Chen Family Villa.

In the hall on the first floor, dozens of people sat scattered.

Although there are only a few people in the Chen family's lineage, there are many side branches of the Chen family, as a family of internal strength cultivators, the power of the Chen family is not small, and today, the people sitting in this hall are all the real high-level members of the Chen family.

These people are responsible for all aspects of the Chen family, and the combined strength of these people will not easily ignore even Chen Nianping, the current head of the family, and even Old Man Chen, the oldest person with the most qualifications!

Seeing that all the people in the hall had arrived, Chen Nianping also nodded slightly, cleared his throat, and attracted everyone's attention, before he spoke: "I called everyone here today to announce one thing!"

Dozens of people in the hall all cast their eyes on.

But Chen Nianping's gaze suddenly became solemn, and he said solemnly word by word: "From today onwards, the Chen family will become Mr. Zhao Baliang's subordinates, and from now on, Mr. Zhao will be the leader!"

Hearing Chen Nianping's words, more than ninety percent of the people in the hall were stunned, and looked at Chen Nianping with some doubts and disbelief.

They don't understand, how could Chen Nianping suddenly say such a sentence!

In the hall, after being silent for a long time, suddenly, a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa laughed dryly, looked at Chen Nianping, and asked softly: "Family master, I don't understand! Why did you suddenly make such a decision?"

For a moment, everyone nodded slightly, and they didn't understand either.

Chen Nianping was silent for a moment, and then said: "Because, under Mr. Zhao's hands, our Chen family can get better development, and even restore the peak glory of the ancestors of the Chen family in the past!"

This sentence made the expressions of several people in the hall relax slightly, and they groaned.

However, most people still have disagreeing expressions.

Because, those few people whose expressions have changed are all descendants of the Chen family, and they are people with the real surname Chen! And most of these people can only be regarded as high-ranking subordinates of the Chen family! Although their status in the Chen family is not low, and they have a lot of right to speak, they are not really surnamed Chen after all!

Therefore, they didn't feel much agreement with Chen Nianping's words!

For them, all they care about is the power they have! The Chen family is independent, and they can naturally have a higher status, and if they become Zhao Baliang's subordinates, it means that there will be more shackles on their heads, which is not conducive to them continuing to maintain their current status!

Chen Nianping also noticed their expressions, couldn't help frowning slightly, glanced at the old man Chen who was silent on the side, and then sighed slightly, and continued: "This is a decision made by me and my father after research, and the Chen family will be Mr. Zhao Baliang's subordinate from now on!"

Saying this sentence is equivalent to telling everyone present that Old Man Chen also agreed to this decision!

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall froze slightly.

After a long time, the middle-aged man who had just spoken said with a slightly heavy face: "Family Master, I can't agree to this proposal! The current Chen family, after all, is still an independent individual, and after becoming Zhao Baliang's subordinate, no matter how the Chen family develops, it is only a vassal of others! What's more, the current Chen family is already one of the elder families of the Internal Strength Cultivator Alliance, and the development that can be achieved in the future may not be lower than under Zhao Baliang's hands!"

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, many people in the room nodded slightly in agreement.

Chen Nianping's face gradually sank, he took a deep look at the middle-aged man, his eyes flashed, but there was a bit of coldness in his eyes!

This middle-aged man, in the Chen family, is second only to Old Man Chen and Chen Nianping, the two generations of family heads, although he is not surnamed Chen, but his status in the Chen family is even higher than that of several other descendants!

On weekdays, middle-aged people have a lot of right to speak, and they are not less against Chen Nianping, the head of the family!

Hearing him speak, Chen Nianping's eyes froze, and he looked at him coldly!

The middle-aged man was not afraid of Chen Nianping's somewhat cold gaze at all, but instead greeted him with a faint smile on his face.

Chen Nianping snorted coldly in his heart, and then he looked away, swept over the people in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Cultivator Alliance, Zhao Baliang is the leader of the alliance, in terms of strength, my Chen family is not capable of holding this position as an elder! If I turn to Mr. Zhao Baliang as an enemy, I am afraid that the status of an elder that my Chen family has obtained now will also be lost in an instant! At that time, if Mr. Zhao makes a move on my Chen family, I am afraid that my Chen family will be destroyed soon!"

Hearing Chen Nianping's words, many people's faces changed.

The middle-aged man sneered and retorted: "Yes? I don't think so! I don't understand, if we don't become Zhao Baliang's subordinate, he will attack us?

As he spoke, the middle-aged man paused slightly, smiled lightly and said, "Speaking of which, I am very interested in asking, why did the head of the family suddenly make such an abrupt decision?

Chen Nianping's face sank, and he saw that many people in the hall looked at him with slightly flickering eyes, obviously, they also wanted to know the reason!

However, Chen Nianping can't say this reason!

Even in the face of Old Man Chen before, he didn't say what he knew, and the old man also agreed to his proposal because he believed him, but in the face of these people, Chen Nianping was a little embarrassed!

If he did, I was afraid that none of the people in the hall, including him, would be able to live! He had no doubt that Zhao Baliang had committed murder for the sake of that secret!

But if not, how would he explain this to these people?

Just when Chen Nianping was in a dilemma, the old man on the side had already opened his eyes, looked at Chen Nianping deeply, seemed to understand something, and after a deep sigh, in his eyes, the color flashed suddenly, and he slowly turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man.

"Hu Rong, are these words what you should ask? Now the head of the Chen family, is it your turn to be a person surnamed Hu?"

The old man's voice sounded in a low voice in the hall, although the voice was not loud, but it made many people, including Chen Nianping and Hu Rong, suddenly startled in their hearts!

Since Old Man Chen passed the position of head of the family to Chen Nianping, in order to maintain Chen Nianping's authority, the old man has not said a word at the family meeting for a long time!

Even if he has something to say, the old man will find an opportunity to talk to Chen Nianping in private, and will never speak at the meeting!

Therefore, when they heard Old Man Chen's voice, many people in the hall suddenly stared!

The middle-aged man's face changed even more suddenly, he looked at Old Man Chen, and laughed dryly: "Hehe, don't be angry, old man, it's just that, as a member of the Chen family, I really can't figure out why the head of the family made such a decision today! Isn't this also for the sake of the Chen family!"

Old Man Chen glanced at the middle-aged man, but snorted coldly: "It's better to be like this! However, today's matter was done by me and Nian Ping! I finally asked, who else disagrees with this matter?"

Old Man Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't look at anyone in the hall, but his eyelids drooped slightly, so that no one could see Old Man Chen's expression clearly.

In the hall, in the short silence, the middle-aged man and many people glanced at each other, and then nodded slightly, and then, he looked at Old Man Chen with a smile and said softly: "I still maintain an opposition to this matter, but after all, the head of the family is the head of the family, if the head of the family insists, I won't say anything!

As he spoke, Hu Rong glanced at the people in the hall.

At that moment, among those people, many of them spoke up and talked softly.

"yes, this thing"

"Well, Hu Rong is right, this decision"

"The decision of the head of the house is a bit abrupt, this"

"It's better for a family to remain independent, I think"

Everyone spoke one after another, whispering their thoughts.

Chen Nianping's face was also gloomy, and he could hear the threat in Hu Rong's words just now!

Hu Rong's meaning is very simple, if Chen Nianping insists on going his own way, it will chill the hearts of many people!

And he really doesn't want to!

Suddenly, just when everyone had just spoken, and they hadn't even finished a complete sentence, Old Man Chen looked at Chen Nianping, and asked cautiously and seriously: "What you said before, how likely is it?"

As soon as Old Man Chen spoke, the voice in the hall stopped abruptly, and there was only his voice.

Chen Nianping was also slightly stunned, and then he understood, Old Man Chen was asking, what he said before, if he didn't put himself under Zhao Baliang, Zhao Baliang would be the possibility of making a move on the Chen family, how much is it?

Chen Nianping smiled bitterly, looked at Old Man Chen, and said word by word: "Ten percent!"

Old Man Chen nodded, turned his head and glanced at Hu Rong: "You insist on opposing it?"

Hu Rong smiled and nodded: "Of course! This matter, no matter how you look at it, is not very good for the Chen family!"

Hearing him say this, Chen Nianping felt a little angry in his heart at the moment, could it be that this Chen family, only you, Hu Rong, are thinking about the family, and I, the head of the Chen family, will push the Chen family into the fire pit?

At that moment, Chen Nianping snorted coldly: "I'm also for the good of the Chen family!"

Before he finished his words, he saw Old Man Chen wave his hand violently and interrupt him.

Chen Nianping was stunned for a moment, but Old Man Chen didn't look at him, but just looked at Hu Rong, his expression was unwavering.

"Got it"

Suddenly, the always calm look on Old Man Chen's face suddenly rose with an extremely rare fierceness!

Seeing this fierce look, Hu Rong was slightly stunned, and then his face changed greatly, and he immediately stood up, he wanted to retreat, and said eagerly: "Old man, I"

Before he could say anything, a figure flickered in front of him, and the old and cold voice suddenly echoed gloomily in this living room!

"Disobedience to the head of the family deserves death!"

Accompanied by this voice, there was also an old wrinkled palm that gently covered Hu Rong's neck!

Click!

The next moment, the crisp sound of bones shattering suddenly sounded in the horrified eyes of everyone in the hall!
