Bloodline Ares

Chapter 261 The Patriarch Is Dead
In the living room, there were only Xia Chen and the head of the Ning family at this time, and the others were repelled by the head of the Ning family. Therefore, the head of the Ning family couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly asked: "Elder Xia, why didn't the ancestor Come back together?"

"Ancestor?"

Xia Chen was silent, and he didn't speak, but directly took out a jar from the treasure bag, and handed it to the Patriarch of the Ning family with a solemn expression.

"This... what is this?"

Patriarch Ning's hands were trembling. In fact, he had already vaguely guessed it, but he still couldn't believe it, or he didn't want to believe it.

There was a hint of sadness on Xia Chen's face, and he said in a low voice: "This is the ashes of the ancestor. The ancestor died because of the imminent deadline. Let me hand over the ashes and his treasure bag to the Patriarch."

Afterwards, Xia Chen also handed the Hundred Treasure Bag to the Patriarch of the Ning Family. Xia Chen didn't even look at the contents of the Hundred Treasure Bag to show his respect for the ancestor of the Ning Family.This patriarch of the Ning family is a strong man that Xia Chen admires very much, and he is also very grateful to the patriarch of the Ning family. Therefore, he has made up his mind long ago that he will definitely fulfill his promise to the patriarch of the Ning family.

"Old... Patriarch is dead?"

The patriarch of the Ning family was startled, and then sat on the chair with an expression of incomparable grief. He knew that once the patriarch died, the sky of the Ning family would collapse. In the future, the Ning family would face a real test. He, the patriarch, has no confidence either.

"Block the news, you must block the news! Immediately call the representatives of the various branches of the Ning family and the elders to discuss important matters together."

The Patriarch of the Ning family made a decisive decision. He knew that this news would definitely leak out. What he can do now is to call the members of the Ning family to discuss as soon as possible, try to minimize the impact of the ancestor's death, and make complete preparations.

Afterwards, the Patriarch bowed slightly to Xia Chen again: "Thank you Elder Xia, the ancestor relied heavily on Elder Xia during his lifetime, I am afraid that my Ning family will rely on Elder Xia in the future."

Even though the Patriarch is not at ease with the current Xia Chen, after all Xia Chen is only at the first level of the Profound Core Realm, and he is also shocked that Xia Chen can condense the Profound Core.However, now that Xia Chen's strength is too weak, he wants to give the Ning family as much time as possible, and also give Xia Chen more time. At that time, with Xia Chen's potential, he will naturally grow to a certain level, enough to protect the Ning family .

Xia Chen turned sideways, avoiding the patriarch's bow. He shook his head and said, "I owe my ancestors as well as the Ning family. I will naturally do my best to protect the Ning family."

Hearing Xia Chen's statement, the head of the Ning family was relieved, so he left, and hastily issued orders to call everyone in the Ning family to discuss.

Not long after Xia Chen returned to the courtyard, he ran into Ning Caiwei who was visiting. During this time, Ning Caiwei's mood had completely calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, she didn't seem to hate Xia Chen that much. Therefore, when she heard After Xia Chen came back, he came to Xia Chen immediately.

Ning Caiwei obviously didn't know about the death of the ancestor of the Ning family. It seems that the Patriarch of the Ning family really kept it a secret, not even telling his own daughter.

Xia Chen didn't practice either. He knew that he would go to the Ning family's meeting soon. Before the ancestor of the Ning family was alive, Xia Chen was designated as the elder of the Ning family, and his status was second only to the head of the family. Xia Chen is also eligible to participate.

Sure enough, two hours later, a child from the Ning family came to invite Xia Chen to the hall to attend the meeting. After Xia Chen stood up and said goodbye to Ning Caiwei, he went directly to the hall.

At this time, the hall of the Ning family was already full of people, among them were many elders that Xia Chen had met, and these elders were all introduced by the ancestor of the Ning family when he was with the patriarch of the Ning family.Therefore, these elders were also very familiar with Xia Chen, and they nodded their heads one after another.

On the other side, Xia Chen had never met some of the people sitting there. These people were all collateral descendants of the Ning family, but they were real power figures among the collateral descendants. They were let out, one by one. They are all in charge of power, but they cannot enter the core layer of the Ning family.

Now that the ancestor of the Ning family is dead, it is related to the life and death of the Ning family. Naturally, these collateral descendants of the real power faction should be invited to discuss. These are the two most powerful forces of the Ning family at present, and they are now gathered together. .

Xia Chen took a look at these people, but he didn't know any of them, and unlike the elders of the Ning family, none of these people looked at Xia Chen very friendly, and even had a hint of hostility.

Xia Chen frowned, faintly feeling that there might be some twists and turns in today's meeting, but he didn't care too much about it. With his current strength, although he couldn't say that he could solve all the troubles, it was enough to protect himself.So, he looked to both sides, only to find that there was only one vacant seat, and it was the first one on the very front left.

This position is not easy. Xia Chen used to sit in this position when there was the ancestor of the Ning family. people's dissatisfaction.After all, next to Xia Chen, there are some strong people at the ninth level of Xuandan. It is too eye-catching for him to sit on a mere person with the first level of Xuandan.

Seemingly aware of Xia Chen's concerns, Patriarch Ning pointed to the first vacant seat on the left and said, "Elder Xia, hurry up and sit down, we will discuss important matters of the Ning family soon."

This undoubtedly showed the Patriarch's attitude. He absolutely supported Xia Chen, and he completely followed the wishes of the ancestor of the Ning family. Even if the patriarch died, the Patriarch of the Ning family still supported Xia Chen.Perhaps, this is also the advantage of the head of the Ning family. He never violates the decisions made by the ancestors, and will support them with all his strength.

Xia Chen knew that he couldn't object at this time, so he went straight up, and those collateral power faction figures on the opposite side frowned, looking at Xia Chen with some unkind eyes, but because of the authority of the ancestor, he dared not be opposed to.These people still don't know that the ancestor of the Ning family is dead. If they knew, the Ning family would not be at peace.

"Okay, everyone is here. The reason to call you today is because of a major event that concerns the life and death of my Ning family."

The Patriarch of the Ning family glanced at him. He is still very prestigious. Many people secretly wondered, what could be related to the life and death of the Ning family?
With the death of the ancestor of the Long family, the Ning family is truly the largest family in Huancheng, and its power can be said to be in full swing. What life and death can there be at this time?

Seeing that there was a hint of doubt in everyone's eyes, Patriarch Ning took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Today's news is very important, so after getting the news, no one is allowed to disclose the news, and those who violate it will be punished as betraying the family." !"

Hearing the Patriarch's stern tone, everyone's hearts sank slightly, as if something big had really happened.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more dignified, and then Patriarch Ning said: "Old Ancestor, because the deadline is approaching, he is already dead!"

"boom".

This news was really shocking. Everyone's minds went blank. The Dinghaishenzhen of the Ning family is actually dead?In fact, since the ancestor fought with the ancestor of the Long family, and then the ancestor of the Long family died, some people had guessed the ending, but they didn't expect it to be so fast. They thought that the ancestor should be able to support it for another year or two. Dead now.

This is indeed shocking news, which concerns the life and death of the entire Ning family.

"Patriarch, what arrangements did the ancestor leave behind?"

Some of the elders couldn't help but ask, the ancestor of the Ning family has always been the sea god of the Ning family, and the Ning family has relied too much on the ancestor. Now even though the ancestor is dead, they still hope that the ancestor can make some arrangements.

"Arrangement? Of course there is. In fact, the ancestor made the arrangement a long time ago. The level that the ancestor set in the illusion tower is the last arrangement of the ancestor. Elder Xia has won the trust of the ancestor, and Elder Xia has amazing potential , the attainment in illusion is even more unimaginable, inheriting the mantle of our ancestors. Now, we only need time, and when Elder Xia has a breakthrough in illusion, then our Ning family will be safe."

Patriarch Ning looked at Xia Chen, and explained the previous arrangement of the ancestor in detail.

"Swish".

Everyone's eyes were on Xia Chen, those elders were better, but as for those collateral real power figures, they all looked at him with disdain.

"Elder Xia's talent is indeed astonishing. He has already condensed a mysterious core, and his future is boundless."

"Since the ancestor has made an arrangement, then we will follow it. Besides, besides the Long family, who dares to be careful about my Ning family?"

Most of the elders actually support Xia Chen, especially knowing that Xia Chen has passed the checkpoints arranged by the ancestors. Many checkpoints even these elders cannot pass. Therefore, they also admire Xia Chen very much, at least in terms of illusion. , they felt that Xia Chen had surpassed them.

In fact, Xia Chen's illusion is only the initial stage of one thought, one world, and it is not as good as these elders who have been immersed in the way of illusion for hundreds of years. It's just that he has the will of martial arts, so he broke through the illusion tower. , can be regarded as a "trick", but these elders are not clear about the details.

"Elders, you are all in the fantasy city. You don't know the pressure my Ning family is facing outside. The reason why our Ning family has so many cultivation resources is not obtained in the fantasy city. We, collateral children, were sent out. Huancheng, working hard in other places, contributes most of the cultivation resources every year, and the reason why we can persevere is because of the existence of our ancestors, those forces will not force us too much."

"However, the ancestor is dead. No matter how hard we block the news, we can't really hide it. Once those forces know that the ancestor is dead, hmph, by that time, the life of our Ning family children will be miserable." It's not easy. Therefore, I propose that our collateral children only contribute [-]% of the cultivation resources every month. Only in this way, with enough benefits, our collateral children will have the motivation to continue to work hard. If the family is not in decline, what do the head of the family and the elders think?"

A figure from the real power faction of the Ning family suddenly spoke.However, as soon as these words came out, the Patriarch and many elders were furious.
