C159 The situation of the Chen family (1/2)
”Father, we might not be able to hold on for much longer!”
In the Tiangyou City's Chen family, everyone's expression was currently solemn. In these years, the Chen family did not fight over this, and lived a comfortable life, although it was not as developed as the Qin family, nor as developed as the Qi family and Huang family, it was still impossible to replace the fourth position in the Tiangyou City.
The Chen family did not have many struggles in the mortal world, so even though their position in the Tiangyou City was not particularly high, at least they lived a good life. If one were to talk about happiness, the Chen family would definitely be higher than the other three families.
But he did not expect that all of this would have changed so much a month ago.
The encirclement from Qin Wangqi's three great families had put the Chen Family in a precarious situation. Although the Chen family had activated their great protective array and borrowed the power of the array to form a huge energy shield that covered everyone within, everyone knew in their hearts that this was just a temporary measure.
The combined strength of the three great families was already powerful, and was far beyond what the Chen family could compare to. Moreover, these few days, they discovered that their opponent's Three Spiritual Realms was actually increasing nonstop, and a lot of them were newborn faces. It was obvious that these so-called new Three Spiritual Realms were not the experts of the Tiangyou City.
The only explanation was that these people were most likely sent by the royal family.
This year, the close relationship between the Tiangyou City's Qin family and the crown prince of the imperial family, Qin Zhu, was well-known to everyone. This close interaction with the royal family made it hard for them to understand.
There could only be one explanation for all of this, and that was that the legendary Tiangyou City's Qin family was the birthplace of the Royal Qin family.
But no matter what the reason was, at this moment, it was not their true focus. Chen Yun's words made Chen Feng let out another long sigh.
In just a short span of one month, Chen Feng had aged quite a bit. He was the patriarch of the Chen family, so once a destructive family clan appeared, how would he be able to face the ancestors of the underworld?
”In that case, father, we just need to hand over the assembly token. If worst comes to worst, I won't be going to the ancient ruins anymore.”
Chen Yun's voice was almost choked with sobs, his eyes red with anger as he clenched his fists tightly. Even though he was not a hot-blooded man, he could not help but wish to fight against the three great families when he thought of the situation before him.
These people had gone too far!
For the sake of an assembly token, they actually tried to exterminate the Chen Clan. After all, he was the one who had obtained the Assembly Badge. If he didn't steal it, why would he be guilty of such a crime?
”If it was only the assembly order, it wouldn't have taken so long for the three great clans to join hands. Their real goal is not to obtain the gathering order, but to subvert the entire Chen family this time. ”
As the Chen Family Patriarch, Chen Feng saw through the problem even more than the others. The outside world claimed that it was a gathering order, they hoped to use the gathering order to snatch the resources left behind in the ancient ruins to strengthen the Tiangyou City. In their eyes, the Chen family was the weakest, and they were not worthy of having the gathering order at this time, but people with discerning eyes would have already seen that all of this was just an excuse.
But even if they had to hand over their assembly token, the three great families would still find an excuse to deal with the Chen family.
Ever since the last time he had openly spoke up for Qin Shaojie, the Chen family had been completely excluded by the three great families of Tiangyou City. In addition, he had also heard about some of the things that happened in the Holy Flame Academy. The disciples of the three great families died in the Holy Flame Academy, although the Holy Flame Academy did not say that they knew how they died, but Chen Feng knew, that it was definitely related to Qin Shaojie.
Right now, other than Qin Feng, only Chen Yun was in Holy Flame Academy, this situation had broken the so-called balance, they obviously did not wish for the Chen Family to be able to stand alone in Holy Flame Academy with disciples. Furthermore, he had a different philosophy from the Qin family. The relationship between the two families had always been so close that it would only be a matter of time before he reached this step.
”Father, what should we do?” ”The person you're waiting for, when will he appear? If he doesn't appear now, the Chen Clan won't be able to hold on any longer.”
How could Chen Yun not know of some of these things? But the current situation did not wait for anyone. As long as they could temporarily protect the Chen family, if this energy shield was broken, the entire Chen family would be destroyed.
At the start, his father had always said that he was waiting for people, waiting for people. But now, there was still no reinforcements yet, and not to mention the other people from the Chen Family, even Chen Yun started to suspect if his father was doing this to stabilize the human heart.
Sigh!
Chen Feng finally sighed at what Chen Yun had heard.
In the entire Chen family, only he knew, that Chen Yuner was the only one who could save the Chen family. If Chen Yuner was here, how could things have developed to such a state? Forget about the Tiangyou City's Qin family, even if the three great families teamed up with Chen Yuner, they wouldn't have the slightest bit of worry.
But this time, Chen Yuner was not in the Tiangyou City. Every year, she would leave the Tiangyou City at a specified time, and the time when the three great families attacked the Chen Family was the exact time Chen Yuner left the Tiangyou City.
After calculating the time, Chen Yuner should have returned, but for some reason, he did not appear this time. No one knew what exactly happened to Chen Yuner nor could they contact him.
Chen Feng placed all his hope on Chen Yuner, which was why he was telling everyone that there would definitely be reinforcements. But just as Chen Yun had said, time truly did not wait for anyone.
”Oh, Yun'er, do you know that the Chen family has encountered the greatest crisis in decades? Where exactly are you?”
