Chapter 333
Leaving Beast City regardless of the previous riot, the Snowfield king rushed back to Snowfield City overnight together with his people.
Standing in a secret underground place, the Snowfield King opened his eyes wide and looked at a small open space beneath his feet. The things that should be placed here had disappeared.
Staring at the big sinkhole under his feet, the king had bloodshot eyes, looking like an angry flame cow of Red Star City. The fist hanging on the side of his body was clenched tightly. The horror and hostility coming out of him made the men behind the Snowfield king afraid to breath.
For a while, the Snowfield king gnashed his teeth. “Whoever it is, no matter how many people are involved, I want them all to die!!”
After leaving the palace, the Snowfield King issued a pursuit order: Anyone who meets the tribesmen, kill! Killing one has a reward, killing two can get you promoted! The more you kill, the more rewards you get.
At the same time, the Snowfield King was still looking for who stole the treasure. He has always looked down on the tribesmen, hence, although his men say there were traces of tribal activities, he still believed that there were certainly other people involved, such as the other two major cities or other restless small cities.
It’s not just in Snowfield City that there was an impending storm brewing. So was in Luoye City.
Shao Xuan’s group followed Su Gu back to Luoye City. As they returned to the city, he found that the defense of the city raised a level. The whole place has a solemn and restless atmosphere. After entering the city, this feeling was even more prominent. The usual arrogance of the two young masters in the city was not obvious as they kept to their own residence. Day and night, there were slaves outside the palace to guard.
When the Luoye King Su Lun returned to the city, he had called his three sons together to talk. The summary was: Now is an extraordinary period. No matter how you usually fight, this king will be in charge. Whoever you think has a better hand, you will still answer to this old man.
Su Gu and his brothers did not doubt Su Lun’s words. Su Lun really did not care about father and son relationships. On his side was a lot of beautiful women and he also has a lot of lovers in other tribes. If he really wanted to have offsprings, he would just make them again.
This was clear to the three brothers, especially Su Gu. He usually had to be on guard, and now, he still has to stay alert.
Then, after entering the city, Shao Xuan’s group returned to the tribal areas of Luoye City. Before, the other tribesmen go about, people always moving to places, but not a single one was present now. The doors and windows were closed that even a little noise was not heard.
“Did they go back early? Didn’t you say we’d leave together when everyone came back?” Lei resented. It’s bad for those people to leave when they threw their group of three away.
“No. Even if the traveling team left, there will always be someone left behind.” He frowned as he looked at the situation in front of him. His heart became more and more uneasy.
Shao Xuan looked at a man next to them and pointed to an empty house. “Where are they?”
This was a slave Su Gu left to follow them. Although his heart was repulsed of Shao Xuan’s group, to give face to Su Gu, he maintained a polite demeanor on the surface. When he heard Shao Xuan ask, he replied, “They were gone the day before yesterday.” His tone was contemptuous and angry, as if those people had done something unforgivable.
Shao Xuan didn’t care about the slave’s tone. He opened the door and went into the house that belonged to their Flaming Horns tribe. A leaf with a written word was found by the window of the room, which was tucked in through a gap in the window.
Based on the handwriting, it was left by Gui He of the Mang tribe.
Two sentences were written very briefly on it. It meant that the situation was urgent that they had to leave first. If Shao Xuan’s group came back, they should also leave quickly.
“They actually really left first!” Lei was angry.
Tuo was a lot calmer. He never expected the other tribesmen to have the same attitude as their own tribesmen.
Just as Shao Xuan looked at the leaf, Chacha from outside also shouted. It then picked up a feather.
The feather was inserted on the roof of the house where Shao Xuan was. Chacha could discern the other from the smell of the feather.
“Is it from a Hui tribe’s mountain eagle’s feather?”
Shao Xuan took the feather and found that there was also a sentencd left on the feather.
The written five [E/N: I guess it was actually four but translated was five] words were—”leave as soon as possible.”
This has been left both by the Mang tribe and the Hui tribe. No matter what happened, no matter what serious state of affairs the people were actually doing, leaving at this moment was the most important thing.
The slave that Su Gu had sent over had been excluded by Shao Xuan, so there were only three of them in the room.
When he came in, Shao Xuan found that the people in the city were very defensive of them. As they went near this house, he couldn’t tell how many eyes were staring. The reason why they hadn’t done anything now was probably because of Su Gu. It was probably difficult to leave without permission.
“Huge events may happen in this desert, which is not something we can get mixed into. You leave first.” Shao Xuan said to Lei and Tuo.
“What about you?” Tuo asked.
“I’m going to stay here for a few more days. You go first and let Chacha take you away.” Shao Xuan answered.
“That wouldn’t work. It’s too dangerous for you to stay here alone!”
Lei and Tuo were not willing. In the tribe, they understood Shao Xuan’s value in their heart. Not to mention that Shao Xuan was an elder. How could the elder stay here while the two of them run first?
Shao Xuan did not immediately answer. He lifted his sleeves, then mobilized his totem power.
The flame pattern stretched from his shoulder to his elbow, over his lean arms, then over his wrist.
Lei and Tuo showed a shocked face, their mouths open. “Ah-Xuan! You…… Did you ascend?!!”
Tuo thought about it. “You’ve been promoted before going to the Colosseum, haven’t you? No wonder I felt like you had a different momentum at that time.”
At that time, more of his attention was placed on the beast. When he had looked at the Shao Xuan, he did not pay attention to his power. Besides, at that time, Shao Xuan was wearing clothes with long sleeves, covering up to his wrists. They did not see Shao Xuan’s wrist with the totem pattern.
“Even so, with only you, it’s still too dangerous. The other tribes have come with several senior totem warriors, and they have run away. How can you stay here by yourself?” Tuo and Lei were still not at ease.
“I still need to contact Su Gu. I’ll let you leave first since you still have injuries.” Shao Xuan said.
Thinking of their own situation, Lei and Tuo were a little frustrated. “Rather than us leaving first, we could wait for you on the road. Before coming here, did we not pass a rocky area? We could rest there and still wait for you in that place.”
“Ten days,” Shao Xuan said, looking at Lei and Tuo, “If you have already waited for ten days and I still did not show up, you will leave on your own.”
Tuo and Lei still wanted to say something, but Shao Xuan stopped them. “In addition, I also plan to go to Baishi City, take advantage of the chaos over there, then look for an opportunity deal with that traitor, Dao Yu.”
With such a threat, Shao Xuan dare not rest assured to go back to the tribe.
Being familiar with the Wanshi tribe, in this upcoming storm, he was yet to know what kind of role Dao Yu would play.
“Dao Yu must die!”
Although Lei and Tuo were very reluctant, they still acted according to Shao Xuan’s arrangements.
Shao Xuan went to find Su Gu. Su Gu did not pay much attention to Lei and Tuo. Those two people could not help him any more, so he readily let his people release them. He recently intended to enslave a group of people, hence, as long as Shao Xuan stayed, he would be fine.
After Lei and Tuo left with Chacha, Su Gu looked for Shao Xuan as he wanted to enslave a group of slaves and he had already seen Shao Xuan’s fire of slavery. Su Gu also wanted to exchange notes with Shao Xuan. It was only that Shao Xuan has not enslaved people before. For the time being, he did not intend to enslave people, so Su Gu had some disappointment this time. He actually wanted to see if Shao Xuan could successfully enslave a person.
No one from the tribes have had this talent. But this person actually would not use such a good gift! Su Gu lamented.
Shao Xuan also did not tell Su Gu about his enslavement of beetles. He assisted Su Gu as he successfully enslaved more than twenty people, then finally left.
Su Gu was quite reluctant. “I know that this thing is actually not related to your Flaming Horns tribe, but, I still have to remind you to be more careful. I heard that the Snowfield King had orders to kill the tribesmen in Snowfield City. As long as they meet a tribesman, they would directly kill him.”
“Aren’t you all worried about the Snowfield king killing you? You took in the tribesmen.” Shao Xuan asked.
Su Gu thought about his father’s attitude. It seemed that he was not worried at all. Recently, his father had several people around him and he was very happy everyday.
