Chapter 272 Getting ready

"Huh? Where?"

Chen Xingzhen asked with joy on his face.

"Hui Clan Chief, I came to report him as soon as he arrived outside the clan. He is probably still at the door of the clan now."

"good!"

Chen Xingzhen nodded and did not disturb the tribesmen's observation, but chose to walk away from the back of the crowd.

Before Chen Xingzhen reached the door of his family, Chen Xingzhen had already seen Chen Xingsong returning.

At this moment, Chen Xingsong was in ragged clothes, his hair was disheveled, and there were many scratches on his body caused by rattan and thorns. He looked extremely miserable.

But the glory on his face was even more shining than when he left the family.

"Clan leader, Xingsong has honored his mission and has successfully brought some of his clan members back."

Chen Xingsong looked excited and carefully took out the locust leaves hidden in his arms.

Although he was in a miserable state, the locust tree leaf in his hand was intact.

Chen Xingzhen's heart was filled with ups and downs when he saw this. He hurriedly stepped forward to take the locust leaf and said repeatedly:

"Okay, okay!"

"You have made great contributions to the family this time!"

With the support of two tribesmen, Chen Xingsong was sent back.

He was not seriously injured this time, but the fatigue and nervousness of the continuous journey consumed a lot of energy, and he only needed to rest for two days.

Feeling the heavy locust leaves in his hands, Chen Xingzhen also carefully put them away.

At night, when the clan members had dispersed, Chen Xingzhen came to the ancestral hall and took out the special locust leaf in his hand.

Above where Chen Xingzhen could not see, Chen Changming and many other souls had already gathered around, watching the completely black locust leaves in Chen Xingzhen's hands.

"I feel the breath of my tribe!"

"I wonder if my mother is in there!"

Several tribesmen murmured in their voices, their eyes full of expectation.

While everyone was watching, the locust leaves in Chen Xingzhen's hands rose up in the wind and slowly floated into the air.

The next moment, a dozen residual souls floated out from the locust leaves one by one.

These remnant souls are different, some are missing an arm, some are missing a leg, and some have only half of their heads. At this moment, they all have confused faces, like lonely souls.

But soon, these remnant souls seemed to be attracted by some kind of attraction, and they floated towards the locust tree above and merged into the trunk of the locust tree.

In a short time, a dozen new green fruits appeared on the locust tree!

The tribesmen have become accustomed to this scene, and they are just looking forward to it, waiting for the fruits to fall.

But when Ji Yang used his magical power, he discovered that there were two remnant souls in them that could not be integrated into the trunk of the locust tree.

Unable to condense the soul, it can be seen that these two residual souls are not from the Chen clan.

In this regard, Ji Yang could only kindly give them a ride.

These two remnant souls are a man and a woman. Although they are broken, they can still be transcended.

After Ji Yang injected soul energy into the two remnant souls, the two remnant souls quickly began to recover, and at the same time they also recovered their memories of their lives.

"Who are you? I want to go home!"

A remnant soul spoke fluently in his native dialect while looking at the unfamiliar environment around him with vigilance.

The remnant soul of another woman seems to be still immersed in the memory of the past and has never awakened.

Seeing that the two remnant souls had not come to their senses even after their memories had been restored, Ji Yang could only take the initiative to give them a lift.

But it is a pity that the soul energy contributed by these two remnant souls is almost negligible. It seems that they are also soul bodies, and the more powerful the warriors are, the more intense the soul energy and yin energy they will provide.

A soul like this can only win by numbers, but when its roots expand to the entire Mass Burial Mountain, it should be possible to gain something.

Chen Xingzhen felt relieved when he saw about ten more members of his family returning.

Although the methods of making a family stronger and increasing the population are somewhat different, no matter what the process is, as long as the result is right!

Chen Xingzhen didn't stay any longer and turned around to leave the ancestral hall.

But Chen Tianyu returned at this time. As the Xiantian realm warriors of the family, Chen Tianyu and Chen Tianjing were sent outside the family to investigate the situation and observe the movements of the Shi family. Now that Tianyu is back, he must have discovered something.

Without waiting for Chen Xingzhen to ask, Chen Tianyu said solemnly:

"Clan leader, outside the mass burial mountain, we discovered the movements of the Shi family! However, it seems that the people who came this time were not the main force of the Shi family, but Xiantian realm warriors, who seemed to be here to observe the family's movements."

Chen Xingzhen was not surprised after hearing this. The family knew that they would send people out to investigate the situation, so the Shi family should not be inactive.

"Have you ever found out their exact location?"

Chen Xingzhen asked with deep eyes.

Chen Tianyu shook his head:

"The people sent by the Shi family this time are of a high level, and their strength is probably higher than that of me and Tianjing. We can only use the sacred locust tree leaves to investigate, but we can't find any specific traces of them!"

Chen Xingzhen frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

"It doesn't matter, let's ask my father to send some tribesmen to check."

"You continue to observe the area where they are, and I will ask Qingyu to come over later."

After hearing this, Chen Tianyu's eyes lit up:

"Clan leader, are you preparing..."

Chen Xingzhen nodded:

"Well, the person coming this time must be a Xiantian realm warrior of the Shi family, and also a core member of the Shi family. The family is weak. If the Shi family waits for a large-scale attack, the family may not have a chance to breathe. Instead of waiting passively, it is better to strike first. , and deal with the people from the Shi family who came to inquire about the news. This will not only weaken the strength of the Shi family, but also gain more hope for victory for the family in the future!"

After listening to what Chen Xingzhen said, Chen Tianyu's eyes became brighter. The people that the Shi family came to investigate this time were isolated and helpless. If they could be dealt with in the mass grave mountain, it would indeed be much smoother for the family in the future.

Chen Tianyu, who had figured it out, nodded immediately, turned around and left the family, ready to prepare for the next battle!

In the ancestral hall, Chen Changming also listened to the conversation between the two people below, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He was relieved to hand over the position of the patriarch to Chen Xingzhen.

But as a father, he couldn't fall behind.

The next moment, Chen Changming's face had a trace of the majesty of the clan leader, and he immediately ordered:

"Xingba, you take a few clan members to search from the north of the family."

"Xinghe, you take a few clan members to search from the south of the family."

"Xingjian, you go to the east, I'll take care of the west!"

"But you must remember that the innate realm warriors can already sense the existence of the soul, so don't get too close. If you find anything, just watch from a distance and confirm their location, don't alarm them! Leave the rest to Qingyu and the others."

"Yes, clan leader!"

Several people answered in unison.

But just as everyone was about to set off, there was a tremor on the branches of the locust tree above their heads.

During the tremor, several locust leaves quickly fell down and landed in the hands of Chen Changming and the others.

"Thank you for the help of the sacred tree!"

Chen Xingba and the others were delighted. With the help of the sacred tree, they could take action, so the matter would be much safer, and there was no need to worry about those people running away!

Chen Changming bowed respectfully, but he reminded everyone again, asking them not to be careless, and not to use the locust leaves unless it was a critical moment, and save them for next time.

After all, the power of the family sacred tree was not infinite, so it was better to save it if possible.
