Time passed day by day. The entire Gu Yuan Tribe showed signs of flourishing with each passing day. Under Xiao Chen's arrangements, the Gu Yuan Tribe took out the tribe's stockpile of resources to settle down the newly submitted tribesmen.
As the Gu Yuan Tribe's chiliarch left the tribe and went into the vast wilderness, he subdued some human combat divisions within a radius of tens of thousands of miles and brought them into the Gu Yuan Tribe to increase the number of tribesmen and the number of guardian soldiers.
Finally, in the last ten days of the month, five or six human combat divisions migrated into the Gu Yuan Tribe. The total population was about 60,000 people, including 80 centurions. However, there were only four Blood Refining Realm warriors. Xiao Chen did not favor one over the other and appointed the four Blood Refining Realm warriors as nominal elders or chiliarchs of the tribe.
Now, the Gu Yuan Tribe had nearly a hundred thousand clansmen. Such a large number of clansmen also caused a commotion in the Gu Yuan Tribe. In order to prevent any accidents, Xiao Chen ordered all the clansmen who were above the middle stage of the Bone Tempering Realm to be included in the clan's guardian soldiers and scattered with the clan soldiers in the original tribe.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
During this month, only three tribes came to the Gu Yuan Tribe. Not every tribe was willing to be annexed by other tribes. After all, there were many people who would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Xiao Chen did not force them. With the current territory of the Gu Yuan Tribe, absorbing more than 100,000 tribesmen was already the bottom line. The land was too barren and could not afford to raise them!
Fortunately, the Magpie Mountain Tribe was eventually absorbed into the Gu Yuan Tribe by Xue Sha. More than 20,000 tribesmen and three Blood Refining Realm warriors migrated along with the carcass of a fierce beast that was 15 feet tall. It was the Two-star fierce beast, the Double-Horned Giant Lizard, that had wreaked havoc in the Magpie Mountain Tribe. Xue Sha personally entered the wilderness of Magpie Mountain and chased after it for several days before killing it and bringing it back to the Gu Yuan Tribe. A Two-star fierce beast could be said to be full of treasures.
At the end of the month, the chiliarchs who had gone out to recruit other tribes had all returned. This meant that the expansion of the Gu Yuan Tribe had come to an end. In more than a month, the number of tribesmen in the Gu Yuan Tribe had continued to grow and finally exceeded the number of 150,000 people. There were more than 165,000 people.
Originally, there were not enough houses in the tribe. Bluestone houses were built according to the terrain, crisscrossing and crisscrossing. On some idle hills, green stone gardens were built. There were also rows of houses scattered throughout the tribe. Under Xiao Chen's deliberate arrangement, the tribes that had been absorbed were settled separately.
As the number of tribesmen increased, so did the number of people in the tribe. The tribe became more and more empty in the tribe. The voices became noises. of noises. and noises.
Because of this, Xiao Chen ordered Huang Liang to patrol the tribe with the soldiers from the Guard Hall. The soldiers from the Guard Hall were the only ones who had not submitted to the tribe. Whenever there was any unusual activity, they would suppress it by force. This was a great deterrent to some people.
On the top floor of the stone tower, although Xiao Chen's Soul Perception was not strong enough to cover the dozens of miles of the tribe's city, many voices still could not escape Xiao Chen's ears.
He also knew that this was a process of transformation that the Gu Yuan Tribe had to go through after forcibly integrating so many tribes. With so many tribes being absorbed into the Gu Yuan Tribe, it was inevitable that some people would want to compete with each other and fight for favor. There were even some who were arrogant and disobeyed orders. They thought that they had their own differences and were unwilling to submit to the Gu Yuan Tribe. They wanted to take advantage of the chaos to plot something!
Fortunately, to Xiao Chen's relief, it seemed that many of the Gu Yuan Tribe's tribesmen had not been involved in this. It was just that they had not fully acknowledged these tribesmen who had just joined the Gu Yuan Tribe. They were even a little unfamiliar with them.
However, how could Xiao Chen let them do as they wished? The integration of tribes was a painstaking effort. It needed time to glue the people together. Unity of the people's hearts was not something that could be achieved overnight.
The integration of so many tribes had also brought some benefits to the Gu Yuan Tribe. There was no lack of young warriors among them. They were all outstanding warriors in these tribes. Although they had not reached the Blood Refining Realm, they were all at the level of sergeants and centurions. Warriors at this level could be said to be the mainstay of the tribe. They were the guarantee for the tribe's upper-class warriors to prosper.
With more than a hundred thousand tribesmen, Xiao Chen made adjustments to the tribe's Guardian Soldiers. Other than the Guard Hall's thousand-man team, which remained unchanged, the new Guardian Soldiers formed by the tribesmen of the other tribes and the original thousand-man team of the Gu Yuan Tribe were scattered and merged to form new Guardian Soldiers.
At the same time, in order to give the tribe a chance to recuperate and learn from the lessons of the past, Xiao Chen increased the qualification to join the Guardian Soldiers from the early stage of the Bone Tempering Realm to the middle stage of the Bone Tempering Realm. Even so, the Gu Yuan Tribe still formed six thousand-man combat masters. Although the number of soldiers did not increase by much, their strength had increased by a lot. Xiao Chen believed that if the need arose, the Gu Yuan Tribe could quickly form a ten-thousand-man combat master without a problem.
At midnight, in the southeast of the Gu Yuan Tribe, the main hall, which was originally used to offer sacrifices to the Purple Snake Tribe, was brightly lit with raging flames. Now, Xiao Chen had specially arranged for several retired veterans to burn incense and offer sacrifices to the Purple Snake Tribe every day, day after day.
At this moment, the main hall was once again shrouded by an invisible aura, emitting a touch of green light. This green light was shadowless and formless, exuding an irresistible aura.
Boom!
With a roar, an invisible aura condensed in the air above the main hall and gathered in the main hall. After a few breaths, a strong power of vitality suddenly erupted in the main hall, rippling in all directions of the tribe, awakening countless warriors in the tribe. This vitality was vast and violent.
At this moment, countless warriors in the north, south, and west of the tribe opened their eyes. Some were proud, some were envious, some were in awe, and some were gloomy.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Dozens of beams of light instantly streaked across the sky and arrived outside the great hall. When they saw Xiao Chen standing alone outside the great hall, they bowed and stood to the side. At this moment, there were twenty-seven Blood Refining cultivators here, including the eleven chiliarchs who had just submitted to the Gu Yuan Tribe. Of these ten-odd people, the strongest was only in the middle stage of the Blood Refining Realm. They were the elders of the Magpie Mountain Tribe. However, they were getting old, and their Qi and blood had started to decline. There was no hope for them to break through.
At this moment, the dozen or so people all had shocked expressions on their faces. They could feel the Blood Qi erupting from the great hall, causing them to tremble in fear. This was especially true for the Mid Blood Refining Realm martial artist. The higher his cultivation, the more profound the aura he felt. The aura in the great hall was clearly the realm he dreamed of breaking through.
Boom!
After a moment, the stone door suddenly opened. Shi Ya, whose entire body was emitting a scorching aura, stepped out from the large hall. His originally large body had grown another foot taller at this moment. He was over two meters tall. As he moved, a swift and fierce aura surged out.
"Reporting to Lord Patriarch, Shi Ya did not disappoint you and made a breakthrough!"
Xiao Chen signaled Shi Ya to stand up. At this moment, he passed the inheritance of the Earth-shaking Hammer, one of Venerable Purple Snake's eight generals, to Shi Ya. Shi Ya did not disappoint him. He obtained the inheritance, condensed his battle name, and made a breakthrough to the late Blood Refining Realm.
Xiao Chen had never been stingy with his direct subordinates in nurturing them. Aside from the Purple Serpent Sword's inheritance, which Mu Qing had obtained, the other two Inherited Battle Weapons, the Earth-Shaking River Hammer and the Blood-Robed Marquis' inheritance, Xiao Chen had allowed his direct subordinates, Tie Wen and the others, to acknowledge them as their masters. However, he had not expected that aside from the Earth-Shaking River Hammer's inheritance, there would be no reaction from the Blood-Robed Marquis' inheritance.
Fortunately, there was more than one shortcut to increase one's strength. Xiao Chen distributed the blood pills he obtained from the Otaku remnant to Tie Wen, Huang Liang, and Ding Shan. Now that their strength had broken through to the mid Blood Refining Realm, it was enough to suppress the current Gu Yuan Tribe.
"Shi Ya, you can make up for your mistake tonight. Breaking through to the late Blood Refining Realm caused such a huge commotion, and made the elders and chiliarchs of the tribe unable to rest in the middle of the night. You must apologize to them later!"
Waving his hand to signal Shi Ya to stand up, Xiao Chen looked at the Blood Refining Realm warriors in front of him and said with a smile. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
However, when it fell into the ears of these warriors, it was so ear-piercing!
