Chapter Ten: The Sound of the Horn

  The Bloodstone Tribe is located in the east, one thousand five hundred miles away.

  This is a strangely shaped valley, like a giant curved moon, and also like a broken long tooth. The wind whistles through the empty space above the valley, with no clouds in the thousands of feet of void, allowing sunlight to shine directly down.

  At this time, on the edge of the mountain valley, a black shadow walked slowly, constantly measuring, and occasionally stretched out withered fingers to bury inferior precious stones in the ground. The dark pupils emitted waves of cold intent.

  "He actually died, what a waste. However, being able to kill one of the Blood Clan's patriarchs shows that the Bloodstone Tribe isn't simple after all. But once I've blood-sacrificed this entire Wind Tooth Tribe, I believe I can condense dozens of False Soul Pellets. Once refined, not only will I be able to break free from my shackles and advance to the Immortal Bone Realm, but I might even be able to take a step further and reach the Immortal Soul Realm."

  "Heiying coldly smiled: 'At that time, the Four Directions' Golden Yuan Xian Secret Art I can also reach the Great Completion realm. The power of a top-grade Xian secret art is enough to be considered half a law. I'd like to see how you few small lower-bloodline people will resist. Chen Shan, although you are the commander of ten thousand men, you will still have to submit under my Bicloud banner!'"

  The Panlei mountain range comes to an end.

  In a vast mountain valley, a 300-meter-high giant silver waterfall cascaded from the sky and fell into a 100-meter-square emerald green pool. Inside the valley, dense dark shadows sat cross-legged, their bodies covered in gleaming blue armor, thick fairy energy swirling around them, clouds and mist shrouding the entire valley, like an immortal realm.

  In front of the emerald green pool, a black figure stood tall and upright. He was a middle-aged man wearing a black immortal armor, with a robust physique and dark yellow long hair that danced in the wind. Between his open eyes, there were flashes of golden light.

  "It's about time."

  Bloodstone Tribe

  At the top of the mountain, Xiao Yi looked far away. The vast and mysterious land was covered with ancient mountains that stretched endlessly into the distance. The Pan Lei mountain range was quiet, except for the occasional low roar of beasts. However, today was somewhat unusual. At the distant end of the mountain range, a thick layer of white fog was rising, covering the sky and hiding everything. The distant sky gradually disappeared, as if it had been erased from the canvas of the heavens.

  In the rock garden.

  Zong Shi's expression was solemn, and through the layers of pine needles, he saw this scene. He let out a low growl: "Can't hold it in anymore?"

  On the mountain wall of the tribe, Shi Hu and Qian Yuan, two great thousand-household chiefs, stood shoulder to shoulder, gazing into the distance with a hint of joy in their eyes.

  "Here I come!"

  Only in the northern sky, a piece of fiery red light appeared, as if a raging fire was burning, slowly approaching, some soldiers guarding the mountain wall only saw clearly that it was hundreds of people from the Volcano Tribe, wearing fiery red armor, emitting hot air all over their bodies. The leader, with a strong and agile figure, had jet-black hair like ink, none other than Chi Long, the strongest young man of the Volcano Tribe, also the champion of the previous War Master Competition.

  As soon as they saw this person, Shi Hu and Qian Fu's expressions changed. From this person's body, they clearly felt a strange aura, which contained a flavor of perfection and completion.

  "Blood Refining Orb Complete!"

  Qianyuan Qianfu Chang said in a deep voice, "Indeed, he has excellent qualifications. With the help of that quasi-first-class martial art, Flame Python and Dragon Fist, even if it's us, it would be difficult to be his opponent after some time."

  Looking again at the back of the Red Dragon, behind each of the Volcano Tribe members, they were all carrying several pieces of fiery red armor, belonging to the exclusive Fire Ape Armor of the Volcano Tribe. After many days, it had finally arrived.

  With these two thousand Flame Ape armor, it is undoubtedly a great benefit for the Bloodstone tribe. Shi Hu Qianfu sighed in his heart, as human warriors, they wanted to kill their enemies and shed less blood, not because they were afraid of death, but because those who died were brothers, and although they couldn't live forever, death was eternal.

  Chi Lung and his party arrived at the foot of the mountain wall. Shi Hu Qianfu Zhang and Gan Yuan Qianfu Zhang exchanged a glance, and simultaneously descended the mountain wall.

  "Chi Longqian personally escorted us, and our Bloodstone Tribe is eternally grateful."

  Looking at the two thousand Huskarl who arrived, Red Dragon lightly smiled and said: "Now that the Black Wind Tribe is blocked on the other side of the Pan Lei mountain range, the Feng Ya Tribe is acting mysteriously, only my Huo Shan Tribe shares a common interest with your tribe. Moreover, the Huo Yuan armor is not something to be underestimated. If it were to be intercepted, the loss would be small, but it would boost the morale of our enemies. In the future, when facing our two tribes, it will still be our people who shed blood. Therefore, my Huo Shan Tribe will not be careless. Now that these two thousand Huskarl have arrived, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

  Qian Yuan Thousand Husband bowed his head: "Then thank you, Chi Long Thousand Husband."

  Chi Long shook his head, and then his eyes calmed down, his gaze fell on the mountain wall, saying: "This trip, Chi Long still wants to see Commander Xiao Yi of your department again. I don't know if the two commanders can allow it."

  With a stir in his heart, Shi Hu and Qian Yuan exchanged a glance, and the latter nodded with a smile: "This is a small matter, of course it can be done."

  The top of the mountain behind.

  Xiao Yi's eyes were fixed intently on the Panlei mountain range, which had completely disappeared from view. A vast expanse of white stretched out before him, like a sea of fog, seemingly calm but with flashes of lightning flickering within.

  Suddenly, Xiao Yi's eyes moved slightly, and he said lightly: "Since you're here, why don't you show yourself?"

  "I still underestimated you, I didn't think you could detect my trail."

  Through the ancient forest, Chi Long walked out with a smile in his eyes, and an unusual light appeared inside: "It seems that your spiritual will has approached the peak of the ordinary realm, or rather, you have broken through the shackles again and advanced to the peak of the ordinary realm."

  "You'll know if you try." Xiao Yi said with his back to Chi Long, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

  "Good!"

  The red dragon nodded, and the next moment he took action. A five-zhang-long single-horned flame python appeared behind him, its majestic spiritual will sweeping in, transforming from nothingness to substance. The surrounding area of tens of meters was suddenly stirred up by waves of strong winds.

  Roar!

  The Blazing Python let out a deafening roar, its voice like that of a wild bull, and it shook the spiritual world of Xiao Yi. Then, with a fierce burst of energy, the python plunged into Xiao Yi's spiritual world.

  The red dragon was slightly stunned, because Xiao Yi unexpectedly didn't resist at all, and allowed his spiritual will to enter the spiritual world.

  "How dare you!"

  The red dragon let out a low growl, regardless of who won or lost, the battlefield was in each other's spiritual world, and all the aftermath would be borne by Xiao Yi.

  Vast spiritual world, five-zhang flame python roars, opens its mouth to spit out endless fierce flames, sweeping across the four directions, with a momentum of burning the prairie.

  However, in this world, a huge blue pillar slowly emerged, supporting the entire world, and the vast blue light spread out, extinguishing the raging fire of spirit.

  Ah!

  A deafening elephant trumpet sounded, and the dark green eyes of the five-zhang-long flame python flashed with cold light. Suddenly, a five-zhang-tall cyan-scaled barbaric elephant materialized not far in front. This barbaric elephant was originally sleeping in the spiritual world, but as soon as it appeared, it suddenly flipped its body and charged at the flame python with great force. In an instant, there was a loud crash of thunder, and the entire spiritual world shook.

  Buzz!

  Xiao Yi turned around, looking at the Red Dragon. The Red Dragon's expression was slightly condensed, seeing Xiao Yi's eyebrows flashing with a hint of cyan light. Then, the Flame Python's momentum reversed and shot out, returning to his back, but it looked somewhat awkward in that position.

  On the Red Dragon's body, a sense of battle gradually rose, he knew that the opponent's spiritual will had truly broken through to the peak of the ordinary realm. The reason why the Flame Python's momentum retreated was also reasonable, it was the opponent's spiritual world, although it would be impacted, but it could also exert pressure on outsiders.

  However, after a few breaths, the fierce intent on Chi Long's body dissipated again. He slowly walked to Xiao Yi's side, looked towards the Pan Lei mountain range and said in a low voice: "Did you guys notice it too?"

  Xiao Yi nodded, his eyes somewhat solemn, and said: "Now it seems that they can no longer hold back."

  Taking a deep breath, the Red Dragon turned around and looked towards the east. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he said, "In my opinion, before the great war begins, we should first eliminate any potential threats from behind!"

  "Do you believe me?" Xiao Yi asked with a light smile.

  "I didn't believe it before, but I do now."

  "Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. Although what you see may not be true all the time, still one has to see it for himself to know."

  After finishing speaking, Xiao Yi stepped forward and headed down the mountain. The red dragon looked at his back, seemingly deep in thought, and then revealed a hint of a smile.

  Ministry of War

  After being rebuilt, it became even more solid, with a vaulted top cast in black iron, as black as ink, and even thicker.

  Half an hour later, apart from the clan leader Shi Zhi Xuan, two thousand-man commanders of the Stone Tiger Army, Xiao Yi and Chi Long, as well as twenty hundred-man commanders also arrived.

  Half a day later, Chi Long came out of the Ministry of War, hundreds of Huo Shan people did not stay, and they left in a hurry.

  Ouch!

  Not long after the Red Dragon people left, the war horn sounded in the Bloodstone tribe. The rolling sound of the horn echoed between heaven and earth. Many Bloodstone warriors looked up, with a hint of murderous intent in their eyes.

  This time, go take revenge, behead someone as a sacrifice!

  Rumble!

  The horn sounded, and the entire Bloodstone tribe suddenly responded with a rumbling noise. More than 2,000 warriors moved in unison, clashing steel ringing out, and in just a short moment, they all appeared outside the tribal mountain wall.

  The broken spear on his back, Xiao Yi and Shi Hu stood together at the forefront with two thousand men, but no one questioned it. The battle at dawn was seen by many people, they understood that the young man in front of them had once again made a breakthrough, advancing to the realm of Blood Refining Small Perfection, becoming a new Thousand Man Commander-level strongman in the tribe.

  Some centurions' eyes showed a strange color, this is probably the fastest promotion in the history of the Bloodstone tribe. From ordinary soldier to squad leader, centurion, and chiliarch, it took less than two years to walk through the path that most people can't finish in their lifetime, and step over the threshold that only a few people can step over in decades.
