Chapter 1250: Chapter 1217: Arranging the Territory, Disciples Take Charge!

It’s often said that one needs to stand high to grasp the grandeur of the world. Xiao Chen suppressed the shock in his heart, aware that the grandeur of the Imperial Blood Noble Family was not something he was currently equipped to deal with, for a sovereign’s authority cannot be defied.

Moreover, the influence of a living sovereign powerful figure was beyond anyone’s imagination. As long as he lived, he would command the submission of all, representing an unstoppable momentum, a force that could not be resisted, which explained why the entire Northern Territory of the Southern Domain was shrouded under the Zhu Rong Aristocratic Family!

"The Zhu Rong Aristocratic Family is rumored to have extremely noble bloodlines, and their familial inherited ’Xiantian Fire Method’ is said to come from spiritual beings. Hence, Xiao Clan Leader, when you compete for the royal throne in the future, you must be wary of the Holy Son of the Zhu Rong Family. It is rumored he can control the Dao of fire of heaven and earth, which is why people call the lineage of Zhu Rong, the ’Fire Deity.’"

Her beautiful eyes moving around, the Charming Queen’s seductive gaze once again landed on Xiao Chen, mingling with an inexplicable radiant glow. However, upon hearing these words, Mu Qing’s eyes showed a touch of concern.

In a flash, Xiao Chen steadied his agitated heart. Even born into an Imperial Blood Noble Family, backed by a sovereign, mastering the ’Xiantian Fire Method’, whether or not they would encounter each other in the future was uncertain. His current priority was to develop his own forces. Only then would he be qualified to compete for the position of Human Emperor.

"Are there any forces in the Southern Domain Eastern Region that we need to watch out for?" Soon, Xiao Chen’s voice rang out again.

"The Southern Domain is arduously hot, with poisonous insects and snakes everywhere. There are even many places permeated with miasma poisonous smoke, areas where even legendary strong ones find it hard to penetrate deeply. So, trading with the Southern Domain is not that easy."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. At this moment, he could only pray that the location of the Void Teleportation Array, Flame Ancient Domain, was in the Eastern Wasteland Southern Region. Even if the environment was unpredictable, at least he could control it.

"To tell you the truth, if the Gu Yuan Tribe wants to spread its influence towards the Southern Domain, it could subjugate a local tribe as a base. This would make things much more convenient."

The Celestial Seal King spoke up at this time.

"Wouldn’t this cause a backlash from the native powers of the Southern Domain?"

Xiao Chen wondered but quickly came to the realization. The native powers’ backlash depended on the Gu Yuan Tribe’s approach. With a combination of kindness and might, backed by strength and benefits, there was no need to fear that some tribes would stubbornly resist the Gu Yuan Tribe to the bitter end.

"Brother Xiao, it’s time for us to leave."

The three great kings were Xiao Chen’s old friends, providing him protection from when he was still growing up, with the Gu Yuan forging a King-level Tribe coming to congratulate.

"Now that the war in the Eastern Wasteland Southern Region has ended, even if there are foreign races violating our borders, there are but a few, hardly making any impact. Why don’t the three of you stay in the Gu Yuan Tribe for a few more days? Perhaps I, the younger generation, may have some matters to consult with you," Xiao Chen said quickly, trying to retain them.

"When has the land of the Human Realm ever been calm? You are responsible for guarding the land as a newly established King-level Tribe. Although we lack a powerful backing, as inspectors of the East Emperor Palace roaming the Human Realm, we must stand guard beyond the Eastern Wasteland. Coming to the Gu Yuan Tribe for two days is already a violation of the East Emperor Palace’s Imperial Command."

The Celestial Seal King waved his hand and spoke, but then paused, and his voice continued.

"As a parting piece of advice, do not underestimate those Hidden Families and Ancient Clans under your rule."

"Indeed, these Hidden Families have been quietly developing with inherent strength, and although they may lack the vigor due to their long lineage, their connections are something you need to handle cautiously," the War Barbarian King interjected.

"Thank you for the advice; Xiao Mou will take heed," Xiao Chen replied respectfully.

...

The three kings soon left the Gu Yuan Tribe, heading towards the Endless Starry Sky, leaving only Xiao Chen and Mu Qing in the pavilion.

"My husband."

Seeing that Xiao Chen, watching the Sky Vault where the three kings disappeared, remained silent for a long time, Mu Qing stepped forward, clasped his arm, and whispered.

Xiao Chen came to his senses and gently patted Mu Qing’s hand. Mu Qing leaned against him and said quietly, "My husband, recall that our Gu Yuan Tribe was once so weak and struggling. To all of us, the Supreme King Tribe was a luxurious dream, thinking that once we achieved it, we could truly be in control, no longer fearing anyone."

"Who would have thought there are always stronger people out there, and now that our Gu Yuan Tribe has forged a King-level Tribe, we are faced with even more complex situations than before. We have to confront not only the Hundred Clans of Heaven but also internal struggles among the Human Race."

"Regardless, haven’t we walked through it all step by step?" Xiao Chen said softly, holding his wife in his arms.

Yes, no matter how much bloody battle we’ve gone through, the Gu Yuan Tribe has made it through!

"My husband, how do you plan to deal with those Hidden Families, and with the various tribal territories under the Gu Yuan Tribe’s control? They are all now waiting for your judgment," Mu Qing asked.

"Let them wait!" Xiao Chen said coldly, and then continued speaking, "It’s good to let them stew for a bit. During this period, the entire tribe has been focused on forging a King-level Tribe, giving our people some time to relax. Next, we’ll need to look beyond the Southern Domain, even to the entire Eastern Wasteland!"

"These hidden families are not to be underestimated, after the banquet in the hall yesterday, a group of hidden families returned to their temporary residences in the tribe and gathered together, but with a king personally laying out a barrier, no one knows what they were discussing!"

"No matter what they are discussing, whoever stands in the way of the development of the Gu Yuan Tribe shall have only one fate: death!"

A murderous intent imbued Xiao Chen’s voice.

Soon, the murderous aura on Xiao Chen dissipated, and he turned his gentle gaze to Mu Qing, saying, "Leave the matters of the tribe to me. The children have also grown up, and they don’t need your concern anymore. Now it’s time for you to focus on advancing to kingship through seclusion."

Nestled in his embrace, Mu Qing gently nodded, smiling. Then suddenly, as if remembering something, she asked, "I remember you mentioned sending one of the two sisters, Yu Fei and Qing You, to the Central Plains Cultural Emperor’s Palace?"

"Indeed, now that our Gu Yuan Tribe has established a King-level Tribe, I believe Tiantai Xuan will soon return from the Central Plains Cultural Emperor’s Palace. When the time comes, we might as well send both sisters to the Emperor’s Palace."

"If my husband has decided, I think it would be good to send both girls to the Emperor’s Palace together, so they can look out for each other," Mu Qing said with a laugh, but then she asked again, "What about Sister Nianhua?"

"I have my considerations for that, and you’ll find out in due time."

Mu Qing’s figure soon vanished from within the pavilion, and Xiao Chen returned to his seat. After about a quarter of an hour, nine streaks of light rose from within the tribe and materialized almost instantaneously in front of Xiao Chen.

"Master."

Nine figures stood before Xiao Chen with utmost reverence. Xiao Chen’s gaze swept across them, and then he said softly, "Please, take a seat."

His nine disciples, in just over a hundred years, had all attained the Half-King Realm, even exceeding his expectations. After contemplating for a moment, Xiao Chen spoke again.

"Now all of you are in the Half-King Realm. To comprehend the Supreme will depend on your own fate and perceptions. At most, I can give you a primer to the path towards the Supreme King-level. The rest is up to you."

"At present, the Gu Yuan Tribe has established a King-level Tribe, but the situation we face is becoming increasingly difficult to control. Now, I’m preparing to allow you to venture outside the tribe to take control of certain areas. What are your thoughts?"

Xiao Chen’s voice rose, and his eyes once again focused on his disciples. At this moment, each of the nine disciples had different expressions, but soon Tian Fang spoke up, "We will follow the Master’s orders."

"Respectfully obeying Master’s commands," the other disciples echoed in unison.

"Currently, our Gu Yuan Tribe governs a total of thirty-seven Human Race Territories. Excluding the Border Wasteland Region, I’m prepared to assign you to oversee and patrol these territories," Xiao Chen indicated to his disciples.

"Master, with more than thirty Human Race Territories now under our Gu Yuan Tribe’s rule, I fear that my fellow brothers will not be able to cover them all," one disciple expressed his concern.

"You only need to oversee one territory, and naturally you will be able to control the neighboring ones," Xiao Chen replied softly to the disciple’s doubts.

"By overseeing these territories, your purpose is to ensure stability in each area; there is no need to get involved in the growth and development of the tribes within them."

"As for your assistance, whether you choose from within our tribe or otherwise, you can make the decision."

"Master, as we oversee the territories, if any tribe acts against the Gu Yuan Tribe, we would need the authority to make decisions independently," another disciple spoke up.

"Good," Xiao Chen nodded and then said, "The reason you are being sent to oversee the territories is to maintain the stability of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Naturally, you’ll deal with those tribes and warriors who do not obey us. However, you must be the ones to measure restraint."

Pausing, he continued, "But it is absolutely forbidden to oppress the various territories and tribes by relying on the might of the Gu Yuan Tribe."

"We wouldn’t dare," the disciples replied.

"This time, Tian Fang and Yun Wei need not go to the territories just yet; Zi Yuan will be in charge of the tribe’s elixir supply. Only the six of you brothers will go first. Furthermore, the regions of Ten Thousand Mountain, Ten Thousand Spirits, Snow Peak, and Wind Flame are located close to the Border Wasteland Region where our Gu Yuan Tribe resides, so there is no need for you to oversee them. You will just need to take your positions in the territories to the north, and with the exception of a few southern territories, you should be able to manage."

"Master, I have a suggestion, if I may present it," the eldest disciple Tian Fang spoke up.

At Xiao Chen’s gesture, Tian Fang continued, "Since Master commands us to oversee the territories, might we establish a Martial Arts Academy in each territory in the manner of our Tribe War God Palace? This will allow us to gather the region’s young warriors and send those with talent to the War God Palace."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. Now that the Gu Yuan Tribe ruled such vast lands, there was indeed a need for a link to unite all territories and tribes—and the idea from his eldest disciple Tian Fang seemed very suitable.
