Chapter 720 Chen Ding’s grievances!
The main domain of the Chen family.
Chen Li, the third elder of the Chen family, sat upright on a chair with a gloomy expression, as if covered with a layer of frost.
Sitting around him were the leaders of the Chen family who had withdrawn from the front line with him.
Their faces were as cold as ice, making people feel daunted.
As early as a few days ago, when they were stationed outside the Padtik Magic Eye, they had already learned about what happened to the Chen family.
The Sutra Repository was looted, Chen Ding was seriously injured, and Chen Kou was half crazy.
I thought things were bad enough.
Unexpectedly, something even more exciting is yet to come——
The Chen family’s treasure house is empty!
Literally empty!
The Chen family has accumulated thousands of years of experience.
Gone!
That damn thief even stripped clean all the spiritual tree planks on the ground used to nurture pet eggs!
Not even a hair was left for them!
When they first heard the news, half of the Chen family leaders fainted on the spot.
The remaining half suffered from qi and blood congestion and vomited large amounts of blood.
However, the Demon Eye was agitated at the time and needed to assist in defense, so he was unable to rush back.
After everything was over, he hurried back.
As soon as he arrived at Chen's house, he didn't even have time to rest, and gathered in the meeting room to find out the whole story.
Amid the suffocating and oppressive wait, a group of Chen family members finally arrived.
The crowd dispersed, revealing Chen Ding leaning on a stretcher.
The head of the Sutra Repository no longer had the vigor and vitality he had before, and his pale and thin face was full of weakness.
Although there were no obvious injuries on his body,
But if you calm down a little and feel it, you can find that his qi and meridians are disordered and the flow of physical energy is blocked.
It’s true that the injury was caused by the power of rules!
Chen Li narrowed his eyes, suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart, and said:
"Chen Ding, you sent me news earlier, saying that you became like this because you practiced the fake Crazy Blade Sword Manual. Where is the sword manual? Bring it out to me to see."
Chen Ding's eyelids opened and closed slowly, and a weak sound came out of his throat:
"Arnold, give the sword manual to the third elder."
"Yes." A member of the Chen family named Chen Nuo took out a stack of stapled papers, walked quickly with small steps, and presented it respectfully to Chen Li.
Logically speaking, Chen Li's position in the Chen family is only the third elder, and he should not be the first to be checked.
But considering that among the Chen family, he is the one who has the deepest attainments in mad sword and the most thorough understanding,
So the other leaders didn't say much, and they all stretched their necks, waiting for the result.
Chen Li held the hand-copied sword manual and examined it carefully.
At the beginning, his complexion was normal and he didn't turn the pages very quickly.
But as he looked at it, a purple color began to appear on the face of the third elder of the Chen family.
The page turning action is getting faster and faster.
For a moment, the only sound in the dead silence of the conference room was the rustling of papers.
Finally, Chen Li finished reading the last page.
The bruises on his face were extremely intense at this moment.
He raised his head suddenly and shouted:
"How could you be fooled by such a fake sword manual?!"
"Chen Ding, has your brain been eaten by a dog?!"
After yelling twice, Chen Li seemed to feel that it was not enough to vent his anger, so he simply raised his hand and threw the fake sword manual at Chen Ding's face!
"Can it also form sword skills?"
"Form one now and let me see it!"
An abnormal redness appeared on Chen Ding's sick face.
He coughed twice and responded with difficulty:
“Third Elder, it is indeed impossible to form sword skills on the data panel now... but it was possible before... ahem..."
"I just wanted to confirm the authenticity of the sword manual, so I practiced it briefly... If I hadn't developed sword skills, how could I have fallen to this point?"
Chen Li said nothing, but his chest heaved and he breathed heavily.
Seeing this, the other Chen family leaders started to discuss:
"Chen Ding is not a fool. I think he must have been influenced by some kind of mind control talent or props, which led to the current situation."
"Yes, that guy named Lu Li obviously came prepared and deliberately plotted against Chen Ding."
"Well, I have a question. If Chen Ding's mind was affected by a mind-controlling talent or item, then why did Chen Kou also go crazy?"
"Uh… maybe he's been affected too?"
"But Chen Ding mentioned in his previous message that he gave the sword manual to Chen Kou to practice after he confirmed it was correct. It did not pass through the hands of another person during the process..."
"Chen Ding, this is correct, right?"
Everyone's eyes once again turned to the weak master of the Sutra Repository.
But seeing the other party nodded slightly:
"Yes, Chen Kou is the best knife embryo of the younger generation of the Chen family... How could I not carefully examine the knife skills he wants to learn?"
"It's useless to check, you're a blind jerk!" Chen Li was still furious and cursed rudely:
"I only hate that I have to respond to the Overlord's order and go to the Magic Eye of Padtik to assist in the defense."
"If I had stayed at Chen's house at that time, I would have definitely discovered the problem with the sword manual!"
"Koer... he shouldn't be as crazy as he is now... trapped in a cage, like an animal, not a human!"
At the end of his speech, Chen Li's voice trembled and his sadness was evident in his words.
Everyone in the Chen family knows that the Third Elder values talent as much as his life.
What's more, Chen Kou is his grandson.
The reason why Chen Ding has not been killed by the violent Third Elder yet is entirely because the matter has not been thoroughly clarified and he is also disabled.
Chen Ding, who was good at observing people's words and expressions, naturally understood this principle.
But he understood Chen Li’s anger, but who understood Chen Ding’s grievances?
He took almost all the precautions, everything he should and shouldn't do.
Even the sword manual he got was practiced once by himself to make sure he could perform the sword skills on the panel. Only after he had confirmed that there was no problem did he give it to Chen.
Obviously everything is watertight.
But why did the situation become such a mess?
It made as if Chen Ding was stupid and wanted to ruin the Chen family on purpose.
The physical discomfort and psychological resentment merged together, like a sharp-edged stone, stuck firmly in his throat!
If he doesn't spit it out, he will suffocate to death!
Chen Ding took a deep breath and shouted as loudly as he could with his weak body:
"Chen Ding can guarantee that even if the Third Elder personally inspected the sword manual at that time, he would not be able to detect the problem!"
"The final result will still be the same as it is now, the Chen family will suffer, and Chen Kou will go crazy!"
"Nothing can be changed!"
"You!" Chen Li's face was ferocious.
The hard Huanghuali handrail shattered in an instant under his rage and turned into rubble on the ground.
If the other elders had not stopped him, he would have drawn his knife and chopped Chen Ding's head.
"Alright, calm down!"
The majestic voice resounded throughout the meeting room.
An old man with black beard and dressed in purple and gold robe walked in from the gate, with one hand behind his back and the other hand placed in front of his abdomen.
Two metal walnuts made of unknown material kept spinning and colliding in his palms.
Although the sound was not loud, it brought a sense of peace to everyone present.
Everyone lowered their eyes and said to the person who came:
"Master of the house."
