It's here!
Hearing these playful words, not only Great Elder Tie Wen, even the group of guardian warriors on the city behind him revealed furious expressions.
The north of Black Cloud Mountain was originally the boundary between Black Mountain and Gu Yuan Tribe. Ever since the Gu Yuan Tribe had annexed Black Mountain, the territory of the Black Mountain Tribe had become the territory of the Gu Yuan Tribe in accordance with the customs of the wasteland. The yuan stone vein that had appeared in Black Mountain's old territory naturally belonged to the Gu Yuan Tribe.
The Black Snake Tribe and the Kui and the Water Tribes had forcibly taken away the territory of the Black Mountain Tribe. As a result, the Primordial Stone Lode had completely fallen into the territory of the two tribes. Once the border was drawn, the Gu Yuan Tribe would no longer have a chance to touch the Primordial Stone Lode. From then on, the Kui and the Water Black Snake Tribes became the masters of the lode.
"What? Elder Tie, do you have any objections?"
The young man from the Black Snake Tribe said, "Although the Black Mountain Tribe has been annexed by the Gu Yuan Tribe, its chief, Xiong Li, colluded with foreign tribes. Everyone has the right to punish him. Our Black Snake Tribe has sent our elite soldiers to encircle and annihilate the remnants of his evil for the sake of the human race. Therefore, our Black Mountain territory belongs to the Black Snake Tribe."
The young man from the Kui Water Tribe glanced at the Great Elder and the others again. His lips curled into a playful smile as he said, "That's right. Not only that, our Kui Water Tribe has long sent people into this area to hunt. Although the Gu Yuan Tribe has annexed the Black Mountain Tribe, they don't have the ability to control such a large area. There shouldn't be any objections to using Black Cloud Mountain as the boundary in the south, right?"
The two young warriors echoed each other, and their words were full of hidden meanings. Their meaning was very obvious. Although the Gu Yuan Tribe had annexed the Black Mountain and Withered Wood Tribes, their foundation was still very shallow. It was impossible for them to control such a wide area, so they should not act impulsively and cause unnecessary trouble.
Tie Wen forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "You two are wrong. According to the ancient teachings, low-rank tribes can control an area of 500 to 10,000 miles. Now that our Gu Yuan Tribe has annexed the Black Mountain and Dead Wood Tribes, the vast wasteland that these two tribes controlled should all belong to our Gu Yuan Tribe. Therefore, the land of the Black Mountain and Dead Wood Tribes south of Black Cloud Mountain belongs to our Gu Yuan Tribe."
"Courting death!"
In an instant, the two young cultivators urged their high-rank fierce beast mounts to take a step forward. The fiery heat and the icy chill converged into a stream of cold and hot air, turning into the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire that swept out in all directions. The alternating cold and hot air filled the bodies of Tie Wen and his companion. Even though their bodies had been tempered, they still became sluggish at this moment.
The south of the Black Cloud Mountain will belong to the Mysterious Snake and Water Tribes. From today onwards, the two tribes do not wish to hear any objections. Today, the two tribes are not here to discuss with you, but to make a routine announcement. Since the chief of the Guyuan Tribe, Xiao Chen, isn't here, you can make the decision. However, you have to think this through. If the Guyuan Tribe is stubborn and doesn't see the big picture, it will just be a little troublesome for the Mysterious Snake and Water Tribes to destroy it.
"You've gone too far!"
Everyone from the Guyuan Tribe glared at them angrily in the face of their naked threats. They had already shed all pretense of cordiality, so there was no room for negotiation. These people did not take the Guyuan Tribe seriously at all. Although they were all humans, human nature had become very shallow in the face of profit. They might not kill wantonly, but it would not be difficult to replace the key figures in the tribe with a group of people who knew what to do and what not to do. At that time, the entire Guyuan Tribe would completely become someone else's puppet.
"So what if we bully you?
Haha … "
The four of them did not care about the reaction of the people from the Guyuan Tribe at all. As the saying went, money could move people's hearts. In the face of great profit, as long as they had the strength, they could still get what they wanted even if it was within the territory of the other party's tribe.
"Everyone, is there really no room for negotiation?
Our chief has already rushed back from the outer region. I can't make such a big decision, "Tie Wen had no choice but to calm down in the face of these powerful people.
The two tribal elders who had followed them this time sat steadily on their ferocious beast mounts and closed their eyes to rest. They had no intention of interfering at all. These two young warriors could be said to be the vanguard and were extremely arrogant.
The young man from the Black Snake Tribe sneered again and said, "There is room for negotiation. Today, our two tribes have condescended to come here. This is the biggest room for negotiation. Otherwise, Tie Wen, do you think you can still stand here and talk to us? If you continue to be entangled in this, don't blame us for being ruthless. Let's see if the Guyuan Tribe, which recently had a new chief, has made any progress. Let's see if this Xiao Chen is as useless as his ancestors."
"Great Elder!"
Seeing the tense atmosphere outside, all the soldiers in the city rushed out under the lead of Shi Ya and the others. Even the only Blood Refining Realm warrior in the tribe, Mu Qing, had already quietly hidden in a corner of the city, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"Great Elder, no!"
"Let's fight it out with them. They humiliated our chief and bullied our tribe. How can a good man like the Guyuan Tribe endure such humiliation?"
Every soldier clenched their fists and cracked their knuckles. Their eyes were filled with rage, as if they wanted to turn these four people into ashes.
Everyone's faces were filled with anxiety. With the Black Cloud Mountain as the boundary, not only did they give up the Yuan Stone Vein, but it also meant that the Guyuan Tribe had annexed the Black Mountain Tribe under the leadership of Xiao Chen. The spoils of war from expanding their territory had also been lost, which meant that the blood of thousands of warriors of the Guyuan Tribe who had died in battle had been wasted.
"These people are too overbearing and unreasonable. Not only did they forcefully occupy the Yuan Stone Vein, but they also want to establish a chastity for themselves. They are extremely shameless. A mid-grade Yuan Stone Vein is very important to the Guyuan Tribe. They are too hateful."
Among the soldiers, only Commander Ding Shan remained silent. They understood the difficulty that the Great Elder was in. Now that the chief of the Guyuan Tribe, Xiao Chen, was not here, all the burdens were on his shoulders. Faced with the aggression of the two tribes, if he did not agree to their demands, the Guyuan Tribe might be bathed in blood in the next moment.
If the people were lost, both the people and the land would be lost. If the people were lost, both the people and the land would be lost.
"Shut up!"
Tie Wen shouted angrily. His furious voice exploded in everyone's ears. He stopped Zhan Bing's voice and said, "I have made up my mind. When the Clan Leader returns, I will definitely give the Clan Leader and Gu Yuan an explanation."
"Alright, Elder Tie. A wise man submits to circumstances. In that case, our three tribes will agree to use Black Cloud Mountain as the boundary between your tribes. The south of Black Cloud Mountain will be under the control of the Black Snake Tribe and the Kui Water Tribe. This is the boundary stone. Elder Tie, please leave your tribe's mark on it!"
Boom!
Boom!
Seeing Tie Wen's actions, the two Blood Refining Realm warriors behind him waved their hands. Two stone tablets as tall as a person fell from the back of the ferocious beast mounts.
There were five simple words carved on the stone tablets: Black Cloud Mountain as the boundary. However, there was a line of smaller words below: Black Snake Tribe and Kui Water Tribe.
Seeing the two boundary stones land, Tie Wen felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. He knew that as long as he left Guyuan's mark on the boundary stones, he, the Great Elder, would be the shame of the entire Guyuan Tribe. He would be forever pinned on the pillar of shame and despised by the Guyuan Tribe for generations to come. However, as the Great Elder of the tribe, there were some things that he had to do since the chief had yet to return.
A warrior would not hesitate to die, but there was no need to fear death. Today, he had shamed the Guyuan Tribe, so he had to die to repay the Guyuan Tribe!
