But this is not a long-term solution after all.
Chen Xingzhen shook his head slightly. After worshiping the sacred tree, he prepared to go back and communicate with his father in his dream to see if his father had any other ideas.
But just as Chen Xingzhen was about to leave, there was a rustling sound suddenly from the locust tree above his head.
After hearing this, Chen Xingzhen couldn't help but look up.
As he looked, several locust leaves fell from above his head and slowly floated towards Chen Xingzhen's eyes.
Chen Xingzhen reached out and took the locust leaves. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, and he didn't quite understand the purpose of the sacred tree.
But after a while, Chen Xingzhen's body was slightly stunned, and he turned his gaze to the locust leaf in his hand again, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
This doesn't seem like a bad idea, does it?
…
"Xingsong, do you still remember the route our family took when we first migrated?"
Chen Xingsong's old eyes filled with tears when he heard the clan leader's question:
"Chief, I certainly remember the path we took back then. I even remember the graves of those dead members of my tribe. I will never forget them."
"Okay, Xingsong, this time the family has given you an important mission. Go and find the deceased members of my Chen family."
After hearing this, Chen Xingsong was stunned, his face full of confusion.
All the tribesmen are dead. How can he find them? Should he let himself go down and look for them?
While Chen Xingsheng was daydreaming, Chen Xingzhen took out several locust leaves from his hand and explained the use of each locust leaf one by one.
"This all-green locust leaf can help you recover from your injuries."
"This half-black, half-green locust leaf can help you improve your realm."
"This completely black locust leaf can help you find the whereabouts of your people. All you need to do is..."
Looking at the colorful locust leaves in his hand, the confusion on Chen Xingsheng's face did not diminish, but he still listened carefully.
When he heard the power of the last locust leaf, Chen Xingsong quickly understood the patriarch's intention.
When the family migrated, many people died along the way. Now that the family has the sacred tree, if they can find these people back, wouldn’t it also enhance the family’s strength in disguise?
Thinking of being able to see his clansmen and relatives whom he hadn't seen for many years, Chen Xingsong's slightly cloudy eyes were instantly filled with fighting spirit.
"Chief, I will complete the mission and return safely!"
Although he is only in the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm, Chen Xingsong's face is full of determination and confidence.
"Okay! You must be careful on this trip and be cautious in everything. Regardless of whether you find the person or not, you must return home safely in two months."
"I see."
Chen Xingsong simply packed his bags and left the family at a slow pace.
Although no tribesmen saw him off, the gazes of the tribe leader and many deceased tribesmen stayed on his back, making his somewhat hunched body straighten up.
Chen Xingzhen saw them off from afar until he could no longer see his tribesmen, and then he turned around and returned to his tribe.
Last night, after the sacred tree told him the function of the locust leaf, Chen Xingzhen quickly came up with this idea.
There are not many members of the tribe now, whether they are alive or dead, but we can't let the living members die, nor can we resurrect the dead members, so let's just look for the original members.
Before the family migrated, it had at least several hundred people.
Even though the distance is far, the journey is difficult, and more than 20 years have passed, I don’t think it will be a complete loss.
Those tribesmen died for the rebirth of their family and should not be buried in the wilderness.
…
In Yong'an City, in the Shi family hall, several clan elders gathered together and listened to the reports from the clan members below.
After the last family meeting, Shi Chenghong and a group of elders quickly decided which family to join, which was the Le'an Sun family.
Among them, the Xiangshui Fang family is far away, and the Liu family that was defeated in Xiangshui City before also lives near Yong'an City. If the Fang family knew about it, they probably would not agree.
As for the Qinghe Cui family, I heard that the current patriarch of this family has no real power. Everything is controlled by several family elders, and there are many disagreements among the elders. This makes it not very suitable for the family to join.
After much thought, only the Sun family in Le'an City is the most suitable. Moreover, the family has heard that there are many small families affiliated with the Sun family, so the family's opportunities are much greater.
"Chief, the plan is not going smoothly..."
Shi Chenghong, who was originally waiting for good news, frowned after hearing this and asked:
"What happened? Tell me in detail!"
"Yes, clan leader. A few days ago, after I arrived in Le'an City, I went to the Sun family and wanted to meet the elder or clan leader of the Sun family, but I couldn't even enter the gate."
"Didn't you say that the family had something important to discuss with the elders of the Sun family?"
"I told him to get lost, saying that not just anyone can see the elders of our tribe."
The tribesman below said weakly.
The faces of the people who heard this all looked grim.
This matter is of great importance, so of course I have to meet an important figure in the other family before I can tell him about it and discuss it with him. Otherwise, once this matter gets out, it will definitely offend the Zhou family. If the family cannot find help by then, then it will be really over.
"Humph, damn Sun family, they don't even take my Shi family seriously."
"This is really too much!"
I thought that the Sun family thought that what the family offered was not good enough, or they were unwilling to agree, but I didn't expect that the family members couldn't even enter the family gate!
These big families are really hateful.
But his strength was not as good as others. Shi Chenghong hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Chengfang clan elder, this matter is extremely important, or you can go there in person."
An elder of the tribe nodded after hearing this.
This is the only solution for now.
"In order to avoid any problems, let's send two more elders to try the other two major families."
He just didn't believe it, and none of the three families agreed.
"Over at the Xie family, how are the elders discussing this?"
"I have discussed this with Xie Yanmiao, but the Xie family actually wants 50% of the blood rice!"
"Humph, the Xie family doesn't even need to do anything, they just need to stay out of this matter. But they actually want 50% of the blood rice, that's really too much."
"But if you don't care about the Zhou family, 50% blood rice is 50% blood rice. The Chen family also has an earth-level combat skill!"
Shi Chenghong said helplessly.
"But this matter needs to wait until the family finds a family that can deal with the Zhou family before agreeing to it."
“It’s natural.”
…
"Clan leader, the Shi family has sent three more clan elders, heading in three different directions..."
At the Xie family, Xie Yanmiao frowned slightly as he listened to the news from the clansmen.
Other people in Yong'an City don't need to pay too much attention, but the elders of the major families must pay some attention.
But when Xie Yanmiao heard the three elders of the Shi family heading in three directions respectively, there was some confusion in her eyes. For a moment she didn't understand what the Shi family was intending.
"Bring me a map."
