"Forget it, Qing Meng, you should just focus on practicing martial arts."
Chen Tianyu gave these instructions in a serious tone.
Anyway, the family is now wealthy and powerful, and they don't need one or two people to do things. Besides, with the family sacred tree, he probably won't die.
"Yes, Father, I know."
Chen Qingmeng nodded seriously, obviously not hearing the hidden meaning of Chen Tianyu's words.
…
While the family was preparing for war seriously, the news of the Sun family's deployment spread like wildfire among the various clans.
In the Tao family hall, Tao Lewu, who had just escaped a disaster, immediately summoned all the elders of the clan to discuss the matter together after hearing the news.
At this moment, Tao Lewu looked thoughtful. After seeing all the family elders gathered, he slowly asked:
"According to the opinions of the elders, the Chen family is in trouble now. Should the clan help the Chen family and tide over this difficulty together?"
After hearing this, all the elders present fell silent and the hall was completely silent.
Soon, an elder stood up and said:
"Clan leader, the Sun family is too powerful for the Chen family to resist. If the family chooses to help the Chen family at this moment, there may be disaster for the extinction of the clan afterwards!"
After hearing this, the other elders present also nodded in approval.
The scale of the Sun family's mobilization this time is obviously aimed at wiping out the Chen family. It is not a wise move for the family to get involved now.
At this time, Tao Lezhi also stood up and said righteously:
"Patriarch, if it weren't for the Chen family's help, our family would have been wiped out long ago."
"Although my Tao family is just a small and unknown family, we know how to repay kindness. Now that the Chen family is in danger, although my family is weak, how can we just sit there and watch? Moreover, my family has also received a lot of benefits from the Chen family in recent years. It is reasonable for my family to help the Chen family this time."
Tao Lezhi's words made Tao Lewu above smile a little, and he stood up immediately:
"What the elder Le Zhi said is correct. Although our Tao family is a small family, we must not forget the family motto. The Chen family is in trouble this time, and the family should do everything it can to help the Chen family overcome this difficulty!"
The other elders beside him had complicated expressions after hearing this, but they couldn't help but stand up and said again:
"Clan leader, it is true that the Chen family has done a favor to our clan, but the Sun family has long been a well-known middle-class family. There are many warriors in the clan who have reached the Qi Control Realm. In recent years, a warrior who has reached the fourth level of the Qi Control Realm has appeared. On the other hand, although the Chen family is quite powerful, there is still a big gap compared to the Sun family."
"Not only will the family's assistance this time not help the Chen family, it may even lead to the extinction of the family. Please think twice about this, clan leader!"
"What the Lesheng clan elder said is absolutely right. We can think of other ways to repay the Chen family's kindness, but if we help them this time, our clan will no longer exist. Clan leader, please think twice!"
Many elders below began to persuade him, with worry written all over their faces.
After hearing the advice of many elders, Tao Lewu frowned and couldn't make up his mind for a while!
At this time, Tao Lezhi stood up again and said to the elders standing beside him:
"My fellow elders, I think that the Chen family may not be destroyed in this battle! In fact, there may be many variables in this battle!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the elders present immediately looked at him in surprise, and even Tao Lewu had a look of surprise on his face.
Under the gazes of the elders, Tao Lezhi continued:
"Think carefully, elders. The two people from the Chen family who came to help our family this time were not the elders of the Chen family that the family was familiar with, but two young members of the Chen family. Moreover, you should know that this time, in addition to coming to help our family, the Chen family also sent members to help the Shi family. There were even members of the Chen family who went to Yunmeng City. This shows that the Chen family must have a lot of Qi Controlling Realm warriors now, and the family's strength may even be far beyond the family's imagination."
"Besides, since the Chen family dared to attack the Fei family, they must have considered the Sun family behind the Fei family. Otherwise, why would they act rashly?"
“So the help from the family this time may not seem to have much effect, but if we are lucky enough, perhaps this will be a chance for our family to take off!”
As Tao Lezhi finished his speech, all the elders present fell into deep thought.
But some elders disagreed and said:
"The risk is too great. The Sun family is extremely powerful this time, and there are even several elders in the Controlling Qi Realm. Even if the Chen family has hidden strength, the chances of winning are not great. If the two families are deadlocked, the family is likely to be retaliated by the Sun family. If all the family members die, what is the point of having more opportunities for the family?"
The elders on the side all nodded after hearing this. Only those who can survive have a chance. If the whole family is wiped out, then no matter how many chances there are, it will be useless, unless the Chen family wins a great victory in this battle, which is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
The elders present did not think that such a situation would occur. Even Tao Lezhi, who had some confidence in the Chen family, thought that this idea was too crazy.
Seeing the tense situation in the hall, Tao Lewu seemed to have made some kind of decision and spoke again:
"What the elders said makes sense, but whether it's to repay a favor or for an opportunity, the Chen family must participate in this battle."
"However, considering the safety of our family, we should compromise. I, the clan leader, will lead the elite of our clan to help the Chen family in this battle!"
"At the same time, leave two elders in the clan to stabilize the clan, and be ready to move the clan members to the clan land at any time. In this way, even if the Chen family is defeated and we die, the family will still have a glimmer of hope!"
"What do you think, elders?"
Listening to Tao Lewu's firm words, the elders present also understood the patriarch's thoughts, and immediately stopped talking about the matter, but still advised:
"Chief, since you must go, why don't you let me and other elders go first? Chief, you still need to guard the family."
"That's right, we will go on this trip!"
Although many elders thought this battle was a life-and-death struggle, they still spoke without flinching.
"No, I have made up my mind. If we die, Le Zhi will be the patriarch of the family."
Seeing the patriarch's firm words, the elders present stopped trying to persuade him and instead started talking about the family's funeral affairs.
After some discussion, Tao Lewu also led a group of elite family members and headed towards the mass grave mountain.
On the other side, in the main hall of the Shi family, where the matter was being discussed, news was received that the head of the Tao family was taking his clansmen to the mass grave mountain.
"The Tao family has gone crazy!"
An elder from the tribe below couldn't help but speak after hearing this.
Even the head of the Shi family above had a frown on his face.
He didn't expect that the neighboring Tao family would be so irrational. Even if the Chen family had done a great favor to his family, under the current circumstances, he couldn't repay even the greatest favor. After all, once he went, it would mean the second extinction of the family.
