The Appointment Hall lasted for an entire day. Now that the dust had settled, the grand bonfire feast had begun.
Under the night sky, all the martial artists in the Gu Yuan Tribe and even outside the Ancient Bronze City had gathered. Clusters of bonfires were lit, and martial artists sang ancient war songs loudly amidst the flames. Young ladies danced gracefully in front of the bonfires.
Tens of millions of people were attending the bonfire feast. Countless martial artists had gathered, and jars of blood wine were brought out from the Gu Yuan Tribe. With a wave of his hand, Xiao Chen brought out all the blood wine brewed in the Gu Yuan Tribe. All the martial artists who had come to participate in the celebration today had a share!
Huge exotic beasts were placed on the bonfires. They might have been three-star exotic beasts that had dominated the mountains and forests when they were alive, but now they were just food for the crowd.
Compared to the excitement of the martial artists outside the city, the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe in the Ancient Bronze City were even more excited. Today was a celebration that belonged to the Gu Yuan Tribe!
It was only a celebration that belonged to the Gu Yuan Tribe!
Whether it was the powerhouses of the various tribe chiefs in the ancient city or the many people outside the city, they were all just supporting characters!
Crackle, crackle!
The area within a radius of 20 miles around the sacrificial altar had become the gathering place of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Fierce flames burned the beasts, and golden beast oil dripped down, causing the flames in the bonfires to explode from time to time!
The aroma of the meat spread for hundreds of miles!
In the corner, some of the elders of the Gu Yuan Tribe were holding a worn-out horn in one hand. They were blowing it with drunken eyes, completely ignoring the messy sounds it made.
Their other hand was holding a jar of wine and pouring it directly into their mouths. They didn't care about the blood wine spilling and soaking their beast robes. They even laughed loudly or sang loudly from time to time, looking like they had gone crazy!
However, no one cared at this moment. Everyone was enjoying themselves to their heart's content!
Some of the drunken strong men gathered together and started wrestling with each other amidst the loud cheers of the crowd!
There was even a drunken strong man who charged into the middle of the dancing young ladies. His clumsy dance naturally caused everyone to laugh.
However, a moment later, a woman rushed out of the crowd and arrived in front of the brawny man. She grabbed him by the ear and dragged him back while cursing, causing countless cultivators to clap and stomp their feet!
In the center of the bonfire, there were more than a dozen figures gathered. However, they attracted the attention of countless martial artists. Xiao Chen was dressed in a purple and blue battle suit. He had already taken off his cloak and arrived in front of the bonfire!
In front of the bonfire, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged. He casually grabbed a jar of wine and slapped the seal on it. He raised his head and poured the blood wine down his throat. It was spicy and sweet!
"Little brat Xiao, I did not misjudge you. Hahaha!"
As soon as he sat down, a voice sounded. A gray, stooped figure appeared in front of him.
At present, with Xiao Chen's status, there was only one person who dared to call him Xiao Chen. Even Marquis Ziyang addressed Xiao Chen as an equal.
Elder Shi!
"Hahaha …"
Gulp gulp gulp.
Elder Shi hugged the wine jar and gulped down the blood wine. Then, he grabbed Xiao Chen's shoulder again and said with a sleepy smile, "This old man has been most worried about not having a clean place to bury me in when I die. However, I no longer have to worry about that.
"The desolate border is guarded by you. Even if I die in some corner of the desolate border, I will die on the land that the human race guards. I will have no regrets!"
"Elder Shi."
Xiao Chen called out softly, but the old man had already closed his eyes. In reality, the blood wine prepared by the Gu Yuan Tribe today was not the simple blood wine brewed by ordinary tribes.
It was a true thousand-year-old medicinal wine brewed with thousands of years of spirit herbs and the precious blood of strange beasts. Then, it was placed in the space of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. With Azure's time acceleration, this was equivalent to an ancient wine that had been fermented for hundreds of years. It was not something that ordinary martial artists could enjoy.
There were martial artists everywhere who were swollen to the point that their entire bodies were red. All of them were practicing their fists on the spot. Some martial artists could not stand the surging blood energy and began wrestling to liven things up.
They were like swaying black bears. Every time they collided with each other with all their might, a rumble that sounded like war drums erupting as they vented the surging energy in their bodies.
Although the blood wine they drank was not the thousand-year-old blood wine that Xiao Chen had, it was still enough for ordinary martial artists to obtain considerable benefits.
This was the good fortune that the Gu Yuan Tribe had bestowed upon the martial artists who had come to participate in the celebration!
This was the reward that the barons of the desolate border bestowed upon their subordinates!
On the second day, these martial artists would experience more than just a small increase in strength!
Of course, this reward had used up all of the Gu Yuan Tribe's reserves. If not for the ferocious beasts in the Vicious Beast Mystic Realm, it would have been difficult to provide for so many martial artists.
In front of the huge bonfire in the center, there were four martial artists staring intently. They were not at all affected by the surrounding scenery. Even if they drank the blood wine, they did not indulge in it!
Marquis Ziyang, Ancestor Junmu, Venerable Green Dragon, and Xiao Chen. Now that the Gu Yuan Tribe was surrounded by millions of tribesmen, they needed to protect their tribesmen!
"In the future, my Desolate Court Lord will only serve as a foil in the desolate border region," Marquis Ziyang said after drinking a cup of blood wine.
"Marquis, you are flattering me. In the future, the Ancestral Court and I, Gu Yuan, will need to work together to guard the desolate border!" Xiao Chen returned the toast to Blood Spring with a smile.
As for the Green Flood Dragon Lord, he was hugging a beast leg that was a few feet long and was happily eating it. As for the Pure Wood Ancestor, he was squinting his eyes as he kept a beat with his hands. It was as if he was trying to create a battle song in the midst of all the noise.
Although the Gu Yuan Tribe had taken control of the desolate border region in the past, the Ancestral Court would only leave behind some simple elders to maintain the reputation of the Desolate Border Ancestral Court. Most of its forces would withdraw.
However, the desolate border was in a dangerous situation. Therefore, although the Gu Yuan Tribe was in charge of the desolate border, the Ancestral Court's main fighting force was still stationed in the desolate border to resist the enemy together. Perhaps after this war, Marquis Ziyang might leave!
The next day, the sun rose.
Roar!
In the vast sea of purple Qi, a Spirit Python reared its head back and roared. Immediately, the sound entered everyone's ears and spread to every cultivator within five hundred kilometers.
After a night of cheering and drinking blood wine to their heart's content, the ground was already filled with countless cultivators lying on the ground in all sorts of strange postures. However, as the dragon's roar penetrated their souls, they all woke up.
The martial artists felt the surge of power in their bodies and bowed to the ancient bronze city before leaving. It was a new day. They needed a new start!
Rumble!
The ancient bronze city rumbled and the originally short city walls grew longer again. Almost in the blink of an eye, it became a thousand feet tall again and surrounded the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Two days later.
Outside the Gu Yuan Tribe's green stone garden, eight figures knelt at the gate and bowed in the direction of the garden.
Soon, footsteps could be heard. A small purple figure quickly ran out of the garden, her two large eyes sparkling.
Arriving before her senior brothers and sisters, the little girl sobbed and shouted, "Master said that the Gu Yuan Tribe will always be your home."
The eight disciples bowed three times and kowtowed nine times towards the garden respectfully. Then, they stood up and looked at each other without saying a word.
Soon, Wei Yunwei carried Zi Yuan and patted her little head. "You have to listen to Master and Master's wife in the future. You can't be willful anymore, okay?"
After bidding farewell to her senior brothers and sisters, the little girl was very sensible. Although there were tears in her eyes, she still waved at her senior brothers and sisters.
Soon, eight streams of light rose from the center of the Gu Yuan Tribe in eight different directions.
Apart from the fourth disciple, Xiong Sheng, who had already built the South Town City, they had to plan the remaining seven cities by themselves. Fortunately, they had sufficient resources in their portable spaces.
However, they would have to rely on themselves next!
At the top of the main hall of the Bluestone Garden, a purple-green silhouette appeared. Looking at the eight streaks of light flying away, he let out a sigh. Soon after, another streak of light flew out of the ancient city, heading towards the northeast.
That was the direction that Wei Yunwei had left in!
A month later, the Gu Yuan Tribe became a Legend Marquis Division and became a Desolate Border Marquis Division. They were given 63 military divisions. When the news spread, it shocked more than ten human military divisions in the Eastern Wilderness and Southern Region.
Two months later, the Gu Yuan Tribe became a Legend Marquis Division and took control of a region. When the news spread to the Southern Region, more than a hundred human military divisions in the Eastern Wilderness and Southern Region knew about the birth of a Legend Marquis Division. It was Legend Gu Yuan!
