Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Chapter 435 - 31: Youxiong Invasion, Two Battlefronts

Yi Lin looked at Chi You with eyes full of suspicion, suddenly everything made sense.

No wonder Shen Fei could become the High Priest as soon as he entered the Jiuli Tribe, even though their relationship with Yan and Huang was more significant.

Yet Shen Fei joined the Jiuli Tribe and quickly became the High Priest, even commanding major forces with Tier Ten existences.

It’s not that Shen Fei has any tricks.

But rather, the leader of the Jiuli Tribe is Shen Fei’s Summoned Beast.

It’s too absurd, nothing like this has happened in the Age of Gods.

With the power of [Chiyou Sword Master], Yi Lin stood up from the ground and respectfully said, "Your Excellency!"

"Bring the others as well. As for the reason, figure it out yourself."

Shen Fei shook his head, thinking if Yi Lin and these people messed up at crucial moments, or even during the final battle.

It might add difficulty to his task, but to think they’d even consider using Chi You and Duan Xiu to kill him.

Thinking too much.

Yi Lin’s matter was just a minor episode, letting the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable turn the summoned ones into Ghost Swordsmen.

Then have them connect with people in the Lie Mountain Tribe and the Youxiong Tribe.

At least to know the movements of these two tribes.

The key is still Youxiong; now with the involvement of Professionals from Blue Star, original strategies can’t apply.

Youxiong even intended to ally with Lie Mountain to pressure Jiuli.

In the main tent.

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable sat at the head, beside him were Duan Xiu and Shen Fei.

"Currently, reports from the Zhe Road Tribe indicate the northwest Youxiong Tribe has sent small units to scout our borders."

"Very likely, Xiong Xuanyuan is personally leading the army, planning to attack here."

Duan Xiu furrowed his brows; the Youxiong Tribe’s movements changed too quickly.

Now, the territory divides the Human Race between Lie Mountain, Jiuli, and Youxiong.

Originally, the Lie Mountain Tribe should have been the largest, but Youxiong unified the north, Jiuli the east.

Though the Central Plains occupied by the Lie Mountain Tribe should be the most fertile.

In reality, Jiuli and Youxiong’s territory rival Lie Mountain’s.

Of course, Lie Mountain is still the nominal Common Lord.

Previously, there was some tacit understanding between them, although Xuanyuan has been chosen by Holy Shen Nong as the successor.

But still, without contributions recognized by the whole Human Race, some won’t accept you.

Not to mention there’s Jiuli.

Even in the Lie Mountain Tribe, not everyone agrees Xuanyuan should be the next Common Lord.

Some tribes integrated into Lie Mountain earlier.

Some even feel Xuanyuan’s Youxiong Tribe constantly unifying other tribes is inappropriate.

Instead, they think the next Common Lord should emerge from the Lie Mountain Tribe.

Thus.

Youxiong and Jiuli tend not to invade each other but continuously unify scattered tribes, including those leaving Lie Mountain due to decreased control, to exist independently.

Both actually invade Lie Mountain’s territory and resources, at least until the final battle.

Unexpectedly, Youxiong Tribe acted so fast.

"If it were just one side, we could easily handle it, but two sides..." Duan Xiu frowned deeply, though they lacked high-end combat power, the middle-level remains troublesome.

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable spoke, "I’ll head north; Duan Xiu, you stay in the tribe to oversee everything and always watch for Shennong’s emergence.

Though Shennong is currently unwell, it’s just a lack of lifespan; his power remains True Immortal."

Duan Xiu nodded, "We’ll have to defend against Lie Mountain for now. I’ll tell Can Gang to temporarily abandon previous plans."

Two fronts put too much pressure on them.

Shen Fei: "I’ll visit the battlefield by Lie Mountain; the tribe’s middle forces move northward; under my command, a troop can withstand Lie Mountain Tribe."

"I’ve written the tribe’s development plan; later I’ll discuss it with Priest Duan, and temporarily I shall visit the Lie Mountain Tribe."

Though Duan Xiu wondered where Shen Fei got an army after recent events, he already understood part of Shen Fei’s mystery.

Chi You probably knew of his peculiarities, hence making him High Priest.

He actually doesn’t trust Shen Fei but trusts Chi You.

Duan Xiu’s thought was simple; he doesn’t care about power in the Jiuli Tribe; otherwise, he’d never agree to form the Jiuli Tribe with Chi You.

As long as it’s for the Jiuli Tribe, or for Border People’s sake, Duan Xiu doesn’t care about your origins.

About those coming, they are ridiculous.

Since Jiuli already has a High Priest working, why do we need you?

"Wind God, Rain Master... You few will accompany me northward; during my absence, all tribal matters are managed by the High Priest and Priest Duan together."

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable spoke.

"Yes."

Everyone nodded.

"Jiuli wins!" The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable said in a deep voice.

"Jiuli wins!"

Everyone in the tent shouted.

...

Mufu Camp.

Can Gang received messages from the tribe, turning to the Empress, "High Priest is coming?!"

"Yes, the northern Youxiong Tribe is also advancing toward us; Chi You leads northward, while our frontline strength will be partially weakened.

So the High Priest comes personally to swiftly conquer the Lie Mountain Tribe."

Though Shen Fei didn’t tell the Empress, she also knew why Shen Fei personally came here; with Youxiong accelerating, this side needed to speed up too.

Little Pu heard Little Immortal would soon arrive at the Jiuli Tribe.

With Little Immortal’s current Tier Nine prowess, the Void army is a strong force.

Surrounding Tier Ten would be easy.

If Chi Songzi came, he wouldn’t return.

"Do we continue with the previous plan?"

"Continue."

The Empress glanced at the intelligence in her hands, sent by Medicine Ancestor.

After contacting before.

Distance too far may cause communication gaps.

Yet Medicine Ancestor and the Empress close enough can acquire information from the Lie Mountain Tribe.

The intelligence mentioned two previous contributions.

Plus Medicine Ancestor’s constitution, now Medicine Ancestor became Shennong’s True Inheritance.

Moreover, their speaking power among cultivators became substantial.

And established contact with Ma Shihuang.

Medicine Ancestor’s status elevation in the Lie Mountain Tribe made the Empress knowledgeable of the tribe’s movements.

Knowing the Lie Mountain Tribe replicates what the owner does in the Jiuliaban Tribe, she couldn’t help but chuckle.

The Lie Mountain Tribe of old could perhaps, but now it’s bloated and inefficient.

The tribe’s glory-raised inhabitants hadn’t thought of contributing to its development.

To the Jiuli Tribe, Youxiong’s threat outweighs Lie Mountain.

One rising sun, one setting sun.
