When Li Yao and Wu Mayan arrived at the camp of the three tribes of the Burning Sun Tribe, the sky in the east of the city was almost on fire.
The thousands of qi-trainers of the Burning Sun Tribe were fully armed. Many of them had white cloth tied around their foreheads. Their sabers and swords were unsheathed, and their spiritual gas was rumbling, indicating that they were ready for a full-scale war.
Yan Xibei, on the other hand, was floating in midair in a wheelchair made of spiritual gas. He was roaring desperately and trying to control the situation.
The Giant Axe Tribe and the Feathered Snakes Tribe were also shocked when they heard that Yan Zhengdong had been killed. Not knowing what was going on, they were also prepared for battle.
The Giant Axe Tribe turned into a black swamp again. The shining axes were as dense as a forest of iron. One would feel cold to the bone if they looked at them.
The Feathered Snakes Tribe, on the other hand, was an ocean of spiritual beasts. Those animals did not have so many rules. Their roars and screams made the situation even more chaotic.
The qi-trainers of the Furious Bears Tribe were coming to the place incessantly. But since the situation was unclear, they could not act recklessly.
Although the Heaven Wolves Tribe and the Silver Moon Tribe were in a good relationship with the Furious Bears Tribe, they did not know which side they should take after hearing that the chief of the Burning Sun Tribe had been killed.
"Xiong Wuji, you killed my father. The Burning Sun Tribe will not rest until you are dead. War! Full-Scale war!" Yan Chihuo, Yan Zhengdong's youngest son, was standing on a heavy tank with a white cloth tied around his forehead. He was infuriated.
Yan Chifeng, Yan Zhengdong's eldest son and the best expert of the younger generation of the Burning Sun Tribe, was also wearing a white cloth, but he was silent inside the heavy tank.
On the tank was a long table covered by a white cloth in the shape of a human being. Brown blood stains were leaking out of the white cloth.
Xiong Wuji, on the other hand, was standing on another heavy tank. He bellowed and asked everybody to quiet down. Then he said solemnly, "Brother Yan Chihuo, we will definitely take full responsibility for what happened to your father in Furious Bears City. However, I don't have the motive or capability to kill Chief Yan at all. Do not be impulsive and do something that will please your enemies!
"Xiong Wuji, stop pretending. Everybody thinks that you are a hero and the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau!
"Damn you!
"I didn't know until today that you are so sordid, shameless, and sordid!"
Yan Chihuo pointed his finger at Xiong Wuji with tears in his eyes. "During the meeting yesterday afternoon, you had a big argument with my father. Late at night, my father went to look for you to discuss something, but when he came back, he was also furious! My father didn't sleep for half the night, sighing and groaning. He even said that he knew a big secret about you. If he told you, it would cause the Six Tribes to break apart. But if he didn't tell you, he would feel uneasy! "
"But this morning, my father died tragically in his bed! If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Who else?! "
"Today. All the chiefs and elders of the major tribes are here. Let everyone uphold justice for me and reveal the true face of this ambitious schemer! "
Gulei, the chief of the Giant Axe Tribe, jumped onto the heavy war chariot where Yan Chihuo was. He apologized to Yan Chifeng and asked him to lift the white cloth so that he could see the location of Yan Zhengdong's fatal wound. Then, he raised his voice and said, "Yan Chihuo, the chief of the Burning Sun Tribe was killed in Furious Bears City for no good reason during the meeting of the six tribes. It is indeed a major event that has never happened in the history of the six tribes of Iron Plateau for thousands of years!
"However, this matter is very strange. We can't jump to conclusions."
"Chief Xiong had a conflict with Chief Yan yesterday. It was undeniable that it happened in front of so many people. Perhaps, it is also true that the two of them parted on bad terms in a secret meeting late at night! You also said that Chief Yan knew a big secret about Chief Xiong. I believe that, too!
"However. Just based on this, could Clan Leader Xiong brazenly make a move in his own territory and silence them? It doesn't seem to make sense. "
The chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe, on the other hand, stepped onto the heavy war chariot with the two serpents as stairs. She examined the cause of Yan Zhengdong's death, too.
Then, she shrieked, "The Feathered Snakes Tribe and the Burning Sun Tribe have always been on good terms. Naturally, the Furious Bears Tribe is responsible for the death of Chief Yan in Furious Bears City!
"However, if Chief Xiong really wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't have resorted to such a crude method, would he?
"Everybody knows that he had a conflict with Chief Yan yesterday. Now that Chief Yan is dead, he will be the first suspect!
"If Chief Xiong is indeed the murderer, the Feathered Snakes Tribe will certainly stand on the side of the Burning Sun Tribe and seek justice for you, even if it means a total war!
"However, such speculation alone is not enough for us to fight each other!
"Just calm down. Let's investigate the case carefully. We must not let go of the real murderer!"
"Exactly!"
Xiong Wuji declared loudly, "It's true that Chief Yan and I had a conflict, but why would I kill someone in my own home city? Besides, I was heavily wounded in the battle against the apocalypse and had just put on an artificial limb. How could I have killed Chief Yan without making a sound? "
Yan Chihuo gnashed his teeth. "My father was old, and he was wounded when he was young. His blood was running low for a long time. However, he cared about his face a lot and liked to inflate his flesh with his spiritual gas when he was outside, pretending that he was vigorous. In fact, his capability had deteriorated a long time ago. Besides, he suffered internal injuries in the battle against the apocalypse, too!
"Even if you didn't do anything, there were so many experts in the Furious Bears Tribe. At least three of them could've killed my father in an ambush!
"As for the fact that you killed him in such a crude way, it was because the secret that my father knew was too shocking. Once it was revealed, your reputation would be ruined and you would be doomed eternally. Therefore, you were willing to take the great risk to kill him immediately!"
Xiong Wuji bellowed, "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext!"
The chief of the Giant Axe Tribe and the chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe frowned at the same time. "Yan Chihuo, do you have any solid proof?"
Yan Chihuo's eyes were like magma. He glanced at the two chiefs and suddenly burst into laughter that was even more unpleasant than crying. He raised his head and shouted, "Xiong Wuji, Xiong Wuji! For an ambitious man like you, it is quite remarkable that you have fooled everyone! It's a pity that the heavens have eyes and will not allow such a scoundrel like you to run wild for too long! You ask me if I have any proof? Alright. Let me ask you. Why did you have to get in touch with the space residents? "
Xiong Wuji replied resolutely, "For the future of Iron Plateau, of course!"
Yan Chihuo's face was completely twisted. He bellowed, "I can tell that you have been bewildered by the witch Sha Yulan!"
Everybody exclaimed in shock after hearing his words.
The qi-trainers of the Furious Bears Tribe were already furious after being scolded by Yan Chihuo for such a long time. They all began to curse him.
Even the chief of the Giant Axe Tribe and the chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe were secretly shaking their heads.
The chief of the Giant Axe Tribe said in a low voice, "Ah Huo, that's one thing. The issue between Sha Yulan and Wu Mayan has been settled in the arena. We are Iron Plateau natives, and we do not have the habit of not keeping our word. "
"Exactly!"
In the battle formation of the Giant Axe Tribe, a muscular man who was more than 2.5 meters tall suddenly walked out of the crowd. Waving two giant axes, he shouted at Yan Chihuo, "Years ago, when the three tribes gathered in Furious Bears City, we made a deal with Chief Xiong to decide the outcome of the battle in three rounds. Then we will not trouble that woman any more, and we will take her and her baby away. She and her child would be treated as common members of the Furious Bears Tribe!
"In the end, Clan Leader Xiong defeated me, Mountain Breaker Axe, fair and square in the arena!"
"Now, you are calling that woman a 'witch'. Aren't you humiliating me? Do you think that I'm the kind of person who doesn't keep my word?"
The qi-trainers of Iron Plateau valued their lives more than their promises. Since they had lost in the arena years ago, they had promised not to bother Sha Yulan and her son anymore. No matter what he thought, at least he couldn't reveal it in public.
But Yan Chihuo's' witch 'was a taboo. As a result, even the Giant Axe Tribe and the Feathered Snakes Tribe were hissing softly.
"Brother Yan Chihuo!"
Xiong Wuji held his head high and declared angrily. "Years ago, the Burning Sun Tribe, the Feathered Snakes Tribe, and the Giant Axe Tribe gathered in Furious Bears City and demanded that I expel Sha Yulan and her son from the city. At that time, we swore to the ancestors of the six tribes that we would decide the outcome of three battles! After we won all three battles, we stopped bothering about the identities of Sha Yulan and her son! As long as we lost one battle, we would banish them to the Desolate Plateau. They would be left to their own devices!
"As it turned out, I was lucky enough to win all three battles and earn the identity of a common member of the Furious Bears Tribe for them!
"Now, you are calling Sha Yulan a witch. Are you trying to overturn the result of the battle?
"As for what you said just now, I was bewitched by Sha Yulan.
"Hahahaha. So what if I was?
"As it happens, since so many qi-trainers of the six tribes of Iron Plateau are here today, I will make an announcement right here and now!
"That's right. Sha Yulan and I love each other. When the conditions are right, success will come naturally. I want to take her as my wife and never leave her!"
His declaration was like a gargantuan crystal bomb that blew up more than half of Furious Bears City!
"Ahhh!"
Wu Mayan shrieked and clutched Li Yao's waist.
The young man had known that there was something going on between his mother and his foster father, but he did not expect that his foster father would be so straightforward as to announce it in front of more than a hundred thousand people!
The qi-trainers of the major tribes were dumbfounded, too, especially those of the Burning Sun Tribe, the Giant Axe Tribe, and the Feathered Snakes Tribe.
They had thought that they had grasped Xiong Wuji's weakness. But now that he had announced it so openly, they did not know where to start.
Li Yao found Sha Yulan in the crowd. She was also dumbfounded. Her face was red, and she was about to pass out. There was no telling whether she was scared or happy.
Xiong Wuji narrowed his eyes. His voice turned aggressive as he said, "Brother Yan Chihuo, Sha Yulan is the woman I love most. She is also a member of the Furious Bears Tribe. I want you to apologize in front of everyone for calling her a witch!"
The aura of the 99th level of the Refinement Stage suddenly burst out like a tornado. Xiong Wuji became extremely intimidating all of a sudden!
Yan Chihuo's face was pale. He suddenly stepped back and swallowed hard, before he said, "Alright. I apologize. I was wrong about what I said just now. Sha Yulan is definitely not a witch!"
Everyone was dazed again.
For those who were familiar with Yan Chihuo's personality, they had thought that he would be stubborn until the end. They did not expect that he would give in so quickly.
Yan Chihuo suddenly changed the topic. He shrieked, "Before, I thought that Sha Yulan, a 'witch' from space, had been bewitching you with her pillow talk. That was why you decided to get in touch with the space residents!
"I was wrong. I couldn't have been more wrong!
"This morning, I finally learned that Sha Yulan was not a witch but a poor woman that you used as a disguise!
"You were not bewitched by her!
"From the very beginning, before she arrived on Iron Plateau, Xiong Wuji, you have been planning to get in touch with the space residents as an ambitious schemer. Everything has been under your control. Her arrival is just a perfect excuse for you to do so!"
"In the past, the qi-trainers of the Burning Sun Tribe, the Feathered Snakes Tribe, and the Giant Axe Tribe all thought that Sha Yulan had bewitched you and that you were just confused. In fact, you were not!
"The truth, or the great secret that my father discovered, was …"
Yan Chihuo pointed at Xiong Wuji's nose, his fingernails white and shivering.
Xiong Wuji's face suddenly turned extremely weird. The aura around him suddenly turned sharp beyond his control.
Brilliance beamed out of the eyes of the chief of the Giant Axe Tribe and the chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe. They stepped forward at the same time and blocked Yan Chihuo's path quietly.
"Xiong Wuji, you didn't see it coming?"
Yan Chihuo burst into laughter. "You thought that you could keep the secret forever by silencing my father. But you didn't know that my father had passed the secret to me before he died!
"Chiefs, elders, and seniors of the six tribes of Iron Plateau!
"Brothers and sisters of the major tribes!
"And the qi-trainers of the Furious Bears Tribe who were also fooled by Xiong Wuji!
"Listen up, all of you!"
"The man standing in front of you is a great hero who fought a calamity-level apocalyptic beast on his own. He is Xiong Wuji, known as the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau and the strongest expert of Iron Plateau!
"He is a space resident!"
He was really high today. For the first time since he started writing the book, he had finished six chapters in a day.
There was no time for that tonight. He had been too excited and finished two days' worth of chapters. He hadn't finished the outline of the book yet. He had to sort out the plot later tonight.
