Chapter 1396 After the Sage
When the Qin family patriarch gathered all the Qin family members, they were all on high alert.
The Tian Qin Domain was now like meat in the jaws of the Luo Sheng Imperial Dynasty. As soon as they made a move, the Qin family would have to mobilize completely.
But when they heard the patriarch say he wanted to take them away from the Tian Qin Domain, everyone was stunned.
Leave?
Where could they go?
Let alone those who were still outside and had not returned, even those gathered in this square numbered over ten thousand.
These were all members of the Qin family.
They either relied on the Tian Qin Domain for their livelihood, or it was their home!
If they left here, where would they go?
If they could leave, they would have left long ago, why wait until now?
Instantly, several elders stepped forward.
Their seniority was higher than that of the current Qin family patriarch, and they spoke without reservation.
"You little brat, if you want to go, go by yourself. We old guys won't go. This is our home. If we leave our home, how can we face our ancestors?"
For a moment, the crowd below was stirred, and some even shouted to replace the patriarch.
The Qin family patriarch was furious, but he knew that their anger was not directed at him, but at the decision he had just made.
However, he couldn't possibly say that the ancestor was not dead, and that the ancestor was still watching over the entire Tian Qin Domain, could he?
The Qin family patriarch actually knew that what was in the painting was not the real ancestor, but the wisp of spiritual power left behind by the ancestor. However, even this was enough.
The spiritual power of a sage was essentially their clone, and there was no difference from seeing the real ancestor.
And the楼主 (Lou Zhu) made this decision with his own intentions, and the Qin family patriarch had also discovered Chen Yang's special nature.
A descendant of Sage Chen!
From the ancestor's words, one could further discern his expectations for Chen Yang.
"Chen Yang, Chen Yang, you made the decision, and in the end, I am the one who suffers!"
However, thinking that Chen Yang had also prepared the majority of the supplies, the Qin family patriarch immediately spread his Nascent Soul power.
"I am the Qin family patriarch, not only elected by you, but also recognized by our ancestors!"
"Do you think our ancestor doesn't know about the decision I made today?"
"We are not leaving the Tian Qin Domain, but this world."
"Do you not know the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Luo Sheng Imperial Dynasty?"
"Even if we take leave, how many people will die when the Tian Qin Domain is defended at that time?"
"Leaving is only temporary, we will return to the Tian Qin Domain sooner or later!"
How could the Qin family patriarch not hate him?
But since the decision had been made, it had to be carried through.
The Qin family was leaving!
They would fight their way back after more descendants activated their bloodline talents or reached the Nascent Soul realm!
"What I wanted before was to fight to the death. Otherwise, how could I have mobilized so many forces to gather the Qin family's talented martial artists scattered outside?"
The Qin family patriarch swept his gaze over everyone and slowly said, "Everyone pack your belongings before noon tomorrow!"
"If anyone is unwilling to leave, even if there is only one person unwilling to leave, I will stay with them."
"But those below the Nascent Soul realm must leave."
As soon as he said this, the Qin family patriarch forcibly dispersed everyone before they could speak again.
Looking at the many elders still standing motionlessly in place, the Qin family patriarch could only sigh helplessly.
Some things could be hidden from others, but decisions made regarding Chen Yang could not be hidden from these people. He needed these people to help him handle the aftermath of the Qin family.
...
"What? That Chen Yang is also a descendant of a sage?"
"But I've never heard that Sage Chen's family had any special relationship with our Qin family."
"The future of our Qin family is going to be dictated by such a brat?"
Some were confused, some were angry, and some remained silent.
But all their eyes were fixed on the Qin family patriarch.
Until the Qin family patriarch spoke of the Qin family's sage.
That painting was regarded as a treasure of the Qin family.
For many years, no one had dared to touch it.
Although it looked like an ordinary portrait, everyone knew that it was the likeness of the Qin family's sage.
They had long forgotten the power of a sage.
But that painting had never been cleaned, yet there was not a speck of dust on it.
Only then did they realize that there was a wisp of the Qin family's ancestor's spiritual power within the painting.
But even so, some people were still unconvinced: "The ancestor's spiritual power must have been deceived by that brat Chen Yang!"
"This Chen Yang is not even a member of our Qin family, why should we listen to him?"
"And for so many years, no one in the Qin family has ever known that there was spiritual power inside. Are you sure it wasn't you who was deceived by him?"
Facing such defiance, the Qin family patriarch understood.
These people would not shed tears until they saw the coffin.
"Hmph!"
"If that's what you think, I can't do anything about it. However, the painting is in the living room. You can kneel there and see if your ancestor is willing to see you!"
After saying that, the Qin family patriarch stopped arguing with these people. The relocation of tens of thousands of people would not be completed overnight.
Therefore, he wanted everyone to bring only what they needed.
And the vast Tian Qin Domain had accumulated considerable resources over the years. These things had to be taken away by him or by others.
When Chen Yang and Zhuque just left the Qin family, they saw many people walking towards them aggressively.
Zhuque saw their unfriendly expressions and immediately stood in front of Chen Yang.
However, although their expressions were not very good, no one argued with Chen Yang.
Because if the Qin family's sage truly had spiritual power, then their Qin family would have to follow the Qin family's sage's instructions and obey Chen Yang's arrangements.
Chen Yang and Zhuque watched them kneel before the painting and said in unison, "Descendants of the Qin family, may we have a glimpse of our ancestor!"
Seeing this scene, the Qin family's sage in the painting was immediately furious.
With a little calculation, the Qin family's sage could tell what these guys were looking for him for.
However, they were all his own bloodline. Although the Qin family's sage felt that these people were not living up to expectations, he still summoned them all in.
After Zhuque saw everyone disappear, she gasped, "They won't do anything to the ancestor, will they?"
Chen Yang said with a wry smile, "How could that be! Your Qin family's ancestor is a legendary sage."
"Although the Qin family's sage is now just a wisp of spiritual power, the power of a sage is still far beyond what the Nascent Soul realm can compare to."
