Chapter 561: Inheriting the throne (2)

Otherwise, with just Chen Daoxuan alone, even if the Zhou family surrendered verbally, it would be inevitable that they would do something that was contrary to their intentions.
Only the Chen family’s overall strength was powerful enough to suppress the other family forces and itinerant cultivators in Cangzhou, so they did not dare to neglect the Chen family’s orders.
Two hours later.
Rays of light flew into the hall.
Stepping into the hall, when everyone saw the figure beside the Patriarch’s throne, they almost could not believe their eyes.
The clan had urgently recalled the high-level cultivators of the clan. Everyone guessed that the young clan leader must have returned to the clan, so they were not surprised to see Chen Daoxuan sitting on the clan leader’s throne.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the person sitting on the first seat to the left of Chen Daoxuan was not the acting clan leader of the Chen Clan, Chen Daolan, but the old clan leader of the Chen Clan, Chen Xianhe!
Furthermore, compared to Chen He’s old age, they were surprised to find that the old clan leader had successfully built his foundation!
“What’s going on?”
“Wasn’t the old chief kidnapped by the Jiang Family? Why are you here?
“Could it be that the Young Clan Leader has rescued the Old Clan Leader from the Jiang Clan?”
A Zifu Disciple guessed.
Hearing this, someone immediately stood up to refute,” Even so, why would the old patriarch suddenly build his foundation?”
“This…”
The Zifu Disciple was speechless.
Indeed, to the Chen Clan cultivators, the scene in front of them was like a dream.
The old patriarch, who had always been on everyone’s mind, had actually returned!
Not only that, the old patriarch, who was supposed to be nearing the end of his lifespan, now looked like a middle-aged cultivator. It was obvious that the old patriarch had successfully established his foundation.
While the Chen Clan cultivators were extremely puzzled, there were also many
things that puzzled them.
“Silence!”
Seeing the higher-ups of the Chen Clan discussing among themselves, Chen Daolan, who was sitting to the right of Chen Daoxuan, reprimanded.
Chen Daoxuan wasn’t in the clan, so Chen Daolan was the representative of the clan. He had a lot of prestige in the clan.
Everyone quieted down when they heard this.
They knew that the Young Clan Leader would definitely give them a reasonable explanation.
On the patriarch’s throne, Chen Daoxuan looked at the higher-ups of the clan below and said with a cold expression,” “It’s only been a year since we last met, why are you all hanging your heads?”
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and their faces were all red. They bowed and said,”Young Patriarch, we are useless.”
“Alright, Dao Lian has told me the whole story. This matter is not your fault.
Hearing Chen Daoxuan’s words, not only did everyone not feel relaxed, but they felt even more guilty in their hearts.
The clan leader of the number one clan in the Azure Continent was actually kidnapped in the clan.
This kind of humiliation was something that no Chen family cultivator could endure.
Chen Daoxuan continued,” However, you should take this as a warning. You must cultivate diligently in the future. I don’t want the same thing to happen to the Chen family in the future.””
“Yes, sir!”
Everyone cupped their hands.
After saying this, Chen Daoxuan’s expression relaxed and he smiled,””As you can see, the old patriarch has already reached the Foundation Establishment realm. Moreover, the Jiang family’s patriarch, Jiang Taiyuan, has also been executed by me!”
“What?”
” The ancestor of the Jiang Family is dead?!”

Chen Daoxuan’s words caused the entire hall to explode.
Although nobody knew the strength of Patriarch Jiang, the three Nascent Souls of the Jiang Family were well-known in the Infinite Star Sea.
Such a top-notch clan’s strength, the other party’s clan leader was actually killed by Chen Daoxuan in the clan’s estate.
From this, it could be seen just how tyrannical the Young Clan Leader’s strength was.
Even though there were rumors that Chen Daoxuan had killed a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator of the Xuan Qing Dao Alliance when he recovered the Southern Mountain’s City.
However, firstly, no one had seen how Chen Daoxuan fought with the Nascent Souls of the Xuanqing Dao Alliance. Secondly, such rumors had always been exaggerated.
The Chen Clan cultivators only thought that their young clan leader was astonishingly powerful and could be compared to a Nascent Soul.
However, they never expected Chen Daoxuan to be able to kill the Jiang Family Patriarch in the Jiang Family’s territory!
Even the most powerful Nascent Souls might not be able to do such a thing, right?
Everyone guessed.
One could imagine what kind of waves would be set off in the Infinite Star Sea after the death of Jiang Taiyuan, the head of the Jiang Family, at the hands of
Chen Daoxuan.
This matter was mixed.
The benefit was naturally that the Cangzhou Chen family had established their dominance in front of all the forces in the Infinite Star Sea.
From now on, as long as Chen Daoxuan lived, no one would dare to bully the Chen family.
The disadvantages are obvious.
Chen Daoxuan’s action of killing Jiang Taiyuan had helped the Chen family to vent their anger and boost their reputation. However, at the same time, Chen Daoxuan’s action had broken the rules of the Qianyuan Sword Sect.
If someone were to attack Chen Daoxuan in the following merit discussion ceremony, it would probably bring him a lot of trouble.
After all, the Infinite Star Sea was not a chaotic place. It was under the rule of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.
Unless the Chen Family and Chen Daoxuan had the strength to overthrow the rule of the Qianyuan Sword Sect, it would be unwise to confront the Qianyuan
Sword Sect.
This was also the reason why Chen Daolan and the others did not have much excitement on their faces.
Chen Daolin had been in charge of the Chen family for so long, so he had instinctively considered things from the perspective of the family.
Although Chen Daoxuan’s actions had vented his anger, it had indeed caused a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Chen Daolan couldn’t help but turn her head and look at Chen Daoxuan. Chen Daoxuan sensed Chen Daolan’s gaze and smiled at her.
Seeing the smile on Chen Daoxuan’s face, for some reason, Chen Daolan suddenly felt that it was not a big deal.
