Chapter 492: Chapter 477: Plunder Resources, Establish Power in front of the City!_1

Boom!

From within a gigantic manor in Duanmu City, shouts of battle echoed.

The grand manor encompassed a street hundreds of feet long. The formidable and intimidating beast statues that had once stood proudly before its gates were now shattered and sprawling on the ground. A dozen warriors huddled helplessly in front of the gates. Their once vibrant auras dulled to a feeble whisper. Their martial abilities were entirely crushed.

The towering stone gate that stood thirty feet tall, with four linked openings, had disintegrated entirely. The stone plaque with the two characters "Iron Hoof" etched on it had fallen to the ground.

Half an hour later, Xiao Chen emerged from the manor. His expression was as indifferent as ever, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation.

After leaving the Four Corners Pavilion, Xiao Chen headed directly to the Iron Hoof Tribe’s manor in Duanmu City. The manor was a branch office of Iron Hoof City located in Giant Stone Valley. Its primary function was to collect tributes from all the human warrior tribes under the jurisdiction of Giant Stone Valley.

In merely half an hour, Xiao Chen had annihilated the Iron Hoof Manor; a place everyone in Duanmu City had treated with the utmost respect. Perhaps, it was the formidable reputation of the Iron Hoof Battle Division that bestowed the manager of this manor, who was a Martial Artist in the late phase of the Blood Refining Realm, with supreme authority over Duanmu City, akin to a retired emperor.

At this moment, the manager had been slain by Xiao Chen, and countless other martial artists had their martial abilities shattered. In this primitive wilderness, without their martial skills, their futures would undoubtedly be bleak.

Of course, Xiao Chen did not act solely out of anger. Yet, the destruction was due to this manor being a hub for the Iron Hoof Battle Division. The collection point for tributes from the individual human tribe’s divisions, within the Giant Stone Valley, resulted in an occurrence. Each year, certain human warrior tribes without the qualifications to pay homage to Iron Hoof City, would collectively present their tributes at this manor.

Fortunately, the tributes collected this year hadn’t yet been transported to Iron Hoof City. Moreover, the Iron Hoof Tribe, due to heavy losses, increased the amount of tribute from each subordinate division. All of this benefited Xiao Chen.

Upon learning this news from Tie Wen, Xiao Chen had made up his mind to seize these resources. As for the Iron Hoof Battle Division, they were already his enemy, so Xiao Chen had no reservations.

Elemental Stone Veins, Beast Bone Treasure Blood, Exotic Fruits, Spirit Treasures - the combined resources from various divisions within the Giant Stone Valley - amounted to approximately over 400,000 lower-grade elemental stones, not to mention many others. At this moment, everything had been collected by the Iron Hoof Battle Division, benefiting Xiao Chen.

An hour later, at the Manor of the Treasure Elephant Army.

Similar to the previous scenario, the Manor of the Dominant Tribe within the Giant Stone Valley had been transformed into ruins. This was yet another subordinate division of the Blue Mountain Tribe established within Duanmu City. The exotic treasures acquired by various ronin warriors within the city were all stored within this manor.

From within the Blue Mountain Tribe’s manor, Xiao Chen didn’t obtain many Elemental Stones. However, he did manage to acquire numerous herbs, high-grade Casting Material Ores and even a piece of Spirit Material, Black Gold, capable of forging weapons for Martial Artists of the Towering Realm.

Although it was only the size of a fist, when merged with other Spirit Materials, it would be enough to create three spiritual implements. Just this little piece was worth no less than 100,000 lower-grade elemental stones. This was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Originally, Xiao Chen had planned to visit the Shadow Forest Tribe to meet an old friend, the young tribal chief of the Shadow Forest War Division. Unfortunately, they were not in Duanmu City at the moment, so he had to postpone it.

The fall of the Iron Hoof Manor and the Treasure Elephant Manor sent shockwaves of disbelief throughout Duanmu City. All the warriors exclaimed, "Has Xiao Chen really gone mad!?"

After offending the Iron Hoof Battle Division, not only did he not hide, but Xiao Chen also caused such an uproar and sought revenge openly. He overestimated himself greatly; didn’t he know that the human warrior tribes he had offended were rushing to Duanmu City to crush him to dust!

There were those who mocked, those who watched coldly, and in the taverns and streets of Duanmu City, the atmosphere was tense. Some curious people even went to the destroyed manors of the Iron Hoof and Treasure Elephant Tribes to get a first-hand view.

Inside the Gu Yuan Tribe’s shop.

Upon Xiao Chen’s arrival, Tie Wen gradually let down his guard. His demeanor eased, and he no longer appeared so uptight. Presently, he had once again opened up a heavenly meridian, advancing to the intermediate level of the Blood Refining Realm Mid-Stage.

"Chief, as Duanmu City is the trading hub of the entire Giant Stone Valley and connects with the valleys beyond, this shop served as a cover for our identities in the past and provided a resting place for our brothers. In the future, if it is to be used as a branch of our tribe here, it would be too small. Why not buy all the surrounding shops to extend and use them as the sub-branches of our tribe in the entire Giant Stone Valley? Once the news of our Gu Yuan Tribe being promoted to a Middle Rank Battle Division spreads throughout the Great Wasteland, nobody will dare lay a finger on this place!"

"Very well!"

Xiao Chen agreed wholeheartedly with Tie Wen’s opinions. Now that the Gu Yuan Tribe has been promoted to a Middle Rank Battle Division, they could no longer appear impoverished. This represented the strength of the tribe. If they wished to root their tribe within the Giant Stone Valley and gather resources, they would first have to establish their reputation.

As for how to purchase the surrounding shops, he didn’t need to worry about that. What he needed to do was to amplify the reputation of the Gu Yuan Tribe, deter the entire Giant Stone Valley, and demonstrate the strength of the tribe.

In the end, Xiao Chen handed over all the resources he’d collected from the Iron Hoof Manor to Tie Wen. The Gu Yuan Tribe didn’t need the common medicinal herbs and beast blood from the Great Wasteland; they needed exotic fruits and high-quality Casting Material Ore Veins. They needed to spend a large amount of Elemental Stones, but they still needed to make some common transactions.

Even, Xiao Chen thought about selling some of the pills produced by the tribe to accumulate a large amount of Elemental Stones for the tribe in a short period. Of course, all of this was still just speculation.

The following day, in front of the Duanmu City Gate.

"Xiao Chen, you dare to appear! The Shang State by virtue and righteousness refrained from sending troops to annihilate the remnants of your Gu Yuan Tribe, and yet you have not learned your lesson. You obliterated the residence of the envoy of the Shang State War Division and even looted all the tributes offered by our tribes. Your crimes are monstrous. Will you surrender willingly!"

"Xiao Chen, you have killed innocents. Months ago, you slaughtered over ten thousand of our human race warriors. You are bloodthirsty and insane, ignoring our human race. Today, you’ve caused tremendous disaster in Duanmu City. If you don’t kneel and atone for your sins with your life..."

Xiao Chen, months ago, you killed hundreds of warriors from my Blue Mountain Tribe. Today, the chief of the Blue Mountain Combat Clan has challenged you to a duel. Will you dare to stay and face the warriors from my Blue Mountain Tribe!"

"Gentlemen, I believe Xiao Chen is possessed by a demon. We must capture him and wait for the Shang State Battle Division to come and handle him!"

Even though they were saying this, a group of martial artists gathered in front of Xiao Chen, looking at one another. No one wanted to be the first to provoke him. Xiao Chen’s infamy had spread throughout the entire Giant Stone Valley since a few months ago.

Wielding a single lance, he swept across tens of thousands of human race warriors. Even tens of thousands of wild boars could not be slaughtered so easily, let alone 30,000 human race warriors. Singlehandedly, he massacred tens of thousands of warriors before escaping. They didn’t want to follow the same path.

A bunch of disorderly rabble.

This was Xiao Chen’s assessment of the many warriors in front of him. Even if some people were warned, the warriors of the Human Tribe couldn’t get to Duanmu City in a single day.

The warriors in front of him were merely stalling, trying to keep him in Duanmu City until more warriors from the Human War Tribe arrived to capture him.

As Xiao Chen expected, these warriors were trying to delay him. After all, his strength had been validated by the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of people. They didn’t want to test him with their lives at stake.

Roar!

A dragon’s roar echoed throughout the Vault of Heaven; the winged celestial horse gently touched the earth, leapt into the void above.

"He’s trying to escape!"

"Xiao Chen’s running away! Stop him quickly!"

However, amidst the people’s clamor, Xiao Chen was motionless in the void, looking down at the slightly chaotic warriors.

Boom!

The next moment, Xiao Chen unleashed his full power of the second-tier peak of the Towering Realm. The land for several miles around seemed to be caught in a whirlpool of Combat Qi.

Spit! Spit! Spit!

The warriors who were once vociferously dominant suddenly choked, their voices abruptly cut off. Struck as if by a lightning bolt, they spat out blood and flew backward, their faces as pale as paper.

High above, radiance bloomed, creating an image of a war god in Cyan Armor.

"How is this possible!"

With anguished cries, everyone blankly gazed at the void. If they couldn’t figure it out now, they must be idiots.

"Massive Tower Realm Wu Experts, this is the aura of Massive Tower Realm Wu Experts!"

Finally, someone stood up and exclaimed in shock. His body retreated rapidly, falling to the ground after a few steps, seriously injured by the violent energy flow.

Xiao Chen had actually become a Massive Tower Realm Wu Expert.

A Massive Tower Realm Wu Expert, one who is on the same level as the Chieftain of the Iron Hoof War Division. At this moment, they finally understood why Xiao Chen had returned. He was here for revenge.

As a Massive Tower Realm Wu Expert and with the celestial horse beside him, even the Iron Hoof War Division had to consider the cost of making Xiao Chen their enemy.

They were hasty to deliver themselves to death; they must be tired of living!

Evil spirit possession, revenge, justice—all these things became a joke in the face of the Towering Realm’s power. They were simply no match.

What they need to think about now is how they should act in the face of the current Xiao Chen, in order to protect their tribes.

"You want to stop this chieftain!"

At this moment, in the void, Xiao Chen’s words fell like the reaper’s scythe into the ears of many warriors.

"No...no...no, sir, we...we..."

At this moment, Xiao Chen had no intention of killing these warriors. Even in the Iron Hoof Treasure Elephant Manor, he had only killed a few stewards.

"Who was right and who was wrong a few months ago, this chieftain will seek justice at the Iron Hoof Tribe!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

At Xiao Chen’s words, many warriors hurriedly nodded their heads, their hearts filled with disbelief. After all, Xiao Chen’s promotion to the Towering Realm was a huge deal for them.

But for the Iron Hoof War Division, it only meant that Xiao Chen had earned the right to be taken seriously. They are eager for Xiao Chen to confront the Iron Hoof War Division and have a big fight!

Of course, Xiao Chen saw through their insincerity and added, "What, don’t you believe me!"

At Xiao Chen’s words, everyone once again turned into shrinking turtles.

"Humph! My Gu Yuan War Division has now advanced to the middle-grade War Division. What can the Iron Hoof do to me!"

What!

Mid-grade War Division!
