Chapter 993: Chapter 976: Mu Qing’s Strategy - A Banquet to Reward Achievement!

"The spiritual wood rustled, adorned with purple lightning and silver light, already more than ten zhang in thickness. The Thunder Tribulation Spirit Tree, towering to a hundred zhang, enveloped the entire Blue Stone Garden with its presence."

"Upon the tree bodies as thick as bowls, strands of purple silver light, as thick as arms, wound around them like silver snakes."

"Under the tree, from the teacups on the white jade stone table, steam spiraled upwards, carrying the essence of the hot, mist-like Spirit Tea. With a gentle pour for Mu Qing, Nianhua’s brows furrowed slightly as she spoke, ’That girl Wei’er has sent back news, still no signs of that alien race’s tracks; it’s really unclear where they could be hiding.’"

"Now, Nianhua, too, bore the radiance of motherhood, and her movements were no longer as hasty, always careful not to harm the new life growing within her."

"’As long as they have a conspiracy, they will eventually show their true colors. Now that Wei’er and her fellow disciples have thoroughly searched every corner of the Border Wilderness Region, only my central domain remains unexplored.’"

"Mu Qing lifted the Spirit Tea to her lips and took a light sip before speaking again, ’However, I have already ordered the tribe to deliver the imperial commands to those of the Human War Tribe along the safe passages.’"

"’But sister, conveying imperial commands to the various divisions under us, even if done covertly, isn’t there no wall without cracks? Won’t this startle the snake in the grass?’ Nianhua asked softly, a hint of concern in her voice."

"’Sister, I had the same thought initially as well!’ Seeing Nianhua looking at her, Mu Qing did not delay in responding."

"’These past few days, I’ve been thinking and had a sudden epiphany. This alien race, wandering in our Border Wilderness Region, should also understand that discovery by our Gu Yuan Tribe is only a matter of time due to their use of treasures to hide their presence, thus their brazenness without fear of our tribe’s probe!’"

"’Are you saying that this alien race is well aware that they cannot escape the search of our Gu Yuan Tribe, and they didn’t intend to remain thoroughly hidden the whole time?’ Nianhua’s eyes lit up as she understood Mu Qing’s point."

"’Since they know that our Gu Yuan Tribe will eventually discover them, they naturally also realize that our tribe will mobilize efforts to search for them. Therefore, our action to seek them out is within their expectations. There’s no longer any point in secretly searching for them because they have long been prepared for our tribe’s pursuit."

"’Rather than that, whether we search in secret or pursue them openly makes no difference to them, as they are ready for either approach. By issuing the imperial command openly, we can instead assemble an even greater force!’"

"A sharp glint flashed in Mu Qing’s eyes, and in that moment, she was no longer the demure woman who hid behind Xiao Chen."

"’With such wisdom, sister, even if my husband were here, he would feel inferior to you. No wonder he has said that you are the only one fit to control Gu Yuan,’ Nianhua said with a playful smile."

"’Because my husband needs to oversee the grand scheme, he might not have thought of this for the moment. If he hadn’t left, he would surely understand the key points by now,’ Mu Qing replied, a light laugh in her eyes."

"’In that case, you must already have some plans in mind,’ Nianhua’s voice rose again as she asked Mu Qing gently, devoid of any desire to compete since she focused on the life she was carrying."

"’Before my husband left, he said that in the Border Wilderness Region, our Gu Yuan Tribe is heaven, the most powerful tribe of all, unmatched by any other!’"

"Mu Qing did not respond directly but instead repeated Xiao Chen’s words, pausing briefly before continuing, ’Under our Gu Yuan Tribe’s control, the entire Border Wilderness Domain is in our hands.’"

"’For three years, it hasn’t been just the medium-tier tribes; even the lowest-tier tribes have strengthened our control. The entire Border Wilderness Domain has long been woven into an invisible net, ready to detect any appearance or the slightest anomaly from them."

"The two women sat under the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Tree, enjoying their Spirit Tea amidst the lingering mist, a picture of contentment. The tribe had long since established a systematic order, accumulating strength methodically."

"Setting aside this issue, the two shifted their conversation to another matter."

"’Speaking of which, in these recent days, the demand for elixirs that heal injuries in the Ancient Desolation World has outstripped the supply. Those veterans who have withdrawn from the Hollow Void Battlefield have virtually swept through the entire trade areas of Ancient Desolation, pushing the Hundred Herbs Hall’s Spirit Medicine supply to its limits.’"

"Nianhua’s voice sounded, overseeing Ancient Desolation World despite it being on track needed her attention."

"’I’ve already transferred a large quantity of Spirit Medicine from the Mountain and River Herb Garden to the Hundred Herbs Hall for concocting elixirs, to make up for the deficiency in Ancient Desolation World. Moreover, I have also ordered the Hundred Herbs Hall to open a new Secret Realm for the cultivation of Spirit Medicine.’"

Mu Qing’s light reply indicated that even though she was not directly involved in the affairs of the Ancient Ruins trade, she would naturally be informed by warriors.

As Mu Qing and Nianhua were savoring the fragrant tea and chatting with each other, a large number of Human War Soldiers streamed into the trading area of the Ancient Desolation World,

These were a group of Human War Soldiers who had recently been able to catch their breath after battling against non-human races outside the Hollow Void World.

After a bloody fight, having hunted a large number of the non-human races, their Ancient Ruins Tokens stored a vast amount of non-human flesh and blood, which was enough for them to acquire a considerable amount of spiritual pills and armor in the Ancient Desolation World.

"I’ve long heard that the mysterious Ancient Desolation World is fraught with Heaven and Earth’s Vital Energy, just like a Cave Heaven Blessed Land. It’s a pity that I had never obtained an Ancient Ruins Token before. Finally, my wish has come true. I really wonder which king’s generous deed this was!"

Among the crowd, a warrior of the Revered Realm showed a look of emotion. This Revered Warrior wore blood-colored armor which, in its seams, had traces of blood seeping in, belonging to the non-human races.

Although Xiao Chen secretly scattered the Ancient Ruins Tokens across the Hollow Void Battlefield, facing tens of millions of Human War Soldiers, several hundred thousand Ancient Ruins Tokens were like a drop in the ocean, and the ones who managed to get them were still in the minority!

These tokens could only be acquired by other warriors after the original tribe people had fallen without the tokens being damaged, which clearly indicated that this Revered Warrior had just obtained an Ancient Ruins Token from someone else.

At this moment, amidst the fields of spirit rice, figures bustled about, and a pungent smell of blood began to rise among the freshly-scented spirit rice.

Having gone through bloody battles, these incoming Human War Soldiers carried a mixed intense aura of slaughter, which made them easy to identify. Moreover, any Warrior coming from the Hollow Void World would unanimously receive a gesture of salute from the warriors of the Ancient Desolation World.

The warriors who appeared in the trading area of the Ancient Desolation World were randomly teleported; some might directly land in the central trading area, while others might find themselves outside the city. Hence, there’s no need to panic when suddenly encountering warriors while traveling through the Ancient Desolation World.

Because every warrior feels momentarily lost the first time they enter the Ancient Desolation World!

Various spirit rice seedlings shone with divine brilliance, growing vigorously. Blue like the ocean, with their movements, they resembled roiling waves, their moisture glistening. Fiery red like blazes, as they burned, they seemed like the red glow of flaming clouds, their heat surging. The golden light was dazzling and sharp, with their ups and downs resembling the edge of a sharp blade, making some of the weaker warriors feel their eyes burning.

Spirit rice.

So many spirit fields, all growing with spirit rice!

Dense plantings of Terrestrial Spirit Rice dazzled the Human War Soldiers who had entered the Ancient Desolation World. For a Heavy Tower Realm Martial Warrior using them as food, these spirit rice could subtly enhance their power, and consuming this spirit rice could greatly benefit the healing of injuries on a warrior’s body.

Stretching as far as the eye could see, they spread out across the entire Ancient Desolation World like a myriad of rosy clouds.

Even those warriors who were not visiting this trading place for the first time couldn’t help but reveal a look of shock each time they witnessed such a scene!

This newly arrived Revered Mighty One paused for a moment, then flew towards the central trading area, only to be stopped two miles from the center.

Two miles away lay a huge Open-air Feasting Area, filled with the rich aroma of food.

"This Sir, our master has declared that any hero who has shed blood in the Hollow Void World to defend our race deserves a grand banquet prepared specially by our Ancient Desolation World as a tribute to the brave warriors!"

"Oh?" The warrior who was stopped, initially a bit impatient, looked down at the feasting area below and couldn’t hide his shock at the next moment!

A grand gesture, it was certainly a grand gesture!
