Chapter 423: Chapter 186 Ancestral Spirit Shows Up (Please Subscribe)_2

"Oh?"

"Ah?"

The former exclamation was from the two elder ancestors, and the latter from Chen Yi.

He hadn’t expected that Old Madam Chen calling him to the ancestral hall was for the purpose of recounting his battlefield achievements to the ancestral spirits.

This, this, this... it’s truly like offering incense and sending messages to the ancestors!

"One man slaying hundreds of thousands..." Chen Zun looked at Chen Yi, whose face still bore traces of youthfulness, and asked:

"If this old man remembers correctly, Yi Er is seventeen this year?"

"Grandfather is correct," Old Madam Chen said with a smile blooming on her aged face like flowers, praising:

"Yi Er has been extraordinarily talented since a young age, not only accepted into the Grand Void Sect, but has now achieved such an earth-shattering feat, and has been granted the title Baron Yingwu by the Holy Emperor of our time."

"This old body thought to relay this news to our ancestors, praying for their blessings for him to be safe in the future."

After all that was said, Chen Yi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

While the facts were indeed the facts, speaking of such matters to the ancestral spirits always made him feel rather ashamed.

It was like returning from a victorious battle and seeking rewards from one’s elders.

Had he known this was the purpose, he would have politely declined Old Madam Chen’s kindness just now.

At this moment, Chen Hua gave him a very peculiar look, with eyes like misty fog, dim yet clear, sending out the message of "demon" without saying the words.

After a long pause,

Chen Hua let out an appreciative exhale, as a wisp of fragrant mist drifted out.

"Come out and see, the Qilin child of this generation from our Chen Family!"

With those words, the entire ancestral hall was enveloped in fragrant mist, and one after another, figures began to appear in mid-air.

However, compared to the two ancestral spirits Chen Hua and Chen Zun, the figures that appeared later were increasingly ethereal, some barely more than outlines.

But without exception, upon appearing, these ancestral spirits’ first action was to praise Chen Yi.

"Your military exploits are truly astonishing!"

"I recall when I encountered the southward expansion of the Demon Court, slaying tens of thousands of demons was already remarkable. I never expected that a junior among us could slay hundreds of thousands of barbarians..."

"It’s a pity they were barbarians, not demons... If Yi Er has the chance, remember to break out of Beixiong Pass and slaughter the Demon Court!"

"Old man, don’t misguide him carelessly. Even our ancestors did not dare to set foot in the Ten Thousand Mountains lightly, wouldn’t you be putting Yi Er in harm’s way by sending him there?"

"..."

Now, the only expression left on Chen Yi’s face was a rigid smile, his face frozen.

He dared not speak, afraid that opening his mouth might disturb the ancestral spirits.

Beside him, Old Lady could no longer contain herself and cheerfully interrupted the ancestral spirits, saying, "Please, ancestors, bless Yi Er."

"It is only natural."

Saying so, Chen Hua waved his hand, and wisps of fragrant mist were retracted, the dissipating ancestral spirits coalescing into a dust ring falling over Chen Yi’s head.

Hmm?

Chen Yi carefully sensed his surroundings, but did not notice anything unusual.

If there was any change, it was only that his eyesight appeared sharper and his ears could pick up sounds from farther away.

"With such a descendant, I can finally rest at ease," Chen Hua said with a smile.

The rest of the ancestral spirits also smiled, each with a look of satisfaction and relief.

At this moment, the Old Lady’s expression changed, becoming a bit more stern as she said:

"There is one more thing I would like to ask!"

"Oh?"

Chen Hua waved his hand to disperse the others, the empty space of mist gathered over the spirit tablet in the sixty-fourth row.

"Little Sixty-Three, your wife is looking for you."

The figure that appeared was a lean middle-aged soldier; it was Chen Yi’s great-grandfather, Chen Zhiwang.

He glanced around and gave thanks with clasped hands: "Thank you, ancestors."

Then he turned to look down at the Old Lady, sighing as he said, "You’ve had a hard time."

Old Lady’s eyes clouded slightly, as if misted over.

Nevertheless, she did not show it, but simply shook her head and said, "Husband, I have summoned you to ask about one thing."

"During the battle at Beixiong Pass, why did you agree to the marriage arrangement with Zhou Tiance?"

Hearing this, Chen Yi was startled.

He had not expected Old Madam Chen to inquire about the battle at Beixiong Pass.

However, this suited him well, as he too was eager to understand the events of that battle.

He originally intended to find Zhou Tiance to inquire about old matters, but now this step was spared.

"Engagement...has something happened?" Chen Zhiwang frowned at her.

"Happened? Hmph," the Old Madam scoffed, "The good things you’ve done, that Zhou Tiance belittled our Chen Family as having no one, and repeatedly engaged in despicable acts!"

"Do you know that he has attempted to secretly assassinate Yi Er multiple times, even sending Death Soldiers to kill his own grandson?"

Chen Yi’s eyes widened slightly, his gaze landed on the Old Lady with surprise.

This was indeed unexpected.

He had thought that the Chen Family was not very clear about Zhou Tiance’s actions, but it turned out they even knew about the Death Soldier’s assassination.

Wait.

Death Soldier... the Old Lady was not referring to "Hidden Dragon," so she meant not the time with Sun Zhengqiu...

That is to say, when he was unaware, Zhou Tiance also sent Death Soldiers to sneak into Marquis Mansion to assassinate?

Grandson...Chen Fan?!

Chen Zhiwang’s brows and eyes rose, looking angry, and the fragrant mist around him twisted and churned.

"Speak slowly, tell me the details of the incident!"

Soon after, the Old Lady narrated all the major and minor things the Chen Family had investigated Zhou Tiance doing behind their backs.

"Husband, how could you be so foolish?"

"That old rogue Zhou Tiance even dares to covet our thousand-year-old Chen Family!"

"He dares!?" Chen Zhiwang’s anger burnt intensely, wishing he could confront Zhou Tiance right now.

"No wonder that when the battle was about to conclude, he came to me talking about the engagement; turns out he harbored intentions of occupying the nest of a magpie!"

At this, Chen Yi understood Zhou Tiance’s plotting and couldn’t help but sneer inside.

He also did not expect that the reason Zhou Tiance repeatedly schemed against him was this.

However, "Cuckoo’s Nest" in Grandpa’s mouth wasn’t exactly accurate, after all, Chen Yuan’s Bloodline was also that of the Chen Family.

But if the Chen Family’s fate ended up like the Zhou Family’s disastrous one, and Chen Yuan was completely controlled by Zhou Tiance, then his plan might indeed succeed.

By that time, if the Chen Family was destroyed, only the Zhou Family would remain in the world.

Thus, if one’s legacy was interrupted, it would be the Chen Family’s, and the Zhou Family would rise again through Chen Yuan.

"So that’s how it is!"

In that instant, Chen Yi completely understood the reasons for the tragic life shown on the light screen.

—His Foundation Establishment was sabotaged, he was expelled from the family, Xia Wanwan died...

All these roots lay here!

But what Chen Yi still didn’t understand was, why the Chen Yuan described on the light screen differed so greatly from the present one.

Thinking it over, he could only attribute it to his intervention that changed everything.

At this time, the forefather seated at the top, Chen Hua, was also seething with anger.

"I cannot believe that such a scoundrel has emerged from the line of Duke Jingye, I, am ashamed to be associated with Zhou Ting!!"

After a long while.

The Old Lady finally started tearing up and said, "Husband, you died in battle without regret; but you’ve dragged our descendants into this!"

Chen Zhiwang’s angry face showed a trace of embarrassment, and quickly consoled, finally saying:

"Now that our family knows of his strategy, we will certainly not allow it to come to fruition."

"Moreover, with Yi Er here, with his current Cultivation, he is more than capable of handling everything."

"However, Yi Er, you must also be cautious of that old rogue Zhou’s scheming, and be wary he may use the Holy Emperor and the court to act."

Chen Yi nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked:

"Grandpa, grandson wishes to know the process of that battle; may Grandpa enlighten me?"

"What do you want to know?"

"How did Zhou Guanwu die? Was it killed by the Demon Court or perished in the court ’strife between civil and military officials’?"

"You even know this?" Chen Zhiwang was slightly surprised.

"Just tell what you’re told, why all the nonsense?" Chen Hua kicked him in the face and scolded, "Haven’t you caused enough trouble?"

Chen Zhiwang was kicked several turns, his old face turned red with anger.

"Forefather, please, do not get angry."

With that, he began to recount the events of the battle at Beixiong Pass thirty-eight years ago.

"What Yi Er said is both right and wrong."

"The Fengyue Demon Emperor had just ascended the throne, leading a demon army southward to besiege the pass—this information was noticed by the court officials quite early on..."
