Legendary Clan Chief
Chapter 478 - 463

Chapter 478: 463

Since Xiao Chen and his companion entered the Nianhua Tribe, they had been given the cold shoulder. Even in the entire pavilion, there wasn’t a single maidservant.

However, Xiao Chen could sense that outside the pavilion, among the flower bushes, groups of women were gathered together, continuously pointing at him and glaring angrily. Even without deliberately listening to their conversations, Xiao Chen knew that they were grinding their teeth at him, wishing they could drive him out of the Nianhua Tribe.

As a clan leader, Xiao Chen wouldn’t stoop to squabble with these girls. Moreover, in Xiao Chen’s view, it wouldn’t be long before all the members of the Nianhua Battle Division would become part of his Gu Yuan Tribe. Dealing with his own tribespeople wouldn’t be a problem.

On the other hand, Shi Ya appeared even more puzzled. It seemed that the whole tribe harbored intense hostility towards his arrival!

Xiao Chen was not in a hurry. He simply sat and admired the lotus flowers in the pond. Shi Ya looked up to Xiao Chen and would not take any action without his command. Thus, the two of them sat in the pavilion, waiting till the sunset was about to fall.

Thump thump thump!

A flurry of footsteps could finally be heard from outside. At this point, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but laugh. Regardless of which era or space, women always had a little temper. Every action of Lady Nianhua was under his control. Annoyed but with nowhere to vent, she had left him out here almost the whole day, while she kept observing him from a stone house nearby. But Xiao Chen did not expose this.

"I always thought Xiao Clan Leader was a man of courage. Who would have expected him to be so timid, even bringing backup this time. This is truly an eye-opener!"

Before they entered, a voice filled with mockery reached the ears of Xiao Chen and the others. Then, Lady Nianhua, Xue Li, and an elderly woman entered the pavilion.

On seeing the three of them, Shi Ya wanted to greet Xue Li, but saw that she was fully armored. Clad in fiery red armor, with a bronze ax as large as herself slung over her shoulder, her face was cold. Ignoring Shi Ya’s friendliness, she closely followed Lady Nianhua.

Shi Ya then touched his temple, wondering why Xue Li was not responding to him. Had they grown apart after not seeing each other for a few days?

Seeing Shi Ya’s baffled expression, Xiao Chen smiled a little. Ever since Xue Li went to the Gu Yuan Battle Division and met Shi Ya, there had always been something unusual. The usually easy-going Shi Ya had started to act coy. Noticing such a situation, Xiao Chen asked Shi Ya to accompany him to the Nianhua Tribe this time.

Sitting opposite to Xiao Chen, Lady Nianhua was still in her black robe. Despite her attempt to conceal her frustration and project a cold demeanor, her charming face still had a trace of coyness.

"Lady Nianhua, three days have passed. I wonder if the Lady has made her decision!"

Xiao Chen looked at the three of them. Seeing Lady Nianhua and the other two glaring at him in silence, Xiao Chen finally spoke out.

At this moment, Xiao Chen understood that the Nianhua Battle Division had succumbed to his threat. Under the formidable influence of the Gu Yuan Clan, the Nianhua Battle Division had no choice but to submit. Except for fleeing the Dragon Fall Territory, they had no other choice. But they knew very well that even if they tried to escape, Xiao Chen would not let them go.

"I dare not! I dare not call myself a clan leader. Xiao Clan Leader can still address me as Nianhua. The sisters of the Nianhua Tribe will be counting on you, Clan Leader, to look after us in the future!"

Nianhua’s tone was filled with frustration. Although she didn’t answer Xiao Chen’s question directly, it expressed the decision of the Nianhua Tribe!

The Nianhua Battle Division had completely submitted!

Three days ago, Xiao Chen had bluntly proposed to annex the entire Nianhua Battle Division, which plunged the Nianhua Tribe into panic. After holding continuous consultations with the tribe elders for an entire day, they realized that faced with Xiao Chen’s intimidating force, they had no choice but to merge into the Gu Yuan Tribe.

"Lady Nianhua is very sensible indeed. The Gu Yuan Battle Division is no den of monsters—it’s just that in this desolate wilderness, one must continue to become stronger in order to survive. For the weaker ones, depending on the strong ones is also a survival rule!"

"Clan Leader Xiao is right. Compared to the Gu Yuan Battle Division, the Nianhua Tribe is weaker. Moreover, the tribe is mostly women. However, Clan Leader Xiao, don’t assume that just because we are women, we can be easily bullied and manipulated at your whim!"

At this moment, the elderly woman next to Nianhua spoke. Despite her age, her voice was firm, indicating that she was a courageous woman in her youth.

The old woman was the former clan leader of the Nianhua Tribe. This time, she reappeared as the tribe was facing a crisis, striving for some benefits for the members. Even if the fate of their tribe being annexed was sealed, she still wanted to work for the best interests of her people.

"Rest assured, Xiao Chen is not a ruthless villain. There’s still decency and conscience in me. As the Nianhua Tribe joins the Gu Yuan Battle Division, the female members of your tribe will not be forced into marrying. The choice of marriage is up to them. Men from my tribe are also not allowed to force them. Those who violate the rules will be punished by the clan. To put it simply, if a man from my tribe wants to marry a beautiful woman, he has to display his ability! I wonder what Old Clan Leader thinks of this!"

Xiao Chen paused, then continued, "These words lack evidence. I, Xiao Mou, am willing to swear a martial oath and let the many members of the clan bear witness!"

"Good!"

Seeing that Xiao Chen had formally agreed, the old woman nodded in satisfaction. Getting Xiao Chen to promise not to force the women of their tribe into marrying the warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe was beyond her expectation. Even Nianhua next to her couldn’t help but look at Xiao Chen. She hadn’t expected Xiao Chen to make such a decision.

"Clan Leader Xiao, besides this, I have another concern. There are tens of thousands of members in the Nianhua Battle Division. How can we ensure that they won’t be bullied after all of them join the Gu Yuan Tribe at once, especially considering that most of them are women! Otherwise, I won’t be at peace!"

"I wonder what the Old Clan Leader has in mind!"

Seeing the Nianhua Clan submit to Gu Yuan, Xiao Chen was in a good mood at this moment. He acquiesced to the demands made by the Nianhua Tribe. After all, with the Nianhua Tribe merging into Gu Yuan, it would become an internal matter for the Gu Yuan Tribe!

"Marriage Alliance!"

"Marriage Alliance?"

"Correct!" The old woman nodded and said, "After all, the Nianhua Tribe is a tribe with tens of thousands of members. If we merge into the Gu Yuan Tribe all at once, there might be some unrest among our people. Besides, for the sake of the future treatment of the members of the Nianhua Tribe in the Gu Yuan Tribe, a marriage alliance would be the best solution."

"Moreover, with a marital bond, our people can also settle down in a short time. I wonder what Clan Leader Xiao thinks about this!"

"The tribe leader has exactly the same intention!"

As Xiao Chen glanced at the old woman, he was surprised to find that the former Nianhua Tribe leader had the same thought as him. Xiao Chen had brought Shi Ya with him today specifically for the matter of the marriage alliance. The lifetime events for his siblings were coincidentally handled together, which would also stabilize the hearts of the Nianhua Tribe, killing two birds with one stone.

"This brother Shi Ya, who grew up with me, is now an elder of the Gu Yuan Battle Division. His affection for Miss Xue Li is mutual. Today, as the tribe leader, I seek to arrange a marriage on his behalf!"

"Not long ago, Shi Ya overcame the heavenly tribulation and advanced to the Martial Arts Towering Realm, creating an incredible eight-grade Martial Arts Heavy Tower!"

What!

Not only were the Nianhua tribespeople stunned, but Shi Ya was also surprised. He did not expect that he was summoned by the tribe leader today for his own lifelong matter. Despite his laid-back demeanor on ordinary days, this rough man also has a delicate side.

Ever since Xue Li had gone to the Gu Yuan Tribe, Shi Ya had been like a lost soul.

The opposite side’s Nianhua and the former tribe leader, however, looked at Shi Ya with surprise, never expecting that such a simple-looking youth possesses such strength, making him an excellent match for Xue Li.

Looking at the young maiden Xue Li, who at this moment blushed with embarrassment and dared not lift her head to see people, the old woman, who had gone through all this herself, could not fail to understand the thoughts of this young girl!

"Moreover, Shi Ya is the fifth generation inheritor of the divine weapon, the Earth-shaking Hammer!"

Seeing the old woman somewhat surprised, Xiao Chen curled the corner of his mouth, uttering another sentence.

A son-in-law of this caliber would be hard to find even with a lantern in the Desolate Wilds. Not to mention their low-ranking Battle Division, even top-tier Battle Divisions would love to welcome Shi Ya into their clans if he were willing. The daughters of those top-tier Battle Divisions would be at his disposal to choose from!

"Good!"

After a while, as everyone’s thoughts settled, the old woman decisively shifted the topic, "However, although Xue Li has some prestige in the clan, it is far from sufficient!"

"Xiao Tribe Leader is still unmarried, right!"

Before Xiao Chen could react, the old woman continued, "Nianhua is a leader of a clan, and all the clan members are obedient and trust her. The marriage that I propose is between Nianhua and you, Xiao Tribe leader!"

What!

At this moment, Xiao Chen was on the verge of losing his composure. This was not right. How could everything turn out to be about him?

He glanced at Nianhua across from him who also appeared surprised by the old woman’s words. It seemed that this had been a last-minute decision by the old woman.

"Master!"

A blush flashed across Nianhua’s face. Although she was the leader of a clan, she was merely an ordinary woman when it came to matters of her own marriage.

"Hush!" Signaling Nianhua not to say anything further, the old woman said, "Xiao Tribe Leader, this is the bottom line for me. Ever since the founding of the Nianhua Battle Division, all the successive leaders had remained unmarried for their entire lives. Now that Nianhua’s tribe will no longer exist, this rule can be done away with. In the desolate wilds, it is not a misfortune for a woman to be able to seek shelter under a powerful warrior. Nianhua has had a tough life these years, and as her master, I also need to think about her future!"

"Master, can you.....!"

"Enough!"

"Xiao Tribe Leader, this is my bottom line!"

This is when Xiao Chen was completely flabbergasted!

The central area of the Dragon Fall Territory.

Ever since Xiao Chen issued the order of exchanging the lives of warriors from tribes like Turtle Mountain and others for the Martial Arts Great Pill, the War Masters of the affiliated War Divisions had finally shown their tusks to their former overlord, under the stimulus of benefits.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

This is a squad of War Masters formed by an affiliated War Division, all of whom were warriors who had reached the complete Bone-Tempering Realm or above, among them three were even Blood Refining Realm Warriors.

Boom!

The Combat Qi ran rampant, and within moments, the only two remaining centurion warriors of the besieging circle were successively beheaded!

"Quickly clean up the battlefield, sever these people’s heads, and let’s return before it gets dark!"

"Today’s harvest is good. Combined, we can already trade for a Martial Arts Great Pill!"

At sunset, the earth shook, and the war soldiers disappeared, leaving only the nearly a hundred headless corpses scattered across the ground.
