The once prosperous Chi clan had unimaginable power.
According to the memories that Qin Yu could spy on, the Chi clan before being exiled was even more powerful than the Jiang clan at its peak, as the elders of the Jiang clan said, and could be called the first of the three major tribes.
Then, such a powerful Chi tribe was destroyed almost overnight.
There is more than one enemy to destroy the Chi family.
In that blurry memory image, what Qin Yu saw was an overwhelming number of enemies occupying the entire field of vision.
Among them, the divine patterns shining with purple-gold and red-gold light appear particularly vivid.
There were even some figures with lines on their bodies that looked very familiar to Qin Yu.
The reason why the Chi clan was able to preserve the last fire was because the former great elder of the Chi clan was also one of the strongest people in the tribe.
At the last moment, he made an agreement with someone at a certain cost, his own life.
Under that man's intervention, the Chi clan left the last spark of fire.
But he had to be thrown into the desolate wilderness.
Even if the root cause cannot be eradicated immediately, the enemy still hopes that the Chi family will never be reincarnated.
All the strong men were killed, leaving only one person, the elder.
He was seriously injured in that battle, but he survived to the end and was able to lead his people into the desolate wilderness with the Chi clan's token at the cost of having all his cultivation level sealed.
For a supreme powerhouse, being seriously injured, having all his cultivation abilities sealed, and being in the desolate wilderness is a more cruel torture than dying.
But in order to protect and guide these last fires, the elders did not hesitate.
For countless years after entering the desolate wilderness, because his cultivation was sealed, he could not take action, nor could he heal his injuries. His energy, blood and soul power were constantly being lost. The only way to make up for it was to devour the remains of his clansmen.
The power of the same bloodline of the tribe can delay and compensate for the deterioration of the injury.
Therefore, the only thing the elders can do over the years is to continuously devour the remains of the clansmen to delay the loss of Qi and blood, and make them into blood crystals to supply to other clansmen and guide the clansmen on their path.
The elders used the utmost cruelty to their tribesmen and themselves to maintain the Chi clan to this day. They still maintain the pride and heritage of the Chi clan without being destroyed or reduced to the same barbarians as those in the wilderness.
In the course of these countless years, there have been tribesmen with such talent as Chi Ji, but in the end they were unable to awaken their ancestral patterns, and their bloodline collapsed and died. Their bloodline also turned into the power of the elders, allowing him to continue to support him.
Fortunately, until the oil finally ran out, the last hope of Chi Ji finally appeared.
The elder finally reached his limit, entrusted everything to Chi Ji, and disappeared completely.
It's not that he doesn't want to leave more to Chi Ji, but that now, that's all he can leave behind.
Suppressing his surging heart, Qin Yu stood up.
Both Chi Ji and him still have many doubts.
Why was the Chi clan destroyed? Among those who destroyed the Chi clan, Qin Yu believed that he undoubtedly saw the shadows of Xuanyuan and Jiang clan. Did they really betray their compatriots?
Who is the person who made the agreement with the great elder?
The memory of the person who saved the Chi clan also only has a vague shadow in his remnant soul.
But for some reason, this shadow made Qin Yu feel familiar.
It was as if Qin Yu had seen that blurry face before.
Where exactly is it?
Qin Yu tried hard to remember, but couldn't remember it.
Fortunately, the elder may have known that he could not leave all his memories to Chi Ji and let him pass on all the truth, so he left a location in his last memory.
That is the ancestral land of the Chi family. If Chi Ji can break out of the desolate wilderness and go to the ancestral land, he can get the answer in the ancestral land.
This memory was not only left to Chi Ji, but also to Qin Yu.
A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
If he leaves this illusion, he will also look for opportunities to go to the Chi family's ancestral home in his memory.
Chi Ji's doubts were also his doubts, maybe he had even more doubts.
Even if countless years have passed, Qin Yu still has to go there to find out whether the answer is still there.
He had some premonitions.
Perhaps these ancient truths are equally important to Qin Yu or Xuanyuan Xingchen.
After temporarily suppressing all doubts in his heart, Qin Yu walked out of the thatched cottage.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he felt countless eyes falling on him.
At some point, almost all the villagers gathered outside the thatched cottage.
They seemed to have a premonition of something, and they all gathered here.
When they saw Qin Yu walking out, they also said nothing. They just looked at him quietly, waiting for Qin Yu to speak.
Qin Yu took a deep breath.
"The elder is no longer here."
All the clan members had a flash of sadness in their eyes.
Even though they had been prepared, when the day finally came and the pillar of the tribe fell, they still could not suppress their sadness.
"From today on, I, Chi Ji, am the new elder of the Chi clan!"
Qin Yu said loudly.
The clan members silently bowed their heads to Qin Yu, raised their right hands, and formally saluted.
"as well as……"
Qin Yu paused and shouted loudly again: "In half a year, I will lead the soldiers and go out again!"
All the tribesmen straightened their backs.
This is the moment they have been waiting for
"From now on, there will be no more blood crystals."
Qin Yu's eyes swept across everyone.
"We can no longer train new warriors. After this time, we will no longer have the power to survive in the wasteland."
"So this is the last expedition."
"It's also our last."
No one raised a voice to object.
Although, as long as they don't go on an expedition, with the current strength of the tribe and the powerful leader Qin Yu, they can still survive for a while.
Until all the tribesmen grow old, their bloodline collapses and die, until the next generation has no blood crystals, no new warriors can be born, and is destroyed by the barbarians and the ferocious beasts and wild beasts in the wilderness.
Until then, he can at least survive. Even with the protection of Qin Yu's powerful strength, he can probably survive more easily than before, without having to worry about the coming threats all the time.
