"Today, there were about four or five people. They sneaked into the Mass Burial Mountain through a caravan from Yong'an City. These five people were very secretive and kept hiding their whereabouts along the way. According to the leader of the caravan, they left in a hurry after entering the Mass Burial Mountain. According to his perception, these five people are all warriors with strong strength."
"After receiving this news, I came to report it immediately."
After listening to Chen Xuanshe's story, Chen Tianjing nodded:
"Okay, I understand."
"Tian Mo, take your tribesmen to investigate immediately. Once you find the person, do not act rashly. Wait for my order."
"Yes, Patriarch."
…
In an abandoned village in the mass grave mountain, several figures were hiding there. Their clothes were disheveled, their faces were covered, and there was only a hint of panic and uneasiness in their eyes.
"Brother, is this really possible?"
One of them looked around cautiously, and couldn't help but look at the young man in the middle and spoke. The others also looked over, as if the man in the middle was their backbone.
Seeing the gazes of several people, the young man sighed and said:
"I'm not sure if it will work, but we don't have a choice now, do we?"
After saying this, the mask on the young man's face disappeared, revealing a very familiar face.
If Chen Tianjing was here, he would definitely recognize that this person was Zhou Honglang, a member of the Zhou family who had visited the family several times before.
But Zhou Honglang no longer has the same temperament as before. His face looks haggard, with bloodshot eyes. One can tell at a glance that he has been running around for a long time.
The others also looked sad when they heard this. Seeing that they were in a low mood, Zhou Honglang spoke to comfort them:
"In fact, it's not completely hopeless. After all, our family has done several deals with the Chen family. Perhaps for the sake of my uncle, the Chen family won't do anything to us."
When he spoke later, Zhou Huaian's voice became much lower and there was no confidence on his face.
In fact, they had tried this before, such as seeking help from other small families that were originally dependent on the family, even if it was just to let them hide for a while.
But the final result made them feel cold in their hearts.
If they weren't lucky enough, they wouldn't even be able to come to the mass grave.
This is the case for all other families that have received favors, not to mention the Chen family, which has only done a few transactions with the family. Although it is called a transaction, in fact it is just a unilateral demand using the family's power.
Even though my uncle seemed to have a good relationship with the head of the Chen family at first, things became cold after he left.
In this situation, he really didn't have much confidence.
But now, they have no other choice.
When everyone was confused, a tribesman stood up and said with a resolute face:
"Brother, we are not in despair yet. The world is so big, I don't believe there is no place for us. As for the Chen family, I don't think we can have much hope."
"Let me test it this time. If I can't come out safely by then, you brothers should leave this mass grave as soon as possible, so that you can preserve the last trace of blood for the family."
Hearing this, Zhou Honglang and several others sighed.
But this is the best way now. Let only one person go to test it, and the others wait for news.
If several of them came openly to beg for shelter, they would probably end up being wiped out.
"I'll go!"
"I came to the Chen family several times when the deal was made, and I also met the Chen clan leader several times. If I go, the situation should be better."
After thinking for a while, Zhou Honglang spoke.
But he was immediately dissuaded by several other people:
"Brother, you absolutely cannot do that. It is best for me to go!"
"Brother, you are responsible for the restoration of the family. You cannot take such a risk."
Zhou Honglang smiled bitterly:
"The family is in such a state. How can I shoulder the responsibility of reviving the family? Perhaps you and I are the last hope of the family."
"You are still young and have greater hope, so I should go."
"Well, we don't have much time left. After I leave, you can hide somewhere else."
Zhou Honglang was firm in his attitude and did not give the others a chance to refuse. He immediately prepared to walk out of the village.
Several tribesmen behind him had tears in their eyes and wanted to persuade him, but they didn't know how to start.
Just when they were feeling sad and grief-stricken, a faint voice suddenly came to their ears:
"Everyone, my family leader wants to see you."
The few people didn't care about being sad, their expressions suddenly stiffened, and they took a defensive stance, while looking around. However, the few people who saw the situation clearly felt a chill in their hearts.
Just when a few people were talking, they were surrounded by many Chen family warriors, some of whom were even at the innate level!
Although this was not much different from their realm, the few of them were unable to exert their full strength, so much so that they did not even notice that the Chen family warriors had surrounded them.
Zhou Honglang's heart also turned cold at this moment, and his face became even uglier.
Unexpectedly, their plan had not yet been implemented, and their whereabouts had been discovered by the Chen family.
"Mr. Zhou, how are you?"
Chen Tianyu asked with a smile. He had met Zhou Honglang several times, so he was naturally familiar with him. However, after learning that the people who came in were from the Zhou family, Chen Tianyu felt a little complicated.
Zhou Honglang glanced at Chen Tianyu, then he slowly bowed and replied:
"Thank you for your concern, Elder Chen. Everything is fine."
After seeing so many Chen family warriors around, Zhou Honglang knew that they had no chance to try and make mistakes.
Since the outcome is already determined, he will not let outsiders look down on the Zhou family. Even if he dies, he must show the composure that a member of the Zhou family should have.
However, Zhou Honglang was still quite shocked at this moment. The person in front of him was only in the Blood Coagulation Realm a few years ago, but now his realm has surpassed him in the Innate Realm.
"My family leader has been waiting for a long time. Please come in."
Chen Tianyu smiled and gestured.
"Okay, I haven't seen the noble chief for a long time. My fellow brothers, let's go."
Zhou Honglang also smiled faintly and greeted several tribesmen behind him.
Several people also understood that they no longer had the possibility of refusing, so they stopped hesitating and followed behind.
After seeing this, Chen Tianyu's eyes showed a hint of admiration. He was indeed a member of the Zhou family. In such a situation, he could still be so calm. He indeed had a demeanor that people from ordinary families did not have.
Soon, the group entered the family.
Although Zhou Honglang looked calm on the surface, he was still nervous in his heart.
Even though they knew the ending would be tragic, everyone still had a desire to survive, and Zhou Honglang was no exception.
