After several months, the signs of the ten-year blizzard began to appear. Along with it, all the tribes that wished to join the Imperial Court Blessed Land contest started to move.
Joining super forces such as Hei Tribe, Liu Tribe, Ye Lui Tribe, Meng Tribe, Nuo Er Tribe, and Ma Tribe was the prevailing trend during the Imperial Court Blessed Land contest. Although there were some tribes that promoted their own banners, they were suppressed and annexed shortly afterward.
Ji Tribe arrived at Onion Valley.
Ji Guang was worried about Fang Yuan's decision to head to Onion Valley before going to the Heroes Assembly at Yu Tian. Fang Yuan did not explain the exact reason, merely telling him that they might obtain a huge wolf group if they went there.
"Supreme elder Chang Shan Yin is a rank five enslavement path expert. Without question, he has far more experience than me in these matters… but is this really true or not?… No, no, how could I dare doubt supreme elder? He was the person who led the assault on Man Tribe, Yan Tribe, Zheng Tribe, and Bei Tribe. Only because of him did my Ji Tribe become several times stronger!"
Ji Guang was conflicted internally between completely trusting Fang Yuan and thinking about the benefits they would miss if they failed to attend the Heroes Assembly at Yu Tian. But in the end, he chose to trust Chang Shan Yin.
Inside Onion Valley, Fang Yuan took out wolf cave Gu from his aperture. A blinding light spread through the valley for a moment before vanishing, revealing an enormous wolf group.
There were numerous Myriad beast kings, a night wolf emperor, a wind wolf emperor, and a crimson flame wolf emperor. A massive group of mutated beasts composed of white-eyed wolves, shark fin wolves, and many others.
This group was enormous, consisting of six hundred thousand wolves and three wolf emperors!. Without question, Fang Yuan had now become the number one enslavement path Gu Master in Northern Plains.
However, his expression did not change in the slightest. Instead, he ordered the wolf group to leave the valley while he rode atop the wind wolf emperor. When Fang Yuan emerged from Onion Valley, Ji Guang and the Ji Tribe elders were anxiously discussing matters.
When the wolf group appeared, their hearts nearly leapt out before they were struck with shock and then joy.
"Supreme elder, this is too much!.. Three wolf emperors!.. Ah, aren't there too many mutated wolves?!"
"Hundreds of thousands of wolves!.. Longevity Heaven, is this the glory of our Ji Tribe?!"
"Lord Chang Shan Yin truly is the lucky star of our tribe!"
The elders shouted joyfully, and when Fang Yuan approached atop the wolf emperor, they felt immense pressure. However, Ji Guang stepped forward with a sincere smile and bowed, causing the expressions of the other elders to change.
"Supreme elder Chang Shan Yin, please give us your orders!"
Fang Yuan looked at Ji Guang and the other elders before saying, "The Imperial Court Blessed Land contest is not merely an opportunity for glory and fame, it is also a chance for us to meet the great experts of Northern Plains and seek revenge… let us head to Yu Tian!"
The Ji Tribe elders cheered with excitement and impatience as they scattered, urging the tribe to move quickly.
The evening sky was azure and clear, while the land resembled a sea of green jade. This was Yu Tian, the most famous and fertile pasture in Northern Plains, as well as the region of the Yu Tian Heroes Assembly.
The competition had already been ongoing for more than half a month between Liu Tribe's faction and Hei Tribe's faction. Both sides were led respectively by Liu Wen Wu and Hei Lou Lan.
A battle was taking place between their subordinates in the center of the two factions. Water Demon Hao Ji Liu was fighting against one of the rank four leaders of a small tribe from Liu Tribe's side. The battle was astonishing, with Water Demon firmly holding the upper hand and forcing the tribe leader into retreat.
Hei Lou Lan laughed loudly, and with his bear-like appearance, the sight was rather unpleasant.
"Hahaha!.. Liu Wen Wu, you've already lost several times in a row, yet you still won't surrender?!"
Liu Wen Wu shook his head calmly. "Hei Lou Lan, I merely lost a few battles, so what of it?… The result has not been decided yet. These defeats may simply be paving the way for victory, hahaha… unlike you, I know how to endure and restrain my emotions, hahaha." Liu Wen Wu laughed, and the men behind him laughed as well.
Hei Lou Lan's expression darkened as he watched Water Demon retreat from the battle. The unknown tribe leader seized the initiative, and after a few moves, his arm pierced through Water Demon's chest.
Liu Wen Wu's faction burst into laughter while Hei Lou Lan's side frowned.
"What?!"
The tribe leader's expression changed when Hao Ji Liu's body transformed into a pile of water and collapsed. He wanted to turn around, but the moment he tried moving his head, he heard the sound of splashing water.
The tribe leader's body shattered into pieces while Hao Ji Liu emerged from a small puddle behind him.
"Hahahaha… this water image Gu is truly wonderful. Hao Ji Liu, come, come and drink this cup of wine!" Hei Lou Lan roared with laughter while gesturing toward Hao Ji Liu with a wine cup.
Liu Wen Wu's expression turned solemn as he reevaluated Water Demon Hao Ji Liu.
Awooo!
Awooo!
Awooo!
The howls of wolf emperors rose into the sky, savage, cold, and incomparably desolate. Following the howls of the beast emperors came the howls of hundreds of thousands of wolves.
Hei Lou Lan and Liu Wen Wu both shivered when tens of thousands of wolves appeared from behind a hill. Then even more wolves appeared, increasing from tens of thousands into hundreds of thousands. It resembled a sea, or a tidal wave of wolves drowning the green pastures.
The wolf howls covered heaven and earth as wolves flooded in from every direction.
"Wind wolves, crimson flame wolves, night wolves, water wolves, and turtleback wolves!.. Ah, there are so many mutated beasts among them, along with ten-thousand beast kings!.. Isn't that a wind wolf emperor he's riding?!"
Everyone turned their heads when someone pointed toward the wind wolf emperor and the man seated atop it.
"Ah, it's not only a wind wolf emperor, there's also a night wolf emperor and a crimson flame wolf emperor!" someone shouted after spotting the clear figures of the crimson flame wolf emperor and the night wolf emperor.
The Gu Masters gathered around Hei Lou Lan and Liu Wen Wu in formation, prepared for battle. However, they soon saw a group of people moving beneath the wolves' protection. Agricultural Gu worms and fat black-skinned beetles carried enormous amounts of resources, while lizard house Gu dragged themselves forward heavily. One of them carried a massive banner with the character "Ji" written upon it.
"This is Ji Tribe?.. Then that person is Chang Shan Yin?"
"Didn't Chang Shan Yin fight four or five tribes in a short period of time? How did his wolf group grow to such an extent, surpassing even Ma Zun, Jiang Bao Ya, and Yang Po Ying?!"
Everyone was filled with questions, but under the oppressive atmosphere imposed by Fang Yuan, they could only feel nervous as he approached atop the wind wolf emperor.
Under Liu Wen Wu's gaze, Fang Yuan headed directly toward Hei Lou Lan. Liu Wen Wu's heart sank when he saw this. The story of Chang Tribe scheming against Chang Shan Yin had already been spread by Ji Tribe. It was obvious that Chang Shan Yin leaned toward Hei Lou Lan's faction.
Fang Yuan withdrew his gaze from the crowd and looked at Hei Lou Lan. His eyes deepened as he spoke in a calm tone, yet his voice echoed throughout the surroundings.
"The reason for my return is revenge, and by coincidence, the Imperial Court contest is taking place. This allows me to meet many great experts and all the heroes of our Northern Plains. Brother Hei Lou Lan, why don't we form an alliance?"
Hei Lou Lan's pupils contracted as he stood up happily and walked toward Fang Yuan, grabbing his shoulders while laughing.
"To obtain the help of Wolf King is my greatest honor!"
Hei Lou Lan stretched out his hands and gestured toward Fang Yuan.
"Hahaha, brother Chang Shan Yin, come here and drink wine!"
The people of Hei Tribe erupted into cheers while the hearts of Liu Wen Wu and his faction sank heavily.
