The four ferocious beasts were at least ten meters tall. A dazzling star was slowly rotating between their eyebrows, constantly emitting waves of pressure. Inadvertently, their roars could be heard for dozens of miles. A violent aura filled the air, causing the air in front of the city gate to become oppressive.
It was easy to determine the identity of the four people in front of them. The one riding the two High Grade One Star Crimson Flame Beasts was a guest from the Black Snake Tribe in the east, while the one riding the Unicorn Horse King was a guest from the Kuishui Tribe in the west. Because the Kuishui Tribe's territory was built by the water, it was adjacent to a huge lake, the Kuishui Lake, and there were no fire-attributed ferocious beasts within the tribe's territory.
The two guests from the two tribes were an old man and a young man. The two young men were wearing shiny battle robes and looked handsome. They didn't hide the powerful aura on their bodies at all. From the majestic Blood Qi they emitted, it could be seen that even if they hadn't broken through to the Blood Refining Realm, they weren't far from it.
As for the two old men following them, although they looked abnormally old, their bodies were very tall and straight. Their eyes flickered with a bright light, and powerful aura constantly overflowed from their bodies. The cold air in the air became more and more intense, and even the wild grass on the ground was covered in a layer of frost.
The cultivation of these two people made Tie Wen and Ding Shan feel as if they had faced Xiao Chen before. Obviously, these two old men were Blood Refining Realm warriors. Two Blood Refining Realm warriors were enough to establish two Low Grade Tribes, and they could easily destroy an ordinary Low Grade Tribe. Now, they had actually come to the Gu Yuan Tribe. Although the cold air was overflowing, Tie Wen and Ding Shan still sweated profusely.
A hint of anger appeared in Tie Wen's eyes. Speaking of which, the Gu Yuan Tribe was originally a low-ranked combat division that controlled the surrounding thousand miles of wasteland. These two tribes and the Gu Yuan Tribe lived next to each other and had been peaceful for hundreds of years. It could even be said that they minded their own business. Even when Xiao Chen led the Gu Yuan Tribe to annex the Black Mountain and Withered Tree Tribes, taking the land under the control of the Black Mountain and Withered Tree Tribes into the Gu Yuan Tribe, there was no filthy dispute between the two tribes. Xiao Chen even arranged for his clansmen to visit the two tribes after the war.
However, all of this happened a month ago. The Gu Yuan Tribe went out to hunt and found a raw primordial stone ore weighing more than a hundred kilograms on a low hill in the former Black Mountain Tribe's territory. Tie Wen, who got the news, personally went to investigate and found that there was actually a twelve mile long primordial stone ore vein hidden there.
A twelve mile long primordial stone ore vein was already considered a High Grade Medium Grade Ore Vein. Not only could it produce low grade primordial stones, but there would also be some reserves of Medium Grade Primordial Stones in the depths of the ore vein. It should be known that Medium Grade Primordial Stones were a resource that could be supplied to Heaven and Earth Realm warriors for cultivation.
According to the classification standard of the Great Wilderness, the ore vein less than ten miles was a Low Grade Ore Vein, which could produce low grade primordial stones for Blood Refining Realm warriors. The ore vein from ten to a hundred miles was a Medium Grade Ore Vein. As for the ore vein more than a hundred miles, it was a High Grade Ore Vein. Not only did the High Grade Ore Vein contain a large number of low grade primordial stones and Medium Grade primordial stones, but it could also contain precious High Grade primordial stones. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi contained in one High Grade primordial stone was equivalent to the content of ten thousand low grade primordial stones. Compared to the mottled Low Grade primordial stones, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the High Grade primordial stones was incomparably pure, which was of great help to martial cultivation.
If a human warrior of the Great Wilderness absorbed the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi contained in ten thousand low grade primordial stones to improve his cultivation, he would only need half a High Grade primordial stone to achieve the same effect.
Although the Ancient Yuan Tribe was an Inferior Grade Tribe, much stronger than those loose tribes that did not have a fixed base, it was still a bottom-tier existence among Inferior Grade Tribes. The tribe's accumulations were extremely shallow. Furthermore, Xiao Chen's fame spread far and wide. Many loose tribes fought to join him, causing the tribe's population to increase explosively. The tribe's resource consumption increased, reaching the point where they could barely make ends meet. At this moment, the Ancient Yuan Tribe actually discovered an Essence Stone vein spanning six kilometers in the territory under their jurisdiction.
However, man proposes, God disposes. There was a spy from the Black Snake and Kui Shui Tribe among the people who discovered the primordial stone ore vein. Although Tie Wen had immediately ordered the spy to be killed, the news had still spread. In order to verify the authenticity of the news, the two tribes had joined forces to capture the tribe soldiers who had followed Tie Wen to investigate the ore vein. In the end, they had obtained the specific location of the primordial stone ore vein.
What was even more unexpected was that the two tribes had been so shameless. Blinded by greed, they had joined forces to besiege the Gu Yuan Tribe and forcibly occupied the ore vein that belonged to the Gu Yuan Tribe. They had even divided the Gu Yuan Tribe's hunting grounds.
"These two tribes are really greedy. Originally, the Gu Yuan Tribe had agreed to give up this ore vein and let the three tribes jointly mine it. However, the Black Snake and Kui Shui Tribes still wanted a yard after taking an inch and kicked the Gu Yuan Tribe out. Not only that, but they also joined forces to attack the Gu Yuan Tribe, capture my people, and destroy my home."
Ding Shan, the commander of the soldiers, roared in his heart. However, he could not easily show it on his face. Originally, these two neighboring tribes were stronger than the Gu Yuan Tribe. They even had two or three Blood Refining Realm warriors in their tribes. Now that the two tribes had joined forces, the Gu Yuan Tribe, which had no leader, could not afford to provoke them.
On the city wall behind Tie Wen, all the soldiers had grave expressions on their faces as if they were facing a great enemy. Not to mention the four people, just the four One-star Upper Tier ferocious beasts that they were riding were comparable to four centurions who had perfected the Bone Tempering Realm. Moreover, there were two Blood Refining Realm warriors with profound auras. Such a force was enough to wipe out the entire Gu Yuan Tribe and make it disappear from the Great Wilderness.
Although they knew that the people in front of them did not come with good intentions, none of the Guardian Soldiers flinched. They gripped the weapons in their hands tightly. As the guardians of the tribe, they would not forget their mission even if they were in a hopeless situation and faced an enemy that they could not defeat.
"I did not expect Elder Xuan Ying of the Black Snake Tribe and Elder Kui Shui Quan of the Kui Shui Tribe to visit us. The Gu Yuan Tribe is really flattered!"
Although the two people in front of them were Blood Refining Realm warriors, they were elders of low-tier tribes. At this moment, Tie Wen represented the entire Gu Yuan Tribe. Although he was weak, he would not show any weakness in terms of aura.
"Elder Tie, how have you been? It seems that Clan Leader Xiao has not returned yet," Elder Xuan Ying of the Black Snake Tribe replied indifferently. He did not even open his eyes to look at Tie Wen and Ding Shan.
In the face of these people's rudeness, Tie Wen suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Elders, please enter the city. Please forgive us for our poor hospitality."
"Forget it!"
At this moment, the elder of the Kui Shui Tribe looked at the city in front of them with a faint smile. Finally, his gaze fell on Tie Wen. "This time, our two tribes have come to discuss an important matter with your tribe. There is no need for us to enter the city. After we set the agreement, we can go back and report."
Here it comes!
Ding Shan frowned and his eyes were filled with indignation. Tie Wen frowned and said in a deep voice, "What is it?"
"According to the orders of our two tribe leaders, from today onwards, the Black Snake Tribe, Kui Shui Tribe, and the Gu Yuan Tribe will use Black Cloud Mountain as the boundary. The north of Black Cloud Mountain will be the territory of the Gu Yuan Tribe. The south of Black Cloud Mountain will belong to the Black Snake Tribe, Kui Shui Tribe!"
