Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Threatening Jin Qiongyu
In the depths of the Fire Tribe.
The Elder’s expression was grave as he said, "The Human Race Divine King is terrifyingly powerful. Now, only by using the Sacred Soldiers can we suppress and slay him. Clan Leader... I believe..."
The aged Clan Leader interrupted him. "The Sacred Soldiers are the foundation of our tribe. They must not be used unless absolutely necessary. As for the matter of the Human Race Divine King, we have no choice but to ask the Ancestor for help."
The Earth Chicken took the Ancient Bloodstone, and the Ancestor inside the coffin has awakened, albeit in a very poor state.
"A Human Race Divine King..." A deep and hoarse voice emanated from the darkness.
The Elder was shocked. This was an Ancestor of the seventh rank, on par with the Emperor Realm of the Human Clan. He was the only survivor of the Fire Tribe who had experienced that Great War. Later, after being severely injured, he was forced into deep slumber, using the Ancient Bloodstone to nourish his body. Without the Ancient Bloodstone, he had now awakened.
Huo Yu stepped out, one step at a time. Though there were no flames on his body, the intense heat was suffocating. His enchanting, flame-filled eyes seemed capable of piercing through all illusions.
He looked at the two of them and said, "The Human Race Divine King is not the focus. That chicken which took the Ancient Bloodstone is the main character. An astonishing Bloodline Power flows within it. If we could obtain it, my injuries could be healed."
"That chicken?" the Clan Leader asked in surprise. "Years ago, it intruded into our ancestral lands and was discovered at Fairy Lake. Later, our tribe’s warriors pursued it relentlessly, even cutting off its tongue to lay a curse upon it."
"The bloodline of the Ancient Phoenix." Huo Yu’s eyes widened slightly. "There’s no mistake. In today’s world, only the bloodline of a Descendant of the Ancient Phoenix can resonate with the Ancient Bloodstone."
"I’ll immediately send out strong warriors..." the Clan Leader began.
"No, I’ll handle this matter," Huo Yu interrupted. "Your task is another Human Clan practitioner."
"Who?"
"The Human Clan Demon cultivator," Huo Yu continued, his gaze burning, "the girl who has cultivated the powers of the Primitive Demon God within her. If nothing has gone amiss, she should have already obtained the eyes of the Primitive Demon God. These are the Hetero Pupil that surpass all Heavenly Eyes and possess the power to peer into and understand the Three Great Mysteries of Reincarnation."
An opportunity lay before them: to kill the Earth Chicken and merge with the power of its bloodline, and to kill Guang Xiaoyu, thereby obtaining her powerful cultivation method as well as the body of the Primitive Demon God.
Huo Yu spoke, "I will heal all my injuries and step into that realm. At that time, the Wasteland will give birth to a third Ancient Race."
Upon hearing this, both the Clan Leader and the Elder couldn’t help but become excited.
There’s an interesting aspect to the Wilderness tribe of the Wasteland, one that can be explained by a proverb from the Heaven Martial mainland: "When one person attains the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." If, within an Emperor Clan, one member breaks through to the extreme limit of their bloodline, then the Bloodline Power of the entire clan also elevates. Of course, among the countless commoners of the Wasteland, such possibilities also exist: mutations in the bloodline, sudden eruptions of Bloodline Power, or even obtaining a Great Opportunity that enhances Bloodline Power. However, ordinary enhancement can at most reach the level of a royal bloodline. Aspiring to become part of an Emperor Clan or step into the ranks of the Taigu requires far more opportunity.
"Bring that girl Jin Qiongyu up here!" Huo Yu said indifferently.
Soon, the critically injured Jin Qiongyu was brought in. Her complexion was pale, and her breathing was weak. She lifted her head and swept her gaze over those present.
When her vision settled on Huo Yu, her heart shook. This person, I’ve never seen him before. Yet his standing position is above both the Elder and the Clan Leader, and the fluctuations of his aura are terrifying. A seventh-rank Ancestor?
Jin Qiongyu made her judgment, and her heart surged with tumultuous waves.
"You received the Emperor Clan’s favor and protection, which allowed you to grow," Huo Yu looked at her. "Now, the two greatest treasures of the Emperor Clan have been stolen. Although it’s not your fault, you are connected to it. However, these are minor matters; I can overlook the past. Don’t rush to contradict."
Jin Qiongyu remained silent; she had no desire to argue at all. To the Fire Tribe, I’m just an outsider. I could never truly integrate into this race. It’s truly laughable.
Huo Yu continued, "Now, an opportunity lies before the Emperor Clan. If seized firmly, the loss of the two great treasures will not only avoid bringing disaster but might also help the Emperor Clan step into the ranks of the Taigu. This opportunity is related to you."
The Clan Leader and the Elder at the side exchanged looks, finally understanding Ancestor Huo Yu’s intentions. They would lay a trap, using Jin Qiongyu to lure in the Human Race Divine King and kill him. As long as Chen Pingping was killed, the Earth Chicken would certainly not escape. Then, the shame of the Emperor Clan’s two great treasures being stolen could be washed away, and the treasures retrieved. By acquiring the blood of the Descendant of the Ancient Phoenix, Huo Yu would recover from his injuries, enhance the limits of his Bloodline Power, and lead the Fire Tribe into the ranks of the Taigu.
After hearing Huo Yu’s request, Jin Qiongyu was incredulous. "You want me to lure the Human Race Divine King here?"
Huo Yu nodded. "Yes. You have a connection with the Human Race Divine King, which might make him lower his guard."
"I have no such connection with him," Jin Qiongyu shook her head, her face deathly pale.
"That’s your problem," Huo Yu said, his tone turning cold. "Don’t forget your family."
Family? Jin Qiongyu’s eyes widened as she stared intently at Huo Yu, the Clan Leader, and the Elder, hardly daring to believe. I’m a genius, after all! Although not of the true Fire Tribe lineage, I can’t be that worthless, can I? The Emperor Clan sentenced me on a baseless charge. For an illusory opportunity, they’re pushing me into an abyss? Threatening me with my own family? The Emperor Clan gave up on me so easily—it’s laughable that I still acknowledged this race. Even when the Elder moved against me, when everyone slandered me, I never once fought back.
Jin Qiongyu gave a hollow laugh. "You are an ancestor of the Fire Tribe, a survivor of that great war. I know you want to seize every opportunity... But have you ever thought about the future of the Fire Tribe?"
She grew more convinced of the vision she had seen: the Fire Tribe destroyed, corpses strewn everywhere, mountains collapsed, all buildings turned to ruins.
"I have no connection with the Human Race Divine King. It wasn’t me who led the Human Race Divine King into your ancestral lands, nor have I allied with him. All these accusations have been forced upon me. I understand someone needs to be blamed for this great disaster, but I never expected you would choose me." Jin Qiongyu laughed loudly, her laughter desolate.
"I am innocent.
"All of this happened because of your arrogance, your contempt for others.
"It’s ridiculous. Even now, you still think this is an opportunity, not knowing that you are personally pushing the Fire Tribe into a place of no return, into an abyss... HAHAHA..."
Jin Qiongyu’s smile was desolate.
The Elder showed anger and was about to act but was stopped by the Clan Leader. He said in a serious tone, "Xiao Yu, I never wanted you to be the scapegoat. I know that the theft of the two treasures wasn’t your fault, and... the Fire Tribe will not give up on a genius."
"You’ve been giving up on me all along." Jin Qiongyu stared at him intently. "When the Human Race Divine King broke into our ancestral lands and took the two great treasures, everyone slandered me. You, as the Clan Leader, never spoke a word in my defense because those are your people, and I am not.
"You sent strong warriors to chase and kill the Human Race Divine King, aiming to wash away the shame. But instead of defeating him, you were caught off guard. Then, you turned the blame onto me, claiming I had allied with the Human Race Divine King and set an ambush for you. From beginning to end, you never spoke up. You were condoning their actions.
"Now, you want to use my family to threaten me into luring the Human Race Divine King... HAHAHA... How laughable, truly ridiculous. I said long ago that the Fire Tribe would be destroyed because of this. You didn’t believe me then, and you don’t believe me now. So be it!" Jin Qiongyu was filled with despair, her voice trembling. "I can no longer stay with this Emperor Clan. I hope you will keep your promise and let my family live. Otherwise... I will become the Fire Tribe’s worst nightmare."
Despite knowing that threatening the Fire Tribe at this time was not wise, she had no other choice.
