Chapter 73: Great-Grandmother's Task

Spent some time hastily packing up the demon beast corpses in the defense area.

Fourteenth Uncle had already led several clansmen to roughly organize the corpses of the twenty-two fallen clansmen. They could only roughly organize them; many couldn't find the complete corpses.

All the clansmen spontaneously formed a circle. No one spoke, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive, and some people made low sobbing sounds; they should have close relatives and friends who had fallen here.

Although cultivators were transcendent, in the final analysis, they were just mortals who had mastered powerful strength. They also had seven emotions and six desires, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and also had selfishness and distracting thoughts!

Especially looking at the uncles who were hunting and laughing together a few days ago, now lying on the cold ground, could they truly realize the cruelty and ruthlessness of the cultivation world!

Lin Zhangqing deeply imprinted this scene in his mind, telling himself to always remember everything today, to spur himself not to stop moving forward.

In this cruel cultivation world, only by possessing powerful strength could one protect what one wanted to protect and do what one wanted to do!

At this time, the Clan Leader and Grandfather returned. Seeing that although they looked tired, they didn't suffer any injuries, Lin Zhangqing felt relieved.

In this way, the sixty-one cultivators of the Lin family who survived were all present.

After the Clan Leader was silent for a while, he said, "The more than 100,000 demon beasts that attacked this time have basically been annihilated, except for a few flying demon beasts.

According to past experience, after this beast tide, there shouldn't be any more with such high intensity, only some scattered demon beasts that haven't formed a scale!"

Hearing what the Clan Leader said, although the occasion was inappropriate, everyone couldn't help but let out bursts of cheers. After all, this time was truly too dangerous, life and death were on the line, and no one wanted to experience it again.

The Clan Leader continued, "However, just in case, during this period, everyone must still leave half for the clansmen to guard and defend in the clan's defense area.

This time everyone should thank Qing'er. Everyone should have received his help, right? Including Xiao Xiang and me, we all received Qing'er's help. This time, if it weren't for him, at least half more people would have fallen here.

I just came from other defense areas, and every area was heavily damaged, and some families only had seven or eight people left, and scattered cultivators were not even one in ten, almost completely annihilated.

This beast tide had the smallest casualties for our family, so there will definitely be people coming to investigate the reason later.

I only have one requirement for everyone, which is not to spread any of Qing'er's affairs.

Whoever spreads it will be treated as treason against the clan. At that time, I will definitely not be soft-hearted. Do you all hear me?

If there are truly outsiders coming to investigate the reason, just say that this time the family and cultivators were fully prepared in advance."

Hearing the Clan Leader's words, the uncles present solemnly expressed their agreement and would definitely abide by the Clan Leader's instructions, and took a heavy oath to guarantee that they would not spread any of Lin Zhangqing's affairs.

"Everyone, go in batches to exchange for contribution points first! Xiao Xiang, you first collect the corpses of the fallen clansmen, seal their belongings, and also pack up the demon beasts they killed and exchange them for contribution points.

Then convert them into clan contribution points and return them to their families! Also, arrange the rotation of guards." After speaking, the Clan Leader beckoned to Lin Zhangqing.

The two walked to the side, and the Clan Leader said, "Qing'er, you did very well this time. The reward will be given to you after we discuss it when we return to the Ancestral Mountain."

"Thank you, Clan Leader. This is what I should do. I can't just watch the clansmen die in front of me when I clearly have the ability," Lin Zhangqing said helplessly.

The Clan Leader laughed, "This beast tide having Qing'er is a great fortune for the clan. At that time, your grandfather said he wanted you to participate in the conscription, but I didn't agree. Fortunately, he insisted that you participate."

Lin Zhangqing touched his head and said, "Grandfather has never mentioned this."

The Clan Leader nodded and continued, "This time it will inevitably be noticed by people with ulterior motives. Qing'er, you must be careful yourself. It's best not to run around everywhere. It's best to stay in a safe place."

"I understand, Clan Leader, don't worry, I won't joke with my own safety," Lin Zhangqing said earnestly.

Hearing Lin Zhangqing say this, the Clan Leader nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's best. Anyway, don't give others a chance to covet it.

I see you are still full of energy, so stay and guard the defense area first!"

Lin Zhangqing, upon hearing this, said helplessly, "Clan Leader, after this battle, many of the scorpion group are injured. I want to go back and treat them first."

The Clan Leader, upon hearing this, hurriedly said, "Then go back with me later! It will be safer this way." "That's great, thank you, Clan Leader!" Lin Zhangqing hurriedly thanked the Clan Leader.

After explaining to Father and Second Uncle, they were going to exchange the demon beast corpses for contribution points, so Lin Zhangqing didn't go with them.

After a while, the Clan Leader and Grandfather walked over, and the three of them walked toward the residence together.

On the way, Grandfather patted Lin Zhangqing on the shoulder and said, "Well done, Qing'er, you did very well. Grandfather is proud of you! Bringing you here was the most correct decision Grandfather made."

Lin Zhangqing was a bit embarrassed and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just did what I could!"

The Clan Leader spoke up then, "You have already done very well. In fact, ever since Qing'er took out the Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine last time, I have had an idea, which is that I want Qing'er to be this Clan Leader. What do you think?"

Lin Zhangqing, upon hearing this, hurriedly refused, "No, no, I have never thought about it. This is too outrageous."

Grandfather also shook his head and said, "Too young, it might be suitable in another twenty or thirty years."

The Clan Leader also sighed and said, "Indeed a bit young. If he were ten years older, it would be fine."

He glanced at Lin Zhangqing and continued, "By the way, after this beast tide ends and we return to Qingyun City, Qing'er, go with me to see Great-Grandmother!"

Grandfather said with some surprise, "What does the Clan Leader mean?"

The Clan Leader nodded and said, "That's right. This time seeking Great-Grandmother, her meaning is to find a descendant under 18 years old in the Lin family with outstanding cultivation and combat power to do something for her.

Originally I wanted Lin Changyuan to go, but now it seems Qing'er is more suitable."

"Is it to help Great-Grandmother do something? Her disciples and grand-disciples should also be quite a few, right? It shouldn't be that she lacks people to send!" Lin Zhangqing didn't want to go a bit. He only wanted to return to Nine Peaks Mountain now and continue to cultivate until the Foundation Establishment stage before saying anything else.

Grandfather patted Lin Zhangqing lightly and said earnestly, "Your Great-Grandmother has protected the Lin family for several hundred years, which can be said to be a great kindness to the Lin family.

It's rare that there is something for the Lin family to do. You must do your best to complete it. Don't lose the face of the Lin family."

Alright, since he couldn't change it, he could only accept it.

Lin Zhangqing simply agreed readily, guaranteeing that he would definitely complete the task Great-Grandmother entrusted. Only then did the Clan Leader and Grandfather feel relieved.

After returning to the residence, Lin Zhangqing habitually used his divine sense to check every place, and after confirming it was safe, he entered the space.

As soon as he entered, the Lu Youqiang family surrounded him. It seemed that after eating the Vermilion Fruit, Lu Youqiang also tasted the sweetness. Now the whole family was quite enthusiastic, and Lu Xiaoling even came over to rub Lin Zhangqing's hand.

Lin Zhangqing certainly wouldn't be polite, directly holding Lu Xiaoling in his arms and smoothing its fur. After a period of contact, now it was already very familiar with Lin Zhangqing, and also knew that the master wouldn't hurt it.

So every time he came in, Lu Xiaoling was the first to run to welcome him.

This point was a bit like The First. During this period of time, Lin Changqing also specially contacted the Lu Youqiang family more to cultivate feelings. Lin Changqing believed that as long as both sides had feelings, even if Lu Youqiang and the others became powerful in the future, they wouldn't easily resist Lin Changqing.

Lin Zhangqing didn't forget the main business, released the more than 100 injured Purple Crystal Scorpions, and Lu Youqiang and Lu Xiaoya were scared to run far away. The Lu Xiaoling in his arms was also scared to tremble.

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly comforted it. It seemed that it had a very deep impression of the Purple Crystal Scorpion, and it was also right. This kind of depth could only be experienced by those who had been stung.

Hurriedly explained to them through the contract that they would all be partners fighting together in the future, and they were not allowed to hurt each other, telling them not to worry. This time it was to ask the Lu Youqiang family to help treat the Purple Crystal Scorpions.

After explaining for a long time, Lu Youqiang and the others slowly approached, and then stood in a relatively far place to cast the Spring Return Technique, which made Lin Zhangqing cry and laugh. However, the Purple Crystal Scorpions that had cast the Spring Return Technique were indeed a bit better.

Because the number of injured Purple Crystal Scorpions was truly too many, the Lu Youqiang family spent a long time treating them all once.

After feeding Lu Youqiang and the others a Spirit Nurturing Pill each, he patrolled the places where spirit medicines were planted everywhere, didn't find any problems, and exited the space.
