There was no one in sight outside Chen Feng's residence, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Countless eyes fell on this lonely house from the darkness, as if countless hunters were aiming at the same prey at the same time.
However, Chen Feng's door remained motionless and was never opened.
No one knew what Chen Feng was doing in the house. They tried to use their immortal consciousness to explore, but found that a formation had been set up in the house to isolate immortal consciousness. Although this formation was not very profound, many people present could easily break it, but who would do such a thankless task? As long as Chen Feng couldn't escape there, it would be fine.
However, what is Chen Feng doing at this moment
He was sitting cross-legged on his bed peacefully, stuffing some pills into his mouth from time to time, using the power of the pills to make up for the exhaustion left by using the Heaven-Splitting Sword.
Chen Feng didn't care about the numerous surveillance outside, because he had quietly launched his backup plan.
…
Suddenly, there was a voice outside the door.
I saw a large group of monks walking slowly, led by the head of the Li family, Chen Feihong.
Arriving at an open area, the head of the Chen family suddenly stopped and shouted loudly: "Li Hu, I'm already here, why are you coming out?"
The sound rolled out, making the surrounding trees rustle.
On the other side, a large group of people came out from the darkness, and there were quite a few of them.
"Master, the master said that I will negotiate with you about today's matter!" The speaker was a man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks, and judging from his clothes, he looked like a butler. However, the person who could speak at this moment was probably of high status.
"Liu Gui, who do you think you are? You are just a dog by Li Hu's side. Do you think you are qualified to negotiate with me?" Chen Feihong smiled coldly, his eyes cold: "Go and call your master out!"
"Chen Feihong, you are so bold!" Liu Gui looked at Chen Feihong angrily and shouted through gritted teeth.
"I'm bold? When did a slave dare to speak to his master like this? You really deserve a beating!" As he spoke, the head of the Chen family slowly stretched out his hand and slapped Liu Gui.
This slap seemed to be extremely slow, but in fact it was as fast as lightning. Just as Liu Gui felt a warning sign in his heart, he felt a bang in his head, and then he flew up, crashing into several large trees before he stopped.
Covering his swollen face, Liu Gui no longer dared to be as arrogant as before, but looked at the head of the Chen family with fear. He knew that this time, the head of the Chen family had shown mercy, and the next time, he might kill him!
"To be a dog, you must have the awareness of a dog. Go, ask your master to come out to see me!" The head of the Chen family said lightly, and then stood there calmly, with his eyes slightly raised, showing the demeanor of a great man.
Upon seeing this, the loyalists behind Patriarch Chen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Patriarch Chen was indeed the patriarch. With just a few words, he completely reversed the decline of his side and became a superior being.
"What a waste!" At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded, and several figures walked out slowly. They were the Li brothers led by Li Hu.
On the left side of the Li brothers, Master Ren Dan followed closely with two third-class alchemists, acting as if they were on equal footing with Li Hu.
Watching this scene, the head of the Chen family laughed sarcastically and said, "Li Hu, you are really getting better and better. An outsider alchemist is about to ride on your heads."
Li Hu took a quick glance and saw that Master Ren Dan was indeed slightly ahead of him, and he felt a little annoyed.
The rules of the fairy world are very similar to those of the secular officialdom, which emphasizes seniority and hierarchy. At this moment, Master Ren Dan actually took a position ahead of him, which was undoubtedly an announcement that he was more noble than Li Hu.
However, at this moment, Li Hu naturally would not argue with Master Ren Dan. He sneered and looked back at the head of the Chen family: "Master Ren Dan is a fourth-level alchemist, and his status is so respected. Letting him go ahead represents the respect of my Li family for him. It's not like you, an outsider who has been entrenched in the position of the head of the family for hundreds of years. This is the real usurpation of the position and the lack of distinction between the superior and the inferior!"
The head of the Chen family had a slightly cold expression on his face. "My position as the head of this family was decided by the old master himself. You said that I was usurping the throne. Then let me ask you, is the old master wrong?"
"Humph, the old master is old and frail, so naturally he will make mistakes sometimes!" Li Hu sneered: "The Li family has been handed over to an outsider like you. Sooner or later, the Li family will no longer be the Li family, but your Chen family! If I, Li Hu, don't take back the position of the head of the Li family, how can I be worthy of my ancestors?"
At this time, many members of the Li family had come to watch the excitement and witness the turmoil in the Li family.
Li Hu's words were so righteous that many members of the Li family cheered in their hearts. Most of them were from the lower classes of the Li family and didn't care much about the chaos in the Li family, so they didn't have a clear factional stance. Now that they saw Li Hu's righteous words, they immediately became more inclined to Li Hu.
"Humph! That sounds nice." Patriarch Chen sneered, "Right and wrong are not something you can explain clearly with just your mouth! You clearly knew that Master Ren Dan could cure the old man, but for the sake of the position of Patriarch, you let the old man's condition get worse day by day. Is this your selflessness? The old man is the pillar of the Li family, but you use this to threaten me. Is this what you call being worthy of the ancestors of the Li family?"
"After all, you are not doing this for the Li family, but for yourself, Li Hu!" said the head of the Chen family sternly.
"The head of the family is right. Li Hu is a complete villain and hypocrite!" At this moment, many people who knew the inside story also began to cheer for the head of the Chen family.
In an instant, those who had just thought Li Hu was a good person were all confused. Could it be that Li Hu was really a villain as they said
If this is true, and the Li family falls into this person's hands, life will be difficult for him and others in the future.
"Shut up!" Without Li Hu saying anything, Fifth Master Li Ye had already shouted angrily: "A bunch of short-sighted people, what do you know? Only by maintaining the orthodoxy of the Li family can our Li family avoid decline!"
"For the purpose you mentioned, can you ignore the old man's life and death? Just to force me out of the position of the head of the Li family?" The head of the Chen family smiled calmly: "If this is your purpose, then why not agree to you?"
"Master!"
"The master doesn't want it!"
"Patriarch, think twice!"
Immediately, everyone started shouting anxiously.
"No need to say more, the reason why I gave up the position of the head of the family is not because I am afraid of Li Hu, but to prevent the Li family from falling into decline!" The head of the Chen family said worriedly: "The Li family cannot do without the old man!"
