Chapter 282: High Emissary Feng Ming!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Outside the Leishan tribe, Zhu Qingshan of the Lieyang tribe had arrived with 800 tribe soldiers at the agreed time.
These 800 people were all above the Divine Strength realm. Each of them was wearing battle armor and holding a spear in their hands. Their bodies emitted a monstrous ferocious aura, and they had the powerful strength to fight against ten alone.
These 800 tribe soldiers were the Lieyang tribe’s entire reserve.
To rescue their leader, Zhu Huang, and at the same time stop the development of the Qingshan tribe, the Lieyang tribe put in all their effort this time. They wanted to unite with the Leishan tribe and destroy the Qingshan tribe in one fell swoop to prevent future troubles.
However, when Zhu Qingshan arrived at the Leishan tribe at the appointed time, he did see the powerful tribe soldiers of the Leishan tribe, but he did not see the Grand Elder Wu Xuan or the leader Wu Tianjue.
Instead, the leader was a muscular middle-aged man called Wu Mo. His cultivation and strength had already reached the early stage of the Divine Pedestal realm, only slightly weaker than Wu Xuan.
“Wu Mo, where are your Grand Elder and leader?” Zhu Qingshan asked in bewilderment.
Previously, Wu Xuan and Wu Tianjue had clearly agreed to attack the Qingshan tribe together, but now, they were nowhere to be seen. This made Zhu Qingshan somewhat dissatisfied.
Wu Mo’s expression was indifferent to his question.
“The leader has to guard the tribe and can’t leave easily. I will be fully responsible for leading the tribe’s soldiers to attack the Qingshan tribe this time,” Wu Mo replied calmly.
Guarding the tribe?
Zhu Qingshan frowned.
“What about your Grand Elder?”
“The Grand Elder is guarding the temple on Thunder Nether Mountain and can’t leave either. Recently, some small fries had tried to topple the temple, so the Grand Elder wants to guard it himself. What’s wrong? Could it be that I am unqualified to lead the Leishan tribe’s soldiers?”
Wu Mo’s cold eyes swept across Zhu Qingshan.
“This… I was just asking casually. It’s such a pity that both your Grand Elder and leader have to oversee the tribe. This time, they will miss an exciting show. Just in case, my Lieyang tribe paid a great price to invite a powerhouse at the perfection stage of the Divine Pedestal realm from Tianfeng City, to make sure we can annihilate the Qingshan tribe. It’s a pity that they won’t be able to see such a grand scene. Sigh…”
Zhu Qingshan said with a regretful expression.
What was that? A powerhouse from Tianfeng City?
Wu Mo’s heart trembled when he heard this.
Living in the Thunder Swamp region, he had heard a lot about Tianfeng City. It was a city built by the Tianfeng tribe, which had close to 100,000 tribesmen. The Tianfeng tribe was one of the magnates in the area surrounding Thunder Swamp.
“The Lieyang tribe is actually able to invite a powerhouse from the Tianfeng tribe? How did they do it?”
Wu Mo’s heart trembled.
Thump!
Just as he was in shock, an extremely powerful aura suddenly appeared. A green-robed man holding a paG.o.da walked out of a spiritual boat. He stood there like a stabilizing needle, unmoving.
“What? The perfection stage of the Divine Pedestal realm?”
With just a glance, Wu Mo’s expression instantly changed.
That person’s aura was too strong. In front of him, the strength of a mere early-stage Divine Pedestal realm was nothing at all.
“Let me introduce you. This is High Emissary Feng Ming of the Tianfeng tribe, a powerhouse at the perfection stage of the Divine Pedestal realm. This time, with the High Emissary overseeing the battle, it will be effortless to attack the Qingshan tribe,” Zhu Qingshan said respectfully.
Hearing this, Wu Mo nodded repeatedly. He did not dare to act rashly in front of Feng Ming.
“Kid, you are the leader of the Leishan tribe’s soldiers this time?”
Feng Ming’s sharp gaze swept over.
“Yes… Yes.”
Wu Mo replied with trepidation.
“Oh? Thinking back to the past, the Leishan tribe was also a large tribe that dominated an area. Even the Tianfeng tribe had to look up to you. To think you have declined to such a state… It really matches the saying that prosperity and decline never last.”
Feng Ming sighed with emotion.
The speaker may have no such intentions, but the listener took it to heart.
Although Wu Mo was displeased with Feng Ming’s mockery, he did not dare to show it. He only smiled apologetically.
Seeing this, Feng Ming also lost interest in teasing him.
“Let’s go. Since all of you have described the Qingshan tribe as so terrifying, I’d like to see it for myself. I want to destroy it as soon as possible and return as soon as possible.”
“Yes!
II
Since Feng Ming had spoken, Zhu Qingshan and Wu Mo naturally did not dare to disobey.
They each led their tribe’s soldiers and steered a huge spiritual boat toward Great Green Mountain aggressively.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
After they left, Wu Xuan and Wu Tianjue rode rainbow lights and appeared where they had been. Both of them had grave expressions on their faces.
“Grand Elder, the Lieyang tribe is actually able to invite experts from the Tianfeng tribe? I remember that their relationship with the Tianfeng tribe isn’t that good, right?”
Wu Tianjue frowned.
“It is indeed a little strange… However, my guess is that the Lieyang tribe must have paid a great price to invite just one powerhouse of the Tianfeng tribe. They probably don’t have the strength to invite a second cultivator at the perfection stage of the Divine Pedestal realm.”
Wu Xuan pondered and said.
Hearing this, Wu Tianjue’s thoughts moved.
“Grand Elder, are you saying… Could it be that the Lieyang tribe doesn’t have any powerhouses guarding it now?”
“Yes. The Leiyang tribe’s power and foundation are not much different from the Leishan tribe. It would be extremely difficult even for us to hire a cultivator at the perfection stage of the Divine Pedestal realm. I think that the Lieyang tribe most surely doesn’t have that strength either. Therefore, you should follow the original plan and head to the Lieyang tribe.”
“Alright.”
Wu Tianjue nodded slightly.
Since things had come to this, he had to give it a try no matter what because there was not much time left for the Leishan tribe.
Thinking of this, Wu Tianjue took a deep breath and bid farewell to Wu Xuan before heading straight for the Lieyang tribe.
The Lieyang tribe was located at the foot of the Blazing Sun Mountain. Like the Leishan tribe and the Qingshan tribe, the tribe was built on a mountain.
Whoosh!
When Wu Tianjue arrived at the Lieyang tribe on his spiritual boat, he saw that the lives of the tribe members were not affected by the war. They were still living in an orderly manner.
Some were focused on cultivation, while others were out hunting. The scene was very harmonious.
“Leader Wu?”
Just as Wu Tianjue was sizing up the Lieyang tribe’s situation, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind him.
He turned his head and saw that it was an old man.
Wu Tianjue was somewhat familiar with this person.
The other party was also a highly respected elder of the Lieyang tribe. His name was Zhu Qinghong. He was slightly weaker than Zhu Qingshan, having only just reached the early stage of the Divine Pedestal realm.
“Leader Wu, didn’t you go to attack the Qingshan tribe? Why did you come to the Lieyang tribe?”
Zhu Qinghong was confused.
“Yes, I was going to go. However, since the Lieyang tribe has invited High Emissary Feng Ming of the Tianfeng tribe, it’s a given that our attack on the Qingshan tribe will be successful. Therefore, I was worried that someone would take the opportunity to cause trouble in the Lieyang tribe, so I specially came over to take a look.”
Wu Tianjue found an excuse.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qinghong’s aged face immediately blossomed into a smile.
“Leader Wu is too courteous. It is the fortune of the Lieyang tribe that you have such intentions. Please come in.”
Zhu Qinghong invited enthusiastically.
Seeing this, Wu Tianjue immediately followed him into the Lieyang tribe.
“By the way, Elder Qinghong, how many high emissaries did your Lieyang tribe invite from the Tianfeng tribe?”
“Sigh, with the foundation of the Lieyang tribe, it’s already a great honor to be able to hire a high emissary to help after consuming all our reserves. How would we dare to expect to hire a few more? Just inviting Emissary Feng Ming alone had used up all of the Leiyang tribe’s a.s.sets.”
Zhu Qinghong sighed.
Hearing this, Wu Tianjue’s spirits were lifted.
“In that case, the Lieyang tribe currently doesn’t have any powerhouses above the Divine Pedestal realm?”
“Yes. The powerhouses of the tribe have all been brought away by the Grand Elder to attack the Qingshan tribe. There’s no one left.”
“If that’s the case, that’s great.”
A bright smile appeared on Wu Tianjue’s face.
“Leader Wu, what’s great?” Zhu Qinghong was confused.
“What I’m saying is, since the Lieyang tribe doesn’t have any Divine Pedestal realm powerhouses guarding it, then all of you can just die.”
After saying that, Wu Tianjue waved his hand and took out the Slaughter Array.
Boom!
An unparalleled killing intent descended and enveloped the entire Lieyang tribe-
