"Clan Leader?"
"For the esteed Clan Leader to visit, there's no need to address as senior!"
Clearly, for this explanation, Luoshan wasn't very satisfied, but from another perspective, Chen Jiuge couldn't accept it either.
However, this isn't important. Compared to what's going to be discussed next, this small matter isn't worth fussing over.
"Senior, I don't like to beat around the bush. I assu you also prefer straightforwardness!"
"I've co this ti to ask, what exactly are your intentions?"
"What intentions?" Luoshan frowned, seemingly not understanding Chen Jiuge's implication.
"Alright, senior, there is no one else here; there's no point in not speaking the truth. After all, I've only brought one guard with , which shows quite enough sincerity!"
"You descendants of the Sunset Tribe, what exactly do you want?"
"Are you truly joining our Star Moon Tribe, or do you have so other sches?"
Without waiting for Luoshan to answer, Chen Jiuge continued, "If you are truly joining the Star Moon Tribe, then you should contribute, not just hide here and live your secluded life; this peaceful environnt was achieved by the warriors of our tribe!"
"If there are other purposes, you'd better take your clan mbers and leave my Star Moon Tribe. I cannot tolerate a second voice here!"
"Senior, do consider your answer, or next ti, it won't be just visiting; I'm sure Elder Heavenly Snake would also like to stretch his limbs."
Luoshan swallowed the excuses he was about to make, and with so difficulty, said, "What if I say I truly want a peaceful life, do you believe ?"
Looking at Luoshan's weathered face, by so inexplicable impulse, Chen Jiuge nodded, "I believe you."
Luoshan didn't expect to hear such a response and gave a bitter smile, "Clan Leader, please follow !"
Inside the study
Luoshan poured Chen Jiuge a cup of Spiritual Tea, eyes filled with helplessness, "I really enjoy the current life; resurrecting the Sunset Tribe is such a heavy burden that I cannot bear."
"Nor do I want to bear it, but so things are just so inevitable."
"When the previous Clan Leader died, I knew I couldn't escape this burden."
"But I lack the confidence. I could only lead my clan mbers in hiding everywhere. My strength is far inferior to the previous Clan Leader, and the Red Sun Tribe's secret agents relentlessly pursue us."
"I couldn't even protect my clan mbers continuously, let alone withstand them."
"In the end, I chose to disguise as an ordinary mountain man and blend into Leader Beng Yu's gathering place."
"Leader Beng Yu possesses great strength; with him around, the Red Sun Tribe's King Level pursuers wouldn't dare co close, not to ntion the more powerful ones wouldn't act at will."
"So, you stayed under Beng Yu's protection until Beng Yu joined our Star Moon Tribe, and the Shadow Demon discovered your abnormality!" What happened next, Chen Jiuge also knew.
"Exactly. Since we were discovered and the Red Sun Tribe ceased the pursuit, we couldn't rely on Leader Beng Yu forever either."
"So you choose to separate independently? Don't you know this causes significant trouble for Beng Yu's adopted son, Beng Ruo?" Chen Jiuge asked curiously.
Luoshan is different from others, seemingly able to understand the previous situation.
"I know, but I am grateful to Leader Beng Yu, not Beng Ruo. Besides, to be honest, I don't think Beng Ruo, who wishes to develop his own forces through the Star Moon Tribe, will succeed. His fate will probably be rather tragic."
"Haha, go on."
"After separating out, our life is still good; the strong go hunting, not only satisfying their lives but also earning Star Coins, thus living a better life."
"Under such stability, the clan mbers split into two factions—one, like , preferring to live steadily!"
"The other faction, led by Mang, desires to rebuild the Sunset Tribe!"
"Do you think it's possible?" Chen Jiuge asked curiously. If it's rely rebuilding a tribe nad Sunset, it's actually not difficult.
But if it's reestablishing the sa Sunset Tribe as before, that's impossible.
"Of course, it's impossible!"
"Certainly possible!"
The one-ard Mang broke in. The fierce-looking man respectfully saluted Chen Jiuge, "Clan Leader, I want to establish the Sunset Tribe, but I know it's impossible relying solely on myself!"
"I am willing to work for the Star Moon Tribe, but the Star Moon Tribe must allocate a piece of territory for us as the Sunset Tribe's domain!"
"Wouldn't such a Sunset Tribe just be a subsidiary tribe of the Star Moon Tribe? What's the aning of that?" Chen Jiuge wondered.
Mang sighed, "Building an independent Sunset Tribe, not ntioning the inadequate clan numbers, the Red Sun Tribe wouldn't allow it, so we need the Star Moon Tribe's strength."
"As for being a subsidiary, what difference does it make? After all, the old words left by our predecessors rely instructed us to rebuild the Sunset Tribe."
"I rather think even they themselves see it as impossible, just following tradition for the sake of it!"
"If that's all, I can agree to your request!"
"Thank you, Clan Leader!"
After expressing gratitude, Mang looked at Luoshan and sighed, "I know you are soft-hearted, but you must learn to be flexible, not deny everything outright."
"My decision will definitely be questioned by our clan mbers, but as long as you offer them a glimr of hope, isn't that enough?"
Luoshan was slightly taken aback, then shook his head with a bitter smile, "Indeed, Mang, you are more suited to be the Clan Leader!"
"No, currently, neither of us is the Clan Leader. Only when we truly establish the Sunset Tribe, we can say that. For now, we are all part of the Star Moon Tribe!"
"You're right!"
Chen Jiuge gave Mang a surprised glance—such a stout-looking fellow, yet speaks so eloquently and thoughtfully.
"I will mobilize additional resources to provide your clan mbers with so subsidy; the amount will depend on your performances!"
"As for what you all need to do later, I'll send soone to inform you!"
"Yes!"
........
Leaving Luoshan's residence, Chen Jiuge felt sowhat dazed, not expecting things to go so smoothly.
"So smooth it's almost unreal!"
"Clan Leader, isn't that a good thing?" Sorrowful Girl asked curiously.
"It is good, but sotis when things go too smoothly, it feels peculiar, almost fake!"
"However, for now, these two can still be used temporarily. As for their arrangent......"
Suddenly inspired, Chen Jiuge's lips curved upwards.
Is there any place more suitable to accommodate these two than the Seven Kill Army within the Star Moon Tribe?
To say the entire Seven Kill Army consists entirely of cultivators completely loyal to Chen Jiuge is rather absolute, but the loyalty of leaders Ku Tou and Akam is unquestionable.
With their presence, even if Luoshan and Mang had any ideas, I could know imdiately, so there's no need to worry too much.
As for the gap in cultivation, Akam, blessed by my late father, would have no problems transmitting ssages, thus Chen Jiuge was not worried about that at all.
Additionally, after supplenting his life span, Ku Tou beca highly compatible with True Realm's cultivation techniques, progressing extraordinarily fast. Although there's still a distance from King Level, he counts as a top-tier expert at his current Daluo level.
anwhile, inside Luoshan's study.
"How was it, did I arrive just in ti?"
On Mang's fierce face appeared a rather flippant expression.
"Not bad, but your performance was a bit overdone. These outsiders aren't so easy to fool!" Luoshan frowned, ignoring Mang's attitude.
"Can't say that; the current Star Moon Tribe seems quite short of top-tier warriors. He should find it hard to refuse our combined combat strength."
"And based on your experience, sothing big is likely happening soon, making it even less likely for them to refuse." Mang expressed disbelief.
"It's precisely because sothing big is happening that unexpected incidents might occur!"
Luoshan rose, stood by the window, gazing at the Spirit Tree's falling leaves outside, his worries not alleviating but intensifying.
"Mang, do you think this situation appears in any old clan archives?"
"Huh? What?"
Luoshan sighed, "After the Sunset Tribe fell, the Ghost Fighting Tribe supported the Nine Dragon Tribe; then, decades later, the Nine Dragon Tribe abruptly launched a suicidal war against the Ghost Fighting Tribe."
"In only three days, the elites dispatched by the Nine Dragon Tribe were completely wiped out, yet after such a challenge to the overlord's authority, the Ghost Fighting Tribe not only didn't obliterate the Nine Dragon Tribe, but continued to support it in strengthening."
"Why do you think this happened?"
"After all, any tribe facing such provocation would aim to obliterate their opponent, wouldn't they?"
