Chapter 178 Tragedy

The Youchao clan, rumored to be one of the oldest human tribes, still exists in this world today, which is a miracle in itself.

In this day and age, most human tribes have actually become kingdoms.

The leaders of these tribes all declared themselves kings, following the example of the Yellow Emperor, and passed the throne to their descendants.

They all bestowed titles upon themselves, with small countries calling themselves earls and marquises, and large countries calling themselves dukes and even kings.

In the Central Plains, there were numerous states, numbering at least a hundred.

However, the Youchao clan still retained the traditional tribal structure.

The leader of the Youchao clan was elected by the people; the position was not hereditary, and the leader did not have many privileges.

Just like the Stone Raven tribe that Li Wei encountered during his first time traveling through time, the people there were simple and honest.

The current leader of the Youchao clan was Lin Ruhai's stepfather, Yanhu.

Li Wei's shout woke up Yan Hu, who was doing carpentry work in the yard.

"Wei Li, did you hunt this game?"

This is a dream created by Xie Dongshan using Lin Ruhai's memories as deduction material, so it is natural to implant memories of knowing Li Wei into the characters in these dreams.

"That's right, Uncle Yan. I'd like to have dinner with you tonight. Aunt Lan, please help me cook this rabbit and pheasant."

Li Wei handed over the game with a smile.

Aunt Lan is naturally Lin Ruhai's mother, Lan Shi.

In Xie Youshan's setting, Li Wei had lived next door to Yan Hu's family since childhood, and the two were quite familiar with each other.

Yan Hu naturally did not refuse, and took the game to find his wife.

Li Wei then walked into the Yan family's courtyard.

Yan Hu was able to become the tribal chief, which naturally meant he had some skills, mainly his carpentry skills.

When a cultivator with divine treasures becomes a carpenter, his efficiency is exceptionally high.

Moreover, his skills are excellent, and the things he makes are exquisite.

Besides his own tribe, he often led his people to work in neighboring tribes to earn money.

Over time, Yanhu accumulated enough prestige within the clan to inherit the position of leader.

Li Wei looked around the courtyard and felt that these purely wooden structures were even more exquisite than those of later generations.

After all, there are no divine cultivators in later generations who would become carpenters.

No, there are still some.

His father-in-law, Lin Yishui, a cultivator from the Divine Treasury, seemed to have a particular fondness for carpentry.

Wait a minute, he also has the surname Lin. Could he be related to Lin Ruhai?

Li Wei's thoughts were wandering. An hour later, the Yan family started their meal, setting up a table in the courtyard.

At this moment, the two boys from the Yan family came out of their room.

The older one, about fifteen or sixteen years old, was naturally the young Lin Ruhai, and his expression looked somewhat gloomy.

That's normal. His mother married Yanhu only a few years ago. He was old enough to understand by then, so he naturally knew that Yanhu wasn't his father.

Children like Lin Ruhai, who grow up in blended families, will inevitably feel like they are living under someone else's roof, no matter how good their stepfather is, and naturally they cannot be happy.

The other boy, who was only a few years old, was naturally Lin Ruhai's half-brother, Yan Tianqi.

That's a grand name, but I wonder if I'm destined for it.

If what Lin Ruhai said is true, and Youchao died that night, then Yantianqi probably also died young.

Putting aside these jumbled thoughts, Li Wei took the initiative to greet the two boys.

Although Lin Ruhai was aloof, he returned the gift in accordance with the rules his mother had set beforehand.

Yan Tianqi, being young and unaware of the rules, simply smiled at Li Wei before sitting in Lan Shi's lap and starting to eat.

After a dinner party, Li Wei learned a lot about the glorious history of the Youchao clan from Yan Hu's casual conversation.

It turns out that the Youchao clan was the first human tribe to invent houses and clothes. At that time, even the demon race had not yet been banished to the mortal realm; it was a truly primitive era.

Li Wei knew that although these inventions were simple, they genuinely improved the possibility of the continuation of the human race and were certainly of great merit.

Although Youchao was weak, he lived a very comfortable life. Other tribes did not eliminate or annex them, probably because they were wary of his merits.

Up to this point, the dream has been generated based on Lin Ruhai's memories, but what will happen at night when Lin Ruhai loses his memories should be dominated by the world memories triggered by Xie Youshan.

By then, even Xie Youshan will be unable to control this dream world.

That's why she said there was danger.

After finishing his meal, Li Wei left the Yan family's courtyard and returned to his own home, where he sat quietly waiting.

His divine sense quietly probed out, enveloping the entire core area of ​​the Youchao tribe.

The power in this dream is entirely based on imagination.

Of course, this isn't just wishful thinking.

Generally speaking, the strength of a force in reality is directly proportional to the strength one can imagine in terms of combat power.

After waiting for about three hours, in the middle of the night, Li Wei finally noticed the unusual activity.

A group of men in black flew down from the sky.

In other words, they are at least Dharma Aspect cultivators.

The strongest members of the Youchao clan were only a few elders at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Most of the able-bodied men like Yan Hu are just cultivators with divine treasures.

They couldn't stop these men in black at all.

Li Wei knew this was a dream, so of course he wouldn't stop them or interfere with the dream's progression.

He immediately withdrew his divine sense, used the Invisible Form technique, and disappeared into the night.

The group of men in black arrived at the core area of ​​the Youchao clan, landed, and then separated to surround the area.

What followed was indiscriminate slaughter.

The bloody scene made Li Wei's brow twitch.

The members of the Youchao clan were alarmed and rushed out of their houses to defend against the attack.

But it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Before long, this group of people arrived at the Yan family's residence.

Yan Hu had already woken up by this time. He knew he was in trouble, so he told Lan Shi to take the two children and run away, while he stayed behind to hold off the enemy.

But without any suspense, the opponent killed Yanhu in a single move.

Although it was just a dream, Li Wei still felt a surge of anger when he saw Yan Hu, this kind and amiable uncle, die in front of him.

Lan was quickly caught up and his leg was broken.

Both children were also captured by the men in black.

"Who are you? Why are you trying to harm us?"

Lin Ruhai roared angrily.

"This is the child," the man in black, who was holding Yan Tianqi, chuckled and said, ignoring Lin Ruhai's words.

Yan Tianqi was so frightened that he burst into tears, and then the man in black who was holding him flicked his hand and knocked him unconscious.

"What about the big one?" the man in black, who was holding Lin Ruhai, asked the leader of the group.

"It seems he is not of the Youchao clan's bloodline, and is a half-demon—that's rather strange."

"But he also inherited a lot of the fortune of the Youchao clan, so it seems that he has been included in the clan genealogy."

"Keep it; otherwise, our future Human Emperor's aura is too strong, which isn't necessarily a good thing."

"Yes!" the man in black who was holding Lin Ruhai said, and with a burst of light from his right hand, he aimed for Lin Ruhai's forehead.
