Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1439 The Shameless Youqiong Clan

Just as everyone was engrossed in their conversation, Yun Tianqi suddenly changed the subject and said, "Young friend Lu, the real reason I invited you here today is to make a deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, "Has the old man finally revealed his true colors?"

He then continued to feign nonchalance and asked, "Clan leader, may I ask what it is?"

Yun Tianqi picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and lingered his gaze on Lu Chen's face for a moment, as if trying to read something from his expression. After setting down the teacup, he slowly said:

"Young friend Lu! As you probably know, the Sun Chasing Sacred Bow is a treasure left behind by Da Yi, the ancestor of the Youqiong clan. It not only symbolizes the power and glory of the family, but is also an important reliance for us to protect our homeland."

However, for various reasons, this treasure was lost for countless years, and its whereabouts were only recently discovered. And all of this is thanks to your help.

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes flickered; he vaguely guessed what was about to happen. "So, the clan leader means..."

Before Lu Chen could finish speaking, Yun Tianqi interrupted, "Kebo previously informed me that our clan's most precious treasure, the Sun Chasing Sacred Bow, has been obtained by you, young friend."

After discussions with several elders, we hope that you, young friend, will return the Sun-Chasing Sacred Bow to us.

"Of course, in return, our poor clan is willing to provide any assistance within our capabilities, whether it be cultivation resources or cultivation techniques. As long as you ask, we will do our best to fulfill your request."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen sneered inwardly. He hadn't expected that old bastard Yun Tianqi would be so shameless as to so brazenly want his Sun Chasing Bow.

Just as Lu Chen was about to politely decline Yun Tianqi's suggestion, Yun Kebo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted him, saying:

"Uncle, how could you do this? Lu Chen is my brother. Didn't you promise me that you would give him the Sun Chasing Sacred Arrow? How could you go back on your word? And now you're eyeing his Sun Chasing Sacred Arrow?"

His voice was full of surprise and bewilderment; he clearly hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Yun Tianqi's face turned extremely ugly, while the Third Elder, whom Yun Kebo had previously addressed as his Third Uncle, stood up angrily and pointed at Yun Kebo, rebuking him:

"How dare you! You have no right to speak here. Guards, take this traitor away and keep him under strict supervision."

Before he finished speaking, two figures swiftly slipped in from outside the door; they were clearly guards who had been waiting for orders.

Just as they were about to make their move and try to subdue and take Yun Kebo away, a dignified voice rang out: "Wait, let's see who dares to touch Ke'er."

As the voice faded, an old man slowly walked into everyone's view.

The old man had white hair and bright, piercing eyes. Although his robe was worn and tattered, it was clean and tidy, giving him an otherworldly air.

Although his face was aged, it exuded an aura of authority without anger, especially his eyes under his thick eyebrows, which seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts and look straight into the depths of their souls.

This man was none other than Yun Kebo's second uncle, Yun Fengyuan.

"Second Master!" Upon seeing the old man's appearance, Yun Kebo's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, as if he had seen the last straw.

Those around them showed expressions of awe, and even the originally imposing Third Elder took a step back, his face showing displeasure but not daring to lash out easily.

At the same time, Lu Chen heard Yun Kebo's divine sense transmission in his ear: "Brother Lu, this is my grandfather's brother. He has always been very fond of me since I was a child. Don't worry, with me here, I guarantee you will be safe and sound today."

"Third brother, what do you mean by this?" Yun Fengyuan stared intently at the Third Elder, his tone carrying an unquestionable authority. "Ke'er's father is one of the best among the younger generation of our clan. He has made many contributions to the clan. Does he deserve to be treated like this just because of a few words?"

The Third Elder's face darkened, and he immediately retorted, "Please, Elder, understand that Yun Kebo's words not only angered the Clan Chief but also challenged the authority of the entire clan."

Furthermore, the Sun-Chasing Sacred Arrow is the most precious treasure of the Youqiong Clan; how could it be easily given away to others? Besides, Lu Chen is merely an outsider; what qualifications does he have to possess the Sun-Chasing Sacred Bow?

Instead of reclaiming the Sun-Chasing Sacred Bow, Yun Kebo even attempted to gift it the Sun-Chasing Sacred Arrow. Such treasonous and disloyal acts should be severely punished!

Upon hearing this, Yun Fengyuan did not directly answer the Third Elder's question. Instead, he turned to Yun Tianqi and calmly asked, "Boss, what do you think of this matter?"

Yun Tianqi frowned slightly. He knew Yun Fengyuan's character well. If he were to step in, not only would it be difficult to retrieve the Sun Chasing Sacred Bow, but he might also lose the Sun Chasing Sacred Arrow.

He then glanced at the Third Elder, who, understanding his meaning, immediately said righteously:

"Clan leader, I believe everyone is well aware of the importance of the Sun-Chasing Sacred Bow to our Youqiong clan. If the Sacred Bow hadn't been lost during the War of the Gods, how could our Youqiong clan have fallen to this state?"

Now that we've finally found the whereabouts of the Holy Bow, are you all willing to let it fall into the hands of others?

Before the words were even finished, a clamor of discussion erupted in the hall. The crowd began to discuss the importance of the Sun-Chasing Sacred Bow and how to reclaim it to revitalize their families.

Some elders' eyes gleamed with hope, as if they saw the dawn of revival; while others wore worried expressions, fearing that this might bring unknown risks.

After all, the poor have been struggling to survive for countless years, and some people are content with mediocrity and want to continue to live in this world.

An elderly clansman stood up, his voice filled with excitement: "The Third Elder is right. If we cannot seize this opportunity, we may never rise again."

Another middle-aged cultivator was more direct: "That's right, I suggest killing him, reclaiming the Sun Chasing Sacred Bow, and revitalizing the Youqiong Clan."

"Yes, kill him, kill him."

Seeing someone take the lead, many people clamored to kill Lu Chen and take back the Sun Chasing Sacred Bow.

As the discussion intensified, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. An invisible pressure hung in the air, making everyone feel breathless.

Standing in the corner, Yun Kebo clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew he had to stand up for Lu Chen, or he would become the sinner who killed Lu Chen.

Just as the crowd was buzzing with discussion, a clear voice broke the commotion.

"Everyone, please hear me out."

The speaker was none other than Lu Chen himself. He stood up, his gaze sweeping across the room with unreadable expressions, his face revealing neither joy nor anger…
