Chapter 18

The next day as I woke up I saw that the preparation of the funeral was already completed. Looks like they worked all night and the damage to the territory is already taken care off.

I go to the discussion hall and sit next to the Patriarch seat, as the position of patriarch is not decided yet. After waiting for sometime everyone started to come in the hall and sat.

Shen Xiu sat by my side and Shen Yuan sat in front of me.

After everyone has come I said "So what is the situation."

Shen Yuan replied "Young Master the funeral preparations are completed. And I think today we should do the funeral of our guards. And the patriarch and Shen Yue funeral should be done tomorrow."

"Why not we should do it today?" I said.

"Because the other two Major Families were also attacked last night but the damage was not too serious." He replied.

After thinking for sometime "Alright we will do it as you say. Now tell me what is the number of casualties."

He said "Because we were ambushed the casualties are very much. There were 237 casualties in Bronze rank fighters, 154 casualties in silver rank fighters and 15 gold rank fighters. That makes it 406, which means 3/5 of our guards are eliminated."

" That's truly a very bad thing for us ." I said.

Elder Shen Xu then said "Young Master there is another bad news."

" Tell me." I said.

" Alright. As you all know the Patriarch was killed yesterday so we not only lost the patriarch but also our families one of the three Black Gold Demon Spiritualist and that now eliminates us from being one of the three Major Family of Glory City." He said.

Everyone started to whisper among themselves about our family downfall.

" Everyone relax as I have already thought something for this." I said.

"What is it Young Master, tell us quickly." Shen Xu said.

" The solution which I have thought is that to give this pill here to Shen Yan as he is the only one who is eligible to use it. This pill is called Soul accumulating pill, it helps to accumulate your inner soul force and potential of your soul to breakthrough to higher realm but it is only useful in breaking through from Gold Rank to Black Gold Rank, it's side effects will be that you will never be able to breakthrough to legend rank and I have only one pill of it and as Shen Yan is closest to Black Gold Rank he can definately be successful." I said.

" That's a very miraculous pill young master, where did you get it." Shen Xu said.

" I got it from our treasury, it was probably put there by our ancestors." I said and it was true but I didn't say that I can also made it. But the problem was if the person is not on the last stage of breaking through to Black Gold Rank then he will die by using it, so basically it is last ditch effort pill.

" So that's the case. Then Shen Yan are you willing to sacrifice your future for the family." Shen Xu sighed and then asked Shen Yan who is also here.

" I will definately use it because it will at least take me two - three years to breakthrough without it and I don't think that I can breakthrough without it to legend rank in my life." Shen Yan said enthusiastically.

"Well then take this pill and breakthrough today after the guards funeral." I said and gave him the pill.

After that we talked about some miscellaneous things and left for the funeral site.

The guards funeral is done collectively by burying them in the funeral ground. Then we left for the preparation for the next day.

I go towards my room and find Shen Xiu there so I said "Aunt Xiu, is there something you need."

"No, I just wanted to ask if you are okay as you should be exhausted from today's work." She said, concern showing on her face for me.

"I am okay aunt and if you really want to help me can you observe the preparations for yesterday." I said.

"Alright, now go and rest well." She said and left.

After I lay on my bed I quickly sleep.

The next day as I woke up I realised that it was already 6 in the morning, so after some stretching and training I take my bath and wear a royal and exquisite clothes.

I go outside and after observing everything I go in the main hall which is prepared for the funeral. I saw Shen Xiu there, so I go towards her and asked " How is the preparations going on?"

She was startled by me standing so close to her back and after composing herself she said "Everything is ready, the guests will start to arrive in some minutes."

"Then I should go to greet them." I said and go towards the entrance of the hall.

After waiting for sometime I saw a group of people coming, they were of members of the noble families I greeted them and they said "Our condolences for you loss."

I nodded and said "Please take your seat."

After the other noble families, the Noble Family of Winged Dragon came and said "Our condolences young Shen Fei."

" It's Ok, please take your seat." I said and also saw Xiao Ning in the back, she also said her condolences and I nodded towards her.

Then 10 minutes later the Divine Family and Snow Wind Family came. Ye Zong and Chen Zhenlong said their condolences and sat on their seat.

After that the funeral proceeded, and after 2 hours the funeral was completed and Shen Yue and Shen Hong were put with the ancestors.

As everyone started to go, I go towards Ye Zong and Chen Zhenlong and said "I want to prepare a Meeting of us, day after tomorrow to talk about attack."

" Don't worry kid I have already started the preparation and you should come to our mansion, day after tomorrow at 5 in the evening." Ye Zong said and after that left.

After the funeral I go towards my room and there proceeded to cultivate my soul realm and at night I quickly slept as I was exhausted mentally.
