Chen Tang's heart had sunk to the depths. He was not worried about the Elders Council and Chen Hong, but now with the hearts and minds of the people shifting, this guy was also learning to be cunning, actually knowing how to exploit the sentiments of the people to his advantage; this was what worried Chen Tang the most.

"Chen Tang, all of this is your doing. Today you must accept your fault and relinquish your position. Otherwise, if the Chen Family's centuries of foundation is destroyed in one fell swoop, you will be the sinner through the ages..."
