Chapter 214 The Four Priests
-+
The cheers of the tribe elders quickly spread throughout the entire Eternal Tribe.
The entire tribe, men, women, old and young, all mobilized, one by one with their children, and with me as the center, they gathered into layers of people.
The elders of the tribe closest to me had already knelt on the ground, and more people coming from behind were also shouting to the sky, excited.
I looked up and saw that all around me, there were countless people kneeling down, and it was a dense darkness.
Their clothes were thin, and many of them had unkempt hair, but after seeing the stone pendant in my hand, they seemed to be reborn, with tears streaming down their faces, crying and laughing...
I never thought I would encounter such a scene.
I never thought that as an orphan, I could actually become the master of a tribe and control the fate of so many people.
This is a lot of pressure and a great honor for me!
I looked at the crowd, and there was a steady stream of people coming behind me.
At this time, a sturdy man ran out from the crowd, wearing a tiger skin. He looked to be in his early thirties, with a muscular back and a look of extreme sadness on his face.
"Father!"
The strong man ran over, looked at Dong Yingtian on my back, knelt on the ground, and cried like a child.
"Father, give me my father's body..."
The sturdy man's eyes were red. I took a look and found that indeed, his face was somewhat similar to Dong Yingtian's.
"Are you Dong Bo's son?" I asked.
"Yes, I am his son Dong Shoucheng. Are you really a descendant of the Chen family and our young master?" Dong Shoucheng said.
Keep Cheng? Keep Chen??
I recited the name silently in my mind and immediately understood its meaning.
The Dong family is indeed a loyal servant. Although the tribe has been ownerless for a hundred years, Dong Bo still gave his son such a name, which is enough to show his loyalty to my Chen family.
"I am a descendant of the Chen family. When I return today, I am you and the young master of the entire tribe." I said word by word.
After I finished speaking, countless tribal elders who were crying with joy said in unison: "We will pay homage to the young master!!"
Dong Shoucheng also knelt on the ground, his mountain-like body full of heroic spirit.
"Dong Shoucheng, the 21st generation servant of the Chen family, pays homage to the young master!"
Dong Shoucheng's voice was deafening and full of momentum.
I helped him up and put his father's body in his hands.
"Your father died for me. This favor is a great favor from me. It is also a favor that our Chen family owes you. Shoucheng, I will return your father to you!" I said.
"Master, please tell me who killed my father?" Dong Shoucheng said angrily.
"They are from the Shi tribe. Keep it together and summon the tribal priests. I want to see them and hold a funeral for your father. All the tribesmen must attend!!" I said.
Dong Shoucheng's eyes turned red, and he suddenly knelt down on the ground again, saying: "Follow the Young Master's order!!"

…………
At noon that day, in Dong Shoucheng's simple thatched house, a makeshift coffin was placed in the main hall.
Dong Yingtian's body was also put on new clothes and was lying quietly in the coffin with his eyes closed peacefully.
I stood aside and looked at the tribal people who were going in and out of the house and kowtowed to Dongyingtian, with mixed feelings in my heart.
Behind me, there were four tribal priests who were called by Dong Shoucheng.
Their ancestors were the most loyal generals of the Chen family. They inherited the blessings of their ancestors and became the priests of the eternal tribe. They held high positions, enjoyed the best food, and received the best respect.
But among these four people, I can't see any one respecting me.
On the contrary, they looked at me with strange expressions from time to time, and two of them even had an imperceptible cold look in their eyes.
I know everything in my heart, and I know that my sudden appearance must have affected the interests of some people. Even though their ancestors fought bloody battles for the Chen family, as descendants, they have long forgotten what they were born to do...
…
On the contrary, those ethnic groups with low status showed respect and excitement in their eyes. They were ecstatic about my return and burst into tears...
I also learned that the Eternal Tribe, which has no clan leader, has become the private domain of the four priests. Not only did they carve up the best food and resources in the tribe, they also took the beautiful women in the tribe as their little ones.
Concubine, forced the strong men in the tribe to become their personal guards...and all this is because there is no clan leader in the tribe. They have the highest status, the most power, and no one to control them, so they act recklessly.
Now, with the return of me, the young master of the Chen family, their interests are immediately threatened.
I glanced at Dong Shoucheng, who was not far away and was wearing sackcloth and performing filial piety, and something clicked in my mind: He is Dongbo's only son. He is in his early thirties and has amazing strength. He is the number one warrior in the tribe. His loyalty is no less than that of his father.
This is a man I can treat favorably...
After a moment of silence, I turned around and faced the four priests sitting beside me.
I stared at them. These four priests were quite interesting. I, the young master, had already turned around, but they were still sitting on their chairs without even moving their buttocks. See what they meant.
They want me to come and say hello to them first.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of my mouth. I remained calm and looked at the four priests who usually controlled the tribe...
I know they are trying to intimidate me!
The smile at the corner of my mouth gradually became colder!
At this time, Dong Shoucheng on the side also noticed this scene.
"Bold, young master is not sitting down. As priests, you dare not stand up and salute!" Dong Shoucheng roared.
He was extremely powerful and straight-tempered. His roar made countless eyes look over at him.
The four priests looked at each other in confusion. One of them, who had pigtails and was about to be in his early fifties, said lazily: "Your Majesty, please be patient. There are some things that we, as priests, have to understand clearly. It's not our responsibility to you."
No disrespect, but the sudden appearance and return of the young master is very strange, and it has not yet been determined whether this divine pendant is real or not..."
The words of this braided priest couldn't be more clear. He was questioning my identity.
Dong Shoucheng was speechless, he was a rough man, and his talk skills were no match for the braided priest.
I smiled coldly and without saying much, I pulled out a short knife from the side, put the stone pendant on the table, and hit it hard with the back of the knife.
A sigh sounded slightly like it came from deep...
Immediately, all the tribesmen, men, women and children in the entire thatched house fell to their knees and called the young master loudly.
At this moment, the expression of the little braided priest changed slightly. He snorted coldly and said unwillingly: "Humph, the pendant of the gods is real, but now this priest suspects that you are a spy sent by the Five Clan tribe and deliberately used
This pendant of the gods wants to come to my eternal tribe to achieve an ulterior purpose..."
