Chapter 654 [653] Bloodshed

Cheng Han's words, "The Spirit Monkey Clan should prosper," were like a giant stone thrown into the water, immediately causing a turbulent undercurrent.

Two days later.

The cleaning of the water marsh finally came to an end.

In front of a large crowd.

A heated argument suddenly broke out between Aton, the lucky spirit monkey who had been promoted to Spirit Shepherd, and Kanda, the deputy chief of their tribe.

"Ao Ao Ao..."

"Heh Ada Ao..."

Kanda's father was also a Spirit Shepherd, so it was not afraid of Aton. Both sides refused to back down, and the argument grew more and more intense.

The hundreds of nearby monkeys stopped what they were doing and listened intently.

Luo Jiuling frowned and shouted loudly, "Heh Ao!"

The two spirit monkeys stopped arguing upon hearing that Luo Jiuling was a trusted confidant of the elder, but they still glared at each other angrily.

Luo Jiuling coldly observed this scene, deeply realizing the vast difference between himself and the Grand Marshal. The gap was immense.

An hour later.

The water marsh was completely cleaned.

The area that was once densely covered with vegetation had become a clear and small lake.

Luo Jiuling raised his arm and commanded, "Heh Ao!"

The spirit monkeys immediately took out wooden staffs, each of which was intricately carved with patterns.

This was the third type of Spiritual Weapon that Cheng Han had taught them - the Staff of Spirit Wood.

Afterwards.

A group of monkeys scattered to the edge of the lake and jumped into the water with a "plop," inserting the staffs into the muddy bottom of the lake.

Soon.

Transcendence fluctuations surged from the bottom of the water.

Black trees emerged from the water, growing to over thirty meters tall and with a diameter of no less than five meters in just a few seconds.

The trunks of each pair of trees were completely pressed against each other.

This circle of trees surrounded the lake, forming a giant fence that effectively prevented vicious water insects from entering.

Thus.

A fish farming lake was completed.

Of course.

The giant fence couldn't block all the water insects, and a small number would inevitably slip through.

But this was not a big problem.

Regularly cleaning the lake would allow the fish farming business to continue, providing a stable source of protein.

"Ao Ah!"

"Ao Ah!"

The spirit monkeys witnessed this scene and roared excitedly.

Kanda looked down at the lake and suddenly fell silent.

Aton's eyes were filled with determination.

Luo Jiuling keenly noticed this small detail and muttered to himself in the language of the Wan Hao, "A storm is coming!"

He understood that a storm called "change" was about to sweep through.

And all of this.

Was definitely related to the Grand Marshal.

*

The next day.

The Black Branch Clan held a grand ceremony by the fish farming lake.

All the spirit monkeys of the clan, young and old, gathered at the scene.

In addition.

Several neighboring clans and hundreds of spirit monkeys came to observe.

The clan chief personally presided over the ceremony and personally released a batch of fish fry into the fish farming lake.

From a historical perspective.

This was undoubtedly a groundbreaking event.

It marked the civilization of the Spirit Monkey Clan transitioning from the primitive stages of gathering and hunting to the agricultural stage of fish farming.

After the ceremony.

The burly spirit monkey raised its head and let out a loud roar, pounding its chest forcefully.

"Boom! Boom!"

The sound was heavy and powerful, spreading in all directions.

This display.

Faintly carried a sense of warning.

The reactions of the spirit monkeys varied.

Some spirit monkeys cheered loudly.

Others followed suit, but their attitude was somewhat perfunctory.

There were also some spirit monkeys, mainly the young and strong ones, whose eyes revealed a cold indifference.

Aton crossed his arms, raised his head high, and stared intently at the clan chief.

The clan chief sensed Aton's icy gaze and saw the full anger in his eyes, but it ultimately held back.

Even a discerning monkey could see that the Black Branch Clan had already split.

*

That night.

In the pouring rain.

The clan chief sensed the crisis and actually found an excuse to launch an attack on Aton, intending to kill this rising star.

From the clan chief's perspective.

The longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation would be for it, so it decided to take the initiative.

However.

An unexpected event occurred.

Kanda stood up and tried to stop his father's actions.

Shortly after.

A tragic scene of father and son fighting unfolded.

The Monkey Clan was already a relatively primitive and barbaric race, and killing blood relatives was not uncommon.

And the clan chief had more than one son, so he didn't have much psychological burden when he attacked his disobedient eldest son.

After a bloody battle.

Aton became the final victor.

Kanda was seriously injured and personally crushed the clan chief's head.

*

White Palace.

The candlelight in the hall rendered the place warm and bright, like a land of hope.

In the halo of light.

The internal strife of the Black Branch Clan was vividly presented.

"Crack!"

Only a muffled sound was heard.

A large piece of the clan chief's occiput caved in.

His two eyeballs instantly popped out, leaving behind two bloody eye sockets that looked extremely terrifying.

Kanda spat out a mouthful of blood and looked somewhat sad: "Father, the Monkey Clan should prosper, you shouldn't harm the elders!"

Aton followed with a chant: "The Monkey Clan should prosper!"

Cheng Han gazed at the halo, and there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

As the guide.

He set a principle - to maintain a detached position, only responsible for instilling ideas, and never participate in the internal strife of the Monkey Clan.

Otherwise.

Once purity is lost, it will inevitably attract questioning gazes.

On the screen of light.

The cruel killings continued.

Aton led the younger generation and launched a major purge against the Black Branch Clan, throwing more than eighty percent of the elders into the water marsh to feed the water worms.

Among the many victims, there were also some young monkeys who were the blood relatives of the elders.

Cheng Han gazed at a terrified young monkey being mercilessly thrown into the dark water marsh, silently sighing.

After a while.

The halo dissipated.

Cheng Han listened to the sound of the pouring rain and whispered softly, "The change of times is not a process of great righteousness, it is also mixed with many evils."

From tonight's events.

It can be seen that Aton has a cruel and bloodthirsty side to his character.

But he doesn't care.

Nor does he mind.

Since the seeds have been sown.

All that's left is to wait for them to sprout and take root.

No need for interference.

Half an hour later.

Aton, drenched all over, arrived alone at the entrance of the White Palace.

He didn't rush in, but took off his powerful Spirit Armor, wiped his body with a piece of cloth, and then cautiously stepped into the palace gate.

It can be seen.

This hall holds a very sacred position in Aton's heart.

Cheng Han stood at the end of the hall, smiling as he watched Aton.

When Aton approached three meters away, he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thud!"

His forehead touched the ground, with an extremely devout expression: "Elder, please allow me to assume the position of clan chief and forever follow your guidance."

Cheng Han remained silent for a moment and did not answer.

Because this goes against the principle of "non-interference".

He stared at the wound behind Aton and mentioned another matter: "The methods related to fish farming can help deepen your understanding of life techniques, you need to pay more attention."

"Thud!"

Aton once again knocked his head on the ground.

He seemed to take it as permission and showed a joyful expression: "The Elder's guidance is the direction for my progress!"

Cheng Han didn't say anything else, just nodded slightly and turned to walk towards the inner room.

Aton remained kneeling on the ground until the Elder left, then he stood up and quickly left the White Palace.

Inside the inner room.

Cheng Han sat quietly for a while, then his expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed, "Hmm, the clone seems to have discovered a small world."

Another halo immediately appeared.

On the center of the screen.

A translucent figure was floating in the boundless void.

There.

It was the edge of the Senluo Realm.

To reach the edge of space from inside a small world is by no means a simple matter.

If it were any other Xuan Du, it would be difficult to find a way without ten or twenty years of effort.

But Cheng Han easily accomplished it.

Earlier, he had deployed an Anchor of the Myriad Realms, an extremely magical artifact that instantly anchored this space and unraveled some of its mysteries.

It was thanks to this that the clone could easily reach the edge of space.
