_1 94: Chapter 93 – How Could It Be Wrong!

_1 “Everyone here is a pillar of our Gu Yuan Tribe.

Are you going to be frightened by some difficulties and talk about death as your solution?

If you die, what’s to become of your wives, your children, your dependents?

And what’s to become of the 800 years of heritage of our Gu Yuan Tribe?” Once he had stabilized the elderly Gu Lin, Xiao Chen turned around and bellowed.

Although he knew that the soldiers below were sincere and brave warriors, Xiao Chen did not mince his words.

He wanted these tribesmen to understand that as the backbone of the tribe, they could not act recklessly, seeking only a momentary satisfaction.

Seeing how Xiao Chen, who had been calm just moments earlier, suddenly changed his demeanor, the gathered warriors fell silent, unsure why their tribal leader had experienced such a drastic change of temperament.

As Xiao Chen’s Martial Realm improved with his tenure as tribal leader, his imposing aura became increasingly weighty—his invisible pressure made everyone feel as though they stood before a volcano on the brink of eruption.

“In ten days’ time, I will have a plan.

In the meantime, all of you should concentrate on maintaining order within the tribe and avoid stirring up any trouble,” Xiao Chen said.

“Tribal Leader!”

“Tribal Leader!

In ten days, I, Shi Chuan, will be willing to charge as a front-line soldier!” Shi Chuan, the Centurion, was the first to stand up, loudly addressing Xiao Chen.

“We are willing to follow our Tribal Leader in hunting the Black Cloud Mountain, and we will not shy away from death!”

Perhaps influenced by Shi Chuan, the other Centurions simultaneously rose to their feet.

Even Ding Shan, who was heavily injured, didn’t fall behind.

One after another, they knelt in the middle of the Great Hall, their fists raised to request permission from Xiao Chen.

Their resonating voices echoed around the Great Hall, causing even the ordinary tribal people in the city to turn toward the Stone Tower Top.

“All Centurions, please rise,” Xiao Chen inhaled deeply, his gaze fixed on the warriors kneeling before him.

A warm feeling welled up inside him.

After a moment’s pause, he put aside his sentiment, saying, “In ten days, I will make the arrangements.

I will ensure our Gu Yuan Tribe shows its strength to other tribes.”

“Grand Elder, although I received your message, there are still aspects of the situation I do not fully understand.

What is the current state of our tribe?”

“Reporting to the Tribal Leader, about the Elemental Stone Vein found in the Original Black Mountain Region, the information we gathered suggests that the vein is merely a trigger.

Even without the Elemental Stone Vein, the Xuan She Tribe and the Kui Shui Tribe were bound to find other reasons to challenge our Gu Yuan Tribe,” the elder Tie Wen said seriously.

Upon hearing Tie Wen’s words, Xiao Chen’s brows furrowed.

After a moment, he understood the root cause—it all came down to resources.

The territories of different tribes surrounding the Gu Yuan Tribe had long been clearly delineated.

Yet, the Gu Yuan Tribe had suddenly risen, forcefully absorbing the Black Mountain and Withered Wood Tribes.

Although all of this was merely a retaliation from the Gu Yan Tribe, other tribes may not see it that way.

What they saw was the Gu Yan Tribe expanding its territory by two thousand miles, thereby gaining a significant increase in resources and consequent strength.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Led by Xiao Chen, the Gu Yuan Tribe rose up against the limited resources available in their region.

If the Gu Yuan Tribe acquired more resources, it would mean less for the Xuan She Kui Shui Tribe.

Rather than let the Gu Yuan Tribe grow and become a formidable force, it was better for other tribes to strike first.

“Grand Elder, how many of our tribespeople have been captured?” Xiao Chen asked.

“A total of 800 tribesfolk were plundered and taken away by the Xuan She Kui Shui Tribe.

Most of them were recently joined members from smaller sub-tribes, numbering more than 600 people.

Only about 200 were traditional members of our Gu Yuan Tribe.

At the same time, thousands of non-accredited members from sub-tribes who lived outside the city were also taken away.

If my estimate is correct, these people have probably been sent to work in the Elemental Stone Mine,” Elder Tie Wen responded gravely.

“Damn them!

The sudden attack of the Xuan She Kui Shui Tribes has dealt a devastating blow to our Tribe’s expansion plans.

Those stranded tribes originally came to us seeking refuge, and they would have been accepted into the tribe as our people,” Xiao Tan, the Elder responsible for internal affairs, said resentfully.

Xiao Tan, a relative of Xiao Chen, had never been a disappointment.

He executed Xiao Chen’s plans and orders loyally and thoroughly, firmly grasping the Tribe’s affairs.

Xiao Chen was glad he had made the right choice picking him.

“What’s more, during the past few months, the Xuan She Kui Shui Tribes completely sealed off the region outside our tribe’s territory.

Tribespeople who went out to hunt were captured.

The warriors from both tribes continue to harass us at irregular intervals, making it impossible for peace to be restored.

Moreover, due to the sudden increase in the tribe’s population, food consumption has increased dramatically.

What we have within the tribe can no longer meet the demand, and the food reserves we have can last for a maximum of three days.

This is the result of carefully planned rationing,” Xiao Tan added.

Food is of utmost importance to people, as daily sustenance is crucial.

After all, this is a matter that affects the stability of the entire tribe.

However, now that Xiao Chen has returned, he would not let a food crisis occur.

After receiving reports from the elders and the centurions about the events transpired over the past two months, Xiao Chen had a comprehensive understanding of the changes within the tribe.

The tribe’s strength had increased significantly during these two months, with the population almost doubling.

However, the faithfulness of these new members needed to be evaluated over time.

There were all sorts of people in this group, and it would take time to integrate them into the Gu Yuan Tribe completely.

“While the Tribal Leader was away, the tribe’s affairs were in my hands.

However, over the past two months, more than 800 newly joined tribespeople fled the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Please punish me accordingly,” Tie Wen said solemnly, raising his fist towards Xiao Chen.

“Tribal Leader, the Grand Elder is swamped with work every day; how could he possibly attend to every single tribesmember?

The desertion of newly joined tribesmembers is due to my mishandling as the War Soldier Commander, and I let them escape.

It has nothing to do with the Grand Elder.

Please punish me for failing to protect the tribe,” Ding Shan stepped forward to defend himself as he saw Tie Wen take the blame.

Not only did Ding Shan step forward to confess his crime, but the Centurions also appeared as if they wanted to speak yet hesitated.

They seemed eager to plead for Tie Wen’s mercy, but they were caught in a dilemma due to Xiao Chen’s authority.

“Follow me, everyone,” Xiao Chen said, standing up and walking towards the hall’s entrance.

He arrived at the corridor outside the Stone Tower, where the entirety of Gu Yuan Tribe was in sight.

The tribe had grown larger than when Xiao Chen had left.

It had expanded by three miles in both the east and west directions to accommodate the newly joined tribespeople.

As the sun was setting, the tribe’s streets were mostly empty, with only a few patrolling War Soldiers and playful children around.

Whiffs of smoke rose towards the sky from cooking fires, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere in the tribe at that moment.

Directing his gaze towards the tribe below, Xiao Chen pointed his hand towards it and exclaimed, “The Grand Elder has made extraordinary contributions.

Where does the question of punishment even arise?”
