Yan Wushuang's scalp tingled.
She couldn't accept that Chen Nan was the ancestor of the Eight Outer Sects.
This news was too shocking for her.
It was difficult to accept.
But then she thought about it.
There were many things about Chen Nan that she couldn't understand.
For example, why dared he say Li Pingan was nothing when they first met?
For example, why was his strength so formidable?
And then, why did the richest man in Jizhou serve him so diligently?
And then, when Li Pingan saw her holding Chen Nan at the Zelinschan Villa last time, why did he collapse repeatedly onto the ground?
He had known Chen Nan's identity for a long time.
"How can he be the ancestor of the Eight Outer Sects?" Cao Dayuan snorted coldly. "If he were the ancestor of the Eight Outer Sects, I reckon the Eight Outer Sects would also decline!"
He had been severely beaten by Chen Nan at Zelinschan Villa.
He harbored resentment towards Chen Nan.
Aunt Lan frowned and looked at Yan Wushuang. "Wushuang, do you know this person?"
Yan Wushuang's face was full of nervousness, her eyes darting away.
"Could it be that this person is the one who defiled you?" Aunt Lan was furious.
Yan Wushuang had been raised by her.
She understood her disciple very well.
From her expression, she could tell that there was an improper relationship between them.
Chen Nan's lips curled upwards. "What if it was me?"
"Since you admit it, then I will castrate you and let you know the consequences of ruining my plans!"
Following a roar,
Aunt Lan appeared in front of Chen Nan like a ghost and unleashed a groin kick.
"Stop!"
Li Pingan was furious and blocked Aunt Lan's attack. "Aunt Lan, he is the thirty-second generation sect leader of the Wu Sect. Are you trying to disrespect your ancestors by acting violently against him in public?"
Boom!
As soon as this was said,
Everyone's scalp tingled.
No one could have imagined that
The sect leader of the Wu Sect was a young man in his twenties.
"You... you are the ancestor?" Cold sweat dripped from Aunt Lan's forehead.
Chen Nan showed the jade thumb ring on his thumb, a hint of disdain on his face. "This thing, it seems it can't be faked, right?"
Seeing the token of the sect leader of the Wu Sect,
Everyone believed Chen Nan's words.
Because they all had a jade thumb ring in their hands.
They could feel the connection between the eight jade thumb rings.
This was something that couldn't be faked.
Xu Xiangan immediately knelt on the ground and chanted devoutly, "Red Handkerchief eighty-seventh generation disciple Xu Xiangan greets the ancestor. May the ancestor be blessed with great fortune and live for ten thousand years!"
"Thousand Gates eighty-seventh generation disciple Ying Bie greets the ancestor. May the ancestor be blessed with great fortune and live for ten thousand years!"
"Mechanism Gate eighty-seventh generation disciple Lu Fu greets the ancestor. May the ancestor be blessed with great fortune and live for ten thousand years!"
"Life-Taking Gate eighty-seventh generation disciple Guan Nian greets the ancestor. May the ancestor be blessed with great fortune and live for ten thousand years!"
"Gu Sect eighty-seventh generation disciple Yong Mei greets the ancestor. May the ancestor be blessed with great fortune and live for ten thousand years!"
Seeing everyone kneeling,
Aunt Lan also knelt on the ground in panic, "Orchid Gate eighty-seventh generation disciple A Lan greets the ancestor. May the ancestor be blessed with great fortune and live for ten thousand years!"
Chen Nan asked, "Do you still want to castrate me?"
Aunt Lan trembled. "Your junior, not knowing the ancestor's identity, begs for your forgiveness!"
"Is that all?" Chen Nan snorted coldly. "You seem to have forgotten what happened yesterday!"
Aunt Lan swallowed hard. "Please, ancestor, enlighten me!"
"Yesterday at the Qin family auction, you ruined my good deeds twice. Have you forgotten about this?" Chen Nan said, walking to the dumbfounded Yan Wushuang, taking her hand, and sitting her down on a chair.
Aunt Lan suddenly looked up.
Her eyes were filled with horror!
She had felt Chen Nan was somewhat familiar before.
Now she realized she had seen him yesterday.
Not only that, but she had also intended to bid for the Millennium Dragon Saliva Incense and the Hundred Year Epiphyllum.
Because of her involvement, he had to spend an extra five hundred million.
"Ancestor, please quell your anger, ancestor, please quell your anger. Your junior... didn't intend to ruin your good deeds! I intended to bid for those two medicinal materials to show my filial piety to you..." Aunt Lan's voice had a hint of tears.
Chen Nan's mouth twitched madly.
If I had known this, why would I have spent ten billion and twenty million to buy those two medicinal materials?
Li Pingan saw Cao Zhen sitting aside, smoking a cigarette, and unmoved. He roared, "Cao Zhen, you must have the guts of a bear. The ancestor is here, and you remain indifferent? Do you still have him in your eyes?"
Cao Zhen sneered, "Li Pingan, Li Pingan, you've really mastered the art of relying on others, no one in the Eight Outer Sects can compare to you in this regard."
"Cao Zhen, how dare you be disrespectful to the ancestor!" Mei Gu said in a low voice.
Cao Zhen stood up listlessly, then bowed to Chen Nan. "Thief Sect eighty-eighth generation disciple Cao Zhen greets the ancestor. May the ancestor be blessed with great fortune and live for ten thousand years!"
"Cao Zhen, do you truly wish to die?" Guan Nian roared.
Lu Fu gritted his teeth. "Cao Zhen, the Eight Outer Sects have a hierarchy. Even if the ancestor is young, you cannot be rude to him!"
Everyone was angered by Cao Zhen's arrogant and dismissive attitude.
Cao Zhen straightened his body and smiled. "Ancestor, you are young. I believe you must dislike many old bad habits, right?"
"I feel that some rules should be abolished."
"Otherwise, we will surely be eliminated by this society."
Although he smiled, his eyes were filled with disdain.
He didn't take Chen Nan, the ancestor, to heart at all.
Chen Nan nodded in agreement. "I feel what you said makes sense. Some rules indeed should be abolished!"
"That's right!" Cao Zhen laughed heartily, mistakenly believing that Chen Nan had been intimidated by the aura of the Thief Sect. "Did you guys hear? The ancestor himself said some rules should be abolished. In my opinion, the Eight Outer Sects don't need so many tedious formalities in the future."
The members of the six great families exchanged glances.
They never expected that Chen Nan would not only not get angry but even agree with Cao Zhen's view.
Yan Wushuang also frowned.
What was going on?
Was this still the Chen Nan she knew?
Why could he tolerate Cao Zhen's disrespect?
Could it be that he was truly afraid of the Thief Sect?
Thinking this, an ominous premonition arose in Yan Wushuang's heart.
If Chen Nan was suppressed by Cao Zhen today and could not lift his head, then the entire Eight Outer Sects would be Cao Zhen's domain in the future.
At that time, no one would be able to contend with him!
"Ancestor, I have a proposal. Let's abolish the old system. From now on, the position of sect leader of the Eight Outer Sects will be passed down to their own descendants!"
Cao Zhen proposed in public, wanting to overthrow the old system!
"I know many people will disagree with this proposal, but it will allow the Eight Outer Sects to go further!"
Chen Nan rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment. "What you said is not without reason!"
Cao Zhen was overjoyed. "Then may I ask the ancestor, if someone opposes, how should they be punished?"
Chen Nan asked, "How do you think they should be punished?"
A cold glint flashed in Cao Zhen's eyes. "All proposals are for the future of the Eight Outer Sects. If someone opposes, they will be a sinner for eternity!"
"Such people should be directly killed!"
Chen Nan: "And then?"
Cao Zhen looked at the Thief Sect disciples at the entrance, a cold glint in his eyes. "Bring those few guys who opposed me here. Today, I will cleanse the sect in front of the ancestor!"
