For a mont, the atmosphere in the main hall beca extrely oppressive.
"I presu everyone is aware of why we have gathered today. The power of our tribe’s totem has vanished, and we can no longer communicate with it. Along with this disappearance, even the High Priest is missing. Naturally, we cannot keep this matter hidden from other tribes. The crisis for our tribe is about to begin! I invite everyone to share your thoughts!" the Vice Clan Leader said sorrowfully.
In reality, everyone had already been aware of the issue, but hearing it from the Vice Clan Leader added a deeper sense of lancholy.
However, the Moonwater Tribe is, after all, a great tribe. Even smaller tribes without a totem manage to survive. It’s not certain that a disaster will befall the Moonwater Tribe.
Furthermore, there are those three ancestors, renowned masters in the entire Space-Ti Channel. Moreover, the Moonwater Tribe is a large tribe with a long history. Talk of its extinction is far from simple.
"Clan Leader, I believe there’s no need for us to be overly pessimistic. The disappearance of the totem has happened before. According to our clan’s records, there was once an occasion when the totem disappeared for nearly ten years, yet not only did our tribe not face any crisis, but it actually produced many exceptional talents, leading to its prosperity. Hence, the totem’s disappearance is also a kind of indirect motivation for us!" an aged Elder slowly said.
Upon hearing this, many people nodded in agreent. The records of our clan docunt major events in the history of the Moonwater Tribe, known to everyone by heart.
Since childhood, the first task was to study these records and understand the deeds of our ancestors.
Therefore, as soon as this Elder spoke, many imdiately recalled this event.
The desolate atmosphere that the Vice Clan Leader had depicted disappeared without a trace.
"Alas!" Just as the Vice Clan Leader was about to speak, an ancestor suddenly stood up, causing the Vice Clan Leader to imdiately fall silent.
The structure of authority in the Moonwater Tribe is unique, with the Clan Leader holding the highest authority, followed by the ancestors, and then the Vice Clan Leader, whose position is actually quite similar to that of the Grand Elders.
"The Elder’s words are correct. Our Moonwater Tribe, having existed for so many years, cannot simply be wiped out by anyone. However, the temporary disappearance of the totem does indeed bring significant risk to our tribe. Therefore, we must diligently cultivate. I will announce a series of reward asures, and periodically, we three ancestors will hold lectures for you. Furthermore, the Inner Sect mbers and above will have free access to the Scripture Library and the Trial Grounds!" this ancestor spoke decisively.
Rumble!
Imdiately, the crowd below erupted in exclamations. The rewards were secondary, but the lectures by the three ancestors were of great significance, imnsely beneficial to the high-ranking mbers of the Moonwater Tribe present.
Additionally, both the Trial Grounds and the Scripture Library were highly esteed, with even the Grand Elders yearning to enter, places usually reserved only for the Clan Leader or candidates for Clan Leader, not even the Vice Clan Leader had the authority to enter.
"Thank you, ancestors, for your benevolence!"
Imdiately, Elders and the like among the higher ranks knelt down, kowtowing to the ancestors, with expressions of excitent on their faces.
What initially seed like a disaster had its fear successfully dispelled by the ancestors, becoming a source of motivation for the disciples, demonstrating the ancestors’ mastery in understanding the human psyche.
Only the Vice Clan Leader sighed quietly, with a hint of regret on his face.
"Alright, everyone disperse. The Trial Grounds and the Scripture Library will be open this afternoon. Tomorrow, I will hold a lecture for everyone. Deliver this news to the disciples!" the ancestor said calmly.
Instantly, the high-ranking mbers leaped into action to spread the news.
"Is there sothing you need?"
After everyone left, the ancestor asked the Vice Clan Leader.
"Respectfully, ancestor, I am already old and no longer suitable to serve as the Vice Clan Leader. I implore you to allow to retire in peace!" he said respectfully.
"Retire in peace? I think you’re trying to escape quickly! After all, you’re the one who understands the current situation of the Moonwater Tribe the best!" the ancestor said coldly.
"You misunderstand, ancestor. How could that be possible? I am a person of the Moonwater Tribe. Even if I beco a ghost, I would still be a ghost of the Moonwater Tribe. No matter what, I will live and die with the Moonwater Tribe!" he imdiately responded.
"Ridiculous, I think you intend to flee to Qingxiu Peak. Your relationship with those two girls, we are well aware. Since you have sown disloyalty, we cannot tolerate you!"
With that, the ancestor struck towards him with a palm.
However, the Vice Clan Leader was not surprised, as if he had anticipated this long ago.
Yet, he wore a smile on his face, without any sign of defense.
"My life was given by the Moonwater Tribe, so naturally, I shall return it to the Moonwater Tribe. I have not a single complaint!" the Vice Clan Leader said with a smile.
With that, he closed his eyes.
At this mont, the power of that palm strike had already enveloped above the Vice Clan Leader. If it landed on him, he would imdiately be dood.
"Since they have targeted you, and you are willing to die, your debt to the Moonwater Tribe is already repaid!"
A voice suddenly rang in his ear.
Instantly, the Vice Clan Leader opened his eyes in surprise, seeing a young man smiling at him.
"Why are you here!" the Vice Clan Leader exclaid.
At this mont, the power of the overhead palm strike was already blocked by Ye Luo.
After all, this palm was not the ancestor’s full strength, rely a casual strike. The ancestor presud the Vice Clan Leader would not dare to retaliate.
Precisely because of this, the power of the strike was easily blocked by Ye Luo.
"You should have guessed the reason I ca!" Ye Luo continued to smile.
Naturally, it was the Ice Princess who predicted that these ancestors would target the Vice Clan Leader, but the Ice Princess definitely opposed Ye Luo saving him, after all, Ye Luo was the hope for Princess Xiu’s recovery.
However, Ye Luo doesn’t think so. Regardless of the Moonwater Tribe’s situation, he does not concern himself with it. Yet, the safety of Qingxiu Peak is also his concern.
In recent days, Ye Luo’s understanding of Qingxiu Peak has deepened significantly, and the Ice Princess didn’t intend to hide anything from him, revealing its details to him.
Apart from the seven masters including the Third Master, there are a few other masters of similar strength, but no masters of a higher level exist.
Then there are those protectors. Although several dozens were lost last ti, more than a hundred still remain, which surprised Ye Luo, as they were all at least Core Disciple level.
As it stands, Qingxiu Peak’s strength is definitely far superior to those of the smaller tribes.
