The Great Wild God - Chapter 82

Chapter 82 People of the Nine Races
“Dong dong dong …”

Chen Xun listened to someone knocking on the door outside the courtyard, not knowing what had happened.

Zuoqiu and Gu Jianfeng insisted on letting him stay in the same courtyard to avoid interference with his cultivation. If nothing happened, no one would disturb his cultivation.

Someone came knocking at the door at this time. There must be something that requires his help.

Chen Xun lit the Fierce Frost Saber Technique and placed it in the brazier. He watched the silk book quickly turn into ashes in the raging flames. Only then did he stand up with some complicated emotions. He tied the Frost Saber around his waist and pushed open the door and walked out of the study.

When Zong Ling heard him walk out of the study, he pushed open the door excitedly and walked into the courtyard, saying, “Someone from the North Mountain has arrived, and Grandpa has also come …”

At this time, more than a month had passed since the entrance ceremony. Considering the time, the Northern Mountain Tribe should also send people over.

Chen Xun hadn’t expected Grandpa Zongtu to personally arrive at Azure Water City. He was extremely happy as well. He rushed to the front yard with Zong Ling and saw Grandpa Zongtu and Zong Sang in the front yard hall. Apart from Grandpa Zongtu and Zong Sang, Gu Hu and Gu Chen from the Black Mountain Tribe were also present.

Chen Xun hadn’t expected that Grandpa and the others would be able to enter Canglan together with the other experts of the Northern Mountain Tribe. He thought to himself that the Northern Mountain Tribe had a chance of forsaking their suspicions and joining forces.

“Grandpa” Chen Xun shouted happily.

He walked to Grandpa Zongtu and Zongsang, and Nanxi gave up his seat.

Chen Xun sat on the ground and pulled Grandpa Zongtu’s skinny hand. Seeing that everyone was in good spirits, he knew that Python Fang Ridge’s Northern Mountain had been calm for a while and had nothing to worry about. He said,

“I didn’t expect Grandpa to come here personally. How was your journey?”

“We brought a batch of goods with us. We came with the caravan because we paid the Su Clan protection fee. Does Ghost Faction dare to bite us?” Zong Sang laughed and affectionately hugged Chen Xun’s shoulder, saying, “You stinking brat, your cultivation has improved again. I heard that you killed that Ghost Laborer Son of Ghost Faction and several hundred other disciples by yourself!”

Although only forty to fifty disciples of the tribes from the Northern Mountain Trial had finally entered Azure Water City, the others had not completely died on the way.

Many of the disciples had retreated halfway, and Chen Xun’s actions had long since spread throughout the Northern Mountain.

Chen Xun laughed and said, “Thanks to the help of Jianfeng and Brother Zuoqiu, Chen Xun was able to capture Lou Yiyi alive. How could a few hundred people be so exaggerated? If Lou Yiyi hadn’t underestimated the enemy and told us to capture him, I’m afraid that we would have been so exaggerated …”

Everyone also burst into laughter. They were happy, and they didn’t feel that Chen Xun was too young to know each other.

Chen Xun was telling the truth. If it weren’t for Gu Jianfeng and Zuoqiu standing beside him, even if he dared to use the reverse scale stab, the result would be that the disciples of the Guixi Tribe would have snatched back the seriously injured Lou Yiyi, and then dismembered his Ten Thousand Blades, whose blood vitality had dried up.

‘”I had my own thoughts and almost killed Jianfeng and the others. I originally had no face to live in this world. After Gu Fu died, I also suffered day and night. Today, I brazenly entered Azure Water City. I just want to thank you for saving the Black Mountain bloodline …”

Gu Chen sat on the ground behind the short table and bowed to Chen Xunfu. Now that he saw Chen Xun’s childish face, he felt both regret and guilt in his heart.

Chen Xun hurriedly bowed his head, expressing that he did not dare to accept such a big gift from Gu Chen. He said emotionally, “I am on the same side as Jianfeng. Along the way, Zong Ya, Zong Ling, and Nan Xi owe it to him to take care of them so that they can turn things around. It truly is not a big gift from Uncle Gu Chen …”

Back then, when he had gone to the Montenegro Tribe to hope that the two races would join forces, Gu Chen had tried everything to obstruct him, and Chen Xun was also bitter about Gu Chen’s narrow-mindedness.

Gu Chen said that he had his own thoughts, and Chen Xun guessed that he also hoped that his only son, Gu Fu, would have a chance to enter the Azure Water College to cultivate.

Gu Fu and the other Seven Montenegrins had all lost their lives along the way. This kind of punishment was cruel enough for Gu Chen.

Even though Chen Xun still harbored resentment towards Gu Chen, the matter of the Black Python joining forces with Montenegro would not appear on his face.

Chen Xun added, “I was framed by an adulterer and expelled from the Azure Water School. This time, it also implicated Jian Feng and the others. Speaking of which, I am also ashamed of Montenegro …”

“How can I blame you for this?” Gu Hu said.

After knowing all sorts of things, Gu Hu and the others realized that their previous understanding of the dangers of the trial path was too shallow. It was already extremely fortunate that Jianfeng and the others were able to save their lives.

Moreover, the sword tip had broken through to the seventh level of the Blood Transformation along the way and obtained a Vajra Profound Armor. Even if they were unable to enter the Azure Water College, they had already obtained an enormous amount, far exceeding their previous imagination.

“This is the Left Thorn Tribe’s Clan Master, Zuo Chonggu” Zong Tu introduced the first man on the left to Chen Xun.

“Chen Xun greets Duke Zuo.” Chen Xun saw that Zuo Chonggu was about forty years old. Although he was also at the peak of the ninth level of the Barbarian realm, his aura was even more restrained than Zong Sang’s. He had already reached the state of returning to nature, and was only a bit away from advancing to the Reincarnation Realm.

He carried a huge black sword on his back, and a faint spiritual aura converged. He didn’t expect that it was also a talisman sword.

Zuo Chonggu was Qianlan’s father and Zuoqiu’s uncle.

Qianlan was able to enter the Academy and become a purple-clothed disciple. Regardless of whether Zuo Chonggu could advance to the Reincarnation Realm or not, his status with the Left Thorn Tribe in Canglan could be increased by his father relying on his daughter’s honor.

However, Zuo Chonggu knew that forty to fifty disciples of the tribes of the Northern Mountain could still survive this time. Entering Azure Water City and Qianlan’s entrance to the Academy depended on this youth in front of him.

He had thought that all of this was a fluke, but now that he looked at the youth sitting on the side, his aura was restrained and firm, like a rock in the water, yet he gave off an impregnable feeling at a young age. He felt that all of this might not be a fluke.

******************

After Zong Tu and the others entered the city, it was already dark. When the clansmen unloaded the goods such as leather goods and herbs into the courtyard, the sky darkened.

Zuoqiu had already ordered people to buy cattle and sheep. He roasted them on an iron rack in the courtyard and sprinkled them with green salt and spices. The fragrance overflowed to his nose.

Everyone drank the muddy grain wine and laughed happily. The Moon Solstice genius dispersed to rest.

Although there were already forty to fifty disciples staying in the courtyard, at this time, the people from the Northern Mountain Tribe were all elders. No matter how crowded it was, there was no reason for them to stay in the inn. Naturally, they would all squeeze in the courtyard.

Zong Ya, Zong Ling, and Nan Xi also purposely vacated their houses and squeezed into Chen Xun’s courtyard along with Grandpa Zong Tu, Zong Sang, and the other Black Python clansmen.

Zong Tu also brought the cub to Azure Water City on Chen Xun’s behalf.

After leaving the black python, Zong Ya, Zong Ling, and Nanxi consumed the Nine Orifice Nourishing Pill and reactivated their soul sacrifice, absorbing quite a bit of their souls from the cub.

After that, the cub had been in a coma. Two times, it woke up and only ate one or two Black Python Pills before continuing to fall asleep.

Others could not see how abnormal this fur-skinned leopard cub was. The Sect Diagram that presided over the Soul Sacrifice was well-aware. This cub was only one or two months old, and it could even be said that it was innately deficient. Its soul was already strong enough to sustain a single soul sacrifice consumption. It was truly unimaginable how rare its bloodline was.

Chen Xun tossed the cub onto the bed, allowing it to continue to fall asleep, and continued to discuss business with Grandpa and the others.

The Azure Water Wilderness stretched for three to four thousand kilometers. There were more than three to five thousand tribes of all sizes. The one or two hundred tribes around Python Fang Ridge were only a tiny branch.

Although the Su Clan was the Azure Water Wasteland’s mighty lord and noble duke, they were not officially conferred the title by the Xi Martial Emperor Dynasty, so they did not have formal control over the various tribes in the Azure Water Wasteland.

The Su Clan was the main body of the various clans, but the affairs and disputes within and among the clans were not under the control of the Su Clan.

Right now, the Su Clan had just reached the north of Python Fang Ridge. The Gui Xi Tribe was frightened by the Su Clan’s might and restrained their actions. However, the Gui Xi Tribe was still a threat hanging above the heads of the tribes of the Northern Mountain.

In the past, some clans still had fantasies, but after nearly a thousand clan disciples were killed by Ghost Faction, everyone understood.

Zong Tu, Zong Sang came here to discuss the alliance of the nine races with Gu Hu, Zuo Chonggu, and the others.

Although the northern mountain of Python Fang Ridge could not be considered the Su Clan’s sphere of influence in name, everyone knew in their hearts that if the nine clans wanted to unite, they had to obtain the Su Clan’s approval.

When the nine races joined forces, there were 30,000 to 50,000 people, but none of them were above the Reincarnation Realm. In terms of absolute strength, they were far from being able to contend against the Gui Xi Tribe. They also needed to use the might of the Su Clan to suppress the Gui Xi Tribe.

None of them had the qualifications to directly meet the Su Clan’s true great figures, but the Su Clan was in charge of the affairs of the Azure Northern Wilderness and Python Teeth Ridge tribes, and it was the Su Wu Commandant’s Mansion.

As long as the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor approved the alliance of the nine races, the Gui Xi Tribe would be able to avoid using their weapons.

“Su Quan and Su Qingfeng are in charge of the internal and external affairs of the Su Martial Lieutenant’s Mansion.” Chen Xun went to the courtyard and told Grandpa Zongtu what he had learned. “Ghost Faction is nominally controlled by Su Qingfeng, but after this trial, I saw that they were very close to Su Quan in the Su Martial Lieutenant’s Mansion. Left Thorn, Montenegro, Black Python, and the other nine races wanted to join forces. Whether they could win Su Qingfeng’s support was crucial. Su Qingfeng was not someone he could meet casually, but Ge Yi could still pay him a visit … ”

“The Left Thorn Division will also take the lead in this matter. We are not anxious.” Zong Tu said.

Chen Xun nodded. Not only was the Left Thorn Tribe overcrowded, more importantly, Qianlan had already entered the inner court to cultivate.

As a purple-clothed disciple, Qianlan’s status was even higher than that of an ordinary deacon or guest. In the future, she might even enter the Heaven Origin Realm.

The current Left Thorn Tribe looked insignificant in terms of absolute strength amongst the thousands of Azure Water Tribes, but because of Qianlan alone, it was worthy of being roped in by various forces.

In the alliance of the nine races, not only the Left Thorn Tribe should lead, but also the Left Thorn Tribe. The Black Python could not show too much enthusiasm, so it could just let nature take its course.

“I was expelled from the Academy, and I also caused Zong Ling and Nan Xi to be expelled.” Chen Xun was also quite apologetic about what had happened after that.

Zong Tu shook his head and smiled. “Zong Ling, Nanxi is still young. They will return to the stronghold with us this time and cultivate peacefully. There may be another chance to enter the Academy in three years. Zong Ya will continue to stay in Azure Water City and take care of some chores.”

Chen Xun quietly listened to Zong Tu.

The Black Python was only a thousand-odd clansmen, and its strength was too weak. The main reason for joining the Nine Clans Alliance was to coexist peacefully with the surrounding clans and buy more time to rest. It would then use the trade routes to trade for urgently needed materials for the cultivation of the clan’s disciples.

A grand introductory ceremony caused a commotion. Almost everyone in the Azure Water Wilderness knew that he was only a guest of the Black Python Clan, not a member of the Black Python Clan. In the future, he would still have to set up his own clan.

He also needed to spend more time cultivating, so it was naturally not convenient for him to take care of the affairs of the Black Python in Azure Water City.

However, with Grandpa, Zong Sang, and Nan Liao, the Black Python was a high-level barbarian martial artist. They could all be assigned to Cang Lan City to guard it, and they shouldn’t put all of this on Zong Ya’s shoulders.

In front of Grandpa Zongtu and Zongsang, there was no need to hide any doubts. Chen Xun directly asked, “Isn’t it better to have Zongsang or Uncle Nan Liao come to Azure Water City?”
