Chapter 1 Xiao Chen_1
"[The Chief has a new book out. Those who can't continue with the old one should give the new book a try, 'Rise of Humanity'. It melds the various drawbacks of the old book, creating a unique Great Wasteland!]
"[The new book 'Rise of Humanity', improves upon some deficiencies of the old book. You can come and vent on the new book, return to the book's page, just click on the author's name to see the new book!]
In the Eastern Region of the savage continent, in the Gu Yuan Tribe, it was time for the meeting in the Great Hall.
"Xiao Chen, don't be insolent! If you remain stubborn, you can't blame this Young Clan Leader for turning against you!" sneered a youth in the hall, lavishly dressed in beast skins, his face painted with an awful color.
"Ha ha! Your damned old man has already disappeared for more than a year, probably turned into monster dung by now. Without the protection of a Blood Refining Realm expert, the Gu Yuan Tribe is now easy prey to other races. I wonder how long you can hold out. Hehe! So, the Young Tribe Chief advises you: those who understand the times are the real heroes. Becoming a vassal of my Black Mountain Tribe is your only way out."
"How insolent! The Gu Yuan Tribe has been established for eight hundred years, and has killed countless foreign races. Countless tribesmen have spilled blood on battlefield, their souls returned to the earth, making great contributions to humanity. How can we let you be so unbridled here!"
Facing the youth's arrogance, a tribesman from the Gu Yuan Tribe finally couldn't help but roar loudly.
"What? Dissatisfied, do you want to kill me? I'm so scared, haha! Even your clan leader has become timid, what can you do to harm me?"
"I, the clan leader, look down upon you wimps! Hahaha..."
The brazen arrogance in the youth's eyes eventually managed to incite the tribe people outside the Great Hall's door. Everyone was excited, fists clenched, wishing they could slice him in two.
"My Young Clan Chief is reckless with his words. Please forgive him, Chief Xiao Chen. Although what he said was unpleasant, he means no harm and is telling the truth. After all, our two tribes have relied on each other for hundreds of years, and have jointly resisted the foreign races. He couldn't bear to see the Gu Yuan Tribe slaughtered by the foreign races."
Seeing the situation becoming uncontrollable, a haggard-looking old man sitting in a lower position hastily spoke up to mediate and showed a compassionate manner, persuading with kindly words.
Although he smiled, his face remained tight, which felt a bit fake.
To the members of the Gu Yuan Tribe, this man was no stranger at all. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing, ruthless to both the foreign races and his own people. Within a ten thousand-mile radius, the wickedness of Elder Sun was widely known, enough to stop children from crying in the night.
"Elder Sun, my father hasn't returned from hunting in the Great Wasteland yet. Though I'm temporarily holding his position, I'm young and might not be able to make major decisions. Perhaps my father will return one day, don't you think?"
The Black Mountain Tribe, with an old and young man, came menacingly to his door, Xiao Chen could hardly contain his anger.
"Be patient, must be patient! Now is not the time for revenge."
Under the green leather armor that no one could see, Xiao Chen's slender fingernails had already pierced deeply into his palm. The tingling sensation in his nerves was constantly reminding him to remain calm, his fair face marked with streaks of anger.
His father, the previous clan leader, hadn't returned home for more than a year. Most likely, he had encountered some misfortune. The tribe's forces had weakened, not only needing to protect against the savage foreign races but also the internal attacks from their own. The tribe's safety had become perilous.
Specifically, in the last half-year, the tribe had suffered dozens of attacks, suffering heavy losses and people living in fear. The villains hidden in the shadows could not wait to show their tusks and wanted to bite a piece of meat from the weak Gu Yuan Tribe. Therefore, Xiao Chen's actions could affect the entire body. He had no choice but to swallow the insult.
Even so, facing the threat of the Black Mountain Tribe, Xiao Chen's eyes swept over the two jesters below, his voice still firm as he pushed Elder Sun back.
Bang!
Seeing Xiao Chen unwilling to compromise, Xiong Yu slammed the table and in his self-righteousness said, "Since they are so ungrateful, let the Gu Yuan Tribe fend for themselves! Elder Sun, let's go, there'll be a time when they'll ask for us."
"Chief, you just give the command, I guarantee these two lunatics won't get out of our Gu Yuan Tribe alive."
"Yes, yes, yes! Kill these two maniacs, let the Black Mountain Tribe know that our Gu Yuan people are not just for fun."
Seeing the Gu Yuan Tribe's emotions running high, with the intent to kill them on the spot, the cunning and wily Elder Sun understood that matters had been pushed to the extreme. Now was not the time to push the Gu Yuan Tribe too hard.
Even though the Gu Yuan Tribe's strongest fighter wasn't there, other aspects of the tribe were not damaged. Even if the Black Mountain Tribe could forcefully swallow them up, it would heavily damage its vitality. If other tribes took advantage of their weakness, the gain would not be worth the loss. Therefore, the Gu Yuan Tribe couldn't be forced too hard now to avoid desperate measures.
"Cough Cough, Chief Xiao, are you asking us to be your esteemed tribe's guests? The old clan leader was a world-renowned hero, it's sad that his successors are not his equals, alas!"
Thinking of this, Elder Sun lamented sarcastically.
The aggressive stance from the Black Mountain Tribe was causing some unrest among his people. Xiao Chen knew he must make a stand. As a clan leader, he must protect his people, lead the tribe to expand its territory, and not allow others to insult his people. If he could not handle it well, his prestige would take a heavy blow.
