Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 5863
Chapter 5863: Betrayed
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This time, not only were they unlucky, but the Polunga Clan was also in a tough spot.
The strong warriors from the remaining tribes had just gathered, carrying the Dragon Balls, seeking refuge in the Holy Land to escape disaster, only to be discovered by the humans and Gula’s henchmen.
Now they were trapped directly in the Holy Land.
They couldn’t leave even if they wanted to.
Jian Wushuang and Wu Li didn’t dare to leave either.
The crucial point was that they could leave whenever they wanted!
Never mind whether the outsiders would spare them.
Even the strong warriors of the Polunga Clan wouldn’t let them go easily.
They had to stay put!
The strong warriors at the mountaintop kept gathering.
Jian Wushuang scanned with his telepathy and found that there were five of them just at the Sixth Tribulation realm.
Maybe they could really hold up.
As long as Gula didn’t personally intervene.
There shouldn’t be any problem with the first wave of attacks.
“Wushuang, how about we retreat a bit further?” Wu Li’s gaze wandered at this moment, and his figure kept moving backward.
Jian Wushuang looked up and noticed Elder Blu walking towards them.
He gently patted Wu Li’s shoulder, motioning for him to stay calm and not move, then took the initiative to walk over and said, “Elder Blu, feel free to command us if you need any help!”
“Great Elder, please come in for a discussion!” Elder Blu said calmly.
Danbao also walked out of the Grand Elder’s house at this time and nodded at him.
He turned to Wu Li with a gesture, then replied, “Good, we also have something to discuss with the Great Elder!”
Pulling Wu Li along, they entered the Great Elder’s house.
Upon entering, they found five other senior Polunga warriors present.
All at the peak of the Fifth Tribulation realm.
It seemed they came from external tribes.
Apart from them, there was one familiar face.
Zack!
Didn’t expect him to be alive.
From this perspective, the strength of the Polunga Clan was much stronger than that of the humans.
On the human side, there were quite a few strong warriors comparable to the Sixth Tribulation realm.
But only Empress had truly reached the Sixth Tribulation realm.
And there were only about a hundred people.
The Polunga Clan had five Sixth Tribulation realm warriors.
And dozens of Fifth Tribulation realm warriors.
With just the human side alone, they couldn’t break in.
Let’s see how powerful Gula’s subordinates are, as Li Sheng said.
There might actually be hope.
Upon seeing Jian Wushuang and Wu Li enter, the Grand Elder, worn out both physically and mentally, spoke, “Two benefactors, there’s something I hope you can tell me about the Polunga Clan!”
“Elder, please speak!” Jian Wushuang cut to the chase without beating around the bush.
This time, instead of speaking, the Grand Elder looked to one of the tribe elders who was also quite old.
That elder happened to be Elder Jones, the one Zack went to rescue. He paused before speaking up, “Please, two benefactors, share the information about the external experts with us. This would greatly assist us. If this time we can withstand the experts of the human race and Gula’s subordinates, the Grand Elder will personally see you off Dragon God Continent.”
“This?” Wu Li hesitated for a moment, his expression serious. “This seems a bit off. We saved people from your Polunga Clan, and we can promise not to harm your Polunga people, but betraying the human race… that’s a different matter.”
Jian Wushuang also hesitated.
Betrayal was one thing.
What he feared was closing off his own path.
Those people outside, from the human race, weren’t all good people.
Even if he betrayed them, even if he helped the Polunga Clan protect their homeland, he wouldn’t feel much psychological burden.
The only worry was if he ended up on the same boat as the Polunga Clan, and then the Polunga Clan was finished.
What would they do then?
This was a very real concern.
The Polunga Clan simply couldn’t withstand Gula.
He thought that the battle between the external experts of the human race and Gula’s subordinates would delay things.
But now that all the Dragon Balls from outside had arrived at the Polunga Holy Land, there wasn’t much left to fight for.
The silent cooperation between the two sides had already made things clear.
First, wipe out the Polunga Clan, and then determine the outcome.
“These fools!” Jian Wushuang cursed inwardly.
The experts of the human race probably hadn’t realized the strength of Gula’s experts yet.
They knew even less about the Frost Demon Clan.
They probably thought that with the Empress’s million divine powers, they could contend with Gula.
It was simply laughable.
Wu Li couldn’t make up his mind and looked at Jian Wushuang again.
“To be honest, my knowledge of the experts from the outside world is also limited. I only have some superficial understanding of the strength of some powerful individuals in certain kingdoms. The Grand Elder should be aware of this. I originally came from the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Qingchao!” Jian Wushuang decided to be straightforward.
He didn’t know much.
Just selling out the experts from the Sixteen Kingdoms would probably be enough.
The Qingchao Sixteen Kingdoms were established by a Universe Master of the eighth Tribulation realm.
Later, it was divided into sixteen kingdoms.
The Yongheng Kingdom had ceased to exist.
The forces of the SJhi Kingdom had been completely annihilated.
Only fourteen kingdoms remained.
Their strengths varied greatly.
After discarding Yue Kingdom and the daughter kingdom indebted to it, only twelve kingdoms were left.
Among these twelve kingdoms, the several strongest Universe Masters at the Fifth Tribulation realm were all accounted for.
Of course, such data on their combat prowess was merely surface-level.
Who knew how formidable their hidden cards might be?
“Is this all?” Elder Jones shook his head, sighing, “Well, it’s better than nothing.”
Having something was better than nothing!
However, Elder Blu, who followed along, didn’t share this sentiment.
As a Universe Master at the Fifth Tribulation realm, he didn’t even bat an eye.
Jian Wushuang then shifted the conversation, mentioning Gula’s subordinates.
“Elders, the threat of the Sixteen Kingdoms may not be that formidable, but Gula’s subordinates include several Sixth Tribulation realm powerhouses, likely among the top in the Infinite Great World!” Jian Wushuang raised an eyebrow, revealing the situation with Kinew.
This Sixth Tribulation Realm special lifeform had brought many strong individuals from the Far North Icefield to the Dragon God Continent.
This information had been relayed to him by Li Sheng.
Now, he passed it on to the Polunga Clan.
He felt somewhat sorry for Li Sheng.
Originally, there had been a plan for him, but now he had nothing.
Li Sheng also awkwardly became one of Gula’s subordinates, utterly useless without Jian Wushuang’s support.
The outcome was even more bleak.
What Jian Wushuang didn’t know was that Li Sheng was on the verge of reaching the Fifth Tribulation realm peak.
His future looked bright.
Even Gula admired him greatly.
Moreover, Kinew had promised to take Li Sheng to the Far North Icefield to become a Demon Saint.
Li Sheng was now torn about whether to join him.
The darkness wasn’t within Li Sheng but within Jian Wushuang and Wu Li.
These two were currently caught in the middle and feeling extremely uncomfortable.
“Kinew?” Elder Jones recalled something, his eyes trembling slightly. He then reported to the Grand Elder, “When Zack and I escaped, we once felt a terrifying aura comparable to Gula’s. It should be him, with a divine power of at least 900,000.”
Upon hearing this, Blu clenched his fists but remained silent.
900,000 divine power.
A peak Sixth Tribulation realm powerhouse.
Comparable to Tamu King.
With this level of strength, one could dominate any corner of the Infinite Great World.
