Legendary Clan Chief
Chapter 81 - 81 80 Rush Back to the Tribe_1

81: Chapter 80: Rush Back to the Tribe_1 81: Chapter 80: Rush Back to the Tribe_1 “As the clan leader, I shall share hardships with my people in times of crisis.

I cannot abandon them!”

His resounding voice echoed throughout the street, stirring up countless people around him.

All passed their gaze to the middle of the road where a lone and not-so-broad figure stood.

His thin figure couldn’t overshadow his upright spine.

“Clan Leader Xiao, think carefully.

The Martial Arts Exchange event is just around the corner.

With your skills, you could clinch fame in the Giant Stone Valley and even spread your name throughout the Iron Hoof Territory, thereby bolstering your credibility for the future struggle for the top list.”

“Brother Xiao, I have learned about the Gu Yuan Clan’s predicament through your young clan member.

Since things have already happened, even if you return immediately, you need more than ten days.

This period will undoubtedly be delayed.

Why not stay in Duanmu City for a few days and attend the Exchange event before leaving?”

Upon hearing that Xiao Chen made the decision to rush back to his tribe immediately, people started discussing in surprise.

In particular, Ying Jie found it hard to understand Xiao’s decision.

He had learned from Tie Wen about the Gu Yuan Clan crisis.

He knew that a large number of Gu Yuan people had been taken away by other tribes.

This is what he could not understand.

As a part of tribe’s upper class, in the eyes of power holders, the lives of ordinary tribespeople are insignificant.

They could be sacrificed whenever necessary.

A man for himself, God for us all.

Just like the previous Black Mountain Tribe, the Clan Leader abandoned the entire tribe for his selfish desires.

After all, as long as they were powerful, other scattered tribesmen would flock to join them.

They wouldn’t worry about the number of tribe members.

To them, the people are just a number.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen, being a Tribe Chief, was so different.

He was willing to give up his opportunity to make a name for himself, which was just around the corner.

As long as Xiao Chen’s strength is extraordinary, the scattered tribes in the Great Wasteland would compete to join him.

Despite the persuasion of Ying Jie and others, Xiao Chen’s attitude didn’t soften.

The matters of the Gu Yuan Tribe may have already been deeply imprinted in his soul leading him to empathise with all the trials and tribulations the people were currently going through.

Being someone from a prosperous era, he could not trample on people’s lives so casually.

“Thanks to Brother Ying for your kind intentions, but as the leader of a tribe, I am committed to the Gu Yuan Clan.

As the hope of over ten thousand tribal men and being entrusted with the historical mission by the ancestors, I must not let down the Gu Yan Clan.”

Seeing Xiao Chen’s firm decision, Ying Jie eventually conceded and had to rethink his plans.

He was hoping that the Martial Arts Exchange event at the Giant Stone Valley would hinder Xiao Chen’s departure since foreign warriors were coming to cause trouble.

However, seeing Xiao Chen’s firm attitude, he didn’t try to stop him any longer.

He knew that the great cause he advocated wouldn’t do any good to change Xiao Chen’s mind.

Any further obstruction would only result in the two parting on bad terms.

“Thank you, Brother Ying, for your hospitality over the past two days.

However, I do have something to ask of you.

These two injured tribesmen have been severely wounded, and I hope you can take good care of them,” said Xiao Chen, his gaze accidentally or purposefully landing on Xiang Tian who stood nearby.

“Hmph, they are just lowly refugees.

We, the Xiang Clan, don’t have the time to deal with them.

I suggest you rush back to pick a nice burial spot for your Gu Yuan Clan, because the Life and Death Battle Stage would be the end of Gu Yuan,” Xiang Tian said, his words as cold as the wind.

He believed that his Xiang Clan could easily defeat the entire Gu Yuan Clan.

“And let me remind you, don’t forget the time for the Life and Death Battle Stage or your whole clan will be spat upon by the whole Great Wasteland haha!”

“Hmph!

No need for your concern, our mighty Gu Yuan Clan adheres to the Ancient Human Clan Covenant, and we will be there on time.

As for who the victor will be is unknown.” In response to Xiang Tian’s mockery, Xiao Chen certainly fought back.

This agreement with the Life and Death Battle Stage was a premeditated plan in Xiao Chen’s mind.

In two years’ time, the Gu Yuan Tribe might have the ability to challenge the Xiang Clan.

Witnessing the development to such a stage, the people sighed incessantly.

In their opinion, Xiao Chen’s actions like drinking poison to quench thirst, killed a Blood Refining Realm Warrior from Xiang Clan, and caused a disaster.

The agreement on the Life and Death Battle Stage was part of the Xiang Clan’s plan, intending to wipe out the entire Gu Yuan Clan in one go.

But Xiao Chen, who killed a Blood Refining Realm Warrior without fearing death for his tribesmen, was admired by all.

Everyone desired a clan leader who could sacrifice himself for his people.

In a little while, the crowd on the street dispersed.

Xiao Chen escorted Lin Shan and two other men into the manor of the Shadow Forest Tribe, leaving only Xiang Tian and others from the Xiang Clan outside the Xiang Building.

“Young master, should we just let them go?”

“Hehe, do you think I can easily let this go?

Send the news of the Gu Yuan Clan offending our Xiang Clan and the agreement of the Life and Death Battle Stage spreading throughout the Great Wasteland.

Warn those native tribes not to go to the Gu Yuan Tribe anymore.

I want to isolate Xiao Chen’s Gu Yuan Tribe.”

“Young master, we have this huge problem to deal with, how can we explain to our clan leader?

Moreover, the agreement for the Battle Stage can only be made by our tribe leader…”

“Enough!

Remember, I’m in charge in Duanmu City.

As for the agreement of the battleground, I’ll make it clear to my father.” Xiang Tian’s face turned ugly as the doubts of his subordinates continued.

Not all in the clan were united, and this incident required careful planning.

He mustn’t give others a chance to criticize him.

After settling Lin Shan and Tie Wen into the manor of the Shadow Forest Tribe, Xiao Chen packed his bags and rushed out of Duanmu City.

On his way back, he rode non-stop.

The two warhorses he had borrowed from Shadow Forest Tribe never got a moment of rest during the journey.

The crisis faced by the Gu Yuan Clan was a side effect of Xiao Chen’s rise.

Following his leadership, the tribal strength sky-rocketed after absorbing the Black Mountain Tribe.

It had aroused the vigilance of surrounding tribes, who had gathered together to oppose the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Originally, the scope of lower-grade tribal forces was within a thousand miles.

After the annihilation of the two tribes of Black Mountain, the Gu Yuan tribe naturally took over the two tribes’ hunting ground, increasing the tribe’s activity range and food resources dramatically.

Although this was not an issue originally, the situation escalated when tribesmen from the Gu Yuan Tribe discovered several irregular Yuan stones on a barren hill in the original Black Mountain area during a hunting trip.

The news soon reached other surrounding tribes, triggering the crisis.

PS: Happy New Year to everyone!

Your tribal leader is here to wish you a smooth and successful year ahead.
