Chapter 472
As for which overlord's territory he would seize, Chen Xuan naturally wouldn't say.
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, both Jiang Tianxiao and Jiang Ming's expressions changed drastically.
It should be noted that the other three tribes of the four overlords each have a Myriad Manifestations Realm expert presiding over one of their respective regions.
What is Chen Xuancai's strength? He's only at the Innate Realm. How can someone at the Innate Realm make such arrogant claims?
Seeing the resolute look in Chen Xuan's eyes, Jiang Ming felt a pang of sorrow. In truth, if it truly came to the brink of the tribe's survival, even a cultivator at the Innate Realm would have no choice but to take the risk. After all, it was all for the sake of the tribe's survival and continuation.
However, Chen Xuan's resolute words seemed to have touched Jiang Tianxiao.
He had heard his great-grandfather tell the story of how the ancestors of the Jiang clan had come to this place in search of a place to multiply. The ancestors of the Jiang clan had also encountered a similar predicament, and had no choice but to take a desperate gamble, and only by succeeding in the end was their clan able to obtain territory to breathe and multiply.
This almost perfectly matches Chen Xuan's current state.
"Enough, enough. Seeing you, young friend, reminds me of my Jiang clan's ancestor. He led the remaining members of his clan, struggling to survive among several powerful rulers, but in the end..."
Jiang Tianxiao sighed and gestured for Chen Xuan to unfold the map.
“Young friend Chen Xuan, let’s be frank. With a clan of 300 million, let alone my Jiang clan, even the other four overlords of Qushan would probably not agree, since the population is too large.”
Jiang Tianxiao looked at Chen Xuan and shook his head with a wry smile, saying, "To be honest, the current situation of my Jiang clan is not good either. Our ancestors made great contributions in battle and were later protected by the feudal lords for a thousand years. We survived through a long and arduous journey and only then did we have a thousand years to reproduce. But now that the thousand-year period has passed, the direct line of the Jiang clan has failed to produce any truly strong individuals. With such a vast territory, we do not have enough strength to deter others. Can you imagine what the consequences will be?"
Jiang Tianxiao smiled wryly and continued, "Although the four overlords have not dared to openly attack the Jiang clan's territory in recent years due to the remaining power of the feudal lords, there have been no fewer than a hundred provocations and tests on the border."
“Although our ancestors left behind some treasures after their death, treasures are ultimately disposable, and many have been used up over the years.” Jiang Tianxiao said, looking at Chen Xuan with a wry smile, “So, young friend Chen Xuan, since you are so sincere, then I will make things clear.”
As Chen Xuan looked at Jiang Tianxiao and said this, he seemed to have aged considerably in an instant, and his eyes became somewhat dim.
"It's only a matter of time before other overlords attack the Jiang family."
"If a region's overlord suddenly becomes stronger, then in order to demonstrate its power, it will naturally choose to expand its territory. Conversely, if that powerful figure dies after its natural lifespan ends, or loses the protection of a certain power, other powerful overlords will also choose to divide up the territory of the weaker overlord. This is the rule."
Jiang Tianxiao laid so much groundwork before finally saying what he wanted to say.
He looked at Chen Xuan and said, "If one day, my Jiang clan becomes weak, or if other overlords attack and collapse, and we are no longer able to hold the position of overlord of Qushan, and if the Longxia tribe becomes the new overlord of Qushan, I hope that my young friend Chen Xuan can give the remnants of my Jiang clan a place to rest and recuperate, just like today."
Chen Xuan smiled upon hearing this, "If that day ever comes, the Jiang family will surely remain the dominant force in Qushan."
Anyway, bragging doesn't cost money, so Chen Xuan was extremely cooperative with the old man Jiang Tianxiao.
As for the future, it is unpredictable. Who can know what will happen in the future?
"Hahaha……"
The three of them burst into laughter upon hearing this, but how much sorrow and helplessness were hidden in their laughter?
“Young friend, look here. This area is so vast that it occupies one-fifth of my Jiang clan’s territory. The spiritual energy here is abundant, making it a place of outstanding beauty.” Jiang Tianxiao pointed to the indistinct dotted areas on the sheepskin map. “The good thing is that the spiritual energy here is abundant, but the bad thing is also that it is here.”
