All the people in the tent were attracted by the Primordial Stone Vein. Their eyes were bloodshot, and all that was left was a naked desire to possess it. Even the Chief of the Black Snake Tribe, Xuan Kui, and the Chief of the Kuishui Tribe, Kui Rong, were no exception.
"Lord Patriarch, please give the order. The Gu Yuan Tribe cannot be left alive. Although we've gathered the strength of our two tribes and sent elite warriors to seal off the area within a 3,000-mile radius, the truth can't be concealed forever. The other tribes will eventually find out about the discovery of the Yuan Stone Vein in this area. At that time, the mid-grade Iron Hoof Tribe will definitely intervene, and our two tribes won't be able to resist them at all."
"That's right. While the situation is still under the control of our two tribes, we should mine this Yuan Stone Mine as soon as possible. The existence of the Gu Yuan Tribe is still a hidden danger, so we should strike first to gain the upper hand. At worst, Elder Xuan He and I will personally take action and kill the Gu Yuan Tribe's patriarch. I don't believe that a mere Blood Refining Realm cultivator has three heads and six arms."
Seeing the incessant quarrel below, the expressions of the two Patriarchs above became gloomy. The Kuishui Tribe's Patriarch Kui Rong kept turning the harpoon in his hand over and over again. Those who were familiar with him knew his habits when making decisions.
After a long time, the Kuishui Tribe's Patriarch Kui Rong fiercely slammed the harpoon in his hand on the stone table in front of him. "Brother Xuan Ke, how can a successful person hesitate? Besides, the two Elders are right. This Yuan Stone Vein is hard to come by even in a thousand years. Since we've come across it, how can we let it go so easily? We'll first break through the Gu Yuan Tribe and turn everyone into mine slaves. Then, we'll travel thousands of miles to kill this Xiao Chen."
The more he spoke, the more excited Kui Rong became. His eyes were filled with unparalleled fervor. It was as if he could see the Kuishui Tribe flourishing in his hands.
"This primordial stone mine is the foundation of our tribe. With primordial stones, we can exchange them for more weapons and armor, medicinal stones, and mines. At that time, our tribe will be able to expand our territory. Even if we can't become a tribe that can last for tens of thousands of years, we can still be like the four overlord tribes of Giant Stone Valley, standing tall for thousands of years without falling."
"Furthermore, with these primary stones, you and I will be able to pursue higher realms, break through the Blood Refining realm and become Heavenly Building realm martial artists. We will gain a thousand years of lifespan, and becoming a Thousand Year Venerable won't be a dream anymore!"
Open up new territory!
Unending for thousands of years!
A Thousand Year Venerable!
Kui Rong's every word constantly struck Xuan Kui's heart, especially the last part about breaking through the Heavenly Building realm, obtaining a lifespan of a thousand years, and becoming an immortal-like existence on earth, which made his eyes light up. Not to mention whether or not it could allow the tribe to stand in the Great Wilderness for thousands of years, just the temptation of a thousand years of lifespan made him unable to refuse. After becoming a Thousand Year Great Sovereign, so what if the entire tribe was wiped out? At that time, with supreme strength, rebuilding a tribe would be a piece of cake.
"Gu Yuan must be destroyed!
Xiao Chen deserves to die! "
Xuan Kui spat out these words without the slightest emotion. As the saying went, 'every man for himself will be destroyed by the heavens and the earth'. Obstructing one's path to wealth was like a blood feud. Xuan Kui had already made a decision in his heart, and immediately said, "Send someone to inform the two commanders of the mine, and tell them to mine the primary stones as soon as possible at all costs. As for the mine slaves, they will be sent over soon.
"As for attacking the Gu Yuan Tribe, Chief Kui Rong, when do you think is the best time to do so?"
Kui Rong's face was filled with killing intent, as if killing people was as normal as eating and drinking. He said, "Of course, the sooner the better. It's already late today, and marching in the Great Wilderness at night is not peaceful. How about tomorrow? I'll have to trouble the two elders to bring the tribe's elites to meet up with Elder Xuan Ying and the others, and directly uproot the Gu Yuan Tribe."
Seeing that the two chiefs had made their decision, the two elders who were originally sitting below bowed and accepted the order. Not long after, everyone burst into laughter. It was as if they could already see the Gu Yuan Tribe being annihilated, and the tribe members being sent to the mines to mine the primary stones for them.
Just as everyone was immersed in this beautiful fantasy, they heard a loud bang, and a violent aura whistled in. The door that was originally made of animal skin was lifted open, and then tightly closed.
"Who is it!
How dare you!
Didn't you know this is an important place in the camp? "
Several people in the tent shouted in unison. When they saw who it was, they all revealed shocked expressions, and the two chiefs even frowned.
"Lord Patriarch, save me!"
Kui Jiu knelt on the ground, and his travel-worn face was filled with shame. Now that night had fallen, there was no way for him to survive in less than two hours.
Along the way, he had used up almost everything he had, and all the pills and stones he had on him had been used up.
Even the primary stone that he had kept for a long time, and he had planned to use it to break through to the Blood Refining Realm in the future. Regardless of the damage caused to his meridians by the violent Yuan Qi within it, he had refined it in order to maintain his full strength.
At this moment, he had used up his last bit of strength to come here. As soon as he entered the tent, he instantly relaxed. His face was as pale as paper, and all the muscles and bones in his body felt weak. He felt as if his meridians were being torn apart, and he had reached his limit.
"Centurion Kui Jiu!"
Seeing Kui Jiu in such a dilapidated state, Elder Kui De of the Kui Shui Tribe suddenly stood up. Even the two chiefs, Xuan Kui and Kui Rong, also stood up and came to his side. Their eyes gradually turned cold, and they shouted, "Why did you come back alone? Why didn't the two elders and centurion Xuan Qi return?"
"Dead, dead, they're all dead!"
Kui Jiu's eyes were filled with deep fear, and it didn't take long for it to turn into a venomous expression. His eyes were filled with endless killing intent as he said, "Chief, save me!
Elder Xuan She is dead, and the two elders are dead!
It's the Gu Yuan Tribe, it's the Gu Yuan Tribe that killed them! "
What!
They're all dead!
Boom!
A figure flashed across the distance of several meters in an instant and grabbed Kui Jiu by the neck. He lifted him up and used the strength of his arm to choke Kui Jiu's neck. Not long after, Kui Jiu was gasping for breath, and his face was flushed red.
"You said that my brother, Xuan She, is dead in the Gu Yuan Tribe!
Tell me who killed him! Hurry up and tell me! "
Xuan He's eyes were bloodshot as he held Kui Jiu's body in midair. He couldn't believe that his brother, who had accompanied him for a hundred years, was killed.
"Spare me!
Elder Xuan He, spare me! I'll tell you! I'll tell you! "
Kui Jiu was already exhausted, and now that he was being held by the neck in midair, his mind was in a blur. He kept begging for mercy and struggling in Xuan He's grasp.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
In the end, Xuan He put Kui Jiu down. After all, they still needed him to understand the situation. Kui Jiu, who had survived another calamity, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
"Xiao Chen!
It's Xiao Chen!
The chief of the Gu Yuan Tribe, Xiao Chen, has returned! "
