Chapter 534: Chapter 520: Kneel Down Apologize for the Provocation!_1

The second day.

As the trading location for the entire Giant Stone Valley, it became extremely bustling right after dawn. Particularly now, with the appearance of the Spiritual Wood, countless warriors flocked into the ancient city, making it even more turbulent.

Within the ancient city, warriors were constantly weaving through the streets. Some of the warriors had come from far away, hoping to trade what they held in Duanmu City. After all, the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood was a distant dream for people like them from the lower division clans.

Regardless, for the ordinary people of the Great Wasteland, life had to continue. Beneath the city’s apparent prosperity was unspoken chaos.

In a food pavilion on the west side of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, two elders sat before a stone table. In front of them were some finewine and meat, which were medicinal meals cooked from two-star beasts mixed with some treasure medicines.

One of the elders picked up a pot of medicinal meal in front of him. Its aroma was like light smoke, the thick soup was as white as warm jade, and it quickly entered his belly.

"Blood mushrooms stewed from two-star wild oxen. It’s been a long time since I last tasted those. However, the beast and medicine used are of a too low grade. It’s also not properly cooked, and they didn’t even use the abdomen meat where the Blood Qi is richest. It’s barely edible,"

the elder complained, wiping his mouth after finishing the medicinal meal.

Hearing the elder’s complaint, the elder opposite chuckled and said, "Brother Nanfeng, this is a remote place after all, with scarce resources and backward martial arts levels. You can’t expect decent medicinal meals here. Next time when you visit my Profound Clear War Tribe, I’ll surely let you taste a medicinal meal made from a three-star wild ox."

"Of course, if Brother Nanfeng is willing to join our Profound Clear War Tribe, our tribal leader has prepared a vacant elder position for you."

These two warriors were Elder Xuan Lie of the high-grade Profound Clear War Tribe, and another elder, named Nanfeng Lihen, a famous wanderer of the Border Wasteland Region. His power was on par with Xuan Lie, who was also a warrior in the fourth-grade Towering Realm.

Being attracted by the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood, he came to the Giant Stone Valley this time. As a wanderer, he knew he wouldn’t necessarily be an opponent of the higher-grade tribes. He was not here to obtain the whole Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood. He merely wanted a Thunder Spirit Leaf. That’s why he could sit together with Xuan Lie.

"Elder Xuan, I am accustomed to a leisurely life. The elders of your tribe are all powerful. I don’t deserve the position,"

Nanfeng Lihen politely refused the invitation from Profound Clear, then changed the topic and said, "Elder Xuan, with that Gu Yuan Tribe blade of yours, you must be extremely confident of conquering them."

Seeing that Nanfeng Lihen refused his invitation again, a cold light flashed briefly in Xuan Lie’s eyes before disappearing. The most important thing right now was the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood. He would have plenty of time to deal with Nanfeng Lihen’s refusal later.

More importantly, since Nanfeng Lihen was a warrior at the same level as himself, he would be a significant help in fighting for the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood. As long as he could control the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood, what harm would it do to give him a Thunder Spirit Leaf?

"I heard that five years ago, Xiao Chen managed to escape from the owner of Ling Xi Mountain. Furthermore, with the help of the Heavenly Horse, he escaped from a Venerable’s hands. Although the Ice Frost Venerable did not go all out, how could a warrior who could escape from a Venerable be underestimated?"

"Brother Nanfeng, you’re too cautious and you think too highly of the Gu Yuan Tribe and Xiao Chen. Although the strength of the master of Ling Xi Mountain rivals that of high-grade war tribes, Brother Nanfeng, you should know the gap between wanderers and war tribes."

"Besides, the master of Ling Xi Mountain can hardly withstand a hundred moves in my hands. Five years ago, Xiao Chen used all his strength to resist the attack of the master of Ling Xi Mountain. Even if his tribe carries the fate of a high-quality tribe, he can only be on par with my Profound Clear War Tribe. He will never be my opponent."

"The Gu Yuan Tribe are the true local bullies here. Subduing them completely and making use of them would greatly aid in finding the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood. I gave them three days to consider, to notify the tribal leader of the Gu Yuan Tribe behind them through the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. If Xiao Chen understands the situation, it would be better. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being courteous!"

As soon as his words fell, Xuan Lie grabbed a pot and gulped down all the medicinal meals in it. Then he said, "Although the ingredients are of poor quality, this medicinal meal satiates my appetite."

"Brother Nanfeng, please continue to taste the meals. I will be right back after subduing the insignificant Gu Yuan Tribe. I believe it won’t take a long time."

Soon after that, Xuan Lie’s figure slowly vanished from the food pavilion, leaving only an afterimage. His real body had already taken off towards the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

In this way, with no intention of hiding, Xuan Lie’s figure had been discovered by the many warriors in Duanmu City in a mere moment.

"Walking in the void, merging with heaven and earth, this is a great warrior of Towering Realm. He is heading towards the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. What is he going to do? You must know that the Treasure Gathering Pavilion is the territory of the mid-grade Gu Yuan Tribe Battle Division, also guarded by a great warrior of the Towering Realm!"

"Brother, you just came to Duanmu City, didn’t you?"

Soon, someone mocked, "This elder is no ordinary person but a true powerhouse. He is from a high-grade war tribe. Even Gu Yuan Tribe’s clan leader Xiao Chen in person may not be his match."

What!

"He’s actually a big figure from a high-grade war tribe. It seems that the fight today is already decided."

In the hearts of many warriors, although the Gu Yuan Tribe was powerful, they were only a mid-grade war tribe. Facing a high-grade war tribe presented not only a gap in tribe level but also a gap in tribal foundation. Perhaps the Gu Yuan Tribe might become a high-grade war tribe in the future, but definitely not now.

"Xiao Chen, where are you? I, your tribal elder, know that you have come to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. Will you surrender or be destroyed? You only have one chance. Think carefully. Otherwise, don’t blame me, your elder, for being ruthless!"

Suddenly, a voice boomed out of the void, causing countless people to be stunned. Some warriors who didn’t know the details were even more frightened. Who could possess such power to publicly call out the name of the clan leader of the mid-grade Gu Yuan Tribe?

There he stood, the figure of Xuanqing Ling Kong, ominously floating on the void in front of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, making no attempt to hide his intentions, the look in his eyes reeked of arrogance.

A quarter of an hour passed. The Treasure Gathering Pavilion remained eerily silent, not showing the slightest sign of revival. Even the two Blood Refining Realm Warriors guarding the entrance ignored him completely as if an elder from the Superior Xuanqing War Tribe was of no importance.

"Xiao Chen, do you really think remaining silent will make this go away?"

Inside the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, within the five-story great hall, Xiao Chen, Shi Ya, and Grandma Hua studied the rising and intimidating Xuanqing. Xiao Chen appeared indifferent, showing no concern for Xuanqing, while Shi Ya and the others looked visibly upset.

"Clan Leader, this fellow from the Xuanqing War Tribe is too overbearing. He has the audacity to call you out by name. I shall capture him," Shi Ya said angrily. Although he sensed that the man outside was a notch above him, he was confident enough to face him.

"Such impudence! Does everyone from the Xuanqing Tribe have so little shame, to rely on their age and prestige? Our clan leader is not someone a doddering old fool can demand to see!"

What?!

Damn it!

The words uttered within the Treasure Gathering Pavilion incensed Xuanqing.

"Xiao Chen, do you know what your underlings are doing? No matter how much you might have thrived in this remote, barren land, at the core, you remain unrefined. Arrogance comes with a price. Even if you’ve garnered superior good fortune, to me, you’re just another tribe in the remote wasteland," Xuanqing retorted irritably.

"If you are going to be a coward, don’t blame me for not being considerate. Just because the Gu Yuan Clan stumbled upon a bit of luck, they fancy themselves superior to the grand tribes. Clearly, the Gu Yuan Clan needs a sensible person to lead them."

With his Combat Qi surging around him, Xuanqing already had murderous intent. Initially, he merely wanted to subjugate the Gu Yuan Tribe and use their strength to find the Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Wood. His plan now was to behead Xiao Chen and install someone loyal to the Xuanqing War Tribe as Clan Leader.

He would infiltrate the Gu Yuan Tribe with his own members and gradually loosen its unity. Although the Human Ancestral Court publicly prohibited major war tribes from causing discord, fostering puppet tribes in secret was a common tactic among superior war tribes. In no time, another mid-ranking war tribe would fall under the Xuanqing War Tribe’s control.

Moreover, the Gu Yuan Clan was fortunate enough to carry superior luck. This meant that within a few hundred years, they would have a superior war tribe submitting to the Xuanqing War Tribe. By then, even if they were not as strong as the Bai Ze Marquis Division, they would still hold a dominant position among the superior war tribes in the Border Wasteland Region.

"What are you planning?"

A green silhouette appeared. Xiao Chen showed up on the top of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, looking at Ling Kong, who stood arrogantly in the air.

"Finally found the courage to come out? Unfortunately, it’s too late."

Once his mind was made up, despite Xiao Chen’s appearance, the glint of murderous intent flashed in Xuanqing’s eyes. He couldn’t sense Xiao Chen’s aura but was certain Xiao Chen was no match for him.

"Kneel, the weight of a superior war tribe is not something a fledgling tribe, such as yours, can resist!"

With these words, an imposing aura descended upon Xiao Chen.

"Kneel down?"

A smirk played at the corners of Xiao Chen’s mouth. Then he said nonchalantly, "Okay, then kneel it is!"

Bang!

In an instant, Xiao Chen extended a palm that looked as if it was made of azure-gold. It solidified into a hand, swinging towards Xuanqing.

"Damn it!"

Seeing Xiao Chen acting first enraged Xuanqing. His Combat Qi fluctuated, but the next moment he felt his entire body freezing in the void, with even his Combat Qi locked within.

"No!"

A massive Combat Qi palm struck Xuanqing’s body.

Spurt!

Blood splattered. The Xuanqing, who had once considered himself invincible, was slapped straight into the ground.

What’s more, his once-standing legs bent, pointing towards Xiao Chen as he knelt down!
