“Is all that you said true?”
After a long silence, Chi Hunzi finally couldn’t help but ask.
He knew very well that Lin Wudao should be telling the truth about the fourth generation of the emissary of River Lethe, but he still wanted to confirm it as it was a matter of great importance.
The Chiyue tribe most certainly did not wish for the Tianfeng tribe to have an emissary of River Lethe. That would be a disaster for them.
At this moment, Chi Hunzi’s heart was heavy, but at the same time, he hoped that all of this wasn’t true.
However, Lin Wudao did not give him that hope.
“Of course. Truth be told, before we came to the Chiyue tribe, we brothers had already gone to the Tianfeng tribe and fought with that emissary of River Lethe. The result…”
“What was the result?” Chi Hunzi asked impatiently.
“Alas, the result was that the two of us brothers used all kinds of tricks and trump cards, but we still couldn’t suppress Feng Changqing. Under the mysterious power of the Lethe Altar, his body has been augmented with the power of the 100,000 Tianfeng tribe members. His battle prowess is comparable to any cultivator at the perfection stage of the Divine Illumination realm. In addition, Feng Changqing has the support of the entire Tianfeng tribe. His strength is endless, and he can recover fast if he is injured. Therefore, it won’t be easy to deal with him,” Lin Wudao pretended to sigh.
Hearing this, Chi Hunzi and the other two frowned. They felt that the situation was more serious than they had imagined.
“So, Feng Changqing is invincible?”
One of the three people, an old man in green called Chi Xinzi, frowned. His old eyes stared intently at Lin Wudao.
“Well, we do have ways to deal with him. As long as the Chiyue tribe joins forces with us, we can stall Feng Changqing and make him unable to care about anything else. Meanwhile, the Chiyue tribe will take the opportunity to attack the Tianfeng tribe and try to suppress them in the shortest time possible. This way, we can cut off the connection between Feng Changqing and the Tianfeng tribe.”
“Other than that, we can also head into the River Lethe and find the Lethe Underwater Mansion, then forcefully take away the Lethe Altar. As long as Feng Changqing loses the Lethe Altar, even if he has monstrous combat strength, he won’t be able to use it.”
“The last method is to start with Feng Changqing himself. As far as 1 know, as the emissary of River Lethe, he can’t leave the Tianfeng tribe. Once he does, all the power in his body will be lost. Thus, we can also forcefully abduct Feng Changqing and imprison him in the Chiyue tribe.”
Lin Wudao spoke frankly.
All three methods were feasible.
After hearing Lin Wudao’s plan, Chi Hunzi, Chi Xinzi, and Chi Mingzi fell into deep thought.
They ultimately agreed with all three of them.
“Which method do you think is the best?”
Chi Mingzi, who had been silent all this while, said solemnly.
“My suggestion is to implement all three plans at the same time. As long as the Chiyue tribe sends out troops, we can stall Feng Changqing first and then kidnap him by force. Then, we’ll think of a way to find the Lethe Altar and destroy his foundation. Lastly, we will annex the Tianfeng tribe. Once all of this is completed, even if Feng Changqing has great ability, he will be powerless to reverse the situation. When the time comes, we brothers will have our revenge, and you will also be rid of your big problem. It will be the best of both worlds,” Lin Wudao said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Chi Hunzi and the other two looked at each other and finally steeled themselves before nodding.
“Very well. In that case, let’s do it! There’s no time to lose. Chi Xinzi and I will follow you to the Tianfeng tribe to test Feng Changqing’s strength. As for Chi Mingzi, he will lead the tribe’s soldiers and follow closely behind, waiting for an opportunity to strike,” Chi Hunzi said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao naturally had no objections.
What he wanted was for the Chiyue tribe to send troops to attack the Tianfeng tribe. It didn’t really matter if they attacked or not.
Furthermore, once they reached the Tianfeng tribe, he had plenty of ways to force them to make a move.
The Chiyue tribe was swift and decisive.
After the two sides came to an agreement, Lin Wudao, Chi Hunzi, and the others went ahead and headed to the Tianfeng tribe in full gear.
Behind them, Chi Mingzi led the tribe soldiers to follow them.
“Old ancestor, are these two people really trustworthy? Could this be a trick? Or is it a trap set by them and the Tianfeng Tribe? Do they want to make us walk into the trap?”
Outside the ancestral shrine, the leader Chi Yan asked worriedly while looking at the departing figures of Lin Wudao and Qin Daofu.
In response, the corners of Chi Mingzi’s lips curled into a cold smile.
“Don’t worry, the Chiyue tribe is not a fool. How could we fall for such a trick? If we weren’t 100% confident, would we have attacked? Let those two take the lead and probe the Tianfeng tribe and the emissary of River Lethe. If we can really wipe out the Tianfeng tribe in one fell swoop, then we can naturally take action. But if it doesn’t work, we will watch from the sidelines. In short, unless it is absolutely necessary, there is no need for us to attack. We can just watch the show,” Chi Mingzi said calmly.
Hearing this, Chi Yan nodded thoughtfully. He seemed to understand.
“Old ancestor, do we still need to lead the tribe soldiers over then?”
“Yes. Since we have already sworn an oath to the heavens, we have to at least put on a show. Immediately gather the tribe soldiers and head to the Tianfeng tribe. When you arrive, listen to our orders.”
“Yes!”
Upon hearing the order, Chi Yan bowed and left immediately.
Wu…
A moment later, accompanied by an ancient and deep horn, a group of majestic and ferocious figures soared into the sky from Chiyue City.
Not long after, they gathered and formed a fearless army of ten thousand men.
“Men, the time has come! Now, follow me to attack the Tianfeng tribe and avenge our deceased ancestors!”
In the air, Chi Yan brandished the spear in his hand and roared. He was filled with fighting spirit.
“Revenge! We swear to destroy the Tianfeng tribe!”
“Revenge! We swear to destroy the Tianfeng tribe!”
The 10,000-man army roared in unison, and their united voice shook the world.
“Let’s go!”
When everyone’s fighting spirit rose to the extreme, Chi Yan waved his hand and immediately steered the spiritual boat, leading the army of the tribe and charging forward.
The Mad Daoist who was hiding in the darkness saw all this.
“Tsk tsk, the strength and foundation of this Chiyue tribe are really very powerful. It can be said that all its members are soldiers. This time, I’m afraid there’ll be a good show to watch in the Tianfeng tribe. Besides, it’ll be easier for me to take action after you guys leave. Since it’s also a tribe that has been around for tens of thousands of years, hopefully, I’ll be able to dig up something good from the ancestral graves of the Chiyue tribe.”
In the darkness, the Mad Daoist revealed an evil smile.
After that, he disappeared into the dark void. Then, with the precise positioning of his dharma eye, he quickly headed toward the ancestral grave of the Chiyue tribe.
However, what he did not know was that just as he left, another strange figure appeared where he had been, looking at his figure thoughtfully.
This person was also hiding in the darkness. He was wearing a mysterious black cloak and emitting a dark aura. It was as if he was one with the darkness.
“That should be the grave robber who went to my tribe’s temple to dig graves. Is he also targeting the Chiyue tribe? If that’s the case, I can’t let you monopolize the benefits. After all, as the Dragon Seeker Emissary, 1 also need treasures to return and report my mission…”
The mysterious man’s lips curled into an inexplicable smile.
Then, he restrained his aura to the extreme before hiding in the darkness and quietly following the Mad Daoist..
