen Xi as he muttered. “If you know that I will suffer eternal punishment from Heaven Dao if I break the oath, then will you agree?”
Even though he spoke like this to himself, Chen Taichong still chased after Chen Xi and said, “Little Fellow, you intend to leave now?”
“No, I intend to stay here for half a year. It won't be too late to leave once my wounds have fully recovered. Senior, you won't intend to expel me, right? ” Chen Xi did not even turn around when she replied Chen Taichong.
During the battles in the competition before this, he had fought Chen Daoyuan, Chen Qiushui, and Chen Xiaoyun, causing him to suffer many injuries. Coupled with the fact that he was suffering from the Burst Godslaughter's side effects, it was causing Chen Xi to be in a terrible state right now.
Of course, the reason he chose to stay for half a year was mostly not because he wanted to recover, and it was only because he wanted to accompany his parents a little longer.
“Half year?” A wisp of smile suddenly appeared in the corner of Chen Taichong's mouth while he thought in his heart. How fortunate. I refuse to believe that this little boy would disagree if I persuaded him several times during this period. Oh, maybe I should give him some kind of benefit that he couldn't resist?
If the Chen Clan clan found out that the senior they respected the most was actually shrinking his brain to form a strategy so that he could get Chen Xi to join the clan, then one could only wonder what they would think.
…
“Little Junior Brother, be careful!”
Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian cupped their hands towards Chen Xi outside the Chen Clan.
After they learned that Chen Xi stayed for half a year to accompany her parents, the two chose to leave.
They were not very free, and it was already very rare that they could accompany Chen Xi on his journey to Primal Chaos Origin.
Now, everything was done, so they had no intention of staying any longer.
They passed a copy of the map to return to the Ancient Gods Domain to Chen Xi before they left, to prevent him from getting lost.
After all, the Primal Chaos Origin was located beneath Godrank Mountain, and it was truly too far from the outside world. Coupled with the fact that the path was filled with danger, even a Fifth Star Region Master like Chen Xi would definitely suffer misfortune without a map.
On this day, Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian left the Chen Clan while Chen Xi chose to stay, and she recovered from the injuries while mostly accompanying her parents.
…
“You have decided to let the boy participate in the Battle Protector Dao and not our clan's Chen Daoyuan?”
“Iya.”
“The child agrees?”
“Iya.”
“Other ancestors don't mind?”
“Iya.”
In the vast hall, Chen Lingkong stared blankly ahead while his figure looked somewhat silent. After a long time passed, he finally sighed. “So, I can only stay here and cannot leave until the Battle of Dao Protector ends?”
“Iya.”
Chen Taichong stood at the door of the hall while his thin face was covered in indifference, and it was impossible to distinguish emotions from that.
“Why? That boy is definitely not the descendant of our Chen Clan, so why would he replace Daoyuan in the Battle Protector Dao? That really doesn't make any sense! ” Chen Lingkong suddenly revealed a restless expression and shouted in a gloomy voice.
“No one can deny that he is the descendant of our Chen Clan, and it just depends on whether we accept it enough.” Chen Taichong's expression remained unchanged as he spoke nonchalantly. “You don't have to worry about this problem. In addition, do not forget that while the mistakes you made years ago have passed along with the passage of time, not everyone can forget them. So, it is best that you do not repeat your mistakes at such times. “
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Taichong flicked his sleeve and left.
The door to the hall rumbled to close, and then the hall fell into darkness.
Chen Lingkong stood in place while his expression turned indeterminate, and he seemed to be putting on an extremely intense struggle in his heart. After a long time passed, he muttered. “Chen Clan we are part of the Divine Dao Protector Clans, so wouldn't going against Heaven Dao be a mistake?”
He took a deep breath before a wisp of resolute expression suddenly flashed in his eyes. “If it's wrong, then let me ... keep making such mistakes!”
After he made up his mind, Chen Lingkong's figure flashed and disappeared on the spot. At the same time, he sent out a voice transmission. “Ling Nu, spread the word about everything that happened in our clan over the past few days! No matter what the consequences are, I will bear all the responsibility! ”
…
Time flowed like water, and nearly half a year passed by quickly.
A graceful figure was like a shadow to the starry sky outside the Primal Chaos Origin, and the figure appeared there without making a single sound.
His figure was slender and covered in thin mist while he stood on top of an ancient furnace. Although his appearance was invisible, he exuded a soul-shaking commanding aura.
“It's been so long. Why hasn't he shown up yet? ” He sighed as he stood there alone, and he looked a little lonely.
Right at this moment, waves of conversational sounds suddenly echoed from the entrance of the plane in Primal Chaos Origin.
“Senior, no need to send me so far.”
“Okay, do you really not intend to stay any minute? Even if you refuse to agree to my request, there is still no need to leave in a hurry. “
“It won't be too late to bother you 500 years from now.”
“Good…. Continue in. Careful, careful! ”
“Farewell, Senior.”
The unfinished voice echoed around as a tall figure emerged from within the entrance while carrying a chaotic expanse of fog with him.
This figure was wearing green clothes and had a handsome appearance. Surprisingly, it was Chen Xi!
