The leader of another affiliated tribe disagreed. He slammed the table and said, "Wan Ming, you are playing dumb! The flames rising into the sky are clearly coming from the direction of the ancestral tree. To the left of the ancestral tree are the residences of the tribe leader and the elders. To the right, within a mile, there are the medicine garden, the blood pond, and the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. These are all important places for the Wu clan. How could they catch fire for no reason? This must be an enemy attack! We must rush in immediately!"
The headmaster surnamed Wan raised his eyebrows and bowed, saying, "Then please ask Chief Huang to lead the tribe into Wu Valley to investigate the situation. If reinforcements are needed, please notify us."
"You! Wan Ming, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just killed a thief who trespassed into Wugu. If he hadn't run in, he wouldn't have been shot. Who knows what he was planning?" The headman was furious. He grabbed the collar of the Huang clan leader and said viciously, "That was my son! He was so engrossed in chasing his prey that he didn't realize he had entered Wugu territory, and yet they killed him!"
"Wan Ming, what are you doing! Let me go!"
The other two headmasters were named Yin and Ge. They looked at each other and stepped forward to pull the two men apart.
Chief Yin smiled gently, but his words were pointed. "Chief Wan, Chief Huang, stop arguing. This morning, I saw a large group of Wu Clan warriors leaving the valley from afar. I don't know where they went. Now that Wu Valley is unguarded, someone might have taken advantage of the situation and sneaked in. Why don't you lead your tribesmen in to take a look? If something does happen, Chief Huang will help turn the tide. The old clan leader and Young Envoy Lan will definitely reward you handsomely."
"Bah, why are you guys just standing by and watching while I'm allowed to go?"
Chief Ge patted his fan lightly and said sarcastically, "Witch Valley relies most on Chief Huang! Look, what is a blood pool? This chief has never heard of it, but Chief Huang knows it very well. The Ru clan is indeed a subsidiary clan of the Wu clan!"
Patriarch Huang glared fiercely at the youngest headmaster here, who had just taken over the position of headmaster from his father at the beginning of this year and was not yet thirty years old.
"That's because you're ignorant! It's an honor for those blood slaves to be able to offer sacrifices to the witch god!"
Chief Ge Shan sneered and said nothing.
The four people simply couldn't reach a consensus. Finally, Patriarch Huang made a harsh remark, slammed the door with a loud bang, and left the meeting point.
Chief Ge Shan looked at the red light deep in the Wu Valley and said in an ambiguous tone, "The Wu Clan's leader has changed, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't have urgently dispatched troops out of the valley. What do you think happened in there?"
Shanzhang Yin knocked on the table and said, "Before dawn today, I saw those Wu Clan warriors heading towards the Imperial Palace. I'm afraid the palace is not at peace. If the enemy arrives well prepared, it will be too late for us three mountains to support them." Shanzhang Wan, having lost his son, resented the Wu Clan. He gloated, "They treat human life with disregard. Thousands of innocent souls have died at their hands. Now that the guards are empty, won't those medicine men and blood slaves who are going to fill the blood pool go crazy?"
Chief Ge Shan shook his head and said, "I don't know if those slaves are going crazy. When Junior Envoy Lan, or Chief Lan, returns and sees the ruins of Wu Valley, I'm afraid he'll take his anger out on us."
Wan Ming calmed down for a moment. He understood what Chief Ge Shan meant. The old patriarch might have gone to see the Lord Wu Shen, and Wu Lan became the new patriarch.
Half an hour later, Chief Ge received the news that Chief Huang was standing outside Wu Valley and did not go in. It turned out that the formation of Wu Valley was still there, and Chief Huang was stopped outside and did not dare to break into the formation.
Ge Shanchang clapped his hands and said, "Witch Valley is in danger, and we should go to reinforce it. However, we don't understand the formation, so we can only wait outside for the elders of Witch Valley to bring people out. Don't you agree?"
The other two nodded in agreement, and the three chieftains led a large group of people to the outer formation of Wugu. Chief Wan approached and questioned, "Chief Huang, you should have gone ahead to investigate the situation first. Why are you still waiting outside? We've gathered a large number of people, just waiting for Chief Huang to go in and pass on the news to us!"
Patriarch Huang was blocked outside by the formation, and with a sour face, he started arguing with Patriarch Wan Shan when he heard the words.
Inside the formation, a group of people were observing the outside world.
A clear and calm female voice rang out, "We've already destroyed most of the formation. It's no longer a killing formation. At most, it can hold them back for an incense stick of time. Yet, this group of people simply don't dare to come in."
"But they are blocking the way here, so it's not easy for us to leave immediately."
The voice was very weak. After saying these few words, he covered his mouth and coughed several times.
"Shuka, can you still hold on?"
