Chapter 880: Chapter 865: Disciples’ Training, Tribe’s Allegiance!

[Clan Leader Seeking Votes and Subscriptions!][Fellow readers may join the group 310191782]

In the Great Hall, various eyes intermingled, carrying an ineffable aura, especially the other young warriors present. With fear apparent in their eyes, Shan Chuan’s return had brought them an immense crisis.

Being direct descendants of the tribe and now with his strong return, Shan Chuan’s presence naturally impacted their status. Even without Shan Chuan taking any action, simply by the virtue of his third-level Towering Realm status, many of the clan’s elder warriors would gravitate towards him, easily gaining support.

Shan Chuan’s lips curled into a brief smile. As for what his peers might be thinking, he could easily guess, but he no longer took their thoughts to heart.

Having witnessed the grandeur of the Desolate Wilds and the rise of a Strongest Marquis Tribe, the Mountain and Sea War Division was but a shallow pond to him. His contemporaries from the tribe were nothing more than frogs in a well, confined within the small circle of the Mountain and Sea War Division, even if they competed for power within the tribe.

Lacking the experience of the vastness of the outer world and the strength of other tribes, they could not fathom how insignificant they truly were.

"Shan Chuan pays his respects to the Clan Leader."

"Good, good, good, the ancestors of our Mountain and Sea War Division must be blessed."

Shan Yue, the Clan Leader of the Mountain and Sea War Division seated at the main seat in the Great Hall, couldn’t hide the shock in his eyes and exclaimed loudly.

"Good. Shan Chuan, now that you have attained the Towering Realm, you are fit for the position of elder within our tribe. In the future, even the seat of Clan Leader of the Mountain and Sea War Division can be yours."

In the Desolate Land, the importance of a strong one was self-evident, and a single strong one could lead a war division to its rise, which Shan Yue clearly understood.

"The high position within the tribe."

Shan Chuan murmured softly, with not a ripple in his eyes. However, Shan Yue’s words sent shockwaves through the other young warriors, as they vied with one another for the position of Clan Leader.

But now, with Shan Chuan’s return, the position of Clan Leader seemed easily within reach, and only now did they realize how absurd their past actions were.

However, the respect for the strong was an undeniable truth. It was a fact that when Shan Chuan left the tribe, he was weaker than them, but now his forceful return and his overwhelming strength over all of them was also a fact!

"Clan Leader, Shan Chuan’s return today will not allow him to stay in the tribe for long. Moreover, Shan Chuan’s aspirations do not lie within the tribe but in making his way through the Desolate Land."

Shan Chuan spoke again soon after, neither humble nor arrogant. The position of Clan Leader could hardly stir his heart.

What!

Sudden shock filled the hall again—are they really giving up the position within the tribe?

"Could it be he has not come back to seize power?" questioned the other young warriors, a hint of doubt rising in their eyes.

"Clan Leader, Shan Chuan has a task at hand. It just so happens to be near the tribe, which is the reason for his return."

Soon after, Shan Chuan took his seat on the Stone Chair in the middle of the Great Hall. Strength represented status, and naturally, no one had anything to say against it.

"Are you planning to leave again?"

"Indeed!"

Shan Chuan nodded, and then spoke again, "This time I am following the Third Young Master to Xuanling City, hence I had the chance to return to the tribe."

"The Third Young Master is whom?"

Seeing Shan Chuan speak so earnestly, it immediately prompted Shan Yue to ask.

"The Third Young Master is Jian Jinghong, the third direct disciple of Sir Divine Marquis of the Gu Yuan Clan, now heading to Xuanling City on a mission from our teacher."

The Divine Marquis?

"You mean to say your Third Young Master is the direct disciple of the newly raised Divine Marquis, Mister Xiao?"

"Indeed!"

The authority of the Gu Yuan Clan now reached far across the border regions. Divine Marquis, Legendary Marquis Department—names that ordinary warriors hardly dared to speak of, had recently become common topics of discussion among many warriors.

"This return to the tribe is also in accordance with the orders of the Third Young Master," Shan Chuan continued to say.

Upon hearing those words, not only Shan Yue but also the warriors of other Mountain and Sea clans in the Great Hall felt their minds tighten. As the personal disciple of Xiao Chen, if we speak of current status, my Mountain and Sea War Division can hardly compare. Should there be some excessive demands, we can only grit our teeth and comply, for the Gu Yuan Clan is not someone we can afford to offend.

"I wonder what matter calls for the Third Young Master to summon you back to the clan. As you are aware, my Mountain and Sea War Division is insignificant. Even if the Third Young Master has given an order, perhaps my Mountain and Sea War Division will find it difficult to fulfill."

Shan Yue said again, but this time his tone turned rigid, and a strange light rose in the eyes of others in the hall, even glaring angrily.

Amidst the tension in the Great Hall, Shan Chuan naturally sensed it. Without delay, he continued, "Clan Leader, Shan Chuan is also of the Mountain and Sea War Division. How could I do anything to disgrace our clan?"

"The Third Young Master is currently entrusted by his master with the task of eradicating the Survivors of the Exotic Clan and integrating Xuanling City. Due to the constraints of his master’s order, the people who came before are but a handful, barely more than ten, all of whom are followers of the Third Young Master. However, the force is insufficient for annihilating the survivors, thus I was dispatched back to the clan to see if there are any warriors from our Mountain and Sea War Division who wish to join the Third Young Master."

"That is the purpose of my return to the clan." Shan Chuan spoke indifferently and quickly finished his statement, quietly waiting for the consideration of everyone in the hall.

"Join the Third Young Master?"

At this moment, the clan leader and Grand Elder of the Mountain and Sea War Division knitted their brows tightly together.

"Shan Chuan, you are a member of our Mountain and Sea War Division. Although you have learned some skills outside and have now returned, the clan has always been very gracious in nurturing you," spoke the Grand Elder of the Mountain and Sea War Division after a moment.

"It is precisely because the Mountain and Sea War Division has nurtured Shan Chuan that I have returned today. Otherwise, I would not have mentioned this matter in front of the Clan Leader. Besides, with many clans in the Human World, if the Third Young Master puts out the word, clans willing to join him will be flocking to him. When that time comes, do you think there will still be consideration for our Mountain and Sea War Division?"

"The Third Young Master is now at the fourth level of the Towering Realm, comprehending the Sword Dao Profound Mysteries. Even Divine Marquis Sir praises him endlessly. As for the quality of the Martial Arts Tower he has built, Shan Chuan does not know. Yet the Third Young Master is two years younger than Shan Chuan."

Shan Chuan’s voice, still indifferent, once again stirred the hall. To be two years younger than Shan Chuan, yet already at the fourth level of the Towering Realm, on par with their own clan leader, was a profound shock to everyone.

"Moreover, joining the Third Young Master offers more than just these benefits. When Shan Chuan was promoted to the Towering Realm, I received the Third Young Master’s care. Now, consider the quality of the Martial Arts Tower I have built."

At this point, Shan Chuan paused, immediately attracting everyone’s attention. They were quite curious about the quality of the Martial Arts Tower that Shan Chuan had forged.

In less than three years, what kind of training had Shan Chuan received to attain such cultivation today? Moreover, the quality of the Martial Arts Tower is crucial for the future advancement of a warrior’s cultivation.

"Grade Seven!"

His voice was faint, but it struck the entire Great Hall like a thunderclap. For a superior War Division, forging a Martial Arts Tower of Grade Five or higher is already rare. This was limited by various factors such as the foundation and heritage of the clan.

Currently, the strongest person in the Mountain and Sea War Division, Clan Leader Shan Yue, has only forged a Grade Five Martial Arts Tower. This was the highest quality that has been achieved by the warriors of the Mountain and Sea War Division for thousands of years.

In other words, without a stroke of fate, if Shan Yue cannot advance to the fifth level of the Towering Realm, he has already reached the limit of his martial path.

Shan Yue and the Grand Elder exchanged glances, astonishment in their eyes. The same thought rose in their hearts: the possibility of becoming a Marquis War Division.

With a Grade Seven Towering Realm, if one does not fall prematurely, there is hope to reach the seventh level of the Towering Realm in the future. A single Venerable at the sixth level can uphold a Marquis Division, which would rank among the top tribes in the entire Ten Thousand Mountains Domain.

"This time, few know of the Third Young Master’s mission from his master. Moreover, it is unrealistic to think that Xuanling City could be integrated in a short time. That’s why I was sent back to the clan, to recruit some young warriors. Before everyone else reacts, we will take swift and overwhelming action to take over Xuanling City and then eradicate the Survivors of the Exotic Clan."

"Now that the Third Young Master has just arrived, he has no capable warriors at his disposal. Naturally, this is the best opportunity to pledge allegiance. Of course, all this still requires the Clan Leader’s decision."

Having said this, Shan Chuan chose not to elaborate further.

Actually, his return to the clan was also something he had fought for in front of Jian Jinghong. Do not think that the entire clan joining a warrior’s following is a disgrace. Many clans in the Desolate Land seek shelter under the Strong Ones.

Although Jian Jinghong has not fully grown yet, if the Mountain and Sea War Division joins now, they will reap greater benefits in the future.

"I, the Clan Leader, wish to meet this Third Young Master you speak of!" declared the Clan Leader of the Mountain and Sea War Division after a moment, determination flashing in his eyes.

This concerned the entire clan’s fate; moreover, the Human World is fraught with danger. As the Clan Leader, responsible for tens of thousands of his people, he cannot make a hasty decision. Once he pledges the clan to another’s service, it concerns the life and death of the tribe.

"Good!" responded Shan Chuan softly.

Having the entire clan under Jian Jinghong’s command would also benefit him. Take the present for instance; there were already a dozen followers under Jian Jinghong’s wing. If he had a whole clan to rely upon, in the future, he would naturally have a greater say in Jian Jinghong’s presence.

Xuanling City.

The rampage of the exotic tribes did not cause the various ranger forces within Xuanling City to restrain themselves. Instead, due to the successive battles waged by their supporting tribes, resources were severely depleted, and they desperately needed to replenish resources, intensifying their efforts. They sent more warriors into abandoned mine caves to search for elemental stones.

Jian Jinghong, carrying out orders from Xiao Chen, had come to Xuanling City and did not immediately take action. Instead, he quietly observed, starting to probe into the intertwined forces within the city, as well as the situation with the Survivors of the Exotic Clan outside the city.

On this day, two figures rushed from the vast Great Wasteland and melded into the ceaseless flow of people entering the city. Once inside, they headed straight for a Stone Courtyard in the southwest corner of the city that was a full league in size.
