There were a total of three thousand tribes in the Great Bei Clan, and they had been living in the inner region of the Holy Region for generations. The Ta Mu Tribe was only one of the weaker ones among them.
There were a total of one hundred and eight ancient tablets at the border of the inner region, and all of them were engraved with the Saint's Inscriptions. These one hundred and eight ancient tablets would often be rotated and guarded by the weakest tribes. For example, the Ta Mu Tribe would change every one thousand years, and it was their turn to guard one of the ancient tablets. The reason why only the weak tribes were made to guard the tablets was because no one had ever been able to remove the Saint's Inscriptions, and no tribe had ever been able to obtain any benefits from the ancient tablets … Guarding was just a formality without any meaning or benefits. It was only a way for the future generations to remember their ancestors. As such, only the weakest tribes were needed to be the coolies.
Every ten thousand years, the Holy Region would open once. This was also the time period that the Great Bei Clan hated the most. Every time this time came, there would be some extremely daring foreign clan cultivators who would try to enter the inner region and set foot on the holy land of the Great Bei Clan in search of treasures.
There were even some extremely daring foreign clan cultivators who would attack the Saint's Inscriptions. They didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!
Without the permission of the Saint, how could the first and second step cultivators touch the Saint's Inscriptions! Every time the Holy Region opened, there would be foreign clan cultivators who would be killed by the Saint's Inscriptions. There would also be some True Immortals with higher divine abilities who wouldn't be killed by the Saint's Inscriptions, but they would be severely injured. Very few people could escape unscathed from the Saint's Inscriptions. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would often be intimidated by the might of the Saint, and it might even leave a shadow in their cultivation for the rest of their lives …
Tagri was the patriarch of the Ta Mu Tribe and also the person with the highest cultivation base in this generation. His cultivation base had reached the Middle Stage of the Crossing Truth Realm, and he could be considered as one of the few True Immortal old monsters in the surrounding Great Bei Tribe.
Today, as usual, he led a portion of the tribe members to cultivate in the underground cave residence and carried out the duty of guarding the place that was rotated once every one thousand years. As a True Immortal old monster, he had to carry out the most boring task of guarding the place and was not allowed to leave his post. This made Tagri feel extremely sullen, but he had no choice. Who asked his Ta Mu Tribe to be weaker than others? In the tribe competition that was held once every one thousand years, the Ta Mu Tribe had already lost to the tribes of the southern region twelve times in a row and was ranked at the bottom … Weak tribes had to do the coolies without any complaints. This was the rule of the Great Bei Tribe.
In other words, the Tamu Tribe had been continuously at the bottom amongst the surrounding few tens of tribes for 12,000 years. Outsiders claimed that the Ta Mu Tribe was the weakest wolf in the southern region's prairie … This caused many men of the Ta Mu Tribe to be unable to raise their heads in front of outsiders! As the leader of the weakest tribe, Tagri also felt ashamed.
Fortunately, the time for guarding the Holy Monument was almost up, and the next Tribal Competition was about to begin.
Everyone was waiting to see the thirteenth ranking of the Pagoda Wood Tribe! This caused Tagri to feel even more suffocated in his heart!
For the sake of this Grand Competition, Tagori had made ample preparations. He didn't even hesitate to shamelessly borrow a few powerful magical treasures from a few of his old friends … In this Grand Competition of the Tribes, he wouldn't allow the Ta Mu Tribe to be at the bottom again. He wanted to lead the Ta Mu Tribe to break away from the fate of being the weakest in the southern border!
He had been waiting confidently for the arrival of one thousand years. However, he did not expect Ning Fan and the others to appear at this crucial moment. Moreover, they coveted the Holy Monument!
Damn it, was it the opening of the Sanctuary that happened once every ten thousand years? This group of murderous alien cultivators!
According to the rules of the Despicable Tribe, if the tribe guards the Holy Monument due to their negligence and allow the birds and beasts to touch the Holy Monument, they would be punished with a light crime and be sentenced to one thousand years of guarding the monument. If they allow the cultivators of the foreign races to touch the Holy Monument, they would be punished with a heavy crime. The clan leader would have ten percent of his cultivation base crippled and one thousand members of the tribe would be sacrificed to the Buddha … Those were the heaviest crimes among the heaviest crimes!
Therefore, when Tagri found out that Ning Fan and Old Wu wanted to touch the Saint's Inscriptions, he felt a chill run down his spine. If they really let the two of them touch the Holy Monument … Tagri did not dare to imagine the consequences. Not only would he have ten percent of his cultivation base crippled, but the most important thing was that the Ta Mu Tribe which did not have a lot of members would have a thousand good men sentenced to death for their crimes!
At such a critical moment, even though they knew that Ning Fan and Old Wu had the terrifying cultivation base of an ancient Immortal Venerate, Tagri and the other cultivators who guarded the Holy Monument still decided to take action.
Unfortunately, the result was obvious. With their insignificant abilities, they could not stop Ning Fan and the others at all.
"You … You all can't touch this monument. Even if I, Tagri, die in battle today, I will protect this monument!" Tagri gritted his teeth and said in a tough tone.
According to the rules of the Da Bei Tribe, if the tribe leader dies for the sake of guarding the monument, the other members of the tribe would be pardoned for their negligence of duty and be exempted from the punishment of killing one thousand people.
Tagri had also thrown caution to the wind. If he really could not stop Ning Fan and the others from touching the Holy Monument today, he would not regret dying in battle here. At least, he could protect the lives of one thousand men in the tribe. Humph. The people of the prairie never lacked courage. Why would they hesitate to fight?!
Even if the other party was an ancient Immortal Venerate! He was an existence that he must look up to!
Ning Fan's slightly cold eyes softened.
According to his personality, if he was ambushed, he would retaliate no matter how strong or weak the opponent was. However, what he did not expect was that this Du Zhen cultivator of the Da Bei Tribe in front of him seemed to have a backbone. He was willing to die in battle just to protect the Holy Monument …
Recalling Zang Yue's reminder that it was not advisable for him to become enemies with the Da Bei Tribe during this trip, Ning Fan's eyes calmed down. He gently waved his hand and restrained Old Wu, not allowing him to touch the cultivators of the Da Bei Tribe in front of him.
"Who are you people? Why are you stopping me from collecting these words? "Ning Fan asked indifferently. He did not continue to collect the Saint's words.
Firstly, it was because he realized that the people of the Da Bei Tribe in this place seemed to be extremely averse to this kind of behavior. If he really becomes enemies with the Da Bei Tribe for the sake of collecting the Saint's words, it would be disadvantageous for him during this trip … Jiu Li's adulthood was of utmost importance. Compared to this matter, the Saint's words were not that important anymore.
Secondly, Ning Fan had also probed the strength of the Holy Monument the moment he took action. As a matter of fact, even though he had yet to finish collecting the Saint's words, he sensed an extremely dangerous qi from the Holy Monument the moment he took action. That level of danger had even exceeded the current defense of the God Extermination Shield. Moreover, it was still increasing as time passed by!
These Saint's words were too terrifying. It was definitely not something he could collect with his current strength. If he forcefully collects them, even though he would not suffer too much damage, he would only return empty-handed … Of course, if it was not because he was worried about the mood of the people of the Da Bei Tribe, Ning Fan would still be willing to give it a try.
Seeing that Ning Fan and the others did not continue to collect the Saint's words and did not plan to attack the Ta Mu Tribe, Tagri and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Tagri took a step forward and stood in front of the group of cultivators of the Ta Mu Tribe. He politely greeted Ning Fan.
"I'm Tagri, the leader of the Ta Mu Tribe of the Da Bei Tribe. Greetings to my friends who have come from afar … Guarding the Holy Monument is our duty. If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us."
Tagri's attitude was very humble. Even though the Da Bei Tribe was xenophobic, it would be a different story if the other party was an immortal venerated being of the past. After all, even in the Da Bei Tribe, immortal venerated beings of the past were also rare experts. Unless Tagri himself was also an immortal venerated being of the past, he would be an idiot to offend Ning Fan and the others.
While speaking, Tagri secretly observed the expressions of Ning Fan and the others. When he saw that they did not have any doubts about the word 'Da Bei', he could not help but feel moved.
It seems like these few foreign cultivators have heard of the Da Bei Tribe before. They are not the visitors who know nothing about the Da Bei Tribe …
"Since it's our duty, we indeed can't say that we have offended you. On the contrary, we were the ones who acted recklessly. We didn't know that this monument is the sacred relic of your tribe … If we touch this monument, I'm afraid that you guys, as the guardians of the monument, will not be able to bear the consequences." Ning Fan noticed the cold sweat on the foreheads of Tagri and the others and made a guess.
"That's right. Fortunately, you guys didn't touch the sacred monument. Otherwise, many men of our Ta Mu Tribe would have died because of your actions. You will also be hunted down by us, the five emperors of the Da Bei Tribe, because of this crime. You definitely won't be able to walk out of the Supreme Pill Sacred Region alive! "A few burly men of the Ta Mu Tribe who looked like hotheads shouted angrily.
"Shut up! In front of the immortal venerated being of the past immortal venerated beings, how can you be so presumptuous?! "Tagri was so scared that his soul almost flew out of his body. He scolded the burly men of the Ta Mu Tribe behind him.
The men of the Da Bei Tribe were born to be straightforward. Therefore, they were slightly weaker in terms of scheming and worldly wisdom. In short, there were many hotheads among the cultivators of this tribe. When they are infuriated, there would even be some low-level cultivators who would dare to scold an immortal king in front of him …
Of course, this did not mean that there were no cultivators in the Da Bei Tribe who were sensible. For example, Tagri was definitely not a hothead. Previously, he did not hesitate to attack Ning Fan and the others in order to guard the monument. Now that there was room for reconciliation between both sides, of course, Tagri would not allow his tribe members to offend Ning Fan again.
After being scolded by Tagri, the remaining cultivators of the Ta Mu Tribe no longer dared to speak carelessly. However, there were still many of them who were glaring at Ning Fan with fury in their eyes.
"… The divine ability that all of you used just now should be the Battle Soul Technique, right?" Ning Fan did not care about the rudeness of the burly men and changed the topic.
"That's right. What we used just now was indeed a type of combined soul technique. It can be performed by many people to increase the power of the divine ability. The cultivators of my Da Bei Tribe are basically born with medicine souls. What we cultivate is the medicine soul divine ability. Be it men or women, young or old, all of us are basically pill refinement masters. "Tagri sounded rather proud.
In this world, how many tribes could be born with medicine souls? Not many. Not many at all. The Da Bei Tribe was one of the few. As a cultivator of the Da Bei Tribe, they deserved to be proud of it and feel honored to be a cultivator of the Da Bei Tribe!
"Can cultivators from other tribes like us walk freely in the inner area of the Holy Region?" Ning Fan changed the topic again.
"To be honest, the inner area of the Holy Region is the holy land of my Da Bei Tribe. If it's a low-grade cultivator from another tribe, it's absolutely impossible for him to enter the holy land of my tribe. Once he or she enters, he or she will be expelled by my tribe if the punishment is light. If the punishment is severe, he or she will be sentenced to death … However, if a True Immortal Realm expert enters, it's a different story. As long as he or she performs three merits, receives six punishments and observes twelve prohibitions, he or she will be able to walk freely in the inner area. If he or she disobeys, he or she will still be expelled by the experts of my tribe … "Tagri said carefully, afraid that the 'three merits', 'six punishments' and 'twelve prohibitions' that he mentioned would arouse the disgust of Ning Fan and the others.
Ning Fan and the others indeed frowned.
Three merits, six punishments and twelve prohibitions? It seems like outsiders will be subjected to a lot of restrictions when they enter the inner area. I'm afraid they will lose a lot of freedom.
No one would be willing to be restricted for no reason. Be it Ning Fan or Old Wu, both of them were the kind of people who would never allow themselves to be at a disadvantage. As an immortal emperor, Zang Yue was even more unwilling to be restricted. Thinking of this, Zang Yue first let out a soft snort. When she was at her peak in the past, she had to force her way into the inner area of the Holy Region every time. Because of that, she would always be besieged by the immortal emperors of the Da Bei Tribe …
Unfortunately, she was no longer at the peak of her cultivation base in the past. She no longer had the qualifications to act recklessly in this place.
"… Little thief, we can't act as we please when we enter the inner area this time. We must accept the restrictions of the Da Bei Tribe. Otherwise, this trip will become extremely difficult … Besides, if we accept the restrictions of the Da Bei Tribe, we can also avoid many dangers and obtain a certain degree of protection from them. There are quite a number of ferocious creatures in the inner area … "Zang Yue sighed and advised Ning Fan through telepathy. She was afraid that Ning Fan was young and impetuous and could not accept the restrictions of others.
However, she did not expect Ning Fan to not care about the many restrictions of the Da Bei Tribe. Even though he was unwilling to do so, for the sake of Jiu Li's adulthood, as long as it did not violate his principles, he could give in a little.
"May I ask what the Three Merits, Six Punishment and Twelve Restrictions of your clan refer to?" Ning Fan asked calmly.
"The Three Merits refers to the fact that every foreign cultivator who enters the inner area must perform three Human Rank battle merits for our Da Bei Tribe. Everyone, don't worry. There are Immortal Venerables among you. Human Rank battle merits are as easy as flipping your hand to all of you. The Six Punishment … "
Tagri paused and looked at Ning Fan cautiously. Seeing that Ning Fan did not have much aversion to the word punishment, he continued. "The Six Punishment refers to the foreign cultivators who must receive six damaging punishments from our clan … This punishment cannot be avoided but it can be substituted. It will be calculated according to the number of people, excluding pets … There are four of you and you will have to receive a total of twenty-four punishments. With the cultivation base of the two ladies, I'm afraid that they will suffer some injuries and damage their foundation. However, if the two of you are Immortal Venerables, it will not be difficult for you to receive the damaging punishments …"
Ning Fan frowned slightly but he did not say anything. Seeing this, Tagri heaved a sigh of relief and continued. "The Twelve Restrictions refers to the twelve prohibitions that our Da Bei Tribe has against foreign cultivators … Don't worry. They are just some of the most basic prohibitions. As long as you don't do anything that infringes on the interests of our Da Bei Tribe, basically, you won't be subjected to any punishment."
Tagri then explained the content of the Twelve Restrictions in detail.
He was not stupid. These people in front of him were obviously people who had ulterior motives towards the inner area. They would certainly enter the inner area. The only difference was whether these people would enter by force or follow the rules. If they enter by force, their lives would be in danger. However, if they follow the rules … Tagri would welcome Ning Fan and the others to enter the inner area.
Excluding outsiders also depends on who you are excluding!
If Ning Fan and the others enter the inner area …
At this moment, Tagri already had a different thought. After confirming that Ning Fan and the others would indeed follow the rules, he would then make a bold decision.
He wanted to be the guarantor of Ning Fan and the others in the name of the clan leader of the Ta Mu Tribe!
"Even though there are only four people in this group, two of them are Immortal Venerables of the Ten Thousand Ancient Era! If I vouch for them, they will certainly be placed under the name of my Ta Mu Tribe. In that case, I can use the identity of the clan leader of the Ta Mu Tribe to invite the four of them to participate in the grand competition of my tribe! Humph. If my tribe has Immortal Venerables of the Ten Thousand Ancient Era, even if these few people have been punished and their cultivation bases are limited, they definitely won't be at the bottom of the grand competition. I'm afraid they can even get an extremely good ranking! "
Thinking of this, Tagri became more enthusiastic towards Ning Fan and the others. After confirming that Ning Fan and the others would abide by the rules, Tagri was even more overjoyed and told them about the guarantor system of the Ta Mu Tribe.
"… In other words, if we want to enter the inner area, we must join any of the tribes of your clan in name?" Ning Fan asked with surprise.
"That's right! Even though you have two Immortal Venerables of the Ten Thousand Ancient Era, if you are punished, your cultivation base will certainly be greatly limited. The cultivation base that you can display will probably not exceed the Shedding Void Realm … If you join other tribes, the other tribes will at most treat you as Shedding Void Realm but they won't treat you too courteously. After all, in most of the tribes of my Ta Mu Tribe, there is no lack of Shedding Void Realm guardians. However, my Ta Mu Tribe is different. Our tribe doesn't have Shedding Void Realm guardians. If you join my Ta Mu Tribe, I, Tagri, can guarantee that we will never humiliate foreign cultivators like the clan leaders of other tribes. We will certainly treat you with the highest degree of courtesy! "
Tagri promised solemnly.
Ning Fan was inwardly surprised.
He did not know that a cultivator's cultivation base would be restricted after receiving the six punishments and they would not be able to display the full strength of the Shedding Void Realm guardians. Tagri did not explain it in such detail just now … Moreover, he did not know that if they join other tribes, they might also be humiliated by them …
"… The cultivators of the Ta Mu Tribe are all made of muscles. They are not friendly to outsiders. There are very few cultivators who treat outsiders with courtesy like Tagri. They are also very unreasonable … Erm, it doesn't seem to be accurate to put it this way. In short, after you come into contact with the cultivators of the Ta Mu Tribe, you will know that the dullness of most of the cultivators of the Ta Mu Tribe is far beyond your imagination … As for the six punishments, you don't have to worry about it. The so-called restriction of cultivation base actually doesn't have much of an impact. As for the specific reason, you will know about it later …" Zang Yue secretly transmitted his voice to Ning Fan.
"You mean, we are going to join the Ta Mu Tribe just like that?" Ning Fan asked through telepathy.
"Mm. If we join such a weak tribe, we can receive enough attention and courtesy." Zang Yue answered.
"Alright. You know a lot about the inner area. I will listen to you."
Ning Fan pondered for a moment and agreed to Tagri's invitation. After discussing some details, they officially entered the inner area of the Holy Region with the Ta Mu Tribe as their guarantor.
This time, Tagri had been guarding the Sacred Monument for almost a thousand years. There was less than a month left until the grand competition between the tribes. According to the rules, they could already leave this place and prepare for the grand competition. There was no need for them to guard the Sacred Monument anymore.
This also meant that there would be a period of time when the guards of the Sacred Monument would be absent for the next few days. During this period, if anyone touches the Sacred Monument, the Ta Mu Tribe would not be held accountable …
After Ning Fan agreed to join the Pagoda Wood Tribe, Tagri had secretly told him about this.
"… If you really can't forget about the Sacred Monument, you can secretly go and check on it during the period of time when the guards are absent. As long as you act discreetly and don't get discovered by my tribe, it will be fine …" Sure enough, Tagri knew how to conduct himself. If it was any other muscular and burly man of the Ta Mu Tribe, he would certainly not say something like this …
"Thank you for the reminder." Ning Fan accepted Tagri's goodwill. He also hoped to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Tagri, the clan leader of the Ta Mu Tribe, during his stay in the inner region. In this way, his trip should be a lot smoother.
As they chatted along the way, Ning Fan also obtained a lot of information from Tagri. For example, the area that he entered was a continent called the Southern Grassland in the inner region of the Holy Region.
The inner region of the Holy Region was formed by tens of thousands of broken continents. Most of them were desolate and uninhabited. Spiritual qi was scarce. Only a few continents were suitable for living and were inhabited by the cultivators of the Da Bei Clan for generations. The Southern Grassland was one of them. There were 107 continents like the Southern Grassland which coincided with the number of Sacred Monuments.
Therefore, many cultivators of the Da Bei Clan firmly believed that it was because of the existence of the 108 Sacred Monuments that the people of the Da Bei Clan were able to preserve the 108 places to rest.
On the Southern Grassland, there were a total of 35 tribes. The Ta Mu Tribe was just the weakest among them. The rest of the tribes were basically guarded by She Kong …
In another month's time, it would be the grand competition of the Da Bei Clan. Each continent would hold a minor competition first. The weakest tribe would be punished to guard the monument for a thousand years while the strongest tribe could head to the continent of the Middle State and participate in the next round of the grand competition!
"… As for the minor competition of the Southern Grassland, as long as you all put in a little effort, you will definitely not be the last place. You can forget about getting the first place. After the punishment, sigh … none of you will be able to get the first place in the Southern Grassland. What a pity. If you can get the first place, you will be able to participate in the grand competition of the Middle State. If you get a good ranking in the grand competition, you might even gain the favor of the five emperors of the Middle State and obtain great benefits … Forget it. I am already extremely satisfied that my Ta Mu Tribe is no longer at the bottom. Humph! The Evil Goat Tribe even said that they would be three thousand points ahead of my tribe in this grand competition … Let's see who will be in the lead this time!"
While chatting with Ning Fan, Tagri angrily told Ning Fan about the current situation of the Ta Mu Tribe.
It also made Ning Fan speechless. He did not expect that the Ta Mu Tribe that he had joined was not only the weakest tribe in the Southern Grassland but also the weakest tribe in the entire Da Bei Clan …
However, even the weakest tribe had a Mid Du Zhen Realm expert. Ordinary tribes all had She Kong Realm experts. Most of the tribes in the Middle Stream basically had Fragment Sense Realm experts.
In the Da Bei Clan, there were more than seventy tribes that had Immortal Venerables and seventeen tribes that had Immortal Kings!
On the surface, the Da Bei Clan only had five Immortal Emperors who were the five emperors of the Middle State. However, Tagri secretly told Ning Fan a piece of shocking news.
The Immortal Emperors of the Da Bei Clan were not as simple as the five emperors of the Middle State. There were only five emperors in the Middle State. Every time an Immortal King breaks through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, he or she would be promoted to become one of the five emperors of the Middle State. As for the five emperors who were pushed down, they would go to the most forbidden area of the Da Bei Clan to cultivate and ignore the mundane affairs …
With Tagri's status, he was not qualified to know how many Immortal Emperors there were in the Da Bei Clan. However, he was certain that there were definitely more than five of them!
It seemed like his decision to not fall out with the Da Bei Clan as soon as he entered the inner area was really a correct one …
Ning Fan tried to find some information about the Nine Raccoon Sacrificial Artifact. He was very tactful with his words. He did not mention the sacrificial artifact but he could not even get any useful information.
As expected, I can only find the Nine Raccoon Sacrificial Artifact by myself …
The Ta Mu Clan was built on a grassland in the central region of the Southern Border. Different from the scene that Ning Fan had imagined, the members of the Ta Mu Clan did not live in underground caves. Instead, they lived in tents. They would only enter the caves when they were cultivating. As for their daily lives, they would stay in the tents.
The Ta Mu Clan did not have a large population. It only had around thirty thousand members. This was related to the bloodline of the Da Bei Clan. Most of the members of the Ta Mu Clan were born with a medicine soul. However, it was extremely difficult for them to reproduce. Therefore, their clan could not be large. In the entire grassland of the Southern Border, there were only fifteen clans that had more than one hundred thousand members.
It had been a thousand years since Tagri went out to guard the sacred monument. The guards of the Ta Mu Clan who were wearing leather armor and long boots were having a conflict with a group of people outside the clan.
At this moment, the chiliarch of the Ta Mu Clan, Mu Ka, was arguing with the young clan leader of the Evil Goat Clan.
"I lost my Mo River Pearl the last time I came to your Ta Mu Clan. What's wrong with me wanting to search the entire clan? Why are you stopping me from doing this?!" Xianyu Chun glared at Mu Ka with a slightly domineering look. He was the dignified young clan leader of the Evil Goat Clan. How dare a mere chiliarch like Mu Ka talk back to him? How outrageous!
"What a joke! Everyone knows that my lord's Mo River Pearl is a treasure of the Southern Border. It can gather spiritual qi from all directions. If it's really in my Ta Mu Clan, it will naturally trigger a change in the spiritual qi … The Mo River Pearl isn't here at all. My lord just wants to find an excuse to enter the medicinal pond of my Ta Mu Clan and collect the medicinal essence of the pond, right? Now that the clan leader of my Ta Mu Clan isn't here, you want to take the opportunity to bully my clan. Am I right?! " Mu Ka said angrily. It was hard for this muscular man to actually understand Xianyu Chun's true intention. Xianyu Chun's excuse was really too lousy. Anyone could understand it.
Of course, that was only for ordinary people.
The cultivators of the Da Bei Clan were mostly stupid. Not everyone could understand Xianyu Chun's true intention.
"What?! The young clan leader of the Evil Goat Clan actually has such an intention?! He is coveting our thousand-year medicinal essence! "Some of the guards of the Ta Mu Clan were astonished.
"I actually believed that he lost the Mo River Pearl. I even helped him look for it for half a day!" Another Ta Mu Clan member who had a low IQ said in shame.
"… Lord Mu Ka, I found the Mo River Pearl! I found it in my old mother's sheep pen! " A Ta Mu Clan member who looked even more stupid ran over at this moment while holding a stone that was about the size of a goose egg.
That's a stone! There's even sheep dung on it!
It can't even shine. What a bullshit pearl!
Why are my subordinates so stupid?!
Mu Ka felt a splitting headache. However, it wasn't a good time to reprimand his subordinates' stupidity. He could only argue with the young clan leader of the Evil Goat Clan.
"Lord Xianyu Chun, I have seen through your scheme!" Mu Ka roared in anger.
"What?! You actually saw through the brilliant scheme that I spent ten days to come up with! "Xianyu Chun had an extremely shocked expression. It seemed like his intelligence wasn't that high.
"Actually, I had already received a report from my informant three days ago. He said that my lord would have such a plan. Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine that the loss of the pearl was just a pretense … This plan is indeed flawless, but it's a pity that God disposes. Your Evil Goat Clan has a traitor …" So Mu Ka wasn't that smart after all …
"What?! There's a traitor in my clan who leaked my plan?! Tell me, who is that traitor?! "Xianyu Chun was furious.
"Do you think I'm stupid enough to tell you who the traitor is?! I will never tell you that the traitor is your cousin, Xianyu Zhu! "Mu Ka didn't realize that he had let the cat out of the bag.
"Damn it. You actually didn't tell me … Wait, you said Xianyu Zhu just now. It's him, right?!" Xianyu Chun reacted.
Mu Ka realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and was instantly shocked. He quickly changed his words. "No, I was just talking nonsense. It's not Xianyu Zhu. It's someone I don't know who told me."
"So it's not Xianyu Zhu. It's someone you don't know who told you …" Xianyu Chun believed him.
"Then … If you have time, come to my clan and tell me who in our clan you don't know. I want to find the traitor that you don't know!" Xianyu Chun ordered stupidly.
"I refuse. I am the Thousand Men Commander of the Ta Mu Tribe. I refuse to listen to your orders!"
"What? You dare to refuse my orders?! You … "
Xianyu Chun was furious. Just as he was about to explode, a shrewd Evil Goat Tribe Warrior secretly transmitted a message to remind him. "Young Tribe Leader, don't forget our purpose of coming here. There's no need to waste time with Mu Ka …"
"That's right! I actually forgot that we are here for the Thousand Year Medicinal Marrow. Uh, I forgot to transmit my voice and accidentally said it … "The stupid Xianyu Chun forgot to transmit his voice and said his true purpose.
Instantly, the Ta Mu Tribe Warriors were enraged! What did they hear? They actually heard Xianyu Chun admit that they were here for the Thousand Year Medicinal Marrow!
What did the Evil Goat Tribe Warriors hear?! Their Young Tribe Leader actually wanted the Thousand Year Medicinal Marrow … Did they really think that their Tribe Leader was looking for the Desert River Pearl?! They were all pigs! They were all pigs!
"You are really here for the Thousand Year Medicinal Marrow. Even if I, Mu Ka, die in battle today, I will not let you take away our Tribe Leader's Medicinal Marrow!" Mu Ka and the group of Ta Mu Tribe Warriors all looked like they were ready to die. It was as if they were ready to die for the sake of protecting their Tribe Leader's Medicinal Marrow!
"Hmph, as long as it is something that our Young Tribe Leader wants, we will fight for it even if we have to die. Besides, we have Master Xie Lun who is at the Late Stage of Du Zhen. Let alone the fact that your Tribe Leader is not here, even if he is here, so what?! We will directly snatch it by force and carry out a raid. We can easily obtain the Thousand Year Medicinal Marrow! " The group of Evil Goat Tribe Warriors roared one after another. They looked like they were loyal enough to die for their Young Tribe Leader. With their stupidity, their loyalty was naturally not fake.
Xianyu Chun secretly cursed his own stupidity in his heart. How could he forget that his tribe's strength was far stronger than the Ta Mu Tribe? According to the tribe rules, tribes of the same continent were allowed to plunder each other. As long as they didn't kill anyone, they could plunder as they pleased. Plunder women and repairing resources were all allowed … Of course, married women were not allowed. This was the rigid rule of the Great Despicable Tribe …
I forgot, I forgot … I am the dignified Young Tribe Leader of the Evil Goat Tribe. There is no need for me to spend ten days to think of a peerless plan. I can just carry out a raid!
"In the name of the Young Tribe Leader of the Evil Goat Tribe, I will carry out a raid on your Ta Mu Tribe. I will plunder all your resources, plunder all your unmarried women, plunder all your Thousand Year Medicinal Marrow, plunder all …"
"Who dares to plunder my Ta Mu Tribe's things!"
This was the roar of rage from Tagli, who had just returned, soaring to the heavens!
He was furious. No matter how weak his Ta Mu Tribe was, they shouldn't be so weak that they could be bullied by others!
Could it be that this Xianyu Chun has forgotten that his Ta Mu Tribe still has the Corpse Devil Guards?! If he uses them, even if the Evil Goat Tribe sends out Late True Crossing Realm experts, what can they do? They will only suffer heavy casualties and return without accomplishing anything, alright?!
Erm, I forgot. With this Xianyu Chun's brain, I'm afraid he has completely forgotten about the Corpse Devil Guards of the Ta Mu Tribe … Tagli was speechless. He had forgotten the fact that there were very few intelligent people in the entire Great Despicable Tribe.
Speaking of which, why didn't Muka and the others send out the Corpse Devil Guards to guard the tribe when they were outnumbered?
Erm, I forgot … With the intelligence of Muka and the others, I'm afraid they have also forgotten about this …
It's really a conflict between a group of fools …
Tagli glanced at Ning Fan and the others with a hint of shame and descended outside the tribe.
He clearly saw the strange expressions on their faces. Zang Yue was the only one who seemed to be used to it, as if he was used to seeing the stupidity of the Great Despicable Tribe.
How embarrassing …
"This Great Despicable Tribe is quite interesting …" Ning Fan rubbed his chin and revealed a faint smile.
"The Great Despicable Tribe is the descendants of the medicine slaves of that Herb Gatherer Saint. Their minds are incomplete and it's caused by a man-made disaster … There's an ancient saying that nine out of ten cultivators of the Great Despicable Tribe are pure. This is a saying that existed in our era. In the previous era, not everyone knew about it. In the current era, I'm afraid you haven't heard about it at all …" Zang Yue transmitted his voice to Ning Fan.
"Didn't you say that you don't know much about the Great Despicable Tribe?" Ning Fan said angrily. Why does it seem like I know everything now?
"I'm referring to the fact that I don't know much about the cultivators in the upper echelons of the Great Despicable Tribe. The waters are very deep …" Zang Yue was a little worried. Then, he changed the topic and said, "You should just watch the show. I'm afraid this is your first time encountering such a conflict between fools since you started cultivating. The Great Despicable Tribe is really strange … Of course, not every member of the Great Despicable Tribe is like this. It's impossible for cultivators who can cultivate to the Eternal Ancient Realm to be mentally handicapped …"
The others followed Tagli and descended one after another.
The foolish guards from both sides only glanced at Ning Fan's group once and then ignored them.
At this moment, both sides were in a dispute. They did not have the time to pay attention to Ning Fan's group at all. Even if they felt that Ning Fan's group's attire was strange, they did not have the time to ask.
Today, the guards of the Tower Wood Tribe and the guards of the Evil Goat Tribe must compete against each other!
"So it's Patriarch Tagli who has returned. You've come at the right time. Hand over your Thousand Years Medicinal Essence!" Xianyu Chun's eyes flashed with cold light. Even though he was a fool, his temperament was the most ruthless and merciless. Since he had decided to shed all pretenses of cordiality with the Tower Wood Tribe, he would never show mercy.
"You want to snatch my Medicinal Essence? Don't even think about it!"
"Humph! Tagli! Even though you are at the Mid True Crossing Realm, don't forget that we have a Late True Crossing Realm cultivator here! If you know what's good for you, hand over the Thousand Years Medicinal Essence. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless! "Xianyu Chun clapped his hands. Immediately, a fat cultivator wearing a monk's robe walked forward from behind him.
"Venerable Xie Lun …" Tagli's eyes narrowed. This person's cultivation base was at the Late True Crossing Realm. In the grassland of the Southern Border, he was quite famous.
"Tagli, you are not a match for me! Our young master is a little weak but our patriarch is not a fool. I know what you are thinking. Unfortunately, I'm afraid we can't use your Corpse Devil Protector this time! Because my Corpse Devil Protector has also been brought here! If you use it, we will also use it! "
Xie Lun clasped his hands together. The entire ground suddenly trembled. Then, a crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the grassland and a trace of black qi floated out from it.
An extremely strong Thought Fragmenting Qi Force immediately spread out from it!
"Is this … the dead cultivator that I've seen in the forbidden area of the divine city?" Old Wu's eyes narrowed slightly and fell into deep thought.
"This is … a Corpse Devil that was killed by the medicine …" A ray of green light flashed across Ning Fan's eyes. He saw the corrosive medicinal qi in the bodies of the Corpse Devils. There's no mistaking it. All of them were killed by the medicine and turned into Corpse Devils.
It was a Corpse Devil that was exactly the same as the dead cultivators in the forbidden area of the divine city! Its four limbs were bound by chains and its body was surrounded by monstrous resentment.
Countless exclamations resounded in the surroundings.
No one had expected that Venerable Xie Lun would actually bring the Corpse Devil Protector of the Evil Goat Tribe here!
It was an Early Thought Fragmenting Corpse Devil! Once the Corpse Devil makes its move, blood would certainly be seen and there would be countless casualties!
"Xie Lun! Why didn't I know that you brought out the Corpse Devil Protector?! "Xianyu Chun felt a burst of anger.
"This is the order of the clan leader …" Xie Lun felt helpless. If he told the young clan leader everything, wouldn't everything be leaked?
"Forget it. Since it's my father's order, I'll let it go. But remember, there won't be a next time!" Xianyu Chun said coldly.
"Yes …" Xie Lun's back was drenched in cold sweat. Although Xianyu Chun was stupid, he was one of the best in the entire Southern Border in terms of ruthlessness. His aptitude for cultivation was also top-notch. This was also the reason why his father valued him and made him the young clan leader of the Evil Goat Tribe even though he was stupid …
After calming himself down, Xie Lun threatened Tagri. "Today's matter naturally doesn't need to use the Corpse Devils of both sides. Does Clan Leader Ta agree to this?"
"That's right. This time, there really isn't a need to use the Corpse Devils …"
Tagri snorted coldly and turned his body slightly, revealing Ning Fan and the others behind him.
"They are …" Master Xie Lun's eyes narrowed. Just by looking at the clothes of Ning Fan and the others, he knew that they were cultivators from other clans! Since these people were brought here by Tagri, it was obvious that Tagri had decided to be the guarantor and recruit these people to temporarily join the Tower Wood Tribe.
The Extreme Pill Sacred Region that only opens once every ten thousand years … Are these people the cultivators of the Eastern Heaven from the outside world mentioned in the legends …?
Since they were valued by Tagri, they shouldn't be too weak. Besides, they had yet to go through the six punishments. They must still have their original cultivation base. I must not be careless …
"Are you the leader of these people?!" Master Xie Lun asked Old Wu Ba.
Even though Old Wu Ba was a little ugly, he looked the most evil. Thus, he naturally gave people a strong feeling.
On the other hand, Ning Fan looked too gentle and refined. Zang Yue and Ouyang Nuan were both women. Thus, they were naturally ignored by Master Xie Lun.
"Me? I'm just a little loyal servant. This is the master! Your eyesight is a little bad, Junior. "
Old Wu Ba let out a cold snort. He took half a step back and stood behind Ning Fan. Then, he looked at Ning Fan respectfully with a flattering look.
Master Xie Lun frowned. A mere cultivator from the outside world actually dared to call him Junior … Then, he looked at Ning Fan doubtfully. This young man is so weak. How could he be the leader of this group of people? Unfortunately, his cultivation base was too low. He was only at the Late True Crossing Realm. If Ning Fan and Old Wu Ba deliberately concealed their strength, they naturally would not be able to see through his shocking cultivation base.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, could see that Tagri wanted to use their prestige to intimidate the cultivators of the Evil Goat Tribe. Thus, he could achieve his goal of defeating them without any bloodshed. Currently, both parties were in a cooperative relationship. If he only wanted to borrow their prestige, he did not mind helping them …
"Release your aura force. You don't have to restrain it. Don't hurt anyone either." Ning Fan gave Tagri a deep look and gave an order to Old Wu Ba.
Old Wu Ba's body immediately trembled! He was the most loyal servant in the world. He would definitely carry out his master's orders faithfully! As soon as the aura force dispersed, an earth-shaking aura force swept across the entire grassland like a violent gale!
The entire grassland of the Southern Territory was shocked!
It was because they could feel an ancient aura force coming from the direction of the Tower Wood Tribe!
"Ten … Ten thousand ancient Immortal Venerables!" Master Xie Lun's mouth and tongue trembled. He was standing too close to Old Wu Ba. Facing the aura force of Old Wu Ba directly was like an ant being pressed by Mount Tai. His entire body was in pain and he found it hard to move an inch!
It was unimaginable! Unimaginable! This time, the Tower Wood Tribe had actually recruited an Immortal Venerable cultivator from the outside world! If that was the case, not to mention the Tribal Grand Competition, they would definitely return empty-handed in this battle for the Medicine Essence!
"This matter is over. My Evil Goat Tribe was reckless!"
Master Xie Lun gritted his teeth. He knew that the situation was not good. At this moment, all he wanted to do was to escape.
Tagri let out a cold snort. Inwardly, however, he heaved a sigh of relief. Master Xie Lun was willing to give up. This matter couldn't be more appropriate …
Ning Fan also did not pursue and attack the Evil Goat Tribe. After all, he was just an outsider. It was their own business how the local tribes fought against each other. However, if he goes too far, it would easily cause the local tribes to suppress him …
He wanted to befriend the Tower Wood Tribe but he could not offend the other tribes too much … This was not his style. However, for the sake of his master, Ancient Chaos, he had to do this even if he was unwilling!
No matter how stupid the cultivators of the Evil Goat Tribe were, they knew that it was impossible for them to win against an ancient Immortal Venerables. Now, all of them just wanted to leave this place.
However, Xianyu Chun was unwilling to do so! His face was filled with uncertainty. He strode forward and pointed at Ning Fan with a trembling finger. He seemed to be extremely agitated.
"Y-Y-You …" He was so agitated that he could not speak a word!
Is he extremely angry?! Why is he so agitated?! Master Xie Lun cursed inwardly. His young clan leader is too stupid. If he insists on provoking Ning Fan … It's not right. It's not right! Even if Ning Fan is just an outsider and his cultivation base is unknown, no matter how weak he is, as long as he has an Immortal Venerables as his servant, he is definitely not an existence that the Evil Goat Tribe can afford to offend!
"Young clan leader, we can't offend this person!"
"Get lost! Get lost! Get lost! Of course, I know that this person can't be offended! Domineering! He's too domineering! Isn't this the reason why I, the young clan leader, have lived my entire life for such an awe-inspiring manner?! With just a single word, an Immortal Venerables' servant appeared, shocking everyone and causing the weather to change … It's too domineering! I've decided! "
* Plop *
Xianyu Chun knelt in front of Ning Fan.
"I want to acknowledge you as my master! I want to be like you! I want to live a glorious life! The Evil Goat Tribe is too small. The grassland of the Southern Border is too small! I want to be like you and be domineering! "
Ning Fan was stunned.
Did someone just acknowledge him as their master? By a peerless idiot? (To be continued.)
