三 days after the beast tide ended, all the clanspeople gathered on Da Rong Island to hold a funeral for the five members of the clan who had sacrificed themselves to the water devils.
That day was drizzly, adding a touch of melancholy to an already solemn and grieving atmosphere.
At the end of the funeral, Li Zhizhun, as the clan leader, promised that the family would take good care of the wives and children of the five and provide them with generous compensation.
Li Zhirui stood by, watching the women and children cry inconsolably, and thought to himself: If one day, he were to be met with misfortune, would there be anyone grieving for him as these people were?
He hadn't come up with an answer when the funeral ended.
