Chapter 1427: Chapter 1382: Making up One’s Mind to Occupy the Imperial Beast!

Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s gaze swept across the entire Qiong Lake King City and moved beyond the city walls to the rolling river waters, where the silhouettes of ships heaved and surged!

These were the ships transporting resources. Even from a great distance, he could still make out the mottled bloodstains on the vessels and some sails covered with ashes, evidently harassed by Warriors of the Sacred Beast Tribe!

Now, the Sacred Beast Tribe had formed an encirclement against the humans in the Azure River Area. They were surrounded on three sides, and although there were no major powers of the Sacred Beast Tribe to the north, heading further north would lead to the borderlands of the Beast Underworld—an absolute Dead Land. The Human Bloodline had no place left to retreat.

Of course, this was under the condition that the humans stood their ground, for, in Xiao Chen’s possession, there was still a passage to return to the Human Realm. The most pressing issue now was how to ensure the safe return of the scattered Human Race Warriors!

"Clan Chief, your subordinate Gu Dong has returned with his team!"

Suddenly, a streak of light shot towards Xiao Chen at the center of Qiong Lake King City, and a figure kneeled and reported in a low voice.

The newcomer was stained with blood, and his aura was somewhat erratic—evidently, he had been through numerous battles!

"How did it go?" Xiao Chen inquired.

"Clan Chief, indeed there is a power of the Sacred Beast Tribe that has infiltrated the Azure Blue River Region. My men and I have clashed with them, but they all managed to escape. It is they who have been reassembling the scattered Sacred Beast Tribe and continuously harassing our fleets, aiming to delay the speed of our Human Clan!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen remained silent, continuously pondering. By now, he had confirmed that the Sacred Beast Tribe must be aware of the dire predicament of the Human Clan. After all, every human in the Eastern Wasteland South Region had experienced the drastic changes in heaven and earth.

Perhaps they didn’t know the cause was the Great Rift, but such a calamity could not be concealed.

The number of fallen warriors of the Human Clan had been increasing these past few days. Clearly, the Sacred Beast Tribe had learned what had happened to the Human Clan through the capture of memories!

"Gu Dong, you lead your men to intercept this force of the Sacred Beast Tribe and ensure the safe return of our Human Clan’s plundering teams to Qiong Lake King City!" Following that, Xiao Chen instructed aloud, and the warriors below accepted the command and departed!

At this moment, a streak of light gleamed in the distant Sky Vault, and within a breath’s time, a figure pierced the Void and approached Xiao Chen.

"Greetings to the Holy Son; Qing Luo has led the War Masters back safely!"

The person who arrived was the Qingluo Noble Family’s Qingluo King. She had led a team of War Masters to raid along the Huai River Channel. Clearly, they had completed the raid and were now leading the team back!

Outside the city, on the Azure River, a colossal fleet that stretched as far as the eye could see approached, ship after ship in a dense mass, with all manner of vessels amounting to thousands.

"Qingluo King, you have worked hard!"

Xiao Chen spoke out, for the only queen of the Southern Territory was clearly no ordinary person. Moreover, to rank among the kings, she naturally possessed no womanly compassion—the resolve to kill was a given!

"Holy Son, I have escorted the fleet back. Along the way, we were continuously harassed by the remnants of the Sacred Beast Tribe. From my observations, these scattered members of the Sacred Beast Tribe seem to have been organized and now exhibit a sense of order!"

The Qingluo King had also noticed the changes in the Sacred Beast Tribe; after all, a mere rabble is weak, but with organization and order, their combat power significantly differs!

"Indeed, the counterattack of the Sacred Beast Tribe has begun, and that’s why I need Qingluo King to head downstream along the Lu River immediately to bring back our Human Clan’s fleets on the Lu River!"

Xiao Chen didn’t delay and issued his commands aloud.

"Good, I will depart now." Qingluo King also didn’t hesitate and agreed to the task.

Of course, Xiao Chen did not let Qingluo King leave alone. The southern part of the Lu River was one of the central areas of the Sacred Beast Tribe’s counterattack, faced with overwhelmingly great pressure. Relying solely on the Lord of Demon Burying and King Xianyang, they could not withstand it at all.

If the Lord of Demon Burying was defeated, the Sacred Beast Tribe would surely press in. Thus, the Gu Yuan Tribe Warriors along the lengthy Lu River Channel would face endless slaughter. Even if they had to retreat, they needed to hold out until all the Tribal War Masters had returned!

Now, Xiao Chen had once again conjured three Martial Arts avatars—the Law of Earth avatar, the Law of Wind avatar, and the Law of Water avatar. The avatars following Qingluo King were those of Earth and Wind!

As for the Law of Water avatar, it went to Two Realms Mountain on the southwestern border to rendezvous with the four great kings and jointly resist the Tian Mang Ancient Clans.

"Summon someone, pass the order down, command the Songshui Waterway, Huai River Waterway, and other waters where our Gu Yuan Tribe War Masters are located, to all retreat back to Qiong Lake King City!"

"Tell all the War Soldiers that if necessary, abandon the resources and must return to Qiong Lake King City within two days!" As Xiao Chen’s orders were issued, countless lights streaked out from the Qiong Lake King City, extending in all directions.

Indeed, Xiao Chen had already issued similar retreat orders previously, but due to the abundant resources obtained by the humans, the return to Qiong Lake King City was significantly delayed by the sheer amount of resources.

This time, Xiao Chen could only order the War Soldiers to abandon resources and return to Qiong Lake King City as quickly as possible, for all those who entered were Gu Yuan Tribe War Masters. Even if ten were lost on a single branch, with countless branches over the Azure territory, this added up to a huge number. Moreover, now that they had obtained enough resources, he was unwilling to risk the lives of his tribe’s people!

In addition to this, Xiao Chen was not idle; he also had a new plan.

Since the Sacred Beast Tribe didn’t want him to leave, he wouldn’t!

He would be like a nail, firmly hammered into the land of the Sacred Beast Tribe!

In reality, this was also the result of his deliberation. The Human tribe had killed so many of the Royal Beast Race’s tribe people and had completely devastated the Sacred Beast Tribe Northern Territory, but despite all this, the Sacred Beast Tribe Strong Ones still had not appeared.

Based on feedback from all sides, even though the Royal Beast Race’s forces that currently appeared on three sides of the Azure River had a united front, the real strong ones had not yet emerged. He didn’t believe that aside from the Emperor Sacred Beast, the Royal Beast Race had no other Stage Eight Realm or Stage Nine Realm strong ones.

But at this stage of events, while the Human tribe had brought the fight to their doorstep, they still had not shown themselves, and instead, some aristocratic families tasked with guarding the land within the Royal Beast Race began to respond one after another.

Clearly, beneath the surface unity that the Royal Beast Race seemingly presented, there was still an inner divide unknown to outsiders—it wasn’t as harmonious as it seemed!

So, he wanted to take a bet!

He bet that the various forces within the Royal Beast Race were not on good terms!

He bet that the Human Clan’s Strongest could arrive at the outskirts in time and secure a position within the Royal Beast Race!

This would be like driving a nail firmly into the Earth of the Sacred Beast Tribe’s territory, securely occupying the Azure River Area, and imposing a threat to the Royal Beast Race!

Advance, and they could attack and conquer the territories of the Royal Beast Race; retreat, and they could occupy the Azure River Area, domineering over the entire Beast Underworld!

Let the Beast Underworld henceforth endure under the edge of the Human race’s swords!

Of course, all this was predicated on first recalling the scattered Gu Yuan Tribe Warriors back to Qiong Lake King City because with the strength he currently held in his hands, it was not enough to defend the entire Azure River Area!

So as long as he held Qiong Lake Imperial City, firmly taking control of this imperial city, he would have the capital to resist the Royal Beast Race’s conquest!

Suddenly, in front of Xiao Chen, a burst of green light flashed, quickly followed by a beam of Purple Light.

"This is the Beast Underworld; old man, I have never set foot in a foreign tribe’s Small World in my life. It really feels different from the energy of our Human Realm!"

Before Xiao Chen, a Purple Robe elder appeared—it was Zi Yun King!

The master of the War God Temple, who had been hired by Xiao Chen with a King-class spiritual object, had always been in the Gu Yuan Clan. Now, he had arrived in the Beast Underworld through the Mountain and River Imprint Passage!

With the appearance of Zi Yun King, Xiao Chen did not waste words and immediately said, "I want to be thoroughly nailed in the Beast Underworld; thus, using this imperial city as a base, I will construct a complete fortress to withstand the Royal Beast Race’s conquest and hold out until the arrival of our Human Race Warriors!"

What!

Hearing Xiao Chen’s words, Zi Yun King almost jumped up, his eyes widening as he exclaimed, "Xiao Chen, have you gone mad?!"

At this moment, he didn’t even address him as the Son!

What a joke, using a single fortress to resist an entire race!

This was nothing but a pipe dream; even if this race wasn’t prominent among the All Heavens, every race capable of standing amongst the All Heavens, which one could be simple?

That’s why Zi Yun King had such an intense reaction!

It was simply laughable!

Xiao Chen had anticipated Zi Yun King’s reaction, so he waited until Zi Yun King had calmed down a bit before speaking again, "Only by establishing a foothold here can we continue to erode the entirety of the Royal Beast Race in the future."

"Impossible, impossible!"

Zi Yun King was still exclaiming repeatedly, shaking his head incessantly.

"Son, no fortress can stop an attack from an entire race, even if there is such a fortress, it’s not something you or I could build. We’ve already plundered enough blood and resources, we might as well just retreat back to the Human Realm!"

Zi Yun King kept talking to Xiao Chen.

However, Xiao Chen shook his head gently, his voice growing softer as he said, "Zi Yun King, I know that this time we have obtained enough resources, enough to appease the uproar from the Abyssal Pit, but what about the next time?"

"Who can guarantee that when the Abyssal Pit rages the next time, our Human tribe will have enough resources to fill the gap of the uproar!"

"Yes, our attack on the Royal Beast Race this time can be considered very successful, but we must think long-term from now on. It’s been nearly a month, and there’s still no news from the East Emperor Palace, even with Brother Xibao there’s no news, what does this tell us!"

"This shows that the difficulty faced by our Human tribe this time is beyond your and my imagination. What do we do next? We can only save ourselves!"

"The Royal Beast Race’s territory is the only place where I can capture resources in the Eastern Wasteland South Region and make up for our own shortcomings. So even if there’s a sliver of hope, we can’t give up!"

"I can’t watch our Southern Territory fall into decline, nor can I watch our Human Bloodline sink into oblivion!"
