In the eyes of Lu Kaiming and others, the head of the Chen family has an upright figure, his back as straight as a pine tree, and he walks like a dragon and a tiger, with an aura of superiority on his body.
Although he is already middle-aged, his aura as deep as the abyss makes the clan leaders of various tribes feel nervous. They are afraid that the realm of this clan leader Chen is not low and is even higher than that of the clan elders.
Although Chief Chen had a smile on his face, his deep eyes were like cold pools, as if they could see through everything, making people dare not look directly at him.
After a brief glance, the clan leaders of each tribe withdrew their gazes and dared not look any further.
"Is this Lu Kaiming, the leader of the Lu clan?"
At this time, Chen Tianjing's gaze quickly turned to Lu Kaiming.
Facing Chen Tianjing's question, Lu Kaiming's eyes were filled with surprise and surprise. He didn't expect that among the greetings from so many clan leaders, this clan leader Chen actually remembered him. Lu Kaiming bowed hurriedly and replied:
"Replying to Patriarch Chen, I am the head of the Lu family."
"Well, that's right. Your clan has provided a lot of resources over the years, and the family has noticed it."
After receiving Chen Tianjing's praise, Lu Kaiming immediately responded with gratitude:
"Everything is just our job."
Although it was just a short compliment, it made Lu Kaiming happy. After all, being able to appear in front of the patriarch Chen and even be remembered was an opportunity for the family.
This also made the other family patriarchs look at him with envy, but there was nothing they could do about it. After the Chen family destroyed the Gongyang family, this Lu patriarch was lucky enough to be the first family to surrender to the Chen family. It was reasonable for him to be treated like this now.
After Chen Tianjing took his seat, he quickly spoke:
"Everyone, I came here today specifically for the matter of the ancient ruins. Later, the clan leaders of all the clans in my southern border will come here. I will trouble you clan leaders for the reception."
The family only left a small number of clansmen to guard the strongholds in each county. The scale of this operation was quite large, so Chen Tianjing also notified the patriarchs of large and medium-sized families in Yelang County in advance and asked them to make preparations early.
Facing Chen Tianjing's thanks, the clan leaders of each clan also hurriedly said:
"No trouble, no trouble."
"It is our great honor to work for the Chen family."
"The Chen family has been taking care of our clan for a long time. This is a small matter and it is our family's duty."
“…”
At this moment, all the clan leaders had joy on their faces. After all, it was indeed their honor to meet the clan leaders of various upper-class families and even top families, and they would be able to take a look at the ancient ruins later.
Just as the various tribes were preparing, several streaks of light quickly appeared in the sky and headed towards the family stronghold.
In the flowing light, there are the figures of the clan leaders of various tribes.
This time it was the invitation from the head of the Chen family. With the current strength of the Chen family, even if it is not the top family, it is still above the upper-class families.
With such a cordial invitation, the clan leaders of all tribes would of course come in person, not to mention to explore the ruins of the ancient sword sect.
Many upper-class families have long been interested in this.
"Patriarch Chen, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you doing well?"
"Thank you for your concern, Patriarch Ye. Everything is fine with the family!"
"We had a quick farewell last time, but Patriarch Chen is still as charming as ever!"
"Haha, Patriarch Xiao is still as good as ever."
“…”
In a short while, the originally empty seats were occupied by people from various major families.
This time, not only the three top families came, but also the patriarchs of the major upper-class families, including the head of the Wu family, also came to accept the invitation.
However, the patriarchs of several of the tribes have been replaced by others, and beside each of the patriarchs, there is also an elder in the family who is in the state of concentration.
As the patriarch of a superior family, how could he travel without the protection of a Concentrated Spirit Realm warrior? Moreover, this time was of great significance. The Concentrated Spirit Realm warriors could not only protect the patriarch, but also be a time for all clans to demonstrate their family strength.
However, there were also families whose accompanying elders had only reached the state of unity between man and nature. After all, in the previous battles with the Heaven and Earth Alliance, several families had suffered losses and had not yet recovered.
As the glasses were clinking, Chen Tianjing quickly noticed the newly promoted warrior in the Concentration Realm next to the head of the Song family, and the warrior in the True Fire Realm next to the head of the Jiang family.
As for the people around Ye Wuning and the other two, Chen Tianjing was very familiar with them, because they were the same Ye Xiuming and the other two who had fought against the Tiandi Alliance last time.
At first glance, the three of them seemed to be still as charming and cheerful as ever, but Chen Tianjing, who had a lot of contact with the family's souls, could sense the strong aura of decay from the bodies of the three, which meant that they did not have much time left.
If the souls of the three people could be brought back to the family, it would be a great improvement for the family. Souls in the True Fire Realm are rare.
But this thought only flashed through Chen Tianjing's mind.
Although he has the intention, the three top families will certainly not be happy about it. However, the family has had means to target the souls of the major families in the past ten years. It seems that it won't be long before the family souls will surely have a huge growth, and the gains may even exceed those of the previous decades.
After a brief thought, Chen Tianjing quickly regained consciousness and started talking with Ye Wuning and others.
Below, the clan leaders from various tribes also had their own thoughts.
Song Yuankai looked at Chen Tianjing out of the corner of his eye, and was quite surprised when he noticed that there was no warrior in the state of concentration beside Chen Tianjing as he had seen last time.
He didn't expect that Chen Tianjing only brought two ordinary elders with him on this trip, and no warriors in the clan who were in the state of concentration did not accompany them.
Not far away, Jiang Huamao, the current patriarch of the Jiang family, also frowned slightly.
He did not come here specifically for the ancient ruins, but more to explore the current strength of the Chen family, so as to decide the family's future plans and deployments.
Although his Jiang family lost a clan leader and many elite clan members in the last war, the clan's warriors in the Concentration Realm are still there, and their injuries have been healed. In addition, another family elder has broken through to the True Fire Realm, which is similar to the strength displayed by the Chen family in the last war.
But looking at the territories of the two clans, the Jiang family currently only has one county, while the Chen family occupies three counties. This is too unfair.
Especially when he saw Chen Tianjing, Ye Wuning and the other two having a pleasant conversation at the main seat, Jiang Huamao felt even more unhappy.
If the Chen family can have such a status, why can't his Jiang family?
As for the agreement with Southern Xinjiang, the Jiang family does not take it seriously at the moment, because their Jiang family is not isolated and helpless.
However, the three top families were also invited by the Chen family on this trip, which was beyond his expectations.
He had also heard about the last war. The Chen family's totem took action, so much so that even the three top families owed the Chen family a favor.
Therefore, even if there are elders in the clan who are at the True Fire Realm coming this time, it will be difficult for them to take action.
In this case, the previous trial plan will probably have to wait until next time.
After thinking about this, Jiang Huamao looked a little gloomy.
However, there are many opportunities to test, so the family does not need to be in a hurry. It is better to see if they can get some gains from the ancient ruins this time.
