Gu Chen's explanation seemed to make sense, but in fact it was still perfunctory.
"Being afraid of wolves and tigers, when will our Chen clan have the chance to rise?"
Chen Shanming shook his head and disagreed with Gu Chen's idea. In his opinion, it was impossible for the two holy places to abandon their vigilance against the Chen clan at any time. Now that there is a suitable opportunity, they should fight for it.
"Great Elder, I can understand your feelings, but the Great Prophet has warned me a long time ago that his attitude is very tough and will not allow the Chen clan to take random actions and create unnecessary enemies for him."
Seeing that it was difficult to persuade, Gu Chen simply brought out the Great Prophet and made him the villain.
"Haha, it seems that the great prophet does not dare to offend the Eight-Dimensional Sage and the Liu Sage!"
The fourth elder, Chen Qinghe, sneered when he heard this, with a hint of disdain and contempt in his eyes.
Other elders did not dare to speak as boldly as he did, but they also thought so in their hearts.
In fact, if you think about it, it is understandable. Even though the great prophet of Luomen became a saint, he only made a breakthrough not long ago. How could he be compared with the Eight-Dimensional Saint and Liu Sheng who have been saints for many years?
It is taboo to extend one's hands into the territory of other saints. Without enough confidence to face the two saints, the great prophet naturally does not want to offend too much.
Anyway, Luomen's basic base is Pei Chao. At this time, ensuring the stability of Pei Chao is the most important. To be fair, if they are great prophets, they would not dare to challenge other saints rashly at this time and arouse the sensitivity of others.
To put it bluntly, the benefits that the Chen clan can bring to Luomen are limited, and the Great Prophet is unwilling to take this risk for them!
When it comes to this matter, there is no point in making things difficult for Gu Chen. All the elders are in a state of disinterest.
"Without Luo Men's permission, we, the Chen Clan, can't make our own decisions? Although we, the Chen Clan, were suppressed by all parties in the past, at least our dignity is still there. Now, what does it mean to rely on others and look at others' faces?"
The fourth elder, Chen Qinghe, was still unwilling and spoke plausibly. Gu Chen couldn't help but look at him more.
These words express the sentiments of many elders. It is really uncomfortable to give up such a good opportunity right before your eyes.
When did the Chen clan need to rely on others to survive like this?
A strong sense of grievance lingered in the hearts of many elders. The second elder's eyes flashed and said: "Why don't we kill first and then show off? As long as we seize the territory, the two holy places will definitely acquiesce that this is the meaning of the great prophet, and then the great prophet will not be able to argue.
, the most you can do is scold us, but you won’t fall out with us, right?”
These words moved many elders. Although this move was bold and might anger the Great Prophet, it was indeed feasible.
The Chen clan has already formed an alliance with Luomen. Luomen will not break the alliance because of this matter, right?
If the alliance is really broken, Luomen will only have one more enemy.
"Since the Great Prophet is afraid of offending the two Holy Lands, how dare he turn against our Chen Clan? Although our Chen Clan does not have a saint in charge now, Dingkong Mountain is here, and any saint who wants to come has to think twice."
"What's more, the ancestors just disappeared, and even the Mu Dynasty did not dare to exterminate our Chen clan because of this. If the great prophet turns against us, he will only be riding a tiger with difficulty."
"In this way, if we kill him first and then tell him later, he will most likely have to suffer the loss of being dumb and will not destroy the covenant between the two parties!"
The third elder analyzed seriously, and now more elders were interested, and even the first elder seriously considered the feasibility of the matter.
Gu Chen felt bad when he saw this. He had to admit that the analysis of the elders was correct. If the Chen clan really went against his will to grab the territory, he would have to acquiesce to their actions in the end.
The reason is very simple. The Chen clan is an important chess piece for him in the Jade Dynasty, and he will not give up.
However, it is not the right time for the Chen Clan to take action. If the Chen Clan gets involved at this time, it is inevitable that some changes will not occur.
What's more, the Chen clan may not be truly united, otherwise there would be no need for the Chen clan leader to hide from all the elders that he is not really Chen Yunfei.
Gu Chen's eyes flickered across all the elders present. Without the traitor being eliminated, the Chen clan would suffer a big loss if they rashly joined the world.
Gu Chen was thinking about what to say to make the elders retreat, when a voice came from far away in the air.
"The conflict between the two holy lands is getting more and more intense, and the losses are almost beyond their ability to bear. Now that our Chen clan has entered the world, aren't we afraid that they will be upset, put aside their past grudges, and turn against our Chen clan to make up for the losses?"
"
The person who spoke was Patriarch Chen. He transmitted the message from afar, but no one showed up. These words shocked many elders to break out in cold sweat.
"Behead first and report later. If the Great Prophet is displeased and instead supports the two Holy Lands to attack our Chen Clan, how will our Chen Clan deal with it then?"
"Don't forget, the current Chen Clan is useless. If giving up the Chen Clan can get the two Holy Lands to support Luo Men in other aspects, then the Great Prophet may not consider it!"
Patriarch Chen said again, and the expressions of the elders couldn't help but change again. Indeed, they had not considered this before!
Seeing how the originally high-spirited elders quickly became hesitant, Gu Chen couldn't help but secretly admire Patriarch Chen's eloquence.
Chief Chen knew the inside story of the alliance between the two parties. He knew very well that even if the Chen clan beheaded first and then reported later, he and the Great Prophet would not be able to break the alliance because he had the leverage.
However, Patriarch Chen still deliberately lied to get the elders to back off, which shows that he also does not support Chen Clan joining the world at this time.
Doesn’t Patriarch Chen want the Chen clan to rise again?
Of course not, he was looking forward to that day more than anyone else.
His current stance is not only to maintain the alliance between the two parties, but I am afraid there are other considerations as well.
He didn't even show his face, but only transmitted sounds through the air. Gu Chen couldn't help but guess the state of Patriarch Chen at this time.
After he gave him the Great Yuan Li Technique, Patriarch Chen entered a state of seclusion and practice. He did not support the Chen Patriarch to get into trouble at this time, probably because he did not want to affect his breakthrough.
In other words, he is already confident that he can make the Chen clan rise again in the near future...
"This matter is over now, and we, the Chen clan, will wait and see what happens!"
Patriarch Chen made the final decision and stopped talking, and the enthusiasm of the elders to kill first and then play later also died out.
The clan leader was right, if doing so would bring disaster to the Chen clan, no one among them could bear the responsibility.
"Let's go!"
The great elder sighed, rolled up his sleeves and left without saying anything to Gu Chen.
The other elders also sighed and walked away without saying goodbye to Gu Chen, obviously feeling resentful in their hearts.
"Everyone, walk slowly."
Gu Chen was polite and watched the elders leave. Most of his eyes fell on the fourth elder, Chen Qinghe, thoughtfully.
