The cave that the Chen family arranged for Chen Xi and the others was filled with beautiful mountains and clear waters, filled with the aura of the innate gods, and was extraordinary.
There is also a crystal clear stream winding through it. At this moment, the three brothers are sitting casually on the green grass beside the stream.
"Junior brother, why didn't you kill me just now?"
Wu Xuechan asked with a smile.
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Kill him, I'm afraid things will become difficult."
He sighed and continued: "After all, I am here to take my parents back this time. There are some things that I should be patient with."
Tang Xian, who was next to him, said with a stern expression: "Even if you kill him, you won't hinder our actions. The Chen clan is not so bold as to dare to break up with us."
These words seemed so domineering that Chen Xi couldn't help but feel moved.
Wu Xuechan said: "Okay, let's not talk about this. We joined forces before and forced Chen Lingkong to make concessions. Coupled with the strength that the junior brother showed just now, I think they will definitely not give in."
Tang Xian was silent for a moment and said: "I'm not worried about anything else. The only thing I'm worried about now is that if my junior brother loses in the competition for the Chen family's heir, it will be a bit difficult."
Wu Xuechan deeply agreed, nodded and said: "Yes, the Chen clan is a lineage of the Dao-protecting God Clan after all. There are so many powerful people in the clan. In the Territory Lord Realm, there must be some amazing and outstanding people who are extraordinary in the world. "
After a pause, Wu Xuechan continued: "Junior brother is only in the fourth-star domain master realm now. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter some seven-star, eight-star, or even nine-star domain master realm experts, it will be a bit tricky."
In the Chen clan's sacrificial hall this time, those who can participate in the duel to compete for clan heirs all possess power above the domain lord realm.
And you must know that even in the Imperial Domain, just a Territory Lord Realm existence can become the leader of a top force.
However, in the Chen family, which is a lineage of the Dao-protecting God Clan, there is only one heir quota, and one must be at the minimum Domain Lord level to participate. It can be imagined how high the standards of this competition are.
Chen Xi participated in it by virtue of his cultivation level in the four-star domain master realm. Looking at his cultivation alone, he could only be considered to be at an average level. Once he met a powerful domain master at the level of seven, eight, or nine stars, he would indeed be defeated. People will be worried.
But it's just worry, not despair.
Wu Xuechan and Tang Xianke both knew very well that, despite their mediocre cultivation level, their junior brother's true combat power was unparalleled and could not be measured by common sense.
Therefore, the two of them still have high hopes for Chen Xi's participation in the competition for the clan heir.
Chen Xi was silent for a while, and then said seriously: "Two senior brothers, don't worry, I will go all out when the time comes!"
The Nine Spirit World is the place where the Chen clan is entrenched, and all the descendants of the clan live in it. Therefore, as soon as the news that Chen Xi defeated Chen Ziyu spread, it quickly attracted the attention of the entire Chen clan.
With Chen Lingkong secretly pushing the situation, Chen Xi's identity and the purpose of coming to the Chen clan this time were also known to the entire Chen clan, causing many waves for a while.
"The descendant of the sinner Chen Lingjun? He is so arrogant that he dares to come and seize the place of heir. He simply does not know whether to live or die!"
"He's just a bastard who's not even an innate god. He's not worth showing off."
"Don't be careless. This person can actually defeat Chen Ziyu. His own strength should not be underestimated. Maybe he is prepared."
"Come prepared? Huh, he is only at the level of the Four Star Realm Lord. Don't forget, the younger generation overlords of the three clans, Chen Daoyuan, Chen Xiaoyun, and Chen Qiushui, any one of them can crush Chen Xi!"
"Just wait and see, this guy dares to worry about our clan's heir spot. He must be humiliating himself. We will find out when the sacrificial hall begins!"
Most of these discussions came from the younger generation of the Chen clan, and for those high-level figures, what they were more concerned about was the real purpose of Chen Xi's coming!
"With Shen Yanshan and the Tang family as his backers, no wonder this guy dares to be so rampant and wants to take this opportunity to rescue the criminal Chen Lingjun and his wife. He is really bold."
"No matter what, we won't let them succeed this time!"
"Yes, the criminal Chen Lingjun must stay. It is related to the honor and safety of the clan. No matter who comes, he must not be let go!"
Amid this heated discussion, Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian left their place of residence together to visit some truly important figures in the Chen family.
As Tang Xian said before, although Chen Lingkong exists in the Taoist realm and holds the position of supreme elder in the Chen clan, he can only be said to have overwhelming power. In terms of strength, he is not the leader of the Chen clan. The strongest among them.
Because in the entire Chen family, there are still several ancient antiques that can be called living fossils! They... are the cornerstone of the entire Chen family.
Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian left, while Chen Xi stayed and meditated behind closed doors without leaving the house.
There are only more than ten days left before the Chen clan's sacrificial hall. This time is simply not enough for a Territory Lord realm's cultivation to change.
However, Chen Xi didn't care about this. He was not sharpening his skills before the battle, nor was he cramming before the battle, but practice was like breathing to him. It had already become a part of his life. He had nothing to do and would not waste any leisure time.
"All the mysteries of the Martial Seal inheritance have been thoroughly understood. Now we only need to refine it to fully master its power..."
Chen Xi woke up from meditation and muttered to himself.
The journey from Shenyan Mountain to the Mother Nest of Chaos took Chen Xi and the others eight full years. During the first three years of the journey, Chen Xi had nothing to do and understood the secrets of the inheritance of the "Seal of Martial Arts" for nearly 10 years. half.
In the next five years, he understood 99% of the remaining secrets of the Seal of Martialism. Until now, he has understood all the secrets of the "Seal of Martialism" that represents the inheritance of civilization in the Seventh Age.
There is only one refining process left before you can master the full power of the "Seal of Martial Arts".
Compared with the time it took to comprehend the "Witch Seal" for the first time, the time it took to comprehend the "Martial Seal" was significantly shortened.
However, Chen Xi has determined that this speed is already his limit, and it is impossible to shorten it any further unless his understanding of Fu Dao breaks through to a greater level.
"May I ask if fellow Taoist Chen Xi is here?"
While Chen Xi was deep in thought, a deep voice suddenly came from outside the cave.
"Who's coming?"
Chen Xi stood up and frowned.
"My Excellency, Chen Hongxiu, has come to visit fellow Taoist."
That voice sounded again.
Chen Hongxiu
Chen Xi didn't know this person. He thought about it and finally decided to meet him.
Outside the cave, there stood a man in gray clothes. He had a resolute face and a calm demeanor, and his whole body was filled with a strong and capable aura.
When Chen Xi saw the other party for the first time, he judged that the person's cultivation was only at the level of the Ancestral God Realm and there was no threat.
"Fellow Taoist Chen Xi, I take the liberty of disturbing you, but I would like to thank Haihan."
Chen Hongxiu held his hand and remained silent.
"Fellow Taoist, you don't have to be polite."
Chen Xi smiled, welcomed him into the cave, poured a cup of tea for Duofang, and then said, "I wonder why my friend came to see Chen?"
Chen Hongxiu said: "To be honest, my grandfather Chen Kunwu went to war with my uncle Chen Lingjun. My grandfather and my uncle Chen Lingjun were cousins and had the deepest friendship. When my uncle Chen Lingjun left unexpectedly, my grandfather had been depressed. In the end, he passed away due to the overwhelming inner demons."
Chen Xi suddenly felt solemn, but he didn't know what to say. After all, that was Chen Lingjun back then, and he had not yet been reincarnated.
Chen Hongxiu seemed to understand this, and quickly changed the subject: "However, before my grandfather died, he said that the reason why my great-uncle Chen Lingjun left that year was because there was a major secret, and it was most likely that he was framed. But to this day, there is no such thing. People reveal this truth.”
After a pause, he continued: "Even now, even if my uncle Chen Lingjun is reincarnated, he is still regarded as a sinner and imprisoned by the clan. It is really heartbreaking."
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and said, "Fellow Taoist, are you here just to tell me these things?"
Chen Hongxiu shook his head: "No, I just heard that you, fellow Taoist, are here to rescue my uncle Chen Lingjun. I am naturally excited and looking forward to it, so I came here to see you."
Chen Xi cupped his fists and said, "Fellow Taoist, you are determined."
Chen Hongxiu sighed and laughed at himself: "If I had meant it, I wouldn't have been able to just watch my uncle fall into jail and be helpless."
Speaking of this, his expression suddenly became serious and said: "Fellow Taoist, I have heard about your defeat of Chen Ziyu, but please be extremely careful. These days, what are the remarks about you in the entire Chen clan? There has been such an uproar that many people are secretly preparing to teach you a lesson during the clan sacrifice ceremony, so that you will lose face and return home in vain."
Chen Xi was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for reminding me."
Seeing Chen Xi's lukewarm reaction, Chen Hongxiu couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Fellow Taoist, I am not being alarmist. Before I came here, I had heard that the three most powerful Territory Lords in the clan existed. They have all regarded you as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of you quickly to avenge Chen Ziyu."
"oh?"
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows, "It seems that Wu has now offended the public and become the target of public criticism."
Chen Hongxiu nodded: "Yes, I came here this time to remind fellow Taoist that you must be careful and never be careless."
At this point in the conversation, Chen Hongxiu hurriedly said goodbye and left, looking very worried.
After Chen Hongxiu left, Chen Xi pondered for a long time alone, and finally shook his head and stopped thinking about it. It is useless to think too much about some things.
At the same time, Chen Lingkong came to a dark ancient palace alone.
The name of this hall is "Ask the Heart".
The name is nice, but this place is a forbidden area for the entire Chen clan. It is like a prison, and all the people in the clan who have committed crimes are imprisoned!
