"I'm also very confused about this. I don't know where they got so many elixirs from. But Chen Hongyuan has entered the Death Realm. It's not impossible that he got an elixir in the Death Realm. As for Chen Hongxing, he probably got it from somewhere else. I got it from somewhere." Situ Xiong also said puzzledly.
Even he, the head of the Situ family, does not have such luxury, although this duel may be very important to the two brothers Chen Hongyuan.
But it's definitely not important enough to use the elixir casually.
The elixir cannot be used casually, but if the elixir is to be used, it must be used.
But the Chen family only had such a duel, and the two elixirs were gone. Speaking of which, this duel was really a waste.
"It's because of this news that dad thinks it's Cheng Yu who controls the Chen family?" Situ Yongkang said.
"Yes, it's not impossible. Before, I just thought that Cheng Yu just had some talent, and the Chen family only wanted to win over him because of his talent, so they married Chen Xinran to his senior brother.
But now it seems that his status in the Chen family is not low, but rather higher than he imagined.
Think about it, Chen Tianxing was still the head of the Chen family at that time, but he knelt down to Cheng Yu. If the Chen family was interested in Cheng Yu's talent, then this would be a little unreasonable.
And according to Jiang Wuya, when Chen Tianxing asked Cheng Yu for help, Cheng Yu also took action to teach the fifth master of the Chen family a lesson.
If this is true, judging from these various signs, this Cheng Yu does pose a great threat to the Chen family. "Situ Xiong said.
"But even so, it seems a bit impossible to say that he controls the Chen family. No matter how strong this Cheng Yu is, doesn't the Chen family still have so many ancestors?
Those ancestors are all in the stage of transcending tribulation, are they still afraid of Cheng Yu? Dad, I think you think too much. The Chen family is so big, even if it is in decline now, as the saying goes, a skinny hunchback is bigger than a horse.
No matter how the Chen family declines, it is definitely not something that can be controlled by one person! Situ Yongkang also frowned and thought for a while, but still felt that there was little chance of the Chen family being controlled.
"If Cheng Yu is just one person, it is naturally impossible to control the Chen family, but what if he is not alone?" Situ Xiong said.
"Not alone? Didn't you say that Cheng Yu is a disciple of Wuji Palace? Even if Wuji Palace instigated all this, Wuji Palace doesn't have this ability. It is much weaker than the Chen family!"
"Yes, Wuji Palace is indeed nothing to be afraid of, but what I am worried about is the Dynasty!"
"Dynasty? You mean the dynasty that controls most of the world of cultivation?" Situ Yongkang was shocked and said.
"Yes, I have thought about it for a long time. There are only so many forces in the world of cultivation that can control the Chen family. In addition to the dynasty, there are also some very powerful hidden sects and families. But these forces are even more hidden than our nine great families. They were born much earlier, so they should not easily interfere in the affairs of our nine great families.
But this is not necessarily the case for the dynasty. Although not many people know about him, this force has never said that it is hidden from the world. It can even be said that their dynasty is omnipresent.
If they are now plotting against the nine great families, do you think our Situ family will be spared? "Situ Xiong said worriedly.
"But why did the dynasty suddenly take action against our nine aristocratic families? We have nothing to do with them?" Situ Yongkang asked doubtfully.
He didn't know much about the Dynasty, and he had never met anyone from the Dynasty, but he also knew how powerful the Dynasty was.
It's just that the nine aristocratic families and the dynasty have always been at peace with each other. Why would they suddenly take action against the nine aristocratic families? This is also very confusing!
"Maybe the dynasty's ambitions have become greater, maybe they are no longer satisfied with the current situation, or maybe they want to hold the entire world of cultivation in their hands?" Situ Xiong shook his head and said.
This is also a question he has been thinking about. After all, there are only so many forces in this world that can threaten the nine great families.
Apart from the dynasty that still held great power, he really couldn't figure out which other force had the strength and leisure to do such a thing.
"Dad, having said that, all this is just your guess. It can't be counted. Maybe you are unfounded!" Situ Yongkang said.
Knowing so much big news, he also felt that this matter was indeed not simple. But he was not as pessimistic as Situ Xiong. After all, they had not had any friction or conflict with the dynasty, and the dynasty had no reason to suddenly take action against the nine aristocratic families.
"I hope this will not be what I thought. It really has nothing to do with our Situ family!" Situ Xiong said.
He would not care about the life or death of a Chen family. He was just worried that if the Chen family was controlled, it would be the Situ family next.
Even if the Situ family is not the next one, after that dynasty takes control of other families, it will always make plans for the Situ family.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Master, the Ji family sect is here to say they want to see you!" At this moment, a guard knocked on the door outside.
"What does the Ji family want from me?" Situ Xiong asked.
"He didn't say anything, he just said that he must tell you in person!" the guard's voice came in.
"Let him in!" Situ Xiong thought for a while and said.
"yes!"
"Dad, do you think this is why the Ji family came to see you at this time?" Situ Yongkang asked doubtfully.
It is indeed a bit puzzling that the Ji family sent someone here so late.
"It's possible, let's listen to what they say first!" Situ Xiong nodded.
"Master, we're here!" Soon, the guard's voice came from outside again.
"Come in!"
Creak! The door opened, and a man wearing Ji family clothes came in.
"Why did the Ji family send you here?" Situ Xiong looked at the other party and asked.
"I have met the head of the Situ family. I am here to invite the head of the Situ family to Lingyun Xiaozhu on the order of the head of the family. Our head of the family has something important to discuss with us!" said the Ji family.
"It's so late. Is there anything we can't talk about tomorrow? And, am I the only one?" Situ Xiong asked doubtfully. Lingyun Xiaozhu was the residence arranged by the Chen family for the Ji family.
"Our head of the family said that the matter is urgent, so he asked the head of the Situ family to go there. In addition, except for the head of the Chen family, all the heads of the other six aristocratic families have already arrived!"
"Oh? So I'm the only one missing?" Situ Xiong asked doubtfully.
The seven major families have all gathered together. It seems that nine out of ten are really doing it for this matter. Obviously, they also realize that this matter is not simple, otherwise it will be absolutely impossible to bring everyone together.
"Yes!" Ji's family nodded.
"Dad, be careful of fraud!" Situ Yongkang was a little worried and whispered in Situ Xiong's ear.
"Yes, I understand!" Situ Xiong nodded, but he really had to go there for this matter today, so he said to the Ji family: "Lead the way!"
"Dad!" Situ Yongkang was shocked. He thought he had reminded him that he would not go, but he did not expect that he would agree so readily!
