Chapter 2007

Fourth Elder Chen Qinghe was full of joy. He had been waiting for this day for a very long time.

Once upon a time, because of his lack of talent, he had been ignored by the tribe. Even his beloved cousin looked down on him.

The turning point of his fate was when he went out to train. The Mu Tribe found him and promised him enough cultivation resources. The condition was that he had to become a spy they had planted in the Chen Tribe.

At that time, he realized that his chance had come. With his own talent, he would never have a place in the tribe. With the help of the Mu Tribe, he had the chance to soar into the sky!

For the sake of power and status, he agreed without hesitation. He had been loyal to the Mu Tribe for many years.

His loyalty had finally paid off. After the death of the patriarch and the decision of the Mu Tribe to support the Chen Tribe, he naturally became the next patriarch!

Only he could ensure the loyalty of the Chen Tribe to the Mu Tribe. Only he could lead the Chen Tribe out of their current predicament and into new glory!

"Elders, the dead are dead. It is time for the Chen Tribe to enter a new era!"

"To be honest, the reason why the Mu Tribe was willing to help us was because I predicted the development of the situation and asked for help from the Mu Tribe."

In front of the elders, Chen Qinghe spoke confidently and confidently, completely forgetting the fact that he was a traitor. He attributed the credit of the Chen Clan's survival to himself!

The elders were silent as they glanced at Sacred King Li Tian. They realized that he did not refute Fourth Elder's words. He simply found a place to sit down and said that he would not interfere with the internal affairs of the Chen Tribe.

Although he didn't say anything, he gave everyone a great amount of pressure. His meaning and the Mu Tribe's meaning were very clear!

The feeling of being threatened was not a good one. The elders didn't know what to do after seeing Fourth Elder's expression.

The Chen Tribe had their pride. The disappearance of their ancestor had a lot to do with the Mu Tribe. Logically speaking, they did not want to become a subordinate of the Mu Tribe.

However, the development of the situation did not allow them to refuse. Without giving them any chance to delay, Sacred King Li Tian had placed his blade on their necks!

The tension between emotion and reason caused many elders to fall silent. Even the First Elder's breathing became rapid. He wanted to say something several times, but stopped himself.

Although today's meeting was proposed by the Fourth Elder, he already had an idea about the candidate for the new Patriarch.

The Chen Clan needed to enter a new era. Fourth Elder was right about this. However, in his opinion, the one who could lead the Chen Clan in the future shouldn't be the Fourth Elder, but …

The Great Elder glanced at Gu Chen beside him. The talent, courage, and camaraderie that Gu Chen had displayed during this period of time had made the Great Elder firmly believe that Gu Chen was the best candidate to be the new Clan Leader.

Only young people could represent the new era, not to mention such an outstanding young man!

The one who could make the Chen Clan rise was Chen Yun Fei, not a shameless traitor like Chen Qing He!

The Great Elder very much wanted to refute the Fourth Elder and suggest that the young man beside him be appointed as the Clan Leader, but his rationality made him clench his fists tightly, unable to open his mouth for a long time!

If he said that, he would receive the most support from the elders. However, if he did that, it would be the same as slapping Sacred King Li Tian's face. The consequences would be unimaginable!

What should he do?

The Great Elder was in a dilemma, but at this moment, Gu Chen smiled and spoke calmly.

"Fourth Elder's loyalty to our clan can be seen by the heavens and earth. I believe that the position of Clan Leader should be inherited by the Fourth Elder. There should be no second choice! "

The first sentence sounded like mockery, and it made Chen Qing He's face darken. However, the second sentence stunned him.

He wasn't the only one. All the elders present were shocked. Even Sacred King Li Tian, who was sitting next to him, revealed a surprised expression.

Although he didn't pay much attention to Chen Yun Fei, he knew from Chen Qing He's report that the relationship between the two wasn't good.

Although Chen Qing He's ambition to take over the position of Clan Leader was obvious, Chen Yun Fei was the first to raise both his hands in agreement before he could say anything in detail. He even said that there should be no second choice.

If the other elders dared to have any other thoughts, they would be offending Chen Qing He to death. This was equivalent to shutting everyone's mouths!

"So he's just a coward who is afraid of death."

Li Tian's eyes were filled with mockery as he thought to himself.

Previously, when he watched this battle of manpower, the other cultivators did have some guts. But it seemed like they couldn't avoid it after all.

However, it made sense. To a small fry like him, the Mu Clan was the Heavens that couldn't be offended. If there was a chance to curry favor with the Mu Clan, they wouldn't care about their pride.

"Hahaha, Yun Fei, you're wrong to say that. The position of Clan Leader should be elected by all the elders. That's the only way it's fair!"

Chen Qing He regained his senses and said hypocritically. However, he couldn't hide the smugness on his face.

This fella was acting cold previously, but now he was trying to please him. It felt good to have power!

"Fourth Elder is right. I wonder if the elders have any other suitable candidates?"

Gu Chen agreed with Chen Qing He. His words made the Great Elder, who initially wanted to recommend Gu Chen to be the Clan Leader, feel a fishbone stuck in his throat!

He was filled with indescribable disappointment. Was this the young man he had high hopes for?

"Indeed, there's no better candidate than Fourth Elder."

Gu Chen was the first to speak. Several of the elders who already knew the direction of the situation agreed with him.

Most of the elders looked to the Great Elder, Chen Shanming. They respected the Great Elder and would follow his lead even if a Saint Ruler was present.

Chen Shanming knew that he had to make a choice, and Gu Chen's words had cut off his other thoughts. In the end, he said with a straight face, "It's all thanks to the Fourth Elder that our Chen Clan was able to escape this disaster. The Old Man has no objections to him becoming the new Clan Leader! "

With the Great Elder's prestige, these words were the final word. Chen Qinghe's face lit up with joy when he saw that his wish was finally fulfilled.

Seeing that Chen Qinghe had successfully become the patriarch, Holy King Li Tian stood up and left the hall without saying a word.

He had no interest in the details of the Chen Clan's meeting. The only reason he stayed at Mount Dingkong was to ensure that Chen Qinghe became the Clan Leader.

Now that his mission was complete, it was time for him to leave. As for how the Chen Clan would be loyal to the Mu Clan in the future, that would be up to Chen Qinghe.

"A mere Chen Clan has wasted quite a bit of my time."

Saint Ruler Li Tian snorted coldly and left under everyone's respectful greetings.

Gu Chen was among the group that bowed to greet Saint Ruler Li Tian. He bowed and watched Saint Ruler Li Tian leave with a smile on his face.
