To the scattered tribe members in the hall, the Gu Yuan Tribe's leader, Xiao Chen, was a legend. Of course, to the original members of the Gu Yuan Tribe, their leader, Xiao Chen, was the tribe's legend. Everything he had done was a living legend!
Following the legend of Xiao Chen, they had migrated to the Gu Yuan Tribe with their clansmen and finally joined the Gu Yuan Tribe after going through many hardships. They had not expected that the Gu Yuan Tribe would fall into a crisis before they could even celebrate.
After being in exile for a long time in the Vast Wilderness, these scattered tribe members would flee whenever they encountered danger. This caused them to feel a strong sense of crisis. Therefore, when the Gu Yuan Tribe was in danger, this narrow-minded mindset once again gained the upper hand. They wanted to secretly cheat on each other.
Little did they know that they would be bitten by a tiger if they asked for its skin!
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the clansmen kneeling on the ground, especially the few people who were tied up by beast tendons. Perhaps it was because they knew what would happen to them, but their faces were ashen. Their eyes were unfocused and there was a trace of fear in their depths.
After a long time, Xiao Chen finally opened his mouth and asked everyone to stand up. After everyone stood up, Xiao Chen did not speak again. It was as if he did not know that there were people below him. He sat on his seat with his eyes closed and actually pretended to sleep.
"This!
… "
Immediately, there was an uproar. Everyone turned to look at the others. They were somewhat at a loss and did not know what to say next.
After a long time, someone finally could not help but say, "Reporting to the leader, we have sinned. After joining the Gu Yuan Tribe, we have not hunted for a day's worth of food for our clansmen. Instead, we have people who are rebellious. Please punish us, leader!"
Everyone was immersed in this gloomy atmosphere, waiting for Xiao Chen to speak. Suddenly, a thunderous explosion resounded in everyone's ears. "Bastard!
What is the reason? Hurry up and tell me. "
"Lord Patriarch, we admire Lord Patriarch's reputation and specially led our clansmen to come here from thousands of miles away. Fortunately, Lord Patriarch took us in. However, the clan suddenly encountered a crisis. In order to defend the clan against the strong enemy, we neglected the actions of some of our clansmen. They actually dared to collude with the enemy. However, it is all thanks to Lord Patriarch's wisdom that we discovered their plot. Please forgive us for not being strict with our subordinates!"
"The Gu Yuan Tribe has been around for 800 years. The only rule we have is that those who betray the tribe will be killed without mercy!"
"However, since all of you have joined the Gu Yuan Tribe, you are all members of the Gu Yuan Tribe. The Patriarch has always treated all members equally. However, these b * stards dared to betray the tribe, which means that they have become enemies with the entire tribe. Everyone in the Gu Yuan Tribe will punish them."
Xiao Chen's words were sonorous and powerful, exuding an endless chill. However, he suddenly changed the topic. "However, since these are all your clansmen, I will leave them to you. I believe that all of you will definitely give an explanation to me and the 20,000 members of the Gu Yuan Tribe!"
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, everyone was dumbfounded. They had not expected that Xiao Chen would not care about the bewitching potion they had fed him and would instead throw this hot potato back to them.
What a good plan to sow discord. These clansmen who had secret dealings with other clansmen, even if it was not the intention of the leaders, it was done under their tacit consent. Originally, handing them over to Xiao Chen to deal with had already caused a huge commotion among their own clansmen. If these people died in their hands, how were they going to lead their clansmen in the future? How could the clansmen support a leader who could throw his own clansmen out to hide from the calamity at any time?
This was also what Xiao Chen had deliberately done. He wanted to sow discord between these new members of the scattered tribes and the leaders of their respective tribes. Only by gradually separating these people from their original leaders could they truly integrate into the Gu Yuan Tribe. Even if these people could settle this matter this time, a rift had already been formed. Xiao Chen had plenty of ways to turn this rift into a chasm.
As for the leaders of these scattered tribes, to be honest, Xiao Chen did not think much of them. What he needed were ordinary humans. As the leader of a tribe and an alchemist, as long as the population of the tribe increased, it would be easy for him to nurture cultivators.
In the Gu Yuan Tribe, Xiao Chen did not want a tribe within a tribe to divide the huge Gu Yuan Tribe into several factions. As long as these people knew their place, he would not kill them.
Looking at the sullen faces below, Xiao Chen acted like he did not notice them. He continued to speak, "Everyone, are you going to disobey this Clan Chief's orders?"
At that moment, Xiao Chen's tone was filled with killing intent. It seemed like he would suddenly explode in the next second. An invisible aura constantly attacked everyone's hearts.
As Xiao Chen pressed on, the people below had no choice but to express their stance. Looking at Xiao Chen's emotionless expression, they finally felt how terrifying Xiao Chen was. How could a young man who had hidden for a year and defeated a strong enemy be simple?
"I will definitely give an explanation to the tens of thousands of tribesmen in the tribe!"
"Good!
Good!
Good! "
Looking at the gloomy people below who did not dare to refute, Xiao Chen immediately said, "Leaders are indeed righteous. I believe you will not disappoint me!"
"Guards!"
After praising them righteously, Xiao Chen suddenly shouted towards the outside of the hall, "Send these people who have betrayed the tribe back to their respective residences and wait for the leaders to deal with them. I have something important to discuss with all of you."
Hearing Xiao Chen's call, several guardian soldiers came in from outside the hall and escorted the tribesmen who were tied up. After the soldiers left the hall and closed the stone door, Xiao Chen turned his gaze to the people in the hall.
"It has been more than a few months since you have led your troops to join my Gu Yuan Tribe. Coincidentally, I wasn't in the tribe a few days ago. However, the Great Elder has already reported to me that you have fought for the tribe when the tribe encountered a crisis. After this crisis is over, I will definitely reward you for your meritorious service!"
"Since we have joined the Gu Yuan Tribe, we are part of the Gu Yuan Tribe. We will die for the tribe!"
"Good!
Since that's the case, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Before the great war, in order to fight against the Mysterious Snake and Kui Tribes, I want to reorganize the troops in the tribe so that we can display our strongest combat strength before the great war!
May I know what you all think? "
When these tribesmen joined the Gu Yuan Tribe, Xiao Chen was coincidentally not in the tribe. The Great Elder discussed with the tribe's stewards and incorporated these brave soldiers into the Gu Yuan Tribe's guardian soldiers. At the same time, in order to appease the leaders of these tribesmen, they were appointed to the positions of sergeants and centurions according to the strength of their tribesmen.
Before one wave had subsided, another wave had arisen. Before the matter of the betrayal of the tribe had subsided, Xiao Chen had extended his hand to the foundation of their tribe and wanted to completely reduce them to ordinary people.
Although Xiao Chen's voice sounded calm, it carried an unquestionable aura. If what had happened earlier was a drastic measure, then this was simply taking their lives. To them, having soldiers in this chaotic world would give them more authority in the tribe.
