"How is this possible? Chen Hongxing injured the Old Ancestor of the Chen Family, but Chen Hongyuan defeated him? This is impossible! "Situ Xiong couldn't believe it.
If what Jiang Wuya said was true, wouldn't Chen Hongyuan's current strength be comparable to the Old Ancestor of the Chen Family?
This was simply impossible. He had seen Chen Hongyuan fight at the foot of the Emerald Cloud Peak a few days ago.
Although his strength had improved a lot, it was absolutely impossible to say that his strength was comparable to the Old Ancestor of the Chen Family.
"Situ Family Head, I know it's hard to believe, but I'm sure that this news is absolutely true! However, their strength isn't really that strong! "Jiang Wuya said.
"What do you mean? Could it be that the strength of the Old Ancestor of the Chen Family is not high? That's also impossible! The strength standard of the Old Ancestor of each family is the same. No matter how weak his strength is, he should at least be an Itinerant Immortal expert. Chen Hongyuan's strength can't be compared to a real Itinerant Immortal! "
"I heard that the Old Ancestor is at the Crossing Calamity Stage!" Jiang Wuya added.
"In that case, it's even more impossible. Jiang Family Head, don't keep us guessing anymore. Tell me what's going on!" Situ Xiong said discontentedly.
This guy always said half of what he wanted to say, which annoyed him very much.
"The identity of the Old Ancestor is at the Crossing Calamity Stage is true, and so is his strength. However, I know that Chen Hongyuan has such powerful strength because he took an Immortal Pill!" Jiang Wuya said.
"Took an Immortal Pill? If that's the case, it's possible! So, both of them took an Immortal Pill? "Situ Xiong frowned.
He knew a little about Immortal Pills, especially during the Nine Family Grand Competition. Situ Yongwen was unconscious, and it was only after taking an Immortal Pill that he managed to make it to the last battle with Chen Hongyuan.
Otherwise, the Situ Family wouldn't have gotten the third place. He understood the power of an Immortal Pill.
However, the Immortal Pill that he gave to Situ Yongwen was for healing. If Chen Hongyuan took an Immortal Pill to enhance his strength, it seemed possible for him to defeat the Old Ancestor of the Chen Family.
However, what surprised him was that the two brothers both took out immortal pills at the end of the battle.
Although this Immortal Pill was powerful, it had a fatal weakness, especially for cultivators who had yet to reach the Tribulation Passing Stage.
Even with his current strength, it was impossible for him to use the Immortal Elixir. He could only rely on the help of a Tribulation Passing Ancestor.
But what puzzled him was that if the Chen brothers used the elixir in this situation, would the Chen family's Crossing Tribulation Ancestor be willing to help? Wasn't this clearly telling the two brothers to kill each other?
Or could it be that the Chen family was willing to sacrifice a successor in order to find a suitable family head?
No matter how Si Tuxiong thought about it, he still felt that there were too many unreasonable things.
If the Chen brothers used immortal pills, then in terms of strength, it might make sense.
After all, the power of immortal pills was immeasurable. At the very least, he did not fully understand immortal pills yet.
Moreover, immortal pills were so precious. Would the Chen family allow them to use two immortal pills in this situation?
"That should be the case. Of course, this is not the strangest thing. The strangest thing is that when they used the immortal pills, they did not receive the help of the Tribulation Passing Stage Ancestor. Instead, they released the power of the immortal pills themselves!" Jiang Wuya continued.
"What? You mean they absorbed the immortal pills themselves? How is that possible? They are only at the Great Vehicle Stage. How could they absorb the immortal pills themselves? "Si Tuxiong was really shocked.
If they could absorb the immortal pills themselves, then there would be no need to seek the permission of the Chen family. They could use the immortal pills as long as the immortal pills belonged to them.
However, the problem was that cultivators below the Tribulation Passing Stage, including Disbanded Immortals, could not use the immortal pills. The Chen brothers were only at the Great Vehicle Stage. How could they absorb the immortal pills themselves?
"That's why they said that Chen Hongxing was possessed by the devil. He lost control of the immortal pills because of the backlash of the immortal pills. That's why he injured the Chen family's Ancestor," Jiang Wuya said.
"Chen Hongxing was possessed by the devil?" Si Tuxiong was shocked.
"Yes, that's what they said!"
"If Chen Hongxing was only possessed by the devil, even if he injured the Chen family's Ancestor, it wouldn't be a crime worthy of death. Why did he run away from the Chen family?" Si Tuxiong was confused.
If Chen Hongxing was possessed by the devil, then even if he injured the Chen family's Ancestor, it must have been an unintentional act. Even if the Chen family wanted to punish him, they wouldn't sentence him to death. There was no need for him to leave the Chen family.
However, now that he had run away from the Chen family, wouldn't that mean that he had fled from the Chen family?
In that case, even if it wasn't a crime worthy of death, it would be a crime worthy of death.
Could it be that because of this, the Chen family felt that this was a disgrace to the Chen family? That's why they didn't want to mention Chen Hongxing?
"I heard that Chen Hongxing was very terrifying after he was possessed by the devil. He lost his consciousness and killed everyone he saw. Even many people from the Chen family were killed by him. Therefore, under such circumstances, if he didn't run away, he would definitely be sentenced to death!" Jiang Wuya explained.
"I see!" Hearing this, Si Tuxiong nodded.
If this was the case, then it was indeed a bit complicated.
Although the Ancestor of the Chen family was a person of virtue and prestige, if he didn't care about it, then Chen Hongxing would be fine. At most, he would be severely punished.
However, if he killed many disciples of the Chen family, then the consequences would be a bit severe. This was not something that could be easily forgiven.
"Yes, so if Chen Hongxing didn't run away, he would definitely die!" Jiang Wuya said.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing strange about this. Chen Hongyuan is indeed the most suitable family head. Then, what did Family Head Jiang mean just now?" Si Tuxiong was puzzled.
After knowing this important news, he felt that it was completely reasonable for Chen Hongyuan to become the new family head of the Chen family. It didn't seem strange at all. Therefore, he didn't need to ask Situ Yongkang to investigate anything.
"However, I heard that the reason why the Chen family is willing to let Chen Hongyuan become the family head of the Chen family isn't that simple!" Jiang Wuya continued.
"What do you mean?" Si Tuxiong frowned.
"I wonder if Family Head Situ knows who Chen Xinran is going to marry tomorrow?" Jiang Wuya asked.
"Isn't it someone from Limitless Palace? Is there a problem? "
