Hearing this, Chen Lingjun was silent for a while.
Seeing this, Zuo Qiu Xue on one side couldn't help but said softly: "Since I said I wanted to let it go, why should I keep it in my heart? What's more, there is nothing unspeakable about this matter."
Chen Xi was stunned and keenly realized that the reason behind this incident was probably a scar that could not be erased in the heart of his father, Chen Lingjun.
"Xi'er, it's okay to tell you the reason, but everything is in the past. You have to remember not to worry about it too much."
Chen Lingjun took a deep breath and then said: "After I obtained the ninth river map, my destiny changed. Whether it was status, cultivation, or authority, I surpassed Chen Lingkong. All of this made him feel a little uncomfortable."
"Because at that time... he was the pride of the entire Chen clan. He was also highly expected by many old antiques. He was the most promising person to take over the position of clan leader. No one could compare with him. But since I set foot on the Taoist
With the help of the ninth piece of river map, everything changed."
"His light was completely eclipsed by me. No one paid attention to him or admired him anymore. Even the big shots in the clan placed everything on me."
"In the end, he made a mistake when I was killed by heaven because of the ninth river map."
"He... betrayed me secretly and told the Grand Master about my reincarnation in the three worlds!"
Speaking of this, (Chen Lingjun's expression could no longer hide the complex look, pain, sadness, and loss. In the past life, Chen Lingkong was his biological brother after all. As an elder brother, how could he not feel sad about this?
A cold light suddenly flashed in Chen Xi's eyes. This was his father's biological brother in his previous life. He actually betrayed his brother out of jealousy and loss?
This is simply unforgivable!
At this moment, Chen Xi even remembered the scenes of participating in the competition for the Chen family's heir, and all the despicable tricks and means that Chen Lingkong had used to deal with him.
Suddenly, Chen Xi's expression became cold, and hatred surged in his heart.
"However, all this has passed, and I am no longer a member of the Chen clan. I can let the past go."
Chen Lingjun sighed deeply and waved his hand, feeling a little disinterested. He did not want to mention this matter again.
"Father, if that's the case, then why do you insist on returning to the Chen clan? They imprisoned you and your mother as criminals!"
Chen Xi frowned.
"No, you are wrong."
Chen Lingjun smiled meaningfully, "The reason your mother and I returned was just to save our lives. In other words, I took the initiative and did not blame anyone."
Chen Xi was suddenly startled: "Why is this?"
"The reason is very simple. The Supreme Leader will not let me go."
Chen Lingjun said calmly, "When I rescued your mother from the Iris Prison, I accidentally leaked my whereabouts and attracted many disciples of the Taishang Cult. Even the heavens sent down a murderous calamity. In desperation, we had no choice but to escape from the Three Realms.
."
After a pause, he continued: "And in this ancient divine realm, the power of the Supreme Religion is still rampant. The only safe place I can think of is naturally the Chen family. Fortunately, Chen Taichong, the ancestor of the Chen family, looks at
Because of your kindness in the previous life, you took me and your mother in, otherwise... we might still be on the run now."
At the end of the sentence, Chen Lingjun couldn't help but have a wry smile on his lips.
Chen Xi thought about the scene he encountered in the Iris Prison, and immediately understood the situation of his parents at that time.
Because at that time, if the third senior brother Tie Yunhai and the fourth senior brother Lao Qiongsu had not come to the rescue in time, even he and his junior brother Li Yang would have been almost killed by the Supreme Seven Killing Generals.
Even though the Supreme Seven Killers were eventually destroyed, Tie Yunhai and the others were unable to resolve the Order Divine Chain killing attack from Heaven, and finally left with no choice but to go to the ancient divine realm.
From this, we can imagine that the situation Chen Lingjun and his wife encountered at that time was probably the same. It was so dangerous that they had no choice but to leave.
However, what surprised Chen Xi was that the reason why his parents returned to the Chen clan was to seek refuge.
He thought about it and suddenly understood that as one of the five poles of the Imperial Realm, the Supreme Sect was so powerful that there were only a handful of people in the world who could compete with it.
If it were Chen Xi himself, he would probably choose the Chen clan located in the Mother Nest of Chaos as a refuge, just like Chen Lingjun.
"But...why do they all regard you as a sinner?"
Chen Xi was still puzzled by this.
Chen Lingjun shrugged and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, I am no longer a member of the Chen clan. If I offend the Supreme Sect, it will bring disaster to the Chen clan, so I can only play the role of a sinner.
Although he is hiding here, he has clearly separated himself from the Chen family. In this way, even if the Taishangjiao learns about this, he will definitely not go to the Chen family to cause trouble."
Only then did Chen Xi suddenly understand.
"Of course, only your mother, I, and Chen Taichong, the ancestor of the Chen family, know about this matter. The others are still kept in the dark."
Chen Lingjun added casually.
Chen Xi frowned and said, "Father, why is the Supreme Leader so determined to deal with you?"
"Do you know the relationship between Taishangjiao and Heavenly Dao?"
Chen Lingjun asked rhetorically.
"The Supreme Master is just a dog at the gate of heaven."
Chen Xi sneered.
"In this case, you should understand that I took away the ninth piece of the River Map on the Mountain of Conferred Gods, which caused the hatred of Heaven, so the Taishangjiao, who claims to be 'walking the law on behalf of Heaven', will naturally not let me go.
"
Chen Lingjun also sneered.
The father and son both sneered. The scene was very interesting, and it immediately made Zuo Qiuxue next to him laugh out loud.
"You guys, please stop talking about these grievances. We finally got together and we should talk about some happy things. Don't let those dirty things ruin your interest."
Zuoqiu Xue said with a smile.
Chen Xi and Chen Lingjun looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
But in his heart, Chen Xi has become more determined to eradicate the Supreme Sect. As early as the Three Realms, the Supreme Sect has been using all means to deal with him.
He now knows that even his father Chen Lingjun has been hunted by the Taishang Cult these years. Could this make Chen Xiyan indifferent?
…
"Lingjun, congratulations on your family reunion."
At this moment, a vast voice came from deep in the wind and snow, and with the voice, Chen Taichong's figure floated over.
"Ancestor."
Chen Lingjun was startled, then stood up immediately, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help."
Chen Taichong waved his hand and said: "The little guy fought for all this by himself. It has nothing to do with me, so there is no need to thank me."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Chen Xi and suddenly smiled: "Lingjun, you now know that five hundred years from now, this little guy will fight on behalf of our Chen clan and participate in the battle to protect the way.
Bar?"
Chen Lingjun and Zuo Qiuxue were both stunned and looked at Chen Xi: "Is this serious?"
Chen Xi nodded.
Suddenly, Chen Lingjun's expression became a little complicated. He looked at Chen Taichong and said, "Since I no longer care about the things in the previous life, why do I still need my son to get involved?"
Chen Taichong frowned and sighed: "I don't want to be like this, but...who do you think is worthy of this important task in the Chen family today?"
Chen Lingjun was silent for a moment.
"Don't worry, I won't let the same mistake happen again. What's more, this battle to protect the road is a rare opportunity for the little guy?"
Chen Taichong said warmly.
Chen Lingjun couldn't help but sigh, looked at Chen Xi and said, "Are you...really planning to get involved?"
Chen Xi thought for a while and then said: "I want to give it a try. If I can seize this opportunity to advance to the realm of Tao Master, that would be great."
Suddenly, Chen Lingjun suddenly realized something, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I forgot that you are now at the realm lord level. That's right, after reaching this stage, you should seize every opportunity to attack the path known as the Heaven.
The realm of the Lord.”
Zuo Qiuxue also opened her eyes wide, and suddenly realized that her son's cultivation had reached such an advanced level, and she had just been talking to him and had completely ignored this point.
At this time, Chen Xi also realized that the cultivation level of his parents was only at the level of the Spiritual God Realm, not even the Ancestral God.
This made him feel heartbroken. No wonder his parents were forced to flee, and no wonder they could only hide in the Chen clan as sinners... In recent years, they have suffered a lot in the face of the all-pervasive pursuit of the Taishang Cult.
Bar?
"It's just a pity that this little guy is unwilling to agree to join the Chen clan no matter what. Alas, it's a pity..."
Chen Taichong suddenly sighed.
Chen Lingjun and Zuo Qiuxue looked at each other, not sure what Chen Taichong was thinking, but they would not make any arbitrary decisions for their son.
Seeing this, Chen Taichong frowned, shook his head and smiled bitterly. He knew clearly that if even Chen Lingjun and his wife did not help him, there would be little hope for the little guy Chen Xi to join the Chen clan.
"That's all, you continue to reminisce about old times, I'll take my leave first."
Chen Taichong turned around and left, and his lonely figure quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.
After watching him leave, Chen Lingjun said with a complex expression: "No matter what, the ancestor of the Chen family treated me well after all. It's just a pity that there is nothing I can do about this matter."
Seeing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but said dumbly: "Father, although I refuse to join the Chen clan, I have promised the ancestor of the Chen clan that if there is any mission in the future, I will not stand idly by."
Chen Lingjun nodded and said: "It's the best, it's the best."
Zuo Qiuxue pursed her lips and chuckled.
"Father, mother, let's leave here right now. My two senior brothers are still waiting outside."
Chen Xi said.
The place was filled with wind and snow, empty and lonely, as deserted as a prison. He didn't want to let his parents continue to suffer here.
Unexpectedly, Chen Lingjun and Zuo Qiuxue shook their heads together and said, "It's not the time for us to leave yet."
ps: If there is no update before 10 o'clock in the evening, you don't have to wait. I am single and going on a blind date...
