Chapter 1990
The hall immediately quietened down. All the elders were listening attentively, looking forward to it.
Chen Shanming looked a little embarrassed. "The Great Prophet said that if the Peicheng Dynasty intervenes, it will easily arouse the sensitivities of all parties, so we will have to rely on ourselves."
As soon as this was said, all the elders looked at each other and whispered to each other.
"Huh? You said you'll support us, but you won't send a single soldier. The Great Prophet is very sincere in his support! "
Chen Qinghe said sarcastically. The other elders didn't say anything, but they all felt that the Luo Sect lacked sincerity.
Gu Chen sat in his seat and glanced at Chen Qinghe. He said calmly, "Fourth Elder, you're wrong. Isn't it enough to lend us the identity of a Saint? If what happens next angers Saint Liu, the Great Prophet will have to take a risk. "
"Yunfei, are you from the Luo's School or the Chen clan?"
Chen Qinghe turned to Gu Chen and said discontentedly, "Everyone knows that the Chen Clan has been in seclusion all these years. Our overall strength has fallen far behind that of the Green Willow Holy Ground. Without the help of the Peicheng Dynasty, we'll have to sacrifice many clansmen on our own!"
"The war hasn't even started, and you're already worried about casualties?"
Gu Chen's eyes turned cold. He could clearly feel that the other party was deliberately targeting him to make him isolated by the elders.
"Yunfei, you're of noble status, so you don't have to worry about your life in battle. But it's different for ordinary Chen Clan disciples. I have to think about their safety."
Chen Qinghe mocked Gu Chen. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he said with a smile, "Yunfei, you're also Emperor Pei's teacher. It's said that you're second only to him in the Pavilion of Innocence. This war concerns the future of the Chen Clan. As an elder of the Chen Clan, shouldn't you put in more effort?"
The elders thought the fourth elder was going overboard when they heard the first sentence, but their eyes lit up immediately when they heard the second.
That's right!
The elders had heard of Yunfei's deeds in the Peicheng Dynasty under the alias Chen Yi. With his influence, it shouldn't be hard to gather more people for the Chen Clan, right?
At the very least, the assassins of the Pavilion of Innocence would work for a fee. It wouldn't be too much to treat it as the Chen Clan hiring the assassins of the Pavilion of Innocence, right?
Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Gu Chen said expressionlessly, "Without the permission of the Great Prophet, I don't have the power to mobilize the killers of the Pavilion of Innocence. My influence over Emperor Pei is also not what you think it is."
The elders were slightly disappointed after hearing this, but it was normal after thinking about it.
Although the Chen Clan had formed an alliance with the Luo Sect, how could the Great Prophet be at ease handing over too much power to an outsider?
Even if Yunfei really did make a great contribution to the restoration of the Pei Dynasty, the Great Prophet would still be wary of him. Besides, there were rumors that he was just a puppet, so what real power could he have?
"It seems like the Great Prophet is still holding back from my Chen Clan."
Chen Qinghe didn't expect Gu Chen to answer such a shameful thing so readily. She pretended to sigh regretfully.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and there's no need for our race to accept handouts. As a disciple of the Chen Clan, I will fight side by side with the elders. There will be no exception. "
Gu Chen said indifferently.
"Well said. Although our clan has been on the decline for a long time, we still have our pride. We won't accept handouts! We are in an alliance with the Luo Sect, and we are on equal footing. If we need them for everything, won't we be a joke to others? "
Chen Shanming continued Gu Chen's words, sounding rather heroic. Hearing this, all the elders felt their blood boil.
That's right!
They had been sulking for too many years, and they had waited for this opportunity for too long!
Could it be that without external help, the disciples of the Chen Clan couldn't do it?
No!
The glory of their ancestors still existed, and the Chen Clan was still a strong clan!
Chen Shanming demonstrated his leadership as the Great Elder. Soon, everyone stopped talking about their dissatisfaction with the Luo Sect and seriously discussed the plan to seize the remaining territories of the Yamata Sects Holy Land.
When the Fourth Elder, Chen Qinghe, saw the atmosphere, he stopped pestering Gu Chen and joined in the discussion.
Soon, the specific plan came out. Because the Green Willow Holy Land had taken the lead, the Chen Clan had to speed up. All the elders would lead a team to seize the territories that had not been occupied by the Green Willow Holy Land.
There was no need to confront the Green Willow Holy Land directly. The gap of benefits left by the Yamata Sects Holy Land was huge, and it was enough for the Chen Clan, who had been thirsty in the desert for a long time, to eat and drink to their heart's content.
"If we all go out, who will guard the clan? The Patriarch seems to have reached a critical moment in his closed-door cultivation. He didn't even come out for such an important matter as the destruction of the Yamata Sects Holy Land. We can't count on him. We must have someone stay to guard the clan, in case someone takes the opportunity to attack us. "
When the discussion was almost over, the Second Elder raised an important question. All the elders were silent for a moment, and their eyes flickered. No one took the initiative to speak.
Without a doubt, although the risk of leading the team to seize territories was high, the benefits were also the greatest.
The Chen Clan had been poor for so long, and the elders were also short of money. Now that there was a chance to make a fortune, of course, they were not willing to stay in the clan.
"In my opinion, it's best for Yunfei to stay in the clan. Yunfei, are you willing?"
The Second Elder stroked his beard and asked Gu Chen.
It was obvious that Gu Chen was the youngest among the elders. In terms of seniority, he should be the one to stay in the clan.
Moreover, in the eyes of the elders, he was too young and not strong enough. Moreover, he was the key person in contact with the Luo Clan. They could not afford to lose him.
After considering all these factors, he was the best choice. The Second Elder's suggestion was reasonable.
"As long as I can do my part for our clan, it doesn't matter whether I'm at the frontline or in the clan. I'm willing."
Gu Chen did not refuse. He did not lack cultivation resources, so he did not need to fight with these elders.
Seeing that he agreed, the elders were relieved. Although Gu Chen was the youngest, because of his special relationship with the Luo Clan, if he did not want to stay in the clan, they could not force him.
"Yunfei, can you stay here alone? Don't let anything go wrong. "
Chen Qinghe said with a hint of mockery. It was obvious that he was questioning his strength.
"If the Fourth Elder is worried, you can trade with me."
Gu Chen glanced at him and replied coldly.
"Haha, forget it. The territory that the Old Man is in charge of is not simple. You won't be able to handle it. It's safest for you to stay in the clan. Don't cause trouble for everyone. "
Chen Qinghe said. The elders had strange looks in their eyes. They could all tell that the relationship between these two was not good.
Gu Chen smiled and did not say anything. He could not be bothered to argue with this person.
"Alright, we've decided who will stay. Next, we'll discuss the arrangement of the members of each team!"
The First Elder patted the map and reminded everyone to cut the nonsense.
Soon, a detailed plan was drawn up.
The next day, all the members had arrived. The 69 teams of the Chen Clan left Mount Dingkong and moved separately!
