Chapter 1258: Chapter 1222: Enhancing the Strength of the Elders, Starry Sky Battleship Soul Guidance!

Gazing at all the eyes in the Great Hall that were now turned toward him, Xiao Chen did not hesitate to tell them about the Gu Yuan Tribe’s Spatial Transfer Array and the Ancient Desolation World.

As long as these hidden families vacated some of their mine vein resources and handed them over for the development of the tribes in their respective regions, the Gu Yuan King’s Department would allow these hidden families to use the Void Teleportation Array to travel to the Southern Domain of the Human Realm. Furthermore, they would distribute a portion of the Ancient Ruins Tokens to these hidden families and ancient tribes.

In essence, the loss of resource mines that they relinquished would be compensated by the Gu Yuan Tribe through trade convoys to make up for the expenses of their respective aristocratic families and ancient tribes.

As Xiao Chen’s voice fell, the Great Hall sank into a peaceful silence. At this moment, it had never occurred to these ancient tribes that the Gu Yuan Tribe would offer such conditions.

Looking at Xiao Chen’s serene gaze, King Xiang Song felt that something was amiss. Despite trying to figure it out, he couldn’t pinpoint the issue, but his instincts told him that there was definitely a problem.

Being able to enter the Southern Domain was an opportunity for any tribe with strength, and frankly, they did not wish to give it up.

Once the various resources from the Southern Domain reached the Eastern Desolate Land, their value was bound to increase manifold. Furthermore, these would need to be obtained from the Eastern Emperor Domain.

Only those powerful King’s Clans from the Eastern Desolate Land with fleets could travel to and from other regions of the Human Realm. Almost every round trip reaped several times the profit, and it was impossible not to cast envious glances their way.

Yet they stood no chance of getting involved.

Now, the Gu Yuan Tribe had given them a glimmer of hope. Even though the Shifting Array couldn’t transport warships, which one of their tribes didn’t possess a long heritage with some large spatial storage treasures? To be able to enter the Southern Domain would surely bring them several times the benefits.

Today, the Gu Yuan Tribe was even willing to share this with the hidden families, though not without a cost. They would have to relinquish a portion of their resource mines to the Human Tribes in their respective territories.

"What are the thoughts of all chiefs here?"

Seeing the various expressions of the ancient tribe chiefs, Xiao Chen smiled lightly.

"You all must know that the Southern Domain is rich in resources. Take, for instance, the fire-type gems produced there; a high-quality fire-type gem is equivalent to a high-quality Yuan stone in the Southern Domain, but once it arrives in our Eastern Desolate Land, its value increases tenfold, and supply can’t meet the demand. These stones support the trade convoys that travel between the great regions of the Human Realm. All belong to large tribes earning vast profits. Do you all really want to continue spending a huge number of Yuan stones to purchase them?"

At this point, Xiao Chen paused and then continued, "I gather that every one of the aristocratic families and ancient tribes present expends a considerable amount of gems and casting materials to forge weapons and armor every year. Though not all are fire-type gems, the expense is not small, is it?"

"Is the King truly willing to open up the Void Teleportation Array to our ancient tribes?"

"Indeed!" Xiao Chen nodded, then followed up with, "As long as you yield a portion of the resource mines to the tribes in your respective regions, allowing them to develop without being hindered by resource limitations, all of the aristocratic families and ancient tribes under my Gu Yuan King’s Department can use the Void Teleportation Array to travel to the Southern Domain. However..."

At this point, Xiao Chen stopped again, causing all the ancient tribe chiefs of the hidden families who were eagerly following his words to freeze.

Had Xiao Chen changed his mind?

"However, each time you use the Void Teleportation Array, you’ll have to pay a fee. After all, the Gu Yuan Tribe also needs to expend resources to maintain the array."

Phew!

Instantly, the entirety of the Great Hall resounded with a long exhale, followed by bursts of laughter.

"That’s only natural. The transmission fee for the Void Teleportation Array exists in every region of the Human Realm, and we are no exception."

"Indeed, the King opening up the Void Teleportation Array for our use is already a great boon. We are extremely grateful."

...

"In that case, honorable chiefs, my Gu Yuan Tribe has forged a King-level Tribe, leading thirty-seven territories of the Human Race. We need all our tribes to work together!"

Xiao Chen’s voice echoed through the Great Hall, prompting a chorus of shouting from the chiefs.

...

Thus, without drawing swords or crossbows, Xiao Chen pacified both the two reigning aristocratic families and the thirteen ancient tribes under his rule through the exchange of interests.

Speaking of hidden families, one must also count the Nine Springs Family which had already formed an alliance with the Gu Yuan Tribe. However, the Nine Springs Family was somewhat different from these other aristocratic and ancient tribes, as their interests were already closely tied to the Gu Yuan Tribe.

After the hidden families and ancient tribes had left, Xiao Chen sat motionless in the Great Hall. Then, suddenly, a figure entered.

"Reporting to the clan leader, the Heavenly Blade King’s Department has sent a message. They have made their arrangements and are just awaiting the opening of the Gu Yuan Tribe Spatial Transfer Array."

The voice of Elder Chunmu resonated.

"Good!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded.

"Clan leader, these aristocratic families and ancient tribes only have eyes for profit. Even though they will give up a portion of their mine vein resources, they will still pose a significant concealed risk in the future."

Suddenly, Elder Chunmu spoke with a hint of concern.

"The hidden families are a vast and powerful force, one that has already surpassed the five great King-level Tribes of our Southern Domain. To completely crush them isn’t something that will happen overnight. They’ve agreed to our Gu Yuan Tribe’s terms, and in time, these hidden families and ancient tribes under our Gu Yuan Tribe’s rule will begin to show fractures with the other hidden families and ancient tribes across the entire Southern Domain."
