Chapter 1218: 849 Strong Empress Nuwa

After all, it was not possible for the Quasi-Saints of all tribes to carry only the Innate Spiritual Treasures; they also had most of their prized treasures with them. These treasures, when combined, were a terrifying resource.

However, now was not the time to discuss these matters; it was better to send off this group of experts from various tribes first.

The various tribes were not prepared for a full-scale war with the Human Race, and Jiang Chen was also unprepared to start a war with them at this moment. The reason he had killed so many was simply to warn the various tribes to stay in line during this period.

Only if the tribes remained honest and ceased their mischief could Jiang Chen focus on resolving internal issues within the Human Race. Nanbuzhan Continent was still waiting for him to unite it.

"Gentlemen, are we still fighting, or shall we leave now?" As the beneficiary, Jiang Chen felt at ease and nonchalantly asked the opponents.

"This matter ends here, Human King, please return."

If the fighting continued, the loss would be unbearable for the alliance of various tribes, so Five Elements Ancestor impatiently waved his hand at Jiang Chen, signaling him to leave quickly.

Among those present, Five Elements Ancestor was the most hopeful for this matter to end here.

He was not yet free from this quagmire, and if the tribes were to go to war with the Human Race, he would undoubtedly be the first in line and was likely to become a Saint’s cannon fodder, dying in this calamity.

Therefore, he was more reluctant to see a total war between the tribes and the Human Race than anyone else. War was acceptable, but it would have to wait until he had completely dissociated from the Five Elements Clan.

It could be said that although conflicts between the tribes and Human Race had repeatedly erupted over the years, the situation had never escalated, largely due to the great merits of Five Elements Ancestor, who mediated from between.

"Jiang Chen, you can’t leave!"

Five Elements Ancestor thought about swiftly sending Jiang Chen off, but unexpectedly, someone disagreed just as he spoke, with Thousand Hands Ancestor shouting from the side:

"Jiang Chen, you can go, but you must release the friends from various tribes that you’ve captured inside the Duotian Shenfan, otherwise, think not of leaving this place."

Up to now, this group of Quasi-Saints from various tribes had realized that the nine Quasi-Saints Jiang Chen killed were not dead yet—at least for now. They were just captured inside the Duotian Shenfan.

If Jiang Chen was willing to release them now, they would at most be greatly weakened and would not be fundamentally harmed, nor would their lives be endangered.

Of course, if some more time passed, it would be another story. Once the Duotian Shenfan completely devoured them, even a Saint arriving would not be able to save them.

Thus, while Jiang Chen had only just captured them in the Duotian Shenfan and had not yet assimilated them, it was time to let them go. Also, that would mean that the alliance of various tribes did not suffer any real losses today but merely lost some dignity.

Compared to the lives of nine Quasi-Saints, losing some face really wasn’t much.

"Release them?"

"My friend, are you joking?"

"Do you really believe you can take back what has already ended up in my hands? Or do you perhaps think they are too lonely inside the Duotian Shenfan and you want to join them?"

Jiang Chen suddenly stepped forward, raising the Duotian Shenfan in his hand towards Thousand Hands Ancestor with an almost immediate readiness to strike.

"Afraid of you?"

Looking at the Duotian Shenfan in Jiang Chen’s hand, Thousand Hands Ancestor, though somewhat intimidated, gained confidence thinking of his many companions around him and responded with a defiant tone.

"Yes, quickly release them!"

"Only if you release those nine friends, today’s matter will be considered concluded."

Following Thousand Hands Ancestor, Thousand Eyes Ancestor also stepped forward and spoke.

"That’s right, what the two friends said is correct."

"Hurry and release them, otherwise, we of the various tribes will not tolerate this great disgrace today and let it rest."

Soon after these two voiced their demands, many Quasi-Saints of various tribes echoed their support.

Truth be told, the loss of nine Quasi-Saints was too significant; one might say that, from the founding of the alliance of the various tribes, this was the first time such a loss had occurred.

Therefore, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they were not willing to easily give up and were determined to try every means to recover this loss.

"Thousand Hands Ancestor and Thousand Eyes Ancestor, is it?"

Jiang Chen didn’t speak but silently remembered the first two who had spoken, Thousand Hands Ancestor and Thousand Eyes Ancestor.

Both of these individuals, one born with three thousand arms and the other with three thousand eyes, were top-tier Innate Saints. Moreover, the reason they were so arrogant and dared to threaten Jiang Chen was that they each had powerful backers.

Behind Thousand Hands Ancestor stood the two Saints of the west. Behind Thousand Eyes Ancestor stood the Demon Sect. These two tribes were inherently antagonistic forces, yet they had united because of the Human Race, which was truly poignant.

Though called various tribes, the complexities behind these forces were indeed dizzying, involving not only Saints but also the Demon Sect and even leading to the claim that many of the tribes within the various tribes were supported by the Primordial three tribes—which Jiang Chen could believe.

It wouldn’t surprise him if there were informants from the Ancient demon clan and spies from the Witch Clan among them.

This was the main reason the various tribes could not be exterminated: too many powerful forces involved. To provoke one was to provoke all, and a careless move could lead to chaos in the Prehistoric World, and thus they were untouchable.

"I recall that both the Multi-Arm Race and the Multi-Eye Race once allied through marriage with our race and left behind many descendants, including the current lineages of the Three-Eyed Divine Humans and the Six-Armed Divine Humans."
