(Fourth Update)
Ten days!
These were the most relaxed days of Chen Zong's life. Not only did he relax physically, but he also relaxed mentally.
Of course, Chen Zong did not give up on cultivating. He cultivated as usual.
After ten days, Meng Xinping returned to New Martial City. The forty or so Chen family members arrived safely at Royal Martial City under the escort of New Martial City's guards.
Obviously, after a few days of rest, the sickly complexion on their faces had disappeared. They gradually regained their rosy complexion and their auras had recovered.
In view of the fact that they were the Chen family members rescued by Chen Zong from the True Martial Alliance, the people of the True Martial Sect arranged a large mansion for them to live in and settle down.
In Chen Zhengtang's small courtyard, Chen Zhengtang, Chen Wuxiong, Huan Yun, Chen Zong, Chen Chuyun, and the others were all present. They were discussing a very important matter, which was to rebuild the Chen family.
Originally, this had nothing to do with Huan Yun. It was Huan Yun who had volunteered to be the Chen family's guest elder.
For the Chen family, it was a great thing that an expert at the peak of Lv 7 True Martial Realm would be the guest elder.
After all, they all knew that with Chen Zong's talent and potential, it was impossible for him to stay in the Eastern Land forever. It was only temporary. He would eventually leave here and return to the wider world of martial arts.
"Who will be the first head of the Chen family to rebuild the Chen family?" Chen Wuxiong asked.
A force must have a leader.
Chen Wuxiong did not ask this question because he wanted to be the head of the Chen family. After all, the new Chen family was not like the branch family in Xiaohu Town where he could be the head of the Blood Qi realm. He wanted Chen Zong to be the head of the Chen family.
"My father will be the head of the Chen family," Chen Zong said bluntly.
"I …" Chen Zhengtang was stunned.
When Chen Zong wanted to rebuild the Chen family, he had the idea of letting his father be the head of the Chen family.
After all, the current Chen Family was no longer the same as before. There were not many people left, and among these people, there were almost none who could be of great use. It was also impossible for him to stay in the Eastern Continent for a long time.
However, the rebuilding of the Chen family was not a small matter, and he was not just playing around. Without a doubt, his father was the person he trusted the most, and he was also quite capable.
As for his cultivation, it was not impossible for him to reach the True Martial Realm with the help of the cultivation technique and some pills that he had imparted to him.
"Father, you'll be the head of the family," Chen Zong emphasized again, his tone firm and resolute.
If his father wasn't the head of the family, Chen Zong wouldn't be so enthusiastic about the rebuilding of the Chen family.
"Zhengtang, as Chen Zong said, you'll be the head of the family." Chen Wuxiong had also thought it through. He supported Chen Zong's idea of letting Chen Zhengtang be the head of the family.
"Uncle, I also think that you should be the head of the family," Chen Chu Yun said.
"Little Brother, you agreed?" Adept Huan Yun laughed.
All of them supported him.
"Okay, I'll be the head of the family." Chen Zhengtang was also in high spirits. Now that his son, Chen Zong, was still alive and was a dragon among men, what else could he be dissatisfied with?
Since his son supported him so much, he would take the chance while he was still young to manage the Chen family well and make it stronger than before.
Chen Zhengtang didn't know that the future of the Chen family would not only be better than before, but also many times better.
…
"I agree with the rebuilding of the Chen family, but who is Chen Zhengtang?"
"I don't agree with letting a person I've never heard of be the head of the family."
"That's right, the new head of the Chen family should be elected among us."
"I suggest that Old Master Chen Zhide be the head of the family. He is highly respected."
Chen Zhide was one of the more than 20 people who were not so cooperative.
The more than 40 people in front of him were discussing. A small number of them had no objection to Chen Zhengtang, but more than 20 people were against it.
Chen Wuxiong's face was full of anger.
"You bunch of ungrateful bastards. Why don't you take a look at who it was that saved you and allowed you to survive and recover?" Chen Wuxiong rebuked angrily. However, the twenty or so people did not feel the slightest bit guilty.
"He should save us. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be in this situation today," one of them said indifferently.
"That's right. It's not enough to just save us."
Chen Zong stood in front of the crowd and listened. He didn't say a word and didn't show any expression. He let these people express their opinions until they were almost done.
"Are you all done? Is there anything else you want to add? "Chen Zong spoke with an indifferent expression and an unhurried tone.
Chen Zong's attitude was unpredictable, and no one said anything for a while.
"I agree with your opinions." Seeing that no one said anything, Chen Zong opened his mouth. His words made Chen Wuxiong and the others change their expressions greatly, but the more than 20 people showed joy.
"Good, so Elder Chen Zhide will be the new family head of the Chen family."
"Now we can't call him by his name. We should call him Family Head Chen."
The more than 20 people laughed and congratulated an old man. The old man also smiled and cupped his hands to the people around him. He tried to hide his excitement but couldn't stop himself.
He could even imagine the glorious scene in the future.
As long as he became the family head, Chen Zong would be a member of the Chen family. With his strength and talent, the Chen family would definitely develop. It wouldn't be impossible for the family's name to be passed down through the ages.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhide couldn't help but grin.
"I announce that Chen Zong is the new Great Elder of the Chen family." Chen Zhide waved his hand and immediately started to make the appointment as the family head.
"Wait." Chen Zong spoke again, which made Chen Zhide frown slightly. It seemed that the changes in a short time had made these people forget themselves.
"Great Elder, please say what you want to say." Chen Zhide knew Chen Zong's strength.
"First, I'm not your Great Elder." Chen Zong said slowly but clearly, "Second, if you want to establish a new Chen family, it's your new Chen family. You can decide who will be the family head. It has nothing to do with me."
"What … What do you mean?"
They were all confused.
"What I mean." After that, Chen Zong ignored them and looked at the others. "Those who are willing to follow me, follow me."
With that, Chen Zong strode out of the place.
"Follow me." Chen Wuxiong reacted quickly and hurriedly shouted. He quickly followed Chen Zong's footsteps. Those who stood on Chen Wuxiong's side also quickly followed. Those who were neutral thought for a while and followed. In the end, there were only 20 or so people who had always been against Chen Zong's decision.
Everyone looked at each other, and there was a big, bold word of confusion on everyone's face.
After a while, they realized that the reconstruction of the new Chen family could not be done without Chen Zong, so they quickly followed him.
However, Chen Zong had been disappointed in this group of people.
Of course, Chen Zong hoped that the Chen family could be rebuilt and revitalized. However, these 20 people obviously could not help the revival of the Chen family. They would even drag the family down and delay the revival of the Chen family.
For those who had lost their fighting spirit, it was okay to let them fill the numbers. After all, it would not cost much to raise them. Maybe there would be some good disciples among the younger generation. However, Chen Zong had made up his mind to not let these people join the Chen family that was about to be rebuilt.
They were a pile of rat shit.
However, Chen Zong didn't kill them all. Instead, he asked the True Martial Sect's Sect Master to give them the previous mansion, and also gave them some money as support. It could be considered as giving face to the Chen Family. As for what would happen in the future, it would depend on their own ability, and it would have nothing to do with Chen Zong.
No one had any objection to Chen Zong's decision. In fact, those people had been complaining on the way here. They had already been tired of it.
Without those people, the reconstruction of the Chen family went very smoothly.
Chen Zhengtang was the first Patriarch. Huan Yun was promoted from a guest to a veteran. Chen Zong was also a veteran. As for Chen Chuyun, he was the Great Elder.
Chen Wuxiong's cultivation was very low. He was only in the Qi and Blood realm. Therefore, he was also given a corresponding position to contribute to the development of the Chen family.
The reconstruction of the Chen family was carried out with great fanfare. Some forces in the Royal Martial Main City were invited to participate and witness.
The Sect Master of the True Martial Sect, Shangguan Zhenlong, arrived with a few elders. This made the reconstruction of the Chen family even more enthusiastic.
As for the other matters, Chen Zong did not care. He completely handed it over to his father, Chen Zhengtang, and the others to handle. Chen Zhengtang was also the one who came in contact with the other forces.
They all knew about Chen Zong's news. They also saw the Sect Master of the True Martial Sect, Shangguan Zhenlong, come personally with congratulatory gifts. Of course, they did not dare to put on airs. They were very polite. No matter whether they were happy or not, they had to at least show it on the surface.
The Chen family mansion was very new. This was one of the congratulatory gifts from the True Martial Sect. It was very big. There were artificial mountains, flowing water, pavilions, and small lakes. Compared to the Chen family, which only had ten or twenty people, it was very big.
The Proving Sword Garden was Chen Zong's residence. It was also one of the more special places in the Chen family mansion. The other special place was Huan Yun's Illusory Sword Garden.
There were three people in the Proving Sword Garden.
Chen Zong, Huan Yun, and Chen Chu Yun.
Daoist Master Huan Yun and Chen Chu Yun had serious expressions on their faces. They were like students listening to a teacher, and the teacher was naturally Chen Zong.
In terms of cultivation, Chen Zong was not as good as Huan Yun. However, in terms of strength, Chen Zong was far better than Huan Yun. Even though Huan Yun had changed to a Heaven Level Upper Rank technique, he still could not compare with Chen Zong.
In terms of sword skills and so on, Huan Yun and Chen Chu Yun were far from Chen Zong's level.
In the past, Chen Chu Yun was Chen Zong's sword skills teacher. He guided Chen Zong to better practice sword skills and laid a solid foundation for sword skills. Then, under Huan Yun's guidance, Chen Zong's foundation became even more solid. He even extended his foundation and became more profound.
