Chapter 1526 Shen Clan Elder
But Shen Qingzhi had always coveted the position of Shen family head. He obtained this news by flipping through the family genealogy.
Although it was a legend, Shen Qingzhi believed it to be true, because the Shen family of the Nine Gates of the capital, which could stand for hundreds of years, definitely possessed secrets unknown to ordinary people.
Clan elder?
Chen Xuan frowned first, and then sensed a powerful force erupting from the back mountain of the Shen family in the capital. That terrifying force made even Chen Xuan's heart palpitate. He could determine that this person's strength far surpassed the Mythical realm!!
How could this be?
Did the Shen family of the capital still have such a foundation?
"Stop shouting, no one can save you. As long as you die, the clan elder will not save you!"
Shen Qingzhi saw his subordinates holding knives approaching Shen Zhongxun and raising their long sabers.
The blade flashed with a chilling cold light, and once it fell, everything would come to an end.
However—
At the critical moment, in the back mountain, the mountain gate suddenly opened, and a long sword shot into the sky, transforming into a white rainbow, charging forward.
Boom!
The sword instantly pierced the chests of several thugs, then plunged into the ground with a loud bang, stirring up an energy wave that swept in all directions, sending almost everyone flying.
Only Chen Xuan staggered back two steps and stood there steadily.
Looking at the long sword stuck in the ground, faces were filled with surprise.
Flying sword from beyond the sky!
Was this a god?
Martial artists were already miraculous enough, and now there were gods who could control flying swords?
Seeing this flying sword, Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Was this also a cultivator?
"Fighting and killing for mere family head positions, can't you have some ambition?"
An impatient voice sounded, and the next moment, an old man with a white beard walked into the hall, looking around at everyone and shaking his head slightly.
When he saw Chen Xuan, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered.
This old man with a white beard was none other than the person Chen Xuan had encountered in the wilderness forest after killing the Ge family in the capital, but Chen Xuan had not noticed it at the time.
What surprised the old man with the white beard was that Chen Xuan's strength had improved so quickly, which was truly beyond his expectation.
"Clan elder, this person, for the position of family head, colluded with outsiders to assassinate my son, trying to snatch the position of family head. I beg the clan elder to make a decision!"
Shen Zhongxun crawled to the old man with the white beard on his knees, pointed at Shen Shichang, and shouted.
"Is that true?"
The old man with the white beard looked at Shen Qingzhi, his expression indifferent.
But that powerful aura made Shen Qingzhi sweat profusely. He gritted his teeth and said, "My ability is stronger than his son's. Why shouldn't I be the family head? This is unfair!"
"How dare you speak like that when you have committed a heinous crime."
The old man with the white beard's eyes turned cold.
"No matter what clan elder you are, you must die today!"
Shen Qingzhi shouted, and although the others knew they were no match for him, if they didn't resist, they would surely die today. They also quickly unleashed their powerful auras and charged forward.
The old man with the white beard waved his hand, and a sharp gust of wind danced all over the sky, instantly falling on those people.
"Puff puff puff puff—"
A mist of blood spread, and figures died instantly.
"Don't kill them all!"
Chen Xuan was still counting on these people to follow the clues to find the whereabouts of the Ge family head in the capital, so he quickly stopped them.
He grabbed one of the men and yanked him back fiercely. The sharp gust of wind brushed past his neck, and he felt as if he had just returned from the gates of hell.
"Chih!"
Another sharp gust of wind attacked.
Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he saw the sharp gust of wind and the old man with the white beard.
This old man was doing it on purpose, trying to test him!
Originally, Chen Xuan did not want to expose his strength, because he felt that this old man was quite dangerous, but now he had no other choice. If he did not block it, this person would surely die.
Without hesitation, Chen Xuan decisively made a move, clapping his palm in the air.
The whistling gust of wind instantly dissipated.
The old man with the white beard nodded slightly at Chen Xuan.
As expected, he is a cultivator!!
"Clan elder, this is Mr. Chen Xuan, my life savior," Shen Zhongxun said hurriedly, seemingly having discovered something unusual.
"I know."
The old man with the white beard said faintly.
"The matter has been resolved. The rest is up to you. Don't bother me if there's nothing important!"
The old man with the white beard waved his hand and got up to leave.
"Farewell, clan elder!"
Shen Zhongxun and the others all knelt on the ground to see off the old man with the white beard.
However, the old man with the white beard suddenly stopped in front of Chen Xuan: "Young man, are you interested in chatting with me at my place?"
Shen Zhongxun was greatly surprised.
He knew how arrogant this clan elder was. It was extremely difficult for him to meet him on a normal day, and now this clan elder was inviting Chen Xuan to the clan elder's residence, which was truly unbelievable.
"Not interested!"
Chen Xuan didn't think the old man with the white beard would harm him, but he was very displeased with the old man's probing and immediately refused.
"Don't refuse so hastily. I'm busy today, but we can do it another time. You can find Xiao Xun later and ask him to bring you to me."
After speaking, the old man with the white beard walked out with his hands behind his back and instantly disappeared like an afterimage.
"Showing off, posturing..."
Chen Xuan shook his head and sneered.
This old man with a white beard could clearly walk properly, but he put on some fancy moves, clearly doing it on purpose.
"Mr. Chen knows our clan elder?" Shen Zhongxun asked with a smile.
"No."
Chen Xuan shook his head and asked, "Old Master Shen, do you know the origin of your clan elder?"
"This is a clan secret, and it's not convenient to talk about it. Since Mr. Chen asked, I will tell you the truth."
Shen Zhongxun slowly opened his mouth.
It turned out that the old man with the white beard had a connection with a certain Shen family head a hundred years ago. He was saved by that Shen family head and was willing to stay in the Shen family as a clan elder to protect the Shen family until now.
"A hundred years? How old is this old man with a white beard?"
Chen Xuan was surprised.
The vitality of cultivators was very strong, but this was too strong!
"I heard he's over two hundred years old."
"Amazing," Chen Xuan praised.
"When do you think Mr. Chen will have time to meet with our clan elder?"
Since even the clan elder had spoken, Shen Zhongxun naturally had to remember it.
"I'll say when I have time!" Chen Xuan replied perfunctorily.
Soon, Shen Zhongxun had people apprehend Shen Qingzhi and his cronies and imprison them in the dungeon to await family punishment.
"Brother, you are from the Ge family head. Do you know where the Ge family head is?"
Chen Xuan stared at the rescued killer and sneered.
"He's in Yongquan Mountain..."
"Then please take me there. I have something I want to discuss with the Ge family head," Chen Xuan said with a slight smile.
The killer hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll take you there."
It wasn't because Chen Xuan had saved his life that he wanted to repay him, but because he had witnessed Chen Xuan's strength and was truly intimidated. Moreover, his life was now in Chen Xuan's hands.
Chen Xuan took the killer and left the Shen family, heading for Yongquan Mountain.
