"Kill him."
The middle-aged man uttered light words.
After hearing this, the tribesmen simply retreated silently, with no other expression on their faces.
Killing two people was just a simple matter for them, and it was even easier to deal with than dealing with ferocious beasts.
After the room was empty, the middle-aged man slowly walked towards the backyard.
But his face could not hide his joy.
"Five years, five years!"
The family searched the mass grave for five years. If it weren't for the natural blood spring that falls dormant in the winter, they would have found it long ago.
But it is precisely because the blood spring is quiet in winter that they can search through the backflow of the blood spring.
If it were any other season, when the blood spring revived, there would be too many tributaries and it would be difficult to find the exact location of the blood spring unless they turned the entire mass grave upside down.
Unfortunately, the current manpower in the clan is not enough, not to mention that such a high-profile move would easily attract attention.
Fortunately, the family’s five years of searching were not in vain!
Yesterday, the family finally found the main stream of the natural blood spring through the tunnel they dug!
After judging, there is a 90% chance that the blood spring is under the Chen family.
Five years have passed, and he has changed from being anxious at first to being calm today. After knowing the location of the blood spring, he did not rush to set off, but prepared to find out the news about the Chen family first.
If it was before, he might not be so cautious, but the last time the Chen family turned defeat into victory in a desperate situation, he had to be more cautious.
Most importantly, the family is no longer what it used to be.
He can wait until tomorrow to check out the specific strength of the Chen family under the pretext of a visit, and it will not be too late to take action then.
The middle-aged man continued walking forward and soon came to a familiar courtyard.
In the courtyard, the bamboo forest became increasingly sparse, and the color of the green bamboo became increasingly yellow.
In the middle of this sparse bamboo forest, a green bamboo no taller than half a foot and no thicker than a wrist came into the middle-aged man's sight.
However, this green bamboo seemed even more dead, without even a trace of green on it.
The middle-aged man then burned incense and prayed:
"Lord Qing Ling, please bless our family to successfully obtain the natural blood spring this time..."
After the worship, the middle-aged man scattered the blood rice that had been prepared long ago into the bamboo forest.
When the blood rice was thrown into the bamboo forest, it quickly lost its color and became the same as ordinary rice grains.
Unfortunately, the green bamboo that absorbed the blood rice did not undergo much change.
These blood rice can only maintain the vitality of the family totem and are not enough to bring the totem back to life. Only the source of these blood rice, the natural blood spring, can save the family's dying totem.
It is precisely because of this that the family chose to settle here.
However, even though the family totem has declined, it still retains some special effects. For example, when he was asking Cai Mao just now, the fragrance emitted by the green bamboo was the magical power of the family totem.
If the family totem is in good condition, the fragrance will have many miraculous effects, allowing the warrior to be more agile and to exert greater power in combat.
But it won't take a few days. Once the family gets the natural blood spring, the totem will be revived. Then they can leave this small mass grave and return to the place that belongs to the family!
…
"A visiting card?"
Listening to the report from the tribe member, Chen Xingzhen looked surprised and doubtful. He then took a letter from the tribe member and opened it.
"Liu Zishan, the patriarch of the Liu family, has come to congratulate me..."
…
Looking at the contents of the letter, Chen Xingzhen's face was calm, but he was already alert in his heart.
The family had never had any dealings with the Liu family before. After today's visit, they must have known the location of the blood spring.
He comes with ill intentions.
Before Chen Xingzhen put down the letter in his hand, another tribesman came to report:
"Patriarch, there are several people from the Liu family outside, and one of them said he is the patriarch of the Liu family."
"Coming so soon?"
Chen Xingzhen was slightly surprised, but he immediately called Chen Tianyu and Chen Tianjing to follow him.
Since it is a visiting card, the family naturally needs to follow certain etiquette.
Of course, this etiquette is more often used to demonstrate the family's strength.
Although they knew that the blood spring was right below the ancestral hall, the Liu family most likely came for the blood spring.
But now the two families have not yet torn their faces apart, so there may still be room for turnaround.
What's more, the family is weak now. If it is really unavoidable, it would be good to delay it for some time.
The visiting card in his hand also confirmed to Chen Xingzhen that the Liu family was not an ordinary small family and he needed to be more careful in dealing with them.
The few of them soon arrived outside the family and saw people from the Liu family waiting outside.
A total of three people from the Liu family came this time, and standing in the front was a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was dignified and although he was a little thin, he exuded a vigorous and resolute aura from head to toe.
This person is obviously the patriarch of the Liu family, Liu Zishan!
As for the two people who were accompanying him, although their demeanor was slightly inferior, the fact that they were in the late stage of the Blood Coagulation Realm made Chen Xingzhen feel a little depressed.
Among them, the Qi and blood were extremely vigorous, and it seemed that he had already reached the highest level of blood coagulation, and his Qi and blood were as strong as mercury.
After hearing the news, many tribesmen came out to watch.
Facing the onlookers of the Chen family, Liu Zishan looked calm and the smile on his face made many family members feel warm and happy.
Only Chen Xingzhen and a few other Blood Coagulation Realm warriors who knew his purpose had serious expressions.
After dispersing the tribesmen, the two family patriarchs also met at this moment.
"I am the head of the Chen family, Chen Xingzhen."
"The head of the Liu family, Liu Zishan!"
After briefly explaining his identity, Liu Zishan smiled and said:
"It is a shame to visit you today. I hope Patriarch Chen will not take offense."
"You are too polite, Chief Liu. Please come in!"
"please."
Both parties smiled and then slowly walked towards their tribe.
Soon, the group arrived at the main hall of the Chen family.
"Someone, bring the tea."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Liu Zishan suddenly said:
"It's winter now. When I came here, I saw the nobles planting blood rice. I wonder how the harvest is?"
"Thank you for your concern, Chief Liu. The weather has been cold recently, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to harvest any blood rice."
"oh?"
Liu Zishan looked surprised, then nodded:
"It is indeed difficult for blood rice to grow in winter, but I remember that there seems to be a secret recipe in the tribe that can make blood rice grow strong in winter. I just don't know where the secret recipe is now."
"If the nobles need it, I can send someone back to look for it and send it back. What do you think, Patriarch Chen?"
Chen Xingzhen was delighted after hearing this:
"Is there really such a secret recipe? Then I would like to thank Chief Liu first."
"Patriarch Chen is too polite. I will send someone to deliver it in two days."
"That would be great."
After the two of them finished talking, they exchanged pleasantries again.
After the greetings, the few of them did not stay and prepared to leave.
Chen Xingzhen also seemed very enthusiastic. He sent the three people to the door and did not turn back until their figures disappeared.
