Now that the power of the incense has been completely used up, Ji Yang is unable to even display the basic light curtain scene. If he wants to use this method again, he will probably have to wait for several months.
However, Ji Yang did not regret it. The family was in a critical situation now. If he did not handle it properly, the family would most likely face a fatal blow from the four major families in Yong'an City.
This is not good for the Chen family, which is on the rise. After tonight, the family will have a chance to catch its breath.
It may only take a few months, but it is worth it for the family.
But if you want to solve the problem once and for all, this alone is not enough.
The blood rice has always been in the family's fertile fields and will not change, but the greed of the four major families will slowly grow until their bodies can no longer hold it.
The family needs to become stronger.
However, considering the current resources and number of family members, this goal cannot be achieved in a short period of time.
But when Ji Yang looked down and saw the many souls in the ancestral hall absorbing Yin energy, he felt much more relaxed.
Especially the souls headed by Chen Changming, they have strong Yin energy and when they are transformed into warriors, they have reached the innate level.
There are now four such souls.
The reason why they improved so quickly was also due to the growth of Ji Yang's locust tree.
As his roots spread underground, he absorbed more and more negative energy at night.
And the closer you get to the mass grave mountain, the thicker the yin energy becomes, and you may even encounter many souls with dull eyes and broken bodies.
At first, Ji Yang was a little confused about where these souls came from.
But when Ji Yang thought carefully about the name of this place, his mind suddenly became clear.
The name of the mass grave hill is not undeserved.
Before the Chen family settled here, there were already many villages here. Whenever a villager died in these villages, they would choose a place in the mass grave and bury the remains there.
Over time, this place got this name. Perhaps because there were so many burials, many villagers could no longer find their ancestral graves.
But this is not a big problem. Whenever you worship your ancestors, you can just worship towards the mass grave.
As Ji Yang's vitality continues to increase and his roots continue to expand, sooner or later this mass grave mountain will be completely covered. By then, more Yin energy will be absorbed, and these tribesmen will be able to improve their realm faster.
Ji Yang slowly withdrew his thoughts and looked down at the stars in the sky.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the pouring moonlight is like a waterfall, forming a Milky Way between the branches and leaves covered with fluorescence.
Only he can appreciate such a beautiful scenery quietly.
…
Two days later, the people who went to the Mass Burial Hill to gather information had successfully returned to Yong'an City.
After they no longer had to follow Chen Tianjing and his group, they traveled at a very fast speed. In order to report the news to the family as quickly as possible, they traveled day and night.
"Patriarch, this is what happened."
In the lobby of the Xie family, Xie Yanwu recounted the entire journey.
In front of me was a dignified old man in his fifties. Although he was not young anymore, his face was ruddy and he looked much younger than his age.
He is the head of the Xie family, Xie Yanmiao, and also one of the Xie family's innate realm warriors, with strength reaching the late innate realm.
On both sides of the lobby, there were other family members. Looking around, there were quite a few innate realm warriors among them. At the end of the team, Xie Hongyuan was listening attentively.
"So, the Chen family's totem is still a medium-level totem?"
Xie Yanmiao said calmly.
However, many tribesmen below expressed their own opinions.
"Since it is a medium-level totem, then the Chen family must be extraordinary. It may even be a declining family."
"I just don't know what the Chen family is up to in hiding in the mass grave mountain. Are they planning to rest and recuperate here?"
"Why did it suddenly appear now?"
"But the blood rice is indeed of great benefit to the family. The family cannot give it up!"
…
The discussions of many clansmen echoed in the hall, but after Xie Yanmiao raised his hand, the hall quickly returned to silence:
"Let's put this matter aside for now."
"Since the Chen family has the incense totem, it must have been passed down for a long time. The totem must have absorbed a lot of incense energy. If we act rashly, we may cause trouble."
"Since the totem took action this time, it did not leave Yanwu behind. This is also a warning to the family."
After Xie Yanmiao finished speaking, a tribe member immediately spoke up:
"But clan leader, even if the Xie family doesn't take action, it doesn't mean the other three families won't take action. Even if the Chen family has a family totem, according to the information Yan Wu has found, there is only one Xiantian realm warrior in the family, and there is also a natural blood spring. How can the family miss such a good opportunity?"
Many tribesmen nodded slightly after hearing this.
But Xie Yanmiao chuckled:
"The natural blood spring is right there. Could it possibly run away? If the other three families want to take action, let them do it. We can use them to consume the Chen family."
"After three months, Yan Mo will be released from confinement. It won't be too late to discuss it then."
After hearing this, everyone stopped talking, and when Xie Yanmo was mentioned, many of the tribesmen's eyes brightened.
Yes, as long as Xie Yanmo breaks through the inner realm and the family's strength increases, even if the other three families get the blood rice, what does it matter? Won't they still have to hand it over at that time?
"Although we won't take action for now, we still need to investigate the background of the Chen family."
"Hong Yuan, since you discovered this, you will be responsible for it."
"Yes, Patriarch."
After the family meeting was over, Xie Hongyuan slowly walked out of the lobby.
In the past two days, she was extremely worried. After all, none of the clan members sent out by the family had returned, and even Xie Yanwu had no news. If she was questioned about this, she would be guilty.
Fortunately, Uncle Yanwu returned successfully today and brought back the news he had obtained from the Chen family.
The information that Yanwu Tangbo had discovered was no different from what she had previously speculated. From a family perspective, the Chen family was indeed just a small family, but the incense totem was something she had not expected.
A family with a totem obviously cannot be regarded as an ordinary family, let alone a medium-sized totem.
Totems between heaven and earth are divided into three categories. This is not a secret among the major families in Yong'an City. Instead, it is common knowledge.
However, there are subtle differences and expressions between these three totems.
For example, the inferior totem, although it is of inferior quality, is easy to sacrifice and can burst out terrifying power in a short period of time. However, the growth potential of this kind of totem is not high and often has certain limitations. However, different types have different growth limits, so it should not be underestimated.
According to the records in family files, there have been families in the past that had inferior totems and were extremely glorious.
In addition, speaking of the superior totem, it is said that this kind of totem absorbs the spirit of heaven and earth. If it can grow, it will have unfathomable power and the ability to change the world.
However, this kind of totem is extremely rare even in this vast world.
