Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh —
At this moment, a gust of wind blew outside the hall, and the hall fell silent for a moment.
A moment later.
Youxiong Jin's current priest, Youxiong Jin, trembled in anger. He pointed at Lu Qingshan and shouted, "Rebel, rebel, how dare you talk to me like that …"
"Priest, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by your tribesmen?" Youxiong Jin interrupted Youxiong Jin's scolding of Lu Qingshan. He looked at the peace-seeking priest and asked word by word.
"Priest, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by your tribesmen?" Another person spoke up. He was on Youxiong Jin's side, the pro-war faction.
"Priest, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by your tribesmen?"
“.....”
Soon, the questioning of the priest rose and fell, echoing in the hall.
The gust of wind outside the hall suddenly disappeared, but the gust of wind in the hall suddenly returned.
Youxiong Jin was also stunned, and took three steps back.
The Youxiong cultivators on the priest's side looked at each other, and saw the difficult look in each other's eyes.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you in the tribe before?" At this moment, a cultivator on the peace-seeking side suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and looked at Lu Qingshan suspiciously.
This audacious man who had asked the question was thin and didn't seem to fit in with the Barbarian Tribe. However, his facial features were very unique to the Barbarian Tribe. His skin was bronze-colored, his black hair hung loosely over his shoulders, and there was a cold look in his eyes.
After a few more glances, he found that this person looked more and more like the tribe leader.
"He's my brother, Youxiong Hao." Youxiong Jin stood up at this moment, and explained to everyone, "At this moment of life and death for the tribe, Youxiong Hao quickly returned and swore to live and die with the tribe."
Hearing Patriarch Youxiong's words, everyone quickly remembered.
Youxiong Jin did have a brother, but he later left the tribe and went deep into the wilderness, saying that he was going to pursue the martial path. After that, he did not return to the tribe for a hundred years, and there was no news of him.
Who would have thought that he would return at this juncture?
Was it really such a coincidence?
The suspicious Zhu Ji Youxiong Jin was the first to have doubts.
However, Lu Qingshan did not give Youxiong Jin too much of a chance to be suspicious. He strode forward and walked to the center of the hall.
"There's no need to mention the matter of peace. I, a man of the Bear Family, didn't even submit to the Da Xia Kingdom back then. My bones didn't even soften. Now, I have to kneel in front of a mere deer? You still want to kill your own Guardian Spirit? "
Lu Qingshan cast a ruthless gaze at You Xiong Jin, "Zhu Ji, our clan's Guardian Spirit has been raised by you for hundreds of years, yet you don't have any feelings for it? Were they prepared to use their own race's Guardian Spirit's life to please another race?
You can even abandon the feelings of hundreds of years. Are you going to kill your own You Xiong Clan people one day to please the other clans? "
Youxiong Jin's face was livid as he said angrily, "Youxiong Hao, you've contradicted me time and time again. Do you really think that I won't dare to do anything to you just because you're the elder brother?
You have to know that even the patriarch doesn't dare to speak to me like this! "
He had already made up his mind to ask for peace with the deer. Now that the situation was unclear, it seemed like he had to kill someone to establish his might. Only then would he be able to control the situation.
As for who to kill, it was naturally this reckless person in front of him!
"Zhu Ji, you're quite awe-inspiring. Could it be that you're selling your clan for glory, yet you're still so brazen?" Lu Qingshan was not afraid at all.
"Slandering me like this, you deserve to die! You deserve to die! " Having his thoughts exposed by Lu Qingshan, You Xiong Jin was half angry and half was taking advantage of the situation. His eyes flashed with an ominous glint. Before anyone could react, he let out a low shout and attacked Lu Qingshan.
With a wave of his hand, seven specks of light shot out from his sleeves. They were the seven mansions of Kui, Lou, Wei, Liu, Bi, Bi, Shen, and Shen. They held the concept of the Western White Tiger Constellation and turned into a white tiger that roared out.
The white tiger came out of its cage, displaying its ferocious might. It was as if this place had become a tiger's den. Many cultivators were immediately filled with the might of the tiger.
Lu Qingshan looked up slightly.
The concept of the White Tiger Constellation was a branch of the Origin Star True Meaning. It belonged to the Four Quadrants and had also reached the upper level. With the support of the Dao Seed, he could attack freely and with great power.
Unexpectedly, the Zhu Ji of a small Barbarian Clan was someone who had condensed the Dao Seed with the upper level concept.
But …
'I can even kill a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator. What's an early-stage Void Refinement cultivator to me?'
A beam of red light suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes.
Under the witness of the You Xiong Clan cultivators, the white tiger fell and the stars dimmed.
There was only a cold sword light between heaven and earth.
In the blink of an eye, when the sword light faded, the Zhu Ji was already dead on the ground.
"Ah?! The Zhu Ji was killed? " The dozens of You Xiong cultivators in the hall were dumbfounded. Even the You Xiong Clan Leader, who knew Lu Qingshan well, had his face twitching slightly.
'Don't they say that human cultivators like to pretend to be obedient and pretentious?
Why is this man even more Barbarian than us Barbarians? '
He and the Zhu Ji had argued for a long time on the topic of war and peace, but he had never thought of killing the Zhu Ji.
'This man, on the other hand, only said three sentences in total. In the meeting hall of the You Xiong Clan's core area, he killed the Zhu Ji so openly without any scruples?'
'What a ferocious human cultivator …'
'As expected, those rumors about human cultivators can't be trusted. They're all rumors!'
The You Xiong Clan Leader was in a daze.
"How can you kill the Zhu Ji?! Audacious, audacious! " Finally, someone reacted. He pointed at Lu Qingshan's nose and cursed, "The Zhu Ji has worked for the You Xiong Clan for hundreds of years. You …"
The cursing stopped abruptly because he noticed that "You Xiong Hao's" hand moved slightly as if he was about to raise his sword.
'He's not going to kill me, is he?
'When did this Barbarian learn the sword? 'Don't we Barbarians use our fists? Why do you use a sword?
You don't fit in! '
Lu Qingshan sneered. He played with You Xiong Jin's storage ring in his hand. "Worked for hundreds of years? Then take a good look at how your respected Zhu Ji has worked for the You Xiong Clan! "
Thump, thump, thump.
The You Xiong cultivators' hearts trembled violently.
A gray light flashed.
Lu Qingshan took out a roll of animal skin from You Xiong Jin's storage ring. It floated before the cultivators.
Hesitation appeared on the faces of the cultivators who were still reprimanding Lu Qingshan. They had a bad feeling about this.
They hurriedly received the animal skin scroll, and after carefully reading the information on it, their expressions changed.
This was because the roll of animal skin was a secret letter between the Zhu Ji and You Xiong Jin. The content of the letter was simple. It was an agreement.
An equivalent exchange. You Xiong Jin convinced the You Xiong Clan to agree to the terms proposed by the Great Deer. In return, the Zhu Ji would give You Xiong Jin a 3,000-year-old ginseng that could extend his life by 100 years. He would also promise to support You Xiong Jin's only son to become the next Zhu Ji of the You Xiong Clan.
— -You Xiong Jin had a son in his old age. He doted on him a lot.
However, his son had just started cultivating and he was nearing the end of his life. He could not protect his son.
No wonder the Zhu Ji would use this as a condition to negotiate with You Xiong Jin.
He had grasped You Xiong Jin's lifeline.
He was selling his clan for glory!
"You Xiong Hao, you already knew that the Zhu Ji and the Great Deer were having an affair?" Someone asked with an ugly expression.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
Of course, he was just blindly nodding.
He had only been in the You Xiong Clan for a day. How did he know about the little secrets between You Xiong Jin and the Zhu Ji?
This was only his speculation.
You Xiong Jin was old and nearing the end of his life. If the Great Deer did not give You Xiong Jin some benefits that he could not refuse, would You Xiong Jin be so determined to seek peace?
His speculation was simple, but it was not groundless.
What if his speculation was wrong?
If he killed the Zhu Ji without a proper reason, he would definitely incur the wrath of the You Xiong Clan.
If he was wrong, then he was wrong!
You Xiong Zhu Ji was only a matter of one sword strike, and Lu Qingshan did not care about the other weaklings.
The peace faction could be forced into submission by the Great Deer Clan. Naturally, he could convince them with "reason".
The war faction was led by the You Xiong Clan Leader. He was invited by the You Xiong Clan Leader, so he was even more fearless.
… …
After all this, You Xiong Jin's corpse had not even turned cold, but the majority of people who wanted peace had already lost their momentum.
"Then what should we do?"
Someone asked weakly.
"Let's fight. What does the You Xiong Clan have to fear?" Lu Qingshan said righteously.
The You Xiong Clan Leader could not help but look sideways.
'Sir, how can you say it so smoothly? First you say' You Xiong Clan ', then you say' You Xiong Clan '.
If it weren't for the fact that I invited you, I would have thought that you were my biological brother!
"Lord Guardian Spirit is heavily injured, and the Zhu Ji …" The person who spoke timidly glanced at the sword-wielding You Xiong Hao, and tactfully skipped the sentence. After all, everyone understood. "The Great Deer Clan's overall strength is stronger than our You Xiong Clan. When we were at our peak, we were not their match. Now that our strength is greatly reduced, how can we fight? How can we fight? "
"Is the Great Deer Clan willing to sacrifice more than 50% of their experts?" Lu Qingshan sneered, and turned around to ask, "As long as we are not afraid of death, and let them see our determination to resist, the Great Deer Clan will naturally be afraid.
If they are not afraid of losses, they can just attack us directly. Why do they have to feign civility and even secretly collude with the Zhu Ji?
You all have been comfortable in the clan for too long, and have lost all your courage and courage. That's why you are so easily manipulated! "
Lu Qingshan's gaze swept across everyone's faces.
Those who were swept by his gaze did not dare to look at him for too long. They quickly looked away and lowered their heads.
"It's not that we don't have courage, it's just that the difference in strength is too great.
The Great Deer Clan's Guardian Spirit is a peak Grade Five Divine Deer, while our clan's Guardian Spirit does not have long to live. Furthermore, the Great Deer Clan's leader and the Zhu Ji are both Void Refinement cultivators. Our clan's leader is alone, it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. "Someone retorted softly.
This was the truth. With the Great Deer Clan's peak Grade Five Divine Deer Clan's leader, how could they count on him?
Lu Qingshan's expression was calm. "This is easy. The Great Deer Clan's Guardian Spirit and the Zhu Ji will be under my control. The rest will be yours. Do you have any objections?"
"The Guardian Spirit and the Zhu Ji will be under your control?" The You Xiong Cultivator suspected that he had heard wrongly and repeated himself. Seeing that his clansmen had the same expression of disbelief as him, he knew that Lu Qingshan had indeed said that.
"Could it be that you, You Xiong Hao …"
You Xiong Hao naturally would not bring his clansmen along for nothing. However, he was still so arrogant. Unless … Unless You Xiong Hao left the clan for a hundred years and had a fortuitous encounter that resulted in his cultivation base reaching phenomenal success!
Thinking of this, everyone hurriedly sized up You Xiong Hao. However, they discovered that his aura was very obscure and they could not detect his exact cultivation base.
Lu Qingshan did not admit nor deny. "If no one has any objections, then please leave. Be prepared to fight to the death with the Great Deer Clan. If anyone has any objections …"
As he spoke, Lu Qingshan's wrist moved slightly and the Dragon Sparrow Sword in his hand shone with a cold light. "Then bring it up on the spot and we'll discuss it again."
"We … have no objections." Seeing that Lu Qingshan was convincing them with reason, the cultivators could only mumble.
Of course, the most important thing was that Lu Qingshan's display of strength had convinced them.
In that situation, in their eyes, Lu Qingshan's lack of denial meant that he admitted to it.
Combined with his astonishing display of slaying Zhu Ji with a single sword strike, the You Xiong cultivators were already convinced that this You Xiong Hao must have had a fortuitous encounter that resulted in a massive increase in his strength.
"I told you to bring it up if you had any objections, and you all said that you had no objections.
Since none of you have any objections, don't blame me for ignoring you if you continue to disobey me. "Lu Qingshan nodded with satisfaction and made the final decision.
"You're the only one saying all the good and bad things," the You Xiong cultivators grumbled in their hearts. "If you really wanted us to bring up objections, then why did you use your sword?"
"Understood!" the You Xiong cultivators replied loudly.
"You all can go back first. I'll discuss the details with my brother alone." The You Xiong Tribe leader's eyebrows twitched when he saw that the outcome had been decided in just a few words. He could only pinch his nose and accept his fate.
After the You Xiong cultivators had all left, the You Xiong Tribe leader looked at the corpse of Zhu Ji who was lying on the ground like a pile of mud. He said faintly, "This is our tribe's Zhu Ji …"
Lu Qingshan turned a deaf ear to him. "It's so easy to control the situation. Why are you so conflicted, Tribe Leader? Why are you arguing with this Zhu Ji and even asking me to help you?"
'There's no need to be so immersed in the act …'
The You Xiong Tribe leader wanted to retort, but after a pause, he cupped his hands and said helplessly, "You're right, brother."
"How many days did Julu give us?"
"Ten days." The You Xiong Tribe leader sighed and said, "I was still wondering why they gave us so much time to discuss.
Now that I think about it, it's to make us lose our courage in the long argument … "
The hot-headed words were not false.
Many brave deeds in history that did not fear death happened in hot-headed situations. If they were given enough time to consider the pros and cons, perhaps many people would lose their courage.
"The second reason is to give Zhu Ji some time to work."
Lu Qingshan agreed with the You Xiong Tribe leader's judgment. He glanced at the You Xiong Tribe leader's strong chest muscles and nodded.
'He's not a big-breasted brainless person.'
"Next, do as I say …" Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment, and slowly told him his idea.
As Lu Qingshan spoke of his plan, the You Xiong Tribe leader's face turned green and white, and kept changing.
.....
It was early in the morning, and the morning sun shone brightly.
The You Xiong Tribe sat in a basin, surrounded by tall mountains and ravines.
The basin was neither big nor small, and was barely big enough for the few thousand tribesmen of the You Xiong Tribe to live in. Every household in the tribe was made of stone.
From this, one could see that the barbarians' bloodline was indeed extraordinary. A tribe of several thousand people could produce two Void Refinement cultivators, Zhu Ji and the tribe leader.
At a glance, many children of the You Xiong Tribe were playing in the open space.
Usually, there would be cultivators of the tribe bringing these children to refine their Qi and blood.
However, the tribe was in a life and death situation recently, so the cultivators did not have such thoughts for now.
The You Xiong Tribe leader was bringing Lu Qingshan to the back of the mountain.
That was the habitat of the You Xiong Tribe's Guardian Spirit.
This was Lu Qingshan's request. He was to bring him to see the severely injured You Xiong Tribe's Guardian Spirit.
In the Wildlands, the strength of a tribe depended on three things.
The first was the cultivation base of the tribe's Zhu Ji and the tribe leader.
The second was the population of the tribe. The more people there were, the more cultivators there would be.
The third was the Guardian Spirit's grade.
Demon beasts had strong bodies, and their lifespans far surpassed humans of the same rank. They could protect a tribe for thousands of years. If they could give birth to children, they could even take over the duties of the Guardian Spirit when they grew up. It was no wonder that the Guardian Spirit was the most important foundation of the barbarians.
"Usually, it's the Zhu Ji who communicates with the Guardian Spirit. I don't have much contact with the Guardian Spirit," the You Xiong Tribe leader said as he led the way.
The tribe leader and the Zhu Ji had clear responsibilities.
The tribe leader was a Body Cultivator with unparalleled combat strength. He was responsible for leading the tribe and doing the dirty work.
The Zhu Ji was a Beast Cultivator. He was responsible for raising and nurturing the Guardian Spirit, and even choosing the Guardian Spirit.
The Guardian Spirit of the You Xiong Tribe was personally signed by the Zhu Ji back then.
Lu Qingshan had just stepped into the back of the mountain when he smelled a strange smell.
It was an unpleasant smell mixed with feces and blood.
Painful roars could be heard from time to time.
"The Guardian Spirit's injuries are very serious." The You Xiong Tribe leader lowered his voice and said to Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan nodded to show that he understood.
The two walked to the deepest part of the mountain.
A huge body came into view.
It was a terrifying Bear Demon that was ten feet tall. Its ferocious aura filled the sky, making people tremble in fear.
However, the Bear Demon's expression was filled with pain.
Lu Qingshan's pupils shrank. He saw that there was an extremely large bloody hole in the Bear Demon's abdomen. Blood was flowing out from it.
The amount of blood was so large that it even caused a pool of blood to appear on the ground below it.
