"Uncle, I think we should split up this time."
While other tribesmen were recovering from their injuries or concentrating their Qi to break through, Chen Qinghe and Chen Tianyu had already begun discussing their subsequent breakout plans.
Hearing Chen Qinghe's suggestion, Chen Tianyu also showed approval.
If the tribesmen rush forward together, although they may seem strong and can concentrate their strength, the Gongyang family only needs to send out a warrior in the state of unity of man and nature to intercept them all. With the cooperation of other warriors of the Gongyang family, they will have no chance. Moreover, this is not a mass grave, and they cannot get the protection of the sacred tree.
If we disperse our actions and restrain the Gongyang family, there will still be a glimmer of hope.
"How should we distribute them? To which tribe should we hand over those locust leaves?"
Chen Tianyu quickly found out the key.
Their ultimate goal this time is to return the resources in their hands, and the most important resource among them is naturally the locust leaves containing many souls.
Since it is a dispersed action, some tribesmen are required to bring the locust leaves back to the family.
But whether to gather all the locust leaves in one person, or to let each member of the tribe carry a few locust leaves back to the tribe, is also a problem.
If all the locust leaves were given to one person to take back, but if this member of the clan was intercepted by the Gongyang family and met with an accident, the family would surely be destroyed.
However, if every member of the tribe carries a few locust leaves containing souls, the success rate may be higher, but resources cannot be concentrated, and returning to the tribe may not bring sufficient growth to the family soul.
You should know that this time the tribesmen had as many as twenty locust leaves in their hands.
Moreover, each of these twenty locust leaves is dark in color, and the souls contained in them are the many warriors who died in the wars in the past two years. Among them are many high-level warriors in the Qi Control Realm. There may be some omissions, but they also account for seven or eight out of ten of the deceased warriors.
Such a soul resource would certainly be of great help to the deceased members of the family, so they had to bring these locust leaves back to the clan at all costs.
Hearing Chen Tianyu's question, Chen Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a while, he quickly whispered a few words.
After learning about Chen Qinghe's idea, Chen Tianyu was also shocked:
“Isn’t this too risky?”
"Master Tianyu, in extraordinary times, we should do extraordinary things. Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. They don't know our purpose. This is the only chance for our family."
Chen Tianyu frowned, and was a little undecided for a moment.
But after groping in his arms for a while, Chen Tianyu finally nodded.
"Okay, then let's do as you think."
"But I'm worried that this time the Gongyang family will not only attack us, but there may also be some risks in the family, so we have to hurry back to the family."
"I don't think we need to worry about this. Although the family is now weak, the family sacred tree is still there. If the Gongyang family wants to intercept us, they will inevitably disperse their strength, which should not have much impact on the family."
Chen Tianyu turned around and thought about it, and felt that it made sense.
With the protection of the family sacred tree, the Gongyang family probably won't act rashly. Instead, they are in greater danger.
After finalizing the idea, the two turned to check on the recovery of their tribesmen.
There are only six days left before the border is closed, and they do not have much time left. If Chen Qingxiu and other tribesmen cannot break through within six days, they will not stay for long.
…
"Clan leader, the Gongyang family has made some moves. Many auras have left the Gongyang family and are suspected to be heading towards the clan."
At the mass grave mountain, Chen Tianjing's expression froze slightly when he received the news.
As the family expanded over the past two years, it has never stopped observing the Gongyang family, in order to be the first to know about the Gongyang family's actions.
Unexpectedly, after two years of silence, the Gongyang family took action again.
Although he didn't know the significance of the Gongyang family's move, Chen Tianjing had some guesses in his mind.
After a brief thought, Chen Tianjing quickly gave the order:
"Withdraw all the clan members outside, and hand over Le'an City and Yunmeng City to the Tao family and Lu family for custody respectively."
"Patriarch, where is Yong'an City?"
Chen Tianjing looked towards Yong'an City and said slowly:
"Yong'an City, no need to withdraw."
"By the way, let Tianquan and the elders of the Tianmo clan come to the ancestral hall!"
"Yes, Patriarch!"
After issuing several orders, Chen Tianjing quickly headed towards the ancestral hall.
Yong'an City has long been the family's territory, but in the beginning, the protection of the sacred tree did not reach Yong'an City, so every time there was a war, the family would choose to abandon Yong'an City and stick to the Mass Grave Hill.
But now the situation is different. According to Uncle Changming, Yong'an City is already within the scope of the underworld, and the family can provide support at any time, so there is no need to evacuate.
But to determine the specific situation, he still needs to pray to the sacred tree and receive instructions, only then he will know what the family’s next move should be!
After a while, Chen Tianjing arrived at the ancestral hall.
After looking up and seeing the sacred tree today, Chen Tianjing's eyes were filled with reverence.
Over the past year, the family sacred tree has grown extremely fast. Even its height has increased by more than twenty feet. Now it is nearly fifty feet high.
After looking carefully, Chen Tianjing noticed something unusual on the trunk of the sacred tree.
Although the overall color of the tree trunk is still gray and black, there are now several more colors next to these two colors.
Among them, gold and red are the most popular, extending to almost every branch, followed by white, earth color, purple... various colors are interspersed, but these colors are lighter.
The tree trunks are of various colors, but they seem to be natural and there is no sense of incongruity.
Although I don’t understand the meaning of the various patterns on the branches of the sacred tree, judging from the growth of the sacred tree, this is not a bad thing.
After regaining his composure, Chen Tianjing began to pray and poured out his inner doubts during this prayer.
After the prayer, a breeze blew past quickly.
In the breeze, Chen Tianjing's whole body paused, and his eyes quickly brightened. After thanking the sacred tree, Chen Tianyu already knew the reason for what happened.
Soon, Chen Tianquan and Chen Tianmo, who had learned the news, rushed to the ancestral hall.
"Patriarch, I heard that the Gongyang family has made some moves."
Facing the gazes of the two, Chen Tianjing nodded:
"Indeed, I just prayed to the sacred tree, and the result is that the border war is over."
"Won't the tribe members be able to return soon?"
Chen Tianquan was excited when he heard the news. Chen Qingcheng had been away from the clan for a long time and he missed him. Moreover, with the return of the clan members, the family would surely become stronger!
"I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
"Many members of the Gongyang family are also within the border."
Chen Tianquan suddenly woke up. Yes, after the war, the agreement with Southern Xinjiang was no longer useful. How could the Gongyang family miss the opportunity to attack their people?
Without the protection of the sacred tree, the tribe would certainly be in great danger.
