Chapter 141 Arrangement

"A beast tide?"

Apart from the Grand Elder and the Clan Chief, all the cultivators present looked puzzled.

"Oh, I saw it in the family library. It is said that a disaster will occur every one or two hundred years. Monsters will come like a tide and devour everything in sight, leaving nothing behind."

At this moment, Xu Yuanzhen spoke with a solemn expression. After he finished speaking, Xu Fadong asked with some confusion.

"Monster beasts? Perfect! We usually have a hard time finding monster beasts to hunt, and now they've come knocking on our door..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Grand Elder interrupted him.

"You child, you're not as simple as you think. The clan leader and I were both there during the last beast tide, and just thinking about it now sends chills down our spines."

Endless monsters came from all directions, and no matter how many were killed, they would be filled by the swarming monsters that followed.

These monstrous beasts have crimson eyes and charge relentlessly, fearless of death. No matter how you fight, their numbers cannot be reduced, while your people around you will disappear one by one.

After the elder spoke, he subconsciously shivered, his expression filled with terror. The clan leader nodded and followed up.

"The reason we survived the last beast tide was because a demon king fell, which freed up the Qingming Sect to finally eliminate a large number of demon beasts."

We might not have such a good opportunity this time.

Xu Yuanlang had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and his importance in the Xu family had increased significantly, so he quickly made a suggestion.

"In that case, we might as well make plans early, gather our affiliated families and come to the vicinity of Wuliang Mountain, and then cooperate with the Dian family to clean up the monsters in the vicinity."

We also agreed to advance and retreat together. Furthermore, there are several Foundation Establishment cultivators nearby; we can take this opportunity to invite them to help. Offering them some spiritual items is no problem.

Upon hearing Xu Yuanlang's plan, the clan chief nodded silently; the plan he proposed was indeed quite good.

"In addition, we should take this opportunity to increase the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family."

Upon hearing the elder's words, all the cultivators present were stunned and looked up at the clan leader.

"You mean?"

The clan leader's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Xu Yuanzhen beside him, who seemed to sense something and showed a look of delight.

"We didn't use the foundation-building spiritual item we prepared for Yuan Lang. Instead, we had Yuan Jing take it. It would be best if he could successfully break through, which would give us more strength."

If we fail, then it's just bad luck.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuanlang was startled; sure enough, his third brother's face turned deathly pale.

"Yuan Jing? If possible, Yuan Zhen could also..."

Before the clan leader could finish speaking, the Grand Elder sighed and looked at Xu Yuanzhen with a calm expression.

"Clan leader, have you forgotten? Yuan Zhen lost his primordial yang and has started a family. Besides, Yuan Jing has better talent. Since we need to break through, we should naturally choose someone with better talent."

As for Yuan Zhen, let him establish his foundation another time.

The clan leader pondered for a while. If it were purely a matter of probability, it would indeed be true. However, looking at Xu Yuanzhen's ashen face, everyone present felt a pang of sympathy.

He was a few months older than Xu Yuanjing, and his time to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of sixty was not far off. If he missed this opportunity, he would basically never have the chance to establish his foundation in this lifetime.

Others might say that the Grand Elder was selfless and impartial, recommending the virtuous and avoiding relatives, but only he himself probably knows the bitterness in his heart.

"Alright, then let's give that Foundation Establishment spiritual item to Yuan Jing. The beast tide is approaching, so we need to hurry."

Several people walked out of the clan chief's hut with heavy expressions. Before leaving, the clan chief stopped the eldest elder who was lagging behind.

"Uncle, isn't this too cruel to Yuan Zhen?"

"Don't worry, I have plans for Yuan Zhen, after all, he is my grandson."

Seeing the elder's smiling face, the clan leader had no choice but to put aside his many words for the time being, hoping that the elder could really handle the matter properly.

"Third Brother..."

On the way down the mountain, Xu Yuanlang was worried about Xu Yuanzhen and quickly called out to him, but Xu Yuanzhen seemed not to hear him and walked away dejectedly.

"Why!"

Watching his retreating figure, Xu Yuanlang could only sigh helplessly.

Back at home, Xu Yuanzhen didn't say a word to his two children, but simply closed the door and began to cultivate.

"Dad seems to be in a bad mood?"

Xu Lingyou patted her chest hard. Just now, she felt that her father was like a bloodthirsty beast, which startled her.

Did you make Dad angry?

"No, I didn't! I'm such a well-behaved person, how could I possibly make Dad angry!"

Xu Linghua couldn't help but reach out to tap her younger sister's forehead, but Xu Lingyou was incredibly agile and dodged it with a turn of her head.

"Mom, my brother bullied me again!"

"Tsk!"

Xu Linghua reluctantly withdrew her finger and turned to her mother, who was walking from another direction.

"Mom, I don't know what's wrong with Dad, he's very angry today."

"Bang!"

Just then, a loud crash came from inside the room, as if something had hit the wall. Wei Huan was stunned for a moment. The two little ones sneaked over and, after taking a quick look, heard a roar coming from inside the room.

"roll……"

The two rushed back, their faces filled with terror as they described the scene inside the room with exaggerated gestures.

"Mother, Father has gone mad!"

"Alright, you two, stop talking nonsense. I'll go check!"

Wei Huan pushed open the door and went inside, and the room instantly fell silent.

"Father has really calmed down!"

Just then, the elder walked in, and the two little ones quickly bowed to him.

"Hello, Great-Grandpa!"

"Where's your father?"

"Dad's angry, he's telling us to get out!"

Xu Lingyou spoke cautiously, then quickly made a funny face, which was quite cute.

"Okay, great-grandfather will scold him for you."

After the elder finished speaking, he went into the room. At this moment, Xu Yuanzhen, whose face was ashen, was leaning on Wei Huan's shoulder. When they saw their grandfather arrive, Wei Huan and Xu Yuanzhen hurriedly stood up.

"grandfather!"

Xu Yuanzhen kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything. In the end, it was the Grand Elder who spoke with a smile.

"I'm still angry, Huanhuan. You go out first. There are some things I want to say to Yuan Zhen."

Wei Huan obediently went out and closed the door, leaving the grandfather and grandson a private space.

"Yuan Zhen, I know you're upset that I didn't fight for it for you."

Xu Yuanzhen's breathing suddenly became heavy, his eyes turned bloodshot, and then he spoke with great grievance.

"Win it? Grandpa, if you can just say one word for me, I'll accept it even if we can't win it, after all, the family is the priority."

But from beginning to end, you didn't say a single word in my defense. You even handed over that Foundation Establishment spiritual item to Yuan Jing—my only chance!

"This isn't the only chance!"
