In the barbarian tribe, Chu Xiu was facing a barbarian who was no different from a Daluotian martial artist. This made Chu Xiu feel very awkward. He did not know what to say to the words he had prepared before coming here.
At this time, the old barbarian king smiled and said, "Little friend, you are very surprised, right? This is normal. Anyone who sees a Daluotian martial artist will be surprised.
It has been ten thousand years. Although many people in my tribe only grow muscles and not brains, there are still a few who are enlightened, right? Coincidentally, I was the one who was enlightened.
When I was young, I was actually very thin and weak in the tribe. Of course, this is compared to my tribe.
So, when I wanted to become a high priest, I only liked to study those messy secret techniques.
But later on, the tribe caught a martial artist. I was very interested in him, and I was even more interested in the outside world.
Ordinary people can't learn Central Plains Chinese, but I learned it in a year.
Because I was not a barbarian warrior, I did not have that many totems on my body. Moreover, my figure was very similar to that of a human. So, I had the idea of going to the outside world to take a look.
I was a very bold person. I thought so, and so I did.
The outside world is very big and exciting. I have to admit that the martial arts, formation, alchemy, and other things that you humans have developed are all grand and broad, and they constantly attract me.
Over the years, I have joined many sects.
I heard that you are the prefectural governor of the Imperial Sky Pavilion? Then you should call me senior. When I was traveling in the Eastern Region, I joined the Imperial Sky Pavilion and was in charge of guarding the Primitive Emperor Realm.
In the Southern Region, I joined the world's sword sect to learn swordsmanship, and I also joined the Bliss Demon Palace to learn demonic secret techniques.
You don't have to be nervous. I know you destroyed the Bliss Demon Palace, but it doesn't matter because I don't like the Bliss Demon Palace. Their martial arts are too extreme.
I have traveled in the Western Region, but I didn't join any temple because I cultivated demonic techniques. The martial arts of the Buddhist sects are too extreme, and they can't tolerate any kind of power.
In the end, I went to the Northern Region, joined the Lingbao Temple, and cultivated the Lingbao Glow.
The time I spent in the Spirit Treasure Temple was the most precious and unforgettable.
In the past, I always thought that you humans were the cruelest creatures. You fought and schemed against each other within your sects. In a situation where there was no conflict of interest, you would develop malice and harm each other.
But in the Lingbao Temple, I learned what it meant to be a master, and what it meant to be a … family.
But in the end, I still left because my family was in the dense forest of the Grand Myriad Mountains.
Alright, little friend, now that you know about I's experience, it's time for you to talk about yours, right?
You and I are the same kind of people. If you continue to use your identity as a Divine Messenger to fool me, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out of Luo Shan Tribe today. "
Old Barbarian King had a faint smile on his face. He wasn't as honest as an ordinary barbarian. Instead, he seemed like an experienced and astute leader of a big sect.
Chu Xiu heaved a long sigh, cupped his hands and said, "Chu Xiu of the Eastern Domain greets Senior.
The reason why I'm here is very simple. I've joined hands with the Heavenly Luo Treasure Temple to launch a surprise attack on the Sanskrit Sect. So, I've chosen to take a detour through the Grand Myriad Mountains in order not to be noticed by the Sanskrit Sect.
I've come to Luo Shan Tribe this time to borrow the road. "
If the old Barbarian King had acted like a standard barbarian, then Chu Xiu would've had countless ways to fool him.
But, the man before him had mingled with the Daluotian people for countless years. He had traveled to four regions and stayed in the Imperial Sky Pavilion, the World's Sword Sect, the Blissful Devil Palace, and the Spirit Treasure Temple for such a long time.
Moreover, the strength of the other party was certainly extremely terrifying.
Chu Xiu couldn't see through the realm of the other party. So, he was at least at the Seventh Heaven Layer. Moreover, the other party had a strong barbarian body. So, his fighting strength was comparable to an Eighth Heaven Layer Martial Immortal at the very least.
He would be courting death if he tried to play some petty tricks in front of such overwhelming strength. So, he might as well reveal everything.
Old Barbarian King was also startled after he heard Chu Xiu's words.
Of course, he knew what the Sanskrit Sect and the Heavenly Luo Treasure Temple represented.
The young man before him dared to intervene in the battle between the Heavenly Luo Treasure Temple and the Sanskrit Sect. Moreover, he even wanted to take action himself. Such a bold action was beyond the old Barbarian King's imagination.
After pondering for a moment, the old Barbarian King knocked on the dragon bone chair he was sitting on and said in a deep voice, "It's just borrowing the road. It's not a big deal for I. But, it's very important for you.
According to the rules of the human race, you have to pay as much as you gain.
I can agree to let you borrow the road. But, what can you pay? "
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "What does senior want? As long as it's within my power, I won't refuse. "
The old Barbarian King stretched out two fingers and said in a deep voice, "These two things are very simple.
I can't make the decision in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. You have too many subordinates. If you want to go to the Western Region through the Hundred Thousand Mountains, you'll have to detour around several tribes. Even if I give the order, you'll have to show your strength to the chiefs of the other tribes.
You know the rules of my race. The one with the biggest fist has the loudest voice. You have to fight with the warriors of my race in public. And, you can proceed to the next step if you win.
As for the second thing, I want a lot of things. Weapons, armors, array materials, and healing medicines. I want all the resources that a warrior needs!
Of course, I don't want them for free. I can take out the specialties of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and trade them with you at the normal price. "
Chu Xiu gawked for a moment as he heard this. Then, he immediately nodded and said, "No problem."
The old Barbarian King was also dumbfounded when he heard Chu Xiu's quick reply. That was because Chu Xiu's reply was too simple.
The big sects of the outside world had also traded with the barbarian race for many years. However, they were afraid of the rise of the barbarian race. Therefore, they had always controlled the number of barbarians. In fact, they had even bullied the barbarians for being simple-minded.
After all, both sides belonged to different camps. The old Barbarian King had thought that Chu Xiu would limit the number of barbarians. He hadn't expected that Chu Xiu would agree so quickly. In fact, he himself couldn't believe it.
"Little friend, are you trying to deceive me? Are you planning to renege on your debt after I'm done? "The old Barbarian King looked at Chu Xiu with an unkind expression on his face.
Chu Xiu forced a smile and said, "I, Chu Xiu, don't have a very good reputation in the Daluotian Kingdom. But, I'm also famous for keeping my word. So, how can I do such a thing? Moreover, this isn't a big deal. All of the weapons and armors of the Black Sieve Tribe have been distributed by me. Even the materials of the armors used by the tribes around the Black Sieve Tribe have been distributed by me. Now that I've gained another trading partner, why would I go back on my word? "
The old Barbarian King asked in reply, "Aren't you afraid that my tribe will become a threat to your Sects after it grows stronger?"
Chu Xiu finally understood the mentality of the opposite party after he heard the question of the old Barbarian King.
He wasn't a Daluotian. And, he wasn't the one who had massacred the Barbarian Race. So, he obviously didn't care about that.
Of course, Chu Xiu wouldn't say that. He only said in a deep voice, "The Barbarian Race and the Human Race … in my opinion, we are one family. So, what's the threat?
Senior, you are a Barbarian. But, what's the difference between you and the Martial Immortal experts of my Human Race?
Although you and I are from two different worlds, we share the same origin. There are countless fights and killings between the Sects. So, why would I care about the fights and killings between the two races?
I don't know about other people. But, I — Chu Xiu — only have two kinds of people in my eyes — friends and enemies.
The Sanskrit Sect has tried to kill me time and time again. So, they are my enemies.
The Black Luo Tribe works for me. Senior, your Luo Shan Tribe has lent me a path. So, they are my friends.
And, since we are friends, why would I worry about being threatened? "
The Old Barbarian King had always been calm and collected when he heard Chu Xiu's words. But, he felt a bit excited in his heart.
He was a member of the Barbarian Race. He had joined the Human Race's Sects in the beginning. But, he hadn't harbored any good intentions. He had joined the Human Race as a spy. He had wanted to learn the cultivation techniques of the Human Race, as well as how to refine weapons and concoct pills. Then, he would launch a counterattack against the Human Race.
However, during his time in the Spirit Treasure Temple, he had been influenced by his master, senior brothers, and junior brothers in the Spirit Treasure Temple. Those fellow disciples, who seemed unruly but were closer to him than family, had completely dissolved the hatred and prejudice between the two clans in his heart.
However, he had come to know that he was the only person who didn't have any prejudices against the Human Race after he had returned to the Luo Shan Tribe.
The Barbarian Race was still hostile to the Human Race. They wanted to recapture their land and homeland. However, the Human Race regarded the Barbarian Race as wild beasts. So, they were always on guard against the rise of the Barbarian Race.
Chu Xiu was the first person he had ever met who didn't have any prejudices against the Barbarian Race.
The Old Barbarian King didn't know the true meaning of Chu Xiu's words. However, he could feel that Chu Xiu didn't have any enmity or vigilance against the Barbarian Race.
The Old Barbarian King sighed and said, "It's very rare to find a person like you among the Daluotian Tribes."
Chu Xiu didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that the Old Barbarian King's attitude towards him seemed to have become a lot friendlier.
Chu Xiu replied in a sinking voice, "No one's thoughts are exactly the same. In fact, I'm also very puzzled. Senior doesn't have much enmity against the Human Race."
The Old Barbarian King gently shook his head and said, "My race has failed to live up to expectations. So, it's useless to have enmity against the Human Race.
My race has always resented the Human Race for snatching our land and slaughtering our people.
However, I also figured it out during my time in the Spiritual Treasure Temple. The emergence of the Human Race has actually made our race take a step forward.
Perhaps you can't imagine what our race was like ten thousand years ago.
Our race was ignorant at that time. We had to fight against the ferocious beasts of the world. There were only two things in our life — reproduction and slaughter.
We killed the ferocious beasts, and the tribes killed each other. We even killed for fun to select the strongest.
We even sacrificed living people during the Day of Sacrifice. It was bloody and cruel. It's no wonder that the Human Race regarded us as wild beasts at that time.
Now, ten thousand years have passed. Our race has actually made a lot of progress. At least, we don't casually kill for fun. What we pursue is power, not bloody slaughter.
Similarly, we also know that the tribes belong to the same clan and should help each other.
Therefore, the emergence of the Human Race seems to me like the cycle of the heavens. It's a calamity. It's the punishment of our ignorance. "
