Chapter 17: Dealing with the Traitors

In the ancestral land of the Chen family, in the conference room, the atmosphere was solemn, no one dared to speak casually, and no one dared to gasp for breath.

Everyone looked cautiously at the young man standing in the hall of the conference room, with a respectful look on his face, not daring to offend in the slightest.

Although Chen Jian looks like he is only twenty-three or fourteen years old, don't think that because he is young, you can despise and snub him.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that such a seemingly harmless young man would actually be the legendary innate martial arts master powerhouse who dominates one side and dominates one domain.

It was precisely because Chen Jian showed his terrifying strength that he easily suppressed a rebellion that was about to succeed.

At this time, the four elders and the members of the Xuanwu Guard stood aside obediently, not daring to make the slightest rash move.

They knew that in front of the Innate Martial Dao Grandmaster, any struggle would be futile, and they could only wait for Chen Jian to make the final ruling.

But before that, the four elders had to fight for a glimmer of life for their own lives.

"My lord, I was wrong, I was deceived by Chen Tianyou, he said that he had a token of the head of the family on him, as long as I helped him succeed in seizing power, he would make me the chief manager of the Chen family's ancestral land!"

"I'm really obsessed with ghosts for a while, so I can do such a stupid thing, please spare me this time for the sake of my conscientious work for the Chen family for so many years. ”

The four elders knelt on the ground, constantly kowtowing to Chen Jian and begging for mercy, and he snorted and cried.

The words of the four elders made the three great elders standing on the side can't help but recall the bits and pieces with the four elders, and a trace of compassion rose in their hearts.

"My lord, although the four elders have done such a rebellious thing this time, fortunately, they have not caused any serious consequences, and they should not be guilty of death. ”

"What's more, if a person is not a sage, who can do nothing? The fourth elder has grown up in the ancestral land of the Chen family since he was a child, and has made a lot of contributions to the Chen family, maybe he is just confused for a while, you can spare his life. ”

"However, the four elders joined forces with others to compete for power and power, violating the ancestral teachings of the Chen family, and they should not be tolerated!"

"Therefore, the four elders can be exempted from capital crimes, and living crimes cannot be escaped, you can abolish his cultivation, imprison him in the dungeon, and never be able to come out, which is also the heaviest punishment. ”

The three Great Elders asked Chen Jian for instructions, hoping that Chen Jian would not kill the four elders and show mercy to his subordinates.

For outsiders, the demands of the three Great Elders were a bit excessive, after all, the four elders had already betrayed the Chen family and united with outsiders to seize power and usurp the throne.

If it weren't for Chen Jian's appearance, I'm afraid that the three Great Elders would have become ghosts under the sword.

But now, the three Great Elders actually wanted to spare the lives of the four elders regardless of their previous suspicions, which made Chen Jian feel very surprised.

In fact, if you think about it from the standpoint of the three Great Elders, everyone can understand.

Because all the dead soldiers of the Chen family were orphans who were raised by the Chen family from the orphanage, and the same group of orphans not only ate and lived together, trained together, and even performed tasks together.

Therefore, in these decades of life together, they already have a relationship like brothers and sisters, and this relationship cannot be easily parted.

As the so-called tiger poison does not eat children, let alone the three great elders?

Even if the four elders did such a rebellious thing, the three great elders were ruthless and took the lives of the four elders.

Chen Jian couldn't ignore the request of the three Great Elders, because although he had the family master's token in his hand, if he wanted to control the power of the entire Chen family's ancestral land, he still needed the help of the three elders.

Because, in the ancestral land of the Chen family, the three great elders are highly respected and respected by all the dead soldiers of the Chen family.

Moreover, the three elders were the captains of the Qinglong Guard, the Vermilion Bird Guard, and the White Tiger Guard, and they controlled two-thirds of the power of the Chen family's ancestral land.

If Chen Jian wanted the entire Chen family's ancestral land to be used by him, it would be very difficult if he didn't rely on the strength of the three elders.

Even if Chen Jian finally used his strong strength to force all the dead soldiers of the Chen family to obey his orders, it was inevitable that they would deviate from morality.

If the dead soldiers of the Chen family did not do their best when helping him, I am afraid that there would be a lot of hidden dangers.

This is not what Chen Jian wants to see, he wants to have a group of available people to go to the soup for him, and he will not hesitate.

Chen Jian looked at the four elders on the side, his face was gloomy, and the murderous intent in his eyes kept flashing.

Chen Jian's most hated thing in his life is a traitor, and anyone who betrays only has three words in his dictionary, that is, there is no forgiveness.

But the attitude of the three elders, Chen Jian couldn't help but take it into consideration, which put him in a dilemma.

"That's it, I just returned to the Chen family, so I shouldn't show my edge too much, why don't you give the three elders a face, be a favor, and spare the lives of the four elders?"

"I think that from now on, the three elders will be grateful to him and will wholeheartedly assist him, control the entire Chen family ancestral land, and do things for him. ”

Thinking of this, Chen Jian's mood improved slightly, and he had already convinced himself.

"Fourth Elder, you have violated the ancestral teachings, united with others, seized power and usurped the throne, and you have rebelled against the law, and you should be punished according to your crimes!

"However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, I will abolish your cultivation, put you in a dungeon, imprisoned for life, and never come out, four elders, can you plead guilty?"

Chen Jian's face was indifferent, his eyes were calm, he looked at the four elders, and announced in a cold tone.

"The little one confesses his guilt, pleads guilty, and thanks to the adult's grace of not killing. ”

When the four elders heard this, their faces turned pale, but in the face of Chen Jian, a strong innate martial arts master, he dared to be angry in his heart, so he could only bow his head and grit his teeth to accept it.

However, when the four elders bowed their heads, no one noticed a vicious, ruthless and resolute look flashing in his eyes.

"Third Elder, then please carry out this order. ”

Seeing this, Chen Jian raised his eyes to look at the three elders standing on the side, and gestured.

Chen Jian knew very well that the Great Elder was a person who valued love and righteousness, and if he was allowed to abolish the cultivation of the Four Elders himself, I was afraid that the Great Elder would be unbearable and would show mercy to his subordinates.

But the three elders are different, Chen Jian through this short period of observation, he found that the three elders are a person with an upright personality and will take revenge.

Just now, when the three elders were softened and their whole body was weak, they beat the three elders fiercely and knocked the three elders unconscious.

This hatred has always been kept in mind by the three elders, so it is most suitable for Chen Jian to let the three elders carry out the order to abolish the cultivation of the four elders.
