Chapter 46 The Patriarch is Crazy Again

Such a big thing happened in the family, why is the patriarch not here? This makes no sense!

Clan leader?

The tribesman whose cry was interrupted scratched his head, seeming to recall where the tribe leader was.

But soon, he remembered it, pointed at the figure in the front and said:

"Isn't that right?"

The three of them looked in the direction he pointed, with a hint of astonishment on their faces.

They hadn't noticed it just now, but now when they saw the figure from behind, wasn't this the clan leader they were looking for?

But this made a few people feel colder. They had not been in the clan for a few days. They did not expect such a big thing to happen in the clan. Looking at the family sacred tree, their whole bodies changed even more. What on earth is going on?

Has the patriarch gone crazy again?

Ahead, Chen Xingzhen's emotions gradually calmed down.

When the family migrated here all the way, it was my father who led the family members through all the obstacles.

It took more than twenty years for the family to leave their original location and arrive at the Mass Burial Mountain.

During this period, the family also stayed in other places, but failed due to various resistances, and finally came to Mass Burial Mountain to thrive.

In those more than twenty years, the family elders passed away one after another, and he also went from a boy of about ten years old to the age of sixty now.

Ever since he became the patriarch of the family, he didn't know how much responsibility and expectations he had shouldered.

Family responsibilities and expectations made him dare not stop for a moment.

Every time he recalled the time he spent growing up under the wings of his father and many elders, he missed it even more.

It was precisely because of this that when he saw Ging Guo who looked like his father, he suddenly lost his composure.

This emotion was so intense that it made him forget his current status as a clan leader.

However, Chen Tianjing's questioning voice just behind him made him regain his senses.

Now that he is the leader of the clan, how could he be so outrageous?

And seeing his father and some family elders again today also made him fulfill the last wish in his heart.

Chen Xingzhen, who had regained his status as the clan leader, quickly wiped away the tears on his face, and then stood up slowly with a calm expression, as if the old man who just covered his face and cried was someone else.

"Quiet!"

After regaining his composure, Chen Xingzhen turned to look at the other tribesmen, slowly raised his hand to stop the tribesmen from crying, and then said with a solemn expression:

"It is a critical moment for the sacred tree to give birth to the sacred fruit. From today onwards, the ancestral hall will be temporarily closed, and no one in the clan will disturb the sacred tree!"

"Anyone who needs to worship the sacred tree must do so with my permission."

…

After issuing several orders, Chen Xingzhen once again restored the majesty of the clan leader, and the clan members below had no objections. Today, they were able to catch a glimpse of the deceased elders in their family, which also made them feel a lot calmer.

However, many tribesmen are still a little curious about these ginkgo fruits, but now that the ancestral hall is temporarily closed, they have no other choice.

At the gate of the ancestral hall, Chen Tianjing and the others, who were still a little flustered at first, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

Fortunately, the patriarch is not crazy yet, and the family can still be saved.

"Tianjing, have you ever traced the whereabouts of the Li family?"

After many clan members retreated from the ancestral hall, Chen Xingzhen asked the three people who came back.

Hearing Chen Tianjing ask about business, the three of them also hurriedly replied:

"Clan leader, I traveled all the way to the southeast and searched for more than a hundred miles, but I didn't find any remnants of the Li family."

"Clan leader, I searched all the way to the northwest, but I didn't find anyone from the Li family."

Chen Xingzhen listened to the two people's reports quietly, his expression as usual.

Although the Li family was defeated and fled, they had been operating in the Burial Mountain for a long time. If there were no secret passages or hiding places, he would definitely not believe it.

However, after the two men had been tracking for so long, they still found no trace of the group, which showed that the Li family had other ideas.

They also inquired about the group of people who caught the Li family's abandonment, but did not get any results. It can be seen that Li Yongcheng did not tell them, and even those people themselves did not know that they had been abandoned.

Only by hiding it from your tribe can you hide it from your enemies.

"I've made some discoveries here."

Chen Qingyu's words instantly attracted the attention of three people.

"After discovering the hiding place of the Li family, we only found one path. It can be seen that the Li family had not dispersed at that time, so I followed the footsteps of the Li family members that I found a few days ago, and finally found a path. Some traces were found in Chadao.”

"Well, Qingyu, keep talking."

Chen Xingzhen nodded after hearing this.

"Although the traces were slight and even actively covered up, there were still some flaws left. I tracked them all the way and finally arrived within the hunting range of the Li family's mass burial mountain."

Hearing this, Chen Xingzhen suddenly realized.

So that was the case, so he asked why the family sent so many people to search, but still no clues were found.

You must know that even if the Li family abandoned a group of people, there are still about twenty people left. The traces of so many people cannot be completely hidden.

Now it seems that everything has the answer, they actually entered the mass burial mountain!

Chen Xingzhen had not thought about this before. After all, there were many dangers in the Mass Burial Mountain. Not only were there many ferocious beasts, but there were also snakes, insects, rats, and ants among them. The terrain was complex and rugged and difficult to navigate.

Even a warrior would not move forward rashly without some preparation.

Although the Li family took away the only remaining elites in the clan, they were not too old and did not have much experience. Moreover, it was difficult to bring so many clan members through the Mass Burial Mountain. It cannot be said in one word.

Thinking of this, Chen Xingzhen sighed again:

"Li Yongcheng is a man of great courage!"

"Patriarch, should we continue to pursue?"

Chen Tianjing asked.

Although the Li family fled to the mass grave, the family hatred may not fade away for a hundred years. If it is not eradicated, it may be detrimental to the future development of the family.

Chen Xingzhen thought for a while after hearing this, then shook his head slowly:

"Don't chase after a desperate enemy. The terrain of the Burial Mountain is complex, and there are many fierce beasts in the mountain, which are difficult to track. In addition, Li Yongcheng and Li Cailiang are both good hunters. They are likely to have set traps along the way."

"Besides, it has been a long time. I think they have already walked half of the way. If we continue to chase them, it will be disadvantageous to the family."

Chen Tianjing frowned slightly:

"But clan leader, should we just let them go? We can enter the Burial Mountain through the family secret passage and block their way in advance!"

After hearing this, Chen Xingzhen smiled indifferently:

"His Li family is just a defeated general, so what if he brings his clansmen? Now that the crisis of my Chen family has passed, and there is also the help of the sacred tree, can't the future development be better than his Li family?"

"Besides, fierce beasts are rampant in the Burial Mountain, and there is also the innate blue wolf in the depths. What should they do if they encounter it?"

After hearing what Chen Xingzhen said, the three of them suddenly understood.

Yes, they almost forgot about the innate blue wolf.

And the family also has the sacred tree. Even if it is developing silently, how can his Chen family be weaker than the Li family?

Thinking of the sacred tree, several people can't help but turn their heads to look.

"Patriarch, the sacred tree..."
