Chapter 426: Chapter 412 Decay!_1

The extreme eastern region of the Dragon Fall Territory.

This place is an endless range of ancient mountains, each mountain reaching thousands of feet tall, towering impressively. From within the desolate ancient forest, there emitted continuous, low-pitched growls.

In the encirclement of mountains, there was a mere, humble ancient mountain, taking up a territory of about ten miles in radius. Yet, this mountain range possessed a strangely peaceful atmosphere. In the heart of this foreboding hunting ground known as the desolate mountain forest, it felt bizarrely serene. Even ferocious beasts, when they approached this ancient mountain, would consciously leave the area.

Below the ancient mountain was an understated valley. A thatched cottage sat by a clear, glittering lake. Next to the hut, an old man was fishing. Using a bamboo pole as his rod, silkworm thread as his line, and an azure bird feather as his float, he sat unmoving upon a Qing stone by the waterfront. It seemed as if the old man had fallen deep into slumber.

By the elder’s side, a pile of firewood roared to life. Propped up on it was a pot crafted of white jade stone. A subtle mist rose from it, and under the dim light, the jade pot seemed to be radiating a glow that was wholly not glaring.

Suddenly!

A majestic bird’s cry echoed through the Vault of the Sky. In the blink of an eye, in the distant horizon, a huge azure bird flew towards the mountain.

The bird’s flight stirred up a fierce wind, shaking the surrounding mighty ancient trees. However, the gust was unable to advance past ten feet near the old man, and even the rippling waves on the glittering lake were unable to flutter because of the azure bird’s powerful aura.

A young man leaped from the azure bird. He couldn’t have been more than thirty years old. Dressed in a snow-white robe, he emitted an aura that reached the limit level of the Blood Refining Realm.

The warrior hopped off the back of the azure bird, gently patted its massive head, and the next moment, the immense azure bird spread its wings and soared into the sky.

The warrior’s footsteps were very light as if he were an ordinary mortal. As he was approaching the old man, he slowed down his pace, revealing a hint of a smile on his face.

The old man seemed indifferent to the young man’s presence, his eyes still firmly fixed on the lake’s surface. Underneath the water, several shadows were swimming about.

The old man didn’t emit any kind of aura, making him seem like a normal human of the Great Wasteland. Exuding a gentle air, he seemed to effortlessly calm the initially hurried-looking young warrior.

"Got a bite!"

All of a sudden, the old man’s slightly closed eyes brightened. The silkworm thread fishing line tightened and a foot and a chunk of gold broke the water surface and landed on the shore.

This golden fish species was also an exotic one in the Great Wasteland. Its body was completely covered in golden scales as if made of pure gold, shining brightly under the sunlight. It even had dragon whiskers, and its light golden eyes were crystal-clear and dazzling. Even once cast ashore, it was still struggling fiercely. Its slender tail flipped up and down, slamming against the earth, creating a thunderous beat like a war drum.

Upon seeing the golden fish on the shore, the old man turned towards the young warrior. Smiling, he said, "You lad, every time you return from a trip you arrive just in time. Half of all the delightful food I catch gets wasted by you. Did you thoroughly investigate this time when you went out?"

The old man handed the golden fish to the young warrior, gesturing for him to clean the fish properly in preparation for cooking.

The young warrior, rather unbothered by the old man’s chiding, received the golden fish. In his hand appeared a half-foot-long iron knife. He skillfully gutted the golden fish, an act with which he seemed quite familiar.

"Master, as you commanded, I travelled to the borders of our land, to the ruins of the Human Ancient City. The rumors circulating in the Great Wasteland are true. There is indeed a Human War Tribe which has occupied this Feng Shui treasure land. They have vanquished the original demon tribes almost completely and wish to establish their own kingdom and mobilize their qi."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing his apprentice’s words, the old man’s murky eyes flickered. He did not say a word but continued to listen to the young man narrate.

"Master, I also happened to see from a distance that this Human War Tribe has built a new city on the site of the ancient human city. They even erected a platform to worship the heavens. This Human War Tribe is truly aspiring to introduce destiny into their tribe. It has been tens of thousands of years since a destiny tribe has appeared in the Dragon Fall Territory. This will undoubtedly disrupt the power structure of the human race in the Dragon Fall Territory that has been unbroken for thousands of years!"

"What’s more, I have also observed several major tribes from afar, including two nomadic forces led by individuals meeting secretly. They are discussing how to deal with this Human Tribe. However, there seems to be dissent among these major forces. This will surely make things interesting. These tribes have acted arrogantly within my Dragon Fall Territory. The children of these tribes are also extremely overbearing. It will be good to see them fight against each other"

The young warrior seemed to have no good feelings for these tribes and was tinged with indifference in his words.

Whilst speaking, the young warrior had thoroughly prepared the golden fish. The pale gold fish meat was sliced into thin pieces akin to cicada wings and put into the white jade stone pot.

"Tell me, what do you think their chances are of dealing with this human tribe?"

"I can’t be sure of that, master. The major human war tribes in Dragon Fall Territory have been proliferating for five thousand years and have influence all over the territory, like makeshift emperors. I don’t know what kind of trump cards they could have. But that human tribe seems quite strong as well. From within the tribe, I could feel a few presences similar to mine, and even in some cases, stronger. Despite riding on the azure bird, soaring above the tribe from ten miles away, I was almost discovered by the warriors of this tribe."

Adding some more ancient wood to the bottom of the white jade pot, the young warrior expressed his confusion and annoyance saying, "Master, why have you suddenly become interested in the fate of these tribes? These Human Tribes are all ungrateful wolves. If it wasn’t for you guarding this eastern territory, repelling the three-star beast deep in Dragon Fall Mountain Range and preventing other forces outside the territory from invading, these tribes would have either been wiped out by the beasts or forcibly annexed by the forces outside the territory. They not only take all of this for granted but also become increasingly arrogant. In my opinion, it’s best if they end up mutually damaging each other!"

Upon hearing the complaints of his apprentice, the old man couldn’t help but flash a bitter smile. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, clearly regarding the other Human War Tribes of Dragon Fall Valley.

However, this hint of disappointment flashed by so quickly that he didn’t let his apprentice see it. Instead, he lightly slapped his apprentice’s head.

"Fengyu, over these years, I’ve let you roam around various parts of the Dragon Fall Territory for practice. What are your thoughts regarding the other Human War Tribes in the Dragon Fall Territory?"

The words of the old man caused the young warrior’s hands to slightly hesitate. Only then did he add a handful of wood to the fire beneath the jade pot.

"Decadent!"
