"Don't be so startled. I've lived for a very, very long time, so long that you don't even know how many generations younger I am than I am. It's been decades since I last came out, and this time I've shortened my life by a few years. But luckily, it's me who came out. The others didn't want to come out. It's also thanks to them that they didn't want to come out, otherwise..."
"How about otherwise?"
"Chi Hao's position as clan leader may be in jeopardy!"
"Is it that serious? Grand Elder?"
The withered old man laughed, which was rare. His old face, which looked like a thousand-year-old tree, looked a little scary when he laughed.
"They are all old fellows who have lived for who knows how many years. There is no family affection at all, including the clan leader Chi Hao. For them, the continuation of the Chi clan is the meaning of their persistence. Otherwise, what is the point of them maintaining that half-dead state?"
"What about you, Grand Elder?"
Judging from the tone of the withered old man, it seems that he is different from the guys he mentioned?
"Alas, I'm different from them. I think that life is ultimately all about emotion. Friendship, love, everyone is talking about it. But if you live without emotion, what's the difference between you and the dead? So even though I've been in a state of neither life nor death for many years, I still get angry and happy. I'll still help you youngsters when I see you. So this time when Chi Hao summoned me, I came out. As for those old guys, you probably won't have the chance to see them until the Chi clan is at the critical moment of life and death."
"What the Grand Elder said is very true. People live for the sake of love. Only in this way can life have meaning."
"Hehehe."
The withered old man laughed. He looked up into the space and said, "Chi Hao is a good kid. It's great that he can achieve this. I just don't know if this kid is Qing Sheng's. If so, hehe, with Qing Sheng's talent, how bad can his kid be? What's more, the current situation seems to have proved that this kid's talent is indeed terrifying. Hehe, Chi Hao has done quite well. If this kid can be saved, maybe it won't be long before our Chi clan will prosper!"
The Great Elder swallowed and asked, "Grand Elder, is this really the case?"
The withered old man turned to look at the Great Elder, "What? You don't believe me?"
It seemed like he hadn't spoken for a long time, and the withered old man said a lot today.
"That's not the case. I just hope that the Chi Clan can do as the Grand Elder said."
"Maybe one day."
The withered old man had just finished speaking when he said, "They are coming out!"
The Great Elder looked hurriedly towards a certain place in the space, where ripples appeared. After more than ten breaths, a figure broke through the air first.
“It’s the clan leader!”
The Great Elder shot forward and rushed towards Chi Hao.
Chi Hao was in a rather miserable state at this moment. His white robe had turned into pieces, with only a few larger pieces of cloth covering his vital parts.
There was a hideous sword wound on his chest, and blood was gushing out.
"Clan leader, are you okay?" The Great Elder hurriedly supported Chi Hao and landed him on the ground.
Chi Hao's breathing was a little breathless. He took out a pill from his space ring and swallowed it, then said, "Hey, I'm fine. Cang Liunan is quite powerful, but his swordsmanship is nothing compared to my brother's. It's like playing house!"
I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Chi Hao deliberately did not conceal his voice.
After a while, another figure walked out of the space.
It was Cang Liunan.
Cang Liunan's image at this time was not very good, but it was better than Chi Hao's. He still had a sword on his back, and the whole person seemed to be standing proudly in the world.
There were traces of blood on his body, and he didn't know whether it was his own or left by Chi Hao.
"Haha, how is it? Chief Chi, your strength is a little inferior."
As soon as he came down, Cang Liunan mocked.
"Hmph! So what? Didn't I kick you in the butt?" Chi Hao laughed.
"You!" Cang Liunan's face turned slightly red. He didn't expect that Chi Hao would dare to say such words that were inconsistent with his status.
The Great Elder looked at Chi Hao strangely and couldn't help laughing.
Cang Liunan glared at the Great Elder fiercely, but the Great Elder was not afraid of Cang Liunan at all. Although he was a spiritual saint, he had no control over the Chi clan.
Of course, the Great Elder would not obey him either!
"Cang Liunan, your sword intent is far inferior to my brother's. What do you think? Do you want me to leave my brother's sword to you? Next time you can look at it and meditate on it. At least you can make some progress. This sword is not very effective when it hits your body!" Chi Hao continued to mock.
"Haha, you're quite sharp-tongued!"
Cang Liunan slowly drew out the sword on his back, held it in his hand, and pointed it at Chi Hao: "I'll ask you again, will you hand it over or not?"
"Hehe, so what if I don't hand it over today?" Chi Hao said with his arms crossed.
Cang Liunan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the sword intent and murderous aura on his body became stronger and stronger. Although he could not kill Chi Hao by force, he could seriously injure him at all costs so that he could lie in bed for three to five years.
Cang Liunan was considering whether to do this.
"No, I can't do it alone."
Obviously, Cang Liunan was no fool. He smiled, slowly put away the sword in his hand, and said, "Xue Hanzi, Helan Zhan, are you just going to watch the show like this? Don't forget what we are here for. Everyone in the Central Region is watching our three major sects."
Speaking of this, Xue Hanzi and Helan Zhan both frowned.
It was obvious that Cang Liunan wanted to drag the two of them into this. If it was before, there would be no problem. But now there happened to be a Qingsheng who was familiar with Chi Hao, which made it difficult to deal with.
After all, although Qing Sheng was most likely dead, his body was never found. Was he blown to ashes by the thunder from the sky?
With Qing Sheng's terrifying strength, it probably wouldn't be so terrible. At least he could leave some clues. But the problem now is that there really isn't a single trace left.
It would be fine if he died, and they wouldn’t care what happened to him, but what if Qing Sheng didn’t die?
Regardless of whether the boy is Qing Sheng's child or not, just seeing that Chi Hao was able to keep his sword, we can tell that the relationship between the two may really be unusual.
If they took action today, and Qing Sheng happened to be alive and came back one day, wouldn’t they be in big trouble?
It has to be said that everyone present was a veteran. In just a few breaths, Xue Hanzi and Helan Zhan had already thought through the pros and cons of the matter.
"What on earth are you two doing?"
Cang Liunan roared.
Helan Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "Sect Master Cang, how about we discuss this matter tomorrow? I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good idea to just do it right away."
"You! What did you say?"
Cang Liunan was so angry that he almost exploded. Now that things had come to this point, he actually said that he would discuss it later?
