Chapter 27: The Strange Change in the Withered Tree_1

"Elders, warriors, there is no need for formality."

Xiao Chen, who had ridden up to the crowd, pulled back on the reins tightly. His warhorse immediately lifted its front hooves off the ground and stood still. Xiao Chen, who was straddling the warhorse, remained motionless, looking calmly at the crowd. A strong conviction resonated in every word he slowly articulated.

Clang, clang!

Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, the members of the Gu Yuan Tribe stood up one after another, accompanied by a series of weapon clashes. The Guardian Clan Soldiers, who were maintaining order at the city gate, tightly gripped their weapons. All of them looked fixedly, with eyes full of fire, at Xiao Chen standing atop his warhorse.

Whenever Xiao Chen's gaze swept over them, they couldn't help but straighten their bodies. Beads of sweat seeped through the palms of their hands out of excitement, unnoticed.
