In the Qianchuan Ancient Territory, there are five supreme powers, all of which are holy places for martial arts.
The Great Chu Holy Land of the Chu family is one of them.
The setting sun is like blood, deep inside a magnificent palace.
A handsome young man of about eighteen years old, wearing a white robe, sat cross-legged in the Nine Palaces Tianxuan Formation in the main hall.
He had just finished practicing and stared at a black source seed in his palm.
This person's name is Chu Tianchen, the young master of the Chu family.
“My father once said that it only takes three years of careful nurturing for the seed to sprout.
Now exactly three years have passed, and although the source seed has only cracked a crack, it seems to be showing signs of sprouting."
Three years ago, he followed his father on an expedition and died in a fighting battle.
In order to save him, his father put this source seed into his body, and it actually brought him back to life.
Regarding the origin of the source seed, he only knew that his father brought it from another world.
Before leaving, his father told him to use his own cultivation to raise Yuan Seed.
Until the source species grows into a towering tree and returns to its original appearance.
Originally only fifteen years old, he had already reached the realm of supernatural powers.
In order to raise the source seed, he spent a lot of training resources to improve his strength.
In the past three years, he has not dared to slack off in his cultivation and has continuously transferred his cultivation to Yuan Seed.
And his skill has also regressed from the magical power realm, the four realms, to the most basic Qi gathering realm.
If not, with his talent in martial arts, it would be time for him to enter the princely realm now.
Just as Chu Tianchen recovered his thoughts, there was suddenly a sound of fighting coming from far and near outside the hall.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the palace door was knocked open.
A middle-aged man in a purple robe, holding a bloody sword in his hand, staggered into the hall.
He was seriously injured, his hair was messed up, and his purple robe was soaked with blood.
After running wildly for a few steps, he fell to the ground with a thud, and a pool of blood quickly gathered under his body.
Chu Tianchen frowned, his eyes full of anger, and asked sternly.
"Fourth Elder, why are you injured?
Who is so bold? Dare to hurt people in our Chu Family Holy Land!"
The fourth elder gasped violently, with a look of deep resentment on his blood-stained face.
"It's Great Elder Chu Qingcang!
He killed all the cronies loyal to the young master and wanted to force the palace to seize the throne.
Even the five hundred elite shadow guards left by the family master for you, young master, were all killed overnight.
Now the entire Chu family is completely under his control.
Young Master, leave quickly...!
They...they want to kill you!"
Chu Tianchen's face darkened and he cursed angrily: "This thief Chu Qingcang is so brave!"
At this moment, a murderous voice came from the gate.
"Want to escape? It's too late!"
As this voice sounded, a sword filled with green light swept into the hall like lightning.
"call out!"
Carrying a dark cyan stream of light, the sword instantly penetrated the fourth elder's head and flew out from his forehead, bringing with it a pool of blood.
After killing the four elders, the power of the sword was not reduced, and it stabbed Chu Tianchen as fast as lightning.
However, when the sword struck in front of him, the dense formations under his body lit up with brilliance and instantly condensed into a golden wall of light.
"Bang!"
The solid golden light wall blocked the sword and sent it flying backwards.
At the same time, a middle-aged strong man in blue robes and a young man in black robes appeared at the entrance of the hall.
The strong man in blue robe is none other than the eldest elder of the Chu family, Chu Qingcang.
The young man in black robe following him was his son Chu Xingyun.
Chu Qingcang waved his big hand and caught the sword that flew back. His brows furrowed fiercely, and a flash of shock flashed in his eyes.
"What a powerful defensive formation, my sword was blocked easily!
It seems... I can't be careless and underestimate the enemy until I get the Patriarch's Holy Seal.
Although he has become a waste, I don’t know how many magic weapons and trump cards Chu Changkong has left for him!"
Chu Tianchen's eyes were cold, his fists were clenched, his knuckles were cracking as he gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.
"Chu Qingcang! You dare to harm the tribe in front of me, do you want to die?!"
"Chu Tianchen! Hand over the patriarch's sacred seal, and I will leave you with a complete body!"
Chu Qingcang exuded a domineering aura and made no secret of his murderous intention towards Chu Tianchen.
Chu Tianchen sneered, with a sharp chill in his eyes, and an invisible air of pride exuding from his whole body.
"You, a lame old man, dare to covet the position of the head of the family?"
Chu Qingcang said in a solemn tone: "The position of the head of the family should be mine!
Twenty years ago, your good-for-nothing dad got an unknown opportunity and suddenly changed into a different person.
Not only did my cultivation level increase crazily, but I also took away the position of head of the family that originally belonged to me!
For the past twenty years, I have been plotting carefully in order to take back what belongs to me!"
Chu Tianchen said in a cold voice: "You old thief, you are so shameless!
Twenty years ago, the Chu family was just an ordinary family in a secular kingdom and a second-rate martial arts force.
It was my father who rose up against the will of heaven, suppressed the Qianchuan Ancient Territory with one man and one sword, and defeated all the talented and powerful men from all sides.
Now the Chu family can become one of the five holy places, surpassing hundreds of countries and thousands of states.
This is the foundation created by my father!
What's more, if my father hadn't come to the rescue, you would have died twenty years ago!
How could it be as simple as losing a leg and allowing you to survive to this day?
My father has only been away for three years, and you want to seek power and usurp the throne?"
Mentioning the crippled left leg, Chu Qingcang felt a pain in his heart and filled with hatred.
Back then, with Chu Changkong's abilities, he could have kept him safe.
But Chu Changkong deliberately refused to take action, causing him to lose one of his legs.
So even though Chu Tianchen spoke righteously, he didn't feel any guilt at all.
"Don't tell me about your hypocritical father!
Back then, he refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on breaking into the forbidden area alone.
There has been no news from him for three years, and I am afraid he has already died.
And now you are just a useless person, how can you shoulder the important responsibility of inheriting the family head?
For the sake of the future of the Chu family, I will kill you tonight!"
Chu Xingyun also said with hatred on his face: "Chu Tianchen, you are no longer the Chu family's number one genius.
Since you have become a waste, you are not worthy of the position of young master!
But you still want to succeed as the head of the family at the coming-of-age ceremony next month. You are so shameless and ridiculous!
You have spent so much cultivation resources, and your family has supported you for three years, which is considered to be the end of your benevolence.
If you had a shred of self-awareness, you should have given up the position of young master to me long ago!"
"Since I was twelve years old, I have followed my father to fight in all directions, fighting for resources and territory for my family, and eradicating enemies and obstacles.
I killed over ten thousand enemies for the Chu family, expanded our territory by eight hundred miles, and made countless contributions.
And you, Chu Xingyun, what contribution have you made to the Chu family?
What qualifications do you have to compare with me?
You will only rely on your status to dominate and ruin the reputation of the Chu family.
You consumed family resources wantonly, and even stole the family's treasures, and you just managed to reach the level of magical power...
Want to be the young master of the Chu family?
Are you worthy?!"
"You are just a piece of trash in the Qi Collection Realm now, and you still dare to yell at me?!"
Chu Xingyun was so angry that his face was ferocious, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.
Chu Qingcang shouted coldly to Chu Tianchen: "Give you one more chance, hand over the patriarch's sacred seal, and give you the whole body!"
"Bring the people up!" Chu Qingcang ordered the guards outside the hall.
Immediately, two guards dragged a dying woman covered in blood and threw her at Chu Qingcang's feet.
"Yunniang!"
Seeing the woman's scars, Chu Tianchen let out a cry of grief, and his eyes were about to burst with anger.
"Chu Qingcang, you are such a despicable and shameless villain, how could you be so cruel to a woman!"
Chu Qingcang sneered and said, "Since you were born, Mother Yun has raised you single-handedly, and she and you share the same love as mother and son.
Apart from your father and sister, she is your only close relative.
If you don’t hand over the Patriarch’s Holy Seal, I will skin her and cramp her, crush her bones and spread her ashes!”
The royal seal of the family head represents the supreme power of the Chu family.
With it, not only can one legitimately succeed the family head, but one can also mobilize all the resources and affiliated forces of the Chu family.
Yun Niang's face was covered with blood, she raised her head and shouted to Chu Tianchen: "Chen'er, leave me alone!
The power of the Chu family must not fall into the hands of a beast like Chu Qingcang!"
Chu Qingcang's face showed a fierce look, and he took out a sword and slashed Yun Niang's limbs with his sword.
With blood splattering, Yun Niang's meridians in her limbs were all severed, and she let out a shrill scream.
"Chu Qingcang! Come to me directly if you have the ability!
If you use a woman as a blackmail, are you still a human being?!"
Chu Tianchen was furious, with strong murderous intent bursting out from his whole body.
Chu Qingcang looked at him with a ferocious face and continued to ask: "To hand over, or not to hand over?"
Seeing that Chu Tianchen was still hesitating, Chu Qingcang swung his sword again and cut off Yun Niang's kneecap.
Blood spattered and formed a stream on the ground, flowing slowly.
Yun Niang almost fainted from the pain, but she still shouted unyieldingly: "Chen'er, if you give the Holy Seal to Chu Qingcang, I will die in front of you immediately!"
"Noisy!" Chu Qingcang's patience ran out and he stepped on Yun Niang's chest.
As the sound of bones breaking was heard, Yun Niang spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.
Chu Tianchen was furious, as if a volcano was erupting in his chest, and the blood all over his body was about to boil.
But he must stay rational, Yun Niang is his only weakness now.
Before Chu Qingcang gets the Holy Seal, Yun Niang still has a chance to survive.
Once he hands over the Patriarch's Holy Seal, both he and Yun Niang will die without a burial place!
For the current plan, he can only find a way to regain his strength so that he and Yun Niang can have a chance of survival.
"Chu Qingcang, the Patriarch's Holy Seal was made by my father. It is extremely magical.
Even if you get the Holy Seal and don’t know its secrets, you won’t be able to become the head of the family, let alone mobilize the power of the Chu family!”
After saying that, Chu Tianchen offered the family master’s sacred seal.
A ball of golden light flew out from his chest and floated in front of him.
It was a purple jade seal as big as a fist, engraved with six golden dragons, wrapped around the jade seal, shining with sacred golden light.
Seeing the Patriarch's Holy Seal with his own eyes, Chu Qingcang's eyes became intense and his breathing became rapid.
"What's the secret of the Holy Seal? Tell me quickly!"
"Then you see clearly!"
Chu Tianchen raised his hands expressionlessly, pinched the magic formula, and activated the mysterious formation in the Holy Seal.
"Whoa!"
The Holy Seal expanded rapidly and burst into dazzling white light, gradually covering Chu Tianchen.
"This is..." Chu Qingcang frowned fiercely, unable to understand what secret method it was.
Chu Xingyun on the side couldn't wait for a long time.
"Bring the Holy Seal, you can die!"
Chu Xingyun laughed ferociously and jumped towards Chu Tianchen.
With his left hand, he grabbed the patriarch's sacred seal, and with his right hand, he stabbed Chu Tianchen in the throat with his sword.
However, Chu Tianchen had long expected that he would snatch it away, and his hands quickly transformed into magic formulas.
"call out!"
The Patriarch's Holy Seal suddenly burst out with a golden light, like an indestructible divine sword, and struck Chu Xingyun's left arm.
"Bang!"
Amidst the muffled sound, Chu Xingyun flew backwards, his left arm was cut off by the golden light, and blood spurted from his shoulder.
When he fell to the ground, he was so painful that he passed out.
"Chu Qingcang, I'm going to destroy your son's arm and just collect some interest first.
When we meet next time, I will kill you and your son!"
Chu Qingcang was horrified. With his strength, he was too late to rescue Chu Xingyun!
"Beast, you are looking for death!"
Chu Qingcang was so furious that he immediately snatched the sacred seal and punched Chu Tianchen from the air.
However, the mysterious formation in the Holy Seal has been fully activated.
The dazzling white light engulfed Chu Tianchen's figure.
"Chu Qingcang, if you dare to kill Yun Niang, I will destroy the entire Great Chu Holy Land, and everyone will be buried with her!"
When Chu Tianchen finished speaking, he and the Patriarch Shengxi disappeared out of thin air!
Chu Qingcang finally understood the mysterious formation, and was shocked in his heart, exclaiming: "It's the legendary space moving formation!
Damn it, this kind of supreme magical power only exists in legends, and has never appeared in the entire Qianchuan Ancient Territory!
It must be Chu Changkong!
To actually place such a shocking formation in the Holy Seal?
What kind of opportunities did this guy get back then?"
After a while, Chu Qingcang calmed down.
"Even if that little beast escaped, the distance it moved in space would not exceed a hundred miles.
He hasn't escaped from the Dachu Holy Land yet!
Someone come!
Send the order and seal off the entire Holy Land immediately. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, we must find him!"
