"It seems that the nobles have developed quite well in recent years."
After arriving at the hall, Cui Yan said with a smile.
Although we didn't see many members of the Chen family along the way, we could still get a glimpse of them.
Chen Tianjing also replied with a smile:
"It's been relatively peaceful recently. It's a blessing for our family that our clan members are safe and sound."
Cui Yan nodded slightly after hearing this, but then changed the subject:
"But I'm afraid this peaceful life won't last too long."
Chen Tianjing frowned slightly:
"What does Clan Elder Cui mean by this?"
Cui Yan continued:
"I think the nobles should know that the Sun family sent an elder to the noble territory three years ago, right?"
Chen Tianjing looked a little confused after hearing this:
"I don't know about this, but according to the perception of my clan elders, a powerful aura did descend upon my clan three years ago, but for some reason, it did not show up afterwards."
Seeing that Chen Tianjing looked confused, it didn't seem like he was pretending. And based on the information he had investigated at the time, Chen Tianjing was indeed not in the family at the time, so it was understandable that he didn't know. In this way, the conclusion that the family had speculated at the beginning was probably almost correct.
From this point of view, the Chen family is quite lucky.
Seeing Chen Tianjing's doubts, Cui Yan stopped keeping him in suspense and quickly began to explain:
"Three years ago, Sun Yuanji, an elder from the Sanhua Realm clan of the Sun family, came to your clan, probably intending to cause trouble for the nobles. However, when Sun Yuanji came, it happened to be a thunderstorm, so he stayed."
"The Sun family has a secret technique that can use the power of lightning to temper the body. It is effective even for warriors in the Controlling Qi Realm. Sun Yuanji was probably excited to see the prey, so he wanted to use the power of lightning. However, something unexpected happened in the middle. This person seemed to be attacked by the thunder and was seriously injured. That's why he did not show up and returned to his family."
Chen Tianjing was surprised after hearing this, with a hint of fear in his eyes, and asked hurriedly:
"Is this true?"
Although his expression was horrified, Chen Tianjing's heart was extremely calm.
Of course he knew that Sun Yuanji had come to the family. The sacred tree had already told him about this. However, what surprised him was that the Cui family had actually guessed the truth almost exactly based on speculation alone.
The only mistake is that Sun Yuanji's injury was not an accident, but was related to the family sacred tree.
Seeing Chen Tianjing's expression, Cui Yan said affirmatively:
"I personally investigated this matter, so it's certainly not false."
After hearing this, Chen Tianjing's expression relaxed and he said with a little relief;
"Hearing what Clan Elder Cui said, our family is indeed lucky."
But Cui Yan immediately said:
"The nobles were indeed lucky last time, but what if I told you that Sun Yuanji has already broken through the Five Qis Converging to the Origin realm?"
Chen Tianjing's expression changed slightly, and he immediately exclaimed:
"Isn't this possible?"
"Didn't Elder Cui just say that Sun Yuanji was seriously injured? How could he have a breakthrough in just a few years?"
This time, Chen Tianjing's change in expression was not a disguise, but because this matter really surprised him.
Cui Yan sighed:
"This incident was indeed beyond the family's expectations, but Cui Yuanji is an extremely talented person. He has been promoted to the third level of the Qi Control Realm for a long time. Perhaps he was just one step away from success. Although he was seriously injured by the power of heavenly thunder last time, as I said before, the Cui family has a secret technique of tempering the body with the power of thunder and lightning. Perhaps it is for this reason that this person has made a breakthrough in a short period of time."
"According to the investigation of my clan elders, this news is true. If I remember correctly, the nobles seemed to have had some conflicts with the Sun family before?"
Chen Tianjing's expression changed suddenly, with a look of deep worry on his face.
The last time the Yu family was destroyed, the clan had a grudge with the Sun family. Now that the Sun family's strength has greatly increased, and a warrior at the fourth level of the Qi Control Realm has appeared in the clan, they will probably cause trouble for the clan.
Chen Tianjing paced back and forth, seemingly thinking about a solution. After seeing Cui Yan, Chen Tianjing's eyes lit up and he hurried forward and said:
"The reason Elder Cui came here this time is definitely not just to inform the family about this matter, right?"
Looking at Chen Tianjing's slightly expectant eyes, Cui Yan said with a smile:
"There is a relationship between our two families. Moreover, Sun Yuanji's breakthrough not only affects the nobles, but also affects my Cui family and other families."
"So this time I came to the nobles to discuss cooperation with them on behalf of the clan leader. The Sun family has grown in strength, and it is difficult to resist relying on the strength of one clan. But if we conspire together, even the Sun family will have to weigh the risks."
"What does Patriarch Chen think?"
Faced with Cui Yan's invitation, Chen Tianjing was moved, but then he hesitated, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
Seeing Chen Tianjing hesitate, Cui Yan continued:
"Patriarch Chen, don't worry too much. The families cooperating with our clan this time are not just the nobles, but also the Zhao family of Yunmeng City and the Wu family of Mengchuan City."
"Among them, I think Patriarch Chen of the Zhao family in Yunmeng City should be familiar with them. As for the Wu family in Mengchuan City, they are a rising star in recent years. Although there are only two warriors in the Yuqi realm in the family, now that there is one more family, there is more strength."
"But our clans are so far apart, how can we cooperate? If the Sun family defeats us one by one, I'm afraid our clan won't have a chance to resist."
Chen Tianjing said worriedly.
Cui Yan laughed after hearing this:
"Patriarch Chen, don't worry about this. Although the Sun family is strong, our Cui family is not weak either. As long as there is any movement in the Sun family, our family will be able to sense it and lend a helping hand in time. However, during the cooperation, the nobles must also cooperate with our family's actions, so that we can fight the enemy together."
Chen Tianjing had a complicated expression on his face, but as Cui Yan waited quietly, he quickly made up his mind and nodded resolutely:
"Can!"
Seeing that Chen Tianjing agreed, Cui Yan smiled again.
The two then discussed the specific details of the cooperation between the two tribes. After both parties reached an agreement, the cooperation was quickly decided.
"Then I wish you and my tribe a happy cooperation!"
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
"Patriarch Chen, Sun Yuanji has just made a breakthrough. The Sun family may not take any action in the short term, but since the cooperation has been decided, I need to return to the clan as soon as possible to report. I will not stay any longer. If the Sun family makes any moves or the family needs help from nobles, we will send someone to inform you."
"Okay! Elder Cui, take care!"
Chen Tianjing also nodded worriedly, with a hint of anxiety on his face.
After Cui Yan left, the anxiety on Chen Tianjing's face quickly disappeared, but a trace of worry remained.
Sun Yuanji's breakthrough to the fourth level of the Qi Control Realm was indeed something the family had not expected.
As a result, the Sun family, which was originally not a threat, has now become the family's biggest enemy, which has also affected the family's previous plans.
After some thought, Chen Tianjing quickly notified Chen Tianyu and others to come to the family lobby for discussion.
