The Cangling Zhang family dominates the continent!

Chapter 133 A grand funeral!

"Uh, Uncle Six, why are you doing this to me?"

Zhang Chentian looked at Zhang Yisheng, who was grinning in front of him, and said helplessly.

He really didn't expect that his always serious uncle would suddenly become so naughty.

However, Zhang Chentian also knew that Zhang Yisheng did this just to make the atmosphere more relaxed.

After all, everyone had just experienced a fierce battle and needed to relax.

"Hahaha, stop making trouble. Let's go back to our clan. Our clan's strength has increased significantly in the past two years. Coupled with the increasing number of clan members, our clan is now thriving."

Zhang Yisheng said with a smile, a hint of excitement and pride in his eyes.

He knew that the family had been working hard to develop over the years, and now it had finally borne fruit.

Moreover, the family will continue to grow over time.

Having said that, Zhang Yisheng led everyone towards the family.

"The Zhang family's people who went to the border are back! Quick, notify the head of the family!"

"Is Zhang Chentian back? Inform the family to prepare gifts!"

……

In less than a moment, the nearby forces and families learned the news that Zhang Chentian and his group had returned to the family.

Then the news spread quickly throughout the seven southwestern cities like a spring breeze.

At this time, most of the Zhang family members had gathered in front of the family gate.

Some of them stood at the door, some stood on high places, and some sat on the ground, all staring into the distance.

Tears of excitement welled up on their faces and their eyes sparkled with anticipation.

They all hope to see their families return safely.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from afar, getting closer and closer. Everyone was delighted and stood on tiptoe to look.

When Zhang Zongyu and the family leaders saw that half of their clansmen were missing, their joy instantly halved.

When Zhang Chentian and the others saw the people waiting at the door, they all dismounted and saluted:

"Meet the Patriarch (Grandpa)"

"Hahaha! Great! Great! The good men of my Zhang family are back! Thank you for your hard work, Great Elder!"

Zhang Zongyu said with a smile on his face, his laughter resounded throughout the Zhang family, making everyone feel his inner joy and excitement.

After Zhang Chentian and his companions finished their ceremony, they couldn't wait to walk towards their parents, wives and children.

Their eyes are filled with longing and concern for their families. At this moment, they just want to reunite with their loved ones and enjoy the warmth and peace.

However, some tribesmen did not find the figure they had been thinking about day and night among these forty people.

An ominous premonition welled up in their hearts and tears welled up in their eyes.

They are unwilling to believe this cruel fact and can only look into the distance, as if hoping to find their lost loved ones there.

Zhang Chongpeng felt very sad when he saw the sad expressions of his tribesmen.

He knew that the departure of these people was a huge loss to the family, but he also understood that war was so cruel that life and death were often just a matter of a moment.

He took a deep breath, walked up to Zhang Zongyu, knelt down and apologized:

"Chief, this is all my fault. I failed to protect them. I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Zhang Zongyu quickly stepped forward to help Zhang Chongpeng up and comforted him:

"Great Elder, what are you doing? How is this your fault?"

"On the battlefield, life and death are just a matter of seconds. Everything is determined by fate! We can't blame anyone, we can only accept reality silently."

Seeing this, the tribesmen quickly said:

"Yes, Great Elder, this is not your fault. When you headed to the border, we prepared for the worst."

"They died for their family and their country, and we are proud of them."

"Hey~"

Zhang Chongpeng sighed, took out more than 20 frozen corpses from the storage bag, and said:

"We have tried our best to search for the bodies of our deceased tribesmen, but we haven't found them all. I..."

"Don't blame yourself too much, you... have already tried your best!"

Before Zhang Chongpeng could finish, a voice came, and then a broad palm fell on his shoulder.

"Ninth brother."

Zhang Chongpeng gently called out to the person in front of him.

I saw a middle-aged man walking slowly towards me. He was wearing a white robe, with a kind face and deep eyes.

He walked over to Zhang Chongpeng and patted him gently on the shoulder to express his comfort and understanding.

Zhang Chongzhan nodded at him, then looked at everyone with a serious look and said in a heavy tone:

"The names of the forty-six members of our clan who died in this battle will be forever engraved on the family's monument to heroes, and all of them will be buried in the family's cemetery! Let us always remember their heroic sacrifice!"

Hearing this, the tribesmen were all moved, with tears in their eyes.

They know that this is the highest respect and honor for the deceased.

Zhang Chongzhan continued:

"For those who still have children attending school within the clan, the clan will double the resources provided to support their growth and development."

The decision caused a stir, with many people surprised and grateful.

This is not only a respect for the deceased, but also a care and support for the living.

"Also, from today onwards, all members of the clan who die in battle for the clan will be buried according to this standard, and given the honor and treatment they deserve!"

After hearing this, the tribesmen shouted in unison: "Thank you, ancestor!"

Their hearts were filled with emotion and pride because they knew that the family they belonged to valued the efforts and contributions of every member.

Zhang Chongzhan nodded seriously, his eyes firm and powerful, as if telling everyone:

"You deserve this!"

At this moment, the whole scene was solemn and everyone felt a deep sense of responsibility and mission.

……

"Here we come, brother!"

In the courtyard, Zhang Chentian looked at Zhang Chenlong who was walking towards him and said.

"Brother, Mom asked me to call you over for dinner!"

Zhang Chenlong looked at Zhang Chentian and said with a smile.

"Hahaha, I haven't eaten my mother's cooking for a long time. I must eat a big meal tonight!"

Zhang Chentian laughed and responded happily.

He patted Zhang Chenlong on the shoulder, with a hint of relief and expectation in his eyes.

"You've made great progress in the past two years. It seems you haven't been slacking off since I left!"

Zhang Chentian felt the aura of the middle stage of Qi Condensation from Zhang Chenlong, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile.

"My goal is to become a king-level expert! How can I be lazy?"

Zhang Chenlong clenched his fists, his eyes revealing firm determination.

"It's too small!"

Zhang Chentian smiled and shook his head, speaking softly.

"Huh? What's smaller?"

Zhang Chenlong asked doubtfully, not understanding why his brother said that.

"You're too narrow-minded! Our Zhang family will definitely stand at the top of the continent in the future. How can a King Realm cultivation be enough?"

Zhang Chentian smiled confidently, with a gleam in his eyes.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Zhang Chenlong. With his Xuan-level lower-grade martial bone qualifications, if he does not have sufficient resources for cultivation, at best he can only cultivate to the Danhua realm.

However, Zhang Chentian has higher expectations and pursuits.

He believed that he could surpass his limits and lead his family to glory.

"Brother, what kind of realm do you think we should pursue?"

Zhang Chenlong asked curiously, full of admiration for his brother.

"At least we have to reach the realm of nobility!"

Zhang Chentian replied in a firm tone.

He knew very well that in order to gain a foothold in this world, he must be strong enough.

The realm of nobility is their first step towards the peak.

"Zhen Realm..."

Zhang Chenlong murmured softly, a surge of ambition in his heart.
