"The Nether God Bell is one of the four sacred artifacts of the Holy Sect. Even if Shengxuzi wants to mobilize it quietly, it will probably take a lot of effort." The Great Elder sighed.
"That's right. The role of the Hades Bell is known to all the major forces in the Central Region. Shengxuzi is the key link this time. If there is a problem with that link of his, our subsequent plans will be useless." Chi Hao nodded and said.
"Then I'll go down and prepare first. I'm afraid my clan will have to pay a hefty price this time." The Great Elder said with a wry smile.
"As long as the people are still here, it won't be a big loss. The resources can be taken back if they are used. But if the people are gone, there is really nothing left." Chi Hao said.
"Okay, go down and prepare. This time we must succeed and not fail, otherwise our Chi clan will face a moment of life and death!" Yan Hao said seriously.
"Don't worry, Patriarch!"
After saying this, the Great Elder merged directly into the space and disappeared.
Chi Hao looked up into the distance. There, outside the Chi clan, several obscure auras were constantly watching this place.
Chi Hao sneered. These old guys didn’t even let go of an innocent child. I wonder what they are afraid of!
Time flies, and countless members of the Chi tribe are secretly speeding up their preparations. This day is finally approaching.
The atmosphere in the hall has changed a lot.
Serious! Solemn!
Chi Hao sat in the hall, glancing at everyone below.
"Great Elder, how are the preparations going?"
"Report to the clan leader, everything is ready!"
"Tomorrow is the deadline given to us by the three major sects."
Chi Hao's breathing quickened. "Xiao Yuan is a member of my Chi clan. For now, forever! But this time, my Chi clan is outmatched and has been forced to take this path. This time, the future of my Chi clan is on the line! Everyone, are you formidable?!"
"Afraid? Hehe, my Chi clan has never been afraid of anyone. If it's one of the three major forces this time, I will definitely fight them head-on. However, the three major forces have come together to kill my Chi clan's unparalleled genius, so my Chi clan has no choice but to do this. The clan leader can give you orders. I, Chi Zhan, will do whatever you want me to do!"
Your Highness, a burly man holding a large iron hammer, with a defiant look on his face, and an aura that was even more terrifying, he had reached the terrifying realm of the fifth-level Spirit Lord.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhan said it well! So what if he is a human? So what if he is a demon? I have watched Xiao Yuan grow up since he was a child, and I like him very much. Whoever wants to kill him must get past me first!" Another man said, the deafening voice made people cover their ears.
In addition, more than a dozen strong men exuding a powerful aura also expressed their opinions.
"Okay! Just having you waiting for me is enough!"
Chi Hao and the Great Elder looked at each other and nodded imperceptibly.
Suddenly, a destructive aura burst out from the Great Elder and Chi Hao. Everyone in the hall didn't know what was happening, and then they saw a white barrier appear, covering them.
"Clan leader, great elder, what are you doing?" Chi Zhan asked in astonishment.
"Yes, clan leader, what do you mean?" The others were also stunned, not understanding what the clan leader and the great elder were going to do.
Chi Hao stood up, looked at the people in the barrier, and sighed, "Everyone, I'm sorry. The situation this time is beyond our control. None of you can leave until this matter is completely over!"
"Chief? What do you mean? Didn't you say you wanted to save Xiao Yuan? Why are you imprisoning us?"
"Great Elder, please tell me, what are you doing?"
Chi Zhan, who was holding a giant hammer, was a man with a bad temper. He swung the giant hammer directly at the barrier.
"boom!"
The terrifying power of the fifth-level Spirit Lord struck the barrier, but not even a ripple appeared.
The others also used their spiritual skills in an attempt to destroy the barrier.
"Don't waste your energy."
The old figure stepped forward, looked at the crowd and said, "With the three major sects coming together this time, we must consider the Chi Clan! The Chi Clan has worked so hard to lay this foundation in the Central Region, and I cannot let you destroy it!"
"Great Elder! Whose idea is this? The clan leader's or yours?"
Chi Zhan's eyes turned red. He was most optimistic about Xiao Yuan, the child. In his heart, he was even the young patriarch!
"That's what I meant!"
Chi Hao stepped forward and said with a serious face, "I know you want to save him, but if my Chi clan wants to resist the three major sects, it is nothing but a foolish dream. If you don't hand him over, my Chi clan will face genocide. You should just stay here honestly. After tomorrow, you can come out naturally."
"Chi Hao! Do you know what the hell you are talking about?"
Chi Zhan's eyes were red. He never expected that Chi Hao would do this.
"Chi Zhan! Pay attention to your identity." The Great Elder shouted from the side.
"Identity? Hahaha, Chi Hao! You, a coward, are qualified to be the clan leader? I was wondering why Xiao Yuan was put in solitary confinement for no reason, but I didn't expect it to be like this! So what if there are three major sects? At worst, you can fight him to the death, but there is no reason to sell your son for fame and fortune!" Chi Zhan roared, emitting extremely powerful power.
Chi Hao closed his eyes and was not angry at Chi Zhan's disrespect.
When he opened his eyes again, there was only coldness left in Chi Hao's eyes.
"You have no right to decide this matter. I am the clan leader. There are countless young talents in my Chi clan. Do you think I will put the future of my Chi clan on him? What's more, he is a member of the demon clan!" Chi Zhan sneered.
"He's just a kid! He's innocent!"
"Stop talking, just stay here quietly! Great Elder, let's go!"
Chi Hao flicked his sleeves and left with the Great Elder.
"Ahhh! Chi Hao! You bastard!"
Chi Zhan attacked the barrier frantically, but could do nothing. The Great Elder was at the peak of the ninth level of Spirit Lord, and Chi Hao was already a Spirit Saint. With him being a fifth level Spirit Lord, he was not able to shake it at all.
Outside the hall, the Great Elder looked at Chi Hao and said with a wry smile, "Why bother? Won't they hate you?"
Chi Hao's face was expressionless. "We can't let them really die. This matter only needs to be known between you and me. Even if the truth is revealed, at least only the two of us will be implicated. Even if the worst-case scenario occurs, at least our Chi clan can still retain its roots. With Chi Zhan here, even without you and me, the Chi clan will eventually prosper."
"Things are not that bad. At least the Holy Sect has an ambiguous attitude towards this matter." The Great Elder sighed.
"It is precisely because of the Holy Sect's attitude that I am more afraid. The enemy is not scary. What is scary is the fence-sitter who may bite you at any time. That's why I have to make full preparations." Chi Hao said.
"Sometimes I wonder, is it really worth it? For a child?"
Chi Hao smiled.
"If it weren't for him, we would have died, and there would be no Chi clan today. So his child must be saved. At worst, it can be considered as my Chi clan's return to him!"
