Chapter 416: 403

Mist and fog swirled in the Cloud Sea, obscuring any sign of human activity. Seven figures stood scattered around - they were in the deepest part of the Cloud Sea Plateau, an area inaccessible to average warriors. Only those with great power could bypass the Cloud Beasts’ confrontations and reach this place.

It was said that the myriad of Primal Energies of Heaven and Earth manifested as clouds in the Cloud Sea, which also served as food for the Cloud Beasts. Warriors seeking to absorb these clouds are essentially competing for food with the Cloud Beasts, resulting in inevitable brutal battles.

For a moment, none of the seven spoke. Their silence lingered, seven of them were the most powerful forces in the Dragon Fall Territory, holding the reins of power.

The chieftains of the five tribes, two rangers, besides the famous Qiu Niu of Turtle Mountain and the Yushui Tribe, there were Nianhua and Yuan Mountain - two Human War Tribe. These two tribes were once inconspicuous due to not being true Human War Tribes, but the other tribes dared not underestimate them in the slightest.

"Excellent! The five tribes and two rangers haven’t gathered for decades. Today, everyone who has come here are the strongest in Dragon Fall Ridge. You all have been summoned by me, the chieftain, for a specific reason that I believe you are all aware of."

Finally, Ao Kui, the chieftain of the Turtle Mountain War Division, launched the conversation. As the most powerful Human War Tribe in the Dragon Fall Territory for thousands of years, his clan had always been dominating.

"Ha, ha, Ao Kui, you cunning trickster. You called everyone together for the matter of the Gu Yuan Tribe establishing the Yuan tribe, didn’t you? Once again, you want a human tribe or a lone ranger to charge for your Turtle Mountain War Division while you gain benefits behind the scenes. For hundreds of years, you have done so many things to maintain the position of your Turtle Mountain War Division in Dragon Fall Ridge!"

Shou Yun Tian, a maverick ranger, sneered sarcastically. His wild aura continually oppressing the surrounding clouds.

"Humph, I am a ranger. My Boundless Mountain is merely a place where human rangers gather. Although it has been thriving over the years, with countless rangers and even War Masters emerging, the so-called establishment of a Yuan tribe has nothing to do with my Boundless Mountain. Although we rangers lead a free life, Boundless Mountain has not established a clan or tribe. Even if the Gu Yuan Clan establishes the Yuan Tribe, which can grant territories to clans, it can’t restrict us!"

For this reason, Shou Yun Tian was strongly against the underhanded deeds committed by these tribes over the past thousands of years to maintain their tribe’s prestige.

"I, Sword Island, also will not participate in this matter of Gu Yuan Tribe setting up the Yuan Tribe. Dragon Fall Ridge has not had a Yuan Tribe in nearly ten thousand years. You major tribes have made the area smoky and chaotic. If it weren’t for the human predecessors holding you back, your tribes would have gone unchecked. The Great Wasteland needs constant reproduction and Dragon Fall Ridge is ready for some changes!"

Jian Wuying was a practitioner of swordsmanship, which embodied the principles of upright and sincere conduct. He was reluctant to participate in Ao Kui’s plan to deal with the Gu Yuan Tribe.

He had devoted his life to mastering the art of the sword. At the age of five, he was taken as a disciple by a powerful ranger from Sword Island. After ten years of carrying the sword, he began practicing the sword technique. Ten years ago, he inherited the position of Sword Island Master from the previous master. His heart only cared for the sword, not interested in anything else.

"Humph, Jian Wuying, Shou Yun Tian, the path of destiny is one of the most mysterious forces between heaven and earth. It is full of changes. A Yuan tribe can attract the destiny of a racial group. As the masters of a mountain and an island respectively, you can’t possibly not know this, right? Moreover, the impact of the establishment of a Yuan tribe is not only significant for our major tribes but also significant for you rangers!"

The muscular man of the Qiu Niu tribe gave a resentful glance at Shou Yun Tian and Jian Wuying. He was very angry at their indifference and sneered.

"You two rangers shouldn’t forget that not only does a Yuan Tribe have the rights to distribute territories to vassal clans, but it also has the rights to summon all rangers in its influence for expeditions into the Great Wasteland. When the time comes, if the Yuan Tribe issues an imperial decree to summon rangers into service to fight against foreign races, won’t you be losing your men’s lives in vain!"

"Indeed, the establishment of this Yuan Tribe can potentially change the existing balance of the whole Dragon Fall Ridge, which had been sustained for thousands of years. It is a matter directly affecting us. Dragon Fall Territory is vast, but it’s only a speck within the Great Wasteland. The total size of the entire territory is only equivalent to a medium-sized war division. If the Gu Yuan Tribe grows, all the human tribes in the Dragon Fall Territory would have to submit to them!"

"By that time, even if we join forces, can we resist the heavenly power of the entire human race? Won’t we have to bow down and accept our fate as vassals, paying tribute year after year, commanded by their decree, fighting battles in the Great Wasteland and offering our tribal destiny to this so-called great tribe?"

The middle-aged man from the Yushui tribe echoed their concerns, continuously underlining the threat that the establishment of the Gu Yuan Tribe’s Yuan Tribe posed to numerous tribal divisions across Dragon Fall Ridge. This threat, like maggots on bones, was something none could afford to ignore.

They had already investigated the origins of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Regardless of its past, over the past tens of thousands of years, the number of outside tribes moving into their territory was small, but there were one or two every century. These tribes, upon entering Dragon Fall Territory, either lay low or immediately presented spirit medicine and mine veins to them, praying for the safety of their tribe.

But, this Gu Yuan Tribe, barely appeared, and they had immediately eradicated the Demon Remnants that had rampaged for a thousand years. Before the dust had even settled, they sprouted intentions of establishing the Yuan Tribe. This was an overwhelming threat.

They, who were kings and founders of the Dragon Fall Ridge, enjoyed superior status. Countless tribes across the territory had to read their faces, controlling the fate of thousands of human tribes - the tribes would perish if they wished it so. No tribe dared to resist.

If a shackle suddenly appeared over their heads, there’s no way they would accept it.

This was a challenge to their authority!

Because they understood the power of controlling other tribes, they particularly did not want one day to be under someone else’s control, having to rely on another’s whims to survive. This was absolutely unacceptable!

There was only one solution - overthrow Gu Yuan, execute every last one of them!
