Chapter 1975

Gu Chen's explanation seemed reasonable, but it was still perfunctory.

"We're afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. When will the Chen Clan have a chance to rise?"

Chen Shanming shook his head, disagreeing with Gu Chen's idea. In his opinion, the two holy lands would never let go of their vigilance against the Chen Clan. Since there was a suitable opportunity, they should fight for it.

"Great Elder, I can understand how you feel, but the Great Prophet has already warned me. His attitude is very firm, and he will not allow the Chen Clan to act recklessly and make unnecessary enemies for him."

Seeing that it was difficult to persuade him, Gu Chen simply brought out the Great Prophet and made him the villain.

"Haha, it seems that the Great Prophet does not dare to offend Saint Hakone and Saint Liu!"

Fourth Elder Chen Qinghe sneered, a trace of disdain and contempt in his eyes.

The other elders did not dare to speak as boldly as him, but they all thought the same.

In fact, it was understandable. Even though the Great Prophet of the Luo Gate had become a Saint, he had only broken through recently. How could he be compared to Saint Hakone and Saint Liu, who had been Saints for many years?

It was a taboo to extend one's hand into the territory of another Saint. Without enough confidence in facing two Saints, the Great Prophet naturally did not want to offend them.

Anyway, the Luo Gate's base was the Pei Dynasty. At this time, ensuring the stability of the Pei Dynasty was the most important thing. In all fairness, if they were the Great Prophet, they would not dare to rashly challenge the other Saints at this time.

To put it bluntly, the benefits that the Chen Clan could bring to the Luo Gate were limited. The Great Prophet was not willing to take this risk for them!

At this point, there was no point in making things difficult for Gu Chen. The elders were all dispirited.

"Can't the Chen Clan make our own decisions without the Luo Gate's permission? Even though we were suppressed by all sides in the past, at least we still have our dignity. Now that we're living under someone else's roof, what's the point? "

The Fourth Elder, Chen Qinghe, was still unwilling to give up and spoke with conviction. Gu Chen could not help but take another look at him.

These words could be said to be the thoughts of many of the elders. It was such a good opportunity to be given up just like that. It was really uncomfortable.

Since when did the Chen Clan need to rely on others to survive?

A strong sense of grievance lingered in the hearts of the elders. The Second Elder's eyes flickered and he said, "Why don't we act first and report later? As long as we snatch the territory, the two Holy Lands will definitely agree that it's the Great Prophet's will. At that time, the Great Prophet won't be able to explain himself. At most, he'll reprimand us, but he won't fall out with us, right? "

Many elders were moved by these words. Although this was a bold move that might anger the Great Prophet, it was indeed feasible.

The Chen Clan had already formed an alliance with the Luo Sect. The Luo Sect wouldn't break the alliance just because of this, right?

If they really tore up the alliance, the Luo Sect would only have one more enemy.

"Since the Great Prophet is afraid of offending the two Holy Lands, would he dare to turn against the Chen Clan? Although our Chen Clan doesn't have a Saint overseeing it now, with the Sky Stabilizing Mountain here, any Saint would have to think twice before attacking us. "

"Moreover, our ancestor has only gone missing. Even the Muhuang Dynasty doesn't dare to exterminate our Chen Clan because of this. If the Great Prophet turns against us, he'll only be in a difficult position."

"In this way, if we act first and report later, he'll most likely have no choice but to swallow this grievance. He won't have to break the alliance!"

The Third Elder analyzed the situation seriously. This time, even more elders were moved. Even the Great Elder began to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter.

When Gu Chen saw this, he had a bad feeling. He had to admit that the elders' analysis was correct. If the Chen Clan really went against his will and snatched the territory, he would have no choice but to acquiesce to their actions.

The reason was simple. The Chen Clan was an important pawn of his in the Jade Dynasty. He would not give up on it.

However, this was not the right time for the Chen Clan to make a move. If the Chen Clan got involved now, there would be no guarantee that there would be no variables.

Moreover, the Chen Clan might not really be united. Otherwise, there would be no need for the Chen Clan to hide the fact that he wasn't the real Chen Yunfei from all the elders.

Gu Chen's eyes flickered as he glanced at all the elders present. If the Chen Clan rashly entered the world before the traitor was eliminated, they would suffer a great loss.

Gu Chen was pondering what he could say to make the elders give up. At this time, a voice came from afar.

"The conflict between the two Holy Lands is getting more and more intense. Their losses are almost at a point where they can't bear it anymore. If we, the Chen Clan, enter the world at this time, aren't you afraid that they'll make up for it, bury the hatchet, and attack us instead, using us to make up for their losses?"

The one who spoke was the Chen Clan Leader. He transmitted his voice through the air, but he did not show himself. His words shocked many elders and made them break out in a cold sweat.

"Act first and report later. If we offend the Great Prophet and he supports the two Holy Lands to attack us, what should we do then?"

"Don't forget that the Chen Clan is useless now. If giving up on the Chen Clan can be exchanged for the two Holy Lands' support for the Luo Gate in other areas, then the Great Prophet might consider it!"

Clan Leader Chen said again. The expressions of the Elders couldn't help but change. Indeed, they hadn't considered this before!

Gu Chen could not help but admire the Chen Clan Leader's eloquence when he saw the elders, who were originally in high spirits, quickly become hesitant.

The Chen Clan Leader was well aware of the inside story of the alliance between the two sides. He knew that even if the Chen Clan acted first and reported later, he and the Great Prophet would not be able to tear up the alliance because he had something on them.

However, the Chen Clan Leader still deliberately lied to make the elders give up. It was clear that he did not support the Chen Clan entering the world at this time.

Did the Chen Clan Leader not want the Chen Clan to rise again?

Of course not. He looked forward to that day more than anyone else.

His current stance was to protect the alliance between the two sides, but there were probably other considerations at play as well.

He did not even show himself and only transmitted his voice through the air. Gu Chen could not help but guess the Chen Clan Leader's current state.

After he gave the Great Primordial Energy Technique, the Chen Clan Leader entered a state of secluded cultivation. He did not support the Chen Clan getting involved in this mess because he did not want it to affect his breakthrough.

Or rather, he was already confident that in the near future, he could rely on himself to make the Chen Clan rise again …

"This matter ends here. The Chen Clan will wait and see!"

The Chen Clan Leader made the final decision and did not speak again. The elders' enthusiasm for acting first and reporting later was extinguished.

The Clan Leader was right. If they brought disaster to the Chen Clan by doing so, none of them could bear the responsibility.

"Let's go!"

The Great Elder sighed and left with a flick of his sleeve. He did not say anything more to Gu Chen.

The other elders also sighed and left. They did not bid farewell to Gu Chen. It was clear that they were somewhat resentful.

"Take care, everyone."

Gu Chen was refined and courteous as he watched the elders leave. His gaze mostly fell on the Fourth Elder, Chen Qinghe, and he seemed to be deep in thought.
