Chen Shanming left Gu Chen's residence with a disappointed face.
He didn't expect that even though they had a good conversation a few days ago, he thought that the matter was 100% sure, so he started to make preparations. Unexpectedly, Gu Chen poured a basin of cold water on him.
The Great Prophet disagrees!
A simple message, without any explanation as to why he disagreed, killed his Chen clan's ambition to rise again, and he could only give up such a great opportunity in frustration!
But he couldn't get angry yet. Although the Chen clan and Luo Men were allies, they obviously needed Luo Men more. He could only grimace and think about how to explain to the many elders later.
The elders of the Chen Clan who had no business to attend to were almost all staying in the Elder Hall at the moment, and were very concerned about the first battle of the rebirth of the Chen Clan.
There is no other way, the Chen clan is so poor that they can't get rid of the problem. Over the years, their elders have also been stretched thin, and they have long been looking forward to the opportunity to get rid of poverty and become rich.
Chen Shanming's figure appeared on the mountain road, walking all the way towards the Elder Hall. Upon seeing this, many elders' eyes lit up and they immediately gathered around him.
"Great Elder, how is it? Did the Great Prophet agree?" the second elder asked expectantly.
Chen Shanming looked at the elders and managed to put on a smile on his face. "The great prophet said that now is not the right time."
Many elders were disappointed and even a little stunned for a moment. In their opinion, the time was perfect now!
"Now is not the right time, when will it be?" the second elder asked anxiously.
"The Great Prophet didn't say much about this, he just asked us to wait."
Chen Shanming replied, feeling a little bitter in his heart.
In fact, the Great Prophet didn't say that at all, he just rejected them outright through Yun Fei's mouth.
But he couldn't say that. The elders had been looking forward to this for a long time, but now the plan was aborted before it even started. It was difficult for them emotionally and it was easy for them to get into unnecessary trouble.
"How did the Great Prophet answer? Did that boy Yunfei discuss it with the other party and tell him what this matter means to our Chen clan?"
Seeing that Chen Shanming said that the Great Prophet asked them to wait, but gave an ambiguous answer, many elders asked questions one after another, and their words were somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Chen.
"Yunfei...should have tried his best."
Chen Shanming remembered the scene when he met Gu Chen and his plain tone of voice. He wanted to speak for him, but he couldn't.
He has obviously told the other party about the significance of this matter to the Chen family, but for some reason, he always feels that the other party does not care.
Seeing Chen Shanming's tone, many elders immediately concluded that Gu Chen had not tried his best on this matter, and their already disappointed and dissatisfied mood broke out.
"Yunfei has been with the Great Prophet of Luomen for so long. Has he forgotten that he is a member of the Chen clan?"
"As Pei Huang's teacher, that boy has no shortage of training resources. How could he be like us, thinking so hard every day about how to provide elixirs to the younger members of the clan!"
The elders said something to each other, and their good impression of the youngest elder in the clan dropped to the lowest level.
"Everyone, don't think so. Yunfei may have lost some of his relationship with us all year round, but he must be caring about our clan. The great prophet is foresighted and has calculated everything. He asked us to wait, so he must be there.
intention."
Chen Shanming reassured everyone that dissatisfaction could not be allowed to spread like this, otherwise it would be detrimental to future alliances.
"What other intentions does the great prophet have? The Pei Dynasty is now newly established and needs to recuperate. He is not willing to offend the Jade Clan and the two Holy Lands too much for our Chen Clan!"
"If we can't get the mineral veins from Changxi County, the only ones affected will be my Chen clan. What does it have to do with him?"
Fourth Elder Chen Qinghe couldn't help but say something that everyone wanted to say but didn't dare to say, which made many elders feel sad for a moment.
"Be careful! Such words are not conducive to the alliance between the two parties!"
Chen Shanming immediately refuted it. If these words fell into the ears of the saint from Luomen, the consequences would not be good.
"What alliance? Great Elder, don't you find it strange?"
The fourth elder did not intend to stop there. Instead, he continued to talk: "To put it bluntly, the alliance between the Chen clan and Luomen came very suddenly. It was all the intention of the clan leader alone. There was no discussion with the Council of Elders in advance!"
When these words came out, Chen Shanming was slightly silent. He was really dissatisfied with the clan leader's move of beheading first and then telling the story. You should know that in terms of his status in the clan, he was no better than his opponent, but he was completely kept in the dark about this matter in advance.
"Besides, what kind of alliance is this? Luomen took over the entire Dasheng Dynasty at once, but it didn't give us any benefits. Instead, it made us the center of the storm and once again aroused the vigilance of the major forces in the Jade Dynasty."
"The alliance is supposed to help each other, so even if the Great Prophet doesn't want us to interfere with the mines in Chauncey County, he should at least be more generous and cede some of Pei Dynasty's interests to us, right?"
"That boy Yunfei is also ridiculous. In my opinion, he has long forgotten that he is a member of the Chen clan, and his loyalty is questionable!"
The fourth elder's words were extremely inflammatory and accurately hit the true thoughts of many elders. For a moment, everyone was silent, their eyes flickering.
"Even if what you say makes sense, so what? Don't forget, the situation is stronger than the people, and we can't afford to offend the great prophet!"
Chen Shanming gave a stern warning, worrying that the elders would continue to speak carelessly or even do stupid things.
"If I had known this, it would be better not to form an alliance."
The fourth elder muttered, knowing that the elder would get angry if he continued talking, so he stopped talking.
"Okay, now that the matter is over, we can only do what the great prophet wants."
"Restrain the members of the clan. The old man from Changxi County will also give instructions. If the Jade clan and the two holy places want to grab the mineral veins, let them grab it. I, the Chen clan, will not participate!"
Chen Shanming reminded seriously and sighed inwardly.
Although the Chen clan was poor and secluded from the outside world before, they were still very united.
But now that it has not yet been revived, internal conflicts have arisen. The elders who were originally considerate of each other have begun to doubt each other because of the mineral veins.
As the great elder, he has the obligation to maintain the unity of the ethnic group. This situation is really not a good thing.
Since they failed to get the support of the Great Prophet, there was nothing to discuss at the elders' meeting, and many elders quickly left.
Fourth Elder Chen Qinghe left the Presbyterian Hall and quickly returned to his residence. Not long after, he left Dingkong Mountain and entered the city at the foot of the mountain.
He disguised himself and stayed in a farmhouse in the city for about half a stick of incense, and then left quietly.
And not long after he left, someone in the farmhouse also left in a hurry, heading outside the Chen family's hermitage...
On Dingkong Mountain, since he rejected the Great Elder, it has become a bit awkward to move around within the Chen Clan. Gu Chen simply stayed in his residence most of the time to practice the secret art of Xingyi Weaving.
As the contact person between the Chen clan and Luomen, he could have chosen to return to Peichao, where he would be his base camp and where he would be more comfortable.
However, the Pei Dynasty was prospering under the governance of Liu Yan and Tang Xuance, and Wuji Tyrannosaurus Rex was in charge, so it was of little use for him to stay there.
On the contrary, this Jade Dynasty has a lot of room for display, especially after mastering the flaws in the world of divine movement.
Although he stays on Dingkong Mountain all day long, by sneaking into the travel world of the Jade Clan, Baqi Holy Land and Qingliu Holy Land, he can know many unknown secrets and even be able to keep track of their movements at any time.
At the same time, this is also a kind of practice in the secret art of Xingyi Weaving. Every time he returns from exploring the world of travel, his secret art energy is almost exhausted. However, after recharging the energy, the secret art will improve significantly.
During this process, Gu Chen also made another discovery, that is, his Tian Juansi seemed to be alive.
That's right, it's just that it's alive. Tian Cangsi, who was originally unconscious, slowly began to possess some spirituality.
This is an extremely incredible thing. Tianwansi is just refined energy, not matter, let alone life. How could such a change occur?
Gu Chen is not sure whether this change occurred because the practice of Xingyi Weaving Secret Technique itself will produce such an effect, or because he has stayed in the world of fugues for a long time.
The Immortal World is originally a spiritual world, and Gu Chen could vaguely feel that Tian Juansi was absorbing something every time he crossed the barrier of the Immortal World.
The secret technique of the Thirty-third Heaven is becoming more and more difficult for Gu Chen to understand. It is not that he has encountered a bottleneck in his practice, but that he is confused about the path he pursues.
There are five volumes of Tianchen Wanxiang Jue, the previous Stardust Scroll, Star Core Scroll or Black Hole Scroll. No matter how difficult the secret technique is to practice, he can always see the path it implies.
Since the beginning of the Realm Scroll, or to be precise, since the emergence of the secret energy, he has been completely unable to figure out where the end of this road is.
From the very beginning, secret energy can be transformed into energy of any attribute, and the heavenly winding silk refined from it can even attack Taoist spirits of both large and small arts.
Later, he discovered that after destroying the Taoist spirit, the speed of practicing secret techniques would increase inexplicably, and the magnitude of the increase was closely related to the strength of the Taoist spirit.
Then not long ago, he discovered that Tian Juansi could actually break the boundaries of the world of travel.
Finally, there is the spirituality that Tangsi suddenly possessed this day.
All of this is unbelievable. The evolution of Tiancansi seems to be traceless, but there seems to be some hidden pattern.
Gu Chen was confused. He really didn't know what the end of this avenue was.
The future is unpredictable, but the unknown is exciting. The only thing we can do now is to try our best to get closer to the truth!
Gu Chen was wandering around in the sky all day long, but the elders of the Chen clan on Dingkong Mountain could not restrain themselves from cultivating, and were paying attention to how the situation in Changxi County, thousands of miles away, would develop all day long.
The three major forces competed for the Geng gold veins. They fought openly and secretly, and gradually became angry.
Realizing that the losses to the three parties would only get heavier if this stalemate continued, the three parties finally decided to sit down and have a serious talk.
