Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming
Chapter 56 - 56 56 Huang Family

56: Chapter 56 Huang Family 56: Chapter 56 Huang Family Family Head Huang deployed his footwork and leaped swiftly towards the ancestral hall.

The disciples, unaware of what had transpired, saw their clan leader rushing urgently in one direction.

Some of them said, “The Family Head is rushing to a place so anxiously, there must be some emergency.

Could it be…” Another disciple suggested, “Let’s go over and have a look, too.

By going there, we’ll find out what’s going on.

Only a few things could make the Family Head so frantic.

Could it be that his grandson has caused trouble again?” The disciples also ran quickly behind him to check out the commotion.

“Damn it, who killed my grandson…

Sound the warning bell…

Mirage Realm, we must find the person who harmed my grandson.”

Family Head Huang cursed fiercely as he brought out a magical treasure—it was a small mirror.

He applied spiritual power to the Mirage Mirror and the previously undisturbed surface.

With the spiritual power that Family Head Huang exerted, the mirror suddenly showed specks of snowflakes and the blurred shadow of a wind-blown figure.

Seeing that the Mirage Mirror couldn’t reveal the shadow of the enemy, Family Head Huang cast another bolt of spiritual power, but the Mirage Mirror still couldn’t display the face of the foe.

…

If Jiang Tang were here, he would certainly exclaim with surprise, “This is a mirror that looks as high-tech as a TV with poor reception.

This Cultivation World doesn’t need power to transmit TV shows!”

…

“Damn it, why can’t it be clearer?

Mumble jumble.”

Family Head Huang tried hard to apply spiritual power, but unfortunately, he could only see a blurry shadow of the enemy, and he couldn’t make out the face on the image.

The sounding of the warning bell brought both the family disciples and the elders to gather in the square.

Family Head Huang, unable to see the enemy’s face clearly, had no choice but to use his footwork and leap to the cultivation square.

Family Head Huang arrived on the platform in the square, standing there with a face full of hatred and anger.

His son stood among the elders, together with his partner.

The partner of Family Head Huang was also among the crowd.

This gathering brought together everyone—aside from those who could not attend because of seclusion or were too young.

The disciples were dressed in uniform attire, with different ranks signified by varying colors.

“What’s happened, Father?”

The son of Family Head Huang spoke up.

“Yes, Family Head, why sound the warning bell?”

“Nothing major happened within the family, didn’t hear of any big incidents either, so why sound the warning bell?”

“Sounding the warning bell casually is not a good omen!

And we haven’t seen anyone dead here.”

These were the comments of the three elders to the Family Head.

The disciples stood in the crowd, looking at each other, trying to see who was missing.

Usually, the warning bell is rung when someone has died.

“My son, the elders, the disciples, we must avenge my grandson Huang Chen!”

Family Head Huang spoke with grief.

He had only two beloved grandsons, and the one with better talents, Huang Chen, had unfortunately perished.

Fortunately, the other grandson wasn’t at the Mount Tai Sect, or else he would have lost all his grandsons.

“What?

How could my son Huang Chen die?

Who killed him?

Father, have you found the enemy?”

The son of Family Head Huang was both sorrowful and furious.

His son was the elite of the clan, his pride.

Being so young, he was already close to matching his own cultivation.

With better resources, he could potentially become the strongest in the family.

This was also the hope of their clan, and they never anticipated that the youngest, Huang Chen, would be slain.

The other elders were also stunned.

Previously, believing that Huang Chen had better talents than their grandchildren, Family Head Huang had privately allocated the best resources to him.

Though they had some complaints, they still hoped that the younger generation could succeed and lead their family to become stronger.

Nobody expected Huang Chen to be killed so easily.

With the grief of the Family Head and his family, their faces also turned grim.

Even though Huang Chen wasn’t our own flesh and blood, we watched him grow up.

To be bullied and killed like this—it’s a humiliation.

The disciples standing below only now realized that Huang Chen, who was able to become a disciple at the Mount Tai Sect, had been murdered.

Who could have committed the act?

They had always been contributing to the clan, never imagining the malice in the outside world.

They knew that among the three big families in Immortal Lord City, there was strife.

The name Immortal Lord City came from tales that, during the Desolate Ancient era, an Immortal Lord had ascended from this place.

It has been over ten thousand years since such a figure appeared, leaving nothing for their descendants in Immortal Lord City but some magical treasures, artifact refining secret manuals, and talisman crafting secret manuals.

Indeed, there were some flaws in cultivation, but even more so in alchemy.

The magical treasures and talismans produced by their family were, in part, used to exchange for pills.

It was also because of their possession of magical treasures and talismans that they could compete so aggressively for spirit stone mine resources among the three great families.

However, apart from the Huang Family in Immortal Lord City, the Jiang Family’s covetous gaze, and the Luo Family, famous for their pill concocting, posed potential threats.

It was said that the Luo Family’s ancestors were once disciples of the Medicine Saint Sect.

At any moment, they could kick the Huang Family out of the three major families, enabling the second-rate Lai Family to take their place.

“My child…

how could you have been killed?”

Huang Chen’s mother cried.

“My grandson, weren’t you cultivating in the sect?

How could you have died?”

Huang Chen’s grandmother wailed in misery.

“A member of our family has been murdered.

What do you say we do?”

Family Head Huang looked at his spouse and watched his son and daughter-in-law cry.

His heart ached.

He spoke seriously to the elders and disciples below.

Although his words were phrased as a question, he had already decided to seek revenge.

“Father, please give the order!

We must take revenge, avenge my son…

We must find vengeance, only by carving the enemy into a thousand pieces will our hatred dissipate.”

Family Head Huang’s son cried out in grief and rage.

Family Head Huang gestured to his son to be at ease and then turned his gaze toward the disciples and the three elders.

The cultivation of the elders was at the Mid Foundation Establishment level, none as high as that of Family Head Huang.

Within their family was an old ancestor, the father of Family Head Huang, whose cultivation was at the Mid Nascent Soul level, currently in seclusion within the family, providing a stabilizing presence.

“Family Head, please give the order!” the Great Elder said.

“Yes, Family Head, please give the order!” Elder San said.

“Family Head, we all agree on taking revenge, but we also need to ascertain the strength of the enemy.

We shouldn’t bring disaster to the entire family for the sake of one individual,” Elder Er spoke with a bit more consideration.

Family Head Huang’s gaze fixed on Elder Er, trying to discern from his eyes whether he was unwilling to avenge his grandson.

As the family head, he knew well that personal vendettas should not endanger the family.

The opponent was very, very strong.

If revenge was sought carelessly, it could truly lead to the family’s annihilation.

When disciples encountered robbery and murder during their outside training, many who couldn’t get revenge had no choice but to let go of their grudge.

But if the family sought revenge and stumbled against an overwhelmingly powerful enemy, their entire lineage could face extermination.

“Very well, the three elders shall accompany the head of the family to the Mount Tai Sect to inquire about that Elder in the Core Formation Realm, hoping to learn from him who our enemy is.

Then we shall decide.”

Family Head Huang’s decision hinted at his suspicion that the opponent’s cultivation was higher than his own since he had used his power on the Mirage Mirror to no avail, unable to reveal the enemy’s appearance.

An enemy with higher cultivation than his own rendered his magical treasures useless against them.

Reflecting on this, Family Head Huang realized that this trip to the Mount Tai Sect might cost some spirit stones and magical treasures.

But for his grandson’s sake, he could not let his death be in vain; he hoped his master had other ways to bring him back to life.

Family Head Huang prepared to depart with the three elders.

“Father, I will go too…

I must kill the enemy myself, to avenge my son…”

Family Head Huang’s son also wished to seek revenge.

“You stay here and act as the family head in our absence.

We cannot leave the family without a leader if we are all at the Mount Tai Sect.”

“But, Father…

I want to go as well.”

“There are no ‘buts.’ With the family and elders gone, do not let word spread.

Once we leave, lock the main gate to prevent any opportunistic looting.”

Family Head Huang said this also to guard against any moves from the other two families while they were away.

He could not, for the sake of one individual, disregard the entire family; otherwise, he would become the sinner of the family.
