Heart Cultivation

The Red Rider tribe was in the thicker part of the woods, and it was one of scariest part of this region, behind this part was the open area for wandering beasts, with the six months night, this area also enveloped in the darkness completely.

Second leader walked toward the tenting of the first tribe with the human girl, he was not sure whether he doing it right or not.

The Sleuth Custodians were following them behind, because of the permanent night, it was difficult to spot them especially when they were not the center of attention.

"I am amazed why master is ready to solve this conflict when she has better choice to leave," a sleuth custodian yawned, when they were in the Defender Hacienda they were most of the time slacking, after coming here, there was hardly any moment when they resolved in the air to take some rest, they have to constantly maintain their bodies and also keep look out in the surrounding.

"It will take us sometime before we could understand our new master," another custodian who was unwillingly resolving slowly shook and gathered the black smoke to stop his resolving body, they were truly slackers of Defender Hacienda, they were sure going to complain first master about it only if the first master was in good mood.

"I hope this new master follow the old master and be easy on us," third slacker custodian spoke and half way interrupted by the new master, "Keep your eyes open if you have…" Jen voiced before entering into the Bivouac of first leader, the tribe was more than silent.

With this warning, they immediately became alert.

Surprisingly, there was no more smoke which could hurt Jen and half beast, the first leader was sitting on the altar.

"What brought this half beast here again?" as soon as they entered, they heard the grim voice of the leader, he was aware that this six months night was challenge for the half beast tribe and in the previous years they never visited around except to protect their tribe, he got the news that despite one week pa.s.sed the human tribe did not attack.

"Leader, this human says that human tribe would not attempt a simple attack this time, I was here to seek your help," half beast leader humbly asked.

"You already know I am not into the matters of other tribes, if you facing threat you have to fight back there is no way," the first leader waved his hand.

"I seek forgiveness, what if the Red Riders tribe face the same situation?" this time Jen interrupted, she was not pleased with the answer by the evolved beast even if the half beast tribe was under danger it does not guarantee that human tribe would rely after abolis.h.i.+ng one tribe? If they have guts to chase a whole tribe then they would definitely have some plans for others too.

"It won"t be that easy, the evolved beasts aren"t laidback to trample on," the Red Rider leader spoke with confident, his whole tribe consisted evolved beasts and they were powerful, moreover they have the protection of broken will.

"People who rely on hopes usually regret in the end," Jen stood up saying this, she was disappointed at the answers of the Red Rider leader, this leader seemed arrogant on his sole power, he should have supported weaklings with his power instead he was sitting here and bragging on his so called rule.

With her words, the hoody gown shook and the first leader stood up, "I respect your ident.i.ty but I am not willing to leave my den, the peace is what I want, I don"t want to listen to you about the possibility whatever the human tribe is planning, I wanted to remain out of this mess," the first leader plainly refused to give any help.

The second leader who never heard first leader this angry was scared, he stepped back, Jen was standing still not ready to move an inch.

"You keep your peace then, I will do what I can," she turned and left the Bivouac, she has to think a way to tackle this problem with the help of half beasts.

Everyone have rights to live in the Celestial Sphere, some mad and powerful human cannot destroy the races without a concrete reason, this place should be safe for everyone, the one who would be destroyed in the end should be the one who was causing troubles for others.

The second leader also walked out, he lost his hope after listening to the first leader.

"Human, you alone cannot do anything, you should leave this region before the actual attack, we have been living in this region for a long time after we were chased away by the human colonies, if the human tribe wanted to chase away or kill we can only resist according to our strength and hope for the Defender to send someone for help though it"s just a false hope but it would comfort us sustain till the end.

They were walking toward the tribe when half beast leader spoke.

Jen was dumbstruck after she listened to the half beast leader now she could ask herself a question, the very important question, "why her great grandfather left her here, he could have send her at the more safe place, no?

Her great grandfather loved her so much, was he willing to throw in the dangerous place?

Of course not, he wanted her to do what she was meant for, she has taken vow to protect the Celestial Sphere wherever she would be, not just when she would become strongest but during her journey, during her learning and whenever there was need.

"Does that means Xuan Rong was aware of the situation here? This question no more has worth, what worth most the fact that her great grandfather expect her to use all means to support half beast tribe.

"I am called Jen and whenever I decide to support someone, I never back down even if the last drop of my blood is used up," Jen spoke determined, apparently she was looking a frail girl who was not only weak but belong a poor background, her clothing was ordinary and her hair was not fixed properly, Jen has long abandoned her previous ways from the time she lost her precious treasure, her happiness and peace, Zhi Chang.

She could see that second leader was not sure whether to believe her or not, she shook her head, "Fly forward and make sure no one is spying our conversation, also watch the human tribe and bring the news what they are up to?" Jen looked sideways and ordered Sleuth Custodians, because of dark night it was easy to spy others.

She kept her nightlight stone inside her storage and started walking, the second leader got stunned that this human was walking as if it was light for her and she could see.

Moreover he was puzzled, whom did she ordered, there was no one other than the two tigress who followed them for safety.

"Master, we will split and follow your orders," the Sleuth Custodian sensed the anger of the new master and immediately answered.

This anger matched with someone, right, the old master, when Xuan Rong was angry at something, he would order the same way.

When the half beast heard it, he looked up but there was no one, the Sleuth Custodians resolved and bolted to follow the orders.

Jen and the leader returned back in the tribe.

Leader wanted to ask what she was going to do, "How we will face all of them?"

"If the human tribe is planning then they should have acted long ago, since they are still silent that means their priority has changed a bit, we have to find this reason of alteration, we also need to keep in mind that not all of the human tribe is consisted of powerful people, no matter how many they are, they not bigger than a tribe," the normal cultivators have to use means to look through the dark night that means they were not a direct threat.

Few humans cannot be considered a tribe in actual sense.

If they were individuals then they could solve this trouble.

"Who are those slaves?" leader asked with curiosity.

"They are my custodians sent by my blood relation," Jen thought to keep it to herself since it was not necessary to disclose many things, right?

Now the half beast leader was at ease, but not completely, the words of the first leader were reverberating in his ears, "I don"t want to listen to you," he never thought that first leader would be this heartless.

It shattered his hopes, the half tribe would go through a blood bath in this six months night.

Possibly the whole tribe would vanish from the face of this region, it was certainly fated for their race.
