With a gloomy look, Elephant Lieshan, the head of the Treasure Elephant Tribe, looked at the aggressive actions of the other three tribes in the palace with a cold look in his eyes. He had not imagined that he would not be able to catch the fox this time; instead, he would be in trouble. The news about the primordial stone lode was known by the Treasure Elephant Tribe first. Unexpectedly, the primordial stone lode had long disappeared and was framed.
One could well imagine what he was feeling right now. In Megarock Valley, his Treasure Elephant Tribe was one of the four overlord tribes. It could be said that they were the sky of Megarock Valley. Someone was slapping his tribe in the face, slapping his Elephant Splitting Mountain in the face.
More than two hundred years ago, ever since he took over the position of the chief from the previous generation, he had followed the will of his ancestors to hide his strength, bide his time, and firmly defend his territory. He did not easily expand his territory, nor did he annex other human tribes.
Even so, in the past two hundred years, his Bao Xiang Clan had destroyed three human clans in a row, destroyed their foundations, and devoured their people. Now, when he was in control of the Bao Xiang Clan, the Bao Xiang Clan had a territory of eight thousand miles from east to west, with a population of three hundred thousand, and over a hundred vassal clans. Within his territory, there were hundreds of small clans that depended on him. This was the great power he inherited from his ancestors!
The general trend that could crush numerous tribes in the Huge Rock Valley!
Boom!
In a split second, a chilly qi abruptly arrived in the palace, which contained a bit fury. At once, everybody in the palace felt being in a quagmire; especially the elders of Yinglin Tribe, Thunderbolt Tribe and Youxiong Tribe, who felt that their meridians became blocked. Their surging battle qi became stagnant at this moment while their faces turned as red as fire.
Ang!
However, that was not the end of it. In an instant, a resounding rumble resounded from within Mount Mammoth Lie. That sound contained boundless might and fury, and it was even more domineering and sharp. It contained a supreme aura that could suppress the world, and it smashed towards the three of them.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
In the next moment, the palace was covered with blood. Yinglin, Lei Ting and the three elders of the Youxiong tribe, who had fallen into the quagmire, were sent flying backward as if they had hit an invisible giant. Their chests were visibly dented while crystal blood splashed in all directions, dying the ground of the palace red.
"Hmph!"
Killing intent shot out of Mammoth Splitter's eyes. As a patriarch who controlled the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, how could he allow others to challenge his dignity? Moreover, these people had come to his home. However, as a wily old fox who had roamed the Great Wilderness for over two hundred years, he knew how to act appropriately. He knew that even if these people were arrogant and despotic, no matter how overbearing the Bao Xiang Tribe was, he couldn't kill them. He wasn't arrogant enough to think that the Bao Xiang Tribe could single-handedly fight against the other three overlord tribes.
Of course, the Treasure Elephant Tribe had to pay a certain price for provoking them. If it was any other tribe, the three people lying in the hall would already be corpses!
"Humph!
How dare you act so presumptuously in the Bao Xiang Tribe's palace? The three of you aren't qualified! "
The Elders of the three great tribes had already been heavily injured by Mount Xianglie's gaze. They lay paralyzed on the ground, unable to stand up at all. With just a cold snort, three late Blood Refining Realm cultivators were sent flying with heavy injuries, unable to resist at all. One could imagine just how powerful Mount Xianglie was.
Cough, cough, cough!
Blood continued to flow from the corners of their mouths. The fear in their eyes didn't dissipate for a long time. At this moment, they finally realized how terrifying the middle-aged man in front of them was, and how ridiculous and ignorant their previous aggressiveness was.
"For the sake of Youxiong Wudi, Lei Yue, and Ying Xiaotian, I will punish you today. Go back and tell them that the Bao Xiang Tribe didn't obtain this Yuan Stone lode. If they don't believe me, tell them to come in person. I will definitely accompany them to the end!
My Bao Xiang Tribe is not a place that a few lowly warriors can provoke. Today, I will use your cheap lives to show the other tribes of the great wilderness that the Bao Xiang Tribe's three thousand years of dignity cannot be blasphemed! "
Mammoth Splitter's words were filled with killing intent. When he inadvertently glanced at the three people, they couldn't help but tremble.
Youxiong Wudi, Lei Yue, and Ying Xiaotian were the chiefs of the You Xiong Tribe, the Thunder Tribe, and the Shadow Forest Tribe. They were warriors of the same level as Mammoth Splitter. In Mammoth Splitter's eyes, there were only a few people in the entire Giant Rock Valley who could stand on equal footing with him. This was because he was Mammoth Splitter. This was the source of his confidence!
"Get out of here!"
Hearing Mammoth Splitter's words, the elders of the three underground tribes immediately felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They hurriedly got up from the ground, staggered out of the hall, and rushed out of the Bao Xiang Tribe without any hesitation.
Suddenly, the hall fell into silence. Although Mammoth Splitter had forcefully driven the elders of the three underground tribes out of the Bao Xiang Tribe, the Yuan Stone lode that was originally at the tip of their tongues had been excavated by a mysterious person. Moreover, the Bao Xiang Tribe had to bear the blame. How could they swallow this insult?
Perhaps because of Mammoth Splitter's outburst, the elders of the Bao Xiang Tribe stopped fighting. After all, they knew that their chief was on the verge of exploding in anger. If they fought at an inopportune time, it would only further enrage their chief. Moreover, they needed to find out who was framing their Gu Yuan Tribe. In the face of a challenge to the dignity of their tribe that had existed for three thousand years, they knew what was more important.
"Patriarch, the dignity of my Bao Xiang Tribe was forged by the blood blades of our ancestors. The dignity of my Bao Xiang Tribe cannot be provoked. We must find out who the treacherous person that deliberately framed my Bao Xiang Tribe is, crush his bones and scatter his ashes, raze his tribe to the ground, and sever his bloodline inheritance!"
The Third Elder of the Bao Xiang Tribe was a black-haired old man. His aura was as heavy as ink, and there was an indescribable aura around him that blended into the air of the entire hall. His black hair was shiny, and if it weren't for the wrinkles on his face, one wouldn't be able to see any signs of age on his body.
"Exactly, Lord Patriarch, how can the dignity of my Treasure Elephant Tribe be blasphemed by others? If we don't drag out the person who framed us, then not only would it bring shame to our ancestors, it would even cause the other tribes in Gargantuan Gorge to laugh at our Treasure Elephant Tribe for being useless!"
"You have humiliated our tribe, you must wash it with your blood!"
Seeing the Third Elder speak, the other elders in the hall began to clamor one after another. It seemed like they would not stop until they caught the person who framed them.
Without paying attention to the others, the third elder continued to speak, "Lord Clan Leader, this primordial stone mine is thirteen miles long, and its quality is at the middle level. At the very least, it can produce hundreds of thousands of primordial stones. For such a large amount of primordial stones to disappear without anyone knowing, in this subordinate's opinion, there are only two ways!"
"The first method is that these spirit stones weren't transported away after they were extracted, and they were concealed by this mysterious person in the vicinity of the spirit stone vein. Moreover, this mysterious person intended to wait for this matter to die down before finding another way to transport them away!"
"The second method is that this mysterious person possesses a storage Magic Treasure, and it's a rather high level storage Magic Treasure!
I'm more inclined to this guess! "
A storage Magic Treasure was a Magic Treasure that could store a few hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. Even if every single spirit stone was only the size of a child's palm, when a few hundreds of thousands of spirit stones were piled up, it would be the size of a small mountain. So, how could a storage Magic Treasure that was capable of storing such a large amount be ordinary?
Impossible!
As soon as the Third Elder's words fell, not only the Elders of the Elephant Gem Tribe in the hall, but even the Patriarch of the Elephant Gem Tribe, who was sitting at the head of the hall, was shocked. What was a storage Magic Treasure? To put it bluntly, it was a legendary existence for most low-rank tribes. Only some large tribes and powerful martial artists would possess such a Magic Treasure, and they wouldn't easily show it to others. Even in the Elephant Gem Tribe, only the Patriarch had a broken storage ring with a space of two to three square feet. This storage ring had been discovered by the ancestors of the Elephant Gem Tribe in the ruins of the Human Race, and it had been passed down from generation to generation.
From this, it could be seen how precious this storage Magic Treasure was to the many martial artists of the Great Wilderness. After all, the martial arts of the Great Wilderness had entered an era of decline. The various ancient books and legacies of the Antiquity Era had long since disappeared in the long river of time. The Human Race could only feel the elegance of the Antiquity Era's Human Race ancestors from the discovered tribal ruins.
Xiang Lieshan frowned and said, "Third Elder, what evidence do you have for saying that this mysterious person has a storage Magic Treasure?"
"Patriarch, even if a powerful martial cultivator were to mine hundreds of thousands of low-grade Primordial Stones and quickly transfer them to another place, it would be impossible to do so in a day, unless they had enough manpower. However, according to the First Elder, there are no signs of large-scale mining in this mine!
Therefore, this subordinate boldly asserts that the person who mined this mine must have a high-quality storage Magic Treasure. "
At this moment, everyone in the hall was deeply attracted by this storage Magic Treasure. Such a huge storage Magic Treasure could already be used as a foundation to suppress the tribe. After all, the Human Race was surrounded by hundreds of races in the Great Wilderness, and the Human Race was constantly in danger. Only by constantly fighting could they survive. At this time, if the tribe had a huge storage Magic Treasure, it could be used to replenish resources and supplies for the warriors. This would save the tribe a lot of precious warriors to be sent to the battlefield.
"Reporting to Patriarch, if the Third Elder's deduction is correct, why did this mysterious person frame our Elephant Gem Tribe?"
"Grand Elder, you personally went to this primordial stone mine. Did you discover any suspicious people?"
"Reporting to Lord Patriarch, perhaps the person who framed our Treasure Elephant Tribe is someone else, and not that mysterious person!
Half a month ago, the young patriarch of the Kui Shui Tribe came to my tribe to ask for help. He said that there was a conflict between the Kui Shui Tribe and the neighboring Gu Yuan Tribe, and that the Gu Yuan Tribe is the actual controller of the Yuan Stone Vein. By the time I arrived, I was a step too late. The patriarch of the Kui Shui Tribe had already been killed by Gu Yuan, and the Yuan Stone Vein disappeared not long after. I believe that it is related to the Gu Yuan Tribe. "
Xiang Mo recounted the cause and effect of the matter again. Of course, he automatically omitted the part where he was seriously injured by Xiao Chen. At this moment, his hatred for Xiao Chen was endless. To him, being seriously injured by a young man was a humiliation that needed to be washed away with the blood of all the clansmen of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
"Oh, could it be that even the First Elder couldn't save the Patriarch of the Kuishui Tribe? Looks like the Gu Yuan Tribe is quite strong!"
"Yes, the Gu Yuan Tribe is arrogant and doesn't respect our Elephant Gem Tribe at all. They clearly know that the Kuishui Tribe is a vassal of our Elephant Gem Tribe, but they still forcefully annihilated the tribe. This is a challenge to the dignity of our Elephant Gem Tribe. I implore Patriarch to gather troops and annihilate them to protect the dignity of our Elephant Gem Tribe. Otherwise, it will disappoint the numerous tribes that are vassal to our Elephant Gem Tribe!"
"Damn it, our Elephant Gem Tribe has been concealing our strength and biding our time for a hundred years. It seems that many tribes in the Giant Rock Valley have forgotten the dignity of our Elephant Gem Tribe. Not only did someone dare to deliberately frame our Elephant Gem Tribe, but now some small tribes don't care about the Elephant Gem Tribe at all and annihilate our vassal tribe. Patriarch, it seems that we have been silent for too long. Some ignorant people don't take our Elephant Gem Tribe seriously anymore!"
"We reconsider and implore Patriarch to gather troops and annihilate this small tribe that doesn't know the immensity of the Heaven and Earth. Let the numerous tribes in the Giant Rock Valley once again experience the supreme strength of the 3,000-year-old Elephant Gem Tribe. It's not something that a small tribe can provoke. Those who dare to provoke our Elephant Gem Tribe must pay the price in blood!"
At this moment, many of the elders in the hall nodded in agreement. A mere remote tribe with a little bit of strength dared to provoke the dignity of the Elephant Gem Tribe. It was really intolerable. Even if they wiped it out from the vast wilderness, the middle-ranked Iron Hoof Tribe wouldn't take it seriously. The Elephant Gem Tribe had the strength to do so.
Moreover, most of the people in the Gu Yuan Tribe were from scattered tribes that had been subdued or absorbed. They didn't have a deep sense of belonging. In the face of the formidable strength of the Elephant Gem Tribe, it was easy for them to become disloyal and disloyal in the face of death. They were nothing to worry about. The Elephant Gem Tribe could easily destroy their foundation and exterminate their tribe!
"All right!"
After a while, Elephant Lieshan, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly calmed down and said, "Is the Gu Yuan Tribe that the Great Elder mentioned the small tribe located north of the Black Cloud Mountain that has been established for less than 800 years? The patriarch is a young man named Xiao Chen!"
"Patriarch, you know about it!"
Hearing Elephant Lieshan speak so clearly about the Gu Yuan Tribe, Xiang Mo immediately became flustered.
Elephant Lieshan didn't seem to care about Xiang Mo's reaction. He continued, "Half a month ago, Elephant Lieshan, who went to Duanmu City to participate in the martial arts exchange, sent back a message saying that he had a conflict with the patriarch of a small tribe named Xiao Chen. With the intervention of a few other large tribes, this arrogant Xiao Chen made a duel agreement with the Elephant Gem Tribe!
Therefore, in accordance with the Human Clan's rules, the Elephant Gem Tribe will not attack the Gu Yuan Tribe before the duel begins. "
"What?
A duel agreement? "
"Haha … Ignorant child, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Elephant Lieshan's voice echoed in the hall.
However, many of the elders in the hall were already laughing loudly. Even Xiang Mo, who thought that the patriarch had found some clues, was laughing loudly. The Gu Yuan Tribe might be strong, but it was nothing in front of the Elephant Gem Tribe. This duel agreement was suicidal!
"All right!"
Elephant Lieshan waved his hand and said indifferently, "The Elephant Gem Tribe respects the Human Clan's rules. Before the duel begins, we will not personally attack the Gu Yuan Tribe. However, the Elephant Gem Tribe has over a hundred tribes under our command, so we can't be sure. Great Elder, I'll leave this matter to you!
I want everyone in the Gu Yuan Tribe to live in fear and be unable to extricate themselves from it!
I want to see if Shadow Forest, the protector of the Gu Yuan Tribe, dares to accept this karma. The Elephant Gem Tribe has been biding its time and accumulating strength for hundreds of years. Now, we have a strong army. This Boulder Valley is too small, and there are too many of the four overlord tribes. It's time for a change. Let's start with the Gu Yuan Tribe! "
