When Ma Yingjie woke up from his slumber and finally opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Fei Cai's ecstatic smiling face.
Fei Cai shouted: "Young tribe leader, you are finally awake!"
The honest voice warmed Ma Yingjie's heart. The latter struggled to sit up, the intense pain made him open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, asking with difficulty: "Where is this?"
Fei Cai scratched his head and said in shame: "I also do not know where this is, but we should have escaped from the battlefield."
"Battlefield?" Ma Yingjie was shocked and immediately asked: "How is the battlefield?"
"We failed, lord young tribe leader. Many people are escaping, and even more have surrendered. "Fei Cai answered.
Ma Yingjie's face turned extremely pale, his body shook and he almost fainted again. Thankfully, Fei Cai supported his back from behind.
Zhao Lianyun stood at the side, looking at the once glorious Ma tribe young tribe leader now in such a pathetic state, he did not feel good.
"Sigh, this Ma Yingjie is actually young and promising, but unfortunately he encountered Wolf King Chang Shan Yin. It is not that you did not work hard, but the opponent is too abnormal … "
Ma Yingjie closed his eyes, two streams of tears flowed down silently.
After a long time, he opened his red eyes and turned to look at Fei Cai and Zhao Lianyun, asking with a hoarse voice: "You two saved me?"
Fei Cai and Zhao Lianyun nodded at the same time.
"Young tribe leader, what should we do now?" Fei Cai asked.
Ma Yingjie's expression was gloomy as he said: "We return! Ma tribe lost this round, but we still have a portion of tribesmen in warm pond valley. "
Back then, before the heroes assembly, Ma tribe schemed to cause internal strife in Fei tribe, annexing them and occupying warm pond valley.
Ma tribe's higher-ups, as a precaution, placed a portion of the old, weak, and sick in warm pond valley.
If the Ma family won, they would bring them over. If the Ma family failed, they would be the seeds to continue the tribe!
"Return to Warm Pond Valley? But we had no water or food. It's such a long journey … "Zhao Lianyun frowned.
"Heh, little girl, as long as I'm here, there will be enough food and water. You don't have to worry, "Ma Yingjie said.
The three of them traveled together. Along the way, they came across many Ma family members who had escaped, and they were all taken in by Ma Yingjie one by one.
"Young Clan Leader, I never thought that I, Ma Youliang, would be able to see you again!" Ma Youliang cried uncontrollably when he saw Ma Yingjie.
He was a rank three elder of Ma tribe, he was lying on a stretcher, missing an arm and his right calf was broken, his injuries were severe.
When Ma Yingjie saw him, tears of excitement welled up in his tiger-like eyes. "Elder Ma Youliang, it's great to see you!"
Although he had taken in many clansmen along the way, most of them were mortals. Ma Youliang might be heavily injured, but he was a Gu Master after all.
After this battle, Ma tribe suffered a huge loss.
Before the battle, they were a large scale tribe with deep foundations that could charge into a super tribe. But after the battle, Ma tribe had completely turned into a small scale tribe, their strength had fallen to the bottom and they were on the decline.
To the current Ma tribe, every Gu Master was the tribe's most precious strength and hope!
"Lord Young Clan Leader, old clan leader has already died in battle." Ma Youliang cried bitterly, bringing the grievous news to Ma Yingjie.
Ma Yingjie's body shook intensely. Although he was mentally prepared, his heart was still filled with endless grief and sorrow when he heard this news.
He gritted his teeth, his whole body seemed to have turned into an iron statue.
After a moment of silence, he forcefully wiped the tears in his eyes. "Then, from today onwards, I am Ma tribe's leader! Elder Ma Youliang, you need to pull yourself together. Although our Ma tribe lost, we did not perish. Back then, Ancestor Giant Sun had set a rule that we cannot slaughter the Huang Jin tribe's bloodline. Ma tribe has already paid a disastrous price for the battle, now even Hei tribe cannot exterminate us. We will return to warm pond valley, we need to climb back up from our defeat. I believe Ma tribe's glory will not disappear because of this! "
Ma Youliang dazedly looked at the young clan leader in front of him, and in his blurry vision, he seemed to see Ma Shang Feng and Ma Zun's figures. He stopped sobbing, hope rising in his heart again.
The next moment, he used his deepest voice to reply: "Lord Clan Leader, I also believe you!"
Winner takes all.
While Ma Yingjie was fleeing miserably, in the countless tents of Hei tribe's alliance army, there was a celebratory banquet. There were cheering crowds, warm bonfires and rich delicacies.
"We won, we won!"
"Ma tribe's ambition was too great, they actually wanted to become a super tribe. It was this ambition that destroyed them. "
"Congratulations to Lord Hei Loulan for becoming the lord of the Imperial Court!"
"Honorable Wolf Wang Da, please allow this lowly one to toast you a cup of wine."
In the main tent, there was also a lively atmosphere. Other than wine and delicacies, there were also beautiful and passionate Northern Plains women dancing to their heart's content.
Everyone present were the leaders of Hei tribe's alliance army, experts of all sizes. Their cultivation level was at least rank four, and they could be said to be the brightest talents of the current generation of Northern Plains.
Hei Loulan sat on the main seat, and on his left was Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan's seat had been pushed to the back due to the arrival of Tai Bai Yunsheng, as well as the other rank five clan leaders.
But after the third battle with Ma tribe, Fang Yuan revealed his rank five peak stage cultivation, and fought against three enslavement masters by himself, killing Cheng Long, Wu Ye and other experts.
One could say, Hei tribe's victory over Ma tribe was seventy percent due to Fang Yuan.
Hei tribe was shocked by Wolf King's terrifying battle strength, and on that night, they adjusted the ranking in the main tent.
No one objected to this.
Fang Yuan did not reject any of the experts who toasted him, but he only drank a small mouthful each time. This was not the demeanor of a forthright northern plains warrior, but at this moment, when placed on Fang Yuan, it displayed the arrogance and solitude of Wolf King.
In the main tent, there was a joyous atmosphere.
The Gu Master who toasted him was Sole Blade General Pan Ping. In the battle, he had used sole blade Gu and luckily obtained Ma tribe leader Ma Shang Feng's head. Thus, on the battle merit board, he was only inferior to Fang Yuan, ranked second.
Seeing Fang Yuan drink a mouthful of wine, Pan Ping retreated gratefully.
Northern plains people admired warriors, Fang Yuan's terrifying performance was rarely seen even in the previous Imperial Court contests.
Flying master and enslavement master, the halo of two masters shrouded his body. Such enslavement and strength dual cultivation would give any of his enemies a headache.
He watched as Pan Ping respectfully retreated with a satisfied and excited expression. The gazes that were directed at him were filled with respect, adoration, or fear. Fang Yuan put down his wine cup without batting an eyelid, sighing inwardly: "Unknowingly, I have already reached this step."
Relying on the Imperial Court contest, Fang Yuan's battle strength rose rapidly. At this point, he was already at the peak of the mortal realm.
To mortals, this was already the peak.
Any higher and it would be the immortal realm!
In the previous battle, he slaughtered famous experts, unstoppable and unstoppable. Such a performance was rarely seen even among rank five peak stage Gu Masters. Hei Loulan's elegance was completely taken away by Fang Yuan.
Enslavement and strength dual cultivation had a huge flaw. Four arm earth king killer move, even if it was hastily created and not perfect, was enough to be the foundation for Fang Yuan to stand proudly in the mortal realm.
On three kings mountain, Fang Yuan used the blessed land's power to kill rank four and rank five Gu Master experts.
But now, he used his own strength to do it. Even if it was Tie tribe's previous leader, Tie Mu Bai, Fang Yuan had the confidence to kill him.
In a short period of time, Fang Yuan's battle strength rose explosively. This huge achievement that others could not achieve in their lifetime was built on his five hundred years of experience, Hu Immortal blessed land and painstaking planning.
"But it is still not enough, far from enough! What is the peak of the mortal realm? If I am not a Gu Immortal, I will always be a chess piece. Not mentioning the goal of eternal life, I have not even saved Dang Hun mountain. "
Fang Yuan's gaze was solemn, his heart surging with the raging fire of ambition and lofty aspirations.
He glanced at Tai Bai Yunsheng beside him.
To save Dang Hun mountain, he needed Tai Bai Yunsheng's Immortal Gu — Landscape as Before.
This was his main goal in this trip to northern plains. In fact, 88 Point Zhenyang Tower was secondary.
In his plan: If Dang Hun mountain could not be saved, then the inheritance in 88 Point Zhenyang Tower would make up for his losses.
But to take away other people's Gu worms was a troublesome matter.
The life or death of a Gu worm depended on the owner's thoughts.
For example, Fang Yuan only needed one thought and even the Immortal Gu Spring Autumn Cicada would easily self-detonate.
Precisely because of this, when Gu Masters died in battle, the Gu worms obtained from their corpses were negligible.
As for Tai Bai Yunsheng's situation, it was even more troublesome!
Landscape as Before, this Immortal Gu had yet to appear. It was an Immortal Gu created by Tai Bai Yunsheng after he became a Gu Immortal, using river as before and mountain as before Gu as the main materials.
Thus, there were two plans in front of Fang Yuan.
The first was to capture Tai Bai Yunsheng alive and use soul path Gu worms to search his soul, searching his mind for the Gu recipe of Landscape as Before. Then, he would refine it himself.
This plan was too risky.
Firstly, Fang Yuan might not be able to capture Tai Bai Yunsheng alive. Capturing and killing were two completely different concepts. Especially when Tai Bai Yunsheng had high prestige and was also a time path Gu Master, if he failed, the impact would be huge.
Secondly, even if he was captured alive, would he be able to obtain river as before and mountain as before Gu? If Tai Bai Yunsheng had a thought and made these two Gu self-detonate, Fang Yuan's efforts would be in vain.
Finally, it was unknown whether Tai Bai Yunsheng had the Gu recipe of Landscape as Before in his mind.
The possibility of a mortal coming up with an original Immortal Gu recipe was too small. Especially when Tai Bai Yunsheng was not a refinement path master.
According to the vague rumors in his previous life, Landscape as Before was created when Tai Bai Yunsheng became a Gu Immortal, heaven and earth resonated, Dao marks attracted each other and his inspiration burst forth, causing the two Gu to fuse and refine into a rank six Immortal Gu.
If that was the case, then the Gu recipe of Landscape as Before simply did not exist. The process of refining Landscape as Before could not be replicated.
The first plan was not feasible. Then, what about the second plan?
It was not much better than the first plan!
Tai Bai Yunsheng became a Gu Immortal after entering Imperial Court blessed land. The second plan was to deal with him after he became a Gu Immortal and obtained an Immortal Gu!
This meant that Fang Yuan wanted to use the identity of a mortal to harm a Gu Immortal!
