Chapter 115: The Fourth Great Power Arrives!
Exposed by Qin Zheng's sudden move, Cang Yun didn't panic at all.
"I saw Qin Shao cultivating and didn't dare disturb him," said the Fourth Elder, Cang Yun with a smile.
Qin Zheng glanced at Cang Yun and didn't mention the matter, instead asking: "The four elders have come to find me, is there something important?"
Cang Yun's smile on his face immediately retracted, and a solemn expression appeared. "There is something big, please follow me to the Elder Hall with Qin Shao."
"We're going to the town hall right away."
Qin Zheng put away the three-pronged demon bone awl and descended the mountain with Cang Yun.
They then entered the town hall.
The so-called Longlao Hall can be considered as the highest and most powerful decision-making place of the Dragon Elephant Tribe.
Upon arriving at the Longlao Temple, Qin Zheng found that some of the high-ranking members of the Dragon Elephant Tribe had gathered outside, whispering and discussing among themselves, with some even arguing.
Inside it is quiet as a crow and sparrow make no sound.
When Qin Zheng and Cangyun arrived, the onlookers who were discussing outside immediately shut their mouths.
Those with a strong personality rushed to Qin Zheng's side and shouted, "Qin Shao, we can't just leave the old, weak, women and children behind and escape on our own. That would be unbearable for us."
As soon as someone speaks up, others immediately follow suit.
"Shut up, all of you! What's there to make a fuss about?" Cang Yun shouted angrily.
The scene fell silent once again.
Qin Zheng furrowed his brow, "Everyone, please remain calm, the Council of Elders will make the correct decision."
He walked directly into the church.
There were thirteen elders sitting in the hall of elders. The seats for the second and third elder were empty, as these two elders had reached their limit and passed away.
Many elders stood up one after another.
"No need for formalities." Qin Zheng walked directly to the front and stood in the position of the clan leader, without sitting down.
Four elderly men with grey hair sat on one side.
Qin Zheng's gaze swept over all the elders present.
Among them were two traitors, and he didn't even give them a second glance.
"On the way here, he mentioned to me that apart from Linggu Domain, Riyao Dao Field and Jiaomang Tribe, there is another group of people coming, and they are not targeting the Three Lives Linglong Beast, but like Jiaomang Tribe, they want to destroy our Longxiang Tribe." Qin Zheng said after a while.
The old hall is silent as a crow in the dead of night.
Everyone's brows were furrowed, with a worried look, and no fighting spirit at all.
This scene was also expected by Qin Zheng. When he first saw this situation from the memory crystal ball, he almost lost his confidence due to the shock.
"Which elder can tell me what this new powerful force is and where it comes from?" Qin Zheng asked.
The Great Elder Lie Feng and the Fourth Elder Cang Yun both didn't respond.
A 1.7-meter-tall elder stood up, one of the seven elders of the Longxiang tribe, whose height was considered to be among the shortest in the Longxiang tribe.
"Qin Shao, let me say it." said Seventh Elder.
"Please speak," Qin Zheng said.
The seven elders coughed lightly, "Qin Shao may not know that the old tribe leader has an enemy named Ge Han. This person's twin children once hunted and killed a dragon elephant, and were killed by the old tribe leader, thus forming a feud. This Ge Han was originally just a lone wolf with no one to rely on, and his strength was also unable to contend with the old tribe leader, let alone have the ability to clash with our Dragon Elephant Tribe. Therefore, he made an oath that for as long as he lives, his goal would be to destroy the Dragon Elephant Tribe. For this reason, he traveled far away to the Da Tong Empire and established a powerful force called the Holy Eye Thieves' Guild, named after Ge Han's martial arts technique. This time, upon learning of our Dragon Elephant Tribe's predicament, he immediately led his troops to hurry over."
Saint Thieves' Guild?
Qin Zheng thought for a moment, the two major forces recorded in the memory crystal ball seemed to be hesitant about whether to come or not, and there was no mention of the Holy Thief Guild.
"What is the strength of this Holy Eye Thieves' Guild?" Qin Zheng asked.
"Zu is capable of rivaling our Dragon Elephant Clan without falling behind, on the condition that the Great Elder can withstand Ge Han," said the Seventh Elder.
"This is just a trivial matter, in the Linggu Domain, before the three major powers of Riyao Daochang and Jiaomang Tribe, what waves can they stir up? Because of this, some have gone too far." Qin Zheng frowned.
The seven elders sighed and said, "It's just that simple, the problem is that Ge Han has a close relationship with Huang Wenze, the master of Longxiang Daochang. This time he came, it is said that he has already reached an agreement with Huang Wenze, to advance and retreat together. Moreover, the Zhu family and the Xiang family also want to form an alliance with him, and the four parties will join forces, which will be a completely different situation."
Qin Zheng suddenly realized that the situation had become even more severe.
If these four forces do not form an alliance, it will be a mob and cannot pose a great threat. However, if they form an alliance, their strength will be really strong, and can be called the fourth force outside the three major forces.
The seven elders continued, "What's most feared about the Sacred Arrow Thieves is that divine archery squad. Nine people form a team, each with divine archery martial intent. When they join forces, with their nine-person Intent Realm mastery, they can fuse the nine great martial intents to shoot and kill mid-level Heavenly Martial Realm experts. This long-range attack, combined with Ge Han's attacking power, is almost unstoppable, causing us the greatest harm."
"Besides, we also received news that the three major forces in Ziyang Town, Longxiang Daochang, Xiang Family and Zhu Family, have each sent people to invite some of their friends. Once these people arrive, they may have the power to rival the three major forces. If so, it will be four major forces ganging up on us, and any one of them can easily sweep away our Longxiang Clan. How can we resist?"
"So in order to preserve the roots of the Longxiang tribe and allow it to rise again in the future, I think there should be some sacrifices."
There were several elders in the church who agreed with the seven elders.
The four elders said in unison with a heavy tone: "I suggest fighting to the death!"
This proposal also won the approval of several elders.
As they talked on, the elderly men with differing opinions started quarreling.
Qin Zheng looked around and found that only the Great Elder Lie Feng had not spoken, sitting there in silence. He raised his voice slightly and said: "Great Elder, what's your opinion?"
This also means to stop the noise and quarrel.
As expected, all the elders fell silent.
Everyone looked at the Great Elder Lie Feng, who had been in charge of the Dragon and Elephant Tribe for the longest time and had the highest prestige.
"I think a desperate fight is better." Lie Feng said, "At present, the three major forces of Linggu Domain, Riyao Daochang and Jiaomang Tribe have already entered the Longxiang Mountains, they must be monitoring our every move. If someone leaves, it's likely to be ambushed by them, which would only make our Longxiang tribe people being annihilated faster."
His words also made several elderly people who had agreed to make some concessions hesitate.
Qin Zhengdao said, "The Great Elder is right. These three major forces have nearly twenty Tianwu realm strongmen who can fly in the air to monitor us. There are also some flying demon beasts that serve as mounts, constantly paying attention to this place. It's only normal that if we send someone out, they will definitely be discovered."
"It seems our Dragon Elephant Clan is doomed to extinction after all." The Seventh Elder's eyes turned dull as he plopped down on the ground.
"Not necessarily." Qin Zheng smiled and said.
Many elders looked at him.
Qin Zheng then asked Da Zhang Lao Lie Feng: "Can you complete the breakthrough?"
"What? Breakthrough!"
"Can the Great Elder still break through? It's really impossible, the deadline has arrived, blood and energy are exhausted, strength can only decrease, at most maintaining its original height."
"What's going on here."
The elders were all shocked.
Qin Zheng nodded at the Great Elder Lie Feng.
Liefeng finally said, "My lifespan has reached its limit. I've barely managed to maintain my strength at the mid-level of Tianwu Realm without declining. Originally, it was impossible for me to break through again, but Qin Shao gave me a drop of Longxiang Divine Blood."
Boom!
The old hall was in an uproar.
All the elders were called up, unbelievable.
"How can there be dragon elephant god blood?"
"Where did Qin Shao come from? Is there still some?"
"The Dragon Elephant God's Blood can change our Dragon Elephant Clan's martial pulse, lifespan, strength, physical quality and so on, it's almost like a rebirth."
Everyone was excited and envious as they looked at Lie Feng.
Qin Zheng stretched out his hand and signaled for quiet.
The boiling old hall finally calmed down again.
Some people were excitedly watching Qin Zheng, expecting him to take out the Dragon Elephant Divine Blood again, leaving Qin Zheng speechless. Is the Dragon Elephant Divine Blood something that can be taken out at will?
"I wonder what stage the Dragon Elephant God's Blood has been refined to by the Great Elder." Qin Zheng asked.
"Anytime, anywhere I can break through to the high-level Tianwu realm, and the Longxiang Shenxue improves my martial pulse, physical quality, making my combat power greatly increased. I believe that on the day of the tribe leader's Tribulation, I should be able to contend with any high-level Tianwu realm cultivator." Lie Feng said his own situation.
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "This time, many experts have come, and there are not a few in the Tianwu realm. However, those who have reached the high level of the Tianwu realm are rare. If the Great Elder can reach the great completion of the Tianwu realm, I think our chances of winning will be greater."
Liefeng bitterly smiled and said: "My talent is limited, in such a short time, I'm afraid it's impossible."
"And what about me?" Qin Zheng pointed a finger, and a wisp of eerie flame appeared between his fingers.
"Is this the demonic flame produced by the fusion of those two tattered flags of the Great Flame Emperor?" Lie Feng asked in puzzlement.
"That's right, I've already had someone refine this demon fire. After the Great Elder refines it, it can be combined with the Dragon Elephant God Blood, and they will assist each other. Not only will it help the Great Elder fully refine the Dragon Elephant God Blood at the fastest speed, reaching the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm, but also with the help of the demon fire, there is a certain possibility to impact the Soul Martial Realm." Qin Zheng lightly flicked this demon fire, and it flew into Lie Feng's hand.
Fierce Wind was shocked and said: "Is there such a wonderful thing?"
Qin Zhengdao said: "This is what I got when I first obtained the Dragon Elephant Swallowing Heaven Technique and the Dragon Elephant Divine Blood. In the cultivation method mentioned in it, it specifically mentions that the pure demon fire and the dragon elephant divine blood can combine to make it possible for someone to have a certain possibility of generating the dragon elephant martial vein. If it is obtained by a member of the dragon elephant tribe, it will help the dragon elephant divine blood to complete its refinement in the shortest time."
"Thank you, Qin, for your help." Lie Feng stood up and bowed deeply.
Qin Zheng hastily stopped him, "Elder, you're being too polite. We're a family, united against our enemies, it's only natural. Moreover, once Elder reaches the peak of Tianwu Realm, his help to us will be incredibly astonishing."
Lie Feng said in a deep voice: "I, Lie Feng, will definitely go all out."
All the elders stopped discussing the previous topic and began to discuss how much help Lie Feng would be to them if he became a Tianwu Realm Great Perfection.
Suddenly, a long laugh pierced the sky, echoing above the Dragon Elephant tribe's residence, and an overwhelming pressure was transmitted, showing at least the power of the Heavenly Martial Realm.
Qin Zheng and others rushed out immediately, as this laughter carried a strong provocative meaning.
As soon as they came out, a figure flashed through the air like lightning and went in the direction of the martial arts arena. A group of people immediately rushed over.
Before even arriving at the martial arena, I saw that person's back sprout a pair of burning wings. With a light flap, flames shot out and forced the Dragon Elephant Tribe's skilled practitioners, who had been bitterly training on the martial arena, to explosively retreat.
Upon seeing those burning wings, the faces of Elder Longfeng and many other elders changed drastically.
Qin Zheng also recognized that this person was one of the scattered cultivators mentioned in the Shunfeng Ear's Memory Crystal Ball, and was the most formidable one among the three Linglong beasts targeting Yuxiuqin.
Longxiang Mountains' number one master... Mo Wushuang!
