After their lives were taken away from them by their entire family, they regretted it

"Old friend?"

"Yes, this is what Chu Lingtian said personally"

"I see."

Lin Yun nodded slightly after hearing this and continued to listen attentively.

Then she found that Chu Li had closed his mouth and started to continue drinking tea.

What happened?

The confused Lin Yun couldn't help but speak. ask

"Chu Li, what about the old friend? Why didn't you say anything?"

"Because it's gone"

"Gone? Lin

Yun's eyes widened in surprise, and she saw Chu Li calmly saying:

"This was the only introduction Chu Lingtian had about Chu Ming at that time."

"this......"

Lin Yun was speechless after hearing this. She never thought that a family as noble as the Chu family would have a new member.

Chu Li also understood her reaction.

Because this reaction was the same as that of Chu Wanling, Chu Li and others at that time.

Chu Li vaguely remembered the scene when Chu Ming first appeared in the Chu family.

It was the summer six years ago, when the top ten sects competed and decided the ranking.

The top ten sects seemed to be together, but in fact they were distributed all over the world.

Except when facing the Great Xia court, their interests were not consistent, and they were even hostile to each other.

The top ten sects competition can be said to be the most direct way to resolve these hostilities and disputes.

The top ten sects competition is held every ten years, requiring contestants to be under the age of twenty and represent one sect to participate in the war.

According to the victory or defeat of the competition, the top ten sects will be ranked every ten years.

The top one will naturally be in great glory, and the last one will need to accept challenges from other sects, and may even lose the qualification to be one of the top ten sects.

Because of this, every competition among the top ten sects is extremely fierce, and the Martial God Hall must send people to supervise.

The last time the top ten sects competed was in the summer six years ago, and the person in charge was Chu Lingtian.

Chu Li still remembered that when he left home, Chu Lingtian was still talking and laughing with everyone, and promised to teach Chu Li how to ride a horse in the future.

But when he came back, for some reason, Chu Lingtian's temperament changed drastically, becoming extremely taciturn, and he also brought back a young man.

And that person was Chu Ming

"Chu Ming came to our house suddenly, and Chu Lingtian only told us this."

Looking at the surprised Lin Yun, Chu Li said this. Lin Yun immediately said after hearing the words:

"Who is the old friend of the Chu family leader?"

"Not sure"

"What about Chu Ming’s previous name?"

"Unknown."

Chu Li shrugged. Lin Yun could hardly believe it.

An outsider, and an outsider whom the Chu family knew nothing about, could so easily enter the famous Chu family in Daxia?

Even though the head of the Chu family agreed Yes, but is it too easy?

And where are the elders of the Chu family?

Lin Yun was confused. Seeing this, Chu Li felt that this reaction was very real. He was even more surprised, because there was no adopted son Chu Ming in the original work!

Of course Chu Li would investigate when such a person suddenly appeared, but the result was nothing!

As for the elders of the Chu family, the situation was even more strange..

Normally, a prestigious family like the Chu family would have a priest, and the most respected members of the family would become elders and form an elders' council to supervise the performance of the duties of the current patriarch.

Of course, being highly respected actually means that each branch is powerful. warriors.

However, because they are both from the Chu family, these people are often extremely loyal to the family, which is also the foundation of a family.

"Whether there is a Council of Elders can be said to be one of the criteria for judging a family."

"The strength of the Council of Elders basically represents the strongest fighting power of the family."

Because of this, even the patriarch cannot make decisions on some family matters alone, and needs to discuss and decide with the Council of Elders.

For example, depriving Chu Li of his martial god bone is rare even in the history of the Chu family. Normally, it must be supported by the Council of Elders.

Moreover, Chu Li is born weak, and depriving him of his martial god bone is equivalent to letting him die!

However, the only people present at the time were Chu Lingtian and others, and the reason was very simple.

"I haven’t seen the Chu family’s Presbyterian Church for several years."

"What? How can this be? Lin Yun said in surprise:"There is no Presbyterian Church in the Chu family?""

"it is true."

Lowering his head and taking a sip of tea, Chu Li's expression became serious for the first time and he said softly:

"Since my birth, the Chu family has had eight family elders and twelve ministers, among whom the ministers are not involved in family affairs."

"Among the eight family elders, four are away all year round and rarely come back. I have met four elders in total."

"They are the Great Elder Chu Yang, the Third Elder Chu Xingyuan, the Fifth Elder Chu Changhe, and the Sixth Elder Chu Wenbai. Each of them is a powerful man at the Grand Master level or above!"

Hearing these words, Lin Yun couldn't help but tremble slightly, showing an expression of surprise.

The four elders of the Chu family are all at the Grand Master level or above!?

Such strength is too terrifying!

You know, even if Among the ten major sects, most of the elders who can start a mountain and teach disciples on their own are only at the Grand Master level.

As for the King of Martial Realm, they are the best among the elders. There are not many in any sect, even the sect leader and them. You have to be polite when you say it!

Even if only two or three of the eight elders of the Chu family are at the Martial King level, they are enough to rival the top ten sects.

Together with the Chu family's head and worshipers, they might not be able to compete at the top level. The Chu family is more terrifying than the ten major sects!

"As expected of the Martial God family, no wonder they can lead the Martial God Temple. Such strength is simply unbelievable."

"The power of the Chu family is probably far beyond my initial imagination!"

Thinking like this in her heart, Lin Yun couldn't help but ask.

"Then what? Why is such a powerful Presbyterian Church no longer there?"

Hearing Lin Yun's question, Chu Li was silent for a moment, and then said:

"The disappearance of the Presbyterian Church was not a one-time event, but a gradual one."

"When I was six years old, the Third Elder Chu Xingyuan's old illness relapsed and he needed to cultivate a special elixir. He had prepared it in advance and went to get it alone, but there has been no news since then."

"When I was eight years old, a branch of the Chu family in Lingzhou was wiped out, which shocked the entire Chu family. After discussion, the family decided that the fifth elder and the sixth elder would lead the team and go to investigate together."

"At first, everything went smoothly. They found several families that had destroyed the Chu family branch, and they were all wiped out by the fifth and sixth elders."

"But when everything was over and they were returning, the two people suddenly disappeared, and there was no news since then. Only the ruins after the fight were left at the scene."

"This, this is......"

Lin Yun's eyes widened when she heard this, and Chu Li nodded solemnly:

"Yes, it seems that a big force is trying to trap and kill the Chu family."

"Therefore, since this incident, the Chu family has been on high alert, and the eldest elder Chu Yang will not go out again."

"But it was all in vain. Chu Li said with cold eyes:

"On New Year's Eve when I was ten years old, the great elder disappeared."
