Legendary Clan Chief
Chapter 83 - 83 82 Inviting Deception _1

83: Chapter 82 Inviting Deception _1 83: Chapter 82 Inviting Deception _1 The sun rises in the east, and countless human tribes in the Great Wasteland start their day’s labor.

However, this busy scene does not appear within the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Sparse figures dot the streets, and even some children sneakily peep from the cracks of doors, wanting to run out onto the street to play.

But barely having extended a leg outside, they are caught by their ears and dragged back by the women behind them.

The gates of the Gu Yuan Tribe are tightly shut at the moment.

On the city tower, a fully-armed war soldier stands behind every alternate crenel.

Not just that, atop the city wall, giant crossbows are filled with arrows like porcupines.

Patrols of war soldiers come and go periodically, filling the entire city with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

It’s been almost two months since Xiao Chen left the tribe, and during this period, the Gu Yuan Tribe has seen significant changes.

Talking about the tribe’s population, there are now over twenty thousand people.

The land that was originally idle in the city has been densely filled with stone houses built for the tribespeople who have joined the tribe.

Not only that, under Tie Wen’s arrangements, the tribe city has been reinforced and expanded, including major buildings in the tribe like the Chief’s Mansion and the Great Hall, which have been renovated to become more grand and imposing.

In the heart of the tribe, a stone tower has been erected.

Atop the tower stands a figure with a weary countenance braving the wind.

This tower stands over fifty meters tall.

Standing at the top of the stone tower, the entire Gu Yuan Tribe can be filled into one’s eyes.

This figure is none other than Tie Wen, the Grand Elder of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

When Xiao Chen left the tribe, he entrusted all tribal affairs to Tie Wen.

The heavy responsibilities have made him absolutely exhausted.

At his present age, he was in his prime years in the Great Wasteland, but now both temples are surprisingly flecked with grey.

For the sake of the tribe, Tie Wen has indeed made painstaking efforts.

As the Grand Elder of the tribe, he observed Xiao Chen’s instructions and strictly scrutinized the wandering tribes coming to join Gu Yuan.

However, within just two months, the tribe’s population still increased by nearly ten thousand people.

The increase in population signifies the strength of the tribe, but the daily consumption of over twenty thousand tribespeople is a huge figure.

The younger and stronger members of the tribe need to go hunting in the Savage Wilderness Forest for exotic beasts to sustain the daily consumption of the tribe.

“Tribal Chief,” he looked down.

At this moment, it should have been a bustling time, where the tribespeople of the past would have already formed teams to go hunting in the Great Wasteland.

But now they could only huddle inside the city.

Atop the stone tower, Grand Elder Tie Wen took a deep breath.

Originally, finding the Elemental Stone Vein was a truly good thing, but unexpectedly word of it leaked out.

Now they were under the siege of the Xuan She and Kui Shui Tribes.

“Elder,” Ding Shan, the War Soldier Commander of the tribe, climbed to the top of the tower.

Looking at Tie Wen, who should have had a robust figure but was now somewhat hunched, he couldn’t help but speak again, “The two other elders have been away for over half a month, so I think the tribal chief should be returning soon.

At that time, we’ll have to give those Xuan She Kui Shui Tribes a hard time.”

“The Gu Yuan Tribe is still too weak.

Although we have successively assimilated the Black Mountain and Ku Mu Tribes, expanding our territory, our roots are still too shallow.

As long as we have three years’ time, wouldn’t the Kui Shui Xuan She Tribes be something our Gu Yuan Tribe should fear?” Tie Wen turned around, giving a bitter smile as he said, “Now, our entire tribe has been besieged by the two tribes within a few hundred miles.

The tribespeople who go hunting are all ambushed by the two tribes.

Hundreds of our tribespeople have already been captured.”

Pausing for a moment, Tie Wen once again said seriously, “And what’s more, those scattered tribespeople who originally wanted to join the Gu Yuan tribe outside the city have already been captured by them.

If my guess is not wrong, these two tribes are probably going to start mining the Elemental Stone Vein.

They truly look down upon our Gu Yuan Tribe – as if we didn’t have anyone!”

Upon hearing Tie Wen’s words, Ding Shan’s heart sank and his face turned unsightly.

“Too outrageous!

This vein was initially discovered by our Gu Yuan Tribe.

They not only forcibly occupied the vein but have also abducted our tribespeople.”

“The Great Wasteland has always been a place of survival of the fittest; there is no fairness.

Now that our chieftain, Xiao Chen, is away, our Gu Yuan Tribe is being weakened and we must strengthen our tribal vigilance.

Keep a strict watch on the newly joined tribe members; anyone displaying abnormal behavior shall be dealt with mercilessly!

Also, news of Mu Qing’s recovery must be kept confidential.”

“Yes, I already ordered Shi Ya and the others to lead the War Soldiers to closely monitor them.

Any clan member showing unusual behavior will be beheaded before further investigation!” War Soldier Commander Ding Shan immediately accepted the order and stated with a hint of regret: “If only Master Gu hadn’t left our Gu Yuan Tribe.

With his friendship with our dear chieftain he would certainly not sit back and watch.

Our tribe would not have to suffer such losses.”

“That may be true, but the legacy and development of our Gu Yuan Tribe depend on the concerted efforts of tens of thousands of our tribespeople.

We can’t rely on outsiders to ensure the safety of our tribe; relying on others is never as good as relying on oneself.”

“Xiao Chen!”

Suddenly, a powerful voice echoed throughout the Gu Yuan Tribe, sounding like a massive explosion, causing a shudder among the disheartened tribespeople.

They all displayed expressions of shock.

Who on earth would dare to boldly call out the chieftain’s name?

Some hot-headed individuals even pulled out their weapons, seeking to punish this uncouth individual.

At the peak of the Stone Tower, Tie Wen and Ding Shan, who were both discussing tribal matters, their faces turned grim.

To them and the Gu Yuan Tribe as a whole, Xiao Chen was more than just their chieftain; he was their invincible faith.

Now, someone had the audacity to show up at their gates and call him by his first name, blatantly disrespecting them.

“Grand Elder, the Xuan She and Kui Shui tribes have overstepped their boundaries.

They not only seized our Elemental Stone Vein, but also joined forces to attack our Gu Yuan Tribe, capturing our tribespeople, destroying our homes, treating our tribe as if we were pushovers.”

“Do not act impulsively.

They have brought two Blood Refining Realm Warriors, and our tribe only has Mu Qing, a lone Blood Refining Realm Warrior.

Let’s see what they’re really up to.

Order the Guardian Clan Soldiers to step back.

They’re too weak to face Blood Refining Realm Warriors.”

With Xiao Chen absent, the entire tribe was under the control of Tie Wen, whose eyes glinted with a cold light.

After taking a deep breath, he managed to suppress his inner rage and said with a firm voice, “I apologize for not welcoming you earlier.

I hope that the Xuan She and Kui Shui tribes will forgive me.”

Soon after, Grand Elder Tie Wen and Ding Shan descended from the Stone Tower and went outside the city.

The two stood side by side with solemn expressions, their eyes locked on the four figures galloping towards them from the horizon.

The mounts they rode were particularly visible, two Crimson Flame Beasts and two King Unicorns.

Both types of creatures were one-star superior class beasts with strength comparable to a fully accomplished Bone-Tempering Realm Warrior.

Only a Blood Refining Realm Warrior could tame these creatures as mounts.

Those owning such beasts made quite the impression.

In the blink of an eye, the four figures arrived.

They were two young men and two elders, each wearing a prideful expression.

Upon seeing Tie Wen, they made no attempt to hide their derision.

Seeing such an entourage, Tie Wen felt a pang of apprehension.

These people from the two tribes certainly came with ill intent!
