Someone rushed to the center of the courtyard and knelt down in the direction of Ancestor Situ. His forehead was pressed against the cold ground, and his shoulders were shaking violently.
Some people held their chests and cried bitterly, with tears mixed with the dust on their faces flowing down, and they kept muttering "It's great".
There were still a few surviving elders from the collateral clan who staggered forward two steps and shouted hoarsely, "Ancestor! You are back! The senior family members... all the senior family members have been killed! The floor tiles of the meeting hall are soaked with blood!"
"Those people were so cruel that they didn't even spare a senior member of the family! Ancestor, you must avenge us!"
Cries, accusations, and pleadings were intertwined. The fear, grievance, and anger that the tribesmen had accumulated for several days completely burst the moment they saw Ancestor Situ.
Just like a drowning man grabbing a driftwood, his appearance is the only hope for the whole family.
Ancestor 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, but quickly scanned the crowd with his eyes like a hawk, identifying them one by one from the oldest to the youngest.
He is looking for the descendants of Ethereal Immortal Body!
He can accept the destruction of his family and the loss of all his people, but nothing will happen to the descendant who carries Ethereal Immortal Body!
That was Situ Household Lineage's only chance in the future, and it was the "fire" that he spent half his life trying to get.
Even if the clan members are gone, as long as the foundation remains, there will always be a day to rebuild.
But once Ethereal Immortal Body falls, Situ Household Lineage will really end the possibility of rising. Even if he is the ancestor of the family, he cannot bear this loss!
"Quiet."
He finally spoke, his old voice carrying undoubted majesty, striking like a thunder in the courtyard.
The originally noisy crying suddenly weakened. Everyone raised their heads and looked at him eagerly, waiting for his next words.
But Ancestor Situ's eyes were still locked deep in the crowd, refusing to let go of any corner.
But soon, his face became extremely ugly, even so gloomy that he looked like he could drip water.
Because, he really did not find the descendant with Ethereal Immortal Body among his tribe!
A huge wave of anger and panic swallowed him up!
Angry because he had promised Young Master Shangguan to give the descendants of Ethereal Immortal Body to Young Master Shangguan, but now he obviously can't do it!
The reason for panic is that the agreement between myself and Young Master Shangguan has failed!
I have accepted the benefits from Young Master Shangguan, but in the end, I can't deliver what I promised. Young Master Shangguan is not a good man and will not let him go!
Not to mention that my desire to hug Shangguan Household Clan's thigh was shattered, the most terrifying thing is that next, I have to face Young Master Shangguan's anger!
This is the most deadly!
Now let's think about how to explain to Young Master Shangguan!
Looking back at the huge flying warship behind me, Ancestor Situ felt miserable.
"Where is Situ Xiaoqin? Where is she? Let her come out to see me quickly!!!"
Ancestor Situ shouted at everyone, asking them to find Situ Xiaoqin. And Situ Xiaoqin was the descendant who owned Ethereal Immortal Body.
He still refused to give up and had to hear the exact news!
Hearing him asking about the whereabouts of Situ Xiaoqin, everyone at Situ Household looked at each other, as if there was some bad news and they didn't know whether they should tell it or not.
Finally, a young man cried "Wow" and cried out miserably, "Ancestor, Aunt Xiaoqin... she went with the large army to attack the person who provoked our family, but... she was killed by that person!!!"
At the end of the story, the young man burst into tears. Anyone in his family who could fight was dead.
Although he was mentally prepared, when he heard the news with his own ears, Ancestor Situ's body still shook twice. His eyes were black, his mind was dizzy, and he almost fell to the ground!
If he hadn't had a better psychological quality, he might have actually fainted.
"Ancestor, you must avenge them. They also died for our family!!!"
"Those enemies were so cruel and ruthless that they almost killed our entire family. If you hadn't come back, ancestor, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to hold on for long!!!"
"Ancestor, don't let those enemies go! Otherwise, people outside will think that we can be bullied casually!!!"
The people of Situ Household Lineage have found their backbone again and have returned to their previous arrogance and domineering nature, shouting at their ancestors that they must re-establish the majesty of the family and not let outsiders look down upon them.
Looking at the chaotic tribe, Ancestor Situ couldn't hear a word he said. He was also very upset now.
However, it's not that I feel bad for revenge, but that I feel bad because I don't know how to deal with Young Master Shangguan!
What he is most worried about now is that Young Master Shangguan is angry and will take out his anger on him.
Even though his level is so much higher than Young Master Shangguan, in front of Young Master Shangguan, he really doesn't dare to make any mistakes, for fear that if he does something inappropriate, he will offend Young Master Shangguan.
From the flying warship behind him, the tall and slender Young Master Shangguan also slowly flew out.
He was dressed in precious and gorgeous clothes, with a belt inlaid with gems around his waist. He faintly exuded an extraordinary aura, and one could tell at a glance that he was a very powerful treasure.
Including other accessories on his body, such as a jade pendant hanging on his waist, which seems simple, but is actually engraved with many complex and profound Daoist patterns.
Only those with advanced cultivation can refine such a high-level jade pendant and have such profound Daoist patterns engraved on it!
Young Master Shangguan's face was extremely cold. He had just heard the exchange outside and knew that the Ethereal Immortal Body he was looking for was dead.
This news was like a bolt from the blue to him!
I came here to look for Ethereal Immortal Body with great joy. I hope that after getting Ethereal Immortal Body, my cultivation level will skyrocket, and my cultivation qualifications will be greatly improved, with "Pseudo-Ethereal Immortal Body".
He has already calculated that after he owns "Pseudo-Ethereal Immortal Body", his potential will be greatly improved, and his voice in the family will be more important in the future.
But what's the result?
Just when I had calculated everything and thought I was about to reach the top as quickly as possible, I got such bad news!
Young Master Shangguan's face was extremely cold, and his eyes seemed to contain a poisoned knife, both sharp and sinister!
His whole body exuded a dangerous aura that made people shudder!
Even a strong man like Ancestor Situ was awed after feeling the aura on his body!
Below, many Situ Household Lineage clansmen did not recognize this young man, and they were all puzzled when they saw his appearance.
This young man has a dignified appearance and 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 ancestors?
But soon, they realized something was wrong.
Because the two of them are not standing side by side, it seems more like this young man has a higher status.
Because, his position is further forward than the ancestor, and his waist is straight. He has no intention of being inferior in front of the ancestor, but looks more domineering!
Looking at the ancestor again, he instinctively lowered his head slightly to express his surrender and respect to the young man.
After realizing this, everyone in the clan was in an uproar, with humiliation and anger welling up in their hearts. They didn't know why their ancestor was so respectful to this young man and seemed so inferior.
They really can't accept it!
Who doesn't know that their ancestor is so powerful that he can crush Central Continent and become the number one master of the Central Continent?
Whoever meets the ancestor is not always polite?
There was never a time when my ancestors had to kowtow to others!
However, even though they were feeling unhappy in their hearts, the Situ Household Lineage clansmen were not stupid enough to question and scold rashly.
No matter how much they can't accept it, they still understand one thing, that is, if someone wants to show respect to their ancestors, will the other party's background be small?
Either the opponent's strength is terrifying, or his background is astonishingly large.
Otherwise, how could the ancestor be so respectful?
Many tribesmen are very curious about this young man. They all want to know what identity and background make their ancestor behave like this?
"Young Master Shangguan!!!"
Ancestor Situ Look down.
Young Master Shangguan's eyes were full of killing intent, and his voice was as cold as a knife. "No matter who the opponent is, he must be allowed to live without dying! I will personally torture him for at least ten thousand years!!!"
Killing Ethereal Immortal Body destroyed his layout, and Young Master Shangguan couldn't bear it.
For the murderer, just killing him would be too merciful. He would catch the murderer, and then use all the bloody methods he knew to torture him crazily!
Only by doing this can he barely relieve the hatred in his heart!
Ancestor Situ When I heard what he said, my heart that had been hanging just now became much more relaxed.
What he was most worried about was that he would be angered by Young Master Shangguan. If that was the case, even he wouldn't know what to do.
But fortunately, according to Young Master Shangguan, I did not want to vent my anger on him, but instead wanted to hold the murderer accountable.
This puts him at ease.
Anyway, he wants to find the murderer and come back with revenge!
"I must catch the murderer and let him do whatever he wants!!!"
Ancestor Situ slapped his chest and shouted, making a promise in front of Young Master Shangguan.
Even if you can't contribute Ethereal Immortal Body to Young Master Shangguan, you must at least play a small role and let Young Master Shangguan see that you are still useful.
However, everyone below was already dumbfounded.
They suspected that they had just seen something wrong and were hallucinating.
"What did I just see? The ancestor actually... claimed to be an old slave? How could he be willing to accept such a humiliating term?!"
"Ancestor, is this still the ancestor we know?!"
"Why did 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 and the most powerful man who suppressed the entire era!
He is synonymous with invincibility, and no one dares to disobey the ancestor.
As a result, he actually called himself an "old slave"?
Isn't this what a servant or a servant at home would call himself?
Isn't it too shameful?
Everyone found it unacceptable!
However, they did not dare to say it directly. After all, even the ancestor had lowered his attitude so much. If he said a few more words, he would probably kill them first before the young man could hold him accountable.
After figuring out where the murderer was, Ancestor Situ returned to the flying battleship and headed for that city with Young Master Shangguan.
Seeing that the flying warship had disappeared, the people in Situ Household Lineage burst into earth-shaking cheers.
"Great! Our ancestor is finally going to show off our clan's prestige!!!"
"The murderer has been enjoying himself at Cloud Crane Tower lately and doesn't take us seriously at all! Now that the ancestor is back, his death has come!!!"
"Kill our people, the huge hatred will not be resolved so easily!!!"
"Everyone, follow me! Although we can't help much, at least we can see with our own eyes the great power of our ancestor!!!"
"That's right, everyone can go out with peace of mind. With our ancestors here, how can those covetous forces dare to attack us?!"
"Let them all see the power of our ancestors!!!"
All the tribesmen were extremely excited.
They opened the clan protection formation without hesitation, and then left the family in droves. The clan protection formation was used to defend against foreign enemies, and it did have some effect before the ancestor came back.
But it's different now.
The ancestor has returned, and there is no need to activate this clan protection formation at all!
Not only do they not need to open it, they also have to go out in a big way, deliberately letting outsiders see it!
The tribesmen came out in droves, everyone was happy, with excited smiles on their faces. Where was the panic like the previous few days?
In the outside world of their tribe, there are many whistles from various major forces secretly watching.
After they saw so many tribesmen suddenly pouring out, they were stunned, wondering what these Situ Household Lineage people were planning.
"What are they doing? They know they can't hold on anymore, so they come out and surrender first???"
"How is this possible? Their ancestor has not yet appeared, how could they surrender?!"
"But how to explain their behavior? Could it be that their ancestors have already appeared? Otherwise, they would not have the courage to remove their defenses!!!"
"It's very possible!!!"
The people responsible for tracking all guessed this possibility, and couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.
They are only afraid of Ancestor Situ!
When they were making guesses, they did hear people from Situ Household shouting excitedly, "The ancestor shows up to take revenge!!!"
Then, uniform and deafening shouts rang out, "Ancestor appears! Take revenge! Ancestor appears to take revenge!!!"
