Barbaric Sacred Realm:
A gaunt elder sitting cross-legged suddenly withdrew his hand.
His wrist had been cleanly severed, and it was bleeding profusely, looking particularly shocking.
This person was none other than the supre ruler of the Barbaric Sacred Realm, the High Priest!
Hulun Tu’s soul token shattered, and he used his outer body Secret Technique to investigate.
Never did he expect such a situation.
Hulun Tu died at the hands of that Human Clan youth, not unfairly!
After a mont of lant, the High Priest gently stroked his severed arm, mumbling strange incantations like a monk chanting scriptures.
In just a short mont, his broken wrist healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, appearing exactly as it did before the injury.
"High Priest!"
At this mont, soone hurriedly reported from outside the door.
The High Priest waved his hand and the tent opened automatically.
Five Shamans appeared simultaneously outside the door.
Seeing the High Priest’s slightly haggard appearance, they were all greatly surprised, exchanging puzzled glances with each other.
The High Priest looked at them with shadowy eyes, asking coldly: "What has happened?"
In unison, the five Shamans replied: "Reporting to the High Priest, the latest news just ca from the front lines, the Demon Clan suddenly attacked, the entire Southern Barbarian King’s army was wiped out, even the envoy Hulun Tu wasn’t spared!"
"Alright, I understand!"
The High Priest casually replied, his emaciated face revealing no trace of emotion.
Regarding the High Priest’s response, none of the five Shamans felt surprised.
In their understanding, the High Priest is the closest person to a god, possessing Great Divine Power with foresight, he surely knew of this beforehand.
They ca to report, seeking to know what counterasures the High Priest had regarding this matter.
After all, the situation now involved not only internal Barbarian matters, but also the intervention of the Demon Clan’s army.
Moreover, the Azure Dragon Tribe’s strong resurgence was orchestrated by two individuals from the Human Clan.
Presently, both Human Clan and Demon Clan are involved, seemingly having ford an alliance.
Given the information currently held, the overall situation has completely surpassed their control, even showing signs of escalating.
Therefore, they must take preventive asures and co up with a counterstrategy imdiately.
"High Priest, this is Barbaric land, not Demon Clan, nor Jiuzhou, it’s our territory, and outsiders will not be allowed to run rampant. Let’s deploy our troops directly and flatten them!"
The irascible Fire Shaman, seeing the High Priest contemplate for a long ti without any definitive decision, impatiently shouted.
Before his words ended, the always steady Water Shaman interjected:
"Fire Shaman, the situation is unclear now, we must not act recklessly. The Human Clan has an excellent saying, know yourself and your enemy, and you shall be victorious in a hundred battles!"
Unwilling to concede, the Fire Shaman raised his voice further, furiously shouted:
"What do you an reckless? They’ve bullied us all the way to our doorstep, our self-defense counterattack, can this be called recklessness?"
The argunt between the two sides was fierce, almost to the point of physical confrontation.
At that mont, a Barbarian guard reported outside the tent, saying Sha Moke had returned.
The High Priest waved his hand, signaling Sha Moke to enter and speak.
Upon entering the tent, Sha Moke imdiately knelt down, crying and sniffling.
After Li Chen severed his arm, he wandered, enduring countless hardships before finally returning to the tribe.
After hearing Sha Moke’s sobbing, especially when he ntioned: the Black Demon King had long been Li Chen’s servant, even the High Priest and everyone present turned solemn.
Unexpectedly, Li Chen had extended his reach into the Barbaric realm long ago.
The Azure Dragon Tribe, the Black Demon King, were all pawns he had set in advance!
It appears this Human Clan youth nad Li Chen has grand ambitions.
Letting him continue to grow unchecked, no one can assure he won’t beco the next Emperor Yu.
Emperor Yu!
The na, arguably, was the nightmare of the entire Barbarian Clan back then!
After a mont of contemplation, the High Priest spoke to halt the arguing Shamans, firmly stating:
"Enough, stop arguing. Go prepare, depart in three days. Go to the altar, worship at the Eternal Heaven!"
Hearing the High Priest’s words, the five Shamans promptly stopped their quarrel, bowing in salute.
...
At the sa ti:
Li Chen, sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Three days later, the altar!"
During the confrontation last night, the High Priest’s outer body had left his Sword Intent.
Thus, he could easily spy on the High Priest’s conversation.
However, as ti passed, the Sword Intent would gradually dissipate, making future spying difficult.
"Chen, what did you say about the altar just now?"
Lian Hongshang, hearing Li Chen’s mutter, hurriedly approached.
The Little Demon Immortal blinked two lively eyes, asking: "Isn’t the High Priest going to the altar in three days?"
Li Chen nodded and replied: "Correct, three days later, the High Priest will lead five Shamans and several Barbarian Elders to the altar to worship the Eternal Heaven!"
Lian Hongshang contemplated for a mont, then asked: "Chen, do you also want to go to the altar?"
Li Chen nodded, responding: "Yes, if my guess is correct, the Seventh Yu Emperor Treasure Cauldron is likely at the altar. This is our best chance to act!"
"Brother Li Chen, I’ll go with you!"
Before Li Chen’s words finished, the Little Demon Immortal quickly interjected.
"I want to go too!"
Lian Hongshang gently bit her lip, also speaking up.
Li Chen glanced at the Little Demon Immortal, then at Lian Hongshang, saying: "Hongshang, for this altar venture, you won’t go, I have an even more important task for you!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, a hint of disappointnt flashed in Lian Hongshang’s eyes.
But it was only fleeting.
She’s a sensible girl, not soone who acts on impulse.
"Chen, what is it?"
Li Chen pondered briefly, then said: "Later, I will hand over the commanding rights of those three elite squads from the Demon Clan to the Black Demon King, letting him make a big push westward."
"You will lead the Azure Dragon Tribe warriors, riding the wave of victory, and continue to expand eastward!"
"In doing so, both forces will advance from the east and west simultaneously, forming a left-right encircling stance, marching towards the center of the Barbaric Realm. Create as much noise as possible en route to attract the Barbarian high command’s attention!"
After hearing Li Chen’s arrangent, the Little Demon Immortal interjected: "Are we to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the altar, catch them off-guard, and strike the High Priest and others?"
Li Chen smiled slightly, tacitly acknowledging the Little Demon Immortal’s speculation.
Then, he turned his gaze to Lian Hongshang, advising: "Hongshang, just create enough montum, you don’t need to engage in direct confrontation with the Barbarian main force!"
Lian Hongshang nodded softly like a chick pecking rice, indicating her understanding...
