The Yann Family ancestral home.
Dozens of people sat cross-legged within an Array, their eyes closed as they regulated their breathing and nourished their spirits.
A gloomy atmosphere filled the area.
Once the number one family in the Yunjing Commerce Association, the Yann Family had numbered in the thousands. Now, only these few dozen people remained to hold the line.
And their auras were all unstable. Most of them were injured, and they would cough from time to time, a testament to how difficult the situation had been for the Yann Family lately.
"Patriarch."
One person spoke, his voice weak:
"We can't go on like this. The Fang Family and the Sunx Family have the island's resources to support them. Even with the help of the Array, there will come a day when we are the ones who can no longer hold on."
A family cannot be without a leader for a single day.
