The main hall suddenly became silent, and the descendants of the Chen family opened their eyes wide, looking like they couldn't believe it. ∷∷,
Apart from Chen Xi and the other three, there was one person who remained calm at this moment, and that was Chen Lingkong. However, when he heard Tang Xian reveal Chen Xi's identity, he couldn't help but frown, as if he was a little unhappy, but he finally tolerated it.
At this point, Tang Xian said nothing more and did not strive for anything more, as if he was sure that Chen Lingkong would not agree.
After a while, Wu Xuechan took the lead to break the silence and said: "Fellow Taoist, what do you think of my junior brother Tang Xian's suggestion?"
"No! Even if this person is the descendant of the sinner Chen Lingjun, he is not qualified to participate in the competition for the clan heir!"
Before Chen Lingkong could speak, the young man dressed in white, who was handsome and heroic, couldn't hold himself back, stood up and made an angry sound.
His name is Chen Ziyu, and he is a quite powerful character in the Chen clan. He possesses the cultivation level of a five-star domain lord.
Beings like him can be regarded as middle-level figures in the entire Chen family. Because of his extraordinary talents, his real status is even more important than some high-level figures.
"Brother Ziyu is right. Why is a sinner qualified to participate?"
"I remember that the sinner Chen Lingjun has been reincarnated a long time ago. His descendant is naturally obtained after reincarnation. It is impossible for him to have the blood of my Chen family. Such a guy still wants to covet the position of the heir of my Chen family. It is really ridiculous!
"
"I won't agree even if I wait!"
"Allowing such a person to participate? It is simply an insult to the dignity of my guardian clan!"
Seeing Chen Ziyu stand up and speak out in anger, the other Chen clan members couldn't sit still and spoke out one after another.
Although they did not dare to confront Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian head-on, they were rude to Chen Xi, and their words were full of slander and rejection.
Chen Xi saw all this in his eyes and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Do these guys who claim to be innate gods really think that they are greedy for the identity of the heir of the clan?
Seeing the chaos in the hall, Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian immediately frowned and looked at Chen Lingkong.
Given their status, they are too lazy to argue with these provocative descendants of the Chen family.
Being stared at by Wu Xuechan and Wu Xuechan, Chen Lingkong did not dare to remain silent any longer. His face suddenly darkened and he shouted loudly: "Shut up, everyone! What's the decency of making wanton noise in front of distinguished guests?"
Immediately, Chen Ziyu and the others all shut up and sat down again, but their expressions were full of dissatisfaction, and the eyes they looked at Chen Xi were full of unkindness.
It was as if they saw an alien rushing into their own territory to fight for control, which made them share the same hatred and began to xenophobic.
Regarding this, Chen Xi simply ignored it. He didn't bother to compete with these family members. If he hadn't successfully rescued his parents, he wouldn't have even stepped foot here.
"Well, you two Taoist friends, actually you also know that this Chen Xi is the reincarnation of my brother Chen Lingjun, and has no blood relationship with my Chen family. If he is involved, it will be unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally. I'm afraid we
It’s hard for the whole clan to agree.”
Chen Lingkong sighed, looking embarrassed.
Wu Xuechan smiled slightly and said: "I understand, but if it is according to your wishes, fellow Taoist, Chen Lingjun today is not the Chen Lingjun before reincarnation. If this is the case, why do you regard him as a sinner and imprison him for no reason?
?”
These words hit the nail on the head, and they were exactly what Chen Xi wanted to say most in his heart. Yes, since we are no longer related by blood, why should we arrest my father?
However, Chen Lingkong seemed to have already guessed what Wu Xuechan would say, and his expression became more and more helpless, and he sighed: "Mr. Da, this is different. My brother has now recovered the memory of his previous life, which means that our Chen family
All the inheritance and secrets he possesses are already known to him. Under such circumstances, they are still related to my Chen family after all."
After a pause, he continued: "What's more, the reason why my brother was imprisoned was definitely not our intention, but it involved some confidential matters of the year, and we couldn't tolerate it. If it weren't for this,
, as his brother, how could I have the heart to imprison him?"
This answer obviously did not satisfy Chen Xi, but before he could speak, Wu Xuechan suddenly stood up.
His expression became extremely cold, and he said: "If we divide it according to this relationship, Chen Lingjun is now the father of my little junior brother, but your Chen family imprisoned him because of some causes and effects back then. This is unavoidable.
unacceptable!"
After saying this, Chen Lingkong's expression changed slightly, and he stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became tense due to Wu Xuechan's change in attitude, and was filled with a sense of tension.
At this time, Tang Xian also stood up. His originally stern face was already filled with indifference. He said coldly: "Fellow Taoist, you have roughly seen that I am not here for this purpose.
To compete for the position of heir to your Chen family, as long as you agree to hand over Chen Lingjun and his wife, we will be grateful. If not, not only Shen Yanshan will not agree, I believe that the Tang family will not agree either!"
The voice was calm and calm, but it had a hint of threat.
Only people like Tang Xian and Wu Xuechan dare to say such words on the territory of the Chen family of the Taoist guardian clan. If it were anyone else, it would be no different than seeking death.
The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly tense.
Chen Lingkong's expression also became increasingly gloomy.
He was silent for a long time, and finally took a deep breath and said: "You two fellow Taoists, please sit down for a moment. Let's talk about it if you have anything to do."
If it were just Shenyan Mountain, Chen Lingkong would dare to dare to challenge it if he risked it. But if there was another Tang clan, Chen Lingkong would not dare to treat this matter with caution.
"That's fine."
Wu Xuechan smiled and motioned for Tang Xian to sit down again.
"I just thought about it, and I'm afraid I can't let my brother and the others leave now."
Chen Lingkong pondered, thinking carefully about his words, "However, I can temporarily agree to let Chen Xi participate in this sacrificial ceremony."
As soon as the words fell, Chen Ziyu and his party immediately frowned and felt resentful, thinking that Chen Lingkong was bowing to the other party, which was too humiliating.
Wu Xuechan seemed a little surprised. After exchanging glances with Tang Xian, he nodded and said, "That's not bad."
Seeing this, Chen Lingkong seemed to be secretly relieved. In his opinion, Chen Xi was only in the main realm of the four-star domain. He participated in the competition for the clan heir and could not make any waves at all. In the end, he could only fail.
Return.
"However, there are some things that must be said clearly. If by any chance my little junior brother wins the final victory in this competition, fellow Taoists, you must not go back on your word."
Wu Xuechan glanced at Chen Lingkong and said with a smile.
Hearing this, all the Chen clan members, including Chen Lingkong, were shocked.
Winning the final victory means that Chen Xi will eventually become the heir apparent to the Chen clan. Is this possible?
Obviously impossible!
Just a four-star domain master, how much power can he exert even if he is a descendant of Shenyan Mountain?
I'm afraid they don't know at all how terrifying the Chen clan members participating in this competition are, right?
At this moment, the expressions of Chen Ziyu and the others showed more or less a touch of ridicule, it was ridiculous, it was really ridiculous!
"Haha, Mr. Da seems to have great confidence in his junior brother."
Chen Lingkong smiled and said.
"That's for sure. It's really hard to conclude something prematurely before it happens."
Wu Xuechan nodded seriously.
Seeing this, Chen Lingkong's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, he frowned and pondered for a long time, and then said: "Mr. Da, let Chen Xi participate, but if something like that really happens, the number of heirs will probably..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Xian interrupted: "Fellow Taoist, what exactly do you mean?"
There was a touch of impatience in his words.
Chen Lingkong had never been interrupted like this before. He couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but he said with a wry smile: "Fellow Taoist..."
Tang Xian interrupted again: "There are too many reasons, but they seem very insincere. Fellow Taoist, are you just waiting for me perfunctorily?"
Chen Lingkong waved his hands quickly: "How dare you, how dare you."
At this time, Wu Xuechan suddenly suggested from the side: "It's better to do this. If my junior brother really wins the heir spot in the end, I will ask him to give it up. However, fellow Taoist, you must promise to let Chen Lingjun and his wife go when the time comes.
."
Chen Lingkong's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he finally understood. It turned out that the other party was going around and around, and his true intention was still to rescue Chen Lingjun and his wife!
At this moment, not only Chen Xi, but also Chen Ziyu and his group's eyes fell on Chen Lingkong.
After a long time, Chen Lingkong finally sighed and said: "Okay, for the sake of the two Taoist friends, Chen agreed!"
Hearing this, Wu Xuechan, Tang Xian, and Chen Xi all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. The operation was half successful. This was already a good start.
After all, the other party is from the Chen family, and their background is far beyond imagination. You should not push too hard, otherwise it will easily lead to resistance and resistance from the other party.
"However, Chen would also like to remind everyone that if Chen Xi fails to reach that step this time, please do not mention the matter of my brother again in the future."
Chen Lingkong took a deep breath and said solemnly, this can be regarded as a warning.
Wu Xuechan smiled and nodded: "This is natural."
Until then, the matter was finally finalized.
"Seniors, you have so much confidence in this fellow Taoist Chen Xi, but it really makes us curious. Why don't you let me compete with him now? If you can't defeat me, I don't think there is any need to join the heir.
Competition!”
Chen Ziyu, who was dressed in white, could no longer hold back at this moment. He stood up, glanced at Chen Xi with eyes as cold as lightning, and spoke loudly.
The sound echoed through the hall, full of provocation.u
