Chapter 293: Chapter 284: Take the Initiative! _1

The first flush of dawn broke, and golden light bathed the entire Gu Yuan Tribe. After a silent night, the vitality of the tribe was once again rekindled. A group of youngsters, who had just broken into the Bone-Tempering Realm, armored with Qingmu hard bows on their backs and black iron arrow feathers in their arrow baskets, led by the tribal warriors, rushed out of the Gu Yuan Tribe, heading into the dust of the Great Wasteland.

Then, Xiao Chen left the stone tower. A night had unsuspectingly passed and since the last twenty odd days, the tribe once again regained its peace. The tribe people had stepped out of their sorrow, but a suppressed atmosphere still lingered amongst them.

Even with the most important festival of all Human Tribes in the Great Wasteland approaching—the Year Worship Festival—the people of the tribe did not feel the slightest excitement. No one knew what kind of catastrophe the Gu Yuan Tribe would face the next day. The Ghost Tribe was only one amongst them.

The previous day, Dark Hall Master Tie Wen returned and confirmed the suspicion in Xiao Chen’s heart—there were deep connections between the Wu Yuan Tribe and the Baoxiang Tribe. The Ghost Tribe’s stray soldiers, who had landed in the tribe, were the remnants of the Ghost Tribe that the Wu Yuan Tribe had besieged. Xiao Chen did not believe these events to be mere coincidences.

This time it was the Ghost Tribe, but the Gu Yuan Tribe had to face more than just a Ghost Tribe. Now, the Foreign Void Road guarded by several major tribes around the entire mid-rank Iron Hoof Tribe was restless, the entire Great Wasteland was like demons dancing in a frenzy—multiple Exotic Tribes simultaneously appeared around the Gu Yuan Tribe, an unprecedented phenomenon for the tribe in centuries.

For any Human War Tribe in the Great Wasteland, the appearance of exotic tribes only brought disaster; there would be bloodshed and death!

For the Gu Yuan Tribe at this moment, what they had to face was not only the onslaught of exotic tribes but also the hidden arrows from their fellow tribesmen.

Looking at the bustling tribespeople below the stone tower, Xiao Chen’s gaze was grave. With the slaughter of the Ghost Tribe’s stray warriors who had attacked the Gu Yuan Tribe this time, and the thwarting of the Wu Yuan Tribe’s conspiracy, he believed that those behind it would not easily give up. Fortunately, Xiao Chen had already discovered their conspiracy, giving his tribe preparation time.

Whoosh!

A golden light flashed by. Turning around lightly, Xiao Chen reached out and gently stroked the wings of the golden figure, murmuring, "Little horse, do you think my Gu Yuan Tribe should sit and await death or take the initiative to attack?"

The little horse gave him a glance and retracted its golden wings from his palms with a fluttering sound, turned its big head sideways, snorted, and placed a treasured medicine—which it had pilfered from some elder—in Xiao Chen’s hand.

"Roar!"

Looking at the shrivelled beast-leather bag hanging under the golden mane of the little horse, Xiao Chen could not help but chuckle. He knew the meaning of the little horse’s gesture, and placed the treasured medicine aside. As he stroked its smooth mane again, he smiled, "I know you can’t understand these things yet, just as you can’t speak now. But who can tell about tomorrow? You may become the Heavenly Horse King, and our Gu Yuan Tribe may become a supreme king-level tribe of the human race, dominating the four corners of Earth. but for now, we must first crush that annoying bug!"

Wuyuan Tribe.

Inside that same Blackwood Pavilion, three figures were kneeling and sitting in front of a blackwood table. The atmosphere in the room was a bit gloomy, and no one had tasted the richly fragrant soup on each table.

"I didn’t expect the Ghost Tribe leader to be so weak. He is so useless. With more than ten Ghost Generals and strength comparable to the peak of the Blood-Refining Realm in our Human Tribe, he still fell completely in the Gu Yuan Tribe even though we supplied him with time and place advantage. I can’t believe it. It’s a joke that this small tribe, located on the edge of my Giant Stone Valley with scarce resources and less than ten thousand soldiers, could defy the heavens. I’m not resigned to this!" said a young man with a gloomy face, the cold look in his eyes seemed to make the temperature in the wooden house drop.

"Cousin, don’t be angry. Our plan last time was not well thought out. Indeed, the Ghost Tribe is useless, but their total annihilation also confirms one thing — the Gu Yuan Tribe is not simple. I have also taken a close look at the background of this Gu Yuan Tribe. The tribal chief, Xiao Chen, is very remarkable. The strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe today is all because of him. It’s hard to imagine how weak this small tribe was before he took the position of tribal chief. It appears we’ve all underestimated him," said another young man across from the gloomy young man.

"Of course Xiao Chen isn’t simple. Back then, when he was only in the early stage of the Blood-Refining Realm, he dared to oppose me. He was so arrogantly ignorant that he even made a Battle Platform appointment with me. Had it not been for the tribe leader of our Sect Master’s Tribe issuing an imperial command asking our Baoxiang Tribe to cancel the Battle Platform agreement with the Gu Yuan Tribe, why would I have to resort to such a strategy!"

"Cousin, don’t worry. This Xiao Chen is nothing more than a jester, just because he has had some good luck, he does not put anyone in the world in his eyes. Even if this Battle Platform agreement is cancelled, how much commotion can the tribal chief of a remote small tribe cause? The extermination of the stray Ghost Tribe soldiers this time has let us know his current strength. Moreover, we’re in the dark, and Xiao Chen is out in the open. This time, four Exotic Tribe stray soldier units will join together, and I don’t believe this Xiao Chen can escape again if the sky comes falling down!"

"Uncle, this time it was because of me that you had to work so hard and even had to stoop to conspire with those exotic tribes. It was my crime for failing Xiang Tian. I’ve already notified my mother, who is far away in the Baoxiang Tribe, to send a batch of soldiers to the Wuyuan Tribe as a token of my appreciation," the gloomy young man said.

"Tian, our Wuyuan Tribe is one with you. Although your father is in his prime and hasn’t appointed a successor yet, your father has numerous children. The stronger our Wuyuan Tribe is, the greater the help you will receive when competing for the position of successor," said the middle-aged man at the head of the room with a smile. "Moreover, this time the middle-ranking Battle Division has ordered an encirclement and extermination of the Exotic Tribe remnants. The existence of the Exotic Tribe stray soldier alliance near our Wuyuan tribe has attracted the attention of the Sect Master Tribe. This time, letting them attack the Gu Yuan tribe is putting them to good use. After they have suffered mutual casualties with the Gu Yuan Tribe, I, the Tribal Chief, will personally lead our tribal soldiers to kill them all!"

"At that time, not only will the score be settled with them, but the Sect Master’s Tribe’s command will also be completed. Isn’t that a win-win situation! Uncle, you really are as cunning as a fox. I toast you," Tian said and raised his glass.

The next moment, the room was filled with bursts of grim laughter, the sound of wine cups clinking, and incessant flattering.
