Chapter 400: Another Earth-Level Combat Technique
Tao Lezhi looked confused and said:
"What opinion?"
"Are you talking about Patriarch Chen?"
"Patriarch Chen is humble and is indeed the leader of the clan."
Hearing this answer, the inquiring elder of the Kong clan just smiled and said no more. The elder of the Shi clan beside him was also thoughtful.
Seeing that the two did not ask further questions, Tao Lezhi chuckled in his heart.
Of course he knew what the two meant.
Even though the Chen family is not weak, small families like them also have other ideas, so when they saw each other in the side hall, they all seemed more enthusiastic and prepared for future cooperation.
But today's incident made Tao Lezhi realize that the Chen family might not be easy to mess with. Since the Chen family is not domineering, the family will wait and see the situation.
And today, Patriarch Chen deliberately let the three of them gather in the side hall, which may not be without the intention of testing.
Perhaps, even if they unite, the Chen family is not afraid.
And he heard that the Yu family has also made a lot of moves recently.
The situation is turbulent, and the family should be more cautious and avoid the sharp edge for the time being.
After walking together for a while, the three of them soon dispersed at the fork in the road and headed towards their respective families.
...
A few days later, several small families rushed to Yong'an City with the few fierce beast resources in the family.
In response to the goodwill of these families, Chen Tianjing also exchanged their resources with blood rice.
And this approach also made the attitudes of these small families more friendly.
After completing the transaction with several small families, the fierce beast resources in the family were almost the same, reaching the number expected by Chen Tianjing in his mind, and then issued a notice in the family.
The family will hold a family sacrifice seven days later, that is, at the time of Chen on the second day of December in the 1239th year of the Wanlong calendar.
After determining the time, the fierce beast resources in Yong'an City were also transferred to the mass grave mountain.
For this family sacrifice, Chen Tianjing also returned to the family early to make preparations.
Other members of the family are also full of expectations.
…
"Patriarch Chen, we are here to bid farewell to you. Thank you for your hospitality these days. We are grateful."
At the Mass Burial Hill, Chen Tianjing looked at Zhou Honglang and his companions who were about to leave, and his face was thoughtful.
"Have you made up your mind, Mr. Zhou?"
Chen Tianjing asked seriously.
The family had promised the patriarch Zhou that they would help the descendants of the Zhou family to the best of their ability, and the family did not break their promise.
Even if Zhou Honglang stayed in the family for a few years, Chen Tianjing had no other opinions.
But the family would only help once. If Zhou Honglang and his companions came to the family again next time, he might not agree. After all, taking them in was also a great risk.
At this moment, Chen Tianjing's question implied this meaning, and he believed that Zhou Honglang could hear the meaning.
"I have made up my mind!"
Zhou Honglang said again. Of course, he understood what Chen Tianjing meant.
But he was worried that if they continued to stay in the Mass Burial Hill, they would no longer have the will to fight, and even lose the courage to revive the family.
A peaceful life will always wear away people's will, even warriors are no exception, so even though the Mass Burial Mountain is quite safe, they have reasons to leave.
Seeing the determination on Zhou Honglang's faces, Chen Tianjing said nothing more, just nodded:
"I know, I will send my clansmen to escort you out of the Mass Burial Mountain, and I will also give you some jade coins as travel expenses."
"Then I would like to thank Chief Chen."
Zhou Honglang did not refuse Chen Tianjing's kindness, after all, they really need these things now.
As for where they are going next, Chen Tianjing did not ask much, after all, the relationship between the two sides is not that close.
Soon, Zhou Honglang and his figures disappeared in the family.
"Thank you for seeing me off."
Outside the white fog, Zhou Honglang bowed to several members of the Chen family to thank them.
Seeing them enter the white fog again, Zhou Honglang and his friends relaxed.
They did leave the Mass Burial Mountain, and the Chen family did not have any other intentions, they just took them in.
Thinking of this, the other tribesmen all had complicated expressions. It seemed that they were judging others by their own standards.
But when they were out, they had no choice. If they were careless, they might die.
"Brother, where are we going now?"
A tribe member asked.
Zhou Honglang looked around, took a deep breath, and whispered.
The figures of several people quickly disappeared from the spot.
"Chief, they have left."
After a while, the tribe members who escorted the people away came back to report.
Chen Tianjing just nodded after hearing this:
"I know."
But soon, a tribe member ran to him and said:
"Chief, this is something I just found when I cleaned up the guest room. It seems to be something Zhou Honglang and his friends left behind."
"Oh? Show it to me."
Chen Tianjing looked at the silk handed over by the tribe member, with a hint of doubt on his face.
After opening the silk and seeing the contents recorded on it, Chen Tianjing narrowed his eyes slightly.
On the silk, there is a brand new earth-level combat skill.
The combat skill is called Meteor Without Trace, which is a sword-fighting combat skill. After practicing it to perfection, it can kill people without being seen.
Although it is only of low quality, the earth-level combat skill is something that ordinary families cannot access.
But if it is a legacy of the Zhou family, it is not surprising.
Although this earth-level combat skill is not as helpful to the family as expected, after all, the family has already obtained two earth-level combat skills from the sacred tree, but Zhou Honglang and his friends' actions still made Chen Tianjing smile slightly.
In this way, the family can help Zhou Honglang and his friends again when they come to the family for refuge next time.
As for Zhou Honglang and his friends' actions, Chen Tianjing also had some guesses in his mind. They were probably worried that the family would not let them leave, so they chose to hide this combat skill in the guest room.
If the family really did this, perhaps Zhou Honglang and his friends had other arrangements?
However, for the sake of safety, Chen Tianjing decided to let the deceased elders in the family study it later to avoid incomplete combat skills.
Putting away the combat skills in his hand, Chen Tianjing no longer thought about it.
At present, the family grand sacrifice is still the main focus. Other things can be considered after the family grand sacrifice is over.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day of the family grand sacrifice.
The dawn was just beginning to shine, and the earth gradually woke up.
The clan was very lively. The clan members who were usually busy outside or in seclusion were all dressed neatly and looked happy.
It had been several years since the last family sacrifice. Of course, the sacred tree was also dormant.
But this also led to the fact that the new generation of clan members had never participated in such a grand family sacrifice.
Although they knew that the family sacred tree had great power, they were usually busy studying, tempering their bodies, or practicing combat skills. Even if they had free time, they would go out to play with other clan members. There was no time to go to the ancestral hall to worship the sacred tree.
In addition, there were often family elders in the ancestral hall, which led to many clan members born in the last few years never seeing the sacred tree show its power. Under the narration of the family elders, these young people in the clan also looked forward to it.
