Chapter 2031 Can't Be Wrong Again
Chen Taichong's words were sonorous and powerful.
If it were any other members of the Chen clan, they would be inspired by these words in an instant, and their blood would be on fire.
But Chen Xi didn't react at all. He didn't have the slightest sense of joy about being accepted as a member of the Chen clan, and he didn't even have the slightest interest in becoming the patriarch of the Chen clan in the future.
Deep in his heart, he still belongs to the Songyan Chen family, the "family" he grew up with since he was a child.
Originally, Chen Taichong was looking at Chen Xi with a look of expectation, but to his disappointment, Chen Xi's reaction was too cold, which made him suddenly realize that his thoughts seemed to be unable to resonate with this little guy at all.
Chen Taichong looked at Wu Xuechan, then at Tang Xian, couldn't help sighing again, and said, "I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that."
There was already a hint of disappointment in the voice.
"The Chen clan has countless heroes. I think Chen Daoyuan is very suitable to take over the position of patriarch. What do seniors think?"
Wu Xuechan smiled slightly.
"This child is indeed rare, but it's a pity that he has a boundless courage."
Chen Taichong said casually.
"The fire is not enough, you can use time to sharpen it. I think the future prospects of this son will be higher than Chen Lingkong, which is really rare."
Tang Xian on the side said seriously.
"It's natural."
Chen Taichong's expression had returned to calm, he glanced at Chen Xi, and said, "It's just a pity, compared to this kid in front of him, this kid Dao Yuan is a little inferior."
Obviously, this Chen Taichong favored Chen Xi very much and appreciated him very much, and he even did not hesitate to let him join the Chen clan.
Unfortunately, Chen Xi's attitude had revealed everything, which made 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 my request?"
Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian looked at each other, and finally they all turned their gazes to Chen Xi.
"Junior brother, you still need to make up your own mind on this matter."
Wu Xuechan said in a low voice.
"But I don't know exactly what this battle of protecting the Dao is."
Chen Xi smiled wryly.
"Don't worry about it so much, as long as you agree, the old man promises to reunite you with Lingjun and his wife, how about it?"
Chen Taichong said quickly.
Chen Xi thought for a while, then looked at the two senior brothers, and saw that the two of them did not have any objections. He knew that this matter was not a bad thing for him, otherwise the two senior brothers would definitely not agree immediately.
"Okay, then the junior would be more respectful than obedient."
Chen Xi took a deep breath and made a decision.
"it is good!"
A look of relief appeared on Chen Taichong's eyebrows, and immediately he couldn't help but said, "Little guy, do you really stop thinking about the old man's suggestion just now?"
His words were full of earnestness, obviously he still did not give up, hoping to bring Chen Xi into the Chen Clan.
This made Chen Xi speechless again, and he refused without hesitation.
Seeing this, Chen Taichong sighed again. In the end, he promised to bring Chen Xi to see Chen Lingjun and his wife at noon tomorrow.
At this point, Chen Xi and the others did not linger any longer, and got up to bid farewell and left.
……
wow~
Not long after Chen Xi and the others left, bursts of divine brilliance appeared in this simple and primitive stone house.
Immediately, one figure after another emerged, and they sat cross-legged casually, as if they had come to their own territory.
Among the entire Chen clan, only those living fossil-level antiques dared to live so casually in Chen Taichong's place.
"Pity."
Chen Taichong sighed.
"That little baby is indeed good, but since he is unwilling, we don't have to force him."
A gray-robed man said casually.
"You guys don't understand, the combat power displayed by this son is naturally not that great, and the future path is destined to surpass the past and the present!"
Chen Taichong's eyes were bright, and he said solemnly, "Don't forget, he is the ninth victim of this era. You should know better than me what all this means."
Everyone else was silent, or frowned, or pondered, or sighed endlessly.
Having reached their level, one naturally understands how unique Chen Xi is as the ninth person who should be robbed in this era.
"If it doesn't work, we can talk to Ling Jun and ask him to come forward and keep this son here."
The gray-robed man suggested.
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate. In this case, Shenyan Mountain may not agree."
The other shook his head endlessly.
"In my opinion, you still overestimate this son's ability. Without him, can my Chen clan survive?"
Some people disagree.
Seeing this, Chen Taichong couldn't help shaking his head, remained silent for a long time, and then said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this topic, since this son has agreed to represent our Chen clan and participate in the battle to protect the Dao 500 years later, it is enough gone."
With that said, he stood up and walked out of the stone house.
"Where are you going?"
"Go and see Lingkong, I'm worried that he will do something stupid."
……
In front of the Hall of Asking Heart.
Chen Lingkong stood there alone with his hands behind his back, silent.
He looked gloomy, and there was a look of anxiety and anger that could not be shaken off between his brows.
"Why? Why is this? Let their family reunite? Did you just abandon that treasure like this?"
"Damn Wu Xuechan, it must be his idea behind the scenes, otherwise, at that moment, how could the ancestor be alarmed?"
"Forget it, since you are so decisive, don't blame me for being ruthless. For the sake of the entire clan, what's the point of bearing some infamy?"
"Brother, sister-in-law...you really gave birth to a good son, unfortunately, it may be difficult for you to be reunited in this life..."
After conflicting in his heart for a long time, Chen Lingkong seemed to have made a certain decision, suddenly raised his head, and looked deep into the Hall of Asking Heart.
Finally, he walked towards it.
Before the start of the sacrificial hall, he had been here once, and met Chen Lingjun and his wife. That conversation was very unpleasant, and it also frustrated his purpose again.
But all of this at this moment... is no longer important!
"Let's go back."
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the Hall of Asking Heart, barely standing in front of Chen Lingkong.
This person's face is pale, plain and simple, solemn and ancient, it is Chen Taichong impressively.
"Ancestor?"
Chen Lingkong was startled for a moment, then his face suddenly changed, he vaguely guessed that his purpose might have been seen through.
"Since Lingjun no longer cares about the hatred from back then, why do you care about it? Could it be... that it wasn't enough for you to kill Lingjun once, and you want to do it a second time?"
Chen Taichong looked indifferent, but there was an imperceptible complexity in the depths of his eyes.
"Old Ancestor, I just want to get back that important treasure. You should understand my wish, which is that one day I can lead our entire Chen clan to rise again and seek the position of that superior tribe!"
Chen Lingkong took a deep breath, his expression became calm, and he said seriously, "You should be clear, I have never had any selfishness from the beginning to the end! Everything is for the benefit of the clan, otherwise... I would not have done such a thing back then Come!"
"Of course I know, otherwise I definitely wouldn't 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 these years has been very disappointing."
Chen Lingkong suddenly became excited, and gritted his teeth: "Isn't it because of the lack of that treasure? If I have him, I will definitely not be worse than him back then!"
Chen Taichong frowned, and said: "Aren't you willing to admit it even now? Well, let me say it again, that treasure belongs to Lingjun himself, not our Chen clan!"
"What a joke! Isn't he, Chen Lingjun, a member of the Chen clan? Since he belongs to the Chen clan, the thing in his hand should also belong to the Chen clan!"
Chen Lingkong argued sharply.
"enough!"
Chen Taichong's eyes burst out with a gleam of coldness, "I made some mistakes, and I won't just watch them make a second mistake."
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and walked towards the distance, "If you find your way back, follow me now, otherwise..."
The words were not finished, but the meaning was clearly revealed.
Chen Lingkong was stunned in place as if struck by lightning, his expression was cloudy and uncertain. It took a long time before he smiled bitterly and murmured: "Am I wrong? Am I wrong..."
He seemed to have lost his soul, and the whole portrait suddenly lost all fighting spirit and hope, and became dead silent.
"Everyone was at fault for what happened back then, including me."
Chen Taichong didn't turn back, and said calmly, "So, these mistakes can never go on forever, otherwise, it will only ruin the entire clan."
"is it?"
Chen Lingkong followed behind Chen Taichong like a walking corpse, his eyes were empty.
It's unimaginable what kind of emotion it is that makes a big man in the Daoist Realm look like this.
It was also from this day that Chen Lingkong seemed to have evaporated from the world, completely reclusive and never showed up again. No one knew what the reason for all this was.
……
"Eldest brother, what happened to the battle to protect the Dao?"
As soon as he returned to the cave, Chen Xi couldn't help asking.
Wu Xuechan said casually: "Junior Brother Tang Xian, tell me."
"That's a long story."
Tang Xian sat cross-legged, thought for a while, and then said, "In short, every ten thousand years, all tribes in the entire lineage of the Dao Protector God Clan will select a nine-star who is most likely to advance to the Dao Master Realm Territory Master, gather them together and go to the Conferred God Mountain to fight for the Dao protection."
"Calculating the time, exactly 500 years later, it will be the time for another Dao protection battle. At that time, junior brother, you just go to participate."
These words were really concise and to the point. Hearing that Chen Xi understood a little bit, but when he thought about it carefully, many doubts came to his mind.
Why is there a Daoist War?
And why should the Nine Star Territory Lord who is most likely to be promoted to Dao Lord Realm be selected separately to participate?
Is there anything important in this?
The most important thing is that I am now the five-star domain master. After 500 years, who can guarantee that I will be promoted to the nine-star domain master?
Since he was promoted to the Nine Star Territory Lord, is there any hope for himself at that time to be promoted to the Taoist Realm?
