All races revere me as the Heavenly Emperor, solely because of my nine disciples!

"Tuoba Lei, do you really intend to defy the ancestral teachings?"

Another voice came, expressing dissatisfaction.

"What ancestral precepts?"

"I am now the ancestor of the Chen clan, and my will is the ancestral precept!"

"Chen Bei's fate is a matter of life and death for our Great Qian Dynasty, and the survival of the Chen Clan. If I kill him for the sake of our Great Qian Dynasty, am I wrong?"

Tuoba Lei said coldly.

"How dare you, Tuoba Lei! Now that your father and the others are dead, my Chen clan can no longer control you, is that it?"

"Release Chen Bei and give the brothers ten days!"

Then another voice came.

With the passing of the great ancestors, the Chen clan is now weak, and apart from Chen Xu, there are no other peak experts in the Purple Mansion Realm among the Chen clan.

However, this does not mean that there are no powerful individuals with the surname Chen who possess the Purple Mansion realm.

At this moment, the remaining thirty-odd powerful cultivators of the Chen surname Purple Mansion all released their auras to express their dissatisfaction with Tuoba Lei.

"Hahaha……"

"Gentlemen, you are all people who call yourselves ancestors, don't you feel ashamed to be arguing here over a bunch of children?"

"I also think that time is of the essence, and it's better for Chen Bei to die sooner rather than later!"

Just then, a domineering voice rang out.

If Zhou Hai were here, he would realize that the owner of this voice was none other than the Great Qian Ancestor, whom he had previously terrified.

His name is Ouyang Xiu, and he is one of the three remaining peak experts of the Purple Mansion Realm in the Great Qian Dynasty. Like Tuoba Lei, he is also the son-in-law of the Chen Clan.

"That's right, it concerns the safety of the Chen Clan, I think it's better to do some things sooner rather than later!"

"Yes, that's my opinion too!"

As Ouyang Xiu spoke, more voices followed.

The elders of the Chen clan have always been divided into two factions: one is the bloodline of the Chen clan, and the other is the relatives by marriage.

The Chen clan currently has more than thirty peak Purple Mansion Realm experts left, and there are also quite a few relatives and clansmen by marriage.

Besides Ouyang Xiu and Tuoba Lei, two peak experts, there were more than twenty Purple Mansion Realm cultivators.

As they spoke in succession, the situation immediately reached a stalemate.

Chen Bei didn't speak, but simply let the force drag him through the imperial city and to the back mountain.

Although it is called the back mountain, it is actually an endless mountain range, with many peaks that are the secluded cultivation places for the elders of the Chen Clan at the Dao Palace Realm and above.

After passing through mountain peaks, Chen Bei was about to be led into a mountain stream.

But at that moment, a sound exploded in the void, and an old man stepped into the air, instantly cutting off that force and grabbing Chen Bei in his hand!

"Ancestor!"

Chen Bei looked at the newcomer and saw that he was dressed in gray clothes, with no beard on his old face, and even his head was bald.

He recognized this ancestor as the cousin of the Chenxu Ancestor, born to the Chenxu Ancestor's eldest uncle.

He was two hundred years older than Ancestor Chenxu, but his talent was not as good as Ancestor Chenxu's. He was stuck at the eighth level of the Purple Mansion Realm for more than eight hundred years without making any progress!

"Chen Hai, what do you want to do?"

Seeing Chen Bei being kidnapped by Chen Hai, Tuoba Lei was furious.

Do I need to explain to you what I want to do?

"This child, I want him to live for another ten days, is that alright?"

Chen Hai stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant mountain stream, and said coldly.

In the mountain stream, the river flows, and beside a thatched hut, an old man is fishing.

Upon hearing this, a sharp killing intent flashed in the old man's eyes. He flicked his fishing rod, and the sky instantly exploded.

"Rumble..."

Countless water droplets shot into the sky from the river, instantly transforming into a sky full of dark clouds.

Where the fishing line passed, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

The vast void instantly descended into chaos, as if it had been cleaved into another world.

"Ancestor..."

"Ancestor..."

The sky outside the imperial city was also shrouded in dark clouds, and an endless pressure was coming, giving people the feeling that the city was about to be crushed by dark clouds!

Everyone's expression changed drastically. Whether they were citizens of the capital, city guards, or imperial guards, they all couldn't help but scream in terror.

This was a sign that the two founding emperors were about to fight. No one dared to imagine the consequences if they did!

Unfortunately, their fear went completely unnoticed.

Outside the mountain stream behind the mountain, the fishing line flashed like lightning, instantly arriving beside Chen Hai and about to sweep Chen Bei away.

"Om..."

A buzzing sound came, and a large black-blue bell flew out, bursting forth with brilliant light, instantly severing the rolling thunder brought by the fishing line.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Crash..."

At the same time, a continuous roaring sound rang out, accompanied by the sound of endless waves.

A breathtaking sight appeared in the sky: a vast expanse of blue sea stretched out wildly from the center of the clock tower.

A hundred-foot tsunami swept across the sky and earth, and the sea that was suspended in the sky seemed to be about to crash down at any moment, destroying the world!

The sea was constantly pushing back Tuoba Lei's thunder domain, and the two sides had reached a state of stalemate!

"Chen Hai, do you really want to fight me?"

Tuoba Lei's icy voice rang out, his eyes flashing like two sharp bolts of lightning, striking Chen Hai directly.

"If you want to fight, I'm ready!"

Chen Hai stood firmly in front of Chen Bei without backing down!

Is it worth it for an outsider?

Tuoba Lei said coldly.

"Hahaha……"

"Tuoba Lei, how about we throw you into the Demon Cave first?"

Chen Hai laughed heartily and said sternly.

"you……"

Tuoba Lei was furious.

"Remember, this child's name is Chen Bei, Chen from the Chen clan!"

"Even though he doesn't have the blood of my Chen clan, he was willing to travel thousands of miles to die for my Chen clan, so he is a descendant of my Chen clan!"

"As the ancestor, I can't even protect him, but can't I even buy him a little more time?"

"Tuoba Lei, come and fight!"

Chen Hai possessed an aura that encompassed the entire world. Even though his cultivation was far inferior to Tuoba Lei's, he still stood tall and unyielding.

Chen Bei hovered behind Chen Hai. After secretly consuming some pills, his body was rapidly recovering, and his cultivation power was greatly replenished.

As he recovered, he looked at the old ancestor in front of him, his heart softened by the sight of him, and a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes.

So this is the Chen Clan.

The Chen family has never given up on him.

Although in their hearts he was still doomed to die, for him it was enough.

As a member of the Chen clan, he has a responsibility to sacrifice for the Chen clan.

It's not that the elderly are heartless; they really have done their best!

"Chen Hai, you're asking for death!"

"I will grant your wish!"

With a roar, a figure transformed into lightning in the mountain stream, heading straight for Chen Hai.

Wherever it passed, its domain crushed everything. Chen Hai's ocean domain was constantly cracking and forced to retreat.

"That depends on your own capabilities!"

Chen Hai snorted coldly, the Purple Mansion Dao Soldier Zhenhai Bell above his head, and the tidal power surging around him, carrying boundless power as he crashed into the thunderous figure.

"Boom boom boom..."

In an instant, deafening explosions could be heard continuously.

Centered on the two individuals, the shockwave caused countless mountains to collapse and turn to dust.

The thunderous figure wielded the Thunder Execution Whip, its movements as it swung it resembled a long dragon transformed by lightning, each attack carrying earth-shattering power.

Chen Hai was not to be outdone. With the Zhenhai Bell above his head, the tidal power around him surged like a monstrous wave, making him both offensive and defensive.

While deflecting the opponent's attacks, he unleashed his overwhelming power, engaging in a fierce battle with the lightning figure that Tuoba Lei had transformed into.

The void around the two continued to explode, creating huge spatial black holes, far surpassing the tiny spatial rifts that occurred during battles between cultivators at the Unity Realm.

The spatial turbulence surging from these black holes would instantly swallow even a Dao Palace Realm expert, tearing them into rifts.

The two remained as steady as Mount Tai, forcefully withstanding the pulling forces erupting from the black holes.

During their fight, the natural order of the universe was far too busy to repair the space damaged by the battle.

"Chen Hai, how dare you stop me from doing my thing? You have no sense of right and wrong!"

Suddenly, a loud roar rang out.

Behind Tuoba Lei, lightning transformed into a sea, also sweeping out a hundred-foot wave that crashed towards Chen Hai with earth-shattering force!
