Chapter 1963

"Since you're here, we should meet. Chen Clan Leader, please lead the way."

The Great Prophet did not refuse. The Chen Clan Leader was relieved. He really needed the Great Prophet to calm people down. Fortunately, the Great Prophet was reasonable.

Gu Chen followed behind the two of them and acted like a junior. He was happy to hand over the task of dealing with the Chen Clan Elders to the Great Prophet.

The meeting of the elders was soon held at the Chen Clan's ancestral temple on Mount Dingkong. The fourteen elders of the Chen Clan were all present, led by the Great Elder, Chen Shanming.

"I've long heard of the Luo Clan Great Prophet's name, but I've never had the chance to meet you. Today, my wish is finally fulfilled."

Seeing the Great Prophet, Chen Shanming spoke enthusiastically. The other Chen Clan Elders also agreed.

As a junior of the Chen Clan, Gu Chen's status was the lowest. Thus, the Chen Clan Elders put him aside.

"You're too kind, Great Elder."

The Great Prophet responded with a smile. Everyone quickly took their seats and chatted happily.

While the two sides were talking, Gu Chen sized up the Chen Clan Elders and nodded to himself.

The fourteen Chen Clan Elders were all at the seven-fold realm. The Great Elder, in particular, was at the peak of the seven-fold realm. He was probably even stronger than the Chen Clan Leader.

Although the Chen Clan did not have a Saint, the number of Elders and their strength far exceeded that of ordinary clans and sects. They were indeed a large clan.

"It's a pleasure to meet the Great Prophet. However, the Clan Leader has secretly cooperated with the Luo Clan behind our backs. This is too sudden. I have some questions that I need the Great Prophet to answer. I hope the Great Prophet can understand."

While the atmosphere was harmonious, Chen Shanming finally spoke and got to the point.

"Great Elder, please speak." The Great Prophet stroked his beard.

"Rumor has it that the Great Prophet has entered the Saint State. Is this true?" Chen Shanming asked cautiously.

"That's right."

The Great Prophet nodded. Then, he released a bit of the pressure of a Saint State. The Chen Clan Elders felt it and their faces were filled with joy. They even felt a sense of relief.

The Chen Clan had been keeping their heads down all these years because there was no Saint in the clan. They did not dare to provoke the two Holy Lands.

When the news of the change of ownership of Da Sheng reached the Dingkong Mountain, and when they learned that the descendants of the Chen Clan were involved in it, their first reaction was not joy, but fear.

One had to know that even though the Chen Tribe had been living in seclusion for the past few years, the two Holy Lands had been constantly finding trouble with them, devouring their territory and resources. It could be said that they had long since flashed their knives, eager to draw blood from the Chen Tribe's neck.

The reason why they had been restraining themselves was because they were afraid of their missing ancestor, afraid of his power in the past. However, as time passed, their ancestor's reputation would be useless sooner or later.

Under such circumstances, the younger generation of the Chen Clan had actually participated in the subversion of Da Cheng. This would definitely arouse the sensitivity of the two Holy Lands. If they used this as an excuse to start a war, the consequences would be dire!

Before the patriarch returned, many of the elders' hearts could be said to be tormented. There was too much news about Great Cheng, and they did not know which was true and which was false.

But now, they could confirm that the Great Prophet of the Luo Sect had indeed reached the Saint Realm, so they were relieved!

Rather than saying that the Chen Clan was afraid of the two Hallowed Grounds, it was more accurate to say that they were afraid of the two Saints in the Hallowed Grounds. The strength possessed by Saints was overwhelming, and if a Saint personally came, the Chen Clan would not be able to resist them with their current strength.

However, things were different now that they had the Great Prophet as an ally. The Chen Clan could be considered to have a backer, and they would not have to be on tenterhooks!

After all, their ancestor had gone missing all those years ago, and the Dao Ancestor had spoken behind their back, causing the powers that had once been on good terms with the Chen Clan to isolate them. Moreover, no Saint was willing to lend them a helping hand, so the Chen Clan was in a difficult situation.

Even though they could not confirm exactly what cultivation realm the Saint of the Luo Sect had reached, he was still a huge deterrent, and no power dared to act rashly against the Chen Clan!

After confirming the Great Prophet's strength, the minds of the Chen Clan's elders immediately became active.

Previously, they had been thinking about how to disassociate the Chen Clan from the two Holy Lands, but now, they were thinking about how close the alliance between the patriarch and the Great Prophet was.

There were no eternal enemies or eternal friends in this world. It was true that the Great Prophet had used the Chen Clan's help to take control of the Pei Dynasty, but now that he had succeeded, the Chen Clan, as an ally, might bring trouble. Only the heavens knew if there was a possibility that he would burn the bridge after crossing it.

Even if he burned the bridge after crossing it, to what extent could he help the Chen Clan? Whether he would be willing to go to war with the other Saints for the Chen Clan was also unknown!

In fact, the reason why the various powers had sent envoys over was because they wanted to understand the specific situation.

The attitude of this new Saint would determine the future of the Chen Clan!

Chen Shanming thought about it seriously, and he quickly glanced at Gu Chen in the field.

This genius that the patriarch had hidden was undoubtedly the key to his relationship with the Great Prophet.

The Chen Clan had their own intelligence channels, so they naturally knew that the Great Prophet had not shown his face at all during the process of overthrowing the Blazing Sun Clan and unifying Great Cheng. Everything had been planned by this junior of theirs.

Although they weren't sure if he had always been acting according to the Great Prophet's orders, it was clear that the Great Prophet valued him. His influence on the current Pei Dynasty was obvious to all.

If they wanted to strengthen the relationship between the Chen Clan and the Luo Sect, and even get a share of the pie from the new Pei Dynasty, this person was definitely the key!

"I heard that the envoys of the Jade Clan and the two Sacred Lands have come to the Chen Clan. How does the Great Elder plan to reply to them?"

The Great Prophet took the initiative to ask, interrupting Chen Shanming's thoughts.

Chen Shanming came back to his senses, and his attitude towards the Great Prophet was clearly more respectful than before. He cupped his hands and said, "Please advise me, Great Prophet."

"I don't dare advise you, but you can tell the three major powers about the Old Man's visit, Great Elder. In addition, the Luo Sect has no ulterior motives toward the Jade Dynasty. In fact, the Old Man has already sent envoys to the Jade Capital and the two Sacred Lands, hoping that the two dynasties can coexist peacefully and have a lasting friendship. "

The Great Prophet spoke frankly with assurance. Hearing this, Chen Shanming and the other elders immediately felt at ease.

Although they had a sage as an ally, if the Luo Sect was ambitious and coveted the land of the Jade Dynasty, the Chen Clan would be in a difficult position.

They couldn't give up on this ally, and he was already bound to them. However, if the Pei Dynasty and the Jade Dynasty became enemies, they would also be in a difficult position within the Jade Dynasty's territory.

The Pei Dynasty was newly established, so they should reduce their enemies and accumulate strength for development. The Great Prophet was a wise man, so they didn't have to worry too much.

The Luo Sect's decision was also beneficial to the Chen Clan. With such an ally, the Chen Clan might be able to slowly test the waters and take back some of the benefits that originally belonged to them.

"If the Chen Clan has any issues in the future, contact the Old Man. Clan Leader Chen, Great Elder, let's follow the old rules. Let Yunfei contact the Old Man."

After comforting the Chen Clan's elders, the Great Prophet specially said this.

Hearing this, Chen Shanming was even more certain that Gu Chen was the key to maintaining the friendship between the two forces. He secretly had an idea.
