On the shore of Mingjing Lake, in the main hall of the Cangwu tribe.
Ye Ling and Ning Changge couldn't help but feel suspicious when they saw the monk. Ning Changge sent a message to Ye Ling: "This monk is obviously not a barbarian, but why are the humans from the Eastern Region so close to the Mengzhang tribe?"
Ye Ling was silent, listening to the barbarian saying that he would invite the heads of the three tribes to discuss the merger of the eight tribes: "We still want to invite you three tribes to the Hongling Mountains today to discuss the merger!"
Dan asked: "What is the purpose of the Mengzhang tribe?"
"My tribes are scattered in various places, and it is difficult for them to support each other. We are afraid of being persecuted by the demon clan. If we can merge into one clan, we will no longer be afraid of the demons from other places."
Ning Changge looked at the monk and asked, "This person doesn't seem to be from our barbarian tribe, but I don't know where he came from?"
The monk seemed a little dismissive of the barbarians and said with a smile: "I am the elder Keqing of the Mengzhang tribe. It wouldn't be surprising if you don't recognize me."
Ye Ling said: "Looking at you, you seem to be from the Eastern Territory human race, and you are also a swordsman!"
"oh?"
The monk raised his eyebrows: "You still have some knowledge. To tell you the truth, I am a disciple of the Wanjian Shenzong. Now my Wanjian Shenzong and the Mengzhang tribe are in an alliance. Therefore, our Wanjian Shenzong strongly supports the alliance of the eight barbarian tribes. As a clan. Of course, even if you refuse, it doesn’t matter. When the time comes, I, the Wanjian Shenzong and the Mengzhang Tribe will make you willing.”
When he heard the words "Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect", Ye Ling's color changed. He had long heard from Nan An that the survivors of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were hiding near the Southern Territory and would one day bring Ye Ling back to the sect.
Now, after meeting this disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect, Ye Ling no longer has a good impression of him.
Ning Changge glanced at Ye Ling, and then said: "The Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect? I have never heard of it. What can you, the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect, do? How dare you threaten my three clans?"
The disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect sneered: "You are a frog in a well, how can you know that the sky is as high as the sky? To tell you the truth, my current sect leader, the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect, is a Celestial Realm cultivator. He alone swept through eight tribes of your barbarians, and it was nothing more than a backhand move. I advise you. You guys, don’t be disrespectful! Now the Zhiming Tribe and the Lingguang Tribe have agreed to merge. If you don’t go, the person who comes next time may not be the messenger.”
Hearing this, Ye Ling said in a deep voice: "So, we have to agree even if we don't agree."
"That's true, but I still want to say it more beautifully."
The monk looked at Dan, smiled and said: "You are the leader of the Cangwu tribe? When the eight tribes merge, I will take you as my concubine, how about it?"
Everyone's expressions changed. Ye Ling stood up and said, "Senior Nan'an, are you in the Hongling Mountains?"
As soon as these words came out, the monk's expression suddenly changed: "Who are you, and how do you know the name of Elder Nan?"
"Senior Nan'an and I once had a chance encounter. Therefore, I fully agree with the proposal of merging the eight races."
"So that's it," the monk said with a smile, "You know the truth. But Elder Nan is not in the Hongling Mountains at the moment. If you are..."
"We also ask the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect to invite Senior Nan'an back. Only with Senior Nan'an here will our three clans agree, otherwise we would rather die than surrender!"
"That's right!"
Ning Changge and Dan naturally agreed with Ye Ling.
When the disciples of the Wanjian Shen Sect saw this, they snorted coldly and said, "Okay, since you insist on seeking death, I won't force you to do so, so I'll take my leave!"
After that, the disciple turned around and left. The two barbarians from the Mengzhang tribe had no choice but to follow him.
"Wait, you two, stay!" Ning Changge suddenly said: "I have a reply letter here for you to take back. Please wait a moment."
After hearing this, the two barbarians looked at the disciple of the Wanjian Shen Sect. The disciple turned around and left without saying a word.
Ning Changge called the two barbarians aside and said something to them before giving them a letter and letting them leave.
After sending the three people away, Ning Changge came to talk to Ye Ling and others: "I have already inquired about it. The Mengzhang tribe is nominally an ally of the Wanjian Shenzong, but in fact it has been controlled by the Wanjian Shenzong. Every move is controlled by the Sect. You must obey the orders of the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect.”
Dan asked: "What does the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect want?
Why are my eight races united into one? "
Ye Ling said: "I just want to control all the barbarian tribes. The Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect was destroyed by the sects in the Eastern Region a thousand years ago, and I want to return to the Eastern Region all the time!"
Ning Changge had only heard about it from Xu Hong and others, and did not know much about the relationship between Ye Ling and the Wanjian Shenzong, so he asked, "Why must Senior Nan'an be here before we can go?"
Ye Ling said: "Nothing, I just want Senior Nan An to see with his own eyes what the Wanjian Divine Sect looks like now."
Elder Kui asked: "We need to prepare in advance in case they really use force to force us."
Ye Ling waved his hand and said with a smile: "They are trying to make us surrender. They will not send strong men to kill anyone. If any of us is killed, we will lose combat power. The gain is not worth the loss!"
True to what Ye Ling said, nearly a month had passed since then, and neither the Mengzhang Tribe nor the Wanjian Shen Sect sent anyone again. At the same time, messengers sent to other tribes returned one after another.
"The chief and several elders of the Juchen tribe have already set off for the Hongling Mountains and should have arrived by now."
"The chiefs and elders of the Siwu tribe had just set off when I went there, and they should still be on their way now."
"The Zhiming tribe has agreed to the proposal to merge the eight tribes. Now the people of the Zhiming tribe are preparing to move to the Hongling Mountains."
"The Lingguang tribe, like the Zhiming tribe, has agreed to merge, and some tribesmen are already on their way to migrate."
"The war between several tribes of the Fuyu tribe has ended. They have agreed to merge and accept the leadership of the Wanjian Shenzong."
After Yong heard the news about the Fuyu tribe, he gritted his teeth secretly. Their tribe had no say in the Fuyu tribe, but he was never willing to obey the leadership of someone like the Wanjian Shenzong.
Ning Changge said: "It seems that the strength of the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect is stronger than we imagined."
Elder Hui of the Houzhao tribe said: "Among the eight tribes of our barbarians, the Mengzhang tribe is the strongest. They were the first to join the Wanjian Shenzong, which shows how powerful they are. The next ones are the Juchen tribe and our Houzhao tribe. . Now my second branch has not yet joined, and things are not without improvement."
Elder Kui sighed: "It's just that the chiefs and elders of the Juchen tribe have already arrived at the Hongling Mountains, and we are a step too late."
"It's not too late!"
Ye Ling said: "We are closest to the Hongling Mountains. As long as we leave immediately and unite with the Juchen tribe, we may not be defeated one by one by the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect."
Elder Yuan said: "Wouldn't it be more dangerous to go there rashly if we don't know the strength of the enemy?"
Ye Ling said: "I know a little bit about the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect. Senior Nan'an's realm cultivation is the highest in the sect. He once told me that there are no rising stars among the juniors. He talked about the strong ones in the Celestial Realm. , there will definitely not be a few people, so as long as our two tribes join forces, we will definitely make the Wanjian Shenzong throw the rat into a trap!"
Ning Changge nodded and said, "What Ye Zi said makes sense, let's leave immediately?"
Ye Ling said: "Clan Chief Ning, you can't go. If anything happens to those of us who go, we need you, Clan Chief Ning, to take charge of the overall situation."
"Yi Zi, don't say frustrating words at this time."
"Everything must be prepared with backup plans. This matter has been settled. I, Dan Yong, and several elders will go there, and you stay. If anything happens to us, you will have to shoulder the responsibility of the leader of the three clans. Come."
Dan would not object to Ye Ling's words, he fully agreed. Yong's injury is not serious, so he naturally has to go.
So, nine people, including Ye Ling, Dan, Yong, Elder Kui, Elder Ying, Elder Yuan, and Elder Hui, Elder Yu, and Elder Kuan from the Houzhao tribe headed to the Hongling Mountains.
The nine people took Teng Yun and set off in the early morning of the next day, leaving the shore of Mingjing Lake. Ning Changge and Ban Xue watched the nine people leave. Ban Xue held the newly full moon Ning Yu and said, "They will be safe and sound. Don't worry too much."
Ning Changge looked at the mother and son: "Ye Zi actually sees me as a new father and doesn't want me to put myself in danger, so that's why I won't let you follow."
"Brother Ye always thinks about you. But I still have selfish motives. Even if he asks you to go, I will probably ask you
Don't leave us, mother and son. "
Ning Changge gently hugged Banxue and said, "I will never leave you in this life!"
Lu looked at the two loving people and secretly prayed that Yong could return to her safely...
But he said that the Hongling Mountains got their name because of the rare red soil produced in the mountains, which can be used to refine Taoist tools, so the demon tribe has always occupied this place.
Now that the demon tribe has been expelled, in front of the red clay mine, the tribesmen of the Mengzhang tribe are constantly mining and transporting red soil. These tribesmen are so tired that they are unsteady on their feet. Some people often fall down and scatter the red soil on the ground. When the disciples of the Wanjian Shen Sect who were guarding saw it, they immediately stepped forward to beat them with whips and shouted: "You useless things, you can't even do such a small thing! I'm looking for a beating!"
The old man was beaten to death without a few whips. The tribesmen nearby were angry but did not dare to speak, and wept silently.
At the highest peak of the Hongling Mountains, the proposed houses and dojo have been built. The disciples of the Wanjian Shen Sect coming and going were chatting and laughing, very proud of themselves.
Halfway up the mountain, there were barbarian monks from the Mengzhang tribe who were practicing hard. They were greatly surprised when they got some skills given by the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect. After practicing, their strength increased rapidly. Therefore, they were not convinced of what the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect had done. Do not care.
When a disciple saw the disciple who had been envoyed to Mingjing Lake come back, he immediately asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Liang, have you scared the courage out of those barbarians when you met them this time? Come and surrender obediently?"
Disciple Liang didn't say anything and returned to his residence with a straight face. He saw that the yard was full of pretty barbarian girls. He caught one of his eyes and pulled her into the room to play with, venting his dissatisfaction: " Despicable barbarian! Even a dog-like thing dares to disobey me!"
The girl was just a mortal. She couldn't bear it, and she died soon after. When the other women saw it, they just lowered their heads and stared blankly, because they knew that they would end up like this sooner or later.
In a stone palace on the top of the mountain, there were several old men sitting upright. Their sharp edges were hidden and not revealed, and they looked like they were well-educated.
Not long after, someone came to report: "People from the Juchen tribe have arrived!"
An old man said: "The strength of the Juchen tribe is second only to Meng Zhang. We need to deal with it carefully and try to make them surrender with one blow."
"What are you afraid of? Barbarians are just like beasts. If you dare to disobey, kill a few of them and no one will dare to resist!"
"You are still so impatient. If you want these barbarians to be used by us, you must attack your heart first and not be reckless!"
