Chapter 844: Chapter 321: Advancement and Call for Reinforcements (Part 3)
"Elder Fu"
"Hmm"
Fu Changsheng cast a Sound Insulation Technique.
Time was pressing, so Shi Clan Leader didn’t hold back and immediately said:
"I request Elder Fu to assist in attacking the Celestial Woe Tribe. Our four families have unanimously agreed that if Elder Fu assists, half of the profits from the attack on the Celestial Woe Tribe will go to you."
Originally, Shi Clan Leader intended to haggle, starting with a lower offer.
But to show sincerity.
He decided not to play any tricks.
After all, they were all smart people.
Fu Changsheng had long expected they would come to seek help, but he did not expect them to offer such generous terms. The treasures contained within the Celestial Woe Tribe could repair the Celestial Dragon Warship’s Spirit Cannon. Additionally, he would earn Court and Clan Contribution Points, so he was naturally willing to assist:
"I can help, but I have one condition."
Shi Clan Leader, upon hearing this, was relieved, feeling the mission was halfway successful, and hurriedly said:
"Elder Fu, please speak."
"I want to choose the treasures of the Celestial Woe Tribe first."
"This....."
Shi Clan Leader was a bit troubled, as their side already had two Purple Mansion cultivators, and by rights, Shangguan Li should have the first pick of treasures, but Shi Clan Leader gritted his teeth and said:
"Elder Fu, our three families have no objection, but we need Elder Shangguan’s approval. Please hold on a moment."
Saying this.
Shi Clan Leader didn’t delay.
He immediately tapped his storage bag, and with a flash of dawn light, took out a Communication Jade Talisman. In the presence of Fu Changsheng, he honestly relayed the message, and after a while, the Jade Talisman flickered, and Shangguan Li’s voice, which contained a hint of anger, came through:
"Agree to it."
Upon hearing this.
Shi Clan Leader’s eyes immediately brightened, and he cupped his hands, saying:
"Elder Shangguan agreed. Elder Fu, when do you think you can set off?"
"Please wait a moment."
Fu Changsheng turned around and entered the Grand Array, and when he told Fu Yongqi that he was going to assist the Shi Family and others, Fu Yongqi’s face showed a worried expression:
"Patriarch, the Luo Family hasn’t given the order; in fact, we don’t have to go. The Celestial Woe Tribe, having learned from the Yinan Tribe, will likely be more cautious. Capturing the mountain gate might be even more difficult than with the Yinan Tribe."
The implication was.
Fu Yongqi did not wish for Fu Changsheng to take risks.
Fu Changsheng waved his hand and said:
"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Just guard the mountain gate well."
Autumn Cicada was still refining souls.
So Fu Changsheng didn’t plan to take her along, and he left the Tier Three Corpse Puppet behind as well:
"If there’s any sign of trouble, inform me immediately."
"Patriarch, be careful in everything! Do you want to take the Celestial Dragon Warship with you?"
"No, you guys keep it."
The Yinan Tribe’s mountain gate was hard-won; it couldn’t be left vulnerable. With two major Purple Mansion powers, the Celestial Dragon Warship, and three Array Masters, led by Yaoyao, even if a Late-Stage Purple Mansion came, they could hold until he returned from the Celestial Woe Tribe, especially since the Cyan Flood Dragon is faster than a Fake Core cultivator.
.....
Celestial Woe Tribe.
In the discussion hall.
The former chieftain died in the battle to attack the Yinan Tribe.
Now, the tribe had only four Purple Mansions left.
The newly appointed chieftain, in the past few years, had secretly broken through to the Late-Stage Purple Mansion by using the tribe’s hidden reserves.
In the hall.
The youngest Third Elder couldn’t help but say:
"Chieftain, there are only two Early-Stage Purple Mansion cultivators outside. Instead of letting the tribe live in fear, why not charge out directly? With your Late-Stage Purple Mansion cultivation, won’t it be easy to kill those two Early-Stage Purple Mansions?"
Celestial Woe Chieftain remained unmoved.
The Grand Elder, seeing this, glared at the Third Elder:
"I say, old three, these Great Zhou cultivators are very crafty. On the surface, there are two Early-Stage Purple Mansion cultivators, but who knows, there might be a Late-Stage Purple Mansion hiding, setting up a Celestial Net, waiting for us to go out. We have this Mountain Protection Array, and unless a Golden Core comes, we can stay undefeated. Why are you anxious?"
Celestial Woe Chieftain opened his eyes at this moment.
His gaze fell on the Second Elder:
"Second, has there been any news from the Yinan Tribe?"
"Reporting to the Chieftain, I have contacted all the spies we planted in the Yinan Tribe several times, but not a single one has sent a message. Furthermore, the Life Soul Lamp of the dark pieces we selected within our tribe has already extinguished, indicating that the Yinan Tribe is likely.....fallen!"
What?!
The Third Elder suddenly stood up upon hearing this:
"This.... how could it be?! The Yinan Tribe has a Tier Four Array. Last time, we only got in because we had internal help, but the previous chieftain and others still died there. This shows the strength of their Mountain Protection Array. Who could capture their tribe?"
It’s not so much disbelief.
As it is unease and anxiety.
Celestial Woe Chieftain sighed lightly and slowly said:
"Not long ago, I received a transmission from our superior, the Celestial Toad Tribe, instructing us to set off and support the main tribe immediately. From this point, we can see that Great Zhou is serious this time."
"Chieftain, are you... are you telling the truth?"
The Third Elder’s voice was trembling.
The Celestial Toad Tribe is a Golden Core tribe.
If they are requesting aid.
It indicates that Great Zhou also sent Golden Cores. Once we rush in, we’ll likely become cannon fodder as well.
The Third Elder finally understood why the chieftain hadn’t moved to kill the two Early-Stage Purple Mansions outside; clearly, he was making excuses not to send troops, a painstaking strategy by the chieftain.
However.
The Third Elder still worried:
"Chieftain, if the Celestial Toad Tribe....can’t hold and is attacked, then we..."
If even a Golden Core tribe is conquered.
How can we hope to be spared?
Celestial Woe Chieftain knocked on the table and said:
"This time, Great Zhou is attacking on a grand scale; the Royal Court cannot remain inactive. We just need to hold the mountain gate and wait for the Royal Court to send troops to drive the Great Zhou cultivators out of the Eastern Wilderness."
The Third Elder, upon hearing this.
His eyes immediately brightened.
Hastily, he said:
"In this case, I must return to the Array Hall first."
The Third Elder was in charge of the Mountain Protection Array.
Now understanding its importance, he dared not slack off.
As he spoke.
He stood up, cupped his hands.
And hurriedly prepared to leave.
Suddenly.
Rumble!
A tremor shook the ground.
This time.
The attack was more ferocious than any previous assault, and the Third Elder and others’ expressions changed drastically!
