Chapter 545 Four Directions (2/2)
The doyen squinted his eyes and answered, ”His is the Xia Kingdom's State Preceptor.”
These seven words were enough to dull the chief's facial expression. Recently, the Xia's Emperor attacked the Eastern Barbarians, and no tribe could withhold his attacks for half a day. Moreover, thirty-three tribes of all sizes had presented their offerings to the King as a sign of submission.
If it was not for Yunyang, the son of the White Emperor, a true Eastern Barbarian, coupled with the help of a saint from the demonic class, the expected outcome would be more than half of the Dongyi falling under the Xia Kingdom.
At present, the Emperor was also leading his army in a standoff with Young Master Yunyang at Mount Meng. A battle could unfold any time there. Even the Boyi Tribe had sent a portion of their fierce warriors to support the defence. Ten of them went, none was expected to return.
The tribe chief was well informed and understood clearly that the Xia army had not unleashed their full force yet. It only consisted of the Youhu's, Xin's, Ming's warriors, in whom the strongest would the chief of Youhu's, Lei Hong.
This was why he only sent the brave from his tribe, and retained the elders in hiding here.
If Young Master Yunyang could not defend Mount Meng, he had prepared to surrender to the Xia.
Knowing that the Qi cultivator was Xia's State Preceptor, he could not help but panicked.
The chief tribe then resented, ”Looks like we have to suck this in then.”
”You should not hide this from the people. Release this news at once tomorrow, so that no fools would march on and get involved with him,” the doyen warned.
”Old master, can't we just tell this to only our tribe people?” The chief whispered.
”You are such a small minded man. If you tell only our people, you cannot ensure that our people will not spread this news out anyway,” the doyen replied.
The chief sighed, ”You are the better thought person, after all, old master.”
Not all the tribes in Dongyi were united and harmonious. Boyi could have one of the biggest influence, but its development had stunted for hundreds of years.
Even some fearless fool went head to head with this Xia State Preceptor, one would be in for a good show.
Though feeling like a wasted opportunity, he still obeyed the doyen's orders and spread the news to the tribes to all four directions, which quickly escalated to all those within ten thousand miles.
He did not only announced the news, he also secretly sent extravagant gifts to Qing Xuan Cave, which later other tribes also followed suit.
These gestures eventually reached the ears of the Wuzhong's. When they found out, all of them regretted their own foolishness for missing the grand opportunity to have a good relationship with the State Preceptor of Xia.
These people were the convicts who were evicted by other tribes. Wherever they went, no one would want to see them. If they could be acquainted to the State Preceptor, their status would be up leveled multiple folds. Now, Ah Lian was the only one from their tribe who got hold of this opportunity.
Which was why Ah Lian felt troubled.
