Chapter 323: Chapter 214: The Glory of the Tribe (Six More Completed)_1

Two days later, the soldiers who had gone out to fight returned to the tribe. The green urns filled with ashes of their fallen comrades added another layer of sadness to the tribe. Humanity had been through a hundred battles in the desolate wilds, shedding blood in every fight. People must stand guard over the lands beneath them and the women and children behind them. This is a test of blood and fire, something that generation after generation of the human bloodline has sworn to uphold with their lives.

The soldiers that returned after just over ten days of fighting felt as if a lifetime had passed. The familiar city, the Qing Stone houses of their fellow tribesmen, brought them a touch of warmth, for perhaps it won’t be long before the Gu Yuan Tribe will face enemies on all sides, losing their footing in the Great Wasteland.

The calamity that befell their tribe was a harsh blow. In the Great Wasteland, power was revered. Those with power could control everything at their will. However, the Gu Yuan Tribe was not yet powerful. A single War Soldier was enough to make the whole tribe panic and shake the rest of its 170,000 members.

The three-story Stone Tower.

Following Xiao Chen’s instructions, the Stone Hall had been hurriedly repaired. The hastily built giant stones still had sharp corners unpolished, yet it mattered not.

In the silent Great Hall, all Blood Refining Realm Warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe were present, even the Five Brothers of the Guest Elder family who had intended to leave were among them. As for the sudden absence of the five familiar figures in the tribe, everyone tacitly refrained from mentioning it as if they had never existed.

After two days, the returning soldiers alleviated the fears of the tribe to some extent. Even though they knew that even if the entire tribe were to take up arms, they wouldn’t be a match for the Iron Hoof Tribe, having their own fellow tribesmen around offered them some comfort.

"I am sure all of you are already aware of the events that have transpired in the tribe a few days ago!"

Xiao Chen’s gaze swept about, calmly looking at everyone below, paying particular attention to the Blood Refining Realm Warriors who had recently integrated into the tribe.

As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, everyone fell silent. The Iron Hoof War Division was like a mountain pressing on everyone’s hearts, not only because of the gap in rankings between a mid-ranked division and a low-ranked division, but also, Towering Realm martial artists were considered demigods in this land, who could manipulate heaven and earth to their advantage. Placed in the Great Wasteland, they were not weak and could ride the winds and break the waves. They were the real strong ones who trampled on the void and had great power.

Such Towering Realm martial artists were not few in the Iron Hoof Tribe. Compared to them, the War Soldier Tie Mo was nothing. Now, disputes had arisen between them and Tie Mo, and it was certain that Tie Mo would definitely label the Gu Yuan Clan as traitors colluding with the enemy. This would make the tribe an enemy to the world, and the Iron Hoof Tribe, they would surely crush the rebellion completely.

As to whether others in the Great Wasteland would believe Tie Mo’s side of the story, it didn’t matter. What mattered was the Iron Hoof Tribe’s control over the wasteland stretched to hundreds of thousands of miles, with thousands of subordinate human war tribes. The Iron Hoof Tribe’s Imperial Decree was absolute, and they would never provide an opportunity for the Gu Yuan Tribe to refute the accusations. They would have no choice but to obey.

Even if they knew there was a hidden truth in this matter, the Iron Hoof Tribe would never admit that their War Soldier is a bully and a liar. The only solution was to cut the Gordian Knot and erase everything. This was the law of the jungle that has prevailed in the Great Wasteland for countless years.

"Chief, I, Lao Shi, don’t care about some bullshit war soldier, the sneaky little man. If I ever meet him, I’ll smash him into a meat pie with my hammer," Shi Ya could not contain his anger and hollered in the Great Hall. "Chief, whatever you say, I will do. I’ll follow your every instruction."

Everyone dismissed Shi Ya’s words, their heads hung low. By now, it was a foregone conclusion that they were at odds with the Iron Hoof Tribe. They could only pray that the Iron Hoof Tribe, backing it all, could eliminate their external obstacles, but was that even feasible? Every member of the tribe shook their heads in doubt.

The Human War Tribe had colluded with alien tribes, a fact discovered by the chief emissary who inspected all regions. This played right into Iron Mo’s calculated moves, all it took was a touch of greed to wipe out an entire tribe.

Facing such an enemy, the Gu Yuan Tribe might be pitched against all the Human War Tribes in the Giant Stone Valley in a matter of moments. This didn’t even consider the central power within the Iron Hoof Tribe, the gap between them all was so overwhelmingly vast.

"Does the chief really have no other way out? Can’t the entire tribe escape under the Iron Hoof Tribe’s territory and take refuge under another mid-tier tribe?" The Blood Fiend Elder hesitated, only to end up with a bitter smile.

Only mid-tier battle divisions could resist the attacks of mid-tier tribes. Even if the entire tribe could move, the closest mid-tier battle division to the Iron Hoof Tribe was nearly seven to eight hundred thousand miles away. The ruthless ancient forests, treacherous mountains and rivers, and lurking beasts in the swamps marked the journey. The Gu Yuan Tribe might be wiped out by the Iron Hoof Tribe before they even reached their destination.

On the contrary, which mid-tier tribe would accept a tribe bearing the stigma of colluding with an alien tribe, and risk its relations with battle divisions of equal strength, to stand up for a smaller tribe?

Xiao Chen said calmly, "The Gu Yuan Tribe is just a remote small tribe established for about eight hundred years. The tribesmen have been thriving in this thousand-mile lands and have never set foot out of the Giant Stone Valley, not to mention remaining distantly isolated from other mid-tier battle divisions. Even if the whole tribe were to migrate, I believe that Iron Mo won’t let go of us. To ingratiate themselves with the envoy, many Human Tribes in the Giant Stone Valley will willingly surround and suppress the Gu Yuan Tribe at their command!"

The Blood Fiend Elder sighed heavily, pointing out the obvious. The Gu Yuan Clan was all but a remote small clan that had offended the envoy of the upper state. It didn’t matter anymore whether the Gu Yuan Clan had colluded with alien clans. What mattered was the opportunity to get closer to the envoy.

"What are we afraid of! If a man should die, let it be like a bird soaring towards the sky, undying for ten thousand years. The Gu Yuan Tribe has honored our ancestors and predecessors. We didn’t disgrace the will of our previous generations, yet we’ve experienced such calamity. This is utterly unfair to the Gu Yuan Tribe! If the saber in my hand can behead the aliens, it can also restore the glory of the tribe by beheading those people who have slandered us!"

Lin Shan cried out, seeming somewhat mad.

"Yeah! Since the chief has no way out, we are not afraid to fight. Our Gu Yuan Tribe has not disgraced the honor of our ancestors and predecessors. The day will come when the Gu Yuan Tribe will see justice served!"

The other Blood Refining Realm Warriors in the Great Hall also became frantic. They had fought relentlessly in the great wasteland until their azure blood ran dry, they didn’t expect to be treated this way, resulting in a burning rage in their hearts.

PS: I was having a great day until I came across a ridiculously rude reader. It’s even more annoying when they are using pirated versions. I really don’t understand who let you out. If you don’t like what you see, just go away. I did not ask you to read and it’s absolutely not right for you to verbally attack personally. Being respectful to people doesn’t mean I can be easily bullied. For someone as disrespectful as you, uttering profanities, how do you even have the nerve to show up, is this your family’s
