Chapter 918: Chapter 901: Mysterious Spirit Integration, Striking with Awe!

[This is the ninth update, the last update will be after 11 PM, not in the early hours of the next day]

Gu Yuan Tribe.

Xiao Chen, ambushed by enemies from another tribe, could not hide the incident from the tribe people of Gu Yuan, especially since Xiao Chen himself intended to block the news, thus beyond some elders, ordinary tribe people knew nothing.

Faced with the unsettling news of Xiao Chen being lost in the Deep Void, his life and death unknown, the tribe people within the Gu Yuan were incredibly agitated.

"I don’t believe it—our chieftain must be blessed by the heavens and will definitely be safe!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! The chieftain must be fine. Our Gu Yuan Tribe has come through storms to become imposing in the Border Wasteland and ranked among the noble tribes—all thanks to our chieftain’s superior strength. How could he possibly be in danger!"

"The warriors from other tribes are just spreading rumors. Our chieftain will be fine—they are cursing our chieftain and truly deserve to die!"

...

Whether it’s within the Gu Yuan Tribe or the Entire Border Wilderness Domain, under the news of Xiao Chen’s disappearance, it was as if storms were rising and dark currents were stirring.

At the agreement with Xiao Chen, no one from the Border Wasteland Human Ancestral Court stepped forward either; this made the rumors of Xiao Chen’s fall into the hands of exotic clans grow even more violent.

In contrast to the Human Tribe’s dampened spirits, those hidden exotic clans within the Border Wasteland had become active, making frequent appearances and attacking the Human Battle Division.

Even after seeing that the Human Ancestral Court made no further moves, they became even more brazen.

Xuanling Mountain Range, Xuanling City.

Over these days, Jian Jinghong had already integrated the entire Xuanling City, having completely defeated and absorbed the six major ranger forces that had once existed in the city.

Outside of the Mountain and Sea Tribe who had previously followed him, Jian Jinghong had absorbed the several major forces of Xuanling City and now had fifty thousand War Soldiers under his command.

These fifty thousand War Soldiers were carefully selected by him; originally, each of the six major ranger forces had tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand members when counting all men, women, and children.

Having been used to Gu Yuan Tribe’s elite and powerful warriors, Jian Jinghong naturally disdained these ragtag groups and formed fifty thousand War Masters from those surrendered warriors who were robust.

Besides, aside from the few followers he had brought with him from his tribe, the Sword Pavilion that Jian Jinghong had established now had fifteen Towering Realm Martial Artists, including two from the fourth level of Towering Realm and one from the fifth level of Towering Realm.

Xuanling City, Yuanling Temple.

This place, originally belonging to the first major ranger force of Xuanling City, had now become the residence of the Sword Pavilion.

Inside the Great Hall, dozens of figures were discussing affairs.

"Gentlemen, the exotic clans outside Xuanling City have become increasingly rampant lately, constantly attacking our people in Xuanling City and the surrounding tribes, so I plan on purging these exotic clans," said Jian Jinghong, his voice resonant. Sitting to his right were the many Towering Realm Martial Artists; as his master’s apprentice, his task was to integrate Xuanling City and fully clear out the exotic clans surrounding it.

Now that Xuanling City had been completely brought under the rule of the Sword Pavilion, it was time to start the second step: purging the exotic clans, especially since the rumors of Xiao Chen’s fall were spreading throughout the Border Wasteland, which Jian Jinghong was aware of.

However, he did not believe that his master could have fallen—it was an instinct.

Nevertheless, these rumors had caused the exotic clans hidden within the outer Xuanling Mountain Range to act even more wildly; besides, the subordinates gathered in his newly established Sword Pavilion, upon hearing this news, also became restless.

Thinking of this, Jian Jinghong’s eyes swept across the Great Hall, where the expressions of all the warriors were clearly visible. Besides a few followers he had brought along, the others were all from ranger backgrounds, naturally unyielding and untamed—shocking them into submission would require real power.

"Sect Leader, with the exotic clans currently having the upper hand outside the city, if we send troops to attack them now, it would be disadvantageous for us!"

"Indeed, Sect Leader, the mountain ranges where these exotic clans hide are filled with mine caves, making the cleansing incredibly difficult."

"The exotic tribes are cunning, and now they have even started to become more ferocious upon catching wind of some unconfirmed rumors; our Sword Pavilion has just been established and taking risky actions might result in a setback, which would be extremely detrimental for establishing our rule over Xuanling City!"

As Jian Jinghong’s words fell, several Towering Realm Martial Artists quickly disputed; naturally, the patchwork strength hastily assembled for the nascent Sword Pavilion did not need much mention.

"Do all the elders think this way?" Jian Jinghong’s lips curled into a cold smile.

"Indeed, Sect Leader, we agree with Elder Blood and Elder Mu’s words. With the situation still unclear, it’s better to be cautious as the Sword Pavilion has just begun ruling over Xuanling City," responded another warrior quickly. Elder Blood was the Towering Realm fifth-level ranger among them, and Elder Mu was a Towering Realm fourth-level martial artist.

As for another Towering Realm fourth-level martial artist whose surname was Qi, he remained silent for now although his eyes flickered with a sharp gleam, showing he was no simple character.

Amid the roaring of the warriors in the hall, Elder Qi’s lips carried a subtle sneer, seemingly mocking the ignorance of the warriors present.

"Were the rumors caught by the Survivors of the Exotic Clan, or did you all catch some unfounded rumors!"

Jian Jinghong scoffed coldly, his body radiating a sharpness that converged around him as his gaze swept over the Great Hall, deliberately pausing after each word as he spoke.

As they met Jian Jinghong’s piercing gaze, some of the less powerful elders immediately felt a stabbing pain in their eyes, but Elder Blood and Elder Mu were indifferent, their gaze shifting away.

"Three days from now, assemble at the City Gate for the conquest of the Xuanling Mountain Range. Those who fail to appear will be killed!"

The next moment, Jian Jinghong’s voice rang out again.

Now, owing to Xiao Chen’s disappearance, the morale of the human tribe in the Entire Border Wasteland had been greatly damaged, while the Exotic Clan’s morale had significantly increased. This rise and fall had even reversed the decline caused by the war of fate the Blood Clan had lost days earlier.

It was precisely because the Exotic Clan took advantage of this situation becoming more rampant that Jian Jinghong initiated the conquest against them, even abandoning the original plan to spend half a month integrating the Sword Pavilion, deciding instead to consolidate it through bloodshed and battle.

"Pavilion master, by making such an arbitrary decision, you are endangering the Sword Pavilion. I see that your heart is burdened. We can understand. You can rest for a few days. There are several of us to handle the Pavilion affairs, or perhaps, Pavilion Master, you may return to the tribe, and maybe...."

Clang!

Elder Blood hadn’t finished speaking when a resounding clang filled the Great Hall, and an invisible sword energy surged, instantly slashing towards him.

Almost instantaneously, before any warrior had time to react, a line of blood appeared on Elder Blood’s neck, followed by a few sparkling drops of blood.

"You...."

Elder Blood’s eyes bulged, trying to speak, but was unable to say another word, and in a blink of an eye, his head rolled down to the ground, blood spurting wildly.

The sudden action of Jian Jinghong immediately rendered the entire Great Hall silent, everyone staring at the still-rolling head on the ground, too stunned to speak, especially the warriors who had been voicing objections until now were pale-faced.

"This...."

They had not expected Jian Jinghong to be so decisively ruthless in killing, that even a warrior a level higher than him could not escape the sharpness of his swordsmanship.

"I have heard the rumors from outside as well. But, do they affect you?"

Having slain Elder Blood, the Great Hall turned quiet, as Jian Jinghong stowed away his murderous intent, scanning the hall with his gaze once again, then spoke.

"The Entire Border Wasteland belongs to the Gu Yuan Tribe; a mere Xuanling City cannot create much disturbance."

"The Gu Yuan Tribe has legendary strong ones stationed, scores of noble powers, and hundreds of Heavy Tower Realm Warriors. Even if you harbor other thoughts, what can you do against the overwhelming might of the Gu Yuan, but be mere ants!"

Jian Jinghong stood up and walked towards the exit of the Great Hall, speaking as he walked, "Moreover, even without the Gu Yuan Tribe, in front of this Pavilion Master, what qualification do any of you have to object!"

"Three days from now, assemble at the City Gate for the conquest of the Xuanling Mountain Range. Those who fail to appear will be killed!"

Jian Jinghong’s figure vanished from the Great Hall, but the last words that resonated, though previously spoken, felt distinctly different this time.

The current words were thick with a killing intent making everyone involuntarily shudder.

However, the Heavy Tower Realm warriors, coming back to their senses, couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, reflecting on their earlier behavior, realizing they had taken themselves too seriously.

Facing the immense Gu Yuan Tribe, even if the rumors outside were true, so long as they lived in the Border Wasteland, the Gu Yuan Tribe was an insurmountable mountain above their heads.

Unlike the inexplicable horror among the warriors in the Great Hall, Elder Qi rose and left. Looking at the head of Elder Blood rolling on the ground, even though he had been a fifth-tier Heavy Tower Realm warrior, now he was nothing more than bones soon to decay.

Compared to the deceased Elder Blood, Elder Qi was more aware of his own situation and understood the reality.

In their eyes, perhaps dominating a city was the peak they could reach in their lifetime, but for the Gu Yuan Tribe, their aspirations were truly inconsequential.

Leaving the Great Hall, Elder Qi did not return to his dwelling but went to Jian Jinghong’s residence instead.

"Pavilion Master," Elder Qi greeted Jian Jinghong with respect.

Even if the rumors of Xiao Chen’s death outside the Deep Void were true, Jian Jinghong’s own strength was not something he could contend with.

"I am curious about the purpose of Elder Qi’s visit?" Jian Jinghong was quite surprised by Elder Qi’s arrival.

This Elder Qi, originally a warrior in the Xuanling City ranger forces, had pledged allegiance to the Sword Pavilion.

But he had been keeping a low profile these days, and besides, he did not vie for power, making him hardly noticeable among the many Heavy Tower Realm warriors who had aligned, if not for the fact that his power was at the fourth-tier of this realm.
