Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System-Chapter 769 - 362: September in the Sky, Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, Long Time No See, Xi He!_3
"Signing the Blood Covenant with Su Tu was the most correct decision we’ve ever made. The backing he has is unimaginably powerful," Chen Ziming chimed in at this moment.
The last words of that mysterious entity before disappearing had convinced them that behind Su Tu lay a terrifying force.
To be able to crush a Daoist Master single-handedly must mean someone above a Dao Lord, perhaps even Supreme. Such a power holder is someone they could never dream of appeasing under normal circumstances.
"That person created a diversion for the Chen Family to buy time—it was goodwill, but I also think it’s a warning: without a Dao Lord Level existence, the Chen Family’s downfall is inevitable.
Although we were prepared for the extermination of the clan and ready to die, since we survived, we must live well, and now the opportunity is right before us."
Chen Zian stood up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, his eyes gazing at the steel forest outside, watching the bustling traffic.
"I propose we fully align ourselves with the force behind Su Tu. With its endorsement, the Chen Family won’t just avoid loss from the old man’s death; it could even reach greater heights."
"It’s even possible that the ’Calamity’ within our bodies could be eradicated."
Chen Zian turned to look at everyone present, speaking each word clearly, and his brothers said nothing, evidently having no objections to Chen Zian’s words.
However, an elder furrowed his brow. He was the former patriarch before Chen Zian’s rise, also Chen Zian’s uncle. His arm was lost in the previous battle, annihilated by Chen Shan.
"Zi’an, the Blood Covenant you’ve signed already pledged ordinary treasures and resources of the Chen Family to him. Isn’t that allegiance enough?"
The elder spoke.
Chen Zian shook his head and said, "Uncle Cheng, that isn’t enough. It’s far from enough. What I said before was based on the premise that the Chen Family was devastated, the vitality severely damaged, unable to withstand family resources being used, better used as bargaining chips against wolves.
But now it’s different; the Chen Family is almost unscathed, even with an opportunity to advance further. For this reason, the Chen Family must become a blade in his hand, even a dog, for him to use as he pleases!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Cheng’s expression suddenly changed. He stood up angrily, shouting loudly.
"A blade? A dog? Chen Zian, what are you saying? We risked everything to destroy the old man for the family’s freedom and for future generations. Now you want the Chen Family to be someone else’s dog. What’s the point of everything we’ve done?"
Chen Zian remained calm: "Of course there’s meaning. We used to be like crops, all efforts resulting in us being the ’harvested fruit’ for others. But now, everything we do is for ourselves!"
"With Su Tu and the power behind him, the Chen Family will rise further, embodying its own true glory!"
"Moreover, Uncle Cheng, we did make some efforts, but in the end, do they differ from futile attempts? All our schemes were seen through, like playthings at Chen Shan’s fingertips.
If it weren’t for the intervention of the power behind him, you, I, and everyone here would have long been harvested, not even qualified to be a blade!"
Chen Zian spoke each word with calm conviction, making everyone trust him deeply. Those who initially shared Uncle Cheng’s thoughts now changed their minds.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Cheng glanced around. Seeing no one stand by his side, he stood up angrily and turned to leave: "In any case, I disagree!!"
"Since Uncle Cheng has an opinion..." At this moment, Chen Zian’s voice sounded.
His voice suddenly turned icy: "Then Uncle Cheng, please take the lead first..."
As the words fell, Chen Ziming and Chen Ziqi instantly sprang into action, their murderous aura like thunder, simultaneously striking Uncle Cheng’s back with lethal force.
The old man who survived the ’Ancestral Slaughter’ battle didn’t even have a chance to react before collapsing with a thud, blood seeping from his seven orifices, breathless.
Chen Zian stood with his hands behind his back, looking back outside the window, not glancing at the now chaotic conference room.
"Once a gap arises in the heart, disaster is inevitable. The current Chen Family cannot withstand any turmoil. From the moment Chen Shan died, we had only this path to follow."
Chen Zian said calmly.
His blood brothers had already risen; their eyes brimming with murderous intent scanned the surroundings. Chen Cheng was a cautionary tale. On this matter, anyone daring to dissent would face only one outcome, and that is... death!
.....
A whirlpool loomed in the sky, then Cloud Soaring Mountain collapsed instantly, with no thunder or phenomenon in sight.
The whole mountain seemed to collapse naturally.
Su Tu watched the screen before him, a trace of contemplation in his eyes.
This was a satellite image pulled out through connections by Dean Situ. From it, one could see that after the vortex appeared, Cloud Soaring Mountain collapsed.
The entire population of Celestial City Star didn’t hear the thunder, didn’t see the Tribulation Thunder, and even Dean Situ, closest to the site, was the same.
The terrifying Tribulation Thunder seemed only visible to himself and Sister Ah Chang.
"Was it the will spawned by the eyeball that prevents the masses from seeing the Innate Tribulation Thunder?"
Su Tu thought of the eyeball that appeared in the vortex last. He felt it seemed to have its own consciousness, but at that time, Su Tu dismissed the thought.
But now, that thought resurfaced, because he couldn’t think of anyone else capable of hiding even from someone like Dean Situ...
