In the dark night, Li Cailiang smiled bitterly:
"It seems you have figured it out."
"Now, most of the resources in the Mass Burial Hill are occupied by the Chen family. In addition, the Chen family also has the help of the so-called sacred tree. If nothing unexpected happens, in a few decades, the Chen family will become even stronger, even far beyond its current size."
"If this continues, how can my Li family compete with it?"
Li Yongcheng became increasingly silent.
Indeed, with the previous family strength, it was defeated by the Chen family. Even if he started a new family and redeveloped the family, could he compare with the Chen family that owned the sacred tree?
In the long run, the gap between the two families will only get bigger.
"Why was the Chen family able to survive and turn defeat into victory? I guess it was probably because of the sacred tree."
"During the previous war, I had seen the appearance of the sacred tree, which was planted in the Chen family ancestral hall. Now that I have discovered this secret passage, I think it is God's help to my Li family."
"This secret passage is likely to lead to the Chen family ancestral hall. I can use the cover of night to go straight into the ancestral hall and destroy the sacred tree!"
"Without the sacred tree, with your ability, you can definitely make the family prosperous again. It is only a matter of time before you surpass the Chen family."
Upon hearing the plan proposed by Li Cailiang, Li Yongcheng immediately objected:
"No, Uncle Wu, this is too risky."
Li Cailiang shook his head:
"I am old now, and the late stage of blood coagulation is my limit. It will be difficult for me to advance to the innate realm in this lifetime. Even if I leave the Burial Mountain, I will not be of much help to the family."
"Since you have decided to change the route, with your ability, you are more than enough to lead the tribe away from the mass grave mountain safely."
"How can we give up such a good opportunity?"
"Besides, the Chen family is now in a state of disrepair, and there may not be many people guarding the ancestral hall. With my strength in the late stage of the Blood Coagulation Realm, it is completely sufficient. Perhaps I can destroy the sacred tree and then leave through the secret passage. Then I will follow the route."
After saying this, a hint of confidence appeared in Li Cailiang's eyes.
This also made Li Yongcheng swallow his words of persuasion.
The family had suffered a great defeat before, and he analyzed the reasons after the war.
The most important reason for this was that those members of the Chen family who had been severely injured by their fellow clansmen had recovered from their injuries within just a few days.
Coupled with the strange locust leaves, this led to the family's final failure.
These two reasons are obviously related to the extra sacred tree of the Chen family.
If things really go as Li Cailiang planned, it would indeed be a good thing for the family.
It can not only curb the development of the Chen family, but also avenge the previous feud.
But he was worried that his fifth uncle would never come back this time.
But he also understood that this seemed to be the only thing the family could do at the moment, and if successful it would be of great benefit to the family's future revenge.
Reason and sensibility collide.
After a moment, Li Yongcheng looked calm:
"Uncle Wu, let's discuss the details."
"good!"
…
In the ancestral hall, Ji Yang was silently absorbing the moonlight and yin energy.
Today is the fifth day of the growth of these ginkgo nuts. The originally fist-sized ginkgo nuts have not changed significantly in size, but their color has gradually changed from white to gray, and the faces on the fruits have become clearer and more vivid.
Just as Ji Yang was concentrating on absorbing the moonlight, there was a sudden sound of something falling in the ancestral hall.
“Ding!”
The sound of someone climbing over the wall and landing on the ground made Ji Yang's heart skip a beat.
Normally, all the tribesmen would go through the main gate. The one who climbed over the wall was definitely not a good person, just like Chen Qinghe and Chen Qingmeng who came to secretly hack him in the middle of the night.
I thought that the two of them had made a comeback, but when Ji Yang looked over, he only saw one figure.
The figure seemed familiar, and the footsteps were so light that Ji Yang's roots buried underground did not notice it at first.
At this moment, this figure was slowly approaching Ji Yang.
But Ji Yang didn't react much, just had some doubts.
The person who came was none other than Chen Qingyu.
If it was before, he would definitely be extremely worried. After all, Chen Qingyu's realm was not low, and he was disrespectful to his sacred tree. He was really worried that Chen Qingyu would act impulsively.
But now, he is not worried.
As a genius of the younger generation of the family, Chen Qingyu originally just wanted to wake the patriarch from his obsession with the sacred tree and save the family.
After using his magical powers and displaying his power to rescue the Chen family, although Chen Qingyu still seemed a little rebellious, he no longer had the same original intentions in his heart.
And in the previous hunts, he was also diligent and responsible.
Under such circumstances, Ji Yang naturally didn't have to worry about Chen Qingyu doing anything out of line, but he was still a little confused about why Chen Qingyu came here at this time.
Chen Qingyu approached slowly and stopped two meters below the sacred tree.
His eyes swept across the branches of Ji Yang's tree one by one, and finally stopped on a ginkgo fruit.
Following Chen Qingyu's gaze, Ji Yang also looked towards the ginkgo fruit.
Without looking closely, Ji Yang already knew the reason, because the face on the ginkgo was 70% similar to Chen Qingyu.
It turned out that the person hanging on the tree was his father.
Ji Yang glanced at the memorial tablet in the ancestral hall and found the name of Chen Qingyu's father, Chen Tianshun, on it.
He is of the Tian generation, and is of the same generation as Chen Tianyu and Chen Tianjing in the current family. Judging from Chen Qingyu's age, Chen Tianshun should be the oldest of his generation, but logically speaking, he is only in his forties or fifties now. No one knows why he died so early.
Ji Yang ignored it and continued to absorb the moonlight.
Chen Qingyu, who was standing under the tree, did not cry as sadly as the other tribesmen. He just stood quietly under the moonlight, looking at the familiar face above. Many memories came to his mind at this moment.
A long time passed like this, and Chen Qingyu didn't move at all.
It was not until the sound of slow footsteps was heard outside the ancestral hall that Chen Qingyu came to his senses, and then he quickly climbed over the wall and left the ancestral hall.
But just as he was climbing over the wall, his body suddenly froze and he almost fell off the wall.
However, relying on the late stage of blood coagulation realm, Chen Qingyu exerted strength with both hands and finally left safely.
“Crunch.”
The door of the ancestral hall slowly opened.
Ji Yang knew who the person was without even looking.
After all, apart from the clan leader Chen Xingzhen, few other people came here in the middle of the night.
After entering the ancestral hall, Chen Xingzhen did not rush towards Ji Yang, but first took a look at the wall next to him.
Although he is a little older, he is still a warrior in the late stage of Blood Coagulation Realm. How could the movement in the ancestral hall just now be hidden from him?
Chen Xingzhen had already guessed who was coming, but he was not prepared to expose it. He just shook his head and sighed, then approached the sacred tree with a respectful look on his face.
Even though he had seen it for a long time before, his mood became complicated when he saw the ginkgo nuts on the tree again.
But he did not forget the purpose of his visit.
Ji Yang knew his purpose, but he didn't know how to communicate with the clan leader Chen Xingzhen.
But it doesn't matter.
