Chapter 4459: The Response of the Chahar Tribe

Chapter 4457: The Chahar Tribe's Response

He thought of something and said, "Elder Yuwei, it's quite unusual that the Chahar Tribe only sent two twice-mutated Nine-Colored Chaos Beasts to support the Jinlong Tribe!"

"It's not unusual at all," said Nan Gong Yuwei. "The leader of the Hada Tribe falsely reported a military situation, claiming that the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple were leading an attack on the Hada Tribe. The Chahar Tribe took this very seriously and dispatched six Nine-Colored Chaos Beasts to assist the Hada Tribe, including one that had mutated three times. All of them were destroyed by the Wang family, and the Azure Lotus Sword Sovereign and the Myriad Wood Immortal Lord have both cultivated immortal bodies."

Over the years, the Wang family has acquired many valuable items by trading high-grade Chaos Armor and high-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons. The Nan Gong Immortal Clan is well aware of this and doesn't oppose the Wang family's actions, though they prohibit the Wang family from selling large quantities of high-grade Chaos Armor to other forces, only allowing them to sell extensively to the Nan Gong Immortal Clan itself.

Even without the Nan Gong Immortal Clan's explicit instruction, the Wang family wouldn't sell large quantities of high-grade Chaos Armor to other forces. Apart from the Nan Gong Immortal Clan, it's not easy for other forces to purchase high-grade Chaos Armor in bulk; those with the capability would buy directly from the Kunlun Dao Ancestor.

High-level strategic resources like high-grade Chaos Armor, high-grade Immortal-Slaying Arrows, and high-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons are not exclusively sold by the Wang family. The Myriad Treasures Sect, the Kunlun Dao Ancestor, and the Myriad Immortals Business Alliance also sell them. While ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortals might not be able to afford them, a single clan or force can usually gather enough resources to purchase one piece of high-grade Chaos Armor. Smaller forces seeking high-level cultivation resources, even if they can't afford them, can trade rare cultivation resources for them. This is also a method for major forces to accumulate resources.

"They sent six Nine-Colored Chaos Beasts to support the Hada Tribe? And one was a thrice-mutated Nine-Colored Chaos Beast? How did they manage to destroy a thrice-mutated Nine-Colored Chaos Beast? Did the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple arrive in the end?" Nan Gong Yunxin's face was full of confusion. A thrice-mutated Nine-Colored Chaos Beast is incredibly powerful. Even if Wang Qingshan and Wang Qingbai had cultivated immortal bodies, it wouldn't be that easy to kill, would it?

"The Azure Lotus Immortal Couple did not arrive," Nan Gong Yuwei said slowly. "According to Young Friend Wang's report, he used a secret talisman crafted by Fairy Tianqin and exerted great effort to destroy the thrice-mutated Nine-Colored Chaos Beast. Their losses were also significant; seven immortal puppets from the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage were destroyed. Coincidentally, Miaode from the Myriad Buddhas Sect was also there, and he used the Minor Six-Syllable Incantation, which significantly helped them. The Zhalanding Tribe did not receive support from the Chahar Tribe, and five Chaos Beasts from the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage were destroyed by the Ye family."

"A secret talisman! What kind of secret talisman possesses such immense power?" Nan Gong Yunxin exclaimed in surprise, thinking that if they could acquire a few more such talismans, dealing with thrice-mutated Nine-Colored Chaos Beasts would be much easier in the future.

"It's said to be a secret talisman crafted by Immortal Lord Yufu, which the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple obtained in an ancient battlefield," Nan Gong Yuwei explained. Immortal Lord Yufu was a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, proficient in the art of talismans. He hadn't appeared for tens of millions of years, and the talismans he crafted were exceptionally powerful, earning him great renown.

Nan Gong Yunxin realized, saying enviously, "They're incredibly lucky! To actually obtain a secret talisman crafted by Immortal Lord Yufu." Rumors claimed that Immortal Lord Yufu died in an ancient battlefield, while other reports suggested he perished at the hands of a King Beast. Some even believed he was struck down by a lightning tribulation while attempting to ascend to Dao Ancestor. There were many conflicting theories, but none could be confirmed. Given the immense power of talismans crafted by Immortal Lord Yufu, Wang Qingshan's account seemed plausible enough.

"It might not necessarily be a secret talisman," Nan Gong Yuwei said. "It could be some powerful treasure. Immortal Lord Taihao is proficient in artifact refining, so it wouldn't be strange for him to incorporate a Primordial Spirit Treasure into a high-grade immortal artifact, or perhaps it was a one-time use treasure, like a Nine-Colored Thunder Pearl." She didn't particularly care how Wang Qingshan and the others destroyed the thrice-mutated Nine-Colored Chaos Beast. The stronger the Wang family became, the easier it would be for the Nan Gong Immortal Clan to deal with the Chahar Tribe. The better the Wang family developed, the happier the Nan Gong Immortal Clan would be.

Nan Gong Yunxin nodded, saying, "That's true. Elder Yuwei, please send reinforcements as soon as possible! The Chahar Tribe has lost eight clan members at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage and one thrice-mutated member. Their losses are significant, and they won't let this go easily."

"Reinforcements are already en route and will arrive soon," Nan Gong Yuwei said with confidence. "This time, our Nan Gong Immortal Clan is going to engage in an all-out war with the Chahar Tribe. My only fear is that the Chahar Tribe won't accept the challenge. You still need to be cautious and strengthen your defenses." Nan Gong Changqing had already ascended to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage. As long as the Chahar Tribe dared to accept the challenge, it would play directly into the Nan Gong Immortal Clan's hands.

"Yes, Elder Yuwei," Nan Gong Yunxin agreed and put away his immortal transmission mirror.

***

In the Chahar Mountain Range, at Chahar City, within a hidden underground cave, runes flickered on the stone walls.

Qu was reporting to Yu that the Chahar Tribe's losses were immense. Three tribes had been wiped out, leaving only six. The Chahar Tribe alone had lost eight clan members at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, and even one member who had evolved three times. The losses were truly staggering. It's not easy for Chaos Beasts to evolve. Most only evolve twice. Those that can evolve three times are considered the elite of the major tribes. If one could evolve four times, it would be the tribe's future successor.

"What? Even the thrice-evolved clan member was killed? Do you know how they were killed?" Yu's voice was heavy; the unknown was the most terrifying.

"There were no survivors, so it's currently unclear," Qu reported. "Perhaps the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple made a move. Even a thrice-evolved clan member was no match and couldn't escape. The Wang family is becoming increasingly difficult to handle, and the Nan Gong Immortal Clan is not to be trifled with either; three of their members have actually cultivated immortal bodies. If a few Golden Immortal-stage clan members hadn't escaped during the chaos, we wouldn't even know this information."

Yu speculated, "The Nan Gong Immortal Clan sending three Grand Unity Golden Immortals who have cultivated immortal bodies to lead implies that they have far more than just three such members. It's possible that Nan Gong Yueshuo has cultivated an immortal body, or perhaps Nan Gong Dezhi obtained some powerful treasure and wants to test its might against our Chahar Tribe."

The Chahar Tribe is now in a difficult position. Tens of thousands of years ago, they lost a Grand Luo Golden Immortal in their search for the Taiyi Creation Gourd, and now they've lost another eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Their losses are significant. If they do nothing, the Nan Gong Immortal Clan will surely expand their gains and continue to target the Chahar Tribe. If they accept the challenge, the Chahar Tribe might very well fall into a Nan Gong Immortal Clan ambush, leaving them in a dilemma.

"Since the Nan Gong Immortal Clan wants to fight, we'll accept their challenge. Otherwise, they'll underestimate us and think we're easy targets," a grim voice rang out. Fu flew in. It had already ascended to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage. The power of the lightning tribulation had been too strong, and it had been recovering from its injuries.

"Fu, you've recovered?" Yu exclaimed in surprise.

"I've mostly recovered," Fu suggested. "Fighting a Grand Luo Golden Immortal won't be an issue. The Nan Gong Immortal Clan has already made their move, and we can't just passively take a beating. Contact the other major tribes and see if they can provide support. As the saying goes, 'when the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold.' If we are wiped out by the Nan Gong Immortal Clan, they won't fare well either. Exaggerate the Nan Gong Immortal Clan's strength a bit." It wouldn't dare to falsely report military intelligence; the Hunxie Royal Tribe wouldn't easily let the Chahar Tribe off the hook. Currently, the Golden Insect Royal Tribe and Sky Witch City are locked in an intense battle. The chances of the Hunxie Royal Tribe engaging in an all-out war with Kunlun Immortal City are low. The Chahar Tribe also has allies; getting a few more helpers would ease the pressure.

"That's all we can do," Yu said. "I hope the war between the Golden Insect Royal Tribe and Sky Witch City ends soon. People from the Hunxie Royal Tribe contacted us not long ago, telling us to prepare, as we might need to support the Golden Insect Royal Tribe. It's still unclear what valuable items are in Sky Witch City's territory. If it's truly the item Lord Teng is looking for, then all eleven major tribes will have to go and support the Golden Insect Royal Tribe." It must be said that the Nan Gong Immortal Clan knows how to pick their moments for war. The Hunxie Royal Tribe is already preparing to support the Golden Insect Royal Tribe, so naturally, they wouldn't want to engage in an all-out war with Kunlun Immortal City at this time.

"Yes, Lord Yu," Qu agreed and left to carry out the order.

With the Golden Insect Royal Tribe and Sky Witch City engaged in an all-out war, the attention of major powers is focused on this conflict. Some forces are taking advantage of the opportunity to launch their own campaigns, actively attacking Chaos Beasts and achieving some success.
