Free Web NovelChapter 2572: Chapter 2573: Power Against Power
A few days later, the disciples of the Kunshan Tribe were the first to arrive at Qingxiu Peak, and naturally, it was still the esteemed Mu Lao who led these disciples here.
However, this Mu Lao seemed to have become decades younger, transforming from a frail and aged figure into an elderly man in his sixties, with a healthy and ruddy complexion.
Clearly, he must have obtained the essence of Kunshan, which is why he appears as he does now.
Ye Luo found it rather surprising that the essence of Kunshan was even more effective than his Spiritual Liquid!
Of course, this was only in terms of increasing lifespan, as for other aspects, Ye Luo couldn’t say for sure.
"The disciples have been delivered, my task is complete. Fifth Elder, no need to see me off!"
Mu Lao laughed heartily, turned, and hurriedly went down the mountain.
This left everyone stunned, as he had just arrived with the disciples, and the people of Qingxiu Peak didn’t even have time to speak with him before he was already slipping away!
Ye Luo truly admired Mu Lao. These disciples of the Kunshan Tribe exuded an extraordinary aura, and more importantly, the defiant expressions on their faces clearly marked them as incredibly arrogant.
If these disciples were to cause a ruckus in front of Mu Lao, his fate wouldn’t be much different from that of the Grand Elder’s, would it?
Therefore, Mu Lao didn’t wait for anyone to speak; he simply left first. After all, the Clan Leader had tasked him with bringing these disciples to Qingxiu Peak; his job was completed once he got them up the mountain. Besides, his original task was to go down the mountain, leaving these disciples to cultivate in the Heart Cultivation Hall. As for when they would descend, the Clan Leader did not command!
So, he chose to go down the mountain a bit early.
"Gentlemen of the Kunshan Tribe, please follow me. I will take you to the Heart Cultivation Hall!" said the Third Master.
It seemed that these disciples had been given instructions before coming. Although their expressions were not particularly friendly, they said nothing and followed the Third Master straight to the Heart Cultivation Hall.
Of course, the resources needed to activate the Heart Cultivation Hall had already been handed over to Princess Xiu by Mu Lao.
When Ye Luo saw these resources, a look of shock appeared on his face. These resources were richer than the accumulations of many smaller tribes, and all this was just to activate the Heart Cultivation Hall once!
If the Heart Cultivation Hall is activated, one can practice inside for a month.
Of course, this month is an external time frame, while inside, it could be at least a whole year due to the relations between the passage of time and the resources available.
This time, the Kunshan Tribe used quite a hefty amount of resources, so the disciples could likely stay inside for a longer period.
"I fear that the Kunshan Tribe’s Clan Leader will soon come up the mountain as well!" Princess Xiu said with a frown.
At that moment, she was standing on the altar with Ye Luo, noting that the tribe members were no longer praying at the Martial Arena in front of the altar. In the beginning, they gathered here as they were unfamiliar with Sanskrit. Now they can pray at their dwellings.
Only, the Incense Burner on the altar continued burning, and the continuous flow of Power of Faith still gathered at the site.
According to Ye Luo’s guess, the Power of Faith collected over this period must have reached a terrifying level.
However, even Ye Luo was unsure of how to wield this Power of Faith.
During these days, Ye Luo constantly cultivated the Divine Sense Technique and the Golden Body, though he inherited it, he still felt these techniques were barely at their beginning stages.
Even the Queen hadn’t practiced these techniques to the utmost extent. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"What is meant to come, will come eventually!" Ye Luo squinted his eyes. Although Qingxiu Peak wasn’t the highest peak in the Space-Time Channel, the view from the altar was particularly good. The skies within the channel were always cloudy, but standing atop the altar seemed to negate this effect on visibility.
"But why is there still no movement from the Moonwater Tribe?" Princess Xiu said with a frown, "Could it be that they don’t take Qingxiu Peak seriously at all, or more likely, don’t take the Kunshan Tribe seriously?"
Hearing this, Ye Luo broke into laughter, "There’s no need for concern; the Moonwater Tribe is not as formidable as you think. Those two ancestors have already bet it all on the totem incarnation, but now it’s clear the Kunshan Tribe isn’t worried about the totem incarnation, so the Moonwater Tribe’s lack of anxiety is impossible!"
"Reporting to Princess Xiu, the Grand Elder of the Moonwater Tribe has come and is waiting in the reception hall!" A disciple hurried forth to report.
"What did I tell you, haven’t they come knocking?" Ye Luo chuckled.
Princess Xiu’s expression relaxed somewhat, "Let’s go, we’ll see what kind of attitude the Moonwater Tribe has!" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Therefore, the two of them descended from the altar, informing the Vice Clan Leader and Third Master among others, and proceeded together to the reception hall.
Once inside, they saw the Grand Elder along with two middle-aged men standing tensely near the great hall’s entrance, displaying visible apprehension.
In this regard, they were indeed weaker than the people of the Kunshan Tribe.
Of course, the Grand Elder truly understood Ye Luo’s and Princess Xiu’s strength and dared not act out here.
Upon seeing Princess Xiu and the others enter, the Grand Elder quickly stepped up to greet them.
"I pay respects to Princess Xiu, Vice Clan Leader, Young Master Ye..."
This Grand Elder was quite the tactician, managing to greet everyone individually.
Regardless, Princess Xiu still regarded some of the past sentiments and showed some courtesy, leading him to the center of the hall.
"Grand Elder, how have the recent days been?" Princess Xiu asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Ye Luo nearly couldn’t contain his laughter. The Moonwater Tribe was in shambles by now; those two ancestors had long abandoned the rest of the people. How could he be faring well?
"Princess Xiu jests. We are but slaves; there’s no good or bad to be said!" the Grand Elder immediately responded with a bitter smile.
However, Princess Xiu also understood that this Grand Elder must have been bound by some means employed by the two ancestors, so even if they tried to win him over, it wouldn’t yield significant results.
"Tell me, for what purpose have you come to Qingxiu Peak this time?" Princess Xiu directly inquired.
Upon hearing Princess Xiu’s words, the Grand Elder’s expression grew solemn.
"In response to the Princess, under the orders of the ancestors, Qingxiu Peak and the Moonwater Tribe are essentially one entity. Previously, the actions of the Moonwater Tribe were somewhat extreme. Now with the Kunshan Tribe acting fiercely and other tribes eyeing us like tigers watching their prey, the ancestors sent me here to persuade Qingxiu Peak to rejoin the Moonwater Tribe, standing united as before against outside threats!" the Grand Elder said.
Evidently, this remark also conveyed the intentions of the two ancestors.
However, upon hearing this, Princess Xiu and the others sneered coldly.
