Free Web NovelChapter 460: Chapter 56: Shennong’s Defeat, The Inevitable Path
This great war has continued for several days, with both sides striving to kill each other.
Especially the exceptional warriors on both sides, even Can Gang has fought several times with Ting Yao.
However, Zhurong and Gonggong have not appeared; only the tribesmen from these two tribes participated in the battle.
The intentions of Gonggong and Zhurong are simple. They can join Jiu Li, and when it comes to dealing with Youxiong, they will certainly act with full force.
But if they are asked to attack Lie Mountain as soon as they join Jiu Li, they cannot do it.
Shen Fei doesn’t mind and just says that apart from those two, members of the other two tribes must join the battle.
This is also Jiu Li’s rule; without rules, there can be no order.
If today’s tribes use this reason not to join the battle against Lie Mountain Tribe, then they could use other reasons in the future not to participate in Jiu Li’s battles.
Then what is the point of them surrendering?
"Indeed, there are statements from Lie Mountain’s Medicine Immortal."
On the battlefield, countless bodies were strewn, and the air was dense with blood.
Shen Fei found that the resistance of Lie Mountain was indeed beyond his imagination, even though Jiu Li had the advantage of weapons.
But it was only until now that Shen Fei saw the true power of Lie Mountain’s Medicine Immortal.
The casualties in the Lie Mountain Tribe were indeed lower than Shen Fei imagined.
But that was the extent of it.
The Jiu Li Tribe’s army primarily uses witchcraft, integrating the power of exotic beasts, and their consumption of witchcraft is far lower than Immortal Technique.
Moreover, Jiu Li’s numbers far exceed those of Lie Mountain.
Continuous wars have already caused serious damage to Lie Mountain, and even the gathered forces are not much.
The main issue is that the ruling power of Lie Mountain Tribe over its subordinates has weakened, even if Shennong summoned tribesmen from many tribes in the name of the Common Lord.
There was no former appeal, and some tribes even think Jiu Li might be the future Common Lord of the Human Race.
Especially after Zhurong Tribe and Gonggong Tribe fled to Jiu Li.
It started a trend, with tribes gradually pledging allegiance to Jiu Li.
Making Lie Mountain’s battle-worn soldiers fewer and fewer, if not for Shennong accelerating the initiation of the final battle.
If time continues to drag on, the siphoning demonstrated by Jiu Li will crazily weaken Lie Mountain’s power.
This is an inevitably declining tribe; after all, following the strong is the nature of the Great Wilderness.
Though Jiu Li was previously derided as barbarians, because of Chi You’s title as ’Lord of War,’ many have recognized them.
Furthermore, knowing that Jiu Li is not as violent as previously thought but rather orderly.
Even powerful sorcerers must shine for the construction of the tribe.
Naturally, it attracts more people.
This war is about consuming strength and foundation, and in this aspect, Lie Mountain has long been inferior to Jiu Li.
"It seems this is nearly over!"
Shen Fei exhaled. As long as Lie Mountain is annexed, dealing with Youxiong afterward will be much simpler.
He actually estimated that previously Yan and Huang Alliance, in their initial battle with Jiu Li.
Lost more than won, only continuous wars significantly consumed Jiu Li Tribe’s living forces.
Also, previously Jiu Li was proficient in war but not in medicine, coupled with its notorious brutality.
They simply could not get more tribes to join.
But with Youxiong and Lie Mountain joining, some tribes willingly pledged allegiance.
Plus, with Lie Mountain’s Medicine Immortal, they don’t fear Jiu Li in a war of attrition.
Thus.
Yan and Huang Alliance ultimately defeated Jiu Li, and Xuanyuan became the reason for being the Common Lord.
When Shen Fei thought about how to win over Youxiong, he knew it must be with strength and reputation.
Enhance strength, change reputation.
It’s crucial for Jiu Li to defeat Youxiong, and now, as long as Lie Mountain is annexed, a major portion of the plan is completed.
And Shen Fei’s third mission is also about to be completed.
"Looks like many from Youxiong Tribe will fail their missions now."
Shen Fei shook his head.
Surely, some professionals came with tasks to promote the formation of Yan and Huang Alliance, whether from Youxiong or Lie Mountain.
Some who thought they could sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor may fail this time.
This is why when Shen Fei knew Youxiong didn’t plan to annex Lie Mountain first but directly attacked their Jiu Li.
Shen Fei knew the Heavenly Pride Club had used some method to influence Xuanyuan.
"Without Yan and Huang Alliance, still wish to contend with me?"
Shen Fei shook his head, but even if they realized it, the first confrontation between the two sides was during Lie Mountain’s allegiance.
They would surely lag behind Jiu Li, knowing Shen Fei still developed Jiu Li for a while before they could confront Lie Mountain.
Previously, among the three major tribes, Lie Mountain was stronger than Youxiong.
Xuanyuan could only rely on his successor status and Holy Virtue to absorb other tribes.
Couldn’t directly annex Lie Mountain like Jiu Li did.
However, using violent tactics alone would make it difficult to shed the brutal reputation of Jiu Li.
Ultimately, Lie Mountain would join Jiu Li.
Now, with various methods, it’s also to prevent Shennong from directly joining Youxiong.
Soon.
Suddenly, Stabbing Immortal’s voice sounded in Shen Fei’s ear, "Master, the battle far above has ended."
Nowadays, Tier Nine Stabbing Immortal, even when hiding in a very stable space within the Great Wilderness, swims like a fish in water.
Other people approaching Duan Xiu and Shennong’s battle might be easily injured by the aftermath, but Stabbing Immortal wouldn’t.
Just can’t get too close.
At least Shen Fei knows roughly the battle situation, which also gives him initial insights into the True Immortal’s battle.
Only to say.
Stabbing Immortal didn’t understand either.
Indeed, it was overwhelming in momentum.
But whether Shennong’s Immortal Technique, or Duan Xiu’s Witchcraft, puzzled Stabbing Immortal.
However, Stabbing Immortal said, though both sides seem balanced, Shennong’s aura is weakening.
"It seems that the Soulbreaking Aconite’s effect on Shennong is significant, even difficult to sustain against a same-tier opponent."
Shen Fei shook his head.
Two figures simultaneously appeared above the battlefield, no explanation needed.
Anyone above Nascent Soul could sense who won or lost.
The aura on Shennong’s body had already weakened to the extreme, whereas Duan Xiu appeared only slightly disheveled but without a change in aura.
"Ting Yao, make them...cough cough, ceasefire."
Shennong’s weak voice reached out; Ting Yao took a deep breath, his voice spreading across the battlefield.
"Lie Mountain, ceasefire!"
"Jiu Li, ceasefire!"
Shen Fei also shouted, originally engaged in combat, some retreated, but others were already blinded by madness.
Shennong could only helplessly look at Duan Xiu and said, "Please, trouble you!"
Duan Xiu casually waved, small pythons transformed into ropes pulling apart those lost in bloodlust.
Shennong looked at the bodies below, a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes; seeing this Duan Xiu spoke, "Given the circumstances, trying to reverse death for life will bring repercussions enough to lead to your demise."
"This is indeed the necessary path for the Human Race to unify."
