The two culprits behind this incident, Chen Mingxuan and Li Feng, are already dead.

He had no intention of pursuing the matter further regarding the ambush.

He didn't believe that the Chen family members would dare to harm him after today.

The reason he stopped the elders was actually for another matter.

"I plan to change the main branch of the family!"

When Chen Tianwen spoke, his words caused all the elders of the Chen family to gasp in shock.

The main branch of the Chen family is the official leader of the Chen family.

Since the Chen family was established ten thousand years ago, this has never changed.

Chen Tianwen's move to change the main branch is tantamount to a change of dynasty for the Chen family.

The elders looked at each other in bewilderment.

It was the same white-haired elder who spoke up: "Senior Tianwen, there is no precedent to follow in the matter of a collateral branch taking over the position."

"I am informing you, not asking for your opinion."

Chen Tianwen said calmly.

The Chen family is too loosely organized now and needs a main branch to lead it.

Originally, this matter was a matter for Chen Mingxuan's main branch, and he did not intend to interfere.

It's best if both sides keep to themselves and don't interfere with each other.

They are the Chen family of the desolate city.

The Chen family of Yunzhou is the Chen family of Yunzhou.

However, a series of events that had occurred disrupted his plans.

With Chen Mingxuan killed by him, the decline of the Chen family in Yunzhou was almost inevitable.

As a family with a history spanning ten thousand years, the Chen family's influence extends to various cities, making them one of the largest and most powerful forces in Yunzhou.

It would be a waste for such a large force to simply decline like this.

Therefore, Chen Tianwen had the idea he just had.

The Chen family needs a main branch to lead them, so why can't that main branch be their own family?

Hearing Chen Tianwen's firm tone...

A hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the elders.

"Then... then senior, what should we do?"

An elder asked timidly.

Most of them are either direct descendants or related to direct descendants.

With the direct line of the Chen family eliminated, where can they go?

A glint flashed in Chen Tianwen's eyes as he said, "Those who wish to stay can join the new main branch as retainers, though resources and salaries will be inconvenient. If you wish to leave, you can also establish your own collateral family!"

After Chen Tian finished speaking, all the elders fell silent.

If they stay in the new family, they can only serve as a retainer, although their salary will not change.

However, in terms of status, they certainly wouldn't be as powerful as the current clan elders.

As for going out and starting a new family...

This is not the same as ten thousand years ago. Ten thousand years ago, Yunzhou was a barren treasure land, full of unclaimed spiritual mountains and famous lakes. You could easily develop a large city by occupying a good location.

Now, the various regions of Yunzhou have been divided up by major families and mercenary groups.

It's easy to start a family business, but it's difficult to grow it into a large one.

In addition, all the elders present were at the Nascent Soul stage, and they needed a lot of resources to improve their cultivation.

Supporting a family also requires a lot of resources.

As the elders have always said.

Being worshipped only results in a slight decrease in status.

To establish a new family would be tantamount to giving up one's cultivation progress.

However, there is one advantage to establishing a family business.

That is freedom.

The offerings are likely to be ordered around by the new family members.

By establishing a new family, one becomes the head of the family, whose word is law.

Both options have their advantages and disadvantages.

The younger elders, on the other hand, were more inclined to stay.

Those who are older and whose cultivation has no hope of progress tend to go out and establish their own families.

But no one made a decision first; they were all watching and waiting.

Let's see what Chen Tianwen means.

At this moment, another elder frowned and asked, "May I ask Elder Chen, which family is the new main branch?"

This question piqued the curiosity of the clan elders.

They wanted to see which lucky person would get the position of head of the Chen family line.

"The Chen family of the desolate city!" Chen Tianwen replied calmly.

He's been busy all this time, he certainly wasn't doing it for someone else's benefit.

Moreover, only the Chen family of Huangcheng can control the main branch.

The Chen family is now very large.

Their collateral branches are spread throughout Yunzhou.

But apart from him, there wasn't even a single Nascent Soul cultivator.

In the cultivation world, strength ultimately determines everything.

How can the Chen family, which has not even produced a single Nascent Soul cultivator, possibly safeguard its millennia-old foundation?

Therefore, whether from a personal perspective or from the perspective of family righteousness.

The only family that can serve as the main branch is the Chen family of the desolate city.

"The Chen family of the desolate city?"

Upon hearing Chen Tianwen mention the family, the elders all looked puzzled.

Among the several powerful branches of the Chen family, I've never heard of a Chen family from the desolate city.

No one knew anything about the Chen family in this desolate city.

Where is it located?

Who is the head of the family?

Most importantly, what is their strength?

If it's a small family like the Chen family, where the entire clan can't even produce a single Nascent Soul cultivator.

If we establish ourselves as the main force, won't we become a laughing stock?

At this moment, many elders showed signs of retreat in their eyes.

Rather than joining the Chen family in this obscure, desolate city.

It would be more appealing to establish your own clan.

Noticing the suspicion in the elders' eyes, Chen Tianwen smiled and said, "It's normal that you're not familiar with the Chen family of this desolate city, but..."
