Legendary Clan Chief
Chapter 346 - 336

Chapter 346: 336

Now, Xiao Chen’s cultivation base has reached the peak of the Blood Refining Realm. Although he hasn’t yet established the Circulating Heaven Qi Sea by piercing through all twelve channels of his body, his soul perception is no less than a regular Towering Realm Great Venerable.

Despite the considerable distance, he could still keenly sense powerful gusts of wind and a pervasive terror emanating from the gap–it may not pose much threat to him, yet his enormous group of tribespeople would find it challenging to pass through these strong winds. At this moment, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Chief, we have scouted it out. This crack is called the Hidden Mountain Cliff, created casually by a Venerable tens of thousands of years ago to establish a connection between the Dragon Fall Territory and the entire Giant Stone Valley."

At this moment, the five conquest Elders, including Xue Sha, who were originally assigned to sneak into the Dragon Fall Territory had returned to the tribe and stood in front of Xiao Chen.

"Casually carved out?"

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but sigh. A Venerable is an existence at least within the sixth heaven of the Towering Realm, a realm incomparably distant and vastly superior to his. He didn’t know how to describe the power of this Venerable; a blow delivered tens of thousands of years ago that left behind combat qi that refused to dissipate after all these years.

"We’ve asked the local mountain people, the strong winds and murderous qi in this mountain cliff gap cyclically intensify each month like tides, disappearing abruptly at the end of the month. Today is the last part of the lunar month, and three days from now will be the start of the new month. By then, our Gu Yuan Tribe people will be able to enter Dragon Fall Ridge."

Since they were now aware of the cyclic behavior of this mountain cliff gap, the Gu Yuan Tribe who had reached the outermost fringes of the Dragon Fall Ridge could only wait. Fortunately, today was already the latter part of the month.

Xiao Chen then issued an order, directing the tribespeople to find a valley that was easy to defend and difficult to attack as a temporary placement. He instructed them to rest well before entering the Dragon Fall Territory. Over this past month, not to mention the ordinary tribespeople, even he, a warrior at the peak of the Blood Refining Realm, felt a touch of fatigue.

After arranging the tribe’s defenses, a simple and rugged beast skin tent was erected in the middle of the valley. Within the tent, all the Blood Refining Realm warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe were present. At this moment, everyone appeared as fatigued as Xiao Chen. Over this past month, the safety of nearly two hundred thousand tribespeople rested on them like a heavy burden. They had to be on guard every day against sudden monster attacks, which demanded their full attention and vigilance.

"Elders, tell us what you discovered about the situation inside the Dragon Fall Territory!"

"Chief, the five of us, under orders, entered the Dragon Fall Ridge. To better understand the Ridge, we separated and investigated different directions."

Then, Xue Sha, one of the five, stood up and answered, "I went east when I entered Dragon Fall Ridge. The entire territory is in a state of mutual aggression. While there are non-human tribes lurking deep in the mountains, the human tribes continue to attack each other. I passed by over ten human war tribes on my journey. The strongest of them only had a warrior who had reached the peak of the middle stage of the Blood Refining Realm. Most of them were just scattered human tribes."

"Chief, I, Lao Shi, went directly towards the central position of the Dragon Fall Territory. Just as Elder Xue Sha stated, all the tribes in Dragon Fall Ridge are in a state of mutual aggression and war. However, the closer to the center of the Territory, the stronger the tribes."

"Chief, the two of us have gone ten thousand miles to the west of Dragon Fall Ridge, yet we are still not at the edge of the Luo Long Mountain Range. We have encountered two human tribes at war, seemingly over cultivation resources, but did not find the existence of any particularly strong warriors".

At this, Xue Sha stood up again and said, "Chief, I also entered a human war tribe to inquire about a few things. According to their responses, the geographical area of the entire Dragon Fall Territory seems to be half the size of the Giant Stone Valley. However, for some reason, the influence of the Iron Hoof War Division does not extend here and there are no middle-grade war tribes in the territory. There are thousands of human war tribes in the territory. The strongest among them are the three major war tribes, the Turtle Mountain War Division, the Qiu Niu War Division, and the Yushui War Division. These three powers formed a tribal alliance. Once a tribe surpasses their power in the territory, they would suppress it!"

"Oh," hearing this, Xiao Chen’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise. He then asked, "How strong are these three tribes?"

"Based on my estimation, each of these three tribes is equivalent to the top-tier tribes in our Giant Stone Valley. The Turtle Mountain War Division, the oldest among them, has been established for five thousand years, a duration comparable to that of an ordinary middle-grade war tribe!"

"Moreover, according to the rumor in Dragon Fall Territory, the Turtle Mountain War Division is the strongest human war tribe in the territory. As an alliance, the three tribes present a united front. However, the Qiu Niu War Division and Yushui War Division are privately united against the Turtle Mountain War Division!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but laugh. It was a situation with more monks than porridge, he had not expected this to be the state of affairs in the Dragon Fall Territory.

"Chief!" At this moment, the Grand Elder Tie Wen, who had been listening attentively to the side, stood up to salute and address Xiao Chen.

"Currently, our Gu Yuan Tribe has relocated to the Dragon Fall Territory. The most crucial issue is where we should settle, establish our territory, and rebuild our tribe. After all, only with a solid foundation can our Gu Yuan Tribe stop being adrift like a leaf in clear water!"

"Moreover, the Dragon Fall Ridge has had little contact with the outer Giant Stone Valley for many years. Although we do not know the reason, our Gu Yuan Tribe of 200,000 people suddenly appearing in the Dragon Fall Ridge would certainly raise some defenses from the other human war tribes in the Dragon Fall Ridge!"

Silence descended upon the entire tent. After a while, Xiao Chen finally spoke, "Since we have three days, I’ll personally explore Dragon Fall Ridge. With the Sky Horse as my companion, I believe it won’t take too long to survey most of the Dragon Fall Ridge. I’ll find a place with abundant Heaven and Earth’s Vital Energy for the tribe, so that we can establish a solid foundation!"

At the words of the Grand Elder, Xiao Chen was awakened from his thoughts. He had been so focused on escaping from the supremacist of the Iron Hoof War Division and restoring his strength that he had forgotten about how to settle the tribe at the Dragon Fall Ridge. Fortunately, even though they had already arrived at Dragon Fall Ridge, it was not yet too late!

"I will definitely return in two days. In my absence, the safety of the tribe lies in your hands, and all tribal affairs shall be presided over by the Grand Elder!"

"Yes!"

As everyone dispersed, Xiao Chen dismissed Lin Cai Er’s thoughts of following him into Dragon Fall Ridge and mounted the Sky Horse.

Whoosh!

The golden wings of the Sky Horse slowly flapped. In a heartbeat, its position shifted like stars moving across the sky. In a few breaths, when the Sky Horse was hovering in mid-air, Xiao Chen was already at the mountain cliff gap. The intense wind carried an endless evil spirt, constantly invading his body, seeming to penetrate every pore.

ps. Yesterday, I was too late to release a special update for Uncle Daoban’s reward, so I’m making up for it today. Also, today is Monday, so I’m asking for votes.
