In the main hall of the Bright Rain Battalion.
The original stone table and stone chairs had already turned into powder, leaving only a short stone table that was about ten feet in size. At this moment, four warriors were sitting around the table, eating meat and drinking wine.
On the stone table in front of them, there was a pile of meat made from various ferocious beasts. The few of them swallowed the meat in their hands.
At this moment, the entire Bright Rain Battalion had lost its previous vitality. The tribe was immersed in a sorrowful silence. There were even bursts of low weeping coming from some of the stone houses. They were mourning for their loved ones who had entered the Desolate Ancient Forest.
In a stone house in the corner of the tribe, the Brightrain Tribe's chief's face was pale, and his body emitted the strong smell of medicinal herbs. There was only one Blood Refining cultivator beside him. The other six Blood Refining cultivators had long since entered the depths of the Great Desolate under the orders of the stronger cultivators, never to return.
It was not that they had not thought of asking for help from the Shang Nation Gu Yuan. However, every time they sent their tribesmen out of the tribe, they would be intercepted and killed by those few warriors. Then, those warriors would casually kill the tribesmen of the tribe and threaten them not to send any more tribesmen out to report the news.
At this moment, the remaining two Blood Refining Realm warriors of the Bright Rain Tribe had ashen faces. In front of such powerful warriors, the Bright Rain Tribe was just an ant. They did not even have the right to resist. They believed that it would not take long before they were forced to enter the depths of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range by these demons.
Compared to the despair in the tribe, the Bright Rain Tribe was not far from being destroyed!
In contrast to the despair in the tribe, the main hall was filled with people drinking wine and the fragrance of meat.
"The Thunder Calamity Spiritual Wood has disappeared again. There has been no news of it for almost two months. If it appeared in the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range, it is still considered the outer area. If it is in the depths, even if we want to seize this opportunity, I am afraid that we will not be able to enjoy it."
Among the four warriors, the strongest one was at the Fourth Heaven of the High Building Realm. They were all wanderers. This time, for the Thunder Calamity Spiritual Wood, they had joined forces.
"We can only hope that this Thunder Tribulation Spirit Tree doesn't escape to the depths of the Great Wilderness. Even if it's here, it's 30,000 miles to the east of the Great Wilderness, and it's already the domain of pinnacle Three-star savage beasts. With our strength, we can barely resist them."
"Everyone, let's rest for a day today. Tomorrow, we'll take the tribesmen of this tribe into the depths of the mountain. Even if we can't find the Thunder Calamity Spiritual Wood, the rare and precious herbs in the depths of the mountain are also a great fortune. Let these trash explore the way for us. We can get the spiritual herbs and figure out the situation in the mountain forest. Two birds with one stone!"
At this moment, an old man among the four said aloud. The old man's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold. He was the strongest among the four of them. He was at the Fourth Heaven of the Heavy Building Realm, so they all obeyed his orders.
"Brother Nie is right. The ferocious beasts in the depths of the mountain range are too powerful. If it wasn't for these trash attracting the attention of the ferocious beasts, we wouldn't have been able to escape last time."
"That's easy. The only thing this tribe doesn't lack is people. Let them be the bait. As long as we can figure out the distribution of the beasts in the depths of the mountain, these people will die a worthy death."
"That's right!"
"Over the past few days, we've already let the warriors of this tribe enter the areas where the Thunder Calamity Spiritual Wood might appear within a radius of 30,000 miles to the east, but we haven't found anything. We can't just wait like this. It seems that we have to go deeper!"
The four warriors took big bites of the meat in their hands. Finally, one of the warriors said, "This area is the territory of the Gu Yuan Tribe that was promoted to a middle-grade combat division five years ago. The tribe we occupy is a vassal combat division under the Gu Yuan Tribe. If this kind of coercion enrages the Gu Yuan Tribe, won't the gains not make up for the losses?"
"Brother Tang, you're thinking too much. It's just a middle-grade combat division that was promoted a few years ago. What kind of foundation can it have? We have four great warriors at the Heavy Building Realm. Moreover, Brother Nie is a great warrior at the Fourth Heaven of the Heavy Building Realm. Even the chiefs of ordinary high-grade combat divisions are only at the same level. There's no need to worry about the Gu Yuan Tribe!"
"However, there are rumors in the Great Wilderness that the chief of the Gu Yuan Tribe was able to contend against the master of the Spirit Rhino Mountain outside the Desolate Border City five years ago. Who knows if his martial arts cultivation has improved again after five years?"
"Cousin, you're thinking too much. It's not just the few of us who are doing this. Many warriors followed the Thunder Calamity Spiritual Wood to this area this time. The surrounding tribes are probably all occupied by many warriors. So what if the Gu Yuan Tribe is dissatisfied? Would they dare to risk universal condemnation and become enemies with so many warriors?"
"That's right!
If the Gu Yuan Tribe really doesn't know how to appreciate favors and dares to make a move, they'll be going against the law. They'll become enemies with the entire Great Wilderness for the sake of some weak ordinary tribesmen. Even an upper-grade combat division wouldn't dare to do this, let alone a middle-grade combat division like the Gu Yuan Tribe! "
"That's right!
That's right!
If that Gu Yuan brat dares to appear, he'll definitely not be able to return! "
"Is that so?"
Just as the few of them were unscrupulously showing off, a cold voice resounded in the main hall.
The voice was icy cold and seemed to come from all directions of the main hall. Suddenly, the temperature of the entire main hall plummeted. Tiny water droplets in the air turned into ice shards and fell to the ground.
"Who is it!"
"Damn it, who are you!"
The four people who were originally drinking with each other were shocked and shouted. Their respective spirit weapons appeared in their hands as though they were facing a great enemy. They couldn't tell where the voice came from.
Boom!
The stone door of the main hall turned into powder, and Xiao Chen's figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Who are you!"
The fourth Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm warrior couldn't help but shout. He could feel a boundless sea of Battle Qi from Xiao Chen's body, making it hard for him to breathe.
"We don't know how we've offended you. If we've offended you, please forgive us."
"Aren't you waiting for this chief to come?"
What!
"You're Xiao Chen!"
Suddenly, one of them came to a realization and shouted.
"Xiao Chen, what do you want to do? Do you want to be our enemy? Why don't you retreat now? We'll let bygones be bygones!"
"Be your enemy?"
Xiao Chen shouted and then laughed. His eyes were cold, "Are you worthy?"
"You!"
The four of them were all wanderers. They were arrogant and unruly. Xiao Chen's contempt made them furious, but the endless pressure made them shut their mouths. Their original bragging had long been thrown to the back of their minds.
"Xiao Chen, think about it carefully. This old man comes from the gathering place of wanderers, Thorn Fort. Do you want to be the enemy of the entire wanderer force?"
The fourth Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm old man, seeing Xiao Chen's imposing manner, could not help but take out the force behind him, wanting to suppress Xiao Chen.
Thorn Fort was another gathering place of wanderers in the Desolate Border Region. It was as famous as Spirit Rhinoceros Mountain and had the strength comparable to an upper rank combat division.
Unfortunately, these people had miscalculated. They had been chasing the Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Wood in the depths of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range and were not very clear about the news of the outside world.
If they knew that even the upper rank Xuan Qing Combat Division was defeated in front of Xiao Chen and retreated with their tails between their legs, they would not have such courage.
"Boom!"
However, what greeted them was Xiao Chen's golden palm.
"Damn it!"
"Arrogant!"
"Puff!"
A big cyan golden hand pressed down. The blazing divine light shone and descended in front of the four people. Xiao Chen's palm wrapped all four of them!
"No!"
The two wanderers at the front only let out a scream. Their whole body trembled and suddenly fell apart, turning into a pile of flesh and blood.
The remaining two people, including the martial artist at the Fourth Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm, were all sent flying and smashed into the back wall of the hall. Blood spilled everywhere.
"Junior, how can you be so ruthless? We are all martial artists at the Heavenly Building Realm, the mainstay of the human race in the Desolate Border Region to resist the invasion of the foreign races. You dare to kill us? This is a great crime against the world!
You are the enemy of the entire human race! "
He spat out blood, mixed with broken internal organs. Xiao Chen's strength was so strong that he could not forget it. As a wanderer of the Thorn Fort, his strength was not small even in the Desolate Border Region. Even a middle rank combat division could not be underestimated, but today he could not fight back.
"It's fine if we don't have such a Heavenly Building Realm martial artist. Since we have done it, we must be prepared to bear all the consequences. Under the rule of my Gu Yuan Tribe, you took things by force, bullied the weak, and now you blame me for being ruthless. You have cultivated for so many years, but you have lived like a dog!"
"I don't care about a mere Thorn Fort!"
"No, let me go!"
"Puff!"
The blood light dispersed, and the world became calm again.
What!
Until this moment, the people of the Ming Yu Combat Division had not reacted. The four figures that bullied the tribe like demons had turned into blood bones.
"Greetings, Shang Bang Tribe Lord!"
"Thank you, Lord Tribe Lord, for saving our lives!"
The people of the Ming Yu Combat Division who had reacted shouted like a tide. They all knelt down and shouted loudly to Xiao Chen.
Not long after, Xiao Chen left a few martial arts elixirs to the Ming Yu Combat Division's leader. He believed that with these elixirs, the Ming Yu Combat Division would be able to recover to its peak strength in a few years.
The Ming Yu Combat Division was not the first to be occupied by a wanderer. There were a total of 13 vassal combat divisions in the Eastern Domain of the Luolong Ridge that were occupied by foreign warriors. Xiao Chen had used thunderous methods to expel these warriors who had caused trouble in the Luolong Ridge and left elixirs to appease the vassal combat divisions.
Of course, Xiao Chen did not kill all the warriors who occupied the vassal combat divisions afterward. After all, the Gu Yuan Combat Division did not have the ability to become the enemy of the entire Desolate Border Region.
Furthermore, these were all Heavy Floor Realm cultivators. If they were all slaughtered like this, the foreign races would be the most pleased. If they had to blame someone, they could only blame the Thorn Bird Castle's wanderer for being unlucky. Xiao Chen used him as an example to intimidate the various factions.
Three days later.
The Eastern Domain of the Luolong Ridge was shaken. The Gu Yuan Combat Division had killed several Heaven Building Realm warriors in succession. When the news came out, many warriors restrained their arrogance.
None of the cultivators dared to threaten the subordinate battalions of the Gu Yuan Tribe anymore. Xiao Chen's bloody massacre had given them a great shock.
