Chapter 419: Chapter 406 Decisions of Several Major Forces_1

The moon hung high, its light like water, making the Great Wasteland seem enveloped in darkness. Yet deep within the Cloud Sea Plateau, a different scene was unfolding.

The clusters of invisible clouds during the day were now emitting a soft radiance, transforming this landscape of the Cloud Sea Plateau into a site of luminous beauty, although the brightness could not rival the midday sun.

In the center of the sea of clouds, seven figures reformed, still in the same positions as during daylight, each perfectly still as if sculpted from stone.

It seemed their dispute over the Gu Yuan Clan’s proposal to establish a new tribe had not yet resulted in a unified resolution, resulting in a deadlock.

"Humph! We’re just talking about countering the Gu Yuan tribe’s ambition to establish a new tribe. If it comes down to a fight, my Yushui tribe surely won’t falter. If the Gu Yuan tribe, like any other in the Great Wasteland, had just immigrated from the Outer World to our Dragon Fall Ridge and wanted to establish a new tribe, we would have just let it be. After all, even though my Dragon Fall Territory might seem a speck in the vastness of the Great Wasteland, it’s still more than enough to accommodate one more Human War Tribe. However, their intentions of taking control of Dragon Fall Valley and even aiming to make my Yushui Battle Division its vassal are simply overstepping their bounds,"

The middle-aged man of the Yushui tribe, usually mild-mannered, spoke with a hint of cold indifference. His voice carried an unmistakable note of ruthlessness.

Over the years, although the strength of the Yushui tribe has waned slightly, it still stands strong alongside the Turtle Mountain Battle Division and Qiu Niu Battle Division. But as Yu Guang Bo, their chieftain, knows all too well, there is a long road ahead for the tribe. The development of the Yushui tribe over the past few centuries, though steady, is still far from measuring up to the Turtle Mountain and Qiu Niu tribes.

Not to mention, two major tribes, Yuan Mountain and Nianhua, are rapidly catching up. Even the growing sagenesswork tribe established in Boundless Mountain and Sword Island are not far behind the Yushui Battle Division.

This time, the Gu Yuan Clan’s migration from the Outer World’s Giant Stone Valley to the Dragon Fall Territory, along with their ambition to establish a new dynasty, has prompted Yu Guang Bo to project an image of strength and restore the reputation of the Yushui Battle Division within the Dragon Fall Territory. This is also the reason why he is quick to express his opposition to the Gu Yuan Tribe.

However, currently present here are seven individuals, each representing one of the top powers of Dragon Fall Ridge. The aforementioned statement was just one side of the story, given by the Yushui Battle Division. It didn’t represent the consensus of all, as some had their disagreements. If it were not for these disagreements, they would not have spent so much time here.

Among the seven, the three old powers of the Turtle Mountain Battle Division, the Qiu Niu Battle Division, and the Yushui Battle Division, were the most determined to remove the Gu Yuan Clan. The remaining two tribes and the two wandering forces, Sword Island and Boundless Mountain, had made it clear from the beginning that they did not wish to participate in this matter.

The first three powers have been established for at least five thousand years and have ruled over the Dragon Fall Territory for a long time. They are unwilling to suddenly find themselves under the yoke of the Gu Yuan Clan.

As for the other two tribes and two sagenesswork powers, they represent a more recent development. Of these, the Nianhua Tribe, the youngest having been established merely a thousand years ago, possesses the power to become a premium war tribe, attracting the attention of the three old powers.

As for the Yuan Mountain Battle Division, it was established by a Towering Realm Great Venerable two thousand years ago. It is said to offer its members the cultivation techniques passed down by the art invincible, making it an unparalleled temptation for aspiring Martial Artists.

"Chief of Yuan Mountain, if the Gu Yuan Tribe did manage to establish its power, they will inevitably look to expand their tribal strength. Geographically speaking, your Yuan Mountain Battle Division is the closest to the Gu Yuan Tribe. When the Gu Yuan start to expand, your division will be the first to feel the impact. Being subjugated as vassals or whether they will be friendly allies remains unknown. After all, to bring tribes under their influence they can simply select a puppet from among thousands of tribesmen who will obey their orders. When it comes to the position of chief, anyone could take it over. Chief of Yuan Mountain, would you be willing to give up your position?"

Out of the blue, the chief of the Turtle Mountain Tribe glanced at the seemingly weakest chief of Yuan Mountain Tribe and asked this loaded question.

It was clear that out of the seven, only the chiefs of the Yuan Mountain and Nianhua Tribes had not expressed their intentions. The Turtle Mountain chief was pressurizing them to pick sides.

"You...."

The tribe member from Yuan Mountain Tribe, shrouded within the clouds, quivered intensely, clearly not pleased with the situation.

After what felt like an eternity, he made a cold huff and retorted, "I don’t need your concern, Chief of Turtle Mountain. The current state of my Yuan Mountain division is thanks to your tribe’s ’generosity’ over the years. If the Gu Yuan tribe really has the ability to establish a dynasty, that would be fated, and even the heavens’ will. It is against our principles to go against the heavens."

Compared to the Gu Yuan tribe establishing its own tribe, the chief of the Yuan Mountain Battle Division’s anger was directed more towards the Turtle Mountain Battle Division. The Yuan Mountain tribe was a tribe established by a Towering Realm Master. The cultivation techniques practiced within the tribe were the Mysterious Stone Energy, passed down and recorded in martial art classics, aiming at the Towering Realm.

For the past thousands of years, the Turtle Mountain tribe was obsessed with this martial arts technique and had been suppressing the Yuan Mountain tribe relentlessly. Otherwise, how could the Yuan Mountain tribe have fallen so low?

Now, the Turtle Mountain tribe wanted to use the Yuan Mountain tribe as cannon fodder, but he wasn’t about to dive into troubled waters. If a tribe had the capacity to establish a dynasty, it wouldn’t be as simple as they thought.

Seeing the Yuan Mountain Tribe’s refusal yet again, a flash of anger passed through the Turtle Mountain chief’s eyes before he hid it, shifting his gaze towards the only female among them.

"When my Nianhua tribe was first established, our ancestors instructed us to serve as a place of refuge for homeless women and children, especially those who suffered from tribal calamities in the Great Wasteland. We’ve always been less involved in the affairs between tribes in the Dragon Fall Territory. On this matter, with the Gu Yuan tribe’s ambitious plan of establishing a new tribal dynasty and your intentions of taking them down, my Nianhua Battle Division will remain neutral."

As the sinister intentions hidden within the Turtle Mountain tribe chief’s gaze were revealed, the Nianhua Tribe chief, Xue Ying, maintained her composure and slowly voiced her statement.

Each of the seven members had finally expressed their stances. With the determination to eradicate the Gu Yuan tribe, the three old powers of the Dragon Fall Territory - the Turtle Mountain, Qiu Niu, and Yushui tribes - were unwilling to give the Gu Yuan tribe any opportunities to grow. Meanwhile, the remaining two tribes and the two sagenesswork powers decided to stay neutral.

In the end, the seven went their separate ways.
