Clan Cultivation System: Each Breakthrough in My Clan Earns Me Rewards Chapter 47: Shen Liqian’s Speech (Unlock - with Coins!)
The corpse of the Cold-mane Longhorn Matriarch overshadowed the slowly approaching Snow Blue-eyed Tigress and the little cubs resting on her back.
Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the colossal carcass, whose existence alone could raze their village.
A few clan mbers wondered whether they had simply been lucky never to be invaded by such a monstrosity, or whether they were too insignificant.
Even so, everyone stood slack-jawed.
Killing the Cold-mane Longhorn Matriarch was too great a leap forward, and no one here could imagine repeating their clan chief’s feat.
Of course, no one believed Shen Taofeng and the others could have done it, and they were right.
Shen Lexi stood still, then felt a squeeze on her hand.
She looked to the side and saw her husband smiling faintly at her.
"Qian’er has grown up too fast, right?" he said.
Shen Lexi nodded.
"Yes."
Her fingers tightened around his, and the tension left her shoulders.
Sohow, those warm words lted her shock and let her smile proudly and happily at her son’s progress.
Shen Liqian noticed everyone’s reactions and let them admire the beast and consider their own possibilities.
Since everyone had co here, he decided to make a speech.
He waited a few minutes, then released his Qi, which drew everyone’s attention to him.
The square hushed as the pressure rolled over the crowd like a cold wind.
His eyes shone golden, and his presence was that of a man capable of anything.
With not so much as a single scratch on his clothes, Shen Liqian completed the impression.
"We are back ho," he began.
His simple words broke the ice and helped everyone co back to their senses.
Shen Liqian smiled broadly.
"My vassals and I had our first hunt, and it turned out more fruitful than I expected.
"I explored the depths of my own potential and prowess, and I expanded my understanding of the Shen Clan and our identity.
"I’d first like to introduce the new mbers of the Shen Clan."
At those words, everyone grew confused.
Could there be other humans confined in the Eight Crown-forged Mountains?
Shen Liqian, however, looked over his shoulder at the mature Snow Blue-eyed Tigress and her cubs.
She calmly walked forward, reassured by his gaze.
The cubs blinked at the crowd while their mother’s tail flicked once, asured and calm.
The Shen Clan held their breath as soon as she appeared beside him.
In their history, many people had fallen to those beasts.
So families’ hatred was directed mainly at the Snow Blue-eyed Tiger line.
That said, this particular beast was beautiful.
Her cubs were also imnsely adorable.
Shen Liqian put his hand on her head and scratched her fur.
"On this adventure, I have co to understand that the Shen Clan has beast-taming in our roots and perhaps in our blood.
"To beco beasts ourselves and to live and fight alongside the beasts: that’s what I’ve understood from our cultivation manuals.
"It beca reality once Senior Taofeng and his friends helped test that understanding.
"I truly believe that this is the right step for us to develop our identity and grow stronger as a clan."
His words stirred many thoughts.
So clan mbers imagined themselves fighting alongside beasts and pictured a future where they could expand their territory and seize more gifts.
Others couldn’t so easily see themselves this way.
And becoming beasts themselves felt impossible for most.
It was a difficult path, and Shen Liqian knew it.
He was also aware of its consequences.
He drew a deep breath and, with a wave of Qi, brought everyone’s attention back.
"I am not one to impose cultivation paths on others.
"You can forget about the beast-taming path.
"You can give it a go and see if it’s for you.
"The choice is yours.
"But I hope that all of you understand that I will never condone cruelty to beasts within our clan.
"The beasts will be our friends.
"Our beasts are our friends and family.
A few hunters lowered their eyes, and the murmurs thinned to silence.
"You don’t accept a beast into your family to be your shield or sacrificial lamb."
Shen Liqian sounded calm, but his aura turned lethal for a second as he stressed the words ’shield’ and ’sacrificial lamb’.
Shen Taofeng then raised his hand.
"Can... I add sothing?"
His lord nodded.
Shen Taofeng stepped forward.
"It never occurred to to think of myself as a beast or to ta them like this.
"But when I saw this mother of two surrounded by Cold-mane Longhorns and heard her pleading with us to save her children, I saw myself in her.
"I’d absolutely do the sa to save my kids.
His voice roughened on the word ’kids,’ and he steadied his breath.
"I know you can’t easily relate to this, but believe , we are similar."
The entire clan exchanged glances.
So nodded, so shook their heads, and so were still unsure.
Even so, the mood improved as the experienced hunter who had killed many beasts spoke about his true feelings.
Shen Liqian was thankful to Shen Taofeng.
He then continued with his speech.
All eyes fell on him.
He let the pause stretch, giving the clan a mont to breathe.
"I want to introduce the Shen Clan Winter Festival, which will take place in the coming days.
"We have grown stronger and bonded with the winter.
"In our simple, plain lives, we haven’t had many chances to celebrate our growth, breakthroughs, new findings, or hauls, anything really.
"In fact, we also haven’t had many chances to bond with one another.
"That’s why I have taken steps to create the Shen Clan Winter Festival.
"All of you are free to participate and bring your own identity.
"It can be anything: your own cooking, your secret thods to cultivate, or how you spend your ti with children and friends.
"I myself will prepare a few contests for everyone to enjoy, and each contest will have rewards!
"Various treasures and resources.
"Even the Cold-mane Longhorn Matriarch’s antlers, and other materials taken from her, will be part of the giveaways in the Shen Clan Winter Festival!
Faces lifted, and a ripple of surprised laughter slipped through the front rows.
"Look forward to it!
"If you have any questions, just ask or anyone from my council."
The word festival felt so foreign that no one could imagine it at first.
But then, the thought of spending ti in a jovial mood with others under the open skies hit everyone like a fever dream.
Shoulders loosened across the crowd as the word festival finally took root.
And the entire clan cheered aloud.
