"I wonder when Ancestor Tianwen returned."
A hint of reminiscence flickered in Chen Minghe's eyes.
After receiving the news, the Chen family began to look through their family genealogy, searching for an ancestor named Chen Tianwen.
And they actually found it.
A thousand years ago, a Golden Core genius disciple named Chen Tianwen traveled to Yunzhou in search of a breakthrough opportunity, and then mysteriously disappeared.
The entire Chen family thought he had met with some misfortune, and had even placed his memorial tablet in the ancestral hall.
If this hadn't happened...
No one expected that he would come back alive.
If nothing unexpected happens, this Chen Tianwen should be the same person who left home and wandered a thousand years ago.
Thinking of this, Chen Minghe suddenly sighed, "Alas... I wish Old Ancestor Chen would come back soon."
Chen Tianwen's appearance greatly boosted the prestige of the Chen family.
However, it also left behind considerable hidden dangers.
Sirius Mercenary Group.
Their leader, Li Feng, has already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
The Chen family's current most powerful patriarch, Chen Mingxuan, is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
If the Sirius Mercenary Group comes knocking on their door because of this, the Chen family will be powerless to resist. For now, they can only rely on Chen Tianwen's name to intimidate the Sirius Mercenary Group.
But this is not a long-term solution.
If Chen Tianwen does not appear for a long time.
Sooner or later, they'll be found out.
The Chen family will be in trouble then.
As Chen Minghe was thinking, a voice suddenly came from outside the Xuanxiu Pavilion.
"Third Elder, Third Elder!"
Accompanied by the sound, hurried footsteps drew ever closer.
Chen Minghe looked outside the Xuanxiu Pavilion and saw a man who looked like a manager leading a guard in spirit armor, running up breathlessly.
"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and panicked?!"
Chen Minghe rebuked the two men, and with a flash of mysterious light, he appeared in front of them the next second.
thump!
Upon seeing Chen Minghe, the two immediately knelt on the ground.
Chen Minghe asked, "What happened?"
The man who looked like the manager quickly said, "Someone has come from outside and wants us to announce their arrival..."
"Didn't I say that the Chen family is closing its doors today and will not see anyone!"
Chen Minghe said impatiently.
Ever since the Chen family had an ancestor return.
People come to visit the Chen family every day in an endless stream.
He was already extremely annoyed.
Chen Minghe flicked his sleeves and said, "No matter who it is, get them all out of here!"
After saying that, he turned to leave.
"No...no, that won't do," the manager said tremblingly. "That man said his name is Chen Tianwen!"
Chen Tianwen?!
Chen Minghe stopped abruptly.
If Patriarch Chen were to return, he could simply fly in directly. Why did he need someone to announce his return?
With Chen Tianwen's strength, he could have met the family head directly without needing anyone's permission.
A hint of doubt rose on his face as he asked, "Are you sure that's Ancestor Tianwen?"
Chen Minghe is now worried that perhaps those families who are at odds with the Chen family have found out something and sent a fake Chen Tianwen to test the Chen family's secrets.
If he rashly went to meet him, it would be easy for others to realize that Chen Tianwen was not at the Chen family.
Therefore, before confirming whether it was truly the return of the Heavenly Question Ancestor.
He couldn't go to meet her in a grand manner.
The steward shook his head: "I haven't met you yet. I just received the news and came to see you."
Then he pointed to the gatekeeper next to him, "This is the gatekeeper for today. He has met with Ancestor Tianwen."
Chen Minghe quickly looked at the gatekeeper and asked, "What does that person look like?"
The gatekeeper's eyes showed recollection as he said, "Reporting to...Reporting to the Third Elder, that person looked very young and had an ordinary appearance."
Chen Minghe's brows furrowed even deeper: "What about your cultivation level?"
The gatekeeper shook his head: "That person used some kind of secret technique, he looked just like an ordinary person... However, he has mastered a terrifying secret art!" There was a hint of fear in the gatekeeper's voice: "He only glanced at me, and I couldn't move at all... It was as if time had stopped."
The gatekeepers recalled the terrifying method that rendered them unable to move; in that instant of confinement, their consciousness seemed to have traversed a century.
The feeling of being unable to move for a hundred years is worse than death.
"...In short, that person's strength is unfathomable. I dare not be careless, so I came to report to you immediately."
After the gatekeeper finished speaking, he lowered his head and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
I saw the gatekeeper trembling all over.
A look of seriousness flashed in Chen Minghe's eyes.
If what the gatekeeper said is true, then the methods Chen Tianwen displayed were at least at the Nascent Soul level.
It's unlikely that they would send a Nascent Soul or higher cultivator to impersonate Chen Tianwen.
However, just to be on the safe side, he decided to meet this person in person.
Thinking of this, he turned to the two of them and said, "Come on, take me to see him first."
Soon, led by the gatekeeper, the group headed to a reception room inside the Chen residence.
Chen Minghe concealed himself and floated in mid-air.
From afar, one could see a young man in white sitting upright in the reception room, holding a cup of spiritual tea in his hand. Judging by his appearance alone, just as the gatekeeper had said, he was ordinary, only handsome.
Even with ordinary features, the young man exuded an otherworldly aura.
Chen Minghe was slightly surprised and released his divine sense to try to probe Chen Tianwen's cultivation level.
However, the divine sense only returned a sense of obscurity, as if it were sinking into the unfathomable depths of the sea.
Based on these two points, he couldn't be sure whether Chen Tianwen in front of him was really that ancestor.
"It seems we have no choice but to use the blood-dripping mirror."
Chen Minghe thought to himself, and a flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, producing a precious mirror.
As a large family with a history of ten thousand years.
The Chen family's bloodline is spread throughout Yunzhou, and even in several other states.
The Chen family bloodline naturally became increasingly complex.
To avoid confusion about bloodlines and to prevent people from impersonating Chen family descendants and claiming ancestry.
They specially crafted this Xuan-grade spiritual artifact, the Blood-Dripping Mirror.
This treasure records the Chen family's bloodline.
All it takes is a drop of blood on the mirror.
That would verify whether someone has the blood of the Chen family.
"Go, make him put a drop of blood on the mirror."
Having said that, he handed the precious mirror to the steward beside him.
As long as it can be verified that this person has the bloodline of the Chen family.
Then the authenticity of this person's identity is almost certainly true.
