Seeing that the head of his family was conscious and his eyes were wandering, as if he had lost consciousness, the elders behind him couldn't help but increase the volume and shouted again:
"Patriarch! What should the family do now?"
The question from the elder behind him made Shi Chenghong's body tremble slightly, and his eyes gradually came back to his senses, but then he murmured:
"what to do?"
"what to do?"
Ever since he learned the news of the death of a clan member from the family's sacred stone last night, he has been staying in the family ancestral hall, because he knows that it must be that the family has launched an attack on the Chen family.
Each shining spot of light on the magic stone represents a warrior in the family. The brighter the spot, the stronger the strength of the family member.
But when he saw the light spots on the family's sacred stone disappearing one after another, the calmness on his face quickly disappeared, because the casualties of his clansmen were far beyond his imagination.
However, Shi Chenghong did not think too much at that time. In a family war, casualties were inevitable. As long as the innate warriors in the family were safe, it would be fine.
But when the brightest spot of light on the sacred stone disappeared, Shi Chenghong could no longer suppress the panic in his heart.
Because that light spot was not the family's innate realm warrior, but his uncle He Zhang who had just broken through to the Qi Control Realm!
He would rather believe that something had happened to the family sacred tree than to believe that his uncle He Zhang, who had just achieved a breakthrough, had died.
But even though he communicated with the family's sacred stone several times, the results he got were no different.
This sudden blow made Shi Chenghong look much older in an instant. After the last few bright spots of light on the sacred stone disappeared, Shi Chenghong stood in the ancestral hall with a dull expression on his face until dawn.
what to do?
The family had brought almost all of the family's warriors on this expedition, but almost all of them died in the Mass Burial Hill!
Such a loss almost brought the family down to dust. Even though he was the patriarch, he didn't know what to do at the moment.
"Cheng Hong, give the order sooner."
Behind him, an old and calm voice was heard. It was Shi Heli, who stayed in the tribe and did not participate in this expedition.
"Uncle, it's gone, it's all gone! Everything is gone!"
Shi Chenghong's eyes turned red as he pointed at the family's sacred stone in front of him.
Shi Heli also calmed down his emotions silently, and then loudly rebuked:
"Cheng Hong, you are the patriarch of the Shi family. The elders recommended you to lead the family to new glory. But look at you now. How can you be worthy of the responsibility of being the head of the family?"
"Yes, our family was defeated this time, but the family's sacred stone is still there, and you, the clan leader, are still here! I'm still here! There are still many clan members outside the family!"
"There is still hope for the family. It is not over yet. But how can you continue to lead the family in your current state?"
The scolding in his ear brought a hint of rationality into Shi Chenghong's confused eyes.
Yes, the family was defeated, but it was not completely defeated! There were still several elders in the family, and there were still some clan members left in other parts of the family. By gathering the remaining clan members together, the family still had a huge force, which was also the foundation of his Shi family.
(The number of Xiantian Realm warriors owned by the Shi family mentioned in the previous article has been slightly modified. Excluding the three who were killed by the Chen family before, plus the six who died this time, there are still three or four left, a total of about ten.)
After a long silence, Shi Chenghong replied in a low voice:
"Uncle, I understand."
Seeing that Shi Chenghong had regained his sanity, Shi Heli said no more and just said:
"It's estimated that the Chen family will be here soon, so make a decision as soon as possible!"
"good."
After Shi Heli left, Shi Chenghong said to the elders beside him:
"Go, let the tribesmen clean it up."
Hearing this, the elder was stunned. He certainly understood the meaning of this sentence, but he did not say much and quickly turned and left.
After issuing the order, Shi Chenghong sighed. He never thought that his family would come to this point.
You should know that among the clan members sent by the family this time, in addition to many blood coagulation realm warriors, there are also uncle He Zhang and six innate realm warriors!
No! It should be seven.
Shi Chenghong turned his head and looked at the only remaining light spot on the family's sacred stone in front of him, his face calm.
Losing is losing, he has nothing to say!
The remaining strength of the family is not enough to fight against the Chen family.
But before leaving, he wanted to find out why his family failed and where they failed!
If he can't figure this out, he won't be able to rest in peace even if he dies.
Moreover, he had already considered that even if the family was defeated, the Chen family would not come so quickly. The family still had some time, enough to find out the reasons and let the clan members clean up.
Shi Chenghong walked out of the family ancestral hall, looked at the huge Yong'an City, and let out a self-deprecating smile.
He never expected this would be the result.
…
At the mass grave, many villagers who rushed to the Chen family's site looked at the scarlet, rusty land outside the Chen family's site with terrified eyes.
They can distinguish the land where blood rice is grown from the land stained with blood.
Even though we don’t know what the battle situation was like that day, this scene is still shocking. Some villagers in the crowd were even shaking with fear.
However, looking at the Chen family ahead, which had a lot of work to do, the villagers did not hesitate, but walked towards the family with the tools they had prepared long ago.
"Chief, I'm here to help the family repair the house!"
"Chief, we brought our own food!"
Without waiting for Chen Xingzhen and others to agree, the villagers had already started working.
This brought a hint of smile to Chen Xingzhen's face. It seemed that the family's previous actions were not without reward.
Not long after many villagers arrived, Ma Heng, Mo Si and Gu Yu also came to the family.
"Patriarch Chen, I'm really sorry. I still have a wife and children at home, so I can't help the nobles too much. I can only do some hard labor."
Ma Heng clasped his hands together and said apologetically.
Before this, he even wanted to run away, but after hesitating for a while, he decided to stay in the mass grave and see what happened.
And he indeed did not expect that facing the powerful and aggressive Shi family, the final winner would be the Chen family.
"Patriarch Chen, I don't know martial arts, but I have read a lot of books on house construction recently, so I think I can help a little."
Several people spoke up, expressing their apologies for being powerless in the previous battle.
Chen Xingzhen didn't care, he just smiled and said:
"The fact that you are still able to stay in the Mass Burial Hill shows your respect for the family. When the family is repaired, you will still be the martial arts masters and teachers of our Chen family."
"Thank you, Patriarch Chen, for your understanding."
The few of them clasped their fists again and then walked forward, ready to add strength to the construction of the family.
Only Guyu looked hesitant and had an uncertain expression on his face.
