Chapter 1124 Revenge
Someone rushed to the center of the courtyard and knelt down in the direction of Patriarch Situ, his forehead resting on the cold ground, his shoulders shaking violently.
Some people covered their chests and cried bitterly, tears mixed with the dust on their faces and flowed down, and they kept muttering "That's great".
A few surviving elders from the collateral branch stumbled forward a few steps and shouted hoarsely, "Ancestor! You're finally back! The family leaders... the family leaders have all been killed! The floor tiles in the meeting room are soaked in blood!"
"Those people were so cruel that they didn't even spare a high-ranking member of the family! Ancestor, you must avenge us!"
Cries, accusations, and pleas were intertwined. The fear, grievances, and anger that had been pent up in the tribesmen for several days completely burst out the moment they saw Ancestor Situ.
Just like a drowning man grabbing a piece of driftwood, his appearance is the only hope for the entire family.
Patriarch Situ closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the anger in his eyes almost overflowed.
He did not comfort the crying tribesmen first. Instead, his eyes swept through the crowd quickly like an eagle, identifying them one by one from the old to the young.
He is looking for the descendants of that ethereal immortal body!
He could accept the destruction of his family and the loss of all his clansmen, but nothing could happen to that descendant with an ethereal immortal body!
That was the only chance for the Situ family's future, and it was the "spark" that he had spent half his life to obtain.
Even if the tribe is gone, as long as the foundation is still there, there will always be a day to rebuild.
But once the ethereal immortal body falls, the Situ family will really lose the possibility of rising again. Even if he is the ancestor of the family, he cannot afford this loss!
"Quiet."
He finally spoke, his old voice filled with unquestionable majesty, like a thunderclap in the courtyard.
The originally noisy crying suddenly weakened, and everyone raised their heads, looking at him eagerly, waiting for his next words.
And Patriarch Situ's gaze was still fixed on the depths of the crowd, unwilling to let go of any corner.
But soon, his expression became extremely ugly, even so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
Because, he really didn't find the descendant with the ethereal immortal body among his tribe!
A huge surge of anger and fear engulfed him!
He was angry because he had promised Master Shangguan that he would give the descendant of that ethereal immortal body to Master Shangguan, but now it was obviously impossible to do it!
The reason for the panic was that the agreement between him and Master Shangguan had failed!
He has already accepted the benefits from Master Shangguan, but in the end, he cannot fulfill his promise. Master Shangguan is not a good man and will not let him go!
Not only was his idea of clinging to the Shangguan family shattered, but the most terrifying thing was that he would have to face the wrath of Master Shangguan next!
This is the most deadly!
Now I should think about how to explain to Master Shangguan!
Looking back at the huge flying warship behind him, Patriarch Situ felt sad.
"Where's Situ Xiaoqin? Where is she? Hurry and ask her to come out and see me!!!"
Patriarch Situ yelled at everyone to go find Situ Xiaoqin, the descendant of the one with the ethereal immortal body.
He still didn't give up and insisted on hearing some definite news!
When they heard him asking about Situ Xiaoqin's whereabouts, everyone in the Situ family looked at each other, as if they had some bad news and didn't know whether they should tell it or not.
Finally, a young man burst into tears and cried out miserably, "Grandfather, Aunt Xiaoqin...she joined the army to fight against the person who challenged our family, but...she was killed by that person!!!"
At the end of his speech, the young man burst into tears. Anyone in his family who was slightly capable of fighting had died.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, when he heard the news with his own ears, Patriarch Situ's body still shook twice. His eyes went dark, his head felt dizzy, and he almost fell to the ground!
If he didn't have a strong mental state, he would have probably fainted.
"Grandfather, you must avenge them. They died for our family too!!!"
"Those enemies were so ruthless that they nearly killed our entire family. If it weren't for you, Old Ancestor, returning, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to hold out for much longer!!!"
"Ancestor, don't let those enemies go! Otherwise, the people outside will think we can be bullied at will!!!"
The members of the Situ family found their backbone again and resumed their former arrogance and domineering attitude, clamoring for the ancestor to re-establish the family's dignity and not let outsiders look down on them.
Looking at the chaotic tribesmen, Patriarch Situ couldn't hear a word they said. He was also very upset.
However, I was not upset because of revenge, but because I didn’t know how to deal with Young Master Shangguan!
What he was most worried about now was that Master Shangguan would get angry and take his anger out on him.
Even though his realm was much higher than Young Master Shangguan's, he really didn't dare to act rashly in front of Young Master Shangguan, for fear that he would do something inappropriate and cause Young Master Shangguan to be disgusted.
From the flying warship behind him, the tall and slender Master Shangguan also slowly flew out.
He was dressed in precious and gorgeous clothes, with a jewel-studded belt around his waist. He faintly exuded an extraordinary aura, and it was obvious at first glance that it was a powerful treasure.
Including other accessories on his body, for example, the jade pendant hanging around his waist, which looks simple but is actually engraved with many complex and profound Taoist patterns.
Only those with profound cultivation can refine this kind of high-level jade pendant and engrave such profound Taoist patterns on it!
Young Master Shangguan's face was extremely cold. He had just heard the conversation outside and knew that the ethereal immortal body he was looking for was dead.
This news was like a bolt from the blue for him!
He came here with great joy to search for the ethereal immortal body, hoping that after obtaining the ethereal immortal body, his cultivation level would skyrocket, and he would be able to greatly improve his cultivation qualifications and possess a "pseudo-ethereal immortal body".
He has already calculated that once he possesses the "pseudo-ethereal immortal body", his potential will be greatly improved, and in the future, he will have more say in the family.
But the result?
When I had calculated everything and thought I was about to reach the peak as quickly as possible, I received such bad news!
Young Master Shangguan's face was extremely cold, and his eyes seemed to contain a poisoned knife, sharp and vicious!
His whole body exudes a dangerous aura that makes people shudder!
Even a strong man like Patriarch Situ was frightened after feeling the aura from him!
Below, many members of the Situ family did not know this young man, and were puzzled when they saw him appear.
This young man is handsome and has an extraordinary bearing, but this does not mean that he is qualified to stand side by side with the ancestor, right?
Looking at the whole world, who is qualified to stand side by side with the ancestor?
But soon they realized something was wrong.
Because the two men were not standing side by side, it looked more like the young man had a higher status.
Because his position was closer to the front than the ancestor, and his back was straight, he did not feel inferior to the ancestor at all, but seemed even more domineering!
Looking at the ancestor again, he instinctively lowered his head slightly to show his submission and respect to the young man.
After realizing this, the entire clan was in an uproar, with a surge of humiliation and anger in their hearts. They didn't know why the ancestor was so respectful to this young man, acting so inferior.
They really can't accept it!
Who doesn’t know that their ancestor is extremely powerful and can crush Zhongzhou, and is the best master in Zhongzhou?
Who doesn't show some courtesy when meeting the ancestor?
There has never been a time when our ancestors needed to kowtow to others!
However, although they were feeling unhappy, the members of the Situ family were not stupid enough to rashly question or scold.
No matter how much they couldn't accept it, they understood one thing: if even their own ancestors had to show respect to someone, how could the other person be of small background?
The opponent is either incredibly powerful or has an incredibly strong background.
Otherwise, how could the ancestor be so obedient and respectful?
Many members of the clan were very curious about this young man. They all wanted to know what kind of identity and background would cause the ancestor to behave like this?
"Master Shangguan!!!"
Patriarch Situ lowered his head.
Young Master Shangguan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his voice was as cold as a knife: "No matter who the opponent is, he must be made to wish he were dead! This young master will personally torture him for at least ten thousand years!!!"
Killing the ethereal immortal body ruined his plan, something Master Shangguan could no longer tolerate.
For that murderer, simply killing him would be too merciful. He would capture him and torture him madly using all the bloody methods he knew!
Only by doing this can he barely resolve the hatred in his heart!
When Patriarch Situ heard him say this, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, felt a lot more relieved.
What he was most worried about was that he would be angered by Master Shangguan. If that were the case, even he would not know what to do.
But fortunately, from what Master Shangguan said, he was not going to vent his anger on him, but instead wanted to hold the murderer accountable.
This puts him at ease.
Anyway, he wants to find the murderer and take revenge!
"This old slave will definitely capture the murderer and let you deal with him as you wish!!!"
Patriarch Situ patted his chest and shouted, making a promise in front of Master Shangguan.
Even if I cannot contribute my ethereal immortal body to Master Shangguan, I must at least play a small role and let Master Shangguan see that I am still useful.
However, everyone below was stunned.
They suspected that they had just seen it wrong and were hallucinating.
"What did I just see? The ancestor actually...actually called himself an old slave? How could he accept such a humiliating name?!"
"Ancestor, is this still the Ancestor we know?!"
"How could the ancestor of our family become someone else's slave? I don't accept it! I don't accept it!!!"
All the tribesmen were roaring in their hearts. They felt that all this was too disillusioning. In their minds, the ancestor was an invincible figure in the world, the strongest person who suppressed the entire era!
He is the epitome of invincibility, and no one dares to go against the ancestor's wishes.
As a result, he actually called himself an "old slave"?
Isn't this what the servants and servants in the house would call themselves?
Isn’t it too embarrassing?
Everyone found it unacceptable!
However, they did not dare to say it directly. After all, even the ancestor had lowered his posture so much. If they said a few more words, the ancestor would probably kill them before the young man could even investigate.
After finding out the whereabouts of the murderer, Patriarch Situ returned to the flying warship and headed to the city with Master Shangguan.
Seeing that the flying warship had disappeared, the people of the Situ family burst into earth-shaking cheers.
"Great! The ancestor is finally going to show off our clan's power!!!"
"That murderer has been enjoying himself in Yunhe Tower recently, not taking us seriously at all! Now that the ancestor has returned, his death is coming!!!"
"They killed our people. The hatred is so great that it won't be resolved so easily!!!"
"Everyone, follow me! Although we can't help much, at least we can see the ancestor's mighty power with our own eyes!!!"
"That's right, everyone can go out with peace of mind. With the ancestor here, how could those covetous forces dare to attack us?!"
"Let them all see how powerful our ancestors are!!!"
All the tribesmen were extremely excited.
They opened the clan protection formation without hesitation and then left the clan in a swarm. The clan protection formation was used to resist foreign enemies, and it did have some effect before the ancestor returned.
But it is different now.
The ancestor has returned, so there is no need to activate this clan protection formation!
Not only do they not have to open it, they also have to go out with great fanfare, deliberately allowing people outside to see it!
The tribesmen rushed out one after another, everyone was overjoyed, with excited smiles on their faces. There was no trace of the panic of the previous few days.
Outside their tribe, there are many scouts from various major forces secretly watching them.
When they saw so many clansmen suddenly rushing out, they were stunned. They didn't know what these people from the Situ family were planning.
"What are they doing? Knowing they can't hold on any longer, they're the first to surrender???"
"How is that possible? Their ancestors haven't even appeared yet, how could they surrender?!"
"But how do we explain their actions? Could it be that their ancestor has appeared? Otherwise, they wouldn't have the courage to withdraw their defenses!!!"
“It’s very possible!!!”
The people in charge of surveillance guessed this possibility and couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.
They are only afraid of Patriarch Situ!
While they were speculating, they did hear the Situ family excitedly shouting, "The ancestor has appeared, revenge is avenged!!!"
Then, a uniform and deafening shout rang out: "Ancestor appears! Revenge! Ancestor appears, revenge!!!"
