Cui Yan, who had a hopeful look on his face just now, turned pale instantly after hearing this.
He came to ask for help this time because, on the one hand, there was no other family around that was capable of taking action. The Zhao family, which had some strength, had lost two elders, and a few days ago he heard that the Chen family had destroyed the Zhao family.
Secondly, he thought that the Chen family did not know that the family had abandoned the Chen family in the last competition, so he had some hope in his heart.
But after Chen Tianjing revealed the matter, Cui Yan understood that the Chen family would definitely not take any action this time.
Without the Chen family’s help, the family had no more reinforcements, which made Cui Yan lose hope in an instant.
After being out of control for a long time, Cui Yan smiled bitterly and said:
"I'm really sorry. It was my clan that made the mistake first, but I can't blame Chief Chen for not helping."
Chen Tianjing just said:
"Family matters have nothing to do with right or wrong. Even if the Cui clan elders have good intentions, it will be of no use."
Cui Yan felt a little ashamed. Although he had some thoughts in his mind that day, he did not stand up to stop it. How could it be said that he had done it on purpose?
At this point, Cui Yan also realized that it was useless to say more, but there was still a trace of hesitation and confusion in his eyes.
After a while, Cui Yan's eyes finally became firm, and he regained the demeanor of a family elder. Then he bowed slightly:
"Please forgive me for disturbing you this time, Patriarch Chen. Our clan is in danger, and although I am powerless, I must return to the clan as soon as possible to help."
"But before I leave, I have a small request, and I hope that Patriarch Chen can agree to it. I wonder if the nobles can give me some wine?"
This time Chen Tianjing did not refuse and immediately asked his clansmen to bring two pots of aged rice wine.
After receiving the rice wine, Cui Yan bowed and thanked him:
"Thank you, Patriarch Chen. I'm sorry but I have to take my leave first."
After saying that, Cui Yan walked out of the mountain with a resolute step, leaving behind only a lonely back.
Chen Tianjing sighed a lot when he saw this. He knew that this trip would end in death, but he still did not hesitate. Perhaps this is the bond between family members.
If it were my family members, it would probably be the same.
But I hope this day will never come to this family.
After Cui Yan's figure completely disappeared, Chen Tianjing and Chen Tianyu also looked at the remaining pot of rice wine in the hands of the tribesmen, with a slightly strange look on their faces.
Anyone who cares about the family rice wine doesn't seem to have a good ending.
It seems that I have to be careful when sending rice wine to my family in the future.
Another month later, the family received news of the Cui family's demise.
In the final battle, the Sun family used all their means, even using several incarnations of the family totem, and finally succeeded in defeating the Cui family's last means of defense.
Without the protection of the totem, Sun Yuanji, the patriarch of the Sun family, was like a nobody. The elders of the Cui family were no match for him. The only one who could be called an opponent, Cui Ling, had been seriously injured before returning to the clan, and was even more powerless after losing the protection of the family totem.
Many elders of the Cui family died on the spot. Among them, Cui Yan blew himself up and died together with an elder of the Sun family. The battle that day was quite tragic, and the Sun family also suffered heavy losses.
But despite this, it still failed to save the Cui family from being exterminated.
From then on, the Qinghe Cui family became history.
Although he had expected this, Chen Tianjing still felt a lot when he learned that the Cui family was truly destroyed.
Even a medium-sized family that has been developing for a long time cannot escape the fate of being wiped out. How strong does the family need to be to avoid it?
A superior family? A top family? Or a thousand-year-old family?
Chen Tianjing was stunned but his eyes became firm again. Unlike other families, his Chen family had more possibilities and might be able to fight a way out of the current situation.
Although he was full of confidence, with the demise of the Cui family, Chen Tianjing quickly withdrew many of the clansmen who were outside, leaving only a few clansmen whose identities were secret and who had important tasks.
Without the Cui family, the Sun family will no longer have any constraints. After the Sun family has caught their breath for a while, the next target will definitely be the clan.
Although the family's strength has increased, it does not feel that it can surpass the stronger Cui family. The Sun family does not even need to make a full effort. Sun Yuanji alone is enough to make it difficult for the family to deal with.
Although the family has the support of the sacred tree and is capable of fighting, if a war really breaks out, there will be too many uncertainties.
This is uncertain. It could be the Fang family of Xiangshui, the Gongyang family of Yelang County, or any other family.
This battle should be avoided if possible.
But how can the family avoid this war?
Chen Tianjing frowned and thought deeply.
A few days later, many tribesmen had returned home, but Chen Qingyu, in soul form, was still outside.
The last time Chen Qingyu rode on a blue wolf and traveled with Chen Tianyu and others, after stopping Sun Chengshan, he did not choose to return to his tribe, but went to the Cui family's place in Qinghe. The family was able to receive timely news, which was also secretly transmitted by Chen Qingyu.
According to the news sent back by Chen Qingyu, Chen Qingyu is probably lurking in the Sun family's territory at this moment, observing the Sun family's movements at all times.
Chen Tianjing was not too worried about this. In his soul state, Chen Qingyu would be safe even when facing warriors of the same level. The only one he needed to be cautious about was Sun Yuanji, who was at the fourth level of the Sun family's Qi Control Realm, and the Sun family's incense totem.
The latter is more dangerous than the former, so Chen Tianjing also issued an order, asking Chen Qingyu to be careful and not get too close.
As for the other souls, they were also recalled one by one by Chen Tianjing.
If a battle with the Sun family is unavoidable, the family must go all out.
In the following days, the Sun family also took many actions, such as changing the name of Le'an City, where the family is located, to Le'an County, and incorporating many territories of the Cui family into the family. Some small families that originally belonged to the Cui family also replaced them with new tribute families.
Even Yunmeng City, the Sun family sent people to take over, and the family that took over Yunmeng City happened to be the Yu Ning Fei family!
After the family learned the news, they did not stop it.
Judging from the Sun family's current actions, it will probably take some time to deal with the follow-up issues of destroying the Cui family. They probably won't take action against the family for the time being, but it won't be too late either.
Nightfall.
In the family ancestral hall, Chen Tianjing frowned and looked at the towering family sacred tree in front of him with a lifeless look.
Under the night sky, the locust leaves on the sacred tree sparkled with a dim and deep light. Occasionally, a few rays of moonlight shone through the gaps between the locust leaves onto the ground of the ancestral hall, adding a touch of softness to the gloomy ancestral hall.
However, even in such a quiet and cold environment, Chen Tianjing still couldn't calm down.
As time passed, Chen Tianjing became more distressed. How could he avoid this war?
Just when Chen Tianjing was in distress, a sensation suddenly came to his mind.
Chen Tianjing's eyes suddenly lit up when he sensed the information in his mind.
Maybe he could do that?
