A month later, in the Gu Yuan Tribe.
"Reporting to Tribe Leader, according to the tribe's scouts, the entire Desolate Border is currently in flames of war. Rogue foreign tribe combat masters are frequently appearing. Just the low-rank combat divisions within a million miles of our Gu Yuan Tribe have been massacred by the rogue foreign tribe combat masters, and this is even after they've been discovered. As for how many human combat divisions have been killed in the depths of the remote ancient mountains, it's impossible to estimate."
Great Elder Tie Shi's voice resounded throughout the tribe's main hall. Although the Gu Yuan Tribe's tribe leader and combat masters had retreated from the Desolate Border to defend their combat divisions, they were still very clear about what was happening within a million miles of the Desolate Border.
Without the Gu Yuan Tribe to hold them back, the human combat divisions within a million miles of the Desolate Border were in a precarious situation. Under the might of the rogue foreign tribe combat masters, they were struggling to survive. Many of their tribes had been wiped out, and the entire Desolate Border had been dyed red with blood.
At this moment, the Gu Yuan Tribe's various hall masters, elders, and Supremacies at the sixth layer of the Heavenly Building Realm were all seated in the main hall. It could be said that the Gu Yuan Tribe had gathered all the high-end combat forces in the tribe this time. The entire main hall was filled with an invisible aura.
"Similarly, due to the foreign tribe's crisis, many tribes have been forced to form tribal alliances and gather various combat masters to form a coalition army to fight against the foreign tribe."
"Compared to a few days ago, our human clans have gradually recovered from the panic. Now, we are no longer as panicky as before when we were fighting against those rogue non-humankind warriors who have been hiding in the depths of the wasteland," said Ji Hao.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. In just a month, many tribes had awakened. This had greatly exceeded his expectations. However, when he thought about the price they had to pay, it was already clear. Just within a five hundred kilometre radius of his Gu Yuan Tribe, hundreds of lower tier combat divisions had been destroyed in a month. This was the lives of millions of tribesmen. If the blood of millions of people was unable to awaken the Human Race from their muddle-headed ways, how could the Human Race defend their territory?!
However, what these low-grade combat divisions didn't know was that even though they were fighting with the foreign race's combat masters in the Wasteland, the Gu Yuan Tribe wasn't idling around. Above the void of a million miles, the Gu Yuan Tribe's battleships were patrolling, blocking the foreign race's Almighties outside. These tribes were only defending against the foreign race's ordinary combat masters.
"Great Elder, how is the territory under the jurisdiction of my Gu Yuan Tribe?" Suddenly, Xiao Chen's tone changed as he began to pay attention to his tribe.
"Tribe Leader, the tribe's combat masters have already combed through the territory under the jurisdiction of the tribe. Moreover, the rogue combat masters gathered by the foreign race are still very weak compared to our Gu Yuan Tribe. They are no match for us at all. Therefore, they fear the might of our Gu Yuan Tribe. Other than a few lone foreign race warriors, the other organized foreign race combat masters don't dare to invade our territory!"
It had to be said that the Gu Yuan Tribe's prestige was growing by the day. After years of combing through the territory, other than some ancient mountains and dangerous lands, most of the places, including some powerful ferocious beasts, had been cleaned up, especially in the Fallen Dragon Region. Even an ordinary Blood Refinement Realm warrior would be safe as long as he was careful.
"Similarly, according to Lord Tribe Leader's orders, the powerhouses of the tribe are not to take action unless it is absolutely necessary. Most of the people who are currently exterminating the foreign races are the younger generation of the tribe. Among them, the majority are the warriors of the God of War Palace."
As early as a month ago, Xiao Chen had already issued an edict that was implemented in both the Gu Yuan Tribe and the God of War Palace at the same time. The battle merits obtained from killing the foreign races could be exchanged for elixirs in the tribe or the God of War Palace. Moreover, the strength of the foreign races killed corresponded to the level of the elixirs exchanged.
Not only that, but this rule also applied to the markets outside the mountain city where the wanderers gathered. Under the stimulation of the numerous resource rewards, many warriors rushed to the Gu Yuan Tribe's territory to hunt the foreign races.
Currently, the number of young warriors in the God of War Palace had already exceeded four thousand at its peak. It could be said that all of them were geniuses that were one in ten thousand. Their strength was at least at the Blood Refinement Stage. There were even close to a hundred Heavenly Building Stage warriors who had advanced to this level. Although the majority of them were still a little immature, the foreign races were the whetstones for them to sharpen their edge!
"Elder Luo, you should also restrain the geniuses of your God of War Palace. Even if they eat the meat, they should leave some soup for the other young people in our tribe. Currently, the numerous geniuses of your God of War Palace are like ferocious tigers that have descended from the mountains. They have swept through the entire tribe and wiped out all the remaining foreign races."
"That's right, that's right. Lord Tribe Leader has issued an edict to exchange the heads of the foreign races for elixirs. Now, the lives of these foreign races have been harvested by the geniuses of your God of War Palace."
Just at this moment, a soft laugh rang out in the hall. It was a few hall masters of the few great halls who spoke to the palace master of the God of War Palace, Falling Cloud Mountain.
There were many people in the Gu Yuan Tribe, and there were hundreds of thousands of young warriors. However, only a pitiful number of them had entered the God of War Palace. The remaining young warriors had been recruited by the few great halls.
Moreover, the grooming of the few great halls was not much inferior to that of the God of War Palace. Furthermore, as the main structure that supported the Gu Yuan Tribe, the hall masters of the few great halls had also accumulated some resources over the years to groom the younger generation of their respective halls.
Among the few great halls of the tribe, the Combat Master Hall had naturally absorbed the most young warriors. Now that the hall masters had spoken up, the originally silent atmosphere in the hall immediately became a little more relaxed.
"Haha!"
Falling Cloud Mountain laughed. He was not angered by the questioning of the hall masters. In fact, there was even a hint of pride in his eyes.
Ever since he had joined the Gu Yuan Tribe, Xiao Chen had placed him in charge of the God of War Palace to groom the younger generation. He was very satisfied with his position as the palace master of the God of War Palace. Being able to see the outstanding disciples that he had groomed was something to be proud of.
"Hall masters, we have to rely on our own strength to slay the foreign tribes. We are all doing this under the orders of the chief. If you want to be rewarded, get the children under your command to slay the foreign tribes."
There was a smile in Falling Cloud Mountain's eyes. Although some of the young warriors had left the God of War Palace and returned to their respective tribes, there were still nearly three thousand people remaining. These three thousand people were the result of the Gu Yuan Tribe's efforts over the past few years.
Most of these people came from the small tribes near the Gu Yuan Tribe, and some of them were wanderers. Moreover, the Gu Yuan Tribe had already sent out the warriors of the tribe to gather the families and tribes of these geniuses into the tribe. Thus, these geniuses naturally joined the Gu Yuan Tribe.
The cause that the God of War Palace had sown a few years ago had now reaped its fruits. Nearly three thousand young genius martialists. Even if only one percent of them grew up, they would be of immeasurable help to the Gu Yuan Tribe in the future.
Furthermore, the God of War Palace was still recruiting young martialists. Although the arrival of the foreign tribes had slowed down the recruitment of young martialists, the God of War Palace was already on the right track. As long as they had enough time, there would definitely be more talented young martialists joining.
Xiao Chen did not stop the joking Hall Masters below him. Although the God of War Palace was recruiting martialists from various tribes, it had only been established by Xiao Chen for the tribe's development. To put it bluntly, it could be regarded as a temple of the Gu Yuan Tribe, but it was only used to recruit talented martialists for the Gu Yuan Tribe.
"Chiefs, the entire desolate border is now in chaos, and no tribe can remain unscathed. Until now, the Gu Yuan Tribe has yet to receive the next order from the Human Race's Ancestral Court. However, this does not mean that the Gu Yuan Tribe will bide its time."
"Hall Master Huang Liang, how many wanderers and rogue cultivators are still gathering in the market outside the mountain city?"
Hall Master Huang Liang stood up and answered. Then, he said, "Due to the foreign tribes' crisis, the number of wanderers coming to the Gu Yuan Tribe has decreased. However, there are still 300,000 wanderers outside the tribe."
"Alright!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Pass down my order. Any wanderer outside the tribe who can kill five foreign tribe martialists of the same realm as themselves can join the Gu Yuan Tribe."
"Ding Shan, these newly joined wanderers will all belong to your Combat Master Hall and be reorganized into a new Combat Master."
"This matter will be jointly handled by the Hall of Guards and the Combat Master Hall!"
"Yes!"
The two figures bowed and answered at the same time. However, as for how to reorganize the Combat Master Hall, Xiao Chen left it to them to do as they pleased.
Just as Xiao Chen was discussing the tribe's affairs with the many cultivators, the void outside the Gu Yuan Tribe's mountain city was torn apart, and a figure appeared in a flash. The person who could tear the void barrier was at least a seventh-layer Heavenly Layer Heavenly Building Realm powerhouse!
It was an old man with a faintly discernible aura of decay. At this moment, this old man was standing in the void, looking at the Gu Yuan Tribe's mountain city dozens of miles away with a hint of surprise in his slightly turbid eyes.
In his eyes, a mountain city that occupied an area of a hundred miles was situated in the middle of the wasteland. The mountain city was densely packed with blood and Qi. In the sky above the mountain city, one could even see a thick pillar of purple Qi piercing through the sky. A purple spirit python was swimming in the purple Qi Sea, surrounded by purple clouds and rising auspicious aura.
Standing in the void, the old man focused. On the ancient mountain several hundred feet in the center of the Gu Yuan Tribe, the bronze tower was as lofty as a mountain, shrouded in the Qi Essence Pillar. Looking at this scene, the old man subconsciously nodded. After a long time, the surprise in his eyes disappeared.
Then, he stepped into the void and flew straight toward the Gu Yuan Tribe.
In the tribe, Xiao Chen was also slightly stunned. Then, he reacted and shouted, "Elders, follow me to welcome the Ancestral Court's Combat Envoy!"
