"So, they think that we, the nine aristocratic families, went to the East Coast to sow discord?" Ji Yang was a little angry.
If that was really the case, wouldn't the nine aristocratic families become someone else's scapegoats?
"I don't know. I'm just speculating. The matter of the dynasty was hidden very well. The war started two years ago, but it lasted for about a year. We only got the news now.
It's been a year since the war ended, but the dynasty didn't do anything. Maybe they were investigating the mastermind during this year, "Ji Xian speculated.
"In the end, they investigated for a year and finally regarded us, the nine aristocratic families, as the mastermind?" Ji Yang said with dissatisfaction.
"I don't know what the results of their investigation are, but for now, it seems that apart from the nine aristocratic families, no one dares to challenge the authority of the dynasty!" Ji Xian also felt a headache.
He could only hope that these were just his own speculations. If they were really targeted by the dynasty, it would be troublesome.
The dynasty was really too powerful. If they continued to fight with them, the nine aristocratic families would definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Then, aren't we becoming the scapegoats for nothing?" Ji Yang said.
"Don't worry. We still don't know if the Chen family is really controlled by the dynasty, but we must be prepared. Otherwise, if something really happens, it will be too late for us to think of countermeasures, "Ji Xian said.
"Father is right! But I'm a little curious. If the nine aristocratic families weren't the ones who did the thing on the East Coast, then who was it?
How dare they attack the dynasty and frame us, the Nine Great Clans? "Ji Yang asked in confusion." That's right.
"This is also what I'm thinking about. No matter who caused this, what worries me is that the world may be changing!" Ji Xian said.
He believed that none of the nine aristocratic families would dare to do such a thing. However, apart from the nine aristocratic families, for now, the forces that were stronger than the nine aristocratic families were basically in a state of seclusion.
Moreover, they had no reason to suddenly attack the dynasty and cause chaos in the cultivation world.
However, the forces that were weaker than the nine aristocratic families were not even comparable to the nine aristocratic families, so they were not qualified to fight with the dynasty.
Therefore, this made him very puzzled. Just what kind of force had such great ability and courage?
From the results of the war in the Cultivation World more than a year ago, this force did not suffer any losses. The ones who suffered losses were the forces of the dynasties.
After all, it was a cultivation war that lasted for nearly a year. With such a long period of consumption, the losses of the dynasty would definitely be immeasurable.
However, the forces that were trying to sow discord had disappeared without a trace, which made it difficult for them to find the culprits behind the scenes.
He didn't know where such a force came from. Perhaps, the entire Cultivation World would fall into chaos. Just thinking about it made him feel mentally and physically exhausted.
"Dad, something's not right!" Ji Yang suddenly said in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"Father, think about it. If there really is another force, then what do you think the Chen family's matter is directly related to this force? It's not that we've become their scapegoats. It's possible that the dynasty didn't even do anything to us! "Ji Yang said.
"Hmm? What you said is not impossible, but why would this force make a move against the Chen Family? What was his purpose? Moreover, did they only want to deal with the Chen Clan or the Nine Super Clans? These are all unknown! "Ji Xian said.
As for Ji Yang's thoughts, it was indeed very possible. Right now, they only felt that the Chen family's situation was not quite right, but who was the force behind the scenes? It seemed that anyone could do it.
Moreover, this mysterious force even dared to make a move against the dynasty, let alone the Nine Super Clans.
However, if this force was only targeting the Chen Family, then they didn't have to worry. But if it was targeting the Nine Super Clans, then none of them would be able to escape unscathed.
"I wonder if this Cheng Yu has anything to do with those forces?" Ji Yang said.
"So this is information that we can't know. If we can know this, then it will be easy to know if the Chen Family is really in trouble!" Ji Xian said.
"So we can only wait until tomorrow!"
"Well, that's all we can do now. Let's see if we can find the answer tomorrow. If the Chen Family is fine, that would be for the best. Otherwise, we wouldn't even know if we were targeted Ji Xian nodded and said.

The next day, the lively atmosphere of the Chen family continued.
However, the joyous event was changed. Today was the day of the Chen family's goddess's marriage. For many young male cultivators, their dream of being a goddess was completely shattered on this day.
In the future, the goddess would belong to someone else. Even if they wanted it, it would be useless.
However, what surprised the Chen family the most was that the Patriarchs of the Eight Great Families hadn't left yet. Instead, they stayed to watch the Chen family's lively wedding.
And today was also the first time that Chen Hongyuan had used the power of the Patriarch after becoming the new Patriarch of the Chen family.
Fortunately, Xinran's wedding had been arranged a long time ago, so even if Chen Hongyuan had just become the Patriarch, it wouldn't affect the wedding in the slightest.
Besides, Xinran was his sister who had the best relationship with him, and it was his first task after taking office. Naturally, he couldn't be careless.
Since the Chen family had been in seclusion for so many years, they didn't have much contact with the outside world. Even if the Patriarchs of the Nine Great Families were present, the Chen family didn't inform everyone about the wedding.
Therefore, there weren't many outsiders who could witness the wedding today, and only a few people from the Nine Great Families were present.
But even so, the Chen family itself had hundreds of thousands of people. With so many people, it was enough to support a grand wedding.
Different from yesterday's excitement, today's atmosphere was much more festive. The entire Chen family was hung with red silk and red lanterns. The entire Chen family was bustling, and one could tell that it was especially festive.
"Father, should I embarrass the groom from Limitless Palace today?" Situ Yongkang said.
Regarding this wedding, he naturally wasn't too happy. Although he wasn't infatuated with Chen Xinran, he hadn't even seen her face before.
But at least he wanted to marry this woman, and in the end, she was snatched away by someone from Limitless Palace. Naturally, he wouldn't feel comfortable in his heart.
Previously, he had discussed with Situ Xiong that even if he couldn't marry Chen Xinran, he would embarrass the Chen family and the groom. He might even force the Chen family to kick the groom away.
"Don't act recklessly, the current situation is special. The most important thing for us is to understand the situation of the Chen family!" Situ Xiong said with a straight face.
In the bustling atmosphere of gongs and drums, Chen Xinran and her groom finally appeared on the long red carpet of Jade Flower Peak.
The two of them held hands and slowly walked towards Jade Flower Palace.
