Chapter 237 Heavy Losses
(The last two chapters were written by Cheng Clan Laoha, sorry for the confusion~~!)
"Are you crazy? The patriarch and the others must be crazy!"
Shi Pojing murmured as he walked out of the hall.
Although the Chen family has some background, it is still far behind compared to the rest of the family. He believes that as long as he waits for the opportunity, he will be able to seize the opportunity sooner or later and annihilate the Chen family in one fell swoop.
As for the previous two failures, what does that have to do with him?
If I had listened to his words for the first time, seized the opportunity earlier, and not wasted those days, the Chen family would have been destroyed long ago.
This second time, if the clan leader had sent more people to him, how could it have developed to such a situation.
But now, the clan leader and clan elders are preparing to ask for support from other clans, and they also want to shake hands with the Xie family and make peace.
It sounds great, but if you're not careful, your family will be in a desperate situation.
Instead of trusting others, rely on yourself.
After thinking deeply, Shi Pojing quickly understood the reason why these clan elders did this.
They feel threatened, and they are afraid of death, but they are not so afraid, right?
These old things! It should be buried in the ground!
Shi Pojing cursed in his heart, but he was so soft-spoken that he couldn't speak in this conference.
Even the two clan elders Shi Chengyu and Shi Chenghou who supported him did not attend this time, leaving no one to speak for him.
The failure of this plan also caused him to be punished accordingly. After that, the family's training resources for a year would not be his turn.
Moreover, he will probably not be allowed to lead any major family affairs in the future. In other words, he has lost the opportunity to compete for the position of clan leader.
The former was fine. He still had certain resources here, but the latter left him helpless. After all, there were not many elders in the clan who supported him. He originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to win over the clan elders. , but I didn’t expect such an accident.
"hateful!"
"I won't give up!"
…
"Clan leader, all the corpses have been cleaned up. In addition, some scattered jade coins were found on them. The total amount is about two thousand jade coins."
In the ancestral hall, Chen Xingzhen, who was listening to Chen Tianyu's report, nodded slightly and then asked:
"What about the clan members? Has anyone died?"
For ordinary families, they must ask about casualties, but families don't have to worry about injuries. As long as the clan members are not dead, there will be zero battle losses.
After hearing this, Chen Tianyu hesitated on his face, and this look also made Chen Xingzhen feel something bad in his heart.
"Clan leader Hui, this time the family has lost six people in total, including three blood coagulation realm warriors and three body tempering realm warriors. They are Chen Xingyi, Chen Xingtong, Chen Xingxing..."
Listening to Chen Tianyu's name, Chen Xingzhen looked a little ugly.
These tribesmen are all of the same generation as him, and two of them are much older than him.
At the same time, these few people are also members of the clan who have migrated from the family. Although they are slightly less talented and have just broken through the blood coagulation realm with the help of family resources not long ago, they are also the core pillars of the family. Now they are in control of the family's medicinal materials, iron tools and other aspects. The tribesmen are quite experienced in some areas.
Unexpectedly, several people died this time.
Even if the power of the sacred tree can resurrect a few people, there will be a separation between yin and yang from now on, which inevitably makes Chen Xingzhen a little sad.
The other tribesmen also lowered their heads silently after hearing this.
This battle resulted in more losses than previous family wars.
After a little mourning, Chen Xingzhen let out a long sigh and then said:
"Bring over the bodies of several clan members."
Looking at the body that was covered with white cloth and carried into the ancestral hall, many clan members looked sad, but when they were sad, there was a trace of expectation in their eyes.
Chen Xingzhen no longer hesitated, turned towards the sacred tree and began to pray.
Naturally, these clansmen who died fighting for their families cannot just disappear.
Above, in Ji Yang's gaze, several gray souls were wandering aimlessly beside these corpses. Around these souls without memories, many deceased clan members gathered.
At this moment, there is no sadness on the faces of these tribesmen, but rather joy. After all, they have died long ago. What is joyful is that several new tribesmen are about to join their big family.
After Chen Xingzhen prayed, Ji Yang also activated his soul-condensing magical power.
The next moment, these soul bodies rushed towards the trunk of Jiyang tree and merged into it.
After their souls merged into the trunk, several new fruits quickly grew from the locust branches. However, these fruits were not big now and needed to grow for a week before they could take shape.
"Clan leader, the bodies of these clan members?"
Below, Chen Tianyu asked hesitantly.
According to the family's previous rules, clan members above the blood coagulation realm will be sacrificed to become family guardians. Although their realm may have declined after the sacrifice, their physical strength is still there and they can be used.
However, the family is no longer what it used to be. The Blood Coagulation Realm clan members are no longer the main force in the family. Whether they will be sacrificed or not depends on what the clan leader says.
Chen Xingzhen also thought of this, and after hesitating for a long time, he said:
"In the past, the family had to do sacrifices as a last resort. Now that the family has the protection of the elders, it is not bad. As for whether to perform sacrifices, we will see their own ideas after they are born."
"The body will be placed in the ancestral hall for the time being."
The ancestral hall has a strong Yin Qi, so it will not rot.
"Yes, patriarch."
The others didn't say anything more after hearing this. They decided whether to perform sacrifices according to the tribe's own wishes. It was indeed better to think about it.
"By the way, Tianjing, you can select a few new clan members to take over their affairs later."
Life and death are common, but the family must continue to develop. Now that the family has a store in Yong'an City, all aspects cannot be delayed.
According to the reply from the clan members in Yong'an City, a lot of things have been sold in the store. Although the jade coins obtained are not much, I believe that there will be good benefits in this regard when the family scale is formed.
"Well, clan leader, these clan members have been arranged long ago."
Chen Xingzhen was stunned after hearing this, with some thoughts in his eyebrows, but he nodded and said nothing more.
In this war, many clan members used the Five Internal Organs Ascension Technique. Although they were healed by the sacred tree, they still need to recuperate for a period of time. In addition, the new crop of blood rice in the clan should also be planted.
Otherwise, the cultivation resources of the clan members will not be supplied.
But apart from these, there is a more serious problem facing the family.
That is how to deal with the next move of the Shi family.
Although the family won this time, the gap with the Shi family is still huge. The strength of the innate realm warrior is so terrifying, and the Shi family will definitely not have only one innate realm warrior.
The family will find it difficult to resist just one person. If there are more people, the family may not be able to resist.
But improving the family's strength is not something that can be done overnight.
Looking at the scattered clansmen, Chen Xingzhen sighed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do for a while, so he could only let it go.
