Reincarnated as a Divine Tree

Chapter 35: Resounding victory

In the next moment, faint glimmers of light flickered once again on Noah Ji’s branches.

With the clan’s crisis resolved, he could continue absorbing the moonlight.

Among the branches filled with glimmers, countless green specks soon floated out, falling onto the wounded clan members below.

As the vitality-filled green specks infiltrated their bodies, the clan members, who were barely breathing, began to moan softly.

The wounds of those who had been bleeding profusely also gradually started to heal.

In no time, several heavily injured clan members, though not fully recovered, managed to preserve their lives and even stood up to thank the Sacred Tree.

After doing all this, Noah Ji’s vitality dropped by another four points, leaving only two, far exceeding his expectations.

This was because the injuries of these clan members were too severe, requiring more vitality.

At this moment, Noah Ji’s condition was even worse than at the beginning.

As for the other injured clan members, as long as their injuries weren’t fatal, Noah Ji decided to ignore them.

If the Chen Clan didn’t sacrifice a few more fierce beasts, he feared he might exhaust himself completely!

Seeing the Sacred Tree display its divine power once again, Ethan Chen’s gratitude was beyond words; only actions could express it.

With Noah Ji’s healing, the clan members were equally excited. After all, the divine power displayed by the Sacred Tree today far exceeded their understanding, even pulling back those who were on the brink of death.

Doesn’t this mean that as long as they had a breath left, they wouldn’t have to worry about dying?

Various thoughts filled the minds of some clan members, with some even wishing to sacrifice themselves.

Seeing the favorable atmosphere, Ethan Chen spoke again:

“Although our clan suffered heavy losses, we won this battle!”

With these words, the Ancestral Hall fell into silence.

After a brief silence, many clan members’ faces lit up with joy, and they couldn’t help but cheer loudly.

Yes, despite the twists and turns, they had ultimately won this struggle against the Li Clan!

According to the clan members’ statistics, the Li Clan lost six Blood Condensation Realm warriors and no less than twenty Body Tempering Realm warriors in this battle. If not for the formidable late-stage Blood Condensation Realm warrior at the end, they could have wiped them out completely.

But even so, the Li Clan was now in decline and no longer a threat.

In contrast, their own side had paid a relatively small price. With the help of the Sacred Tree, they had only lost three people, none of whom were Blood Condensation Realm warriors.

This battle wasn’t just a win; it was a resounding victory!

Amidst the cheers, the dark cloud that had hung over the clan dissipated.

Listening to the cheers, even Ethan Chen couldn’t help but smile faintly.

Soon, Ethan Chen raised his hand, and the crowd quieted down again. Although everyone was injured, their eyes were bright and full of spirit.

“Although we won this battle, the centipede dies but never falls down. The Li Clan has not been completely eradicated, so we must remain vigilant!”

“The suffering our clan endured these past days cannot be erased by a single victory.”

With that, Ethan Chen issued new tasks.

“Mason, take a few people to repair the clan.”

“Yes, Clan Chief!”

“Elijah, take some clan members to monitor the Liu Family’s movements. Our clan has not yet recovered, so we need to be cautious.”

“Yes, Clan Chief!”

“Oliver, take the other clan members and head to the Li Clan immediately. If you encounter any Li Clan members, kill them without mercy!”

…

With the tasks assigned, the crowd in the Ancestral Hall quickly dispersed.

Just as Oliver Chen was about to leave, Ethan Chen reminded him again:

“If the Li Clan has any captive beasts, make sure to bring them back.”

“Understood,” Oliver Chen nodded.

After handling everything, Ethan Chen finally turned his gaze to the Sacred Tree and respectfully said:

“Today’s great victory is all thanks to the Sacred Tree.”

“Starting tomorrow, the clan will hold a grand seven-day ceremony for the Sacred Tree!”

Hearing Ethan Chen’s promise, Noah Ji felt much relieved.

No matter what, he wouldn’t be used as firewood for the time being. As for the remaining Li Clan, it seemed he wouldn’t need to intervene.

With the threat of the Li Clan gone, Noah Ji felt a bright future ahead. He could finally enjoy the wonders of this new world and live the life of a tree.

The battle with the Li Clan lasted only a few hours, and the sky was still dark, though the rain had stopped.

Around the Chen Clan, several torches lit up, and many clan members were busy repairing the houses destroyed in the battle.

In the distance, Oliver Chen was leading the clan members towards the Li Clan’s location.

Located near the Disordered Burial Mountain, the distance between the two clans wasn’t long, taking only a quarter of an hour to reach.

This time, they hadn’t completely eradicated the invading Li Clan members, allowing Joshua Li and the late-stage Blood Condensation Realm warrior Li Cailiang to escape.

By now, the two had likely returned to their clan. However, given the current weakened state of the Li Clan, Oliver Chen’s group should be able to handle them easily.

As dawn broke, the battle finally came to an end.

Noah Ji stood quietly in the Ancestral Hall, watching the busy clan members outside.

Though disheveled and exhausted, their faces radiated new vitality and vigor.

After a while, Ethan Chen returned to the Ancestral Hall.

This time, he held a few sticks of incense. Not only had they been blessed by the Sacred Tree, but surely the spirit of the Elder Ancestor in heaven had also watched over them.

After last night’s battle, the Elder Ancestor’s last remains could no longer be used, marking the end of the clan’s blessings.

From now on, they would have to rely on themselves.

Thinking of this, Ethan Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit sad.

Unfortunately, although the deceased clan members’ bodies were intact, their realms were too low. Even with the clan’s secret methods, it would be hard to make much use of them.

To use the secret methods, a warrior’s realm before death had to be at least in the Innate Realm.

It was said that during the clan’s heyday, the Ancestral Hall was protected by an Elder Ancestor in the Three Realms of Concentrating Spirit.

Sadly, by the time he was born, the clan had already fallen, and he had never seen such a scene, only heard about it from his elders. He didn’t even know how powerful an Elder Ancestor in the Three Realms of Concentrating Spirit was.

Ethan Chen stopped thinking about it. After a round of worship, he inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.

At this moment, several footsteps sounded from behind.

Ethan Chen turned to see Oliver Chen and the others returning.

“Clan Chief, the Li Clan is deserted. When we arrived, only a few irrelevant servants were left.”

Oliver Chen reported first.

This result was within Ethan Chen’s expectations. Given Joshua Li’s cautious nature, he must have immediately relocated the clan members upon returning.

But even so, the matter was not over.

Although the Li Clan was in decline, there were still many remaining clan members. Moreover, during this attack, they hadn’t seen any of the younger generation warriors of the Li Clan. If they didn’t search thoroughly, it could become a problem in the future.
