Chen Taichong's words were sonorous and loud.

If you are other members of the Chen clan, you are afraid that you will be instigated by this rhetoric in an instant, and your blood will be burning.

But Chen Xi didn't react at all, he didn't have the slightest sense of joy at being accepted as a member of this Chen clan, and he didn't have the slightest interest in becoming the patriarch of this Chen clan in the future.

In the depths of his heart, what he belongs to is still Songyan Chen, the "home" that he grew up with since he was a child.

Originally, Chen Taichong was looking at Chen Xi with an expectant gaze, but what disappointed him was that Chen Xi's reaction was too cold, so that he suddenly realized that his thoughts didn't seem to be able to resonate with this little guy at all.

Chen Taichong looked at Wu Xuechan, then at Tang Xian, couldn't help but sigh again, and said, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." ”

In the voice, there was already a touch of loss.

"There are countless heroes in the Chen clan, I think that Chen Daoyuan is extremely suitable to take over the position of the patriarch, what do the seniors think?"

Wu Xuechan smiled slightly.

"This son is indeed rare, but unfortunately there is a great courage in him. ”

Chen Taichong said casually.

"The fire is insufficient, you can use time to sharpen it, I look at the future prospects of this son, it will be above Chen Lingkong, it is really rare. ”

Tang Xian on the side said seriously.

"It's nature. ”

Chen Taichong's expression had regained his calmness, he glanced at Chen Xi, and said, "It's just a pity, compared to the kid in front of him, Dao Yuan's kid is a little inferior." ”

Obviously, this Chen Taichong favored Chen Xi and admired him very much, and even did not hesitate to let him join the Chen clan.

It's a pity that Chen Xi's attitude has revealed everything, which makes Chen Taichong feel a little regretful in his heart.

Soon, Chen Taichong stopped discussing this topic and said bluntly: "I wonder if you can agree to the old man's request?"

Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian glanced at each other, and finally Qi Qi looked at Chen Xi.

"Little junior brother, you still need to make up your own mind about this matter. ”

Wu Xuechan said in a low voice.

"But I don't know what this battle is. ”

Chen Xi smiled bitterly.

"Don't worry so much, as long as you promise, the old man promises to reunite you with Lingjun and his wife, how about it?"

Chen Taichong said quickly.

Chen Xi thought about it, looked at the two senior brothers again, and saw that the two of them did not have any objections, knowing that this matter was not a bad thing for him, otherwise the two senior brothers would definitely not agree at the first time.

"Okay, then the junior might as well be respectful. ”

Chen Xi took a deep breath and made a decision.

"Good!"

Chen Taichong's eyebrows flashed with relief, and immediately, he couldn't help but say, "Little guy, you really don't think about the old man's suggestion just now?"

In his words, he was full of earnestness, obviously he still did not give up, hoping to include Chen Xi in the Chen clan.

This made Chen Xi speechless for a while, and refused without hesitation.

Seeing this, Chen Taichong sighed again, and finally, he promised to take Chen Xi to see Chen Lingjun and his wife at noon tomorrow.

So far, Chen Xi and the others did not linger any longer, got up and said goodbye.

......

Crash~

Not long after Chen Xi and the others left, there were bursts of divine brilliance in this simple and primitive stone house.

Suddenly, one figure after another appeared, and they sat cross-legged at will, as if they had come to their own territory.

In the entire Chen clan, the only ones who dared to live so casually in Chen Taichong's habitat were those few living fossil-level antiques.

"It's a pity. ”

Chen Taichong sighed.

"That little doll is indeed good, but since he is unwilling, I don't have to force it. ”

A gray-robed man said casually.

"You don't understand, the combat effectiveness that this son is showing now is naturally not very powerful, and the path that can be followed is destined to surpass the ancient and modern!"

Chen Taichong's eyes were bright, and he said with a solemn expression, "Don't forget, he is the ninth robber of this era, and you should know better than me what all this means." ”

Everyone else was silent, frowning, groaning, and groaning.

Reaching their level, they naturally knew how different Chen Xi was as the ninth robber of this era.

"If it doesn't work, we can go talk to Lingjun and ask him to come forward and keep this son. ”

The gray-robed man suggested.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate, in this way, I'm afraid Shenyanshan won't agree. ”

The other shook his head.

"In my opinion, you still overestimate this son's ability, without him, can my Chen clan survive?"

Some people don't think so.

Seeing this, Chen Taichong couldn't help but shake his head, and was silent for a long time, before he said: "That's it, let's not talk about this topic, since this son has promised to represent our Chen clan and participate in the battle of protecting the road five hundred years later, it is enough." ”

With that, he stood up and walked out of the stone house.

"Where are you going?"

"Go see the Void, I'm worried he's doing something stupid. ”

......

In front of the Hall of Inquiry.

Chen Lingkong stood there alone with his hands behind his back, silent.

His expression was gloomy, and there was a hint of anxiety and anger between his eyebrows.

"Why? Why is that? Let them reunite as a family? Did they just give up that heavy treasure?"

"Damn Wu Xue Chan, it must be his idea behind his back, otherwise at such a moment, how could he alarm the ancestor to appear?"

"That's it, since you are so resolute, don't blame me for being ruthless, for the sake of the entire clan, even if you have some infamy, what's the point?"

"Big brother, sister-in-law...... You really gave birth to a good son, but unfortunately, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to reunite in this life......"

After a long time of inner conflict, Chen Lingkong seemed to have made a certain decision, Huo Ran raised his head, and looked into the depths of the hall of conscience.

Eventually, he walked towards it.

Long before the start of the sacrificial hall, he had been here once, and he also met Chen Lingjun and his wife, and that conversation was very unpleasant, which also made his purpose frustrated again.

But it's all ...... It doesn't matter anymore!

"Let's go back. ”

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the Great Hall of Inquiry, standing in front of Chen Lingkong.

This person has a clear face, plain and simple, calm and clumsy, and it is Chen Taichong.

"Ancestor?"

Chen Lingkong was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed suddenly, and he vaguely guessed that he was afraid that his purpose had been recognized.

"The hatred of the past, since Lingjun no longer cares, why do you have to worry about it anymore......? It's not enough for you to hurt Lingjun once, you want to hurt Lingjun a second time?"

Chen Taichong's expression was indifferent, but there was a subtle complexity in the depths of his eyes.

"Ancestor, I just want to retrieve that heavy treasure, you should understand my wish, that is, one day I can lead our entire Chen clan to rise again and seek the position of that superior clan!"

Chen Lingkong took a deep breath, his expression had become calm, and he said seriously, "You should know that I have never had a trace of selfishness from beginning to end! Everything is for the sake of the interests of the clan, otherwise, ...... I wouldn't have done such a thing back then!"

"Of course I know, otherwise I would definitely not let you take over the position of Supreme Elder and hold the power of the clan for so many years. ”

Chen Taichong frowned, his expression was a little cold, "It's just a pity, your performance over the years has been very disappointing." ”

Chen Lingkong suddenly became excited, gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it because of the lack of that heavy treasure? If I have him, I will definitely not be worse than him back then!"

Chen Taichong frowned and said, "Even now, don't you want to admit it?" Okay, let me repeat, that heavy treasure belongs to Lingjun, not our Chen clan!"

"Joke! Isn't he Chen Lingjun a member of the Chen clan? Since the other person belongs to the Chen clan, the things in his hands should also belong to the Chen clan!"

Chen Lingkong argued sharply.

"Enough!"

Chen Taichong's eyes burst with a cold glint, "There are some mistakes, I won't watch them make a second time." ”

As he spoke, he waved his robe and walked into the distance, "If you are lost, leave with me now, or you will ......"

The words are not finished, but the meaning is unmistakable.

Chen Lingkong froze in place as if struck by lightning, his expression was cloudy, and it was not until a long time that he smiled bitterly and muttered, "Am I wrong......?

He seemed to have lost his soul, and the whole figure suddenly lost all fighting spirit and hope, and became dead and silent.

"Everyone was at fault back then, including me. ”

Mrs. Chen didn't look back, and said calmly, "So, these mistakes can never be made forever, otherwise, it will only ruin the entire clan." ”

"Really?"

Chen Lingkong was like a walking corpse, following behind Chen Taichong, his eyes empty.

I can't imagine what kind of emotion would make a Dao Master Realm big man look like this.

It was also from this day that Chen Lingkong seemed to evaporate from the world, completely secluded, and never appeared again, no one knew what all this was about.

......

"Senior brother, what's going on with the battle to protect the Dao?"

As soon as he returned to the cave, Chen Xi couldn't help but ask.

Wu Xuechan said casually: "Senior Brother Tang Xian, come on." ”

"That's a long story. ”

Tang Xian sat cross-legged and thought for a moment before he said, "In short, every 10,000 years, in the entire Dao Protector Divine Clan, all the clans will select a Nine Star Domain Lord who is most likely to advance to the Dao Lord Realm, gather them together, and go to the Divine Mountain to fight the Battle of Dao Protection. ”

"Calculate the time, exactly five hundred years later, it will be the time when another battle to protect the road will begin. At that time, junior brother, you can just go and participate. ”

These words are really concise and to the point, I heard that Chen Xi roughly understood, but after thinking about it carefully, many doubts came to my mind.

Why is the Battle of the Protector being held?

Why did he choose the Nine Star Domain Lord who was the most promising to advance to the Dao Master Realm to participate in it?

Is there anything wrong with this?

The most important thing is that he is now a five-star domain master, and after five hundred years, who dares to guarantee that he will definitely be able to advance to a nine-star domain master?

Since he was promoted to the Nine Star Domain Lord, did he have any hope of being promoted to the Dao Lord Realm at that time?

Everything seems so puzzling.
