Within the Dabei Clan, there are a total of three thousand tribes, residing for generations in the Inner Sanctum, with the Tamu Tribe being one of the weaker ones.
The border of the Inner Sanctum has one hundred and eight ancient steles, all engraved with the words of the Saint. These one hundred and eight steles are often rotated, guarded by the weakest tribes. Such as the Tamu Tribe, which rotates every thousand years to guard one of these steles. The reason for allowing only the weakest tribes to guard the steles is that no one has ever managed to remove the words of the Saint, nor has any tribe benefited from the steles... guarding is rely a formality, with no aning or benefit, serving only as a rembrance of the ancestors by their descendants. Thus, only the weakest tribes are needed to serve as laborers.
Every ten thousand years, the Holy Domain opens once, which is also the most botherso ti for the cultivators of the Dabei Clan. Every ti this happens, so audacious foreign cultivators attempt to penetrate the Inner Sanctum and step onto the sacred land of the Dabei Clan in search of treasures.
So even audacious foreign cultivators dare to attack the words of the Saint, not knowing the limits of the heavens and earth!
If the words of the Saint are not permitted by the Saint, how can they be ddled with by the cultivators of the first and second steps? Every ti the Holy Domain opens, foreign cultivators are killed by the words of the Saint, and there are also so True Immortals with high divine skills who are not killed by the words but are more or less severely injured. Rarely can anyone retreat unscathed under the words of the Saint, and even if they are lucky enough not to die, they are often intimidated by the awe of the Saint, leaving a shadow on their cultivation for life...
Tageli is the clan leader of the Tamu Tribe and the person with the highest cultivation in this generation, reaching the Mid Stage Enlightennt, considered one of the few True Immortal old monsters among the surrounding Dabei Tribes.
Today, like any other day, he led so clan mbers to cultivate in the underground cave, carrying out the thousand-year rotation guard duty. Being a True Immortal old monster but having to perform the most tedious guard duty without leaving his post made Tageli feel extrely oppressed, but there was no choice, as the Tamu Tribe’s strength was inferior. In the millennial tribal contest, the Tamu Tribe has lost twelve consecutive tis to the Southern Frontier Steppe’s tribes, ranking at the bottom... for weak tribes, being the laborers is a must, with no complaints, as this is the rule of the Dabei Clan.
In other words, the Tamu Tribe has been at the bottom of the strength ranking among the dozens of surrounding tribes for twelve thousand years. Outsiders call the Tamu Tribe the weakest wolf of the Southern Frontier Steppe... this makes many young n of the Tamu Tribe feel too ashad to lift their heads in front of outsiders! As the leader of the weakest tribe, Tageli also feels ashad.
Fortunately, this round of guarding the Saint Monunt is nearly over, and the next tribal contest is about to begin.
Outsiders are all waiting to see the Tamu Tribe at the bottom of the rankings for the thirteenth ti! This makes Tageli even more determined!
For this contest, Tageli has made thorough preparations, even shalessly borrowing several not-so-weak magical treasures from a few old friends... this ti, in the tribal contest, he does not allow the Tamu Tribe to co last again. He wants to lead the Tamu Tribe out of the fate of being the weakest in the Southern Frontier!
He confidently awaited the arrival of the millennium but unexpectedly, at this crucial mont, Ning Fan and others appeared, harboring desires for the Saint Monunt!
Damn it, is it the once-in-ten-thousand-year opening of the Holy Domain again? These damned foreign cultivators!
According to the Dabei Clan’s clan rules, if the steward tribe neglects their duties and allows birds and beasts to touch the Saint Monunt, it is considered a minor cri, punished with an additional thousand-year guard period; if foreign cultivators are allowed to touch the Saint Monunt, it is considered a major cri, with the clan leader having one-tenth of their cultivation abolished, and a thousand clan mbers bloodily sacrificed... that is a grave cri!
Therefore, upon learning that Ning Fan and Wu Laoba intended to touch the Saint Monunt, Tageli’s back was chilled in fear. If these two were really allowed to touch the Saint Monunt... Tageli dared not imagine the consequences. He could endure having one-tenth of his cultivation abolished, but more importantly, the Tamu Tribe, already thin in numbers, would lose a thousand fine young n, guilty and dead!
At such a critical juncture, even knowing that Ning Fan and Wu Laoba possess the terrifying cultivation of an Eternal Immortal Venerable, Tageli and the other stele guard cultivators still decided to take action.
Unfortunately, the result is obvious; with their skills alone, they simply couldn’t stop Ning Fan and the others.
"You... you cannot touch this monunt. I, Tageli, will fight to the death here today... to guard this monunt!" Tageli bit his teeth, declaring firmly.
According to the Dabei Clan’s rules, if the clan leader dies defending the stele, the other clan mbers can be pardoned from the negligence cri, exempting them from the penalty of sacrificing a thousand lives.
Tageli was ready to go all out; if today he truly couldn’t stop Ning Fan and the others from touching the Saint Monunt, then why not fight to the death here, at least protecting the lives of a thousand young n in the clan. Hmph, Plains people never lack blood and courage, why fear a battle!
Even if the opponent is an Eternal Immortal Venerable! A being he must look up to!
Ning Fan’s cold gaze softened slightly.
According to his nature, if he were attacked, regardless of the opponent’s strength, he would retaliate, but what he didn’t expect was that this Dabei Clan Master crossing into enlightennt seed to have so backbone, not hesitating to fight to the death, also determined to guard the Saint Monunt...
Recalling Burying Moon’s instructions, which advised not to beco hostile with the Dabei Clan during this trip, Ning Fan’s gaze cald down slightly, raising his hand slightly to restrain Wu Laoba, preventing him from taking action against the nearby Dabei Clan Master.
"Who are you? Why are you stopping from collecting the characters on this monunt?" Ning Fan said blandly, not continuing to collect the Saint’s words.
Firstly, it’s because he found that the Dabei tribe seems extrely averse to such behavior. If he were to truly collect the Saint text and offend the Dabei tribe, it would be disadvantageous for this journey... The adulthood of Jiuli is of utmost importance, compared to this matter, even the Saint text is not so significant.
Secondly, Ning Fan, upon taking action, tested the depths of the Saint Monunt. In fact, although he didn’t complete the action of collecting the Saint text, at the mont he made a move, he felt a terrifyingly dangerous aura from the monunt, one that surpassed the current defense of the God-Extinguishing Shield, and was still rising with the passage of ti!
These Saint texts are too terrifying, far beyond what he can currently collect. If he forcibly took them, although he wouldn’t suffer serious injuries, it would still result in an unsuccessful attempt... Of course, if it weren’t for considering the mood of the Dabei people, Ning Fan would have been willing to give it a try.
Seeing Ning Fan and the others did not continue to collect the Saint texts, nor did they intend to take action against the Tamu clan, Tageli and others breathed a slight sigh of relief. Tageli took a step forward, standing before the Tamu clan cultivators, and courteously saluted Ning Fan,
"I am Tageli, the clan leader of the Dabei Tamu clan, eting esteed friends from afar... Guarding the Saint Monunt is our duty. If there’s any offense, I hope you friends will kindly overlook it."
Tageli’s stance was very humble, although the Dabei tribe is xenophobic, if the other party is of the level of Eternal Immortal Venerable, it warrants different treatnt. After all, even within the Dabei tribe, the Eternal Immortal Venerables are few and strong. Unless Tageli himself was an Eternal Immortal Venerable, it would be foolish to offend Ning Fan and his party.
While speaking, Tageli secretly observed Ning Fan and the others’ expressions, noticing they weren’t bewildered by the term ’Dabei’, which piqued his interest.
It seems these foreign cultivators have heard of the Dabei tribe, and are not those guests who know nothing about the Dabei tribe...
"Since it’s a matter of duties, it indeed can’t be considered an offense. Rather, it was our recklessness not knowing this monunt is a sacred object of your tribe... If we had touched it, you, being the guardians, would have faced serious consequences," Ning Fan noted the cold sweat on Tageli and others’ foreheads, and speculated.
"Yes, fortunately, you did not touch the Saint Monunt, otherwise our Tamu clan would lose many n because of your actions. You too would be hunted by the Five Emperors of the Great Dabei, and absolutely wouldn’t leave the Supre Pill Sacred Domain alive!" exclaid several bold n of the Tamu clan angrily.
"Silence! In front of an Eternal Immortal Venerable, how dare you act so audaciously!" Tageli was frightened out of his wits, shouting at the bold Tamu n behind him.
The n of the Dabei tribe are rough by nature, so in terms of strategy, intrigue, and human relations, they are sowhat lacking. Simply put, among their cultivators, there are many rash individuals, who in their anger might even dare to curse in front of an Immortal King...
However, this doesn’t an the Dabei tribe doesn’t have cultivators who understand reason, like Tageli, who is not an impulsive person. Previously, he had to act against Ning Fan and others for the monunt’s protection; now that there’s room for resolution, Tageli naturally won’t allow his clansn to offend Ning Fan anymore.
After being scolded by Tageli, the rest of the Tamu clan cultivators dared not speak recklessly, though many still looked at Ning Fan with eyes blazing with anger.
"... The divine skill you used earlier should be Battle Soul Techniques, right?" Ning Fan ignored the rudeness of the several n and shifted the topic.
"Yes, the technique we used was indeed a collective Battle Soul Technique, which can be perford by multiple individuals together to increase the power of divine skills. My Dabei tribe cultivators are mostly born with dicine Souls, practicing dicine Soul divine skills; regardless of gender or age, most are Pill Masters." Tageli spoke with pride.
In the world, how many tribes are born with dicine Souls? Not many, not many at all. The Dabei tribe is one of the few. As a Dabei cultivator, one should be proud and honorable for being part of this tribe!
"Can we foreign cultivators walk freely in the inner sanctum of the Holy Domain?" Ning Fan changed the topic again.
"To be honest, the inner sanctum of the Holy Domain is the sacred land of our Dabei tribe. If a low-level foreign cultivator wants to enter, it is absolutely impossible. If they enter, they will at least be expelled by our tribe, or at worst, they can be executed... But if a True Immortal-level expert enters, it’s different. They only need to establish Three rits, endure Six Penalties, and abide by Twelve Prohibitions, then they can walk freely in the inner sanctum. If they defy this, they will still be expelled by our tribe’s experts..." Tageli explained cautiously, fearing that ntioning ’Three rits’, ’Six Penalties’, and ’Twelve Prohibitions’ might upset Ning Fan and the others.
Ning Fan and others indeed furrowed their eyebrows.
Three rits, Six Penalties, Twelve Prohibitions? It seems the restrictions on outsiders entering the inner sanctum are quite significant; it might greatly limit freedom.
Nobody likes being unnecessarily restricted; neither Ning Fan nor Wu Laoba would accept being disadvantaged, and Burying Moon, being an Immortal Emperor, would even less tolerate restriction. Thinking of this, Burying Moon first snorted with displeasure; back in her pri, when she entered the inner sanctum, she always went in by force, thus, she was repeatedly besieged by the Dabei tribe’s Immortal Emperors...
Unfortunately, she is no longer at her peak cultivation, lacking the privilege of dominating freely here.
"... Little Lusty Thief, when we enter the inner sanctum this ti, we can’t act too freely, we must accept the Dabei tribe’s restrictions. Otherwise, this journey will be very difficult... Moreover, by accepting their limitations, we can avoid many dangers and receive so degree of protection from the tribe. There are indeed many fierce creatures within the inner sanctum..." Burying Moon sighed and advised Ning Fan through a sound transmission, worried he was too young and spirited to accept restrictions.
To her surprise, Ning Fan didn’t take the many restrictions of the Dabei tribe to heart. Even though he felt so reluctance, for the matter of Jiuli’s coming-of-age, he was willing to make concessions as long as it did not compromise his principles.
"May I ask, what do the Three rits, Six Penalties, and Twelve Prohibitions of your noble clan refer to?" Ning Fan asked calmly.
"The Three rits refer to the requirent for every outsider cultivator entering the inner sanctum to achieve three human-level military achievent points for our Dabei Clan. Rest assured, among you are so with Eternal Immortal Venerable level strength; human-level military achievents should be easy as pie for you. The Six Penalties..."
Tageli paused, carefully observing Ning Fan. Seeing that Ning Fan showed no particular aversion to the word "penalty," he continued, "The Six Penalties an that outsiders must endure six penalties from our clan... These penalties are unavoidable but can be substituted. They are counted per head, pets not included... There are a total of four of you, which ans facing twenty-four penalties. With the cultivation levels of the two young ladies, should they endure the penalties, they might suffer injuries affecting their foundations. However, if these penalties are taken on by the two Immortal Venerables, it would not be difficult to bear it..."
Ning Fan frowned slightly but said nothing more. Seeing this, Tageli breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The Twelve Prohibitions are the twelve restrictions our Dabei Clan imposes on outsider cultivators... Rest assured, they are so of the most basic prohibitions. As long as you don’t engage in actions that infringe upon the interests of our Dabei Clan, you basically won’t trigger the sanctions."
Tageli further elaborated on the specifics of the Twelve Prohibitions.
He wasn’t foolish; it was clear that these people had intentions regarding the inner sanctum and would surely attempt to enter. The difference lay in whether they would force their way in or enter by adhering to the rules. If they forced their way in, their lives could be at risk; if they followed the rules... Tageli would warmly welco Ning Fan and the others into the inner sanctum.
Exclusion? It depends on who is being excluded!
If Ning Fan and his companions enter...
Tageli was already contemplating another thought and was just waiting to confirm that Ning Fan and his companions would indeed follow the rules before he would make a bold decision.
He would act as Ning Fan and his companions’ guarantor in the na of Chief Tamu!
"Even though their group only has four people, there are two Eternal Immortal Venerable level beings among them! If I vouch for them, they will definitely be classified under our Tamu Sect. In this way, I can, as the chief of Tamu, invite them to compete on behalf of our tribe in the grand competition! Hmph, if our tribe has two Eternal Immortal Venerables as strongholds, even if these individuals are limited by the penalties, their cultivation will not be at the bottom in the competition; they will likely achieve a very good ranking!"
Thinking of this, Tageli beca more enthusiastic about Ning Fan and his companions. Upon confirming that they would abide by the rules, Tageli was overjoyed and inford them of the Dabei Clan’s vouching system.
"... So, if we want to enter the inner sanctum, we must nominally join any tribe of your clan?" Ning Fan asked in surprise.
"Correct! Although there are two Eternal Immortal Venerables among you, should you suffer the penalties, your cultivations will be extrely restricted, with your capabilities likely peaking at the Shedding Void Stage... If you join other tribes, they might only treat you as a Shedding Void, and may not be too hospitable. After all, most tribes in our Dabei Clan have no shortage of Shedding Void figures. But it’s different for our Tamu Sect; our tribe has no Shedding Void. If you join our Tamu Sect, I, Tageli, can guarantee not to treat outside cultivators as poorly as other chiefs might, and promise to offer you the highest degree of respect!"
Tageli assured solemnly.
Ning Fan was secretly surprised.
He hadn’t known that after enduring the Six Penalties, a cultivator’s cultivation would be restricted, with maximum capabilities only reaching Shedding Void. Tageli hadn’t ntioned this in detail earlier... and he also didn’t know that joining other tribes might result in humiliation from those tribes...
"... The cultivators of the Dabei Clan are all brawn and not friendly to outsiders. Few treat outsiders with the courtesy that Tageli does, and they are quite unreasonable... uh, that might not be entirely accurate, but once you’ve had deeper interactions with the Dabei Clan’s cultivators, you’ll understand the degree of their clumsiness far exceeds your imagination... As for the Six Penalties, don’t worry too much. The so-called restriction on cultivation actually doesn’t have a significant impact; you’ll understand why soon," Burying Moon secretly transmitted.
"So you’re suggesting we just join the Tamu Sect?" Ning Fan transmitted back.
"Yes, by joining such a small tribe, we can receive enough attention and respect," Burying Moon answered.
"Very well, you know more about the inner sanctum. We’ll go with your suggestion then."
Ning Fan pondered for a mont, then agreed to Tageli’s invitation. After discussing so details, they officially entered the Inner Sanctum with the Tamu Sect as guarantor.
Tageli had been guarding the Saint Monunt for nearly a millennium, and there was less than a month left until the grand competition. According to the rules, they could leave this place and prepare for the competition without needing to guard the monunt anymore.
This also ant that the upcoming period would see a gap in the defense around the Saint Monunt. During this ti, if soone touched the monunt, it wouldn’t implicate the Tamu Sect in any accountability...
Tageli secretly shared this information with Ning Fan after he agreed to join the Tamu Sect.
"...If you really can’t forget the Saint Monunt, you can sneak a look during the guard’s gap period of the Great Competition, as long as you’re discreet and don’t get discovered by our clan..." Tageli really knew how to handle matters. If it were any other muscle-bound man of the Tamu Tribe, they would never speak such contradicting words...
"Thanks for the tip." Ning Fan accepted Tageli’s goodwill. He also hoped to maintain a good working relationship with Tageli, the Tamu Clan Leader, during his stay in the Inner Sanctum, which should make this journey much smoother.
As they chatted along the way, Ning Fan also gleaned a lot of information from Tageli. For instance, the area he entered was a continent nad the Southern Frontier Steppe within the Inner Sanctum.
The Inner Sanctum comprises tens of thousands of Broken Continents, most of which are uninhabited and lack Spiritual Energy, with only a few being suitable for living, where Daxian Cultivators reside for generations. The Southern Frontier Steppe is one such continent, and there are 107 others, exactly matching the number of Saint Monunts.
Thus, many Daxian Cultivators firmly believe that the existence of the 108 Saint Monunts allows the Great Humble Ones to maintain 108 habitats.
On the Southern Frontier Steppe, there are 35 tribes, with the Tamu Tribe being the weakest. The other Southern Frontier Tribes generally have Shedding Void protectors...
In a month’s ti, it will be the day of the Great Competition for the Daxian Tribe, where each continent will first hold smaller competitions. The weakest will be punished with guarding the monunt for a millennium, while the strongest can go to the Central Continent to participate in the next round of Great Competition!
"...Regarding the Southern Frontier’s small competition, as long as everyone puts in a little effort, we definitely won’t be last. There’s no hope for first place. After the penalty, alas, we certainly won’t take the first in Southern Frontier. What a pity, what a pity! If we could take first, we could participate in the Central Continent’s Great Competition. If we place well, we might even catch the attention of the Central Continent Five Emperors and receive great benefits... Forget it. If we can stop relegating my Tamu Tribe to the bottom, I will be extrely satisfied. Hmph! The Evil Sheep Tribe even claid they would lead us by 3,000 points this ti... Let’s see who leads who this ti!"
Tageli casually chatted with Ning Fan as he shared Tamu Tribe’s current predicant with him.
This left Ning Fan speechless, realizing that the Tamu Tribe he joined was not only the weakest tribe in the Southern Frontier but possibly the weakest in the entire Daxian Tribe...
Yet even the weakest tribe has a Mid Stage Enlightennt seated. Ordinary tribes have Shedding Void seated, middle-tiered tribes have Shattered Thought seated.
In the Daxian Tribe, there are over seventy tribes with an Eternal Immortal Venerable seated, and seventeen with an Immortal King’s seat!
Officially, the Daxian Tribe has only the Central Continent Five Emperors as Immortal Emperors, but secretly, Tageli tells Ning Fan an astonishing news.
The Immortal Emperors in the Daxian Tribe far exceed the Central Continent Five Emperors. The Five Emperors of the Central Continent consist of only five people. Whenever an Immortal King breaks through to Immortal Emperor, they beco one of the Central Continent Five Emperors, and the ones displaced go to the Daxian Tribe’s highest forbidden land to cultivate, ignoring secular affairs...
Tageli, due to his status, is not qualified to know how many Immortal Emperors there are secretly, but he is sure it’s much more than five!
Not tearing apart relations with the Daxian Tribe imdiately upon entering the Inner Sanctum seed to be a wise decision...
Ning Fan subtly inquires about information on the Jiuli Ritual Vessel and although he is tactful and doesn’t explicitly ntion the vessel, he still couldn’t gather even indirect information.
Sure enough, the Jiuli Ritual Vessel will have to be found by himself...
The Tamu Tribe’s community is built on a plain in the central part of the Southern Frontier, contrary to Ning Fan’s imagined scenes of underground caves everywhere. The Tamu Tribe people do not live underground but reside in tents, entering the caves only during cultivation, while daily activities occur in the tents.
The community is not large, with only about thirty thousand people, which is related to the bloodline of the Daxian Tribe. These people are often born with a dicine Soul, but have a very low fertility rate, hence the tribe remains small. Only fifteen tribes in the Southern Frontier Steppe have more than one hundred thousand people.
It’s been a thousand years since Tageli went out to guard the Saint Monunt. The Tamu Tribe Guards, clad in leather armor and long boots, are clashing with a group outside the tribe.
Mu Ka, the Captain of a Thousand for Tamu Tribe, flushed with anger, is arguing with the Young Chief of the Xieyang Clan.
"My Pearl of Mohe was lost during my last visit to your Tamu Tribe, and I want to search your entire tribe. What’s wrong with that? Why are you preventing ?" Xianyu Chun glared slightly nacingly at Mu Ka, who dared defy him—a re Captain of a Thousand opposing the Young Chief of the Evil Sheep Tribe. How absurd!
"What a joke! Who doesn’t know that the Pearl of Mohe is a treasure of our Southern Frontier, capable of gathering Spiritual Energy from all four directions. If it were truly within my Tamu Tribes, it would have caused a change in Spiritual Energy... The Pearl of Mohe is not here. You’re just looking for an excuse to enter our Tamu Tribe’s dicine Pool and take the dicine Marrow that takes a millennium to form! You are trying to take advantage of our Chief’s absence to bully us, aren’t you?" Mu Ka said angrily. Despite being a typical muscle-head, he sohow grasped Xianyu Chun’s true motives. Xianyu Chun’s pretext was indeed terrible; anyone could see through it.
Of course, that’s for most people.
The Dabei Clan cultivators are mostly clumsy, not everyone can understand Xianyu Chun’s true intentions.
"What! The Young Chief of the Evil Sheep Sect has such intentions! He is coveting our sect’s Thousand-Year dicine Marrow!" So of the Tamu Sect guards were shocked.
"I actually believed he lost the Pearl of Mohe and even helped him look for it for half a day!" So Tamu clansn with intellectual shortcomings felt ashad.
"...Master Mu Ka, I found the Pearl of Mohe! I found it in my mom’s sheep pen!" A Tamu tribesman who seed even more foolish ran over at this mont, holding a stone about the size of a goose egg.
That’s a stone, isn’t it! There’s even sheep dung on it!
It doesn’t glow at all, what nonsense pearl!
How co each of my subordinates is more stupid than the last!
Mu Ka’s head throbbed with pain, but it wasn’t a good ti to scold his subordinates for their stupidity, as he was busy arguing with the Young Chief of the Evil Sheep Sect.
"Master Xianyu, I have seen through your sche!" Mu Ka shouted angrily.
"What! You saw through the ingenious plan I spent ten days devising!" Xianyu Chun appeared utterly shocked, indicating his intelligence wasn’t very high either.
"In fact, I received a report from an informant three days ago saying you would use such a sche, otherwise, it’s hard to imagine; the loss of the pearl was just a pretense... The plan is indeed perfect, but unfortunately, human calculations are inferior to heavenly calculations, your Evil Sheep Sect has a mole..." It turns out Mu Ka wasn’t very smart either...
"What! My sect has a mole who leaked my plan! Tell , who is that mole!" Xianyu Chun was furious.
"Do you think I’m stupid enough to tell you who the mole is! I absolutely won’t tell you that the mole is your cousin Xianyu Zhu!" Mu Ka hadn’t realized he misspoke.
"Damn it, you won’t tell ... Wait, you just said Xianyu Zhu, it’s him, isn’t it!" Xianyu Chun reacted.
Mu Ka realized his slip of the tongue and was shocked, quickly changing his words, "No, I was just talking nonsense earlier, it’s not Xianyu Zhu, it’s soone I don’t know who told ."
"So it wasn’t Xianyu Zhu, but soone you don’t know who told you..." Xianyu Chun believed it.
"Then... you have ti to co to my tribe and tell all the people you don’t know in my tribe. I want to find out who that mole you don’t know is!" Xianyu Chun foolishly ordered.
"I refuse, I’m a Captain of a Thousand for the Tamu Sect, I refuse to obey your command!"
"What, you dare refuse my order! You..."
Xianyu Chun was furious and was about to act out when a sowhat clever Evil Sheep sect cultivator secretly reminded him through transmission, "Young Chief, don’t forget our purpose for coming here, there’s no need to get entangled with Mu Ka..."
"Right! I actually forgot we ca for the Thousand-Year dicine Marrow, um, forgot to transmit, accidentally said it out loud..." The foolish Xianyu Chun forgot to transmit conversation, revealing the true purpose.
Instantly, the Tamu Sect guards were angry! They heard that Xianyu Chun personally admitted he ca to plot for the Thousand-Year dicine Marrow!
The Evil Sheep Sect guards heard that! Their Young Chief actually wants to plot for soone else’s Thousand-Year dicine Marrow... They really thought the chief wanted to find the Pearl of Mohe, how foolish are they!
"You really ca to steal the Thousand-Year dicine Marrow, I Mu Ka will fight to the death today and never let you take the chief’s dicine Marrow!" Mu Ka and many Tamu guards appeared ready to die, as if to protect the chief’s dicine Marrow, they would sacrifice themselves at any mont!
"Hmph, anything the Young Chief wants, we will fight to the death to seize it, especially since this ti we have an Evil Wheel Mage of the Late Stage Enlightennt, even if your sect chief is here, what can he do! We will directly rob, execute a tribe plunder, and easily take the Thousand-Year dicine Marrow!" The Evil Sheep guards all shouted, showing utmost loyalty to the Young Chief, and considering their level of foolishness, such loyalty was definitely genuine.
Xianyu Chun internally cursed his foolishness; he couldn’t believe he forgot his sect’s strength far surpasses the Tamu Sect. According to tribal rules, within the sa continent tribe, they can plunder as long as they don’t kill people, they can freely rob, seize won, cultivation resources... Of course, married won cannot be seized, which is a hard rule of Dabei Clan...
Forgot, forgot... He, as the Young Chief of the Evil Sheep Sect, absolutely didn’t need to spend ten days devising such a master plan, he could directly execute a tribe plunder!
"I, in the na of the Young Chief of the Evil Sheep Sect, declare a tribe plunder on your Tamu Sect. I will seize all your resources, seize all your unmarried won, seize all your Thousand-Year dicine Marrow, seize..."
"Who dares to seize from my Tamu Sect!"
This voice belonged to the just returned Tageli, angrily roaring to the sky!
He was in rage; his Tamu Sect may be weak, but surely not weak enough to be bullied!
Did this Xianyu Chun forget his Tamu Sect has a Clan Protecting Corpse Demon! If used, even if the Evil Sheep Sect sends Late Stage Enlightennt experts, what could they do, they’d only suffer losses, only return in vain!
Ugh, forgot, given Xianyu Chun’s brain, he probably completely forgot about the Tamu Sect’s Clan Protecting Corpse Demon... Tageli felt speechless, he forgot the fact that intelligent people are scarce in the Dabei Clan.
Speaking of which, why didn’t Mu Ka and others deploy the Clan Protecting Corpse Demon to guard the sect when guarding was understaffed?
Ugh, they forgot... Given Mu Ka and others’ intelligence, they probably forgot about it too...
A true conflict between idiots and idiots...
Tageli looked sowhat ashadly at Ning Fan and others, landing outside the tribe.
He clearly saw Ning Fan and others’ strange expressions, while only Burying Moon appeared accustod, as if used to the foolishness of the Dabei Clan.
How embarrassing...
"The Dabei Clan is quite interesting..." Ning Fan stroked his chin, revealing a half-smile.
"The Dabei Tribe is the dicine Slave descendants of the Herb-gathering Sage, ntally incomplete, a result of human calamity... The ancient idiom goes, of ten cultivators of the Dabei Clan, nine are pure, which was the saying of our era. In the past, not everyone knew, in this era, you probably have never heard of it..." Burying Moon transmitted.
"Didn’t you say you didn’t know much about the Dabei Clan?" Ning Fan said irritably, now seeming to know everything.
"I ant I don’t know much about the top cultivators; the peak powerful ones of the Dabei Clan have deep waters..." Burying Moon expressed so worries, then said, "You should just watch. This kind of foolish conflict is probably the first you’ve encountered in your cultivation journey; the Dabei Clan is truly peculiar... Of course, not every Dabei tribesman is like this, cultivators who reach the Tiless Realm absolutely can’t be ntally deficient..."
Everyone landed following Tageli.
The foolish guards from both sides rely glanced at Ning Fan and others and ignored them.
At this mont, in their dispute, they simply had no ti to pay attention to Ning Fan and others, even if they felt Ning Fan and others’ attire was strange, they didn’t have the ti to inquire.
Today, the Tamu Sect guards and Evil Sheep Sect guards must contend for supremacy!
"So, Clan Leader Tageli has returned, right when you return, hand over your Thousand-Year dicine Marrow!" Xianyu Chun’s cold light shone in his eyes, although foolish, his heart was ruthless and rciless. Since he decided to break with the Tamu Sect, he wouldn’t hold back.
"You wish to seize our sect’s dicine Marrow, dream on!"
"Hmph! Tageli! You may be Mid Stage Enlightennt, but don’t forget, we have a Late Stage Enlightennt expert here! If you know what’s good for you, hand over the Thousand-Year dicine Marrow, or don’t bla for my n’s rcilessness!" Xianyu Chun clapped his hands, and imdiately a fat-headed, big-eared monk robe cultivator stepped forward.
"Evil Wheel Mage..." Tageli’s eyes narrowed. This person, with cultivation at the late stage of Enlightennt, had quite a renowned reputation on the Southern Frontier Steppe.
"Tageli, you are no match for ! Our Young Sect Leader may be sowhat naive, but the Clan Leader isn’t foolish. I know what you’re thinking, but unfortunately, your Clan Protecting Corpse Demon can’t be used this ti! Because we’ve brought our Clan Protecting Corpse Demon as well! If you use yours, we will use ours too!"
Evil Wheel clasped his hands, and imdiately the entire ground trembled. Then suddenly, there was a crack in the grassy mud, from which wisps of black mist floated out.
An overwhelmingly strong Shattered Thought aura imdiately emanated from within!
"Isn’t this... the death cultivator seen in the Divine City Forbidden Land?" Wu Laoba’s eyes narrowed slightly in contemplation.
"This is... a Corpse Demon killed by dicine..." Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with an Azure Spike as he saw the corrosive dicinal aura within each Corpse Demon’s body. No mistaking it, they were all killed by dicine and turned into Corpse Demons.
That was a Corpse Demon identical to those dead cultivator bodies in the Divine City Forbidden Land! Its limbs were bound with chains, and malevolent energy surged around it.
Cries of shock erupted from all around.
No one expected that the Evil Wheel Mage would bring out the Evil Sheep Sect’s guardian Corpse Demon!
A Shattered Thought Early Stage Corpse Demon! Once it acts, there will be blood for sure, and definitely countless casualties!
"Evil Wheel! Why am I, the Young Sect Leader, unaware of you bringing out the guardian Corpse Demon?" Xianyu Chun felt a rush of anger.
"These are the Clan Leader’s orders..." Evil Wheel said with a hint of helplessness. If everything had to be reported to the Young Sect Leader, wouldn’t everything be leaked...
"Enough, since it’s Father’s order, forget it for this ti, but rember, there won’t be a next ti!" Xianyu Chun said coldly.
"Yes..." Evil Wheel broke out in a cold sweat. Don’t be fooled by Xianyu Chun’s naivety, but in terms of ruthlessness, he’s one of the top in the Southern Frontier, and his cultivation talent is first-rate. That’s why even being naive, his father values him, keeping him as the Young Sect Leader of the Evil Sheep Clan...
Composing himself, Evil Wheel threatened Tageli again, "Today’s matter naturally shouldn’t involve the Clan Protecting Corpse Demons. Can Chief Ta agree on this point?"
"Indeed, there’s no need to use the Clan Protecting Corpse Demons this ti..."
Tageli snorted coldly and stepped sideways slightly, revealing Ning Fan and his companions behind him.
"They are..." Evil Wheel Mage’s eyes narrowed. Just seeing Ning Fan and the others’ attire, he knew they were foreign cultivators! And since these people were brought by Tageli, it’s obvious that Tageli decided to sponsor them, recruiting them to temporarily join the Tamu Clan.
The Supre Pill Sacred Domain, which opens once every ten thousand years... Could these people be those legendary practitioners from the outer Eastern Heaven...?
Being valued by Tageli, these people shouldn’t be weak, and having not been through the Six Penalties yet, they must still retain their original cultivations, so he couldn’t be careless...
"Are you the leader of these people?" Evil Wheel Mage asked Wu Laoba.
Though Wu Laoba looked sowhat ugly, he seed the most villainous, naturally giving off an aura of strength.
In contrast, Ning Fan appeared too gentle, and Burying Moon and Ouyang Nuan were won, so they were naturally overlooked by the Evil Wheel Mage.
"? I’m just a little loyal servant. This is the master! Your eyes are lacking, youngster."
Wu Laoba snorted slightly and stepped back half a step, positioning himself behind Ning Fan, looking at Ning Fan with utmost reverence, showing an overly flattering deanor.
Evil Wheel Mage frowned. These re foreign cultivators dared to call him a youngster... He glanced suspiciously at Ning Fan. How could such a gentle-looking person be the leader of this group? Unfortunately, his cultivation was too low, only late stage of Enlightennt. If Ning Fan and Wu Laoba deliberately concealed it, he wouldn’t be able to perceive their astonishing cultivations.
Ning Fan could tell that Tageli wanted to leverage their group’s influence to intimidate the cultivators of the Evil Sheep Clan, achieving a bloodless victory. For now, they were in a cooperative relationship, and if it was only leveraging their influence, he didn’t mind lending a hand...
"Release your aura, don’t hold back, but don’t hurt anyone," Ning Fan looked deeply at Tageli, then instructed Wu Laoba.
Wu Laoba’s whole body trembled instantly! As a loyal servant of the highest order, he absolutely had to faithfully execute the master’s command! As he released his oppressive aura, an earth-shattering pressure swept out like a storm, spreading across the entire grassland!
The entire Southern Frontier Steppe was stunned!
Only because from the direction of the Tamu Clan, they felt an ancient aura!
"A- Ancient Immortal Venerable!" Evil Wheel Mage’s tongue trembled. He was standing too close to Wu Laoba, and facing Wu Laoba’s pressure directly was like an ant being crushed by Mountain Tai, his whole body was in pain and he could barely move!
Inconceivable, unimaginable! This ti, the Tamu Clan actually recruited an Immortal Venerable level foreign cultivator! With this, never mind the tribal competition, this ti’s fight for dicinal Marrow was sure to end in failure!
"Let’s drop this matter here, my Evil Sheep Sect has been reckless!"
Evil Wheel Mage gritted his teeth, knowing it was unwise, and at this mont, he only wanted to withdraw and leave.
Tageli snorted coldly on the surface but breathed a sigh of relief inside. It was perfect for Evil Wheel Mage to back off...
Ning Fan also did not pursue the Evil Sheep Clan relentlessly as he was ultimately an outsider. How local tribes fought amongst themselves was their own affair, but if he intervened too much, it could easily provoke suppression from local tribes...
He wanted to build a good relationship with the Tamu Clan, but he couldn’t offend the other Great Humble Tribe clans excessively... This was not his usual style, but for the sake of his ntor in Ancient Chaos, he had to do this, even if he was unwilling!
The cultivators from the Evil Sheep Clan, no matter how foolish, now understood that they couldn’t win against an Ancient Immortal Venerable. At this mont, they only wanted to leave this place.
However, Xianyu Chun was unwilling! His face was indecisive, stepping forward, his finger trembling as he pointed at Ning Fan, seemingly extrely excited.
"You, you, you..." He was so excited that he couldn’t even speak!
Was it because he was extrely angry? Why was he so excited! Evil Wheel Mage cursed inwardly, their Young Sect Leader was too foolish, and if he insisted on provoking Ning Fan... it wouldn’t be wise, not wise! Even though the other party was rely a foreign cultivator, and even though the other’s cultivation was unknown, no matter how weak they were, as long as they had an Immortal Venerable servants, they were definitely not an entity the Evil Sheep Sect could provoke!
"Young Sect Leader, you must not offend this person!"
"Get lost, get lost, get lost! I obviously know this person is not to be offended! The charisma, so charismatic, in my entire life, haven’t I sought such a magnificent deanor! With a word, an Immortal Venerable servant appears to intimidate all directions, changing the color of the sky and earth... So charismatic! I’ve decided!"
Thump!
Xianyu Chun kneeled in front of Ning Fan.
"I want to beco your disciple! I want to live as gloriously as you do! The Evil Sheep Sect is too small, the Southern Frontier Steppe is too small! I want to be like you, bursting with presence!"
Ning Fan was stunned.
Was he being accepted as a disciple? By an exceptionally peculiar and foolish person?
