"Chief, should we send someone from our clan over there as well?"
An elder of the tribe slowly stood up and asked.
Shi Yuqiu shook his head slightly:
"Going to help the Chen family now is tantamount to self-destruction, but the Chen family has saved our family. Even if the family does not send anyone to help this time, it still needs to take some action."
"How about this, you secretly send your clan members to deliver a batch of healing resources to the Chen family, as a way of repaying the Chen family's kindness in saving you this time. As for other things, the family really can't do anything. But remember, this matter must be done in secret, and no news must be leaked. Otherwise, once the Sun family knows about this, the family will also be in great danger."
Below, an elder of the tribe asked doubtfully:
"Clan leader, the Sun family is determined to win this battle, and the Chen family will probably cease to exist. If this is the case, why should the family waste these resources?"
Shi Yuqiu sighed:
"No matter what, the Chen family has done a favor to our family. Let's just say they lost a batch of resources. We can just think of it as exchanging these resources for the safety of our family."
After hearing this, the elders present stopped talking.
In addition to the Tao and Shi families, other families who received the news also took corresponding actions. However, other families neither sent clansmen to help nor sent resources secretly. Instead, they quickly recalled outside clansmen to prepare for the upcoming changes.
Some families have even been secretly preparing the corresponding resources.
After all, if the Chen family is destroyed in this battle, the Sun family will inevitably take over the Chen family's territory, and then the family to which they provide resources may need to change.
Although such a change would be very disadvantageous to the family and would even cause the family to provide twice as many resources a year, they had no choice. After all, the Sun family was a big family that they could not afford to offend.
"Patriarch, does the family need to do something?"
In the Lai family's land, an elder on the side asked the patriarch who was still watering the flowers in front.
Lai Peixuan smiled faintly:
"You don't need to do anything, just wait quietly."
The elder beside him was surprised and said:
"Chief, have you already prayed to the totem?"
Lai Peixuan nodded slightly:
"Um."
The elders who received a positive answer were no longer worried. The family totem's ability to bring good fortune and avoid misfortune was the key to the family's development along the way. Now that the family totem had given some indications, there would definitely be no problem.
It’s just a pity that the blood bodhi that the family offered last time did not bring much benefit to the family.
After the elders left, Lai Peixuan finished watering the flowers in front of him.
Before praying to the family totem, he was still a little nervous and vaguely expectant. After all, the family had been watching the Chen family's journey, and perhaps there would be some changes.
However, the result of praying did not surprise Lai Peixuan.
But after the demise of the Chen family, he needed to pray to the family totem once more to see what the family would do next.
As for now, it is better to just quietly observe the battle between the two clans and see how long the Chen family can hold out in this battle.
…
Two days later.
"Chief, the head of the Tao family has brought the elite members of the family to the outside of the white fog, saying that he has come to help the family."
In the lobby, Chen Tianjing looked surprised after hearing the news:
"How many people from the Tao family came? What realm are they in?"
"To the clan leader, including the elders of the Tao family, the Tao family has sent more than 20 people this time, including the clan leader of the Tao family, there are five Xiantian realm warriors, and most of the rest are warriors above the middle stage of the blood coagulation realm."
After learning the specific information, Chen Tianjing narrowed his eyes slightly. Although the strength of the Tao family was dispensable to the family, they were probably the elite of the Tao family. They were able to come to help the family in such a situation, which was a kind gesture and not in vain for the family's previous efforts.
"What about other families? Are there any moves?"
"To the clan leader, in addition to the Tao family, the Shi family also sent a batch of blood recovery and healing resources during the night, but no family elders came with them."
After saying that, the tribesmen below hummed softly:
"It seems that the family's previous rescue of the Shi family was in vain!"
After hearing this, Chen Tianjing smiled indifferently, but he didn't care.
After all, the Shi family was an affiliated family of the family and provided corresponding resources every year, so the family should make a move.
Now that the more powerful Sun family is invading, it is rare for a family like the Tao family to become a choice. It is already good enough that the Shi family can send a batch of resources that are useful to ordinary families.
Moreover, the family did not expect these small families to bring much help to the family from the beginning. Whether to help or not depends entirely on the intentions of these families.
"As for the other families, there has been no movement. They seem to be waiting and watching. However, the family has also received some news. Those families seem to have prepared a new batch of resources. They are probably preparing to join the Sun family."
"What about the Lai family? What is this clan doing?"
"Like other small families, the Lai family is also in a wait-and-see state and has not sent anyone to the family."
"Okay, I understand. Go and inform the elder of the Tianyu clan and ask him to arrange for the people of the Tao family to stay in the village!"
"Yes, Patriarch."
After the tribesmen left, Chen Tianjing smiled lightly.
It seems that "God's will" is not on the family's side this time, otherwise the Lai family would have taken action long ago.
However, Chen Tianjing still didn't care too much. Instead of believing in the deduction of the Lai family totem, it would be more useful to pray more to the family sacred tree.
If everything could be predicted, the Lai family would not have developed to this point.
Afterwards, Chen Tianjing walked towards the family ancestral hall.
There are only three days left before the Sun family arrives at the Mass Burial Hill. During these three days, the family needs to make preparations. He also needs to discuss some details of the battle with his uncle Changming. After all, this battle is of great importance and the family cannot be careless.
Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding tribes, the Sun family's expeditionary force soon arrived outside the city of Yong'an.
At this moment, the city was sparsely populated and the streets were empty. Even the vendors who rarely took a break when it rained chose to stay at home. As for the Chen family members, they had naturally returned to the mass grave mountain long ago. Those who remained in the city were all ordinary people.
Sun Sifu, who was walking in front, looked at Yong'an City in front of him. He did not rush into the city, but turned back to the middle of the team and asked a carriage:
"Uncle Yuanji, should we send people to guard this city, or continue to the Mass Burial Hill?"
Soon, Sun Yuanji's faint reply came from the carriage.
"No need, let's go directly to the mass grave."
"We can travel normally to the Mass Burial Mountain and set up camp and rest there at night."
"I see."
Sun Sifu nodded in agreement, and then the family team set off again.
