Before, he thought he was a late bloomer and had achieved success in old age.
This made him very excited, and since he only had his wife at home, he thought about coming to help the Chen family.
But I didn't expect that I would sprain my waist halfway through the journey, and in the end it was my wife who helped me back.
But I am well-known for my bravery in the Chen family. Many members of the family have seen it. If I come here now, will the Chen family members think that I don’t want to help the Chen family and retreat at the last minute?
Seeing Guyu's hesitation, Chen Xingzhen couldn't help but ask:
"Does Mr. Gu have anything to say?"
"Ah, it's really hard to describe my body!"
After a short silence, Guyu sighed and said.
Sensing the blood and qi in Guyu's body that had long since aged, Chen Xingzhen was somewhat puzzled, but he just smiled and said:
"Mr. Gu, don't worry about it. It's all over. The family still needs your guidance!"
…
"Chief! Chief! Good news!"
After dealing with many matters, Chen Xingzhen was about to go to the ancestral hall that had just been cleaned up to pray when he heard Chen Tianleng's call.
Chen Xingzhen was delighted after hearing this. Could it be that the sacred tree had awakened?
However, seeing that Chen Tianling had returned from outside the family, it was obviously not this news.
Chen Tianling stepped forward quickly and said:
"Patriarch, news came from Yong'an City that the Xie family has disappeared, and many of the Shi family's shops are closed. They also seem to be packing up and preparing to evacuate Yong'an City."
Chen Xingzhen was stunned after hearing this. He was not surprised by the Shi family’s withdrawal.
But the disappearance of the Xie family surprised him, and he immediately asked Chen Tianleng to tell him the news in detail.
After listening to Chen Tianling's story, Chen Xingzhen was still puzzled. After all, if the Xie family remained in Yong'an City in this war, they would definitely be the biggest winner, and might even become the only family in Yong'an City.
But now the Xie family has disappeared, and even all the family belongings have been moved out. It is obvious that the entire family has moved away.
The reason why the Xie family could evacuate Yong'an City, where they had developed for a long time, must be that the family was about to suffer a devastating disaster, just like when the family moved before.
Chen Xingzhen doesn’t know the reason yet, but the disappearance of the Xie family is indeed good news for the family.
On the side, Chen Tianjing and others who had rushed over after hearing the news also showed a bit more joy on their faces.
"Clan leader, since the Shi family is the only one left in Yong'an City, I think the clan should act quickly to eliminate the remaining members of the Shi family and avoid future troubles."
After hearing this, Chen Xingzhen shook his head again:
"Although the Shi family was defeated, they still have some strength left. Now there are not many warriors left in the family, and the sacred tree has fallen into a deep sleep. Without the power of the sacred tree, continuing to fight will only make the family lose more than it gains."
"Patriarch, are we just going to watch the Shi family leave peacefully?"
Chen Tianjing frowned.
Although the family won the war, because Yong'an City was too far away from the Mass Burial Hill, the family not only won a tragic victory, but also did not gain anything from the war. In the end, it even suffered a huge loss.
If we rush to Yong'an City now, we may be able to stop the Shi family. After developing in Yong'an City for such a long time, the Shi family must have a lot of good things in their hands. If we can get them back, it can also make up for some of the family's losses after this war!
"Of course not!"
Chen Xingzhen said with deep eyes, and then he said:
"Tian Jing, you and Qing Yu, take the remaining blood coagulation warriors in the clan, ride on the family blue wolves, and set off for Yong'an City now."
"But this trip is not for you to intercept the Shi family, but to take over Yong'an City!"
"Although our family won this battle, the Shi family still has some warriors left. If the family stays indoors, the Shi family will inevitably see our current weakness. If we take advantage of the situation and attack now, even if the Shi family still has some strength left, they will definitely not dare to fight. If we go there early, it will also make the Shi family feel anxious."
"I understand, I'll go now!"
After Chen Tianjing left, Chen Xingzhen looked into the distance.
If the Xie family had not disappeared, he would definitely not have made this decision. Instead, he would have chosen to continue lurking in the Mass Burial Hill, waiting for the sacred tree to awaken, and then take his time to act.
With the shock of this battle, even the Xie family would not dare to attack the family easily. The time in between is a chance for the family to recuperate.
After the sacred tree wakes up, it will not be too late for the family to march into Yong'an City.
But the situation is very different now, and the family does not need to wait any longer.
Stop in Yong'an City, right now!
Although the family seemed to have gained nothing from this battle, and even lost a lot, it eliminated the biggest threat to the family. If they could occupy Yong'an City, the family would have a promising future! This was the biggest gain!
Relying solely on a mass grave is still not enough.
Perhaps, this is the instruction given by the sacred tree?
Thinking back to the locust branch that fell when the sacred tree was sleeping, Chen Xingzhen thought silently in his heart.
…
"Chief, Po Jing is back!"
In Yong'an City, in the Shi family hall, many clansmen gathered together.
However, the hall was much emptier at this time. Even the elders were only two or three people. They looked lonely and desolate, far from the prosperity of the family before.
Above, Shi Chenghong was sitting quietly in the main seat, constantly stroking the armrest that had already become smooth, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After hearing the report from his clansmen, Shi Chenghong also focused his gaze and looked towards the bottom of the hall.
"Woo woo woo, clan leader!"
The person has not arrived yet, but the crying has already arrived.
A sad and desolate figure soon appeared in front of them, then he knelt on the ground and began to cry bitterly.
This was none other than Shi Pojing, who had returned all the way from the Mass Burial Mountain. He was also the only remaining member of the family that had gone on the expedition.
During the previous battle, he stayed outside the clan, ready to deal with the Chen family members who wanted to escape, but after waiting for a long time, no figure appeared.
Thinking that it would be difficult to report to the past after returning to the tribe, Shi Pojing decided to join the war and make some military achievements.
As luck would have it, the Chen family's sacred tree started to take action at that time, and even Uncle He Zhang was like a toy under the locust tree and was no match for it at all.
Seeing that the situation was not right, he retreated to the back and thought about observing the situation first.
When he looked down, he saw that Uncle He Zhang was defeated and fled. Shi Po, who had been prepared, ran even faster. When the tribesmen behind him were stopped by the roots of the sacred tree, he had already retreated into the forest and watched from afar.
The moment he witnessed the death of his uncle He Zhang, he knew that the family was doomed, and he rushed back to Yong'an City without stopping.
"Okay, tell me the whole story of what happened that day."
Shi Chenghong said in a cold voice. Shi Heli and the other two beside him also listened attentively. They also wanted to know how the Chen family worshipped their family.
"Chief, that day I arrived at the mass grave mountain with several uncles..."
