Listening to the discussions around him and the aggressiveness of several elders, the middle-aged man clenched his fists and suddenly shouted angrily: "That's enough."
This loud shout, mixed with the energy of the sword, made everyone around the martial arts arena feel their eardrums hurting, as if they were about to burst at any time. Even the elders on the stage could not help but take a step back, except for the eldest elder.
At this time, Chen Tian was still looking at the grading stone blankly. He never thought that he would not have his natal sword. Although he always believed that he, Chen Tian, was not a waste, when these eight words appeared on the grading stone, his
All hope is lost.
Without the natal sword, it means that you cannot practice and will be ridiculed by the world. Even a beggar on the roadside is nobler than him. Something that may not happen once in millions of years actually happened to him.
Chen Tian's mind was now blank, standing there like a wooden stake. Even Chen Qi next to him didn't react for a moment.
After calming everyone down, the middle-aged man and Ye Xinrou quickly walked down the platform and came to Chen Tian. Looking at Chen Tian who had no energy in his eyes, Ye Xinrou couldn't help but shed tears.
She quickly stretched out her hand to wipe it off, and then said to Chen Tian with a forced smile: "Tian'er, it's okay. Maybe there is something wrong with the test stone. Let's go back first and test again next time."
Chen Tian didn't react at all to Ye Xinrou's words. He still stood there with a blank look on his face, and his already pale face became even paler.
The great elder on the high platform sneered and said, "It's trash, it's trash. Do you still want to deceive yourself and others?"
"Shut up." The middle-aged man turned around and shouted angrily.
The Great Elder was not afraid at all and looked directly at the middle-aged man and said: "Am I wrong? As the leader of the clan, you should know how much influence a person without a natal sword will have on our Chen clan.
If one of us, the Chen clan, fails, we will be ridiculed by everyone in the world, and we will never be able to raise our heads in front of others."
He paused, and then continued: "If I were you and my son was a waste without a life sword, I would have resigned from the position of clan leader and left the Chen clan long ago, and would never have the slightest impact on the Chen clan.
"
Hearing the vicious words of the great elder, the middle-aged man wanted to refute, but he couldn't. Although he was a bit exaggerated, what he said was true. If word of this incident spread, it would definitely have an impact on the Chen clan.
Seeing that the middle-aged man had nothing to say, the great elder spoke again: "Before this matter spreads out, I hope you can make plans early. If the Chen clan is dragged into the abyss because of this matter, how will you deal with it?
The ancestors of the Chen clan, how can you have the face to see them after your death? Do you think so?"
The second elder, fifth elder and others echoed: "Yes, clan leader, this matter is not a trivial matter. The best way now is for you to step down as clan leader and leave the Chen clan. Only in this way can we wash away the shame of our clan."
.”
"You...the clan leader treats you very well, and you actually step down from your position as clan leader for such a thing. Do you still have a conscience?" The third elder trembled angrily and pointed at several people.
"Third Elder, what are you talking about? We are considering the future of the Chen clan." Several elders immediately said.
As they said that, they moved closer to the great elder, and immediately divided into two teams on the high platform, the third elder, the fourth elder, the sixth elder, the eighth elder and others were in one team, and the other six elders were in the other team.
Seeing this, the great elder sneered and said, "Chief, there are six elders who have agreed to step down from your position. What else do you have to say?"
The middle-aged man clenched his fists and looked at the Great Elder and others with cold eyes, but the situation was over and no matter how angry he was, it would be useless.
"Clan leader, hand over the clan leader's token!" the great elder directly extended his hand and said.
After hearing this, Chen Tian, who was still dazed, suddenly came back to his senses. His face was still pale, but it no longer had the lifeless look before, and there was a hint of color in his eyes.
He can be decadent and give up on himself, but he will never let his father be humiliated.
He took two steps forward and came to the middle-aged man's side. He looked at the great elder and said, "You keep saying that you want to step down from my father's position as patriarch. Then who will be the patriarch, you?"
"You don't need to worry about this. We have made our own decision. Whoever has the ability to make the Chen clan prosper will naturally be the clan leader." The elder said casually.
"What a self-made decision. You have been plotting this day for a long time!" Chen Tian sneered.
"Don't be so rude. If it weren't for a useless son like you, we wouldn't have stepped down from your father's position as clan leader. This is all your problem." The second elder said coldly.
"What do you mean, if I wasn't useless, you wouldn't step down from my father's position as clan leader?" Chen Tian asked.
The second elder was obviously stunned for a moment, but thinking that Chen Tian was already a complete waste, he said without any scruples: "That's natural. If you are not a waste, the reputation of the Chen clan will not be damaged. We
That way you won’t step down from your father’s position as clan leader.”
"Okay! In this case, do you dare to give me three days? If I am still useless after three days, my father's position as clan leader will be given up to me. If I am not useless, then you will cut off your own arm and get out of the Chen clan.
"Chen Tian said loudly.
"Hmph, why do we have to cut off one of our own arms, but you just hand over the position of clan leader." The First Elder looked at Chen Tian coldly and said.
"Okay, if I am still useless after three days, in addition to my father handing over the position of clan leader, I will also use myself to exterminate the clan in exchange for a Gangqi Stone Mountain. Before the news that I have not awakened the natal sword has spread,
I believe I still have some value, provided you block the news." Chen Tian said with a smile.
"No." Ye Xinrou and the middle-aged man said in unison.
"Tian'er, this matter is no child's play." Ye Xinrou came up and grabbed Chen Tian's hand and said.
"Tian'er, don't worry about this, I have my own plan." The middle-aged man said directly.
In three days, it is impossible for Chen Tian to turn from a waste to a genius. Losing his position as clan leader will be a trivial matter. If Chen Tianzhen trades himself to solve the clan for a Gangqi stone mountain, then there will definitely be no return. Jie clan and
The Chen clan are sworn enemies, and they will never let Chen Tian go.
The two middle-aged men thought that Chen Tian's words were just a delaying tactic. Thinking of this, the middle-aged man took out the patriarch's token and threw it towards the great elder. He would never let Chen Tian go.
adventure.
But his hand was firmly grasped by Chen Tian, who looked at him seriously and said, "Father, you have been protecting me for sixteen years. This time I will protect you. I hope you believe me."
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Tian's firm eyes, and finally slowly put down his hand and said, "Okay, I believe in you as a father."
"No, Zhentian, do you want to watch our son die?" Ye Xinrou Lihua objected with rain.
The middle-aged man looked at her and said, "Xinrou, let's just trust our son this time! At worst, I will take you to escape together." This latter sentence was what he transmitted to Ye Xinrou.
"But..." Ye Xinrou wanted to say something else, but the middle-aged man gave her a reassuring look, and she could only swallow her words.
