The rain gradually subsided and the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate.
The lightning that was originally attracted seemed to have lost its strength, and disappeared quietly after striking the last thread-like lightning.
However, there were some changes on the locust tree at this moment. Arcs of electricity flashed among the dense locust leaves, and even the air above was mixed with countless strands of lightning.
But as the locust tree shook slightly, all the lightning that had just dissipated outside the trunk of the locust tree quickly gathered above the locust tree.
When everything was quiet, three silver locust leaves quietly hid under the other locust leaves.
These three silver locust leaves contain all the lightning power that Ji Yang absorbed this time.
If it weren't for Sun Yuanji's arrival that caused a lot of lightning power to not be absorbed, there should be more than three locust leaves.
However, this is likely to be more than one thunderstorm, and Sun Yuanji is unlucky to come here at this time!
Otherwise, if the family encounters such a martial artist at the third level of the Qi Control Realm under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to cope with it.
In the ancestral hall, many tribesmen discovered the three unique silver locust leaves when they were praying to the sacred tree. Adjacent to these three silver locust leaves was the golden incense locust leaf.
From a distance, the scenery is quite unique.
After seeing these three special locust leaves, Chen Changming and several other tribesmen felt much clearer in their minds.
However, in their opinion, new changes in the sacred tree often mean that the sacred tree has become stronger.
If the sacred tree is strong, the family will be strong.
…
"Chief, Chief, things have changed!"
In the main hall of the Cui family, Cui Tingyan, who was sitting on a chair, looked at the clansmen who hurried in and frowned slightly and said:
"Cui Yan, elder, why are you so flustered?"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Cui Tingyan's words. As the elder of the family, he should set an example and remain calm in the face of emergencies. If the family members saw him in such a hurry, it would be inevitable that he would lose his composure.
But Cui Yan did not understand what Cui Tingyan meant, and hurriedly said:
"Clan leader, I just received news that the elder Sun Yuanji of the Sun family is suspected to be seriously injured and is now rushing back to the family!"
"Um?"
Cui Tingyan, who had a calm expression just now, stood up straight in an instant:
"Is the news true?"
"Head of the Hui tribe, this news was brought back by the elder Cui He. According to him, Sun Yuanji bought some healing herbs at a market on his way back to the tribe."
Cui Tingyan's expression changed. Cui He, the clan elder, was in charge of the family's external intelligence and had the strength of the outer Gang realm. So it seemed that the news should be correct!
"Where is Elder Cui He now?"
"Reporting to the clan leader, after noticing Sun Yuanji's whereabouts, the clan elder Cui He has been secretly following him and is waiting for the clan's orders at any time!"
After Cui Yan finished speaking, he looked at Cui Tingyan expectantly.
The family suffered heavy losses in the last incident at Tongqiu Mountain, not only losing an elder in the clan who was at the Qi Controlling Realm, but also completely broke off relations with the Sun Family.
Now, everyone in the clan is ready to vent their anger, and they are always paying attention to the movements of the Sun family.
The opportunity before us is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If Sun Yuanji, the core pillar of the Sun family, could be eliminated, the family would not only be able to avenge their family feud, but might also be able to gain more benefits.
But after the excitement, Cui Tingyan did not rush to give orders, but fell into deep thought.
After a moment of silence, Cui Tingyan said:
"Let the elder Cui He withdraw."
Cui Yan was stunned and asked immediately:
"Patriarch, why is this happening? Wouldn't it be a pity to miss such a great opportunity?"
Cui Tingyan sighed:
"Of course I know this is a good opportunity, but it is not easy to kill a warrior at the Three Flowers Gathering Summit. Even if Sun Yuanji is injured, if all the family elders go out, the Sun family will definitely get the news, and they may even join forces with the Fang family to deal with my Cui family, which is quite disadvantageous to the family."
"It is not the time for our family to start a large-scale war with the Sun family. Unless our family can handle the Sun and Fang families on its own, it is not advisable to take action."
After hearing the clan leader's explanation, Cui Yan quickly calmed down.
High-level warriors are indeed difficult to kill. The key is that the family elders are not there. If they cannot be killed with one blow, the situation afterwards will indeed be unfavorable to the family.
Just watching the opportunity slip away, Cui Yan still felt a little regretful.
However, as a family elder, the interests of the family should be the first priority. Cui Yan nodded quickly:
"Chief, I understand. I will pass the message to Elder Cui He right away."
"Um."
Cui Tingyan nodded and said again:
"Also, immediately find out why Sun Yuanji was injured."
"There is no room for error in this matter. You should go there in person."
"Yes, Patriarch, I'll do it right away."
Cui Yan's eyes moved slightly. He was also very curious about this. This time, Sun Yuanji went to cause trouble for the Chen family, but ended up returning seriously injured.
If nothing unexpected happens, this matter should be done by the Chen family.
But with the strength of the Chen family, how could they seriously injure Sun Yuanji, a warrior who was at the Three Flowers Gathering Top Realm?
Of course, it is not ruled out that some powerful people who did not belong to a certain family passed by and had a conflict with Sun Yuanji.
However, the probability of this happening is too small. Even a high-level warrior who is alone will not rashly offend a family.
As for the specific situation, he still needs to check it out personally.
…
"Clan leader, how is Uncle Yuanji?"
A few days later, in the Sun family’s territory, several family elders were gathered outside the secret room.
As the clan leader, Sun Simiao slowly walked out of the secret room and was soon greeted with anxious inquiries from many clan elders.
In the family, Sun Yuanji is the strongest man in the family and the pillar of the family.
On a personal level, Sun Yuanji is also the elder of all the clan elders.
This time, Uncle Yuanji returned seriously injured, which caused the elders of the family to be very worried.
Sun Simiao's expression was slightly tense, but seeing the inquiring looks from many tribesmen, he still smiled and replied:
"Uncle Yuanji is fine, he just needs to rest for a while!"
Hearing this, the elders present breathed a sigh of relief and murmured:
"I'm glad that Uncle Yuanji is okay."
"yes."
But after being relieved, many elders quickly became serious:
"Clan leader, Uncle Yuanji has reached the state of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head. He has no rivals within a hundred miles. Even Cui Zeyu from the Cui family or Fang Tianyun from the Fang family are no match for Uncle Yuanji. Who exactly injured Uncle Yuanji this time?"
The other elders nodded in unison upon hearing this.
When one reaches Uncle Yuanji's level, even if one is defeated, one can easily escape from a warrior of the same level and will not get hurt, unless a warrior of a higher level takes action.
However, the upper-class families nearby had no reason to attack the elders of the Yuanji clan, because if they really wanted to take action, they would definitely lead the family army and attack directly towards where the family was.
