Chapter 312: Chapter 303: Greedy! (Third Update)_1

What!

"Grand Elder, you mean....!"

All four people in the Great Hall furrowed their brows, shocked, and saw astonishment in each other’s eyes.

"Impossible! A middle-grade Battle Division is such a formidable existence. Although led by our chief, our Gu Yuan Tribe has engaged in many battles and expanded our territory this past year, we surely can’t have caught the attention of the Iron Hoof Tribe. Let alone other tribes under Iron Hoof’s territory, simply speaking of Giant Stone Valley alone, there are countless tribes stronger than ours. What foundation does our Gu Yuan Tribe possess to catch the eye of the Iron Hoof War Division?"

Second Elder Lin Shan was the first to speak up, but his voice was drained of strength and trailed off towards the end.

"I think the War Messenger is interested in the potential of our Gu Yuan tribe and wants to annex us," said Elder Tieshi. "Since the War Messenger’s arrival, no imperial command has been issued, he has been inspecting the tribe every day and praising our developments. He even intends to forcefully enter the forbidden area of our tribe!"

"Indeed, fortunately, I have already collected some of the cultivation technique collections in the tribe!" Lin Shan spoke angrily, "Each tribe’s collection of cultivation methods is a crucial area in the tribe. Nevertheless, the War Messenger forcefully intruded without any regard."

"In recent days, I have also checked some of the tribe’s records and sought opinions from tribe members who have had contact with the War Messenger. The possibility of this happening is above 90 percent!"

"I wonder what conclusion the Grand Elder has come to."

"Such occurrences aren’t supposed to be happening. Many people in the intermediate Iron Hoof Tribe have done it countless times, already accustomed to it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen was somewhat puzzled. "Even if the War Messenger intends to integrate our tribe into the Iron Hoof War Division, there’s nothing wrong with it. After all, all the low-grade Battle Divisions in the Giant Stone Valley are nominally under the Iron Hoof Tribe. They obey the Iron Hoof Tribe’s conscription commands. Furthermore, being integrated into the Iron Hoof Tribe is a great favor for some small tribes; I believe there should be quite a few tribespeople who are more than happy."

At these words, Tieshi couldn’t help but smile bitterly. "Being incorporated into the Iron Hoof Tribe is indeed coveted by every tribe. However, this doesn’t mean becoming real tribesmen of the Iron Hoof Tribe but rather becoming a tribe under this War Messenger’s command. In other words, the entire tribe becomes the slaves of the War Messenger."

What!

"Bastards!"

"Grand Elder, are you saying this War Messenger wants our Gu Yuan Tribe to submit to him, wants our Chief to submit to him, and wants our tribe to become his vassal in the future?"

"Precisely, such things are not uncommon. There are several tribes in our Giant Stone Valley that have become food-producing tribes under the thrall of the Iron Hoof War Division’s Ten-Thousand Men Leader and other senior members. These tribes still nominally belong to the intermediate Iron Hoof War Division, but annually they have to hand over their harvest to their masters, serving them like slaves and blood livestock. It can be said to be all harm and no benefit!"

"More than that, once you submit to them, you will be bound by a life-and-death contract with these upper-division members, which cannot be violated for all eternity unless one party’s bloodline is completely extinct. Everything in the tribe belongs to this person, and he holds the power of life and death over it."

"Taking advantage of others."

At this moment, such a phrase appeared in Xiao Chen’s mind. This so-called "taking under one’s command" is merely a game played by the high-ranking members of these upper-division tribes. After all, they are also humans who need to cultivate, and they need people to serve them. Even if they have enough resources, they still have their direct relatives. Who would think that resources are too much?

Therefore, they are collecting promising tribes in the Great Wasteland for themselves and gathering resources for themselves. It just like the feudal system that Xiao Chen knew from ancient times, where the Sect Master has absolute authority over his own food-managing territory. But when it comes to this continent, it becomes a matter of forcibly seizing by the strong.

One can imagine that once the Gu Yuan Tribe is controlled by this upper division War Messenger, the entire tribe will become his blood repository, providing nourishment for the War Messenger at any time. From then on, the Gu Yuan Tribe will be like the blood livestock raised by this War Messenger, enduring this endlessly.

Sigh!

The hot-tempered Lin Shan slapped the armrest of the stone chair, causing a buzzing sound in the Great Hall.

"Our Gu Yuan Tribe is still too weak. Although we have rapidly developed over the past year, expanded our territory, and united our tribespeople, our foundation is still too thin. We cannot grow without time. I didn’t expect that just as we drove away the jackals, tigers and leopards would come, and they are a voracious demon!"

The atmosphere in the Great Hall became somewhat oppressive. The Gu Yuan Tribe, under Xiao Chen’s leadership, had just had a turning point. Was it going to become slaves of others, with life and death controlled by others?

After a long time, Xiao Chen suddenly spoke, "Alright, the three Elders, go deal with the tribe’s affairs. I will meet this War Messenger."

Xiao Chen could already sense a domineering and cold chill rising within the tribe, mixed with a surge of supreme yang heat. The two energies were colliding, evidently, the chill was gradually dissolving the flames.

"The War Messenger is indeed insatiable and is currently eyeing Heavenly Horse."

Xiao Chen’s figure flashed. In the next moment he appeared on top of the Tribe Stone Tower. At this moment, a white figure in the sky was enveloped in cold air, suppressing a small horse engulfed in raging flames in mid-air. He barely reacted to Xiao Chen’s emergence.

That was because he had the strength. A warrior at the limit of the Blood Refining Realm, nearly at the Layered Tower Realm, easily could establish a top-tier low-grade Battle Division and even effortlessly destroy an existing one. His eyes were filled with greed for the golden Heavenly Horse, with no intention of concealing his desire. He didn’t care about the reactions of the tribespeople in the Gu Yuan Tribe below.

His return to the Gu Yuan Tribe this time aimed to make the Gu Yuan Tribe his servant tribe, making them work for him. Secondly, he came for the young Heavenly Horse. Since his arrival at the Giant Stone Valley, there have been numerous rumors circulating about Xiao Chen’s unparalleled talent and power challenging even older generations of warriors. With the young Heavenly Horse always at his side, he had long set his sights on the Gu Yuan Tribe.

As for the foundation of the Gu Yuan Tribe, he didn’t pay it any mind. His concern was to bring Xiao Chen under his command, fight for him on all fronts, and gain not only a Heavenly Horse but also a highly gifted helper, killing two birds with one stone.

"Such outrageous behavior not only usurps our tribe, but we’ve also been tolerating it enormously, and now he’s even targeting Heavenly Horse. This is too much!" The Second Elder Lin Shan yelled angrily in his heart. At this moment, the three Elders had also seen the situation in the sky.

However, their emotions couldn’t be easily revealed now. For a low-grade Battle Division like them, the Sect Master’s Tribe is undeniably an overwhelming behemoth that they cannot stir. Even if it’s just a Ten-Thousand Men Leader that has descended on their Gu Yuan Tribe now.
