Mortal Cultivation

Chapter 54

54 The Iroonwood Village

It was a kind of joy of being born out of desperation, a surprise from the bottom of his heart that he finally found his home and some of his people.

Looking at the clansmen who ran over, Wang Wei couldn’t help being stunned, and tears suddenly poured out. He couldn’t imagine that even under such a powerful siege attack, there were still some people who could survive.

As they got closer, Wang Wei’s hazy eyes recognized that the person at the head turned out to be the clan’s archer Zao Chi.

“Uncle Zao.” Wang Wei threw himself into Zao Chi’s arms and cried out in pain.

It turned out that Zao Chi and a dozen young people in the clan didn’t want to see Qiu Hong getting married because they had always had a crush on Qiu Hong. So they gathered together and ran to the grassland to practice archery.

When the demon clan attacked, Zao Chi and the crowd saw the smoke in the clan, and guessed that something must have happened in the clan, and they rushed back immediately. But while trying to leave the grassland, they were stopped by a clansman who escaped.

After explaining the situation, the group fled back to the grassland one after another, hiding in the river until the night before they dared to go ashore, so they escaped this disaster.

It was not until the next day when the sky was bright that Zao Chi and his party relied on their courage to touch the tribe. After searching the clan for a while, only a few injured clansmen were found laying among the dead and survived. All the other clansmen were killed by the demons.

For safety, Zao Chi did not stay in the clan for much longer, and took all the living people to hide in a hole in the woods in the distance. After hearing the movement in the clan just now, someone from the clan took a look at the probe outside the clan, only to find that it was Wang Wei who came back.

.....

Zao Chi squatted down, wiped the tears from his face while wiping Wang Wei’s tears too, and asked, “Son, don’t cry. I ask you, what about the patriarch and the others? Why did you come back alone?”

After crying for a long time, Wang Wei’s mood finally stabilized. Although Wang Wei had vowed to stop crying before, when he saw Zao Chi and other surviving clansmen, he couldn’t help crying.

In fact, after venting his emotions this time, it was a good thing for Wang Wei, otherwise, the long-term repression of this pain in his heart would not be good for his future cultivation.

Wang Wei briefly told Zao Chi and others about his past experience. Of course, there was no mention of the immortal Cave, this was a secret that only belonged to Wang Wei. Wang Wei only said that his parents were killed by the demons in order to protect him, and he was swept away by the waterfall, so he escaped this disaster.

After hearing what Wang Wei said, everyone felt sad again.

Suddenly, a slight rustling sound came from the woods outside the clan. Because of his spiritual power, Wang Wei heard it so clearly, and he immediately raised the black iron bow in his hand. All the clansmen were shocked when they saw this.

Everyone knew of Wang Wei’s enchanting talent. Seeing that Wang Wei was so nervous, he must have discovered the enemy, and they immediately raised their own weapons one by one.

They saw a movement in the bushes, outside of the woods, and this rustling sound was made by the leaves of the bushes rubbing against each other.

Everyone was shocked, but Wang Wei knew that it was impossible for the bushes to move on their own like that. There must be another reason, and suddenly shouted: “Who is it? If you don’t come out, I will release the arrow.”

When the other party heard the words, there was a burst of voices. Someone exclaimed in surprise: “It’s the son’s voice.”

“That’s right, it’s the voice of Master Wang Wei.”

Afterwards, someone shouted, “Young Master Wang, it’s us. I’m Da Lu.”

A few seconds later, they saw the bushes parted to the sides, and suddenly, seven or eight people appeared from below.

“It’s Dalu and the others. Great, they’re still alive.” Zao Chi and the others greeted them happily.

Wang Wei couldn’t help asking: “Da Lu, there were more than ten people when we were running separately, why are there only a few of you left?”

Everyone in Dalu couldn’t help but be silent for a while, and it seemed that the bad luck was much worse. The two groups of people couldn’t help but recount their own experiences.

After everyone’s emotions stabilized, Wang Wei said: “Uncle Zao, you bring two clansmen to clean up my parents’ things. On this slope, bury my parents. Let them always guard this place. A piece of territory before his death. Others should also gathered the bodies of the clansmen and cremate them all. The clansmen can’t be let go of the corpses again.”

After Zao Chi ordered the arrangement, everyone dispersed and began to clean up the broken clan.

On this slope, the clansmen dug graves for the patriarch and his wife. Because there was no body, they just buried the patriarch’s common things and clothes together.

Wang Wei moved the bodies of his mother and Shuang’er from the space into the tomb together. Wang Wei took off his mother’s ring with trembling hands, tied it with an animal skin rope and hung it around his neck as a reminder.

“Wei’er.” Taoist Feng Mo suddenly said: “Wei’er, use your spiritual power to penetrate into your mother’s body, sense your mother’s spirit crystal, and then take it out. Otherwise, the beasts will come to destroy her body.”

Wang Wei was startled and thanked the master for the reminder. After stabilizing his emotions, Wang Wei slowly pushed his spiritual power into Xuan’er’s body, little by little. He saw a flash of light, and four amethysts with a length of more than half a foot suddenly emerged from the body, suspended above Xuan’er’s body.

Wang Wei took his mother’s spirit crystal and put it into his spatial ring. Then he knelt down in front of the tomb, picked up a handful of soil, and saw off his parents and sister. Afterwards, the clansmen quickly piled up the graves.

Wang Wei kowtowed three times to his parents and sister in front of the grave, then got up and started to arrange the scattered tribe with his clansmen.
