Tie Wen's body visibly trembled as he stared at the two stone tablets that were as tall as a person. His fingers trembled uncontrollably and the muscles all over his body tensed up as if they would explode at any moment.
Leaving the Gu Yuan Tribe's mark on the Boundary Stone would be an eternal humiliation for the entire Gu Yuan Tribe. Moreover, this humiliation would be difficult to erase for generations to come. It would remain at the foot of Black Cloud Mountain forever.
"Elder Tie, please leave your mark on the Boundary Stone on behalf of your tribe."
The young man from the Black Snake Tribe sneered. "After all, empty words cannot be trusted. According to the Great Desolate Legacy Theory, only leaving a tribe's mark can be truly effective. Could it be that the Gu Yuan Tribe is unwilling to accept this and wants to brush us off?"
"Hmph, I think you should hurry up and leave your tribe's mark. We still have to return and report to our tribe leader. If our tribe leader blames us, the Gu Yuan Tribe won't be able to bear the consequences. I think your bullsh * t tribe leader is afraid, which is why he doesn't dare to return."
Tie Wen's eyes flickered with intense anger as he said coldly, "Killing is but a small matter. Don't you think you've gone too far?"
The air froze at this moment and the entire Gu Yuan City became extremely quiet. Only the flags at the top of the city walls fluttered in the wind. The atmosphere was a little strange for a moment. Tie Wen forcefully suppressed the killing intent in his heart. Only after a few dozen breaths did the restless power in his heart gradually calm down.
He extended a finger and used it as a knife to sink deep into the stone tablet. Stone chips flew everywhere, and soon, the words "Gu Yuan Tribe" appeared at the bottom corner of the stone tablet. However, Tie Wen's finger did not stop after these words appeared. Then, the words "Gu Yuan Great Elder Tie Wen Li" appeared below the words "Gu Yuan Tribe". The other boundary tablet was the same as well.
It was obvious that Great Elder Tie Wen wanted to shoulder the responsibility for the humiliation of losing his territory by himself. He wanted to transfer all the anger of the Gu Yuan Tribe onto himself so that the tribe leader, Xiao Chen, could withdraw himself.
"Hahaha!
Good!
Good!
Good! "
Seeing that Tie Wen had left the mark of the Gu Yuan Tribe on the Boundary Stone as requested, not only were the two young men delighted, but even the two old men, who had been resting with their eyes closed, could not help but open their eyes and laugh out loud.
As for Tie Wen's little trick of leaving his name on the boundary stele, everyone knew what it meant. However, they didn't care at all. All they needed was a name. "Elder Tie Wen is indeed righteous. We, the Mysterious Snake and Water Tribes, will take these two boundary steles and erect them at the foot of the Dark Cloud Mountain. In the future, our three tribes will be able to use this as a boundary. We won't invade each other and we'll protect the homeland of the human race together."
Afterward, the two Blood Refining Realm warriors put the boundary stele back on their mounts. However, they did not leave. In the next moment, the young warrior from the Mysterious Snake Tribe did not hide his disdain and said, "I heard that the population of your tribe has increased by nearly half in recent months. I don't think the Gu Yuan Tribe can support so many tribesmen with its current strength."
Tie Wen's expression calmed down when he heard the young man's words. His gaze also became calm. The crazy anger in his eyes was deeply hidden in the depths of his pupils and could not be seen at all. "This is the Gu Yuan Tribe's own family matter. You don't have to worry about it."
"Family matter?"
The young man sneered again. "According to the Mysterious Snake Tribe's investigation, several tribes that were originally under our rule have joined the Gu Yuan Tribe. There are about 2,000 people. Please hand them over."
"That's right. My Kuishui Tribe also has a few tribes that have come to the Gu Yuan Tribe. Please hand them over, Elder Iron. I'm sure Elder Iron will give face to our two tribes. After all, our two tribes have been friends for hundreds of years. These lowly commoners are not worth mentioning."
"Shut up!
Don't push your luck. These tribes have joined the Gu Yuan Tribe, so they're our people. How can we exchange them like goods? "
Suddenly, a deep voice rang out. The person who spoke was the centurion Mu Wufeng. He was a warrior who had defected from the Withered Tree Tribe. After seeing that Xiao Chen treated his relatives and his original tribesmen equally, he had already made the Gu Yuan Tribe his home.
Having experienced the pain of being uprooted, Mu Wufeng had a deep understanding of the people of the wasteland. He gripped the saber in his hand tightly as a cold glint flickered in his eyes. Veins popped up on his arms as he glared at the people and said word by word, "Unless you step over my body."
He did not expect these people to have such an idea. They actually wanted to plunder the Gu Yuan Tribe's people. It was obvious where these tribesmen were going. The two tribes wanted to capture them as slaves to mine for the primordial stone mines.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you!"
The young man from the Black Snake Tribe shouted coldly. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he stepped out from the group of four. His aura was like the sea, and the bronze spear in his hand stabbed towards Mu Wufeng with an invisible pressure.
"Watch out!"
The sudden attack caught even Tie Wen off guard. The bronze spear was as fast as lightning, and the young man was already in the Half-Step Blood Refining Realm. Unless one was prepared beforehand, it would be very difficult to block the instantaneous attack.
"Fight!"
Mu Wufeng roared angrily. He gripped the saber tightly with both hands and did not hesitate in the next moment. Instead of retreating, he closed in. Facing such an attack, he did not show the slightest hint of fear and stepped into the dense spear shadows.
Boom!
As if he had been smashed by a huge hammer, a deep rumble immediately rang out. It was like the rumble of thunder. Immediately after, Mu Wufeng seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, and he was pulled back dozens of feet. The saber in his hand was covered in cracks, and in a breath's time, it shattered inch by inch.
Mu Wufeng was heavily injured with a single attack!
How was this possible!
The young man's eyes flashed with surprise. He knew his own strength like the back of his hand. Although he had not broken through to the Blood Refining Realm, he had already opened more than two-thirds of the first meridian in his body, and he had already produced a trace of Battle Qi seed in his body. He could be said to be a Half-Step Blood Refining Realm warrior. He had used all his strength in that attack just now, and the bronze spear was even imbued with a trace of Battle Qi. Even a Bone Tempering Perfection Realm warrior would be defeated on the spot.
"You guys!"
Tie Wen immediately took a step forward, blocking the four people's line of sight. Although there were two Blood Refining Realm warriors in front of him, he did not retreat at all.
His white hair hung down from his temples, making him look extraordinary!
"Sure enough, mud can't hold up a wall. I originally thought that the Gu Yuan Tribe would have some changes after changing to a new chief. I didn't expect this Xiao Chen to be the same as his ancestors, a piece of trash."
"Sigh, who asked us brothers to be so kind? Today, we'll just have to make do with it and help Xiao Chen train his troops. We'll let his trash tribesmen broaden their horizons and broaden their knowledge. This way, they won't be killed by the Mutated Tribe in the future without being able to fight back and become the shame of the Great Wilderness!"
