In the Green Stone Garden in the mountain city of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Xiao Chen was currently teaching his precious disciple, Zi Yuan. After the past few days of recuperation, the little girl's body had grown. The Purple Lotus Spirit Fire in her body had already established a connection with her. Although she could not control it as she pleased, it was already a great improvement.
At this moment, Xiao Chen frowned. He sensed a fluctuation in the space outside the mountain city. As the Patriarch of the Gu Yuan Tribe, Xiao Chen and the destiny of the entire tribe could be said to be one entity. Moreover, after years of nurturing, the destiny of the Gu Yuan Tribe had gradually merged with the land outside the mountain city. Therefore, he could sense some fluctuations outside the mountain city from within the tribe.
However, after a while, Xiao Chen's tense mind suddenly relaxed because he sensed a familiar aura.
After gently patting the little girl, Xiao Chen's figure turned into a stream of light and flew out of the mountain city. Not only that, but all the Second-Floor Realm warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe also followed Xiao Chen.
"Patriarch!"
Some of the tribesmen who were hunting in the mountains saluted when they saw Xiao Chen, but they did not dare to say anything. They just stared at the ferocious battleship in the sky.
"Haha."
However, Xiao Chen laughed loudly. He came to a hundred feet away from the bronze battleship and shouted, "Patriarch of the Gu Yuan Tribe, Xiao Chen, greets the Battle Envoy of the Ancestral Court."
The Battle Envoy of the Ancestral Court!
Hearing Xiao Chen's voice, the warriors behind Xiao Chen could not help but gasp. The Battle Envoy of the Ancestral Court!
It turned out to be the Battle Envoy of the Ancestral Court!
No wonder he could use the Void Battleship as a means of transportation. Only the Ancestral Court of the Human Clan could afford to do so in the entire Desolate Border Region!
"Brother Xiao, why are you so formal?"
Then, a hearty laugh came from inside the bronze warship. A middle-aged martial artist in blood armor appeared at the bow of the warship. Who else could it be but Xue Feng?
"Brother Xue, you have come to the Gu Yuan Tribe on behalf of the Human Tribe's Ancestral Court. How can we ignore the rules?" After a simple greeting, Xiao Chen became more casual. He was not a pedantic person.
Half an hour later.
Gu Yuan Tribe's main hall.
"Elder Brother Xue's presence brings light to our humble Gu Yuan Tribe. May I know what orders Elder Brother Xue has on behalf of the Ancestral Court?"
Everyone took their seats. The elders of the Gu Yuan Tribe were very curious about the Ancestral Court Battle Envoy, Xue Feng, but they did not dare to act rashly. They all sat on the stone chairs and listened to the conversation between Xiao Chen and Xue Feng.
"You already know the first purpose of coming here this time. It is Master's order for all the divisions to send Heavy Building Realm warriors to expand the Ancestral Court's Heavenly Soldiers. I wonder if Clan Leader Xiao has already arranged the candidates!"
Xue Feng became very formal when it came to business.
Then, Xiao Chen introduced the five Qiu brothers to Xue Feng. He also told Xue Feng about the five brothers' telepathy and the fact that they could fight above their level. Xue Feng was very happy.
"Good, good, good!
The Ancestral Court's Heavenly Soldiers have battle formations. They are divided into three-man battle formations, five-man battle formations, ten-man battle formations, and even hundred-man battle formations. When the five people are telepathic and form a five-man battle formation, the power unleashed will be multiplied! "Xue Feng was very happy after listening to Xiao Chen's introduction.
Xiao Chen also knew about battle formations. However, his Gu Yuan Tribe did not have any inheritances in this regard. Battle formations were formed by cultivators working together to form a formation. It was a Secret Technique that could erupt with absolute might.
Not only could a battle formation increase a martial artist's battle strength, but it could also reduce casualties. Xiao Chen was also very envious. As if he knew what Xiao Chen was thinking, Xue Feng changed the topic and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao, are you very interested in battle formations?"
Xiao Chen did not hide anything and nodded. Then, Xue Feng continued, "I thought it would be good if Brother Xiao could send two Heavy Building Realm warriors to join the Heavenly Soldiers according to the Ancestral Court's edict. I didn't expect you to support me so much. I won't be stingy."
"However, the battle formation is a secret technique of the Ancestral Court. If the human battalions want to obtain it, they need enough battle merits. Brother, you can't break the rules of the Ancestral Court. I have a battle formation I obtained from a relic. It's called the Eight Direction Rotation Formation. It requires eight warriors to guard the corners and take turns to attack. It can preserve strength to the maximum and kill the enemy."
This time, it was Xiao Chen's turn to be surprised. After some communication, Xiao Chen understood the reason why Xue Feng took out the battle formation. It turned out that he had been ordered to form a new Heavenly Soldiers team, and he had to gather the members himself.
Although the various tribes did not dare to shirk the edict of the Ancestral Court, it was for the sake of preserving strength. It was not that they were selfish, but they were afraid that the Ancestral Court would mobilize their absolute strength. When the tribes encountered danger, it was inevitable that they would have some ulterior motives. However, they did not expect Xiao Chen to be so generous. Not only did he carry out the edict of the Ancestral Court without any hesitation, but he also doubled the number of martial artists.
In this regard, Xiao Chen had let the five brothers join the Ancestral Court to protect themselves. Naturally, he would not say it out loud.
"As for other battle formations, as long as Brother Xiao obtains enough battle merits in the future, you can exchange for them from the Ancestral Court. You can even exchange for a Void Battleship from the Ancestral Court!"
Seeing everyone's strange gazes, Xue Feng could not help but rub the bridge of his nose. He said embarrassedly, "The bronze battleship outside belongs to Master. This time, I'm just borrowing it."
Then, Xue Feng added, "It won't be long before I have enough battle merits to exchange for a Void Battleship from the Ancestral Court!"
Xiao Chen could not help but chuckle. Although Xue Feng had cultivated for hundreds of years, he was a true man. This could be seen from the last sentence, which emphasized that Xiao Chen would obtain enough battle merits to exchange for a battleship.
"By the way, the Emperor's Palace has ordered that, in order to encourage the martial artists of the Human Race to fight the enemy bravely and resist the alien races, the battle merits obtained will be doubled from now until the end of the battle in the River of Hundred Realms!"
Xue Feng's words made Xiao Chen finally understand why the Ghost Race Venerables he had killed on the Ghost Race's Void Road had doubled his battle merits. However, the decision made by the Emperor's Palace reminded Xiao Chen of some incentive measures in the future. It seemed that they existed in every space-time.
After a pause, Xue Feng continued in a solemn tone, "Well, apart from recruiting the Heavenly Soldiers, I'm here for another matter."
"Xiao Chen of the Ancient Yuan Army of the Desolate Border Region, receive the order!"
Xue Feng's Battle Qi surged as he roared. A purplish-green token appeared in his hand. There were two ancient characters on the token: Ancestral Court.
"Xiao Chen, receive the order!"
Xiao Chen also stood up, followed by a group of tribal elders who bowed and accepted the order.
"The River of Hundred Realms is about to descend. The alien races are rampant and have wreaked havoc in our Desolate Border Region. The strength of the Ancestral Court of the Human Race has been weakened. Therefore, the Ancestral Court of the Desolate Border Region has divided the major regions of the Desolate Border Region. All the major military divisions will work together to exterminate the alien races hidden in the Desolate Mountain Range!"
"Although the Ancient Yuan Army of the Desolate Border Region has only been established for a few years, it has a prosperous destiny. Therefore, the chief of the Ancient Yuan Tribe, Xiao Chen, will take on the responsibility of guarding the 700,000 square kilometers of land in the Desolate Border Region. The middle-grade Iron Hoof Army, the middle-grade Blue Mountain Army, the middle-grade Red Bear Army, and the middle-grade War Spear Army will be temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Ancient Yuan Tribe. They will do their best to exterminate the alien races in the territory they guard!"
The middle-grade Blue Mountain Army, the middle-grade Red Bear Army, and the middle-grade War Spear Army were middle-grade military divisions in the southeastern region of the Iron Hoof Army.
There were precedents in the Desolate Border Region of having some of the strong divisions of the various regions guard the Wasteland Wasteland. However, Xiao Chen did not expect his Gu Yuan Tribe to be able to guard an entire region by itself.
Before the Ancient Yuan Tribe rose to prominence, these military divisions were under the jurisdiction of the high-grade Maple Combat Division of the Desolate Border Region. The high-grade Maple Combat Division was ranked seventh among the high-grade military divisions in the Desolate Border Region.
He did not expect the Ancestral Court to divide this area and make it a part of the Ancient Yuan Tribe. It seemed that Xiao Chen had already obtained the recognition of the Ancestral Court after advancing to the Venerable stage, even though the rank of the tribe had not risen yet.
"On the day of the edict, Xiao Chen of the Ancient Yuan Tribe has the right to recruit the combat masters and martial artists of the other four divisions to conquer the Desolate Border Region!"
After Xue Feng finished speaking, he looked at the stunned members of the Ancient Yuan Tribe and could not help but softly shout, "Chief Xiao, hurry up and accept the order!"
The purple-azure medallion gave off a cold feeling. However, Xiao Chen could feel an indistinct aura hidden in the depths of the medallion.
"The Ancient Yuan Tribe receives the order!"
"The Ancestral Court Token contains the destiny of the Human Race, and the foreign races cannot forge it. With this token, if the four major military divisions do not accept the edict, Brother Xiao has the right to act first and report later!"
"Moreover, the Ancestral Court's edict has already been sent to the major middle-grade military divisions. I believe it will not be long before the four major military divisions rush to the Ancient Yuan Tribe to pay their respects to you, the new feudal lord!"
"The four major military divisions have the right to conquer 700,000 miles of the Desolate Border Region!"
"Old Brother Xue, you are flattering me too much. What feudal lord? I am just following the edict of the Ancestral Court to temporarily take on the responsibility of wiping out the foreign races. When the foreign races are wiped out, I will automatically hand the Ancestral Court Token to Great Elder Ming He."
"Haha!"
Xue Feng laughed and did not say anything else. "This time, we must completely eradicate the remnants of the foreign races in the Desolate Border Region. Otherwise, once the battle at the Border River starts, we will be in danger of being attacked by enemies in our own backyard."
"Of course I know that. Our Human Race will not give up until the foreign races perish. Who knows how many foreign races are hiding in the Desolate Border Region? We should have wiped them out a long time ago!"
Xiao Chen nodded in response to Xue Feng's words. The Ancestral Court's edict was a little sudden, but it was also in line with his wishes. If his Ancient Yuan Tribe was to be under the jurisdiction of other high-grade military divisions, he would feel a little uncomfortable.
