Chapter 26

**Clang!!**

A piercing roar echoed.

Ji Canghai was stunned.

He saw that a faint golden light appeared around Chen Chang'an's neck.

These golden lights, like a dense layer of scales, covered Chen Chang'an's neck, preventing the sword from piercing through!

"You!!! You actually have a King-level armor too! How is that possible? Why does your Chen family have a King-level armor!"

Ji Canghai roared in frustration.

"Ha ha!"

Chen Chang'an let out a cold, contemptuous laugh, "You, stealing the Overlord bloodline from this young master, you better give it back to me!!"

"Ugh!!!"

Ji Canghai screamed, his face full of unwillingness as he watched the blood from his body flow towards Chen Chang'an's arm!

Moreover... it wasn't just the Overlord bloodline being drawn out; it seemed to be draining all the blood from his body!

"Master Chen, can you spare the Second Prince!" At this moment, the Duanmu Manor Lord stepped forward, pleading with Chen Chang'an.

"Big Brother Chang'an, please spare my royal brother. For the wrongs he has done to you, our royal family is willing to make amends in other ways!"

At this moment, Ji Mingyue also stepped forward, her face full of pleading.

Only the Crown Prince, Ji Cangshan, did not plead for mercy. Instead, he held back Ji Mingyue, "Mingyue, don't plead for him anymore. Stealing someone else's bloodline is a despicable act! Such a despicable person, even Father Emperor would not care!"

The people present were instantly shocked.

Indeed, the royal family has its unique imperial bloodline. Why would he abandon the imperial bloodline to obtain someone else's Overlord bloodline?

Is he still a prince?

Everyone showed a look of disdain!

In the middle of the scene, Chen Chang'an ignored the Duanmu Manor Lord and Ji Mingyue's pleas.

They could not interfere in the battle between the two.

Because the Chen family's disciples were watching closely.

Soon, amidst the mournful cries, Ji Canghai was drained dry and died on the spot!

The scene fell silent, and everyone looked at the Second Prince's corpse in shock, then at the calm-faced Chen Chang'an, all drawing in a sharp breath.

What a ruthless kid!

"Duanmu Manor Lord, aren't you going to announce it? I have won! And the first prize and resources of the academy competition, please give them to me."

Chen Chang'an looked at the pale-faced Duanmu Manor Lord and spoke calmly.

"Ah... okay, ε=(´ο｀*))) sigh!" The Duanmu Manor Lord sighed heavily and handed a spatial ring to Chen Chang'an.

Chen Chang'an accepted it with satisfaction.

Inside were 100,000 spirit stones and a Heaven-level spirit pill.

Not only that, he also found a blood-replenishing pill on the Second Prince's body!

And he had reclaimed his Overlord bloodline!

This time, he had made a huge profit!

Subsequently, Chen Chang'an left the academy with the Chen family, and no one dared to stop them!

After he left, the scene erupted in chaos!

The great battle between Chen Chang'an and the Second Prince, Ji Canghai, came to an end, leaving everyone in awe!

Chen Chang'an once again became the top genius of the Great Zhou Academy!

And this time, more people were discussing and fearing him!

After all, Chen Chang'an had killed quite a few people this time!

... ...

Chen Chang'an returned to the Chen family.

In the evening, he had dinner with the Chen family's patriarch and the nine elders.

Besides these people, there was one more person, Chen Xuan!

The dinner was very sumptuous, with various spirit beast meats.

This was the first meal Chen Chang'an had with the elders since his return.

The Chen family also had other elders.

However, their status was not as high as these nine elders!

"Chang'an." At this moment, Chen Xuantong spoke calmly.

"Um, Patriarch, what is it?"

Chen Chang'an was eating voraciously and mumbled a response.

He hadn't eaten for a hundred years, and his mouth was so bland it could fly away.

Although there was no feeling of hunger in the God-Burying Coffin, he still missed the taste of food.

"The Second Prince stole your Overlord bloodline, and you fought him fairly. Even if you killed him, you don't need to feel guilty!"

"Patriarch, I don't feel guilty." Chen Chang'an shrugged.

"Um, that's good, but... " Chen Xuantong said, looking at Chen Chang'an with deep meaning, "The Great Zhou Emperor wants to arrange a marriage between Princess Mingyue and you. Are you willing to accept it?"

"Arrange a marriage?"

Chen Chang'an stopped eating and was shocked, "Patriarch, is the old emperor out of his mind? I killed his son, and he wants to marry his daughter to me?"

Even Chen Xuan looked curious, "Big Brother, Princess actually treats you quite well... you... "

"Here, have a chicken leg, kids shouldn't talk too much!" Chen Chang'an stuffed a chicken leg into Chen Xuan's mouth, making his mouth bulge.

"Ha ha, this is the royal family's way of balancing power, and it also proves the benefits of great strength."

At this moment, Second Uncle fanned himself and smiled, "Chang'an, the Great Zhou Emperor thinks our Chen family is unfathomable, so he wants to bind us with his daughter and also wants to eliminate your grudge against the Ji family!"

"That's right."

At this moment, Chen Xuantong continued, "The Great Zhou Emperor was injured by someone a year ago, causing dark energy to invade his heart meridian, which he cannot expel. He has suffered greatly over the past year!"

"He wants our Fifth Elder to treat him, but now this incident has happened... So, if you become a prince consort, then it would be reasonable for him to ask Fifth Elder to treat him."

Chen Chang'an was stunned.

He had been missing for a year, and the old emperor had been seriously ill for a year...

Was he assassinated?

What a coincidence...

Seeing Chen Chang'an frowning in thought, Second Uncle smiled, "We also suspect that this incident is related to the Second Prince!"

"What? He is so ruthless?"

Chen Chang'an was stunned.

"For that position, of course." Ninth Uncle pursed his lips and spoke.

Chen Chang'an fell silent and then continued, "Patriarch, all the elders, I don't need this marriage for now."

"Okay, we'll follow your decision."

Chen Xuantong smiled, not asking for reasons or explanations.

Everyone nodded gently.

After the meal, Chen Chang'an and Chen Xuan left the table together.

The two of them went to the roof and lay down.

"Here."

Chen Chang'an handed a spatial ring to Chen Xuan.

"Big Brother, what is this?"

Chen Xuan was stunned, looked inside, and immediately pushed it back, "Big Brother, I don't want it. There are too many resources, and I still have the spirit stones my father gave me."

"Take it, I'm giving it to you."

Chen Chang'an's voice became stern, "Cultivation is all about resources. Without spirit stones, no matter how talented you are, it's hard to progress."

Chen Chang'an spoke, hands behind his head, looking at the starry sky,

slowly, "I know our Chen family is not simple. Each elder is unfathomable, and they seem to be doing something... trying to hide something... "

"What could it be?"

Chen Xuan's young face was full of confusion.

"You'll know when you grow up."

Chen Chang'an retracted his thoughts, smiled at him, "I will soon go to the Holy Land. When I'm gone, you will be the one to hold the flag for the Chen family in the Great Zhou capital, so you must cultivate well!"

Chen Chang'an finished, smiled, and returned to his room.

Chen Xuan looked at the tens of thousands of spirit stones in the spatial ring, lost in thought.

A small tower-shaped pendant around his neck emitted a sweet female voice.

"Hey, your big brother is quite considerate of you, isn't he?"
