"Ah … No, don't kill me. I'm the ancestor of the Chen family. I've lived for thousands of years and made countless contributions to the family … Chen Long, I beg you, don't let him kill me …" Chen Guiquan looked at Chen Jiu with an unwavering gaze and couldn't help but beg Chen Long.
"Die." At this moment, Chen Jiu didn't want to listen to any more explanations or pleas for mercy. It wasn't that he didn't give him a chance, but that he didn't cherish it.
With a bang, the Nine Solitary Sword Intent slashed down and completely shattered Chen Guiquan's body, blasting him into a bloody mist. An ancestor of a generation disappeared under the sword just like that.
"You … you actually dared to kill the great ancestor. You're treacherous, everyone can …" Chen Gongquan was so scared that his face turned ashen. When Chen Jiu glared at him, he was immediately speechless.
"Spare us … Chen Jiu, we were wrong." Suddenly, all the elders knelt in front of Chen Jiu and begged for mercy.
"Hmph, do you think I'll show you mercy just because of this?" Chen Jiu sneered and walked towards one of the elders with obvious killing intent.
"Jiu 'er, wait. Listen to my advice, okay?" Chen Long couldn't help but pull him back and say, "For what happened today, it wouldn't be too much to kill all of them, but you can't be blinded by hatred. You have to see the truth."
"That's right. Today's matter was caused by the great ancestor and Chen Gongquan's collusion. These people are at most accomplices. I think it's better to spare their lives on account of their contributions to the family for so many years." Chen Zhengzhi also begged for mercy.
"That's right, that's right. Please spare our lives. We'll definitely repent and never help the tyrant again." The group of elders all cried out. After all, Chen Guiquan was in charge. They had no choice but to listen to him.
"You …" Glaring at the elders, Chen Jiu was about to scold them when he suddenly felt dizzy. He couldn't take it anymore and suddenly closed his eyes. His body stiffened and fell backward.
It wasn't easy for Chen Jiu to hold on until now.
"Jiu 'er!" Chen Jiu's eyes were sharp. He quickly supported Chen Jiu with a worried expression.
"Haha … the heavens are really helping me. Chen Jiu can't hold on at this time. Elders, now is the best time to avenge Great Ancestor. Capture the three of them and kill them all. In the future, we will be the true masters of the Chen family." Chen Gongquan couldn't wait to jump out.
"This …" Many members of the Council of Elders were hesitant. They never thought that Chen Jiu would fall on his own.
"Hmph, everyone, think carefully. If Jiu 'er really wants to kill you, do you think you can live longer than the Great Ancestor?" Chen Zhengzhi reminded them with a frosty expression.
"Atone for our crimes with meritorious service. If we capture Chen Gongquan, Chen Jiu will definitely spare our lives." The Senior Elders all came to their senses and attacked Chen Gongquan.
"AHH! You traitors! You've actually changed sides! You'll definitely die a horrible death!" Chen Gongquan was unable to fight against so many and was directly captured by the Elders. He flew into a rage.
"Chen Long, how do you think we should punish him?" The Senior Elders couldn't help asking for instructions.
"No matter what, he's still my brother. Directly killing him wouldn't be too heartless. Cripple him and expel him from the family. Let him fend for himself." Chen Long looked heavily at Chen Gongquan and finally ordered sorrowfully.
Brothers were like hands and feet. If Chen Gongquan hadn't been so vicious and intolerable, how could Chen Long have been so heartless?
"No … you can't cripple my cultivation base! Chen Long, I'm not done with you … AHH!" Chen Gongquan's Dantian and meridians had already been crippled by the Elders. His cultivation base had been completely erased, and he had become an ordinary person.
Being demoted from a Senior Warrior to an ordinary person, Chen Gongquan found it hard to accept such a huge psychological difference. He cried and made a fuss non-stop.
"I'll throw him out …" One of the Senior Elders volunteered and carried Chen Gongquan off into the distance.
"What … what about Chen Jiu?" One of the Senior Elders looked at Chen Jiu's conflicted expression. He wanted to stay behind, but he was also afraid that once he woke up, his killing intent would erupt and he would slaughter them all.
"I'll bring Jiu 'er back. Don't worry, as long as you're thinking of the family, I won't let Jiu' er touch you." Chen Long promised and carried Chen Jiu back to the Chen mansion, ignoring his own injuries.
"Ai, I'll also give this cauldron to him." Chen Zhengzhi picked up the Soaring Dragon Cauldron and followed closely behind.
"Phew …" The elders all let out a long sigh of relief. They sighed endlessly with regret.
Within the Chen mansion, Chen Long's face was pale as he carried Chen Jiu back. His return startled the entire mansion.
"Dad, Jiu 'er is …?" Chen Tianhe looked at the miserable state of his grandfather-grandson pair. He was filled with anger and worry.
"Let's go inside first …" The two of them escorted Chen Jiu back to the master bedroom of the Pure Heart Residence. This inevitably startled the three women, and they all turned pale with fright.
"Young master …" Chen Lan's tears streamed down, and she couldn't stop crying.
"Chen Jiu, you can't die. If you die, what will I do …?" Qian Xiangyi's face was also filled with grief.
"Hmph … What's going on?" Mu Lan's face was both shocked and worried. It really made people feel strange.
"Ai, the family's misfortune …" Chen Zhengzhi followed closely behind and told everyone what had happened. Everyone was filled with hatred.
"Damn it, what kind of Old Ancestor is he? How can he harm his own family?" Qian Xiangyi immediately cursed. Naturally, the others were filled with hatred as well.
"Jiu 'er was plotted by the Great Ancestor to absorb all of his blood essence. Then, he fought with his life on the line. His mind and body both suffered a great blow. For him, this is really a disaster." Chen Long sighed and thumped his chest. "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I had known about their scheme earlier, Jiu' er wouldn't have been persecuted by them."
"Father, don't blame yourself. Since things have already happened, I believe that Jiu 'er will be able to pull through." Chen Tianhe held onto Chen Long's arm and pretended to be strong as he consoled him. How could he not be sad that something like this had happened?
"That's right. Right now, it's more important to clean up the family. You have to know that this matter was caused by collusion from top to bottom. In the future, this kind of thing can't happen in the family," Chen Zhengzhi said with a ruthless face.
"That's right. For Jiu 'er, I will clean up the family and avenge him." Chen Tianhe was also filled with anger. He instantly stood up and shouted, "Gather all family members for a meeting. Those who don't stay for two hours will be expelled from the family."
