This war was massive and would certainly have had a significant impact on the family. The Sun family was certainly the family's enemy, but the Gongyang family was also one of the threats that the family could not ignore.
If the news leaks out too quickly, it may spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people, and it may bring great trouble to the family.
Therefore, the family had to establish an appropriate blockade before the news spread out of the Mass Grave Hill and reduce the impact of this war on the family.
Although the war is over, it is not too late and there is still room for remedy.
Firstly, the three upper-class families have been wary of each other recently, and they probably don’t have the time to pay attention to the news from this remote place. Even if they heard some rumors, they probably wouldn’t investigate further.
Secondly, this battle was carried out in the family's territory. Not to mention Yelang County, it was also some distance away from Yunmeng City and Le'an City, and it would take a certain amount of time for news to spread. It was thanks to the remote location of the family that there was room for operation.
After some contemplation, Chen Tianjing gave another order:
"Tianquan, take some of your clansmen with you and capture all the people from other families in the territory! Don't leave anyone out."
After listening to this, Chen Tianquan pondered for a moment and understood the clan leader's idea. He immediately nodded in agreement, then rode on the family's blue wolf and took his clansmen away into the distance.
There are many family members who want to get the news up close this time. I think they haven’t gone far yet, so it should still be in time!
After Chen Tianquan left, Chen Tianjing clasped his hands together and began to pray silently in his heart.
To block the news, it is definitely not enough to rely on the tribe members alone, and the help of the family sacred tree is also needed.
Soon, Chen Tianjing's expression relaxed a little after receiving the response from the sacred tree. With the help of the sacred tree, he no longer had to worry.
At this time, Chen Hansheng on the side suddenly asked:
"Patriarch, shouldn't we take advantage of the moment now to wipe out the main force of the Sun family, and before the Sun family can react, we should pursue them and kill them directly to the Sun family's lair and annihilate them in one fell swoop?"
Looking at Chen Hansheng, who had been quite brave in the battle just now and still had several blood stains on his face, Chen Tianjing smiled slightly and then explained:
"The Sun family did lose a lot of clan members and elders this time, including Sun Yuanji, the strongest member of the family. However, the remaining strength of the Sun family should not be underestimated. The family is also protected by the family totem. It is not easy to completely destroy the Sun family."
"Besides, the journey is long and the Sun family is a totem of incense and worship. They have probably received the news long ago, so the family cannot seize the initiative. There is no need to go there now. It is better to wait until the members of the family recover before sending someone there."
After hearing Chen Tianjing's patient explanation, Chen Hansheng nodded as if he understood something, and then stopped asking questions.
After seeing Chen Hansheng cleaning up the aftermath of the battlefield, Chen Tianjing also had a sigh on his face.
If possible, he would certainly not give up the opportunity to completely wipe out the Sun family.
But in addition to the reasons he just mentioned, there are other uncontrollable factors.
For example, after learning the news, the Sun family will definitely be on guard against the family, and may even continue to cooperate with the Xiangshui Fang family.
Even though the family is quite powerful now, it still suffered losses after this war. For example, the family members' explosive technique will take about a month to recover.
In addition, the battle was so fierce that there were casualties among the tribesmen.
In addition, the use of the family totem must have consumed a certain amount of divine power.
It is not a wise move to attack Le'an City without the help of totems. This matter needs long-term consideration.
The most important thing right now is to deal with the mess here first.
…
In Le'an City, in the Sun Family Ancestral Hall.
Sun Simiao, Sun Chengshan and the other two remaining elders were staring at the sycamore tree in front of them in a daze.
Although this paulownia tree is only a few feet tall, it has lush branches and leaves, and between the leaves, there are a few dark blue fruits faintly hidden.
But now the sycamore tree seems a little listless, and even the leaves on it have turned yellow.
This paulownia tree is the incense totem of his Sun family.
Although the totem was damaged, the people under the tree had no intention of paying attention to it at the moment. They stood there like statues, motionless.
Sun Simiao's eyes were dull and empty, and he muttered to himself:
"How could this be? How is this possible?"
"The family sent dozens of elite members this time, and several elders also accompanied them. How could they all be wiped out?"
"Uncle Yuanji is a warrior at the fourth level of the Qi Control Realm. How could he die so easily?"
"Could it be that the totem is wrong?"
Behind him, Sun Chengshan looked at the patriarch with a dazed and dejected look in his eyes, but the evidence was irrefutable and the family totem's induction could not be wrong. Moreover, the current state of the totem also indicated that the incense incarnation that Uncle Yuanji brought out this time had disappeared.
Even if one is unwilling to accept it, this matter has already become a foregone conclusion, and the decline of the family is now unavoidable.
If the patriarch is unable to cheer up and lead the family again, it may not be the decline of the clan, but the destruction of the clan!
Thinking of this, Sun Chengshan spoke to comfort him:
"Patriarch, the deceased is gone. This time the family was defeated. It was not your fault. It was because the Chen family hid their secrets so well that the family didn't investigate. The family has made the greatest preparations. This matter is not your fault."
After hearing Sun Chengshan's words, Sun Simiao slowly came back to his senses. His bloodshot eyes showed no emotion, as if he had lost his soul. He murmured:
"It's gone, it's all gone, everything is gone."
Others may not know the twists and turns, but as the patriarch, how could he not know the bitterness of the family's development to date?
Originally, the family had a bright future, and was even expected to be promoted to a superior family. However, in just one night, the family was on the verge of extinction.
Such a blow made it difficult for the clan leader to recover for a while.
Seeing that the clan leader was in a state of despair, Sun Chengshan and the remaining two clan elders hurriedly spoke to comfort him:
"Chief, there is still hope for the family!"
"The totem is still there, the tribesmen below are still there, the elders are still there, there is still a chance to start over!"
"Chief, the family still needs you!"
Looking at the people who were trying to persuade him earnestly, Sun Simiao gradually came back to his senses.
Yes, the family is not completely hopeless. Those who went to attack the Chen family were all the family's innate realm warriors, but the family's body tempering realm warriors and blood coagulation realm warriors are still there, the totem is still there, and the family still has several elders. The family has not reached the point of despair yet.
But this loss still made him heartbroken. That was the accumulation of his family over decades or even hundreds of years, but now it was destroyed. It was not something that could be let go.
After pondering for a long time, Sun Simiao finally suppressed his inner emotions and regained the momentum and composure that a patriarch should have.
