Chapter 395: Chapter 245 Knock

Since he returned to the Human World, Li Qian decided to make a trip to the Barbaric Land.

It’s been a hundred years since the last time he visited the Barbaric Land.

His agreement with that Longevity Level otherworldly being was to receive ten Divine Aperture Treasure Opening Techniques of the Divine Firmament Sword Scripture every hundred years.

There’s no way they’d deliver it to him voluntarily.

He had to seek them out himself.

Moreover, with over a hundred years gone by, who knows how things have changed in the Cloud Dragon Desolate City?

Thus, he left the Divine Sword Sect and flew towards the Barbaric Land.

As his Cultivation Realm advanced, the suppression he felt became even stronger once he left the Chen Bell Domain.

No wonder that otherworldly being trapped him within the Longevity Plate.

With Li Qian’s current speed, it didn’t take him even a day to arrive at the Cloud Dragon Desolate City.

A massive giant beast was entrenched outside the imperial city.

It was the Wild Wolf Giant Beast of the Azure Wolf Tribe. Compared to a hundred years ago, it had grown significantly, clearly having enhanced its strength over the years.

The arrival of Li Qian was met with a warm reception from both Chi Yue Venerable Sage and Fu Ling.

Fu Ling no longer showed any monk-like demeanor, appearing almost like he was born of the Barbarian Clan.

Since Li Qian supported the rise of the Azure Wolf Tribe to become the overlord of the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory, it rapidly developed, lifting its tribal strength to a higher level within just a few decades.

However, as time went on... the powerful tribes of the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory began showing signs of restlessness.

There was a sense of them listening to orders but not truly obeying them.

Tributes became less and less frequent each year.

The main reason is that Li Qian, the Human Clan powerhouse from the Longevity Secret Realm, has not appeared for so many years, causing his deterrent influence to gradually decline.

"Daoist Chi Yue, issue the Cloud Dragon Order to summon all the tribes...."

Li Qian said.

"Understood."

Chi Yue Venerable Sage understood that Li Qian’s actions weren’t just aimed at deterring the Barbarian Tribe of the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory, so she didn’t question and agreed immediately.

With the issuance of the Cloud Dragon Order, it didn’t even take a month for the numerous Barbarian Tribes of the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory to converge on the Cloud Dragon Desolate City.

All these Barbarian Tribes were uneasy and apprehensive.

They thought that the Human Clan powerhouse hadn’t shown up for over a hundred years, and without the strong backing of the Azure Wolf Tribe, they might have a chance to make a move?

Over the years, many Barbarian Tribes privately allied, intending to dethrone the Azure Wolf Tribe from its position as the overlord of the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory.

But now, that Human Longevity Realm powerhouse had reappeared.

Thinking about their private endeavors over the years, they were anxious and uneasy, worried about retribution.

Yet they dared not refuse to attend.

Under the Cloud Dragon Order, not attending would be considered rebellion, which would lead to an assault by all the Barbarian Tribes of the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory.

Inside a Great Hall.

Numerous Barbarian Tribe leaders gathered.

Li Qian sat at the main position and said indifferently: "I’ve heard some are dissatisfied with my support of the Azure Wolf Tribe as the overlord of the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory?"

The leaders of several powerful Barbarian Tribes present were immediately scared stiff.

When Li Qian’s gaze fell upon the leader of a Barbarian Tribe, the person quickly knelt, "Spare us, my lord, the Golden Lion Tribe is willing to offer three million Primordial Stones, ten sets of attribute essence, five Wild Beast Crystals, and numerous cultivation resources in exchange for past transgressions against you."

"If there’s a next time, there will be no need for your Golden Lion Tribe to exist."

Li Qian stated calmly.

The resources offered by the Golden Lion Tribe were of considerable value, not particularly useful to him, but they would be of use to his disciples and followers.

"Thank you, my lord, for your leniency."

The Golden Lion Tribe leader rejoiced and quickly expressed gratitude.

Following that, pressured by circumstances, one Barbarian Tribe leader after another generously offered their treasures.

Thus, after some pressure, Li Qian profited greatly, and the Azure Wolf Tribe once again solidified its position as the overlord of the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory, ensuring stability for at least the next hundred years.

Should any issues arise, that would be even better, as he could take the opportunity to harvest another round.

"Do any of you know the whereabouts of the Cloud Dragon Tribe? If anyone can provide valuable intelligence, I wouldn’t hesitate to reward you."

After resolving the Azure Wolf Tribe’s issues, Li Qian began to deal with his own matters.

The Barbaric Land was vast.

Communication and travel weren’t very convenient, making relations between the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory and other Barbarian Tribe regions not so easily maintained.

Thus, to find the whereabouts of the Cloud Dragon Tribe, he hoped to rely on the other Barbarian Tribes.

Because the Cloud Dragon Tribe... probably still had connections with other Barbarian Tribes within the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory.

The Cloud Dragon Tribe had been the overlord of the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory for so long, those connections couldn’t simply disappear abruptly.

They might very well be plotting a return to the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory.

After all, there was still that otherworldly being behind the Cloud Dragon Tribe.

As long as that otherworldly being remained in the Barbaric Land, it was a hidden threat.

Therefore, he contemplated finding the otherworldly being this time, intending to probe once more. If he could resolve it, all the better.

After all, he wanted to acquire the complete Divine Firmament Sword Scripture.

And the real secrets held by that otherworldly being.

"My lord... I might know a little bit."

The previously first-subdued Golden Lion Tribe leader quickly interjected.

Several other Tribe leaders intending to offer information saw him speaking first and rued their missed opportunity.

"Speak."

Li Qian nodded.

"Reporting to my lord, it’s rumored that the Cloud Dragon Tribe has defeated the mightiest tribes of the Xuanhuang Realm, the Xuanwu Tribe and Yellow Wind Tribe, becoming the overlord of the Xuanhuang Realm."
