Chapter 303 Patriarch Succession

"Have all the tribesmen arrived?"

The next day, at noon, Chen Xingzhen looked at the tribesmen fighting in the ancestral hall below and asked.

"Chief, all the tribesmen in the Burial Mountain have arrived."

After Chen Tianyu finished speaking, Chen Tianjing also spoke:

"All the tribesmen in Yong'an City have returned, but Qinghe and Qingmeng are still on the way, and it will probably take a while for them to arrive at the family."

After saying that, Chen Tianjing still had a trace of doubt in his eyes. The tribesmen all knew the news of the resurrection of the sacred tree. Could it be that today's meeting was prepared for the great sacrifice to the sacred tree?

But three years ago, in order to sacrifice to the sacred tree, the family had almost hunted down all the beasts in the Burial Mountain. In addition to the continuous sacrifices in the past three years, the Burial Mountain today is far from being able to support a great sacrifice to the sacred tree.

But looking at Chen Xingzhen's gorgeous dress today and the altar in front, Chen Tianjing did not ask much, and he would know it naturally later.

After hearing the two's answers, Chen Xingzhen hesitated for a moment, then said:

"The auspicious time has come, so let's not wait for them."

Under the gaze of many clansmen, Chen Xingzhen came to the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall where many ancestors were enshrined, and said solemnly:

"Burn incense! Worship the ancestors!"

"Perform kneeling ceremony!"

After a series of rituals were completed, Chen Xingzhen turned his head to look at the countless clansmen in front of him, circulated the blood in his body, and said loudly:

"Chen Xingzhen, the twelfth great-great-grandson of the Chen family, today, at the eighth hour of September in the 1238th year of the Wanlong calendar, in the presence of the elders of the family and all the clansmen, will pass the position of the patriarch of the Chen family to the clan member Chen Tianjing! I hope all the clansmen will know."

After these words came out, the clansmen below were all silent, and it was obvious that this matter was not a secret.

Aside, Chen Tianyu looked normal, and he had already known about this matter in his heart.

In fact, when the clan leader handed the three-color wind fairy flower to him some time ago, he had guessed in his heart that he did not covet the position of the clan leader, and perhaps Tianjing was more suitable than him.

Chen Tianjing, who heard what Chen Xingzhen said, was shocked, with a trace of disbelief in his eyes. He never thought that the position of the clan leader would be passed to him. After all, in his opinion, Chen Tianyu was more suitable to inherit the clan leader than him.

Chen Tianjing's lips stammered, wanting to say something.

But under Chen Xingzhen's encouraging eyes, Chen Tianjing's eyes gradually became firm!

Since the family chose him, there was no reason for him to retreat.

The clan leader is not only an honor, but also a responsibility!

Under the gaze of many clan members, Chen Tianjing slowly stepped forward and took the token representing the clan leader from Chen Xingzhen with both hands.

This token is simple and has complicated patterns on it. Behind the token, there is an old tree, which is the symbol of the family totem. This is not a traditional inheritance of the family, but was made by the clan members after they moved to the mass grave mountain.

Although it has not been long, it represents some extraordinary meaning at this moment.

When Chen Tianjing took over the clan leader token, Chen Xingzhen smiled, and the clan members below also spoke in unison at this moment:

"Congratulations to Chen Tianjing, the clan leader, for taking the throne!"

In the family, Chen Qinghe, who had just arrived at the family, heard the clan members' loud shouts, and his steps that were originally rushing to the ancestral hall paused:

"My father became the clan leader?"

"Isn't the family finished?"

Thinking of his future life after Chen Tianjing became the clan leader, Chen Qinghe's eyes were also a little confused, but then he murmured to himself:

"Wait, my father became the clan leader, according to the family succession, I will also have a great chance to become the clan leader in the future."

"My father is the clan leader, and I am also the clan leader."

"I am my father?"

"Ah?"

On the side, Chen Qingmeng scratched his head helplessly.

Chen Qinghe shook his head, threw away the strange thoughts in his mind, and hurried to the family ancestral hall. How could he, the future clan leader of the family, not be present at such a family event?

When the two arrived at the ancestral hall, they had already reached the next stage.

After the handover ceremony, Chen Xingzhen and his companions quickly came to the bottom of the sacred tree.

If it were an ordinary family, it would have ended here, but the family had a totem, and the last step to become the patriarch of the family was to get the recognition of the family sacred tree.

Chen Tianjing looked solemn, and then began to pray to the sacred tree.

In the eyes of many tribesmen looking up, the family sacred tree in front of him suddenly showed a ray of brilliance.

Under the brilliance, a black locust leaf slowly fell and landed in Chen Tianjing's hands.

Seeing this, countless tribesmen prayed sincerely.

At this point, the new patriarch officially succeeded.

After the entire succession ceremony was over, Chen Qinghe also walked out of the ancestral hall with many tribesmen, and there was still a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

However, when he thought that his status in the tribe had been improved again, Chen Qinghe's eyes also lit up, and he walked more energetically.

In the ancestral hall, more than a dozen warriors in the family above the blood coagulation realm were not in a hurry to leave.

With the new patriarch taking over, the family naturally needs a new direction, and they still need to wait for dispatch.

At this moment, there are several new faces among the blood coagulation clan members standing in the ancestral hall. They are all the Qing clan members who have broken through the blood coagulation realm in the past two years, such as Chen Qingxiu, Chen Qingshan and others.

And several clan members who were originally in the blood coagulation realm, such as Chen Tianlu, Chen Tianlei, etc., unfortunately died in the last family war, and now they have turned into green fruits and hung on the tree.

But the remaining Tian clan members in the family, such as Chen Tianquan, Chen Tianmo and others, have made breakthroughs in their original realms!

"Chief, now that the sacred tree has just awakened, is it too early for me to succeed as the new chief?"

Chen Tianjing said with some hesitation on his face.

Although he was full of confidence just now, the atmosphere at that time was right and he could not hesitate.

But now that he has calmed down, he still has a little hesitation in his heart. Can he really lead the family to glory? He is not sure.

After hearing this, Chen Xingzhen just smiled and said:

"I am old. When I was in the mass grave mountain, I could still lead the family, but the family is different now. It needs to develop in a farther direction and needs a longer-term vision."

"Now you are the chief of the family, don't let down the expectations of the clan members."

Hearing Chen Xingzhen's words, Chen Tianjing was no longer hesitant, not to mention that the family succession ceremony had been held, and there was no chance to regret it.

"Tian Mo, tomorrow you take some clan members with you and transport all the blood rice that the family has accumulated over the past two years to Yong'an City."

"Qingxiu, Qingshan, Qingrou, you go to Yunmeng City, Xiangshui City and other places respectively to sell some of the family's blood rice, and by the way, spread the news that the family will sell a large amount of blood rice in Yong'an City in a month."

"Yes, clan leader."

After taking on the role of clan leader, Chen Tianjing began to issue orders in an orderly manner.

Aside, Chen Xingzhen did not speak. The future of the family is always in the hands of the younger generation of clan members, so he just watched quietly.
