Initially, when the Huang Clan approached them, they were informed that this year, the Huang Clan had identified an increased presence of ferocious wild beasts. Seeking to unite the strength of various clans, the Huang Clan invited them to their territory. They were promised a designated place and location.
Filled with hope and reverence, they arrived, not expecting a lavish life in the Huang Clan but antic.i.p.ating the protection and accommodations offered.
Yet, as they neared the Huang Clan, a sense of unease crept in. The Huang Clan’s treatment of the arriving clansmen deviated from the promises made – no arrangements had been made for their stay.
“Tribe Chief, what’s happening? Why does something feel off?” Gary cautiously inquired of Gu Chaoyan.
Similar concerns echoed from the Thunder Fire Clan members.
Puzzled and surprised, everyone sought answers.
Gu Chaoyan, equally baffled, shook her head. She was as clueless about the situation as the others. This stark contrast from what the Huang Clan had communicated left her perplexed.
Recalling the sorcerer’s prior warning, Gu Chaoyan contemplated seeking him out for insights. However, upon searching, she found the sorcerer not in his pristine sorcerer attire but covered in dust, clad in animal skins.
Perplexed, Gu Chaoyan approached him. “What are you doing?”
“There is indeed an issue with the Huang Clan. If I appear as a sorcerer, I fear I won’t discern the truth and will face constraints. Hence, for now, I am just a member of the Five Elements Clan,” the sorcerer explained.
The sorcerer had decided to come to the Huang Clan because they sensed that something had occurred in the direction of the Brilliant Race in this land and sought to investigate.
Initially intending to go alone, he changed his plans upon hearing from the people sent by the Huang Clan, discerning that matters were more complex than they seemed. Hence, he joined the Five Elements Clan in their journey.
At the mountain’s base, he had warned the Five Elements Clan, but they insisted on proceeding to the Huang Clan, and he did not halt them, still uncertain about the unfolding situation.
“You don’t know what happened?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.
“I don’t know. Despite being a sorcerer, I’m not omnipotent on this mainland,” the sorcerer replied.
“Understood,” Gu Chaoyan acknowledged.
She surveyed the clan members and the situation ahead. Gathering the Five Elements Clan, she whispered, “Put away our bows and arrows quietly. Don’t let the Huang Clan notice. In case of any trouble with the Huang Clan, our bows and arrows might help protect our clansmen.”
Upon hearing this, the Five Elements Clan members swiftly stowed their bows, sensing that something was amiss. Revealing their weaponry might lead to unpredictable consequences.
Originally thinking their bows and arrows could improve their standing with the Huang Clan, they now hesitated.
After instructing the clan members, Gu Chaoyan turned to Adams, “When you return, instruct your people to keep quiet about the bows and arrows. Our two clans will still support each other. Once settled, we can provide you with some bows and arrows. In case of future challenges, everyone should strive to escape. Also, remember…”
“Be cautious of sorcerers. If anything occurs between us.”
