"Okay, no need to say more, I know what to do!"
Chen Xingzhen interrupted Chen Qingyu and said in a loud voice.
He understood the huge risks behind this idea, but he still wanted to take a gamble, simply because he didn't want the family that his ancestors had worked so hard to build to be destroyed in his hands.
The family sacred tree that is regaining its vitality behind him is the source of Chen Xingzhen's confidence.
Looking at the clan leader's calm eyes, the two did not refute anymore. They could see that the clan leader had other ideas, but they could not guess what Chen Xingzhen was thinking for a moment.
As the two of them observed carefully, they also clearly realized that the patriarch's mental state seemed to be good, much better than before, which made them even more confused.
"Have any of the injured people in the tribe come here?"
At this time, Chen Xingzhen looked at the person who had delivered the message before and asked.
"Bring them all! There are a total of fifteen people in the family who were injured in the recent battle with the Li family."
As he finished speaking, some injured people wrapped in white cloth came forward from the back of the crowd.
Among these ten or so people, some were using crutches, some had their foreheads bandaged, and some were lying on stretchers!
The man in the front was in his forties, with one of his arms tied with rough gauze. This man was Chen Tianyu, one of the four blood coagulation realm warriors in the Chen family.
It's just that his arm was injured in the attack by the Li family two days ago. Although it does not affect his movement, he can only exert half of his strength now.
“Chief!”
Chen Tianyu nodded in greeting.
"Well, all of you follow me in! The rest of you wait outside and are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall for the time being!"
Halfway through the walk, Chen Xingzhen looked back and said:
"Tian Jing, Qing Yu, you two come in too."
Upon hearing Chen Xingzhen's order, the rest of the tribesmen all looked puzzled, and for a moment they didn't understand what the tribe leader's intention was.
Chen Qingyu and Chen Tianjing were equally confused, but they did not refuse, and they walked into the ancestral hall together.
The rest of the clansmen could only wait outside and watch the door of the ancestral hall slowly close.
"Hey, Qing Meng!"
In the crowd, Chen Qinghe, who was standing at the back, shouted to Chen Qingmeng who was standing beside him.
Chen Qingmeng turned his head doubtfully and said:
"Qinghe, what's wrong?"
"Do you want to see what the clan leader and his men are doing in the ancestral hall?"
Chen Qingmeng's eyes widened slightly when he heard this, and he immediately understood Chen Qinghe's thoughts, but he immediately shook his head and said:
"No, the clan leader just gave the order, and my father and the others are right in front of us, do you want to be punished?"
"We'll just go over there from last time and take a sneak peek through the wall. The chieftain won't notice!"
This made Chen Qingmeng hesitate:
“This isn’t good!”
Seeing this, Chen Qinghe spoke again:
"Don't you want to save the family?"
"What does this have to do with saving the family?"
Chen Qingmeng looked confused, but still slowly moved his feet.
The two men quietly slipped away from behind the crowd and sneaked towards the other side of the ancestral hall.
Inside the ancestral hall, when everyone saw Chen Xingzhen walking towards the family sacred tree standing in a corner of the hall, there was some confusion on their faces.
Chen Qingyu frowned slightly, not understanding the clan leader's intention. He just looked at the family sacred tree in the corner of the ancestral hall with a bit of contempt in his eyes. At the same time, he thought in his heart that he must persuade the clan leader again about the importance of the family secret passage.
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Chen Xingzhen strode to the bottom of the sacred tree and slowly spoke to Ji Yang:
"Master Shenshu, this is the person in our clan who is currently injured. I hope you can show your brilliance!"
Everyone who heard this had a look of astonishment on their faces, and even more disbelief in their eyes.
What is their patriarch doing?
Are they praying to the sacred tree to heal their injuries?
Is the patriarch crazy?
Although they learned that the family sacred tree had sprouted, they did not think that the tree could heal them. Moreover, some of them were seriously injured and even the family doctor said that they could not recover in a short time.
However, everyone could only bury these thoughts in their hearts and dared not speak them out.
Chen Tianyu, who was at the front of the crowd, did not hide his feelings, but stepped forward quickly and whispered to Chen Xingzhen who was praying:
"Chief, have you not had enough rest recently? Why don't you go and have a rest for a while!"
He heard that Chen Xingzhen had not rested for several days because of the recent family affairs. Although he was a warrior in the Blood Coagulation Realm, it would not make sense to continue like this for a long time. Otherwise, why would he say such nonsense now?
As a junior in the family, he must of course give some advice now. If the clan leader goes crazy, then the family is really hopeless.
Chen Xingzhen looked at Chen Tianyu, who was worried, and felt neither amused nor helpless.
Before he had seen the glory of the sacred tree, he thought he was going crazy. However, after experiencing it personally yesterday, he already knew the current capabilities of the sacred tree, which was more than enough to heal everyone's injuries.
Chen Xingzhen did not explain too much, but just asked the injured tribesmen present to sit cross-legged under the sacred tree.
Explanations are unnecessary now; they will understand once they experience it themselves!
Seeing that the patriarch looked serious and did not seem crazy, Chen Tianyu walked towards the sacred tree with half belief and half doubt. The others did not refute, but they also looked curiously towards the family sacred tree in front of them.
Ji Yangyao looked at the dozen people below, silently estimating in his heart how much vitality he would have to sacrifice. It was probably not too little, especially for the one who was carried in on a stretcher, whose injuries seemed to be more serious.
But now that things have come to this, Ji Yang doesn't have much choice.
Prior to this, Chen Xingzhen had revealed his plan in full. He wanted to use his own brilliance to heal the injured members of the Chen family, and then let some of the members sneak through the family's secret passage to hunt deep in the mass grave mountain.
The things obtained from hunting are used to maintain the survival of many members of the family on the one hand, and for sacrifice on the other.
Ji Yang was naturally eager for the sacrifice.
The more sacrifices he made, the faster his blood and spiritual power would accumulate. At the same time, he could also carry out the next deduction and increase his own strength.
Although vitality is important, it is currently sufficient to maintain one's own growth, not to mention the existence of the Lunar Eclipse Technique, so there is no need to worry for the time being.
Ji Yang also saw what happened outside the ancestral hall just now.
The family secret passage is the Chen family's last way out. Now that the patriarch Chen Xingzhen has spoken personally, it is obvious that he has placed all the bets on himself.
The Chen family is in a serious situation now. If he does not adopt this method, he doesn't even know how the Chen family will deal with the attack from the Li family in a few days.
At the same time, Ji Yang was secretly glad in his heart that the clan leader was not an old stubborn man and did not choose to abandon the family, otherwise he would really have to die here!
So when Chen Xingzhen made the request, Ji Yang had no reason to refuse.
