Getting the Clansmen Used to Bloodshed; Kong Wenxuan's Status
Chencang's new work is here, updated first across the entire network!
Kong Wenxuan led the Second Elder and others to the ruins of "Demon-Suppressing Pass". The group saw that the "Demon-Suppressing Pass" was littered with the corpses of Demon Beast and birds, with blood flowing everywhere. There were traces of battle and destruction everywhere, and their expressions changed several times.
Second Elder Kong Changlan was alright. When she was young, she followed the clan leader and participated in many battles. She didn't react much to the battlefield, corpses, and slaughter. At most, she was just amazed by the number of Demon Beast and bird corpses in the field.
In contrast, the second aunt Kong Yujin, the fourth uncle Kong Yuzhen, and the third sister Kong Wencheng performed much worse. Not only were their faces pale, but they were also swaying precariously from the overwhelming blood and Sha Qi aura in the ruins. After getting off the "Feather Boat", they were all weak and almost collapsed to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Kong Wenxuan couldn't help but shake his head slightly. The Kong Household's previous inheritance, the "Peacock Soul-Bewitching Scripture," was mostly skilled in illusion techniques, and most of the bloodline cultivators in the clan were not good at fighting.
Therefore, most of the clan's members learn cultivation techniques such as Spirit Plant Technique, weapon crafting, and spiritual brewing, excelling in logistics and manufacturing but neglecting combat and fighting.
In the entire Lineage, only ten cultivators, including the eldest uncle, third aunt, fifth uncle, and eldest brother, were able to be sent to serve at "Demon-Suppressing Pass." There weren't even any cultivators available for rotation and recuperation.
Even within the Lineage, the members of the Clan Law Hall and the patrol team, under the command of the Third Elder Kong Changfeng, are usually responsible for guarding the clan's territory, "Peacock Ridge," and occasionally killing newly born Demon Race or enemies who have wandered into the territory. They are already considered capable fighters.
This clearly demonstrates the lack of fighting power within the "Peacock" Kong Household!
For a time, Kong Wenxuan became increasingly pessimistic about continuing to expand his territory southward and build "Peacock County".
"Perhaps, choosing this ' Demon-Suppressing Pass ' as our territory and building ' Peacock County ' would be a better choice?"
A thought flashed through Kong Wenxuan's mind.
Over there, Second Elder Kong Changlan, who had disembarked from the "Feather Boat" first, looked at the behavior of the three people he had brought with him, and his face immediately turned cold. He snorted and said, "Look at yourselves, where is the semblance of disciples from a ' Ninth-Grade True Spirit ' Lineage?"
"It's just some Demon Beast corpses, and you're all so scared! I bet you've been lying at home all these years, living too comfortably!"
"With your useless state, how can we expect the Lineage to develop and expand its territory? What a joke! You're lucky if you don't drag the Lineage down!"
"Get out of here and deal with the Demon Beast corpses! Each person must process at least one hundred!"
"Yes!"
"Yes, sir!"
Second Kong Yujin, Fourth Uncle Kong Yuzhen, and Third Tier Kong Wencheng were all filled with shame. Upon hearing the Second Elder's order, they immediately obeyed, took out tools from their Storage Bag, and gritted their teeth as they walked towards the corpses of the Demon Beast.
"Yuyin, you don't need to bother with this. Leave it to your sister and the others. You've already fought and battled for the Lineage enough. Take a rest for now."
After instructing Kong Yujin and the others on their tasks, Second Elder Kong Changlan hurriedly called to the service team members to take a break.
The second aunt Kong Yujin, and the third aunt Kong Yuyin, are twin sisters. They advised them to rest first and leave the task of dealing with the Demon Beast corpses to them.
However, the third aunt Kong Yuyin, and the others did not immediately agree. Instead, they all looked at Kong Wenxuan and asked for his opinion.
Clearly, Kong Wenxuan's combat prowess and performance had already Qi Ingestion the members of the Lineage service squad, making him Lineage leader.
The Second Elder Kong Changlan, smiled upon seeing this, but didn't say much. Based on Kong Wenxuan's Foundation Establishment cultivation and his achievements in Star Inlaying for the Lineage and pushing the Lineage back to the position of "Ninth-Grade True Spirit," it wouldn't be a problem to ask the clan leader Kong Changgeng, to step down and hand over the position to Kong Wenxuan.
Moreover, he currently only holds leadership of a service squad.
Kong Wenxuan didn't think anything was wrong. When he saw his aunt and the others looking at him and asking for his opinion, he nodded in agreement.
So, the third aunt, fifth uncle, ninth uncle, eldest brother and others left the disposal of the Demon Beast corpses in the field to the second aunt, fourth uncle and others, while they retreated to the side to rest.
The Second Elder, Kong Changlan, then looked at Kong Wenxuan and said, "The Lineage has enjoyed decades of peace, and most of these younger cultivators have not experienced much war or bloodshed. They have all developed such weak personalities, which is extremely detrimental to the Lineage's development."
"Wenxuan, my idea is for you to make several trips and send all the young masters and ladies from the Lineage affairs hall, warehouse, and even the logistics departments like the clan school and lecture hall to the front line of ' Demon-Suppressing Pass.' Even if you don't let them participate in the battle and slay Demon Beast, at least let them see blood and get used to the murderous Sha Qi and carnage of the battlefield."
"Otherwise, even if the Lineage successfully achieves the Star Inlaying and advances to the ' Ninth-Grade True Spirit ' level, it would be wishful thinking for them to develop, grow stronger, or even establish their own ' Kong Household Peacock County '."
Upon hearing this, Kong Wenxuan looked at his second aunt and fourth uncle, who were dealing with the Demon Beast's corpse. He could see that their bodies and hands were still stiff and trembling as they handled the body, their faces contorted with clenched teeth, clearly enduring the pain. He nodded and said:
"It's time to let our people see blood."
As Kong Wenxuan spoke, he prepared to sail the "Feather Boat" back to his Lineage, bringing more clansmen to witness the bloodshed and test their courage.
"Wait a minute..." Second Elder Kong Changlan stopped him, saying, "Didn't you say there was still half Third Tier Demon Race Earth Dragon's corpse? Where is it? This is a good thing, I want to deal with it myself!"
As the Second Elder, Kong Changlan, spoke, his eyes gleamed, and his face was full of eager anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Kong Wenxuan immediately smiled and said, "If the Second Elder is willing to handle this personally, that would be even better. I was worried that my clumsy hands might ruin such a good thing."
As he spoke, he led the Second Elder Kong Changlan, to the half-destroyed Earth Dragon corpse and said, "This is it."
The half-destroyed Earth Dragon corpse, because it had been burned by the fire of the Ya Zhaoying, was covered with black ash and charred skin left by the fire. Lying there, it looked like a piece of charred tree, inconspicuous.
Upon seeing this, Second Elder Kong Changlan's face immediately showed heartache. He stepped forward and stroked the wound, saying, "How did it get burned like this? What a waste of such a precious thing..."
Kong Wenxuan quickly waved his hand and said, "This was burned by Senior Ya Zhaoying, Purple Mansion Ya Zhaoying from the ' Fire Crow Ya Household, when he killed this Third Tier Demon Race Earth Dragon. If Senior hadn't put away the flames afterward, this half of the Earth Dragon's corpse would have been burned to ashes."
Upon hearing this, Second Elder Kong Changlan's expression immediately hardened. He said no more and instead patiently and carefully dealt with the charred Earth Dragon's corpse.
The methods and affairs of a senior Purple Mansion an "Eighth-Grade True Spirit" Lineage are not something a mere Qi Refinement cultivator from a newly promoted "Ninth-Grade True Spirit" Lineage like her could spout nonsense.
