Chapter Seventy-Two: The New Patriarch
The morning sun was full of life, and the little one was very lively after coming out of the black fog forest, running happily in front. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info No one could have imagined that such a seemingly harmless puppy could bite a second-level demon beast to death.
On the way to Yuanfeng City, the few villages that Lin Ye passed through were now deserted, and the corpses of some people outside the city who had been trampled and bitten by demon beasts could be seen everywhere, knowing that these were the consequences of yesterday's beast tide.
"Brother Ye, this is too terrible. When we passed by yesterday morning, there were still many families in this village. I didn't expect it to be just a day...... And so it became. Blame those damn monsters!"
Seeing this scene, Lin Shan was also filled with righteous indignation.
However, Lin Ye shook his head and said: "I have to blame Dong Yuanchang even more, yesterday's beast tide must have been caused by Dong Yuanchang instructing the big housekeeper Dong Kong." ”
"Yes, Brother Ye, when we return to the city, we must report Dong Yuanchang's evil deeds to the city lord and comfort the souls of these people in the sky. Lin Shan nodded and said.
Continuing to move forward, when he was about to approach Yuanfeng City, Lin Ye saw a group of old and weak women and children walking on the official road in front of him from a distance, and these people, he was very familiar.
"Aunt Seven, Aunt Hua, Brother Ye, look at it...... Those in front of us are all members of our Lin clan! how can they ...... Why don't you stay in the safety of Yuanfeng City, and all of them are out of the city? Aren't you afraid of being attacked by demon beasts?"
Lin Shan also recognized these clansmen and hurriedly said.
"I'm afraid they've been kicked out!"
Seeing these old and weak women and children, Lin Ye already knew the answer in his heart. The patriarch of each clan, when he established the clan, would leave a life card with essence blood in the prayer house. Once the body dies, the lifecard will sense it and shatter with it.
Lin Ye estimated that the officials in charge of the Prayer Mansion had seen that Lin Liangzhu's life card was broken, and the Lin clan had no other martial artists who could take over the position of patriarch, so he drove all the remaining clansmen of the Lin clan out of the city today.
Lin Liangzhu is dead, and our Lin clan has no patriarch, they must have been driven out by the people of the Prayer Mansion. However, Brother Ye, haven't you become a martial artist now, you can be the new patriarch of our Lin clan!" Lin Shan said.
"Well, Lin Liangzhu is dead, but it saves us a lot of trouble. Shanzi, let's go forward together, and let these old and weak women and children go back to Yuanfeng City with us!"
After speaking, Lin Ye and Lin Shan walked quickly towards these clansmen. And these clansmen obviously recognized Lin Ye and Lin Shanlai, and the seventh aunt that Lin Shan said before rushed forward as if she had seen a savior, grabbed Lin Shan's arm, and asked excitedly: "Shanzi! Are you Shanzi...... Shanzi, you didn't die! What about the patriarch? Is the patriarch still alive? The people from the Prayer Mansion came to our Lin clan this morning and said that the patriarch is dead, and the Lin clan has been banned and we have all been driven out......
The rest of the old and weak women and children also looked at Lin Ye and Lin Shan with expectations, the horror of yesterday's beast tide was vivid, they really didn't want to live outside the city all day long, and their safety was not guaranteed. can only hope that the patriarch Lin Liangzhu is not dead, so that they can return to Yuanfeng City again.
However, Lin Shan shook his head and said to Aunt Seven, "Aunt Seven, Lin Liangzhu is dead, and the other warrior clansmen have all died in the Black Mist Forest. Only me and Brother Ye survived. ”
"Sure enough, the patriarch is dead. Otherwise, the prayer house would not have kicked us out so quickly. But now, so many of our clansmen want to be displaced people outside the city, how can we live?"
As soon as Aunt Qi heard the news that Lin Shan had confirmed Lin Liangzhu's death, her two eyes dimmed again, and the rest of the clansmen also looked sad.
Looking at Lin Ye and Lin Shan again, Aunt Qi held the hands of the two of them and said, "Now that the Lin clan is gone, the two of you can't go back to Yuanfeng City." Why don't you join us and find a safe place to camp nearby! Hey! This wilderness is full of demon beasts, and it's really going to kill our Lin clan!"
"Aunt Seven, and all the clansmen, don't be afraid, although Lin Liangzhu is dead, but ...... Brother Ye has become a true martial artist, and we can also return to Yuanfeng City and rebuild our Lin clan. As long as Brother Ye becomes our new patriarch, our Lin clan will definitely rise again. ”
As soon as Lin Shan's words fell, all the clansmen immediately locked their eyes on Lin Ye's body. They couldn't believe that Lin Ye, the scholar who was bullied by the patriarch Lin Liangzhu and ridiculed as a powerless chicken, had become a martial artist so quickly.
Aunt Seven, who had just cried with a handful of snot and tears, widened her eyes, looked at Lin Ye, and shouted: "Lin Ye, you have become a martial artist? That Lin Liangzhu is not worthy of being the patriarch at all, if the old patriarch is still here, how can our Lin clan fall into this fate?"
"Aunt Seven, don't worry about it first. Now that I have become a martial artist, I will shoulder my responsibilities to all of you. Let's go back to Yuanfeng City now and rebuild our Lin clan. ”
Lin Ye looked at the scattered less than fifty clansmen, most of them were still old and weak, women and children, and there were less than ten men. These people were all the same as Lin Ye before, who were oppressed by Lin Liangzhu, and as for Lin Liangzhu's henchmen, all of them followed him and died in the mouth of the demon beasts of the Black Mist Forest.
"Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, Lin Ye is the new patriarch of our Lin clan. Now, let's follow the new patriarch and return to Yuanfeng City, and we want to return to the clan name of our Lin clan. ”
Aunt Qi can be said to be the most respected among the remaining Lin clansmen, and all the other clansmen obeyed Aunt Qi's words and supported Lin Ye to become the new patriarch of the Lin clan.
At this time, in Yuanfeng City, after a day of fierce battles yesterday, the entire Yuanfeng City suffered heavy losses, more than half of the soldiers defending it, and even the city lord and the two military lieutenants were seriously injured.
One of Dong Yuanchang's arms was pierced, and he was healing in the mansion, regretting that this time it was more than worth the loss to take the initiative to cause the beast tide in the Black Mist Forest. And at this time, the big housekeeper Dong Kong hurried back.
"Master, the old slave fortunately did not disgrace his life, and used the thunderstorm pill to trigger the beast tide in the Black Mist Forest, and all the martial artists of Lin Ye and the Lin clan died in the Black Mist Forest. ”
After Dong Kong caused the beast tide in the Black Mist Forest yesterday, he found a hidden place to hide, and only hurried back to Yuanfeng City today.
