Otherwise, even with him in charge of the Chen family in the desolate city, it would be difficult for them to develop back to their original state.
Because the Chen family in the desolate city is now full of small fry in the Qi Refining stage.
Only the father and a few elders were at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Even placed in the vast Yunzhou, it's not enough to even look at.
Not to mention, they couldn't possibly maintain the dignity of the Chen family, one of the three major clans.
And with these clan elders...
Many things become easier to handle.
So Chen Tianwen waved his hand, signaling the elders to stand up.
Then he said, "Now, the Chen family has just experienced turmoil and everything is in need of rebuilding. You should first stabilize the situation and then announce to Yunzhou that the main branch has been replaced."
Chen Tianwen planned to discuss with his father the possibility of moving the family directly here.
Jingjiang City is the ancestral home of the Chen family. The Chen family has been operating here for tens of thousands of years. It has both manpower and resources. It is surrounded by mountains and water, and is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It is much better than that desolate city.
Chen Tianwen had no interest in finding a new place for his family to settle down.
It's not that it's impossible.
It's very likely that in the end, after searching around, it won't be as good as Jingjiang City.
However, the original Chen family had suffered severe damage to its core area during a major battle, so it was inevitable that they would have to undertake a major reconstruction.
However, these were not issues that Chen Tianwen needed to worry about.
He doesn't have that much energy; it's better to leave it to these worshippers.
"We obey!"
The elders bowed and accepted the order.
They had already put themselves into their new roles and begun to follow Chen Tianwen's orders.
Seeing this, Chen Tianwen nodded and then prepared to leave.
He couldn't wait to go to his loved ones.
However, at that moment, a voice called out to him.
"Master, there is one more question."
Chen Tianwen looked toward the source of the voice and found that it was Chen Jiuzhe, the first person to address him as the head of the family.
Chen Jiuzhe frowned and said, "Patriarch, former patriarch... what should we do with the traitor Chen Mingxuan and his family?"
What do you think we should do?
Chen Tianwen did not provide an answer, but instead posed the question to the assembled deities.
He wanted to take this opportunity to see how the worshippers would react.
This is the moment when you can truly see a person's true nature.
"The traitor Chen Mingxuan has colluded with the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group to sell out his clan for personal gain. His crimes are heinous. I suggest that he be expelled from the Chen family!"
"As for his family, they shall all be executed to warn the other members of the clan and prevent them from committing such a rebellious act!"
Chen Jiuze said through gritted teeth.
The other elders nodded in agreement.
"That's a good suggestion, I support it!"
"Very well, Chen Mingxuan is the most wicked of all, he deserves this retribution!"
"As the head of the family, to commit such a heinous act, he deserves to die!"
Hearing the elders agree.
Chen Tianwen shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said, "Chen Mingxuan's collusion with Li Feng to kill me is his own business. His family is completely innocent. Let them be classified as collateral relatives and set up their own households."
"As for Chen Mingxuan, strip him of his surname Chen, remove his ancestral tablet from the ancestral hall, and allow his family to build a cenotaph... That's it!"
After some deliberation, Chen Tianwen finalized the matter.
The other elders naturally had no objections.
"While I'm away, listen to Chen Jiuze. If you encounter any major issues that you can't handle, put them aside for now and deal with them when I return."
Chen Tianwen then gave further instructions.
Although he had a deep understanding of Chen Jiuze.
But based on what he just saw, he at least knew that this person was genuinely loyal to him.
Entrusting things to him is the most appropriate choice.
"Jiuze thanks the patriarch for his trust!"
Upon hearing that Chen Tianwen had actually appointed him to lead all the elders, a look of excitement flashed across Chen Jiuzhe's face.
The other elders were either envious, jealous, or regretful that they hadn't realized it sooner and missed this incredible opportunity.
Then Chen Tianwen added, “As long as you all work hard, it’s not impossible for your entire clan to join my lineage in the future!”
Upon hearing Chen Tian ask this question, everyone's face lit up with excitement.
Offering sacrifices ultimately makes one an outsider; only by becoming a clan elder can one participate in clan decision-making and even allow future generations to enjoy the same treatment as direct descendants.
This would have been almost impossible for the original Chen family.
Because the privileges for direct descendants are only offered to disciples within nine generations of the current head of the Chen family.
Beyond nine generations, they are considered collateral descendants, and the direct line will no longer provide them with cultivation resources.
At this time, the collateral disciples either went out to establish their own families or stayed at the main family to do lowly jobs and earn meager salaries.
Unless one becomes a Golden Core cultivator or a Nascent Soul cultivator, they can regain the treatment of a direct disciple.
This effectively keeps all of the Chen family's elites within the direct line.
This is also why the direct line of the Chen family has remained prosperous for so long.
"From now on, our Chen family will not be judged by bloodline, but by merit. As long as the merit is sufficient, what harm is there in joining my lineage, or even exchanging for the position of Supreme Elder?"
Chen Tianwen continued.
He looked down on the Chen family's practice of pinching off the tips of grass.
Therefore, he plans to make modifications in this area in the future.
Change the system to calculate compensation based on merit.
That's all I have to say; the rest is up to the worshippers to understand.
Chen Tianwen turned around, used the Shrinking Earth technique, and in two or three steps he was a thousand miles away, standing next to Chen Yumeng.
"Congratulations to the head of the family!"
The voices of the other Chen family members echoed from afar, like thunder, resounding throughout the entire world.
