In Zha's family, the head of the family is just a spokesperson. Although he has some status, he does not have much power and cannot really decide the lifeline of Zha's family. Once there is any major action or event, the head of Zha's family must Report to the elders above.
The elders of the Zha family are divided into two systems: internal and external. The inner elders are the elders of the Zha family, and they are all people who hold real power. If their opinions can be unified, it can almost determine the lifeline and all actions of the Zha family.
The external elders are composed of some strong people from the Zha family and strong people invited from outside. The external elders have a certain status in the Zha family and enjoy generous treatment, but they do not hold real power.
These systems of the Zha family, Jian Chen had heard from the president of the Guangming Saint Master Guild before he came, so in his heart he had some superficial understanding of the internal situation of the largest family in the City of God.
Jian Chen sat down on a spare seat next to him, and then had a chat with everyone sitting in the hall. After some conversation and introduction, Jian Chen also knew that the people sitting in the hall at the moment were all from the family. top management.
At this time, the head of the Zha family had a straight face, staring at Jian Chen with piercing eyes, and said, "Master Yang Yutian, this time to invite you to the Zha family as a guest, there is actually an important matter that I want to discuss with Master Yang Yutian. ."
Hearing this, Jian Chen knew that the main topic was coming, and his expression became a little serious. He cupped his hands and said, "I don't know if there is anything the Patriarch wants to discuss with Yang Yutian?"
The head of the Zha family smiled slightly, and said: "Master Yang Yutian's ancient gift today made all the internal elders of our Zha family appreciate it. For this reason, several of our internal elders have also made a final decision after some deliberation. I hope Master Yang Yutian can become the internal elder of my Zha family and enjoy the status of real power, I don't know what Master Yang Yutian thinks!" After speaking, the head of the Zha family stared closely at Jian Chen, and there was a trace in the bottom of his eyes. expect.
"Xie Zha's family loves you, but Yang Yutian is already a core disciple of the Guangming Saint Master's Guild, and has been accepted as an apprentice by the guild leader. If you join your Zha family now, I'm afraid it will be a bit inappropriate." Jian Chen said calmly. , I don't care whether I will offend Zhajia by making such a decision.
"Master Yang Yutian, you have to think carefully about letting you become one of the internal elders of my Zha family. This is the first time since the establishment of my Zha family that a member of the direct line who is not my Zha family has become an internal elder. The family values you very much." The head of the Zha family persuaded.
Jian Chen said apologetically: "Patriarch, I'm really sorry, unless I get the master's consent, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to become the internal elder of the Zha family."
"Alas!" The head of the Zha family sighed lightly and said nothing more. Suddenly, his expression changed, showing a respectful look, but he quickly returned to normal and said to Jian Chen, "Master Yang Yutian, Great Elder If you want to see you, please come with me."
Saying that, the head of the Zha family walked out of the hall directly. Jian Chen's eyes flickered, he hesitated for a while, and immediately walked out behind the head of the Zha family, while Yang Ling, the personal guard, was left in the hall.
Jian Chen followed the head of the Zha family all the way to the backyard of the Zha family. Inside the Zha family, Jian Chen didn't see the patrolling guards, but he sensed a lot of aura in the dark, at least all of them. It is the strength of the earth sage, accompanied by some sky sages.
Even when Jian Chen passed by a great hall, he sensed the breath of a strong holy king, whose strength had reached the realm of the holy king's triple heaven.
Jian Chen knew that the strengths he saw were only the tip of the iceberg of Zhajia, occupying the entire city of gods, and also making Zhajia, one of the eight great powers in the Tianyuan Continent, dependent, how could Zhajia only have this strength.
Jian Chen followed behind the head of the Zha family into a palace in the backyard of the Zha family, and finally stopped in a living room. In the center of the living room, an old man with a childish face was sitting on a table drinking tea leisurely. The old man was wearing a long white robe, and his white hair was tied into a knot the size of a steamed bun, entrenched on his head, exuding a dusty aura all over his body, which was quite immortal.
"I've seen the Great Elder!" The head of the Zha family bowed respectfully to the old man.
"Go down!" The elder said lightly, without even looking at the head of the Zha family.
"Yes!" In front of the first elder, the head of the Zha family looked extremely respectful, bowed deeply to the first elder, and then stepped back gently.
After the head of the Zha family left, the first elder finally raised his head, his eyes fell on Jian Chen, and he said in a flat tone, "You are Yang Yutian?"
Jian Chen cupped his hands. Just when he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and he saw an invisible aura emanating from the Great Elder, pressing down on Jian Chen as if the top of Mount Tai was pressing down on Jian Chen's body. The whole body was not even a little bit afraid, even his legs were slightly bent, and he was kneeling towards the ground little by little.
"If you want me to kneel, you don't have the qualifications!" A monstrous anger surged in Jian Chen's heart, his eyes suddenly became sharp, his eyes flashed, and the bright holy energy between heaven and earth was flying fast It condensed towards him, and quickly condensed on him into a silver-white armor covering every corner of his body, emitting a dazzling white light to resist the huge pressure.
With the condensing of the Holy Light Armor, the pressure on Jian Chen's body suddenly weakened a lot, the bent legs immediately stood straight, and the eyes looking at the elder were also a little sharp.
"The strength of this great elder is at least above the sixth level of the Holy King." Jian Chen secretly said in his heart, without the slightest fear.
A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the first elder, and he looked at Jian Chen with some approval, and the invisible aura that he exuded suddenly increased.
Jian Chen's body trembled violently, and when he just stood upright, his legs showed signs of bending again. At this moment, he felt that what he was pressing on was not a big mountain, but an iron mountain, piled up by steel. of Iron Mountain.
Click!
There was a crack in the holy light armor on Jian Chen's body, and then the crack became bigger and bigger, gradually covering every corner of the body, and finally shattered, turning into a cloud of powder and dissipating in the air.
Jian Chen clenched his silver teeth tightly, and all the power of chaos in his body poured into the chaotic inner alchemy and was deeply hidden. At this moment, it was the easiest to reveal the secret of his martial artist identity. The body resists the idea.
"Heavenly God's Protection!" Jian Chen snorted lowly, taking the only defensive divine art out of the three major divine art. Immediately, the holy power of light between heaven and earth gathered towards Jian Chen at an unbelievably fast speed. Although the great elder restricted Jian Chen's movement, he could not stop Jian Chen from performing the magic of light, because the holy power of light was not a martial artist at all. controllable.
"God's protection, I didn't expect you to master this magical technique. It seems that you have mastered all the three most powerful divine techniques of the Guangming Saint Master Guild." The elder whispered in a low voice, with a few expressions on his face. Shocked.
The divine protection of the gods is to condense the light holy energy between heaven and earth into the flesh, so that the flesh reaches the level of steel and iron, and it will not produce any side effects.
The huge amount of bright holy energy was continuously injected into Jian Chen's body, and finally all of it was integrated into his body, causing Jian Chen's entire body to emit a hazy white light, and his body's defense power was increasing at an incredible speed. Rapid enhancement, although it is still far from the body of chaos, it is the strongest defensive magic for the fragile body of the Holy Master of Light.
Jian Chen's physical defense continued to increase, and strong light holy energy flowed in the body, resisting the pressure emanating from the elder, and the bent legs also slowly stood straight again.
There was a strange light in the elder's eyes, and he murmured: "Not bad, not bad!" With the words "good, good!" With the words "good", Jian Chen's aura suddenly increased several times, suppressing all the light emitted by the protection of the gods on his body. As he went down, a crack appeared on the ground where Jian Chen was standing, and it continued to expand. His feet gradually sank three inches into the ground.
There was a hint of determination in Jian Chen's eyes, and then he slowly closed his eyes, raised his hands with difficulty, and squeezed a strange seal on his chest.
Seeing this scene, the big elder's pupils shrank suddenly, and he remembered that this seal was the handprint of the forbidden technique, God's Arrival.
"He must never be allowed to perform God's Arrival. Although this God's Arrival is not a real God's Arrival, it does not pose a threat to me, but the huge sound is bound to alarm the people of the Federation of Trade Unions." The elder thought secretly, and immediately Withdrew his aura, while waving his hand, a soft energy emanated, forcibly dismantling Jian Chen's handprints, and said with a smile, "Master Yang Yutian, don't be angry, the old man just saw the strength of little brother Yang Yutian, and he said with a smile. I don't have any other ideas, if there is anything to offend, please don't take offense to Master Yang Yutian."
Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes, even though he knew that this was the first elder trying to test him, it still made him very angry.
"The first elder asked Yang Yutian to come here, I don't know why." Jian Chen said with a blank face, not polite at all.
The first elder might also know that his previous behavior was a bit excessive, and he didn't care too much about Jian Chen's attitude, and said with a smile: "Master Yang Yutian is really quick to talk, okay, then the old man will say it bluntly, Master Yang Yutian, The old man wants you to join our Zha family and become one of the inner elders of my Zha family."
"This issue has already been mentioned by the Patriarch before, and I'm afraid the Great Elder will be disappointed." Jian Chen's tone was somewhat cold.
The first elder continued: "Master Yang Yutian, to be honest, the chairman of the Guangming Saint Master Guild has a lifespan of more than 100 years. Once he leaves after a hundred years, the Guangming Saint Master Guild will fall into our home. Under the control of the master, if you join our Zhajia as an internal elder, the old man can promise you that in the future, our Zhajia can hand over the full power of the Guangming Saint Master Guild to you, and you will be the chairman, and I will be the leader. You will also be your strong backing, Master Yang Yutian, you might as well think about it."
The first elder did not hide it from Jian Chen, because the fact that the Zha family wanted to annex the Guangming Saint Master Guild was still a secret, but it was no longer a secret to those big families in the City of God, and the first elder felt even more in his heart. It was clear that the president of the Guangming Saint Masters Guild knew that the Zha family had this ambition early on, so telling Jian Chen this secret would not have any impact on the Zha family's plan.
