Chapter 823: Chenzong Crisis
Star God Continent, Sanctuary.
More than ten years ago, the Chen Sect, which was founded by Tang Chen, thwarted the joint attack of the five sects and four clans in one fell swoop, and then subdued the Holy Gate, completely consolidating its position as a first-class sect power, and occupying a place in the Holy Domain, which also made the situation of "five clans and four clans co-managed" after countless years become "co-managed by six clans and four clans".
For this situation, the "Five Sects and Four Clans", who were originally the overlords of this continent, were naturally very unhappy, but they were forced to accept it because of the terrifying strength of Chen Zong.
Especially in the "Five Sects and Four Clans", many people died at the hands of Chenzong, including their young sect master, so it is none other than the Qizong that hates and does not want to see Chenzong on an equal footing with them.
Now more than ten years have passed, and Chenzong has gradually gained a foothold in the Holy Domain, but Tang Chen, the first sect master of Chenzong, disappeared after subduing the Holy Gate, and even the core figures of Chenzong did not know where he went.
It's just that there are rumors that Tang Chen is likely to have ascended to the Holy Heaven, but people don't believe this statement very much, because no one has seen Tang Chen near the Holy Mountain, and in order to ascend to the Holy Heaven, he must go to the Holy Mountain.
Therefore, more people believe that Tang Chen should have retired to the back of Chenzong, no longer bothering about Chenzong's daily affairs, and devoting himself to cultivation, in order to break through the Star Emperor realm as soon as possible and ascend to the Holy Heaven.
And Tang Chen has therefore become the strongest foundation of Chen Sect to deter the forces of other sects, although the "Five Sects and Four Clans" are constantly making small moves, they have never dared to provoke Chen Zong on the bright side, like the previous Nine Great Sects joined forces to crusade against Chen Zong, they did not dare to do it, because they knew that if there was a second time, they would definitely pay a price that they could not afford.
With the passage of time, some new peak star emperors were added to the five sects and four clans, but none of the original peak star emperors flew to the holy heaven, this situation was very abnormal, they specially convened relevant meetings to discuss, but they did not find out the reason.
Of course, if Tang Chen was still in the Sacred Domain and participated in their discussions, they might learn the truth from Tang Chen, but not necessarily, this truth was too cruel, and Tang Chen might not believe that they could maintain their due composure in the face of this truth.
However, there is another theory that is spreading secretly, this statement points to the root of everyone's inability to soar to Chenzong, although it does not directly and definitely say that Chenzong is the culprit, but it raises some questions that are easy to associate, such as why Chenzong, as a new sect, can be among the top forces in a very short period of time?......
Gradually, there was a lot of speculation.
After that, some speculations were spread as if they were facts, and one of them was that Chen Zong controlled the origin of the interface of the Star God Continent and drew strength from it, thus creating many peak Star Emperor powerhouses in a short period of time, and it was precisely for this reason that the original rules of this interface were destroyed, making it impossible for the Peak Star Emperor to ascend.
These rumors naturally aroused Chenzong's vigilance, but the high-level of Chenzong thought that his sect had a deep heritage, and there were dozens of peak Star Emperor powerhouses in charge, and they were not afraid of the little tricks played by those ghosts and ghosts in secret, so they only made a public clarification, and did not take other effective measures to fight back against the rumors.
When the focus of public opinion was all pointed at Chenzong, the top management of Chenzong realized the seriousness of the situation, but it was too late.
For the peak Star Emperors, cutting off their path to ascension is tantamount to asking for their lives, because if they can't soar to break through to the Star Saint Realm, their lifespan cannot be increased, and when most of the Peak Star Emperors cultivate to this realm, they are basically close to their lifespan, if they can't ascend, then it won't be long before they die of old age, which is something they absolutely can't bear!
When they didn't know the reason, they could only accept their fate, and now that they knew that the root of the problem was in Chenzong, they naturally wouldn't stand still.
As a result, an alliance against Chenzong developed rapidly in secret, and this time, they were even more active than the five clans and four clans joining forces to crusade against Chenzong more than ten years ago!
......
Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Chenzong, Chendian.
The high-level leaders of the Chen Sect gathered here, and everyone frowned tightly and looked solemn.
Sect Master Tu Zhan Tian sat on the Sect Master throne above, his strength had improved significantly compared to when Tang Chen left, and he was already a Star Emperor powerhouse, although he was only a beginner Star Emperor, but in this low-level interface of the Star God Continent, it was an extremely remarkable cultivation speed!
Tu Zhantian glanced at everyone and said, "According to reliable information, the team of the Ascension Alliance has set off and will arrive at us in half a month at the latest. Everyone knows that the Ascension Alliance is an alliance composed of peak Star Emperors, and their total number has exceeded four hundred, if it is tough, with our strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to contend with it......"
After a pause, he turned to ask, "Do you have any good strategies to retreat from the enemy?"
Everyone, you look at me, I take a look, there is no sound, the difference in strength between the two sides is so huge, it is almost impossible to win with strategy.
The hall suddenly fell into a brief silence, and the needle could be heard.
After a while, an elder arched his hand and said, "Sect Master, are the rumors outside true?if that's the case, we might as well hand over the interface origin, maybe ......"
"Smack!"
Before the elder could finish his words, Tu Zhantian slapped his palm on the armrest of the throne, glared at this person angrily, and scolded: "Elder Qiu, as a core member of this sect, you actually don't even believe in this sect, but listen to rumors from the outside world, can you know what is wrong?"
Elder Qiu was so frightened by Tu Zhantian that he hurriedly got up and bowed and saluted: "Your subordinates don't dare to lie! Your subordinates do believe some rumors from the outside world, because the rumors are justified and well-founded, but on the other hand, our sect's clarification is not very convincing...... This is not the next person who thinks so, there are not a few people who think the same way as me, and I also ask the sect master to learn from it!"
Tu Zhantian sneered and said, "Mingjian, I'm afraid what you want is not my Mingjian, but the origin of the interface, right?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the other people in the hall and said, "And you, you, you, and you, all have the same thoughts as Elder Qiu, right?"
The people he pointed out were not the patriarchs of the Chen Sect, but were later promoted one after another in order to stabilize the hearts of the disciples of the sect, among them there were people who asked the Holy Gate, and there were also people who took refuge from some small sects, these people did not know much about the past of the Chen Sect, nor did they know the methods of Tang Chen, the ancestor of the Chen Sect, so their hearts were naturally not as firm as those of Tu Zhantian.
Elder Qiu and the others all lowered their heads one by one and did not refute them, which could be regarded as acquiescing in Tu Zhantian's accusations.
