Gu Chen's explanation seemed reasonable, but in fact it was still perfunctory.
"Afraid of wolves before and fear of tigers later, when is the chance for my Chen family to rise?"
Chen Shanming shook his head, disapproving of Gu Chen's idea. In his opinion, it is impossible for the two holy lands to abandon their vigilance against the Chen clan at any time. Since there is a suitable time, they should fight for it.
"Great Elder, I can understand your feelings, but the Great Prophet has reminded me that his attitude is very tough, and he will not allow the Chen family to make random moves and create unnecessary enemies for him."
Seeing that it was difficult to persuade Gu Chen, he simply brought out the great prophet and let him be the villain.
"Hehe, it seems that the Great Prophet did not dare to offend the Eight-Different Sage and the Willow Sage!"
The fourth elder, Chen Qinghe, sneered when he heard the words, with a trace of disdain and contempt hidden in his eyes.
The other elders didn't dare to speak so boldly like him, but they also thought so in their hearts.
In fact, it is understandable when you think about it. Even though the great prophet of Luomen became a saint, he only made a breakthrough not long ago. How could he be compared with the saints of Baqi and Liu who have been saints for many years?
It is a big taboo to reach into the territory of other saints. In the face of the two saints who do not have enough confidence, the Great Prophet naturally does not want to offend too much.
Anyway, Luomen's basic board is Pei Dynasty, and it is most important to ensure the stability of Pei Dynasty at this time. In all fairness, if they are great prophets, they would not dare to challenge other saints rashly at this time, and arouse their sensitive nerves.
To put it bluntly, the benefits that the Chen clan can bring to Luomen are limited, and the Great Prophet is unwilling to take this risk for them!
It's meaningless to make things difficult for Gu Chen when the words are so clear, all the elders are in a slump.
"Could it be that without Luomen's permission, my Chen family can't make decisions on my own? Although my Chen family was suppressed by all parties in the past, at least my dignity is still there. Now I live under the fence and look at people's faces. What is it?"
Fourth Elder Chen Qinghe still felt unwilling, and said plausibly, Gu Chen couldn't help but glance at him more.
These words can be regarded as expressing the aspirations of many elders. It is really uncomfortable to just give up such a good opportunity like this.
When did he, the Chen family, need to rely on others to survive like this?
A strong sense of aggrieved lingered in the hearts of many elders, and the second elder's eyes flickered for a while, and said: "Why don't we kill first and then play? As long as we grab the territory, the two holy places will definitely acquiesce that this is the meaning of the Great Prophet, and the Great Prophet will be unable to argue , the most is to criticize us a bit, so we won't turn against us, right?"
These words moved many elders. Although this move was bold and might anger the Great Prophet, it was indeed feasible.
The Chen family has already formed an alliance with Luomen, Luomen will not tear up the alliance just because of this matter, right?
If the covenant is really torn up, Luomen will only have one more enemy.
"The Great Prophet, since he is afraid of offending the two great holy places, would he dare to turn his back on our Chen clan? Although our Chen clan doesn't have any saints in command now, but Dingkong Mountain is here, and any saint who wants to call him has to weigh it."
"What's more, the ancestor just disappeared, and even the Mu Dynasty didn't dare to exterminate our Chen clan because of this. If the Great Prophet turns his back on him, he will just make himself difficult to get off."
"In this way, if we kill first and play later, he will probably have to suffer from being dumb, so as not to destroy the covenant between the two parties!"
The third elder seriously analyzed that now more elders were moved, and even the first elder seriously considered the feasibility of the matter.
Seeing this, Gu Chen felt bad. He had to admit that the analysis of the elders was correct. If the Chen family really went against his will to grab the territory, he could only acquiesce in their actions in the end.
The reason is simple, the Chen family is an important chess piece for him in the Yu Dynasty, and he will not give up.
However, right now is not the right time for the Chen family to make a move. If the Chen family gets involved at this time, it is inevitable that some changes will not happen.
What's more, the Chen clan may not really be united as one, otherwise the clan leader Chen wouldn't need to hide from all the elders that he is not the real Chen Yunfei.
Gu Chen glanced across all the elders present, with flickering eyes, the Chen family would suffer a great loss if they entered the world rashly while the traitor was not eliminated.
Gu Chen thought about what to say to make the elders back off, when a voice came from afar.
"The conflict between the two holy lands is intensifying, and the loss has reached the point where they can't bear it. At this time, my Chen family has entered the world, are they not afraid that they will turn their backs and deal with my Chen family and use my Chen family to make up for the loss? "
It was Clan Chief Chen who spoke. He transmitted voice through the air, but he didn't show up. These words shocked many elders into a cold sweat.
"Cut first and play later. If the Great Prophet is displeased and instead supports the two holy lands to attack our Chen clan, how will we, the Chen clan, deal with ourselves?"
"Don't forget, the current Chen family is useless. If giving up the Chen family can get the support of the two holy lands for Luomen in other aspects, then the Great Prophet may not think about it!"
Patriarch Chen said again, the faces of the elders couldn't help but changed again, indeed, they didn't consider this before!
Seeing that the elders who were originally high-spirited quickly became hesitant, Gu Chen couldn't help secretly admiring the eloquence of Patriarch Chen.
Patriarch Chen knew the inside story of the alliance between the two parties. He knew very well that even if the Chen clan cut it first, he and the Great Prophet would not be able to tear up the covenant, because he had a handle in his hands.
However, Patriarch Chen still deliberately lied to make the elders retreat, which shows that he also does not support the Chen clan's entry into the WTO at this time.
Doesn't Patriarch Chen want the Chen clan to rise again?
Of course not, he was looking forward to that day more than anyone else.
His current statement is not only to maintain the alliance between the two sides, but there may also be other considerations.
He didn't even show his face, but just transmitted the sound through the air, Gu Chen couldn't help guessing the state of Patriarch Chen at this time.
After he gave the Dayuanli technique, Clan Chief Chen entered a state of closed-door cultivation. If he didn't support the Chen Clan to stir up chaos at this time, he probably didn't want to affect his breakthrough.
In other words, he is already confident that in the near future, he can make the Chen clan rise again by himself...
"Let's let this matter go, I, the Chen family, will wait and see what happens!"
Patriarch Chen made a final decision, and then stopped talking, and the enthusiasm of the elders was also extinguished.
The patriarch was right, if doing that would bring disaster to the Chen clan, none of them would be able to bear the responsibility.
"Let's go!"
The Great Elder sighed, shook his sleeves and left without saying anything to Gu Chen.
The other elders also left with a sigh and did not say goodbye to Gu Chen, apparently feeling resentful in their hearts.
"Everyone, go slowly."
Gu Chen was polite and polite, watching the elders leave, most of his eyes fell on the fourth elder, Chen Qinghe, thoughtfully.
