Upon noticing the situation, all the major Lineage turned their attention to the area.
The Chen Lineage has arrived?
No, what kind of demonic beast is that! I've never seen one before. Why isn't it Qilin?
Just by looking at it, you can tell it's rebellious and uncontrollable...
"It's the power of devouring!"
"This imperial beast possesses the attribute of devouring, and it is extremely powerful!"
Upon noticing something amiss, their expressions instantly turned serious. How could they possibly use their clan's guardian beast to intimidate the Chen Lineage? They had no idea where the Chen Lineage had subdued it.
Suddenly, the various Great Emperor beasts beneath their feet began to tremble. These imperial beasts possessed sentience and could speak, and their fear was written all over their faces.
It was as if I had seen something terrifying.
"Hold on!" the heads of the various families shouted angrily, cursing their own incompetence.
They were utterly shocked. The Chen Lineage beast bloodline and cultivation level were so powerful that they could suppress so many of their imperial beasts!
Could it be the Emperor Realm Ninth Layer?
How could that be!
However, this was not the end. All the Great Emperor beasts chose to submit, and one by one, these enormous creatures descended from the sky, crawling on the ground and unable to get up.
"..."
The heads of the various families immediately turned furious, filled with disappointment and frustration. Where did the Chen Lineage get such a powerful imperial beast!
Moreover, it looks as terrifying as Devil Beast, and its attributes don't even increase luck like Qilin's. This is just here to cause trouble.
"Heavens! What kind of monster is that!" The crowd below noticed the commotion and all looked over.
"Could it be Devil Beast? A demonized monster!"
"How terrifying! Even the imperial beasts of all the ancient aristocratic families are being suppressed..."
Everyone looked terrified; the rumored Chen Lineage, along with their guardian beast, were indeed this formidable!
A terrifying atmosphere pervaded the air. The world was about to change... because they too knew that the power structure on the continent was constantly shifting.
The Taotie quickly approached, treading on the void. It was a divine beast, but suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, possessing only the power of the Peak of the Emperor Realm. However, in this world, it was still an invincible monster.
Logically speaking, the Qilin would be more suitable as a guardian beast. However, the Qilin's upgrade speed is not very fast, so the Taotie is the only option.
In terms of fortune, the Taotie is certainly not as good as the Qilin, but since it can devour the fortune of others, does that mean its own fortune is powerful...?
Chen Fan stood atop the Taotie, hands behind his back, surveying the crowd.
"Esteemed patriarchs of noble families, I am late..." came the polite greeting.
The heads of the various families certainly weren't qualified to speak to him. What was his status? And what were theirs?
Behind Chen Fan were members of the Chen Lineage and their disciples. Chen Quanjing was also present, along with other powerful figures.
Upon hearing this, the heads of the various ancient families were completely stunned. This...
Caught off guard! They were completely ignored! The official spoke directly to the patriarch. Then, his expression darkened, seemingly unconcerned, as he merely scanned the Chen Lineage members.
Sure enough, Great Emperor Dilo was there too. She actually married into the Chen Lineage! She was an emperor!
Wang Lineage Jiayi stepped forward, " Chen Lineage patriarch, you're too kind. However, could it be that the Chen Lineage hasn't even appointed a patriarch yet? Do we really need your personal intervention...?"
He knew, of course, that the Chen Lineage had risen rapidly, but how could a family head compare to the great ancient families!
However, glancing at the group behind Chen Fan, he frowned slightly. Why did he feel that someone was particularly familiar to him?
At the same time, the other Lineage patriarchs were also staring at Chen Quanjing, because this person looked so familiar!
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere immediately became tense, and the crowd below began to get excited.
Chen Fan smiled. "Patriarch Wang Lineage, you are mistaken. What does this matter have to do with you..."
As he spoke, a single, piercing glance swept over him.
The Wang Lineage patriarch felt as if he had entered an ice cellar. He was horrified that the Chen Lineage patriarch's cultivation had actually reached such a level!
Even a powerful expert at the Emperor Realm Eighth Stage couldn't withstand it. Only he truly understood the terror of the Chen Lineage patriarch.
"You!" Wang Teng, realizing the situation, could no longer contain himself. "Patriarch Chen Lineage, are you saying that others are not allowed to discuss this?!"
boom.
Chen Fan unleashed his oppressive aura, causing Wang Teng to tremble in fear.
"Ancestor of the Wang Lineage, keep your Wang Lineage members in line and don't speak to me like that, otherwise I'm not sure if I'll take over your management!"
What right does a mere family head have to speak to him? And here, the strongest person on the surface is only the first ancestor of the Wang Lineage.
Wang Teng felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit; this was outrageous! The other Lineage heads also looked disgusted.
... They really couldn't say a word.
"Patriarch, you mustn't!" The first patriarch of the Wang Lineage quickly reminded Wang Teng secretly.
He then said...
"In that case, please take a seat, Patriarch Chen Lineage..." Unable to win an argument, Patriarch Chen Lineage truly embodied the principle of "might makes right" to the fullest!
But he could only accept his defeat for now. There was no need to make the competition public for the time being; it was best to remain silent.
"There's no need for seating," Chen Fan said, standing with his hands behind his back. "I don't have time to waste here. Let's get straight to the point. All the ancient families, please feel free to make your move..."
He came here to complete the mission of the first great ancient family. The Lineage Grand Gathering could bring them together, saving him the trouble of searching for them.
Moreover, their intentions were already clear, so why bother with pretense? He certainly had no interest in the competition among Lineage Grand Gathering. He also wanted to avoid any potential trouble, as he was unwilling to bear even the slightest loss.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.
Arrogant! Presumptuous! Unbelievable!
Even the patriarch of the Wang Lineage fell silent; it was simply unbelievable!!!
"Ancestor of the Chen Lineage, what do you mean by this?"
This is a troublemaker; they're not here to participate in the Lineage Grand Gathering. Moreover, the Chen Lineage seems extremely confident!
"You still ask me what I mean?" Chen Fan's expression turned slightly cold.
"They attempted to kill my disciple!"
"You even want to destroy the Divine Dao Holy Land, an affiliated force of the Chen Lineage... Gentlemen, do I need to say more?"
"Since the major ancient families want to join forces, there's no need for that. I have no time to waste on you!"
In his view, the Lineage Grand Gathering involved competition among their most powerful members, competition among their future prodigies, and competition in various aspects such as alchemy. He himself was not afraid, but his descendants might be targeted.
He wouldn't allow it! He's not used to being tricked.
They're here to settle scores! The onlookers held their breath, it was too exciting. A direct confrontation!
Moreover, these are not major secrets; most people know a little about them. But for the Chen Lineage patriarch to make it so explicit, especially under these circumstances, is tantamount to taking the opportunity to directly confront the major ancient families!
What great courage!
In an instant, everyone from the various Lineage became serious; this was too arrogant!
They only wanted to make the Chen Lineage pay a price and jointly suppress them. But they didn't expect to destroy the Chen Lineage like this, because the price would be too high, resulting in mutual destruction, which neither side was willing to bear.
The Chen Lineage probably thinks the same way.
However, that's not what he thought! He brought it out into the open, taking the initiative.
To openly confront them is tantamount to declaring war on their top powers!
