The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 1050: Dust Settles

Xing Kong instinctively turned his gaze towards Jing Yan, who merely smiled, clearly not wanting to intervene in the alliance between the Heavenly Origin Tribe and the Yushu Tribe. The decision, if needed, required Xing Kong to make his own judgment.

Some thoughts quickly raced through Xing Kong’s mind. He guessed Wang Chunlin’s intention, but at the moment, for the Heavenly Origin Tribe, forming an alliance with the Yushu Tribe was undoubtedly a great opportunity.

The Heavenly Origin Tribe currently has only a few hundred members—a very small number. Once they acquire a large amount of Cultivation Resources, their strength will surely increase rapidly.

Without considering for too long, Xing Kong nodded in agreement. Seeing Xing Kong agree to the alliance between the two tribes, Wang Chunlin seemed even more excited than Xing Kong.

Following that, both sides briefly negotiated the alliance, agreeing that within a few days, each would send core members to settle the ore veins resources controlled by both parties. Although these matters seemed complex, as long as execution went smoothly, they weren’t really difficult to accomplish.

After roughly finalizing the terms, Wang Chunlin bid farewell, taking the elders of the Yushu Tribe with him. Before leaving, Wang Chunlin didn’t forget to pay respects to Jing Yan once more. The reverence the Yushu Tribe held for Jing Yan ran deep in their bones. Therefore, in allying with the Heavenly Origin Tribe, they dared not trick or bully the weaker tribe.

Within the Yushu Tribe, Wang Chunlin and his group returned.

"Leader, why are we forming an alliance with the Heavenly Origin Tribe? Moreover, we are giving away such a large benefit, allowing the Heavenly Origin Tribe to reap it effortlessly," Not all elders could understand Wang Chunlin’s intention.

"What do you think of Lord Jing Yan’s power?" Wang Chunlin casually glanced at the many elders in front of him.

"Lord Jing Yan’s cultivation is extremely terrifying. Although I am at the Seven Stars Void God Realm, I feel completely powerless before Lord Jing Yan." The white-robed elder at the Seven Stars Void God Realm spoke with a horrified expression.

Other people nodded in agreement.

"If it were only the Heavenly Origin Tribe, it indeed wouldn’t be worth mentioning; Leader Xing Kong is only a Five-star Void God. But the Heavenly Origin Tribe is backed by Lord Jing Yan. In allying with the Heavenly Origin Tribe, we are binding the Yushu Tribe together with them. Since Lord Jing Yan is the patron of the Heavenly Origin Tribe, he naturally becomes our Yushu Tribe’s patron as well. Temporarily losing some benefits is nothing; what we gain in the future will be much more." Wang Chunlin explained.

After hearing Wang Chunlin, some elders remained skeptical.

Wang Chunlin’s eyes shimmered as he continued, "I can see that many of you feel disadvantaged. But what if I tell you that Lord Jing Yan possesses combat power at the Nine-star Void God level?"

Wang Chunlin’s words seemed calm but were a bolt from the blue to everyone listening.

Nine-star Void God?

Moreover, an important member of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

Rumor has it that Lord Jing Yan is very young, definitely under five thousand years old, otherwise he wouldn’t appear on the Tianhua List.

Leader Wang Chunlin’s words were hard to believe, yet none doubted him. Within the Yushu Tribe, there are three Seven-star Void Gods, but even among them, Wang Chunlin doesn’t possess the highest strength. Yet, why did Wang Chunlin become the tribe’s leader? It’s because Wang Chunlin possesses a special talent, his judgment of other martial artists’ combat power is exceptionally precise and sharp.

"Let me ask you, of all the ore veins we control in the Yushu Tribe, how much of the resources do we pay tribute to the Black Water Tribe?" Wang Chunlin lightly chuckled as he saw everyone remain silent.

"Eighty percent!" an elder instinctively replied.

The Black Water Tribe is a much stronger tribe than the Yushu Tribe. Although the Black Water Tribe’s main base is not in this barren land, its influence covers this desolate area. Therefore, the Yushu Tribe was always under the fangs of the Black Water Tribe. To maintain peace, the Yushu Tribe had to dutifully offer eighty percent of its benefits to the Black Water Tribe.

"Just wait, maybe soon, we won’t have to tribute the Black Water Tribe anymore. Isn’t the Black Water Tribe connected to the Luo Jiu Divine Palace? Now, we also have deep ties with the Luo Jiu Divine Palace." Wang Chunlin didn’t elaborate, but the meaning was clear. Those present were not fools and naturally understood.

...

"What?"

"The Yushu Tribe not only failed to eliminate the Heavenly Origin Tribe but even allied with them?" freewebnøvel_com

"How is this possible!"

"Impossible, it must be false news. A Yushu Tribe elder was killed, taking such a huge loss; how could they not seek revenge and instead form an alliance with the Heavenly Origin Tribe?"

"Ha, Leader Wang Chunlin isn’t someone who’s easily swayed."

"What? The news is confirmed, the two tribes really allied?"

"This... is too outrageous, isn’t it?"

The news of the alliance between the Heavenly Origin Tribe and the Yushu Tribe spread rapidly across this barren land, leaving everyone dumbfounded. To them, it was simply fantastical.

However, after the initial disbelief, some smart people discerned the hidden gist. They speculated that the Yushu Tribe’s restraint was likely related to the help from Jing Yan of the Heavenly Origin Tribe.

No matter what, the turbulent atmosphere of this barren land gradually subsided. Some restive forces also quieted down.

One must admit, their senses were sharp. The only possible rationale for the alliance between the Yushu Tribe and the Heavenly Origin Tribe was Jing Yan. In other words, Jing Yan’s power might be immense, or he might have a background that even the Yushu Tribe dared not provoke. In either case, with the alliance now forming between the Yushu Tribe and the Heavenly Origin Tribe, the combined strength of these two tribes significantly increased, becoming even less to be trifled with.

Since they cannot afford to provoke them, the wisest course is to maintain the current state of affairs.

...

Outside the Heavenly Origin Tribe’s gates.

"Leader Xing Kong, no need to see us off." Jing Yan cupped his hands to Xing Kong, "If the tribe has any trouble, feel free to send me a message."

"Leader Xing Kong, we’ll take our leave now." Bi Fang also smiled, cupping his hands.

"Brothers, see you again someday." Xing Kong didn’t use fancy words; gratitude was best kept in one’s heart.

After bidding farewell to those in the Heavenly Origin Tribe, Jing Yan and Bi Fang boarded the Spiritual Ship and returned to Luojiu City, to Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

In less than ten days, they entered the Luo Jiu Divine Palace. Bi Fang returned to the Jade Bay Medicine Field, while Jing Yan returned to the Third Palace Qingmu Department.

Shortly after Jing Yan entered the Green Wood Bureau Manor, Director Chunjin hurriedly came to see him.

"Jing Yan, you’re finally back. The Assessment Department has sent word." Upon seeing Jing Yan, Chunjin immediately spoke.

Jing Yan’s eyes slightly narrowed.

He had been waiting for information from the Assessment Department.
