The roar was like thunder, carrying endless majesty and domineering power, making everyone's ears buzz.
Along with this roar, a powerful wave of power emanated from the Demon-Suppressing Stone Elephant, forming an invisible barrier that enveloped the entire Shen Family Imperial Ancestral Hall.
Two demon-suppressing stone elephants stood guard outside the barrier of the Shen Family Imperial Ancestral Hall, one on the left and one on the right.
No further attacks were launched.
But they have made their stance clear.
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other in bewilderment at the scene before them.
To advance or to retreat?
Sui Changyun suddenly chuckled, "It seems that things are becoming more and more interesting. Perhaps the inheritance of the Tianzhou Dynasty's direct lineage has not been broken. Otherwise, who can command the two demon-suppressing stone elephants?"
Hearing this, many people's faces changed instantly.
The Lu family's eldest elder's eyes were sharp, and he immediately said, "Impossible! More than 800 years ago, except for the Linghuang Chenchu, everyone in the direct lineage had disappeared. How could there still be a legacy?"
Sui Changyun smiled and said, "Is it possible that Emperor Ling Chenchu left behind descendants?"
"However, according to historical records, Emperor Ling Shenchu never married or had children! He didn't even have concubines! Moreover, the Shen family has always valued the inheritance of bloodlines and the chastity of their partners, and would not have children with others casually!"
"That's right! Every time a member of the Shen family's direct lineage is born, the Grand Master will select several candidates for the Emperor's husband or wife from the major families. These selected people are all complementary to the fate of the Shen family's direct lineage..."
"I heard that these chosen ones will have a cinnabar seal carved on their collarbones. Once the cinnabar seal is gone, it means that the person has lost their virginity and is no longer qualified to marry someone from the Shen family's direct lineage."
"Men also need to be engraved with cinnabar seals?" a young disciple asked in surprise.
"Of course. Moreover, the requirements for men in the Shen family are more stringent."
Since the establishment of the Tianzhou Dynasty, there have been both male emperors and female emperors.
Anyone with outstanding abilities in the Shen family can become emperor.
"Don't those men who have been engraved with cinnabar seals feel ashamed?" someone said sarcastically. Although having three wives and four concubines is not very popular in the Changming Realm, the lifespan of cultivators is very long. How many people can remain faithful to one person?
Being engraved with a cinnabar seal is like being branded.
This sounds particularly unpleasant.
Nie Xun held a paper umbrella, his eyelashes slightly drooping, looking cold and indifferent, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, Sui Changyun narrowed his eyes and smiled softly: "You really underestimate the Shen family and the grandeur of the Tianzhou Dynasty."
When the Tianzhou Dynasty ruled the Changming Realm, the Shen family was the top among all the cultivators. An ordinary direct descendant could fight against three thousand cultivators, and an emperor could fight against one hundred thousand cultivators.
What's more, the people of the Shen family all have excellent looks.
At that time, how many people wanted to become the direct descendant of the Shen family?
If not 100,000 people, there are at least 8,000.
The Shen family is not promiscuous and is very loyal. They either choose neither or only one.
"Enough!" The leader of Jidao Sect interrupted everyone's discussion. He didn't want to hear about the glorious history of Tianzhou Dynasty, and now he didn't need the existence of Tianzhou Dynasty.
He called the elders of various major forces and discussed with them how to restrain the Demon-Suppressing Stone Elephant, and then break the forbidden barrier so that they could fight on their own and seize the Tianzhou Divine Sword.
The leader of Jidao Sect was determined to obtain the Tianzhou Divine Sword, so he was not willing to give up at all.
The elders of those small forces were timid. They felt that they could not win the Tianzhou Divine Sword, and if they really went against the Demon-Suppressing Stone Elephant, they would probably lose their lives in vain.
Just when they wanted to say "sorry" to the leader of Jidao Sect——
"Aren't you willing to lend a helping hand to this sect leader?" The Jidao Sect leader's voice was deep and powerful, and the threat was self-evident. His slightly cloudy eyes were deep and sharp as he stared at the elders of those small forces.
The elders of the small forces were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they did not dare to go against the leader of the Jidao Sect.
"We...we do!"
If you don't want to, you might be killed on the spot.
He might also be hated by the leader of Jidao Sect, and his own forces might be suppressed by him in the future.
The Jidao Sect's leader nodded calmly, then turned to the Lu Family's Great Elder and the others, "What do you think?"
The Lu family's eldest elder's eyes darkened as he thought of the man who had intruded into the Shen Clan's Imperial Ancestral Hall. As a member of the Lu family, they naturally did not want the direct lineage of the Tianzhou Dynasty to survive. After all, over eight hundred years ago, their ancestor, Lu Congyang, had controlled the Mausoleum Emperor Shen Chu, causing the entire Tianzhou Dynasty to fall apart...
If the direct descendants of the Tianzhou Dynasty return, they will definitely seek revenge on their Lu family, so those who disappeared long ago should no longer exist!
The Lu family's Great Elder smiled slightly and said, "I agree with Sect Master Nan Rong's suggestion."
"I agree as well." Elder Fanhai Island nodded.
Elder Qi seemed a little hesitant; he didn't want to get involved.
He looked up and glanced around, and when he saw several familiar figures in the crowd, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
How come you came so quickly?
The red-haired boy seemed to see Elder Qi and excitedly raised his hand to greet him. He wanted to rush over, but was forcibly held down by the two people beside him.
Xiao Zechuan: "Can you be less energetic?"
Zhuge Youlin looked at the people beside him and sighed deeply.
“Sometimes, you have to look for your own reasons.”
As soon as he finished speaking, several people looked at him speechlessly.
Wen Yuchu was slightly puzzled and looked at Yu Changying: "You haven't found Yanyan and Chi Yue either?"
Yu Changying nodded, a hint of worry appearing in her beautiful eyes.
"I don't know where they went."
"Don't worry about that lazy bum Chi Yue. He must have fallen asleep somewhere. As for Yanyan..." Zhuge Youlin frowned as he spoke. "Could it be that Yanyan encountered a difficult enemy and couldn't get here for a while?"
Wen Yuchu asked, "Have you sent a message to her?"
Pei Su said: "I just sent a message, but she hasn't replied yet."
"Then let's wait a little longer."
If Chen Yan didn't respond to the message for a long time, it meant that she must be in trouble.
…
at the same time.
The Shen Family Imperial Ancestral Hall is solemn and dignified.
After entering the imperial temple, the girl stood quietly, her eyes looking forward.
Before her were the tablets of the ancestors of the Shen family. These tablets were arranged neatly, appearing solemn and dignified, and each tablet represented an ancestor of the Shen family.
The girl stared at the tablets silently, a complex emotion welling up in her heart.
At this moment, she vaguely felt her heart beating violently for them. This feeling was very familiar and intimate.
