Chapter 539: Chapter 525: Life-saving Spirit Medicine, Rumored News!_1

The cold voice echoed throughout the ancient city, reaching the ears of every warrior.

What!

People from various tribes were taken aback, never expecting that after Xuan Yue had conceded, Xiao Chen would still not let them go. Suddenly, the atmosphere became eerie, and an unseen pressure filled the air, leaving many warriors gasping with rapid breaths!

A glint of anger flashed through Xuan Yue’s eyes, and he stopped abruptly. He turned around to face Xiao Chen once again and said: "I wonder if Xiao Clan Leader has more to say, or is it that he truly deems his strength unfettered!"

Two Towering Realm warriors of the fifth heavenly level clashed. This was not merely a clash of Combat Qi, but a psychological warfare operating directly on one’s soul. Some strong warriors with deep spiritual will felt the pressure more keenly.

"Arrogant and domineering, is this the tradition of your Profound Clear War Tribe? To reap what you have sown, the rights and wrongs of this matter are known to everyone. Since your Profound Clear War Tribe sees itself as a superior power and regards the Gu Yuan Tribe as nothing more than a remote and insignificant clan, I will show them audacity!"

Xiao Chen was completely unfazed by the anger-filled gaze of Xuan Yue and Xuan Lie. Compared to Xuan Yue’s brooding demeanor and hidden murderous intent, Xuan Lie’s rage and endless humiliation were not of concern.

However, Xuan Yue being a clan leader proved to be a challenging opponent. Those who schemed heavily were always difficult to deal with.

"Since you dared to offend the Gu Yuan Clan, if I, as the clan leader, did not possess some strength, I fear our Gu Yuan Tribe would have been destroyed long ago. You think you can walk away unscathed for you are superior? Have you not found these years in the Great Wasteland laughable?"

"I wonder how Clan Leader Xiao plans to resolve this matter!"

Fighting down the anger in his heart, Xuan Yue furrowed his brows. He was not accustomed to Xiao Chen’s aggressive stance.

This left those who were familiar with Clan Leader Xuan Yue’s personality shocked. Not only the Profound Clear War Tribe, but none of the top-ranking Battle Divisions in the Border Wasteland Region acted in this manner. As a powerful tribe dominating a vast region in the Border Wasteland, aside from Bai Ze Marquis Division, these battle divisions were unconstrained.

The current situation was indeed due to an encounter with a force of equal strength, putting more pressure on oneself and reluctant to engage in a petty fight, hence making a humble submission.

"Those who offend the Gu Yuan Tribe are captives of the Gu Yuan. Either leave their lives behind or redeem themselves!"

Xiao Chen was very direct. He glanced at Xuan Lie below and casually said: "Even if we are dealing with an upper-grade War Division, we, the Gu Yuan Tribe, are not afraid now. Five years of lying dormant has given the Gu Yuan Tribe the qualification to face the upper-grade War Division directly."

"How do we redeem!" In his eyes flashed a hint of brilliance, before disappearing instantly. After a pause, Xuan Yue continued to ask.

"Clan Leader!"

"Step back, those who lose must pay the price!"

Xuan Yue reprimanded him coldly, causing Xuan Lie to tremble. His eyes were full of resentment, his color ashen. For Clan Leader to redeem him today was a massive humiliation he would bear all his life. Even the Clan Leader had backed down, filling him with unprecedented humiliation.

At this moment, he understood that his clan leader was truly livid. An upper-grade Battle Division had to submit to a middle-grade Battle Division. Even though this middle-grade Battle Division was carrying the luck of an upper-grade division, it could not make up for the fact that the prestige of their Profound Clear War Division had been damaged.

"You shouldn’t feel humiliated, to bully the weak, to deem oneself an upper-grade clan, and act recklessly, really thinking that the Great Wasteland was under your Profound Clear War Division’s rule. You are alive because you’re not weak. The Border Wasteland is now ravaged by aliens, so we have kept useful bodies, to suppress the aliens!"

"You!"

Xiao Chen’s words left Xuan Lie’s face shaky, but he didn’t dare to speak out due to his clan leader’s intimidation. After all, in his view, Xiao Chen, despite his impressive strength, was still a younger generation person, and being lectured by youngsters was like slapping his face.

"I wonder what Clan Leader Xiao’s ransom demands are."

Taking a deep breath, Xuan Yue held back the depression in his heart and asked.

"Per the rules of The Great Wasteland, a treasure of the same level as the captive warrior."

"Fine!"

After a moment, Xuan Yue’s eyes flashed with resolution. He raised his hand and a Jade Box flew from his body into Xiao Chen’s hands.

The Jade Box automatically opened, revealing three green, sword-shaped herbs that glowed like jade, and exuded a sea-green brilliant light, from which an invisible spiritual power seeped.

"Sword Spirit Grass!"

"A spiritual medicine that enhances a warrior’s spiritual will, is particularly beneficial for warriors in the Towering Realm, and can even help them break through their shackles and bring their spiritual will up by a small realm."

"Such spiritual medicine, which can enhance spiritual will, has become particularly valuable in the Great Wasteland. It can only be found in some rarely visited dangerous locations or secret realms, making it an extremely rare kind of spiritual medicine."

Many were amazed, looking at the three spirit medicines only half a foot long in Xiao Chen’s hand. To their surprise, Xuan Yue had offered up the three spirit grasses, that had an immense benefit to one’s spirit, as ransom for the tribal elder’s life.

Xuan Lie was seething with rage, Xuan Yue’s face pale, with strands of aura vibrating around him. He was constantly suppressing the raging combat Qi within his body and sternly said, "I hope Clan Leader Xiao can continue to demonstrate such dominance in the future. Goodbye!"

Having said that, Xuan Yue turned and left for the outskirts of the ancient city, clearly not intending to stay in Duanmu City any longer. After all, this time the Profound Clear War Tribe had lost not only their men but also their dignity. Their opponent was merely a medium-grade tribe that had just been promoted a few years ago. With their reputation greatly damaged, Xuan Lie followed Xuan Yue and left the city.

With the disgraced retreat of the Profound Clear War Tribe, the reputation of the Gu Yuan Tribe in the Giant Stone Valley was soaring, even surpassing the original medium-grade Iron Hoof War Division. After all, this land was far from the central area of the Border Wasteland Region, and had always been looked down upon by other Great Wasteland warriors. Xiao Chen’s resistance against the assault of the high-grade war division has dispelled any contempt from the warriors of other regions.

The next day.

Qiu Hu returned and appeared in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

"Greetings, Clan Leader!"

With a savage aura that carried a hint of the ferocity of a ferocious beast, Qiu Hu was still bare-chested and wearing a tiger skin cape, which was now of a three-star Crimson Flame Tiger.

"Were you able to find out anything about the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood?"

"Reporting to Clan Leader, there was no news about the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood. Some warriors have rumored that the Spirit Wood has once again stirred the power of the earth veins, heading towards the depths of Dragon Fall Mountain Range."

"Rumors?"

Upon hearing that, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but sigh. Such celestial and earthly spiritual root, possessing intense spirituality, could lead numerous warriors on a chase through the depths of the Great Wasteland for half a year. Capturing it wouldn’t be easy.

"Were there other unusual situations?"

"Yes, Clan Leader, the last time the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood appeared, it was in the Soul Burial Ancient Land, fifty thousand miles away from the Dragon Fall Mountain Range. Apart from some tribal strong ones, there were rumors that a venerable one had made a move."

Seeing a hint of brilliance in Xiao Chen’s eyes, the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood was a celestial and earthly spiritual root, carrying the spirituality of heaven and earth, seizing the creation of heaven and earth, and only after countless years it could develop spirituality.

Such a rarity would even tempt venerable ones. However, with venerable ones making a move, it would be even more difficult to snatch it from them.

"I also heard another rumor."

"Oh?" Seeing Qiu Hu’s hesitation, Xiao Chen gestured for him to continue.

"This was mentioned by a martial elder of a middle-ranking war division. During the last appearance of the Spirit Wood in the Soul Burial Valley, he was one of the witnesses. According to him, a venerable one had torn through the void that day, intending to directly subdue the Spirit Wood with the force of thunder. However, it was evaded by the Spirit Wood as it escaped deeper into the Dragon Fall Mountain Range."

"Based on the direction given by this elder, I deduced that the location into which the Spirit Wood has moved lies precisely within the eastern region of our Dragon Fall Territory."

At this point, everyone exchanged glances, all seeing a look of astonishment. The Dragon Fall Territory was originally a part of the Giant Stone Valley, which later separated due to certain events. Both places were basins surrounded by the Dragon Fall Mountain Range.

The Dragon Fall Ridge was located in the south of the Giant Stone Valley. When both regions were combined, they formed a north-to-south strip of land. If the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood had appeared in the eastern region of the Giant Stone Valley and were to escape deeper into the Dragon Fall Mountain Range, it would inevitably reach the eastern region of the Dragon Fall Territory - possibly even heading towards the deeper parts of the mountain range.

If this were the case, the entire Dragon Fall Territory would be swarmed by numerous martial artists like the Giant Stone Valley. Tribal conflicts would undoubtedly ensue, causing chaos. This was something they had to guard against, considering that the Dragon Fall Territory was the foundation of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Damage to this land would be detrimental for them.

After a long silence, Xiao Chen’s eyes flickered with determination as he said, "Elder Qiu Hu, you should return to the tribe and inform the Grand Elder to prepare for this. Even if we have managed to suppress the Profound Clear War Tribe for now, we are still vulnerable against a swarm of wolves. The mighty pressure from countless martial artists of the war divisions is something our Gu Yuan Tribe will not be able to withstand."

"Convey an imperial command to our tributary war divisions. In case there are strong ones arriving, they do not need to resist, to avoid unnecessary losses. The Gu Yuan Tribe will not blame them afterward."

"Inform the Grand Elder to open the clan treasury and transport the top-grade spirit stone onto the Void Battleship to supply energy for the Battleship Yuan Stone Cannon. However, unless absolutely necessary, we must not expose the warship."

In one corner of the Gu Yuan Tribe’s territory, inside a short mountain about several dozen zhang high, a hollowed-out space housed a Void Battleship.

Although the Gu Yuan Tribe has yet to find a top-grade spirit stone to power the battleship, about one-fifth of a top-grade spirit stone remained on the Spirit Gathering Array Disk within the ship’s power room, along with several lower-grade spirit crystals.

Although the celestial and earthly vital energy contained within it was a thousand or ten thousand times that of a medium-grade spirit stone, Xiao Chen had not extracted it for cultivation, saving it for a pressing need.

With these remaining spirit stone and spirit crystals, the battleship may not be able to enter the void, but it should be capable of ordinary aerial navigation, and even raising a defense shield, as for the Battleship Yuan Stone Cannon, sufficient top-grade spirit stones were available. The Gu Yuan Tribe had stored tens of thousands of them over the years.
