At this mont, Number One unexpectedly walked over slowly.
"I really didn’t expect that your cultivation has reached such a profound level!"
Originally, he was far from Ye Luo, so the power of that strike was far less on him than on Ye Luo.
Even so, he suffered a considerable internal injury, but Ye Luo was completely unhard, which showed that Ye Luo’s cultivation was far superior to his own.
Hearing this, Ye Luo rely smiled, "It’s just luck!"
"If you don’t mind, why don’t you co to my cave mansion for a chat? I just happen to have so good wine there to calm our nerves!" he suddenly suggested.
Ye Luo was just about to learn more from him, after all, his status was higher than many of the Inner Sect Disciples, and he surely knew many secrets.
Moreover, he intended to win over Ye Luo, so he wouldn’t deliberately hide anything from him.
"Alright then!" Ye Luo nodded in agreent.
Imdiately, a smile appeared on his face, maybe because he didn’t expect Ye Luo to agree so readily.
Then, not only Ye Luo, but also the young man who had escaped with them before, followed along.
After all, they had escaped together before and were like grasshoppers tied to the sa rope.
Of course, there were very few errants who could make it through this Martial Arena intact.
What was supposed to be a grand event of the Moonwater Tribe turned into this; surely, the other clans were watching and laughing at the Moonwater Tribe!
After all, the Moonwater Tribe itself was not stringent in its disciple screening, and it was not surprising that there were spies from other clans.
Inside a grand hall within the Moonwater Palace.
The Vice Clan Leader and the Great Sacrificial Rite sat on the main seats, with several powerful figures from the clan standing by their side.
Opposite them was that supre powerhouse.
Although his scimitar was confiscated, his eyes were full of indifference, displaying no hint of dread.
"Vice Clan Leader, calm your anger. After all, he is the totem’s representative. If you really kill him, those errants won’t co back to life, and it would only upset the totem!" said the Great Sacrificial Rite promptly.
He understood that the Vice Clan Leader had already developed a killing intent towards this powerhouse.
"Humph, the totem was supposed to be the guardian of the Moonwater Tribe, and now, what do we have? It has raised a butcher’s knife against us. This ti it was the errants; next ti, will it be the Inner Sect Disciples or even the Core Disciples! Will the entire Moonwater Tribe be buried in his hands!" the Vice Clan Leader snorted coldly.
Obviously, he was truly angry not at that powerhouse, but rather at the totem pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
"Alas, Vice Clan Leader, you have a point, but there certainly is a reason behind the totem’s actions. The errants were consuming too many resources, becoming a burden to us, and now, with other clans eyeing us covetously, only quickly cultivating the next Clan Leader can pull us out of this crisis!" the Great Sacrificial Rite explained.
"Then tell , what is the relation between slaughtering these errants and cultivating the next Clan Leader? I know that the souls of those errants have been absorbed by the totem—are we nothing more than fertilizer for it? Moreover, isn’t the crisis of the next Clan Leader a dilemma created by the totem itself!"
At this point, the Vice Clan Leader had already stood up.
"Humph, they’re rely errants. Without the totem’s power, the Moonwater Tribe would have been annihilated long ago!"
At this mont, the supre powerhouse coldly snorted.
"Outrageous!" The Vice Clan Leader imdiately beca furious and slapped him, causing him to tumble over.
The force of this slap was so great that the supre powerhouse couldn’t get up from the ground for a while.
"Cough, cough, Vice Clan Leader, calm down. Although his words were harsh, the totem ultimately protects the Moonwater Tribe. The crises in our history were mitigated with the totem’s help! Without it, those small clans couldn’t have survived for long without the totem’s protection. When they lack a bulwark among their own, they beco precariously vulnerable!" the Great Sacrificial Rite hurriedly said.
Only then did the Vice Clan Leader sit down, for indeed, from the very existence of the Moonwater Tribe, the totem was intrinsically linked with the clan.
"Even so, recent decisions by the totem have inflicted irreparable harm on our tribe. Just consider this loss of errants; it might take years for us to recover!"
Upon hearing this, the Great Sacrificial Rite rely shook his head with a smile, "Vice Clan Leader, you’re mistaken. Losing these errants is indeed painful since they were also mbers of the Moonwater Tribe and shared our bloodline. However, their sacrifice contributed to the clan by saving resources that could cultivate many strong individuals. As for the impact on the tribe, it’s rely that so chores will go unattended, a task that can be temporarily assigned to the Inner Sect Disciples. At worst, we can enlist so cultivators from small clans! It’s really not a problem!"
The Vice Clan Leader also acknowledged this truth, though the supre powerhouse’s previous behavior left him quite upset.
"The totem understands the Clan Leader’s intentions and specifically instructed to offer this!"
With that, he took out an archaic wooden box, and once opened, a fragrance imdiately wafted through the air.
"This is! The Nine Rotation Golden Core!" The Vice Clan Leader’s breath instantly beca rapid.
The Great Sacrificial Rite smiled and nodded, "The totem knows the Clan Leader has encountered so obstacles in cultivation, and with this elixir, those should be easily resolved!"
Only then did the Vice Clan Leader’s deanor calm.
"Alas, this current crisis of the Moonwater Tribe is truly grave. If we cannot even select the next Clan Leader, other clans will not just be laughing; the consequences would be dire, sothing the totem probably understands better than I!" the Vice Clan Leader sighed.
"Naturally, you can rest assured; the totem has its plans!" the Great Sacrificial Rite said slowly.
Ultimately, the Great Sacrificial Rite led the supre powerhouse away, for having accepted the totem’s favor, one must acquiesce.
"Vice Clan Leader, is this how the matter is to be settled?" a powerful figure beside him frowned and asked.
This was a Grand Elder, with strength no less than that of the Vice Clan Leader, and his status was second only to him.
"Of course, it won’t end like this. It’s evident the totem has other intentions, and we must prepare in advance!" The Vice Clan Leader’s eyes flickered imdiately.
...
anwhile, Ye Luo and the other young man had followed Number One to his cave mansion.
This cave mansion was larger and more spectacular than those of the Inner Sect Disciples.
Of course, it must have been exchanged using crystal stones, otherwise, how could an errant possess such a cave mansion? An errant having a secluded hut was already a privilege enjoyed by high-ranking errants.
