The Arrangements, Predicament and Problems In The Region (part 1)

The guardians of the human tribes gather at the big patched up tent, outside the human settlements, the atmosphere was filled with tension and annoyance unlike last time this has nothing to do with internal strife going on around the human tribe but something completely different but nonetheless it could still threaten the peace and sovereignty of their land and tribes.

Currently sitting in the tent was thirteen of the fifteen guardians, they were all waiting for the remaining two waiting for them to return before settling the whole affairs, all of them seems little restless over something and their faces were filled with worry and helplessness.

As usual the remaining twelve people were turned towards a certain person as if they were seeking something from this person, who sighed seeing this showing his helplessness with that sigh he, tiredly asked "What is it, why are you all looking at me for? is there something on my face?"

Although the person voice was tired one could still hear the sarcasm and annoyance in it, he was exactly the nominal leader amongst the guardians the amiable looking Old Man, there was an annoyance because they left him out in this matter despite his insistence of taking care of this matter they wholly decided against it thus send one old and one new members of their little group.

Their little group, which ruling the tribe from the shadows now officially taken part in the tribe structure they named themselves as the guardian council, which control over everything until the patriarch descend from wherever he disappeare to.

They have been more than little restless over the matters happening with them, in fact they have been very concerned over the fact what caused the Lord to be so angry and emit such a strong killing intent suddenly.

They didn't understand at that time quickly fleed the seen thinking he was disturbed by their petty rivalry and conflicts but after a few days they understand they couldn't climb up the mountain or don't have any Way to contact the Lord.

The situation remained the same, as the very first day, checked by Balli and Old Demon, there was traces of strong killing intent and tenant energy fluctuation so it was almost impossible to anyone get close to the Mountain or nearby area.

From the two the other concluded that if they dared to come any closer to this remanent energy or killing intent or the only ending they were going to face would be death they had a premonition it would be gruesome one to any one even muster up their courage to try.

But what would they do if they couldn't hear the order from the Lord for few days then what about few weeks, it was already nearing four weeks since the said incident but they didn't hear any instructions they were more and more troubled if it not for a brief command week after the incident they would have thought, something bad happened to the Lord.

Despite however they dislike the situation of under control of someone and decades of if not century in some cases, have been experiencing in governing the tribe affairs in just a week they started become reliant on this new lord of theirs, which give them and show them hope of survival of ever looming calamity.

It was indeed the case if they didn't hear the commend precisely they could have very likely assume something bad happened to the Lord probably sealed or worst killed by whatever happened back then; they still really couldn't understand the reason for the Lord to to take action like that even now they had some lingering doubts about that.

They were checking up on the Mountain and nearby area for any signs of energy dispersing they were thrilled and worried at the same time, it was a common knowledge the energy fluctuation of a fight could last in that area for at least half a day to the maximum of two days if they were strong like Old Demon or Balli, only Mistic Gate realm or qi realm could use their energy in the first place.

Old Man was very annoyed because the benefits of his casual strolling to check this up, he has been regularly checking up due to strange urge in him, he was startled understand he could harness the lingering killing intent, he later noticed that this was not the only case with him but Juala also frequently visiting this area from their brief talking he was understood something strange was going on quickly connected the dots.

As the only two people given techniques by the Lord somehow inexplicably they can harness this energy and killing intent, mastering their techniques more throghly and faster than ever he was little bit lacking in mastering the claw technique as for Juala, from what he learned she was given two techniques a fist and movement technique.

'How envious, if only I was given movement technique like that he would be invincible in his realm' but he knows why she getting special treatment, he could feel lord doing this for the wrongs in her life he was kind of taking a responsiblity as a leader should make towards their subject.

'Well if that kid Soodan learn similar fist technique, I couldn't simply dodging around put up some effort to deflect and attack to quickly Immobolize him ' he sighed, for the hundredth time he was forced to sit here; the fist technique Soodan used wasn't ordinary either despite a tier lower than profound technique it was passed down from generation to generation in their tribe and slowly improved by each user, they know how to utilize this and obtain more power during their fight.

Before he rise up to most powerful person in the tribe in everyone's eyes the strongest person was Soodan's master who was a generation older than him and terrifying person to fight the Old Demon despite his rise couldn't win him in the fight only managed to tie that's powerful that person was, for all his efforts he still wasn't a strongest person in sense.

He glanced at his friend who was beside him looking goofy and little absentminded, he even suspect that he was dubbed by one of this pretentious person's schemes, he could even guess the reason as his behavior over the couple of weeks must have take notice of what was going on simply preventing him from become any stronger.

Was there someone do things like that as a honorable guardian of the tribe why should he even do that, he couldn't be petty person. The Old Man didn't think so as he know his friend well he can attest he was that sort of petty person in fact he was like that since the time they got to know one another.

One of the new guardians spoke up "I think they might come up and join the meeting why don't we just start with the meeting " it was the guy who was friends with Soodan "We have many things to discuss, also our new tribes have taken care of some matters as well" he tried to make them understand their situation as well.

Taking charge of the large tribe was no small matter not mention they weren't from this tribes but appointed as one, not all of them wellcomming and grateful for stopping their tribe from facing possible humiliation in the future this is including the previous leader of their tribes.

The previous leaders were around naturally should be an Early or Middle qi realm expert or some rare cases late qi realm experts but like this four newbies the leaders also most likely experience a breakthrough or two have much high spirits in hopped of breaking through into peak stage but this appointment put them in disadvantage Left them little dissatisfied with the guardians decision on this.

So the only choice left for the former leaders to do was prove the tribe and guardians the current acting leader wasn't competent enough in leading the tribe so more often then not they tend to turn their tribe against the acting leaders slowly estrange them or even willingly back off from this position.

Of course it wasn't always the case, for something like that happened in the past few years or few decades this most certainly wouldn't the outcome they even welcome them with open arms as they care more about their status and benefits of maintaining their tribe status would more pressing matter it could be said this four people where quite unfortunate enough to face this sort of problems.

They are even more pressured then they ever should have, some even wished they shouldn't have broke into the peak stage easily as they know it wasn't just about obtaining status and power among their peers they were going to face this ever chasing calamity and the Lord was constantly watching them and observing their competentce if they failed to impress the Lord.

They would be losing out so much if that's happens, after the misunderstanding the other day they learned everything from the others and get a clear understanding of what was going on. They were literally Salivating after learning what could they achieve from emerge as a powerful race in the calamity they were desperately wanted to get into lords good book as old demon and Juala.

Balli spoke up after the newbie immediately support him "old fellow, I second it they didn't deserve this why should they wait for them. shouldn't it be the other way they have to rushed back not dwadling out there shrugging off their responsibility" His whole body shone with righteousness "I support this honest fellow in this" Balli stunned little seeing their lack of expression "Err"

But no one paid him any mind almost everyone was wary of him now little bit, as for the newbie he was merely sneered not even bothered to take a look at him or his funny righteous pose. The four of them know the Old Man could understand them better as he was also once encounter a similar situation even though no one was try to schemes against the old man he could still understand what they were feeling but they didn't expect harsh decline.

The Old Man shook his head, "don't worry, they were coming you don't have to be so concerned about this matter " sure enough after a less then five minutes every one could hear the sound of fastly aproching figures outside. Few people threw an impressed look at him including Balli who put on a amazed look but the old man simply sat look sage like with his calm expression.

The Old Man stared little bit longer at the one of them, He kept his eye on a Inaam for sometime after the Lord injured him and threaten him but now seeing him valuntarily go take a look particularly with a hot head newbie who also encounter similar experience with the Lord somewhat bother him, even Balli didn't think anything of it assured him, he still decided to kept an eye on this fellow.

He smiled and gesture them to sit down first, then all of them focusing their attention to the two as if guessing his cue Inaam said "We went around the Mountain and closely checked all the area around the Mountain. I don't think we could enter, I personally test this with the defensive treasure I have in my possession but it couldn't withstand the destructive energy"

He took out an crumbled metal plate there was cracks everywhere Aadhi who took a closer look grimace and said "It seems the energy wasn't disperse even little bit, I think only lord can disperse them we have no choice" he then said to Inaam "Kid bring this thing to me later maybe I can fix it " he could tell it doesn't completely destroyed, could be fixed Inaam nodded at him silently.

He would be happy as well, no one wants to let go of such a defense treasures, it was very rare very few of the guardians even possess something likes it currently so he was also unwilling to let such a chance slip Aadhi was well known for refining offensive and defensive treasure but refinement was not an easy process.

Dheeran said "I think what elder Aadhi, said make sense we Can't simply climbed up the Mountain since lord didn't disperse it then there must be reason behind this" he turned to look at them.

Few of them nodded their head in agreement, Juala seconded that "I don't know why but it's look like he doesn't want us to disturb him some time"

"Plausible, it's not like lord didn't instructed us nothing," Naala interjected indicating the brief order "He might be busy with something else don't bother him for sometime at least"

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, one of the newbie spoke up "What do you guys think have happened, for lord to react like that?" his thin mustache quivered little as he eagerly waiting for their response.

"What do you think?" Vandhi asked back with a little smirk on his face.

The Old Man spoke up cutting off the possible argument on the start, "I don't think any of that our business, remember that we shouldn't talk about somethings that was what make you live little longer" the newbie shuddered as he shrinked his head little.

The Old Man nodded his head in satisfaction as he continued "What Naala said make sense the Lord simply don't want us to interrupt him, he was likely busy with something else" he looked at everyone " Moving on was there anymore infiltration by those races I got a message three groups tried to infiltrate the forest around here, as they bound to notice something amiss by now"

Kada commented lightly "We just have to crush them wouldn't we" Dheeran laughed at this as he patted him on the back.

The Old Man nodded hearing their opinion, he didn't think much of this matter as well they are simply courting death by trying to be sneaky in their religion he asked "What do you guys think about the Region plan lord mentioned to us. How should we implement them"

They all have different opinions as they all spoke at the same time loudly he helplessly gesture them to stop "What are you guys doing, talk one by one it's serious issue understand that before you guys get started"

Aadhi said first "I think we should focus on internal matters before anything it should be our priority you guys understand right?"

kada agree with him "What elder Aadhi saying was correct there was all sort of rumours going on you would be surprised, how creative they were getting each day "

Kaari said his thoughts "My tribe started to asking why they couldn't allowed to pay their respect yet" He frowned as he continued "Few people tried to sneak around there but luckily get captured and punished"

"Such a thing happened " Mara asked with surprise and shock.

The Old Man frowned as he couldn't help before asking to Balli and Vandhi "Was the patrolling team being careless or what" his face was grim "This wouldn't do you guys have to arrangement better than this"

Balli said exaggeratedly "As I said before, we better have arrange few warriors regiments you guys wouldn't listening me then why blame me "
