Chapter 150: Battle for the Stone Tablet
Fike and Xiao Zhao packed up their things as they prepared to bid farewell to Master Quan.
However, the young monk was currently in the inner hall, meditating. Apu gestured for the both of them not to disturb him.
Fike bowed deeply to Master Quan before preparing to leave with Xiao Zhao, and the two of them soon arrived back at Gufa Town from yesterday.
In front of the stone tablet currently stood another group of local people.
Xiao Zhao looked at Fike.
“Fike, wait for me here for a moment.”
After she spoke, she casually strode toward the stone tablet.
Passing through the bustling crowd, she came to the stone tablet before pulling out a small knife from her waist.
She gently lifted a stone that was not too big, but also couldn’t be considered small, off the stone tablet.
When the people around her saw this, they murmured one after another.
“Little girl, what are you doing? This is something that belongs to our Gufa Town! How can you destroy it so casually?”
“That’s right, little girl! You’re being too unreasonable!”
“Hurry up and put it back! What’s the difference between this and stealing?”
Listening to the discussion of the crowd, Xiao Zhao explained.
“Dear villagers and elders, I am an immortal cultivator from the East Immortal Sect. My purpose of descending the mountain was to investigate the secrets of this stone tablet. Therefore, I will be bringing a small piece back. I hope that all of you can understand!”
After she was done speaking, the crowd of people continued pointing straight to her face as they remained in heated debate.
Fike had also been somewhat speechless as he watched the scene.
In his heart, although Xiao Zhao’s actions hadn’t been very polite, the stone tablet wasn’t of much use to these people at the moment anyway.
Right at this moment, however, Fike’s sharp ears detected the rumble of countless hoofbeats.
Not far from the other end of the town, two teams of armored troops were heading toward the stone tablet.
A few seconds later, the troops riding on horseback arrived.
“I heard that a stone tablet was excavated in Gufa Town a few days ago. Today, I see that it is indeed so!”
Following the voice, Fike spotted a young man clad in silver armor riding atop a black horse.
“Today, our Tutu tribe is determined to obtain this stone tablet! Brothers! Bring it to me!”
The young man in silver armor ordered.
At this moment, a deep and powerful voice resounded.
“Tariq, our Xi Ling tribe found this stone tablet first! How could we give you the meal that is already in our mouths so easily?”
Fike turned toward the direction of the new voice. This person was a plump young man, riding a dashing stallion with golden eyes and a white mane.
“Uzi! Our Tutu tribe will not give up this magical stone tablet so easily!”
Tariq declared with a smile.
“Good! In that case, it seems that we will have a fight!”
Uzi said.
“Draw your sword! Let us make this fair!”
Fike stood by the side, watching as the two people on horseback argued to each other.
The residents of Gufa Town, who had been gathered beside the stone tablet, quickly retreated to the sides.
Xiao Zhao, who was also holding the fragment from the stone tablet, quietly shuffled to Fike’s side.
As soon as he declared, Uzi took the lead, and galloped his horse toward Tariq.
In the midst of the flashing swords, sharp Sword Qi streaked across the street.
Uzi and Tariq were locked in a fierce duel.
Fike learned of the situation through Xiao Zhao’s explanation.
Uzi and Tariq were the sons of the leaders of the Xi Ling and Tutu tribes respectively.
Because the two tribes were very close to each other, their territories encroached upon each other’s, and as such, conflicts often broke out.
As the two remained in a fierce deadlock, a blonde-haired young man suddenly rushed out from the road, flashing and appearing between Uzi and Tariq’s mounts.
Relying solely on his own strength, the man was able to stop the combined strength of the two steeds.
When Uzi and Tariq saw the blonde-haired youth’s action, they cheered in unison.
“Good move! May I ask your name? Would you be willing to come to our tribe to serve our king?”
Seeing that the two had stopped fighting, the yellow-haired youth cupped his hands and looked at them as he said.
“My lords, I am simply a humble resident of this Gufa Town. My name is Tyron, and this stone tablet was excavated here, so it naturally belongs to my town. I hope that my two lords can stop fighting and end this dispute.”
As he watched by the side, Fike looked on at the newcomer in front of him in surprise as he thought to himself.
“He is Tyron? As in the founding principal of Tyron Academy in Ledda City? If that’s the case, then isn’t this Gufa Town the predecessor of Ledda City?”
Fike was still thinking when Uzi spoke to Tyron.
“Brother Tyron, sooner or later, your Gufa Town will be merged into our Xi Ling tribe! When that happens, wouldn’t this stone tablet be something that belongs to our tribe? Isn’t it the same thing if that happens today or any other day? Hahahaha!”
After hearing Uzi’s words, Tariq retorted spitefully.
“Uzi! Bullshit! Since when did this Gufa Town become your Xi Ling tribe’s territory? It’s clearly Tutu tribe territory, alright? So, this stone tablet should naturally belong to us!”
Uzi was flustered and exasperated at his opponent’s words, The both of them once again drew their blades.
Tyron, on the other hand, spoke up.
“I know that the two sirs are powerful, but our Gufa Town as of yet still doesn’t belong to either of your tribes. So, please leave now!”
Before he could finish his words, however, another voice sounded from afar once again.
“Good! Well said! And very courageous! I admire you very much, blonde-haired boy!”
Everyone turned in the direction of the voice.
A middle-aged man in heavy armor stood in front of his horse and was slowly approaching them.
The man had an imposing bearing, and his speech was extraordinary. He seemed to be a big shot.
As Uzi and Tariq noticed the stranger, their expressions started to become frightened.
“Sano… You… Why are you here?”
“Bad luck. It seems that today was not a good day to go out. Brothers, let’s go!”
Once Tariq finished speaking, he turned around to leave.
At this moment, Xiao Zhao explained to Fike.
“This middle-aged man is Sano, the leader of the Donta tribe, the strongest of the three tribes.”
“It seems that the Donta tribe is here to fight over this stone tablet as well!”
Hearing this, Fike couldn’t help but ask in confusion.
“Why is Sano alone making Uzi and Tariq so afraid? Don’t they have so many people behind them?”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhao hurriedly explained.
“You don’t know about this, right? It’s rumored that Sano has a powerful team of assassins following closely behind him at all times. If these people dared to attack Sano, I’m afraid that they’ll all die here today!”
