Chapter 276 - 276: The Invitation Sent by the Ancestor
“Besides, after this operation is over, we will be free to deal with Yang Chen and the Human King, and the successor will be the person 1 choose.”
“When the time comes, there will be a King to cover for us inside, and the Li family to cover for us outside. In addition, we will kill those who know about it. Who will suspect me?”
“Since no one suspects me, this pill is useless.”Zhou Muchun said indifferently.
When Sect Master Xu heard this, he took a deep breath.” Alright, we’ll do as you say. But Milord, let’s just destroy the Firmament Dragon Guards.”
“We can’t destroy them. This is the power of the Human King. If we destroy them, who will help the Human King cover our tracks in the future?”Zhou Muchun asked.
When Sect Master Xu heard this, he suddenly realized something and said,”Oh, 1 was wondering why you allowed these insects to wander in front of you. So that’s what you were planning.”
“It’s good that you understand.”
Zhou Muchun nodded his head in satisfaction.” These are the most loyal canine teeth 1 trained.”
“They don’t know right from wrong, they only know how to be loyal to the Human King.”
“How could I possibly cut off such perfect power?”
“Alright, it’s going to be the 3000th birthday of the first ancestor of our Zhou clan. I’m going back, so I’ll leave this place to you.”
“Remember, don’t make any trouble.”
“In addition, 1 will send Chen Yang to the capital. When the time comes, 1’11 personally test that person’s level and let you feel at ease.”
“Understood!” Sect Master Xu nodded vigorously.
As the end of the year approached, Chen Cheng also got busy.
To Core Formation and even Meridian Unsealing experts, they had a lifespan of several hundred years. The end of the year was nothing.
However, for ordinary people and Qi Refining martial artists, within their limited lifespan, every year was worth celebrating.
On the streets, red lanterns were hung everywhere. The theater and cinema also had discounts to repay the support of the people of Chen City.
Looking at the bustling Chen City, some tourists couldn’t help but sigh. To be honest, they really didn’t want to leave Chen City.
Compared to Chen City, the city they were in was like the difference between clouds and mud.
However, no matter how much they liked Chen City, this was not their home. It was better to spend the New Year at home.
“If only the Chen clan was in my city…”
After letting out an envious sigh, the traveler returned, reducing the liveliness of the bustling Chen City.
Chen Family.
Perhaps it was because the end of the year was approaching, but there were fewer things to do in Chen Cheng. This allowed Chen Yang to have time to watch the competition between the young disciples of the family.
The Chen Family Tournament was a method passed down since the establishment of the family to motivate the young clansmen.
When Yang Chen was 16 years old, he had won the championship of the family competition.
This was also the reason why Chen Tao chose to take over after Chen Yang left.
Just as Chen Yang was enjoying this moment of peace, Chen Xuan suddenly looked for him.” Master, the Deshun Prince wants to see you.””
“Oh, 1 know.”
“Sigh, I stole half a day of leisure.”After a faint sigh, Yang Chen stood up and left, heading to the reception hall to meet the Duke of Deshun.
In the guest hall, Zhou Tianli didn’t waste any time and went straight to the point,””Yang ‘er, His Majesty has sent you an invitation to attend His Majesty’s family banquet in the capital.”
“Why are you still going?” Yang Chen took the invitation in confusion.” Could it be that His Majesty has something else to tell me?””
“No.”
Zhou Tianli shook his head and explained,””The eleventh day of the first month of the third year of Qiyuan is the birthday of the first ancestor of our Zhou Clan.”
“Our Zhou Clan will invite a rank 7 faction to celebrate the thousand-year birthday of every ancestor.”
“Moreover, you’re the first ancestor of my family to ascend the stage. Naturally, we have to commemorate you.”
“Didn’t you say you’d invite a rank-7 force? Why did you invite me?”Yang Chen asked.
Upon hearing this, the Deshun Commandery Prince glanced at Chen Yang.” Your Chen family has killed two Zifu Disciples in a row. Although there isn’t much news about Shen Ma, it can be confirmed that he was a Zifu Disciple.”
“With such a valiant battle record, how could they still treat your Chen family as an eighth rank force?”
“In addition, you’re my disciple. It’s reasonable to invite you to attend the ceremony.”
Yang Chen nodded. According to Zhou Tianli, he really had to go.
“In that case, why did you come personally, Master? Just send someone to tell me the invitation and the news.”
“I’m not here just for the invitation. 1 have other things to discuss with you.”Zhou Tianli said.
Yang Chen placed the invitation on the table and said,””Please ask, Master.”
“It’s like this. 1 have to go to the ancestor’s birthday no matter what. But with my strength, if the ancestor finds out, won’t 1 be exposed?”Zhou Tianli said worriedly.
Hearing this, Chen Yang was silent for a moment. Then, he looked at Zhou Tianli,” There’s no treasure that can hide one’s aura and prevent others from looking at it?”
“Yes, 1 do. My wife once gave me a treasure like that. It’s just that at a family banquet, wouldn’t it arouse suspicion if 1 hung that treasure?”Zhou Tianli said.
“This is indeed a problem.”
Yang Chen held his chin and pondered. What kind of reason could he use to hang a treasure that could hide his cultivation?
After thinking about it, Yang Chen was still confused. He said,””Hang up first. If outsiders ask, just say that you have a breakthrough.”
“If anyone related to the ancestor asks, master, just say that you forcefully broke through and ascended the stage. In the end, your breakthrough failed and your cultivation was damaged, so you hung up a treasure to hide your aura.”
“Is this possible?” Zhou Tianli asked.
“That’s the only way. Anyway, we can’t let the news of you breaking through to the stage be exposed.”Yang Chen said.
Seeing this, Zhou Tianli nodded.
Yang Chen was a little frustrated. Since the royal family’s ancestor had a relationship with the sects outside, it was inevitable that he would obtain some treasures.
If that treasure could help the ancestor see through his master’s concealment and see through his master’s cultivation, it would be troublesome.
After thinking about it, Yang Chen could only prepare for the worst.
It seemed that he had to pull in some allies.
“Oh right, there’s one more question. Your invitation was personally sent by my royal family’s ancestor.”
“That’s why I’m suspecting that the royal family’s ancestor is up to something.”Zhou Tianli asked again.
“Hiss! There’s such a thing?”
Yang Chen was stunned. It seemed like this invitation was quite a hot topic.
“Disciple, you don’t have to worry. When the time comes, you’ll always be by my side. My royal family’s ancestor won’t attack you in front of me, right?”Zhou Tianli patted Yang Chen’s shoulder.
“Master, I suspect that our plan to spy on the ancestor has been discovered by the ancestor.”
“Otherwise, Patriarch wouldn’t have specially sent me an invitation.”Yang Chen voiced out his guess.
Zhou Tianli nodded.” That’s normal. The Heaven Dragon Guard was trained by the ancestor, so he’s naturally very sensitive to spies.”
“But you don’t have to worry. The ancestor definitely doesn’t know about the power we’re hiding in the dark..”
