Chapter 745: Chapter 731: The New Crisis and the Transfer of the Divine Weapon!_1

A respected monster bearing the bloodline of the Golden Winged Dapeng Monster King had fallen!

Blood and flesh splattered in all directions, but the next moment, it seemed to coagulate in the void. In the blink of an eye, the sky filled with a blood mist pulled the flesh and blood of the Monster Peng back together again, merging it into a pool of crimson. It was then completely absorbed by the colossal warship.

Buzz!

Having absorbed the blood and bone of a Monster Lord, the huge Void Warship let out a humming sound in an instant that echoed throughout the entire void world. Above the green light shield, a layer of blood-colored haze floated, which quickly dissipated into nothingness.

"Set sail, let’s return to the tribe!" After killing the Monster Lord, Shi Ya glanced at the depths of the void and at the small world’s outline that had appeared above the endless River of Realm, and then issued an order to his subordinates.

"Yes!"

Along with Shi Ya’s command, in the void world, above the River of Realm, the colossal warship, like a mammoth beast, pierced the void with its huge horn in an instant and the void shattered, and the warship headed toward the Desolate Land.

...

Gu Yuan Tribe, Xiao Chen had just calmed down his youngest disciple Zi Yuan, dissuading the little girl from leaving the tribe, bouncing around to search for her own senior sister. Yet, before he had time to catch his breath, the Grand Elder and the Third Elder hastily arrived.

"What urgent matter brings both elders here?" Xiao Chen immediately asked seriously.

"Chief, we just received the news. Five days ago, the mid-grade Ting Que War Division was annihilated, with nearly a million members of their tribe slaughtered by the exotic clan!" After a modest salute, the Grand Elder brought alarming news from the Border Wasteland.

Boom!

The teacup in front of Xiao Chen instantly turned into powder. Another Human mid-grade Battle Division was wiped out, and their tribe was entirely extinct. In reality, in these three years, the Ting Que War Division was not the first tribe to be annihilated by the exotic tribe.

Despite the Human Ancestral Court’s orders mandating the mobilization of the entire Border Wasteland, it was still inevitably unable to attend to every matter. In these three years, five mid-grade Battle Divisions had been annihilated by the hands of the exotic tribe, and the top-tier Zilun Combat Department had not been spared either, with millions of Human Bloodline brutally slaughtered!

"Chief, at present, our Gu Yuan Tribe has accepted the imperial command to patrol and hunt in the southwestern million-mile territory of the Border Wasteland, and thus protect tens of millions of Human Bloodlines. This responsibility is enormously heavy. A single mishap could lead to disaster. However, with the current strength of our Gu Yuan Tribe, it is difficult to maintain such a vast expanse!"

As the tribe’s Grand Elder, he would never have dreamed of the Gu Yuan Tribe gaining such strength back in the old days. However, at this moment, the Grand Elder’s face was serious, filled with intense worry.

"Chief, the Grand Elder is right. For our Gu Yuan Tribe to maintain stability over the million-mile territory and to prevent the exotic tribe from invading, the price we have paid is unimaginable. If this continues, the foundation that our tribe has accumulated over the years could be exhausted, and even the tribe itself could collapse!" The Third Elder, Xiao Tan, likewise displayed a hint of concern.

Xiao Chen remained silent, indicating for the Third Elder to continue.

"Chief, in just these three years, our Gu Yuan Tribe has lost seventeen Towering Realm Martial Artists, among which the strongest reached the fourth level of the Towering Realm."

"Nearly twenty thousand Blood Refining Realm soldiers have fallen, or been heavily injured and had to retire." As an internal affairs elder, he was responsible for calculating tribe’s expenditure, population, and number of Warriors.

In these three years, the entire Eastern Wasteland had tumbled into an era of turmoil, let alone the Gu Yuan Tribe located at the brink of the Border Wasteland. Xiao Chen had deployed the Battle Array Masters of the tribe to carry out conquests in the Great Wasteland. After a series of bloody battles, even with the advantage of the war formation, losses were inevitable. Life and death were inevitable in such heated battles. Despite Xiao Chen’s current strength, he was incapable of ensuring every tribe member’s safety.

"While some of the Towering Realm Martial Artists that were lost were strong ones won over from wanderers, they could still be considered as the backbone of our Gu Yuan Tribe. What’s more, half of them were old people who had progressed from our Gu Yuan Tribe."

Xiao Chen nodded slightly. After each conquest, the casualty status of the warriors in the tribe would be reported to him. This was just about his Gu Yuan Tribe, let alone the losses suffered by the other Human Battle Divisions in this million-mile territory.

Passive defense though, always had its inevitable loopholes, and an all-around defense was full of loopholes. This was an unchanging principle. Fortunately, the revered veterans in the tribe had not suffered any losses. The pinnacle combat prowess remained undamaged. However, how long could this situation last? As the Void River became increasingly stable, more exotic tribe strong ones crossed the realm. The Human-defensive scheme, albeit seemingly balanced yet full of holes, could hold out for how long?

"This is just the number of Warriors lost. In these three years, our tribe’s Air Warships have been ordered to patrol the Human Realm. While their performances have been splendid, killing more than ten revered beings from the exotic tribe and countless survivors of the exotic clan, the resources consumed have been astronomical!"

After a pause, the Third Elder continued, "In this three years, the ten Air Warships have consumed more than 500 lower-grade spirit stones, 2,000 top-grade elemental stones, and 50,000 high-grade elemental stones!"

As for killing an exotic tribe revered being, this was achieved based on substantial resource consumption. Without these elemental stones and spirit crystals as energy, those Air Warships would be a heap of discarded metal that couldn’t be moved. The Elemental Stone Cannons would be mere props.

Take that semi-royal ship for instance, every time it was started, it needed 100 lower-grade spirit stones. And this was only to maintain ordinary cruising. If it entered the Cave Heaven World, the consumption would double. And this didn’t even factor in the warship’s various weaponry, which consumed elemental stone energy.

Even the most common Flame Magma Cannons of the fire attribute required a hundred elemental stones’ worth of energy every time they were fired. In other words, you fight wars using resources. With this kind of consumption, even the current Gu Yuan Tribe was strained to sustain it. Bear in mind, this was even after the Gu Yuan Tribe had traded elixirs with other War Divisions, and earned a large number of high-grade elemental stones.

"Therefore, I propose the Chief to issue an order to again reduce the number of Air Warships deployed and cut down the number of warships patrolling!"

The third elder once again requested to Xiao Chen, in fact, only half of the current ten Void Battleships were actually out for hunting, and now, under great consumption, the third elder had to seek permission again to reduce the number of patrolling warships.

"No!" But the next moment, Xiao Chen promptly refused the proposal of the third elder.

"The consumption of spirit stones is small, the safety of our human bloodline is vital. It’s already hard enough to patrol the million miles of land with only half the fleet, if we decrease the number of battleships, other tribes will seize the opportunity!"

"But, Tribe Chief!"

Xiao Chen interrupted the third elder with a wave of his hand, then continued: "Elder, I know what you want to say. It’s not just about the orders from the Ancestral Court to the Tribe Chief. Now, the exotic tribes in my human world are rampaging, acting all high and mighty. We must suppress them. As for the spirit stones, I, the tribe chief, will handle that."

"I’ll personally go to the Human Ancestral Court for help. Our Gu Yuan Tribe’s warriors have been fighting blood-soaked battles. The myriad resources accumulated by the Ancestral Court over the years should be put to use now!"

Thinking of the reserves of spirit stones in the Ancestral Treasury, which were as vast as a mountain range, a strange light flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes.

"Also, Grand Elder, deliver my orders to Iron Hoof, Blue Mountain, Red Bear, Yue Ge, Maple Forest, Moonfall, and Snow Iron, the seven Medium-grade Battle Divisions, and the Top-grade Maple Battle Unit. Ten days from now, invite the tribe chiefs of several tribes to gather at our Gu Yuan Tribe to discuss important matters!"

Just like the last imperial command issued to the Ancestral Court, this time, with the issuance of the orders from the Ancestral Court, the defensive territory of the Gu Yuan Tribe expanded to reach a range of a million miles. The tribes under their command numbered eight, with tens of millions of human bloodline.

"Yes!" Hearing this, the two elders bowed and agreed, then left the courtyard.

Watching the two elders walk away, Xiao Chen was momentarily lost in thought before finally shaking himself out of it, turning to his wife, Nianhua.

"My lord, what’s the matter?"

"You’re right. The power of our Gu Yuan Tribe is too dispersed now. The respected powers in the tribe have been sent by me to guard other places. They can easily be conquered one by one by the exotic tribes. If we gather all the different divisions into one, the combined force should be much more formidable than when they’re scattered!" Holding his wife’s hand lightly, Xiao Chen uttered softly.

Just then, Xiao Chen’s face tightened slightly before expressing joy. He patted Nianhua’s hand and said, "Qing Er has emerged!"

Mu Qing had been in seclusion in the Cave Heaven Medicine Garden inside the Mountain River Seal. The safest place in the entire Gu Yuan Tribe was actually inside Xiao Chen’s Mountain and River Seal Dongtian World.

Soon, Xiao Chen and Nianhua flashed into the Cave Heaven Medicine Garden within the Mountain River Seal.

Mu Qing now ranks among the dignitaries, even at the pinnacle of the middle stage of dignitaries. The King’s bloodline within her was increasing in potency.

"Qing Er, how do you feel?"

Mu Qing, just awakening from her retreat, seemed a bit bewildered. The purple and green blood lotus mark on her forehead, however, was becoming increasingly strange.

"My lord!"

A moment later, Mu Qing woke up, looking at Xiao Chen and Nianhua with worried expressions and smiled.

"My lord, sister Nianhua, I’m fine."

"Congratulations, sister, for yet another advancement in your strength!" Nianhua lightly hugged Mu Qing’s arm and spoke with a hint of envy. Although Nianhua’s progress in power wasn’t slow over these two years, it was definitely overshadowed in comparison to Mu Qing!

Buzz!

At this moment, Mu Qing gently pulled away from Nianhua’s hand. A grand purple mist burst forth from her forehead, condensing into a series of purple-green ancient runes. In her hands, a purple divine sword floated.

In a flash, the ancient purple letters on her forehead seemed to detach themselves from Mu Qing and congregated on the purple divine sword.

"Qing Er, what are you...!" Xiao Chen instantly understood Mu Qing’s intention.

"My lord, this Inheriting Divine Weapon Purple Snake Sword is not particularly necessary for me anymore. Why not hand it over to sister Nianhua!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. With the rapid advancement in Mu Qing’s power and the king’s bloodline hidden within her reverting to its ancestor, the Inheriting Divine Weapon Purple Snake Sword didn’t particularly benefit her anymore. Passing it to others would be perfect.
