Chapter 960: Chapter 943 Tribal Deliberations Disciples Defend the City!

Gu Yuan Tribe.

In the Bronze Ancient City, there was a bustle of activity. The Gu Yuan Tribe’s Void Battleship had returned, bringing with it three thousand tribespeople from the Remnants of the Xuankong to the heart of the tribe.

After all, it has been ten thousand years since their separation from the Human World, and at this moment, these tribespeople were still sizing up their new living environment.

With the complete inheritance of Formation Methods of the Xuankong lineage integrated into the Gu Yuan Tribe, once the Gu Yuan Tribe fully absorbed these Formation Methods, it might not be long before another hall, the Formation Pavilion, would emerge within the tribe.

In contrast to the noisy ancient city, the Tribal Grand Hall was filled with many Tribal Elders, who were quite literally all gathered under one roof.

"Chieftain."

Just as the many Elders were about to rise and pay their respects, they were stopped by Xiao Chen, and the next moment his voice echoed throughout the entire Great Hall.

"Fellow Elders, have you finished your deliberations?"

"Reporting to the Chieftain, the deliberations are complete, and arrangements have been made, just awaiting the Chieftain’s decision!"

Hum!

Soon, the massive Kunyu Complete Map appeared once again in the middle of the Tribal Grand Hall, and at this moment, the sand table revealed several different locations amid the crisscrossing mountains and Desolate Ancient Forests.

Then Ding Shan stood up, walked over to the side of the sand table that formed the Kunyu Complete Map, and said to Xiao Chen.

"Please take a look, Chieftain." Thereupon, he pointed to the sand table, and Xiao Chen also gazed at the map before him.

"Our Human War Tribe in the Border Wasteland Region is mainly distributed in the northeast, north, east, and also in the area close to the central Border Wasteland City, with over seventy percent of the Battle Divisions located in these areas."

"After consulting with the Tribal Elders, using Border Wasteland City as a center, five safe passages have been established in the northeast, north, and northwest—where the tribes are densely populated—along areas of the mountains with fewer dangers, to strengthen the connections with Border Wasteland City."

"In the south, southwest, and southeast, where tribal distribution is sparse, one safe passage each has been established to tighten control over these regions!"

On the sand table, a series of red lines represented the safe passages, connecting various parts of the Border Wasteland Region.

Almost all these lines bypassed the Desolate Mountain Forests, avoided treacherous ravines, wound their way through, and eventually converged at Border Wasteland City.

"Very good!" Xiao Chen nodded profoundly, then asked, "These safe passages all avoid dangerous lands, but the Desolate Ancient Forests are often prowled by Exotic Beasts. How will the defense of these safe passages be guaranteed?"

"Chieftain." At this point, the War God Temple Luo Yunshan stood up and spoke.

"Chieftain, my War God Temple currently has more than thirty Zhong Lou Realm young geniuses who, though they have just advanced to the Zhong Lou Realm, are willing to go out to gather tribespeople and establish tribes!"

"While that might not be sufficient, once our Gu Yuan Tribe takes control of the Border Wasteland and issues an Imperial Command calling for some independent warriors to establish and build their own tribes, then stationing these newly established tribes near key points along the safe passages can fully ensure the unobstructed flow of the entire route!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. The Tribal Elders had thought things through thoroughly. Only if the tribes were closely connected could the entire Border Wasteland come alive.

Regarding the establishment of tribes, the Border Wasteland Region’s tribal distribution was too sparse, compounded by the ravaging of foreign races, which led to countless human casualties. Zhong Lou Realm Warriors could gather tribespeople and establish a mid-tier tribe.

Although they would be the weakest presence in a mid-tier Battle Division, this would still give ordinary tribespeople the power to protect themselves, which is far stronger than a lower-tier Battle Division.

"Good!" Xiao Chen immediately exclaimed, "Tell those young warriors who wish to establish tribes and expand territories, I will search for Divine Metal to forge a Divine Object of town fortune for them, to make them a true mid-tier Battle Division!"

Xiao Chen’s voice was thunderous, reverberating throughout the Great Hall. Without a Divine Object of fortune, even if they could gather tribespeople, they would still be a faux mid-tier Battle Division, unable to gather fortune. Since Divine Metal of fortune from the Desolate Land was hard to find, Xiao Chen offering to search for it was an extremely fortunate event.

A Divine Object was fundamental to establishing a tribe, with countless independent warriors of the Desolate Land wishing to establish tribes and expand territory, but almost all were halted due to a lack of Divine Metal of fortune!

"There’s also the matter of building cities in the dangerous lands throughout our Border Wasteland. It seems the Elders also have a settled mind on this!"

Quickly, Xiao Chen’s gaze returned to the sand table, now showing several new small cities appearing around the Border Wasteland Region.

"Let me explain this part." Ding Shan returned to his seat, as the Grand Elder stood up and approached the sand table.

"Chieftain, aside from Zhen Nan City, which has already started construction to guard the Southern Border of the Border Wasteland, the Elders have discussed building cities in other directions to guard the entire rim of the Border Wasteland."

"One city each will be constructed in the southeast and southwest, formerly the southwest where our Gu Yuan Tribe initially established tribes, to support Zhen Nan City and mutually guard the Luo Long Mountain Range, radiating over the entire southern periphery of the Border Wasteland, and thus also acquiring a wealth of resources from the Luo Long Mountain Range!"

"Cities will be built in the east, northeast, north, northwest, and west to defend the Border Wasteland while also strengthening connections with the Ten Thousand Mountain Domain and other major regions!"

"The safe passages that the tribe seeks to open will ultimately connect with these eight cities. As long as we can clear the foreign races from the Border Wasteland, even ordinary Blood Refining Realm Warriors will be able to move about the entire Border Wasteland!"

The Desolate Land is densely forested with perilous terrain, making communication between tribes quite inconvenient. This is also why warriors from within the tribes cannot travel too far away from their tribe, because they cannot make it through.

Trapped in one place, a tribe can indeed continue to thrive, but enhancing their strength becomes exceedingly difficult. This is because the extent of the area a tribe can control has limited both the tribe’s development and the improvement of its warriors.

As the Grand Elder’s voice faded, Xiao Chen did not immediately respond. Instead, he continuously pondered over the matter. Building a city was not a simple task; the Gu Yuan Tribe would need to dispatch warriors to guard it.

Likewise, with the safe passages that had been opened up, it was not to say that avoiding the dangerous gorges and miasma-filled dense forests guaranteed safety. The sand table was merely a representation and could not completely depict the actual terrain.

What the true situation was still needed to be personally investigated to clarify, to identify the dangers along the route, whether there were ferocious beasts lurking, and to explore a relatively safe passage.

"Chieftain," it was at this moment Ding Shan stood up again and volunteered.

"While the Border Wasteland Warriors are resting, and the tribe’s War Soldiers are still enhancing their strength, the multitude of commanders from our War Master Hall have finished recuperating and may venture forth from the tribe to clear these passages!"

Currently in the War Master Hall, its master Ding Shan, vice-master Mu Wu Ya, and Xiao Bangtu, were all ranked amongst the respected. After these days of enhancement, within the hall, there were also three Towering Realm fifth-layer strong ones, five fourth-layer strong ones, and dozens below the third layer.

A few breaths later, Xiao Chen spoke, "War Master Hall heed my command."

"Your subordinate obeys the order!" Instantly, Mu Wu Ya and Xiao Bangtu also stood up and voiced their compliance.

However, Xiao Chen’s words were not yet complete, swiftly following up with another command, "Shi Ya."

"Your subordinate is here."

"Shi Ya, lead the Void Battleship, alongside the three masters of the War Master Hall and many commanders, follow the previously discussed route, clearing out the ferocious beasts along the way, and securing all the major strategic points!"

"Your subordinate obeys the order!"

Clearly, Xiao Chen this time intended to have the tribe’s strong ones directly exterminate the ferocious beasts along the way, without plans to mobilize the Tribal War Masters.

"Alright, as for the construction of cities in various places, this chieftain will ponder over it thoroughly!"

Very soon, many elders received their orders and left. Then, after a short while, within the Blue Stone Garden.

"We pay our respects to Master."

In front of Xiao Chen, all nine disciples, without a single exception, respectfully performed their salutations, even Jian Jinghong from afar in Xuanling City and the seventh and eighth disciples from the Crystal Stone Wasteland had hurriedly returned to the tribe.

"Rise, take your seats."

Xiao Chen waved his hand casually, inviting his disciples to sit around the stone table, naturally, with the youngest disciple sitting closest to him.

However, at this moment, Zi Yuan was behaving extremely obediently, sitting quietly next to Xiao Chen, as if she understood that her fellow disciples had important matters to discuss with their master.

"I understand why you’ve come, but excluding Wei’er, your strength is still lacking. Letting you all go out, your teacher can’t rest easy."

Xiao Chen was naturally aware of his disciples’ intentions. Last time, Huang Xiaotian and Yun Wei had requested to be dispatched outside to defend Zhen Nan City but were denied by Xiao Chen.

The other disciples all had their businesses and did not partake in the last tribal meeting, yet this moment was different. With the inclusion of the Remnants of the Xuankong, the Gu Yuan Tribe no longer lacked Formation Teachers.

Even though the Xuankong’s remnant warriors were not strong, trapped in their Secret Realm, they still had a great number of warriors studying Formation Methods. For this reason, Tian Fang’s Formation Pavilion now had Formation Masters.

A few days ago, Xiao Chen had also integrated the wandering martial artist, Feng Tieyi, a Refining Body warrior, into the tribe. Similarly, Xiong Sheng’s Refining Body Pavilion had acquired a new pavilion master.

This had led all the major disciples to gather and come to Xiao Chen’s side.

Upon hearing this, the disciples couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of their mouths. Within the entire Gu Yuan Tribe, Yun Wei was known to be the most elusive person, with rumors claiming there was little to choose between her and her fellow disciples in terms of fighting prowess.

But only they knew who the true strongest was – Yun Wei.

Watching his disciples’ expressions, Xiao Chen let out a long sigh and said, "However, besides Yuan’er, this girl, it’s time for you a few disciples to leave your teacher and experience the outside world!"

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s voice bore a hint of wistfulness.

"Master."

The disciples also became somber, having expected to implore Xiao Chen earnestly, not anticipating that their master would readily agree.

"The path of cultivation lies within oneself. Your teacher is but a guide. Now you can traverse the Great Wasteland, but before that, your strengths must be elevated."

"That way, your teacher can let you leave the tribe, to independently defend a city!" After a pause, Xiao Chen continued, "In one day’s time, come find your teacher."

Quickly, Xiao Chen stepped into the Mountain and River Herb Garden, and almost instantly, Luli appeared before him.
