Chapter 239 Death Quota

The next day, in the family ancestral hall, several fresh corpses were quickly produced in the family's special secret ritual.

The family's secret ritual is not complicated, it just needs some special medicinal materials and the blood of the clan members. However, the family had already considered this aspect when collecting medicinal materials in the mass grave mountain, so it only needs to settle for a few days after it is produced before it can be used.

Everyone's physique is different. The higher the realm, the faster the precipitation.

After the ritual of several people's bodies was completed, a new clan rule was added to the family.

Every time a family war occurs, there are only three death quotas.

Chen Xingzhen's explanation for this is that the family's sacred tree has limited divine power and cannot revive too many clan members in a short period of time. He hopes that all clan members will cherish their lives and stay away from risks.

As soon as this clan rule came out, the plans of some older clan members were broken.

Three quotas, this is too few.

If you die a little late, it will not be a waste of death.

After dealing with the follow-up matters of the war, the stagnant construction of the Chen family is about to come to an end.

With the cooperation of many villagers and clansmen, the Chen family is now completely renewed.

From a distance, the Chen family is now the size of a city. There are patrol posts on the high outer walls. Even for a Xiantian warrior, it is not easy to sneak into the family quietly.

With this outer wall, there is no need to worry about outsiders snooping into the family at will.

Inside the family, various newly built houses are scattered in an orderly manner. In the streets and alleys, there are wide roads paved with bluestone slabs, which can accommodate carriages. This is to facilitate transportation within the family.

Under the bluestone slabs, there are grooves for drainage.

Compared with the previous family, the family now covers a much larger area than before, and the family can accommodate thousands of people.

This is considered in advance for the future of the family, but there is still a long way to go.

At night, in the ancestral hall, the dense locust trees emit a bright light, which is beautiful, but these lights have been blocked by the surrounding walls, and only the bright moon above the head is clearly visible.

In the ancestral hall, after offering sacrifices to the ancestral tablet, Chen Xingzhen turned to the space behind the tablet.

This place is quite spacious. Originally, there was only a broken body of the ancestor, but now, there are several new bodies.

They are the clansmen who died last time. After a week of settling, the bodies of these corpses have become extremely hard, even the hair is no exception, but their eyes are dull, and now they are just a body without soul.

Now they can be successfully controlled with the help of the family secret method, but only the blood of the Chen family can be controlled.

Chen Xingzhen slowly stepped forward and checked the bodies of these clansmen. Seeing that they were almost all settled, Chen Xingzhen nodded with satisfaction.

This time, a total of six clansmen were sacrificed, including three members of the Tempering Body Realm.

According to the previous rules of the family, members of the Tempering Body Realm were not qualified to be sacrificed.

However, considering that the family now has enough space and in order to satisfy the wishes of the clan members, Chen Xingzhen made an exception and changed the clan rules. In the future, all the bodies of the clan members who died can be sacrificed and placed in the family ancestral hall to be revered by the younger generations.

Although the bodies of these members of the Tempering Realm are not strong after the sacrifice, the family is short of manpower now, and occasionally taking out a lot of blood rice and chopping trees is also a good choice.

After checking it out, Chen Xingzhen looked at the ancestor who was only half of the body left, with full respect in his eyes.

Although the body of this ancestor is already broken, the only remaining hand and foot were also broken in the last battle with the Li family. Even on his face, there are countless traces left by swords and knives, and it is no longer possible to distinguish the original appearance.

But Chen Xingzhen vaguely remembers the identity of this ancestor.

The ancestor's name is Chen Zhifan, who is two generations older than his father. He is also one of the few innate warriors when the family migrated.

All along, thanks to this family elder, otherwise the family would not be where it is today.

Although the ancestor can no longer be used, the ancestor's body and spirit are worthy of the family's long-term worship.

Chen Xingzhen put away his somewhat worried mood, left the room, and came to the shade of the trees outside.

The new family has been built, and the blood rice in the family has been planted. Even the mass grave mountain is now controlled by the family. Which places are rich in certain medicinal materials and which areas are distributed with certain beasts are all recorded by the family.

Some mature medicinal materials will be sent to Yong'an City for sale in exchange for jade coins to buy the materials needed by the family, and the other part will be kept for the family to use.

Although most of the family members can't use it now, there are villagers around the mass grave mountain who come to the family from time to time to ask for medicine. The family is not stingy about this.

In addition, the family's blacksmith shop is now much larger in scale, and the iron ore resources in the mass grave mountain are still rich, so the experience of the family members has also increased a lot.

According to the clan members, in about a month, the family will be able to forge a hundred-forged ironware.

A hundred-forged ironware can initially transmit the blood and qi in the warrior's body, and can also improve the normal combat.

In Yong'an City, a hundred-forged ironware is nothing, but for the current family, it is a big improvement.

In addition, the progress of the young people in the family is also remarkable. Although many members of the family have not yet mastered the combat skills, their practical ability has been improved under the guidance of the two martial arts masters. The daily classes in the school have also enriched their thinking. Many people have made new breakthroughs in self-understanding.

Overall, the family is developing in the direction of prosperity in all aspects. Perhaps it will not take decades, but only a dozen years, for the family to expand its overall scale several times.

But people who do not think about the future will have immediate worries.

The strength shown by the family this time has even exceeded the strength of the family. After all, the situation was complicated at the time, and Chen Qingyu also used that combat skill to the extreme, which solved the enemy.

And this time the Shi family lost a great warrior in the innate realm, and they will definitely not give up. It will not be so simple next time.

The key is that there has been no news from the Shi family recently, and it seems that the Shi family is silent.

But Chen Xingzhen knows that under this silence, there must be a more violent storm brewing.

But now the family has almost reached its limit in all aspects, and there will be no new breakthroughs in a short period of time. Even the new crop of blood rice will take more than two months to harvest.

Facing the unknown future, Chen Xingzhen does not know how the family should strengthen its strength and deal with the risks in the future.

Perhaps, it can only rely on the name of the Zhou family to make the enemy afraid?
