Gu Yuan Tribe's mountain city.
The huge mountain city made of black iron was bustling with activity. Tall stone houses and stone buildings were built along the mountain, and the corners of the buildings could be vaguely seen among the dense ancient trees.
Beautiful young girls walked with light footsteps, either carrying jade trays made of white jade or hugging huge bluestone wine jars. They passed through the mountain path. Strange flowers and plants grew on both sides of the path, exuding a delicate fragrance. The young girls walked in the middle of the path like butterflies passing through flowers.
Nearly a hundred people were sitting in the majestic hall on the ancient mountain in the center of the tribe. These people were the envoys sent by some of the tribes within five thousand miles of the Gu Yuan Tribe to participate in the Gu Yuan Tribe's establishment.
Of course, not all of these envoys had come alone. Some of the young talents of the tribes had come with their tribe leaders and elders. As a result, there were nearly a hundred people from the thirty tribes present. Furthermore, the tribes that had come to congratulate the Gu Yuan Tribe's establishment were still arriving.
At this moment, on the white jade table in front of every martialist, the young girls of the Gu Yuan Tribe had presented them with exotic fruits, aged wine, and some high-grade fierce beast meat. Just the fierce beast meat alone was the essence of the Two-star fierce beasts that the Gu Yuan Tribe's warriors had hunted in the depths of the desolate mountain forest. The meat was delicious and contained abundant Yuan Qi. Even a Blood Refinement Realm martialist would benefit greatly from eating it.
The atmosphere in the great hall was very harmonious. The people seated here were all people with status in the various tribes. They all had extraordinary cultivations. In fact, most of the cultivators knew each other; some were even old friends. After all, this was only a five-thousand-kilometer radius of land. The various tribes were all close to each other.
At this moment, Xiao Chen had already returned to the two tribes from the ancient mountain in the periphery of the Gu Yuan Mountain Range. The Sword Island Master, Jian Wuying, had also been invited by Xiao Chen to participate in the Gu Yuan Tribe's Sacrificial Ceremony.
Previously, at the foot of the ancient mountain, Xiao Chen's fierce shout had made this sincere and straightforward martialist feel like he had been hit in the head. It was as if his decades of persistence had collapsed.
Not only that, but Jian Wuying had also told Xiao Chen about the few large tribes in the central region of the Fallen Dragon Ridge, as well as the dozens of other tribes that would send experts on the day of the establishment of the tribe, preparing to nip the Gu Yuan Tribe in the bud in one fell swoop. He had also vaguely mentioned the secret meeting between the seven overlord factions in the Fallen Dragon Ridge.
Indeed, it was as Xiao Chen and the many cultivators in the tribe had guessed. The Ancient Yuan Tribe's expansion and establishment of the Luck Tribe had the greatest impact on the tribes in the central region of the Fallen Dragon Territory, where Ao Shan and the other tribes had dominated the entire territory for thousands of years.
For thousands of years, the Ao Shan Tribe and the other large tribes could be said to have treated the entire Fallen Dragon Ridge as their own backyard. They were extremely vicious and called themselves the kings of this land, like local tyrants. Although they did not have the name of a superior military division, they had the strength of a superior military division. They extorted and plundered the other tribes in the Fallen Dragon Ridge at will, and if there was any resistance, the tribe would be exterminated.
For thousands of years, the few large tribes had supported countless puppet tribes. After all, planting trusted subordinates to achieve the goal of controlling other tribes was a common method used by some human military divisions in the vast wilderness. Perhaps the Gu Yuan Tribe would do the same in the future.
The martialists drank fine wine to their heart's content. From time to time, they would discuss martial arts and learn from each other's understandings, hoping that they could integrate the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and improve their martial arts.
There were even martialists discussing the remnants of the Demon Clan in the Thousand Demon Mountain Range, intentionally or unintentionally. However, many martialists had already learned from the Gu Yuan Tribe that the Thousand Demon Mountain Range, which had originally been occupied by the Demon Clan, had been renamed to the Gu Yuan Mountain Range after the Gu Yuan Tribe had recovered it.
"A few days ago, we found a small group of Demon Clan remnants hiding in a small mountain range near our Red Wood Tribe. The strongest among them was only at the Small Demon Realm, but they were all slaughtered by our tribe's soldiers. This is all thanks to the Gu Yuan Tribe, who annihilated the entire Demon Clan in the Thousand Demon Mountain Range. Otherwise, who knows how much torture we would have suffered!"
As soon as the martialists of the Red Wood Tribe finished speaking, they immediately resonated with the other tribes in the great hall. The human military divisions in the great hall had been close to the Thousand Demon Mountain Range, and it could be said that they had become food for the remnants of the Demon Clan. Almost every year, the experts of the Demon Clan would descend upon the tribes and forcibly capture hundreds of humans as their food.
Now that the rampant Demon Clan had been annihilated, these tribes felt grateful to the Gu Yuan Tribe. Who would dare to say that these tribesmen who had been captured over the years did not have their own blood relatives?
"The remnants of the Demon Clan have occupied our Human Realm and wreaked havoc. However, they haven't met a true opponent yet. Now that I've seen the elite warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe in formation, killing the remnants of the Demon Clan won't be a problem!"
At this moment, everyone could not help but think of the more than 2,000 veterans in fiery red armor in front of the mountain city. They were true warriors forged from blood and iron. Some martialists even involuntarily raised their heads and looked out of the great hall.
"It is said that on that day of the battle, the entire Thousand Demon Mountain Range was filled with thunder. The sky was dark and the earth was dark. Even the Green Qilin River was dyed blood red. Countless corpses of the Demon Clan floated on the surface of the river, blocking the flow of the water. Countless corpses of the Demon Clan flowed with the river. The corpses of the Demon Clan were literally thousands of miles away, and blood flowed like rivers!"
"That's right. Our Red Rain Army is located downstream of the Green Qilin River. The scene of blood flowing like a river is really rare. The entire river was covered with corpses, and it took more than 10 days for the blood-red river to return to its original color!"
"It's a pity that we didn't have the chance to see the many elite soldiers of the Gu Yuan Tribe with our own eyes. Tens of thousands of the Demon Clan were killed, and only a few escaped into the endless mountains of the Ancient Desolate Forest. I didn't expect that this would happen to these beasts!"
At this moment, the chiefs of the Eagle Tribe and the other two tribes were sitting together. They could only smile bitterly as they listened to the loud greetings of the surrounding martialists. The three tribes had nearly 3,000 soldiers, and four chiliarchs had become captives of the Gu Yuan Tribe. If they had known that the Gu Yuan Tribe had such combat power, they would not have dared to offend the Gu Yuan Tribe even if they were given a hundred guts.
"Back then, the Three Great Demon Kings of the Thousand Demon Mountain Range were so arrogant. They regarded the human martialists as nothing and allowed them to plunder as food. However, they did not expect that the Gu Yuan Tribe would have an even stronger martialist who killed the Three Great Demon Kings on the spot. It is said that the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape King was beheaded by an elder of the Gu Yuan Tribe!"
What!
Everyone was shocked. The new trend was like blood. The famous Demon King of the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape had been beheaded and killed on the spot. How satisfying was this? Even the wild and rampant Demon Race had such a day!
