Recently, the Black Luo Tribe had been very high-profile among the barbarian tribes in the southern barbaric lands. It could even be said that everyone knew about them.
No one knew what had gotten into them, but they kept accusing the other tribes of worshiping evil gods and that only the Black Luo Tribe worshiped true gods. Then, they used this as an excuse to attack the other tribes in a frenzy.
Most importantly, the Black Luo Tribe's strength had suddenly skyrocketed. This was simply incomprehensible.
The Black Luo Tribe was located on the outskirts of the southern barbaric lands, while the Runo Tribe was located deep in the southern barbaric lands. Both sides had never crossed paths before.
Therefore, when the Black Luo Tribe attacked, the Runo Tribe's leader was stunned. He had no idea what the other party was up to.
The Runo Tribe's leader was slightly different from the other barbarian tribes' leaders.
The other barbarian tribes' leaders were all muscular men. However, the Runo Tribe's leader was tall and skinny. He was not used to wearing battle armor. Instead, he wore a beautiful black robe produced by the humans. He looked like a priest.
When the Runo Tribe's leader heard the report from his subordinates, he snorted and said, "Is the Black Luo Tribe trying to unify the southern barbaric lands? How arrogant! Our Runo Tribe is not a small tribe that can be bullied. Since the Black Luo Tribe dares to come, don't even think about leaving! "
As he spoke, the Runo Tribe's leader immediately led his men and charged out.
Chu Xiu did not take part in this battle. However, he followed behind the Black Luo Tribe. If the Black Luo Tribe was not strong enough to annihilate the other party, it would not be too late for him to lend a hand.
However, when he saw the Runo Tribe's barbarian warriors, Chu Xiu suddenly frowned.
It was not because the Runo Tribe's barbarian warriors were too powerful, but because there was something wrong with the things they had.
Chu Xiu had given the Black Luo Tribe many armors and weapons in his capacity as a member of the Imperial Sky Pavilion. However, the Runo Tribe had even more weapons and armors. Moreover, their quality was even higher than what Chu Xiu had given to Hei Jie and the rest.
The battles of the barbarians had always been very simple. They didn't need to arrange their troops or arrange their formations. They would just start fighting directly. It was the same this time.
However, this time, the strength of both sides was a little too close. After fighting for a full hour, there was still no clear victor. However, both sides had suffered heavy casualties.
At that moment, the Runo tribe's chief saw that his tribe had suffered heavy casualties. He immediately shouted, "High Priest!"
As the voice of the Runo Tribe's tribe leader faded, the High Priest of the Runo Tribe, who was hidden in the depths of the tribe, immediately activated the formation. In an instant, all the warriors of the Runo Tribe on the battlefield were enveloped by a layer of silvery-white light. Meanwhile, the warriors of the Black Sieve Tribe were enveloped by a layer of black Qi that continuously corroded and devoured their power.
Chu Xiu's expression suddenly changed. This was definitely not a power that the Barbarian Tribe could control. It was a Formation, a Formation of the Human Tribe, and a Formation that was specially created to deal with the Barbarian Tribe!
Although the Runo tribe's chief was skinny, his strength was shockingly great.
The silvery-white, glowing blade in his hand slashed downwards, carrying with it the sound of a dragon's roar.
His blade was a supreme-grade weapon. Previously, after Hei Jie's bone hammer had been shattered, Chu Xiu had gotten him an inferior-grade weapon hammer.
It wasn't that Chu Xiu was stingy, but a weapon like a hammer had always been a niche weapon. Unless it was specially refined, there were very few of them.
The huge war hammer collided with the seemingly fragile blade, causing a huge crack to appear on the war hammer in Hei Jie's hand. Hei Jie was also struck by the sharpness of the blade, causing him to spit out blood.
At that moment, the blade light that resembled a bright moon descended. The invincible and powerful blade intent immediately repelled the Runo tribe leader, who had wanted to continue attacking.
The Runo tribe leader's strength was extraordinary. Even with Chu Xiu's current strength, it wouldn't be easy to get rid of him completely.
Just now, Chu Xiu had actually wanted to join forces with Hei Jie to attack him. However, in the end, Chu Xiu had given up on that idea.
He was now a Divine Envoy. How could a Divine Envoy attack others?
Most importantly, he wanted to give Hei Jie and the rest the impression that only he, Chu Xiu, could save them at the critical moment.
Hei Jie first bowed to Chu Xiu, then said with an ashamed look, "Sir Divine Envoy, Hei Jie is useless."
Following that, Hei Jie glared at the Runo tribe leader and said furiously, "I didn't expect the Runo tribe to use the Human Race's array formation! We definitely can't learn the Human Race's array formation. For you to be able to use it, you must have colluded with the Human Race! "
The Runo tribe leader also sneered and said, "You're still talking about me? Who's that standing beside you? Isn't he also a helper of the Human Race? No wonder the Blacknet tribe developed so rapidly. I didn't expect you to collude with the Human Race! "
Hei Jie sneered and said, "Sir Divine Envoy is detached from worldly affairs. He isn't just a Human Race!"
"What Divine Envoy? Hei Jie, I think you're seriously ill! "
The Runo tribe leader snorted coldly and surveyed his surroundings. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the Runo tribe to retreat and expand the array formation to envelop the entire tribe.
The Runo tribe leader wasn't afraid of Chu Xiu and the rest, but the losses would be too great if they continued to fight.
Both sides were evenly matched, and the Divine Envoy's strength was unfathomable. If they continued to fight, the Runo tribe would really face the risk of being exterminated.
As for Chu Xiu, there was nothing he could do for the time being.
Chu Xiu wasn't good at breaking arrays, and the level of this array formation wasn't low. If Chu Xiu directly used his strength to break the array formation, he would end up in a very sorry state.
There were array masters in Cangwu County, but Chu Xiu didn't want them to know about this for the time being. Hence, he gave up on the idea of finding people from Cangwu County.
When Hei Jie saw this scene, he couldn't help but ask, "Lord Divine Envoy, now that the Runo tribe has surrounded themselves in this array formation, what should we do?"
Chu Xiu said calmly, "There's no rush. We can attack them by force, but it will cause the Black Net Tribe to suffer heavy losses. We can just surround them here. Keeping the array formation activated will consume a lot of energy. The Runo tribe won't be able to hold on for long. "
Hei Jie was extremely touched when he saw that Chu Xiu was actually thinking about the Black Net Tribe's warriors.
Chu Xiu didn't care about this. He suddenly asked, "Do you know what happened during the previous barbarian uprising?"
Ever since he became the Prefectural Governor, everything Chu Xiu had done was for his own benefit. What did the previous Prefectural Governor's death have to do with him? He had no obligation to avenge his predecessor.
However, he remembered that Lu Sanjin had mentioned that Cold River City had participated in the previous barbarian uprising.
Chu Xiu couldn't help but suspect that the Runo tribe had a lot of equipment and arrays.
Hei Jie knew of Chu Xiu's identity and thought that he was going to reprimand them. Therefore, he quickly said, "Lord Divine Envoy, the Black Net Tribe didn't participate in the previous uprising."
Chu Xiu said, "I know that you didn't participate. I'm just asking about the situation."
When he heard Chu Xiu's words, Hei Jie heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Actually, the previous Prefectural Governor wasn't a bad person. When he was around, he didn't really invade the Diluo Mountain Range. Instead, he traded many things with us at a fair price.
However, I don't know what happened that time, but many tribes were provoked. Moreover, each tribe had a different reason. Everyone gathered together, and it was a mess. I don't know why they started fighting.
The people from the Imperial Sky Pavilion seemed to have killed the people from the other tribes first. After that, a chaotic battle ensued. A few tribes attacked at the same time. In the chaos, no one knows who killed the previous Prefectural Governor. "
When he heard Hei Jie's words, Chu Xiu was almost certain that even if Cold River City was not involved in the previous barbarian uprising, there were still other forces involved.
With the brains of these barbarians, they wouldn't be able to come up with such tactics.
"You stay here and guard. There's no need to fight the Runo tribe head-on. You just need to keep them here. I'll return to the Nan 'an Prefecture first."
If Cold River City was truly behind all of this and Chu Xiu was about to destroy the Runuo Tribe, it was hard to guarantee that no one would step forward to stop him. He had to stop those people in time.
He had to destroy the Runo tribe. If the passageway to the Lower Bound was here, then Chu Xiu had to firmly occupy this place.
At this moment, in the Runo tribe, the Runo tribe's High Priest asked, "Chief, why aren't you continuing to attack? Is that God's Envoy from the Black Luo Tribe really so powerful that even you can't defeat him? "
In other tribes, the High Priest's status was usually higher than the Chief. However, in the Runo tribe, the Chief of the Runo tribe was wise and decisive. Therefore, his prestige was even higher than the High Priest's.
The Chief of the Runo tribe said with a dark expression, "I can't see through that guy's strength. Although we didn't really fight, my instincts tell me that he's very dangerous. He's just like those venomous wolves in the forest that don't look big but can tear tigers and leopards apart.
Moreover, even if I can defeat him, the people from the Black Luo Tribe are attacking like madmen. I don't want the entire Runo tribe to die.
"Those cunning outsiders from Cold River City have obtained enough from my Runo tribe. It's time for them to do something.
"Use the formation they left behind to request for reinforcements. Ask them to come and help me.
If they don't come, I'll spread the news of them plotting to kill the previous Prefectural Governor of the Imperial Sky Pavilion. I'll make sure that Cold River City and the Imperial Sky Pavilion fight to the death! "
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the Chief of the Runo tribe.
He didn't act like a barbarian. Instead, he acted more like a human. He didn't place as much importance on things like trust and honor as the other barbarians.
At this moment, in Lingluo County, which was close to Cangwu County, in a tall tower that belonged to Cold River City, a Cold River City Deacon was reading the news from the Runo tribe. He immediately shouted furiously, "Those damned barbarians! What do they take our Cold River City for? Their hired thugs? To think that they want our Cold River City to participate in the internal strife of the barbarians. This is preposterous! "
There were quite a number of Cold River City's upper echelons in the tall tower. When they saw the news, their expressions turned ugly.
