"Rumble rumble ..."
At that moment, the sky trembled, the void became dreamy, and a painting of a rhinoceros gazing at the moon appeared before everyone.
As soon as that map appeared, the strong members of the Wangyue clan present all became solemn, even the clan leader stood up.
Then, led by the Moonwatch Clan chief, everyone knelt half-kneeling together, left hands on their chests, performing an extremely ancient ceremony.
After the bow, the Moon Gazing Clan chief sat back in his seat and said coldly,
"I don't want to waste words. Everyone involved in this matter, step forward."
With the clan leader's command, several Heavenly Venerable experts and hundreds of Earth Venerable experts stepped forward, lowering their heads. Besides them, thousands of Wangyue clan experts also stepped forward trembling.
"Brother Changchuan, what's going on? Why are these people so afraid? Long Chen asked quietly, not far from Xu Changchuan.
The Moonwatching Clan chief was an unfathomable powerhouse. Soul transmission in front of him would surely be sensed by him, which was very rude. It was better to ask openly.
"Brother Long, you may not know, but that is the ancestral spirit totem of our Moonwatching Clan. Every member of our clan has received her blessing.
Every move we make, every thought in our hearts, the ancestral spirits know it; no one can lie in front of them.
However, summoning the ancestral spirit totem is a huge undertaking; it will consume the Wangyue clan's fortune source and will not be opened lightly.
Unexpectedly, the clan leader summoned the ancestral spirit totem today. This time, the clan leader was truly angry. Xu Changchuan said.
"Angry?" Maybe it's not that simple? "Long Chen shook his head at the scene and said."
"What?" Xu Changchuan asked.
"As the head of a clan and the leader of the race's lifeline, one must remain absolutely calm and never make major decisions in anger." Long Chen said, feeling that things might not be so simple.
At this moment, the Moonwatch Clan chief's face was frighteningly grim, and the powerful warriors who stepped forward were all pale as paper, unaware of what punishment awaited them next.
It should be known that the Moonwatching Clan hadn't invited the ancestral spirit totem for countless years. The last time the ancestral spirit totem appeared was hundreds of thousands of years ago, and it was only used to defend against foreign enemies.
Now, even though there are no external enemies, the clan leader has invited out the ancestral spirit totem. Everyone senses that things are not looking good.
Long Chen swept his gaze over these powerful figures and noticed seventeen Celestial Venerable experts. Their auras were far stronger than those of the human race. At the Celestial Venerable realm, humans suffered greatly compared to other races.
"Those who don't know the whole story, leave." The chief of the Moonwatching Clan said.
Hearing this, many people were overjoyed and retreated. Many only attacked after hearing the enemy was coming and obeying orders.
"Puff puff puff...
As
soon as they retreated, seven people's bodies exploded with a roar, endless blood mist absorbed by the ancestral spirit totem.
"These idiots dare lie in front of the ancestral spirit totem. This is the greatest desecration of the ancestral spirit totem." Xu Changchuan said angrily.
Previously, Xu Changchuan had said that every member of the Moonwatching Clan had received blessings from the ancestral spirit totem, which is why they achieved what they have today.
The ancestral spirit totem was the heroic spirit of their ancestors. These people actually wanted to take chances and deceive the ancestral spirits, which enraged countless strong members of the Moon Viewing Clan.
The Moon Gazing Clan chief's expression grew even darker as he said coldly, "Those who have not interacted with outsiders should withdraw." "
As the Moonwatching Clan chief spoke, the two Heavenly Venerable experts were both surprised and delighted. They also withdrew from the crowd, and more than half of the Earth Venerable experts also withdrew.
Now, only fifteen Heavenly Venerables and over a hundred Earth Venerables remained on the plaza, their faces filled with terror.
The Moonwatching Clan chief looked at them, and after a long pause, sighed: "
You are colluding with each other to persecute Changchuan. This concerns the struggle for clan leaders. Although you are guilty, your crime does not warrant death."
Then his tone turned cold, murderous intent surging in his eyes: "But you colluded with foreign races, undermined the foundation of my Moonwatching Clan, corrupted our ancestors' legacy, and committed heinous crimes—deserved to die." As
he spoke, the Moon Gazing Clan chief's voice turned into a roar, clearly enraged, with murderous intent soaring to the sky.
When they heard this, the Moonwatching Clan experts present stared at them in shock. They simply couldn't believe that what was originally a dispute over the clan leader had turned into such a mess. No wonder the clan leader wanted to summon the ancestral spirit totem.
"Patriarch, we have not colluded with other races. There has never been a fixed rule in the struggle for clan leaders.
Although our approach isn't right, we are still trying to select geniuses with both martial strength and intelligence to become the future leaders of our clan.
We are guilty, but not deserving death. As for colluding with outsiders, that's out of the question. We only made some deals with them, and we were also trying to strengthen our Moon Watching Clan. A Heavenly Venerable said solemnly.
"Hmph, don't shed tears until you see the coffin. Do you know why I summoned the ancestral spirit totem? I didn't tell if you were lying, but the ancestors could.
Let me ask you, was the plan for Changchuan come up with by yourselves, or was it someone else who came up with your advice? The Wangyue Clan chief snorted coldly.
Sweat immediately broke out on the forehead of the Celestial Venerable. He honestly said, "Most of the ideas were helped by them." "
Hmph, I knew it. With your brains, you couldn't come up with such a meticulous plan. All you could do was resort to violent assassination.
Let me ask you again, was the plan to kill Changchuan originally conceived by you, or by them? The chief of the Moonwatching Clan said.
"It's them,"
the Celestial Venerable could only grit his teeth and say.
"Did you accept any benefits from the other side? This question is for all of you, and if you don't have one, you can quit. The Patriarch of the Wangyue Clan said coldly.
As a result, quite a few of these strong figures moved their bodies but ultimately did not withdraw, clearly having accepted benefits from others.
"A bunch of idiots, how can you be so foolish?" An elder Heavenly Venerable roared in anger.
If they only looked down on Xu Changchuan and thought he was unfit to be clan leader, deliberately obstructing or even resorting to underhanded tactics, even if guilty, it wouldn't warrant death. But when they accepted benefits from outsiders, the nature of the matter changed instantly.
"You're the fool! Your whole family are fools, and everyone here is fools." The Heavenly Venerable expert suddenly began to curse, seemingly ready to go all out. Pointing at the clan leader, he sneered:
"You are the biggest fool of the Moonwatching Clan. You don't know how to appreciate your kindness and are stubborn. Sooner or later, the Moonwatching Clan will be destroyed by your hands."
"Are you crazy?"
"How dare you insult the clan leader? Are you looking for death?"
For a moment, countless strong members of the Moonwatching Clan were both shocked and furious.
"So what if it's the Ancestral Spirit Totem?" What can you do to me? Family trial? Do you have the qualifications? "
Buzz"
Suddenly, the Celestial Venerable formed hand seals, and a sacred statue appeared. Divine light surged, enveloping them all. Upon seeing the statue, Long Chen immediately stood up.
"Great Brahma?"
