Chapter 309: Questioning
Tiandanmen, Bai nationality.
The news of Xue Chen's coming out of the Death Grand Canyon spread like the wind, and all the disciples of the Tiandan Sect were shocked. Especially the disciples and elders of the Bai clan were even more proud of Xue Chen. For a time, Xue Chen's status in the Bai clan rose to a new height. Countless disciples even took Xue Chen as their goal, and they kept cultivating hard.
In order to celebrate Xue Chen's victorious return, the Bai clan held a grand celebration banquet, specially for Xue Chen. Except for a few guards who took turns normally, the entire Bai clan gathered in the Bai clan's square and took turns to toast Xue Chen. Thousands of eyes are focused on me, and this feeling is really comfortable.
But even so, Xue Chen still tried to stay awake. After all, in this Lingwu Continent, every qiē is based on strength. If your strength is not enough, today you are above 10,000 people, and tomorrow you may be reduced to a prisoner. What's more, the burden on Xue Chen's body can't allow him to start enjoying it now.
After some shirk, Xue Chen finally left the square with the strength of wine. The Transformation Spirit Determination was running rapidly in his body, and in just a moment, Xue Chen's hands began to sweat non-stop. After a few minutes, Xue Chen's body no longer had a trace of alcoholic power.
"Xue Chen. ”
A familiar voice came from behind him, and Xue Chen turned his head to see that it was the patriarch Bai Longtang and the deputy patriarch Huang Zhongxiao.
Xue Chen bowed slightly and said, "Xue Chen has seen the patriarch and deputy patriarch. ”
Huang Zhong smiled and said, "Xue Chen, why did you leave now? There are still many clansmen waiting to toast you!"
Xue Chen was not strong enough to drink, and he had just forced out the strength of wine, so he was a little sober. Xue Chen smiled bitterly and said a little helplessly.
Huang Zhongxiao nodded and said, "Since you don't like to drink, then don't drink, no one will force you to drink anyway." ”
"It's nature. I just don't know what the two patriarchs are looking for Xue Chen?" Xue Chen asked with a smile.
Bai Longtang glanced at Xue Chen and said, "Xue Chen, now the high-level leaders of the Bai clan are preparing to hold a meeting, it is about this catastrophe, you can come along." ”
As early as when he was at the headquarters of Tiandanmen, Xue Chen heard Lin Zhengtian and the six patriarchs talk about the catastrophe, and several patriarchs also expressed their willingness to use the strength of the whole clan to deal with the catastrophe.
Following the two patriarchs, Xue Chen came to a secret room. Bai Longtang pressed his right hand to the door of the secret room, and a golden light quickly appeared and spread to the entire gate.
Boom!
The door opened from the inside, and following Bai Longtang and Huang Zhongxiao, Xue Chen entered the secret room.
In the secret room, dozens of people sat on the ground in a circle, cultivating with their eyes closed. With the arrival of Bai Longtang, Huang Zhongxiao and Xue Chen, everyone also opened their eyes one after another, revealing smiling faces and getting up to greet each other.
There are still three vacant seats left in the circle, and the two in the center are naturally prepared for the two patriarchs, and the most remote right side is reserved for Xue Chen.
Bai Longtang and Huang Zhongxiao sat down, only to find that Xue Chen was arranged to the most remote right side. Although it was the first time for Xue Chen to participate in a high-level meeting, his strength was already second only to the two patriarchs, and according to the rules that strength determines the order of seats, Xue Chen could sit in the central position. It's just that Xue Chen's strength has not been disclosed, so many people still think that Xue Chen's ability to come in for a meeting is a special reward given by Bai Longtang and Huang Zhongxiao for Xue Chen to come back from the Death Grand Canyon. And based on such an idea, it is understandable to arrange Xue Chen to the most remote right side.
"Xue Chen, you come here. Elder Baiyun, you sit down in turn and give this seat to Xue Chen. Bai Longtang gestured and said to Elder Baiyun.
Elder Bai Yun couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, and let himself give way, could it be that Xue Chen's strength was already second only to the two patriarchs?
"Patriarch, although Xue Chen is talented, he is still young and his strength is slightly insufficient, isn't it ......" Elder Baiyun glanced at Bai Longtang with a little hesitation, but found that Bai Longtang was looking at him expressionlessly, as if he had become angry.
No matter how powerful Elder Ren Baiyun was, he didn't dare to resist the anger of the patriarch, so he took a step back with great interest. Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to take a step back unwillingly.
"Xue Chen's strength, except for me and Lao Huang, should have no opponents in the Bai Clan. Therefore, according to the rule that strength determines the order of seats, Xue Chen has the ability and qualifications to sit in this position. Bai Longtang glanced at everyone and said lightly.
"What, Xue Chen's strength is so strong?"
"Impossible, isn't it? This Xue Chen is only a little worse than the two patriarchs?"
"We've been cultivating for hundreds of years, aren't we as good as a young man who is less than thirty years old?"
Everyone was talking, although everyone knew that Xue Chen had entered the test of life and death for ten years, although everyone knew that Xue Chen was talented, and although everyone knew that Xue Chen was powerful, no one wanted to believe that Xue Chen's strength had surpassed all of them. Because that is a great sorrow for them.
"Patriarch, there is no evidence, if you want to prove that Xue Chen has the ability and qualifications to sit in that position, you must show your true skills. Xue Chen, do you dare to fight with the old man?" a silver-haired old man with a silver cane shouted at Xue Chen with disbelief.
"Elder Bai Liang!"
Huang Zhongxiao shouted angrily at the silver-haired old man: "Elder Bai Liang, you are the reclusive elder of my Bai clan, and you have not asked about the world for many years, why do you have to get along with Xue Chen today?"
"It's not that I can't get along with him, it's that Xue Chen didn't come up with anything to prove that he has the strength to sit in that position. If Baiyun were sitting there, I wouldn't say a word. But Xue Chen has only been in the Bai Clan for a few years, and in terms of qualifications and strength, he can't sit there! Unless, he has that strength!" Elder Bai Liang raised his head and said.
Huang Zhongxiao was about to speak, but was stopped by Bai Longtang's look. Huang Zhongxiao glanced at Bai Longtang with questions, Bai Longtang did not speak, but glanced at Xue Chen not far away with a smile.
Huang Zhongxiao nodded, and immediately understood the meaning. Elder Bai Liang was an elder who was a group of elders earlier than Elder Bai Yun, and although his strength was not as good as the two patriarchs, in the eyes of many people in the Bai Clan, his strength was extremely strong. And this time, Elder Bai Liang was also the best candidate to test Xue Chen's strength.
"Xue Chen, do you dare to fight?" Elder Bai Liang looked at Xue Chen with a smile.
Xue Chen looked up, and saw that this Elder Bai Liang had a pair of small slit-like eyes, countless wrinkles climbed up his eyebrows, and the whole person looked like a sick old man, how could he have a little strong demeanor?
"Why don't you dare?"
