(The last two chapters were about Cheng Zongzu Lao Ha, sorry, I got it mixed up~~!)
"They are crazy! The clan leader and his men must be crazy!"
Shi Pojing murmured as he walked out of the hall.
Although the Chen family has some foundation, it is still far behind the family. He believes that as long as he waits for the opportunity, he will be able to seize it sooner or later and wipe out the Chen family in one fell swoop.
As for the previous two failures, what does that have to do with him?
If I had listened to him the first time and seized the opportunity earlier instead of wasting those days, the Chen family would have been destroyed long ago.
This second time, if the clan leader had sent more people to me, the situation would not have developed to this point.
But now, the clan leader and elders are preparing to ask for support from other families and make peace with the Xie family.
It sounds good, but if you are not careful, the family will fall into an irretrievable situation.
Instead of trusting others, rely on yourself.
After thinking it over, Shi Pojing quickly understood why these elders did this.
They felt threatened and they were afraid of death, but they shouldn't be afraid to this extent, right?
These old things! They should be buried in the ground!
Shi Pojing cursed in his heart, but he was powerless and had no say in this meeting.
Even the two clan elders Shi Chengyu and Shi Chenghou who supported him did not attend this time, resulting in no one speaking for him.
The failure of this plan also resulted in him receiving corresponding punishment, and from then on, he would not be able to get the family's training resources for the year.
Moreover, he probably won't be allowed to lead any major family affairs in the future, which means he has lost the opportunity to compete for the position of patriarch.
The former was fine, as he had certain resources on his side, but the latter was something he could do nothing about. After all, there were not many elders in the clan who supported him. He had wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to win over the elders of the Cheng clan, but he did not expect such an accident to happen.
"hateful!"
"I won't give up!"
…
"Chief, the bodies have all been cleared, and we also found some scattered jade coins on them, which add up to about two thousand jade coins."
In the ancestral hall, Chen Xingzhen nodded slightly as he listened to Chen Tianyu's report, and then asked:
"What about the tribesmen? Has anyone died?"
For an ordinary family, they would certainly ask about casualties, but the family does not have to worry about injuries. As long as no family members die, it means zero combat losses.
After hearing this, Chen Tianyu showed some hesitation, which made Chen Xingzhen feel a little uneasy.
"To the clan leader, our family lost a total of six people this time, including three Blood Coagulation Realm warriors and three Body Tempering Realm warriors. They are Chen Xingyi, Chen Xingtong, and Chen Xingxing..."
Hearing the name Chen Tianyu called out, Chen Xingzhen's face looked a little ugly.
These tribesmen were all of the same generation as him, and two of them were much older than him.
At the same time, several of them are also members of the family who have migrated here. Although their talents are slightly inferior and they only recently broke through the blood coagulation realm with the help of family resources, they are also the core pillars of the family. Now they are the main members of the family who control the family's medicinal materials, ironware, etc., and are quite experienced in some aspects.
But unexpectedly, several people died this time.
Even if the power of the sacred tree could revive a few people, they would be separated from each other by the Yin and Yang from now on, which inevitably made Chen Xingzhen sad.
After hearing this, the other tribesmen also lowered their heads silently.
The losses in this battle were greater than in the previous family wars.
After a little mourning, Chen Xingzhen sighed and said:
"Please bring the bodies of some of our tribesmen here."
Looking at the corpse covered with white cloth and carried into the ancestral hall, many clan members looked sad, but at the same time, there was a hint of expectation in their eyes.
Chen Xingzhen no longer hesitated and turned to pray to the sacred tree.
These clansmen who died fighting for their family naturally cannot just disappear like that.
Above, in Ji Yang's sight, several gray souls were wandering aimlessly beside the corpses. Around these memoryless souls, many deceased clansmen gathered.
At this moment, there was no sadness on the faces of these tribesmen, but joy instead. After all, they had died long ago, and they were happy that several new tribesmen were going to join their big family.
After Chen Xingzhen prayed, Ji Yang also activated his soul-condensing ability.
The next moment, these souls rushed towards Ji Yang's tree trunk and merged into it.
When their souls merged into the tree trunk, several new fruits quickly grew out of the locust tree branches. However, these fruits were not big at the moment and needed to grow for a week before they could take shape.
"Chief, the bodies of these tribesmen?"
Below, Chen Tianyu asked hesitantly.
According to the previous rules of the family, clan members above the Blood Coagulation Realm will be sacrificed to become family guardians. Although their realm may decline after the sacrifice, their body strength is still there and they can be used.
However, the family is no longer what it used to be. The members in the Blood Coagulation Realm are no longer the main force of the family. Whether to perform the ritual or not depends on what the clan leader says.
Chen Xingzhen also thought of this, and after hesitating for a while, he spoke:
"In the past, the family had to do the rituals. Now that the family has the protection of the elders, it doesn't matter. As for whether to perform the rituals, we will see what they think after they are born."
"The body will be placed in the ancestral hall for now."
The ancestral hall is filled with a strong yin energy, so it won’t rot.
"Yes, Patriarch."
After hearing this, the others did not say anything more. It seemed better to let the tribe members decide whether to perform the ritual based on their own wishes.
"By the way, Tianjing, you can select a few new tribesmen to take over their affairs."
Life and death are commonplace, but the family must continue to develop. Now that the family has a store in Yong'an City, there is naturally no room for delay in any aspect.
According to the reply from the clan members in Yong'an City, a lot of things have been sold in the store. Although the jade coins obtained are not many, I believe that once the family scale is established, there will be good benefits in this regard.
"Well, Chief, these tribesmen have already been arranged."
Chen Xingzhen was stunned after hearing this, with a hint of thought in his eyes, but he still nodded and said nothing more.
In this war, many members of the tribe used the Five Internal Organs Ascension Technique. Although they were healed by the sacred tree, they still needed to recuperate for a while. In addition, it was time to plant a new crop of blood rice in the tribe.
Otherwise, the clan members’ cultivation resources will not be supplied.
But apart from these, there is a more serious problem facing the family.
That is how to deal with the Shi family’s next move.
Although the family won this time, the gap between them and the Shi family is still huge. A warrior who has reached the peak of the innate realm has such terrifying strength, and the Shi family will definitely not have only one warrior who has reached the peak of the innate realm.
The family would find it difficult to resist just one person. If there were more people, the family might not be able to withstand it.
It can improve the family's strength, but it won't happen overnight.
Looking at the tribesmen dispersing, Chen Xingzhen sighed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do for the moment and could only let nature take its course.
