Upon hearing this, Chen Yuantu's anger surged like a raging fire. A powerful aura erupted from him, resembling an invisible giant beast roaring towards Shen Qingyue and Chen Li.
"Outrageous!" His eyes widened as if they might pop out of their sockets, and he shouted angrily, "You little beasts, how dare you insult our ancestors!"
Feeling the intensity of his presence, both Shen Qingyue and Chen Li's expressions shifted slightly. Shen Yunlei, a seasoned general, though startled inside, maintained a calm exterior. He positioned himself protectively in front of Shen Qingyue, his gaze warily fixed on Chen Yuantu.
"What do you intend to do in public, Chen Yuantu?" Shen Qingyue asked with a faint smile, gently pushing Shen Yunlei aside. "I'm fine; please step back."
With an air of indifference, she took a step forward as if she were completely unaffected by the overwhelming aura. Her face remained cool and detached. She raised her eyes to meet Chen Yuantu's fierce gaze with her clear ones, a mocking smile playing at the corners of her lips as she said brightly, "Scumbag Dad, are you feeling embarrassed? I'm just speaking the truth. My brother's prowess is such that even all our ancestors combined might not match him. Isn't it normal for them not to bestow their protection anymore?"
At this moment, Chen Li wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood beside Shen Qingyue. His expression was equally calm. "Chen Yuantu, Yue'er is merely stating facts! What? Can you no longer tolerate the truth?"
Though Chen Li felt helpless, he understood that his sister's actions were meant to defend him. Since things had escalated to this point, he decided not to hold back any longer.
"You two are outrageous!" Chen Yuantu stammered in his fury.
Meanwhile, Xu Yan'er seized the opportunity to approach Chen Yuantu and spoke softly, "Marquis, please calm down. Don't stoop to their level. They are just confused and have spoken such rebellious words in haste; you mustn't let it upset you."
Lowering her voice further, she added with a venomous tone, "Marquis, this little girl and that wretched child Chen Li have dared to defy you and show disrespect to our elders. Clearly, they do not regard you or the marquisate highly. We cannot let this go unpunished!"
Taking a deep breath to suppress his rage, Chen Yuantu shot a cold glance at Shen Qingyue and Chen Li before saying icily, "You have betrayed our ancestors; even the Shen Family can no longer protect you! Today, I shall invoke the Ancestral Judgment upon you in the name of your lives!"
As he spoke, the murderous intent deep within his eyes began to rise. These two little beasts had always been peculiar and had caused him considerable trouble. Although today's events were somewhat unexpected, he didn't mind; it was a perfect opportunity to eliminate them once and for all!
Xu Yan'er quietly covered her mouth with a smile, then regained her seriousness and echoed, "What the Marquis says is true. These two Little Beasts have been so audacious; today they must face the Ancestral Judgment to quell the anger of our ancestors! Otherwise, if this sacred place is defiled by them and angers many ancestors, it will surely affect the fortune of our Qian Sheng Empire. I hope the Three Imperial Elders will make a decision!"
Xu Yan'er's words were resolute and commanding. As soon as she spoke, the crowd erupted in an uproar. The strong members of various families began to whisper among themselves, their discussions growing louder.
As long as the elders of the Three Great Royal Clans agreed, the Ancestral Judgment would be initiated immediately. Everyone turned their gaze toward Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, many eyes filled with amusement and mockery. These two little ones truly did not know how high the heavens were! They dared to speak so boldly in such a place!
Indeed, the Ancestral Judgment was a forbidden technique that had not been activated for a thousand years! These two children probably couldn't even imagine the terror of Ancestral Power. Hmph, I think they are simply tired of living! How dare they disrespect the protection of their ancestors? Isn't that seeking their own demise?
Hehe, I find these two little ones quite interesting; at such a young age, they dare to elevate themselves so! Who in this world isn't seeking the protection of their ancestors? Yet they boldly claim that their ancestors are incapable of protecting them? Chen Yuantu must have given birth to two rebellious children; no wonder he wanted to expel them from the Marquis' residence and sever ties!
What a pity; these two little ones are likely about to meet their end here! At just six years old, they are about to be punished by the power of their ancestors—just thinking about it is terrifying!
Indeed, look at how the Wuding Marquisate has mobilized; even the elders of the Three Great Royal Clans are being swayed. Once the Ancestral Judgment begins, these two little ones will have nowhere to escape!
Hearing these discussions, Shen Zhentian and the members of the Shen Family turned pale. They never expected that Chen Li and Shen Qingyue would be so bold as to speak such words in front of so many people!
Even if they were to confront Chen Yuantu, it wouldn't be this troublesome! The Ancestral Power is a crucial support for all cultivators, yet these siblings dared to utter words that contradicted the laws of heaven and earth. Even if Shen Zhentian risked everything from the Shen Family, he might not be able to protect them!
With this thought, despair washed over Shen Zhentian. He truly didn't know what to do. He turned to look at Shen Wanzhou beside him, only to see her face even grimmer than his! Clearly, she was worried about her two children!
After a moment of stunned silence, Shen Wanzhou could no longer afford to hesitate. She rushed to the side of Chen Li and Shen Qingyue.
Her face was pale, and her voice trembled with deep worry and fear. Without a moment's hesitation, she scolded in the sternest tone, "Li, Yue'er, stop talking nonsense! Quickly kneel down and apologize to our ancestors!"
As she spoke, Shen Wanzhou grabbed Chen Li and Shen Qingyue by their arms, urging them to kneel immediately. This was the only way she could think of to protect the two children.
"Mom, please get up! We’re not talking nonsense!" Shen Qingyue exclaimed as she broke free from Shen Wanzhou's grip, her small face resolute yet calm.
Shen Wanzhou was so infuriated by Shen Qingyue's words that she couldn't find her voice. "Are you trying to get yourselves killed? I'm begging you as your mother! Hurry up and kneel to admit your mistake!"
"Otherwise, when the Ancestral Judgment descends, I won’t be able to protect you!"
By the end of her plea, Shen Wanzhou's voice softened. She looked at her two children with near despair, struggling to maintain her composure.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the expressions of the elders from the Three Great Royal Clans on the high platform growing increasingly grim.
Clearly, if the two children did not kneel down and admit their mistakes soon, there would truly be no room for negotiation left!
