Vol 3 Chapter 9 (1/2)
Book 3, Chapter 9 – Riverside Tribe
A grief that had been suppressed for so long but which was given sudden release…hoerful it was! Ji Ning stood there quietly, looking at the agonized Blacktooth, not saying a single word
“Since you already know, youngmaster, come with me” Blacktooth rose and walked out of the room
Ning and Autumn Leaf followed behind him
Blacktooth led the way in front, all the way towards the very back of the tribe In the very back of the tribe, there was a sh the wooden door…there was a cemetery far past it Many of the erected tombs were newly made Clearly, this was a freshly built cemetery
“Young , her eyes filled with a hint of unease
Ning held his breath as well He understood where Blacktooth was taking him
“Right here” Blacktooth pointed at a seerave, there was a large stone, which had just a feords carved into it: ‘Daughter, Miwa Erected by Father, Blacktooth’
“Spring Grass” Ning quietly stood there, looking at the grave
In his life, he had rarely experienced the sensation of heartbreak Co preferred cal sorowing deeper
Calm and peaceful was real!
To treat someone as part of your own life At least in this life, fro Grass had spent with hi hadn’t realized it when she was alive, but now that he knew she was dead, he felt as though a piece of his heart had been chopped off
It hurt very much!
“Blacktooth” Ning stood there, looking at the to TellGrass returned”
Blacktooth nodded
“At first, on the way back, she was actually quite sad Sad that she had to part with you, young hed “But after she arrived at the tribe and saw her two brothers, Miwa clearly became much happier She’d often spend time with her two little brothers…the days passed in happiness, and at that ti to visit her”
“Only!”
Blacktooth’s voice sunk “One day, Serpentwing arrived It was like a night countless members of our tribe to die, one of which was my son, Waterfront”
“The death of Waterfront, her little brother, hurt Miwa very much”
Ning remembered that beast skin letter which discussed so to the Blacktooth Tribe Many were stories regarding her and her two little brothers Clearly, Miwa truly doted on her two little brothers This caused Ning to quietly co Grass’ sole surviving brother, as a way to help console Miwa’s soul in heaven
“Serpentwing’s attack caused the entire Blacktooth Tribe to fall into an abyss of fear and pain! The tribesain Soer tribes”
“Everyone in the tribe was in a state of panic” Blacktooth continued, “Many tribes’s attack, our tribe’s population beca…if this continued, the Blacktooth Tribe would have fallen apart soon”
Ning nodded
“I had undergone countless difficulties in order to build the tribe Naturally, I didn’t want it to fall apart just like that” Blacktooth said “Spring Grass felt sympathy for me, so she put down her embarrassment and wrote a letter and asked the tribesive it to you, youngmaster, to help my Blacktooth Tribe”
“Only, we quickly received the news that you, young ” Blacktooth shook his head
Ning ground his teeth
Right
He had gone adventuring long before Serpentwing had reached the peak of the Xiantian stage Naturally, they wouldn’t have been able to find him
“The tribeso asking for the protection of that extree tribe, the ‘Riverside Tribe’” Blacktooth said in a dark voice “As long as we could receive the protection of the Riverside Tribe and be per would be fine”
“Riverside City?” Ning murmured to himself
As one of the hegemons of the S Mountain area, the Ji clan naturally had to control the many tribes within this territory No tribe’s population was permitted to expand beyond fifty thousand! Once they expanded beyond fifty thousand, they ht become a threat to the Ji clan’s rule Thus, if that happened, the Ji clan would definitely use so tribes
Thus, a fifty thousand e tribe The Riverside Tribe was one such tribe! Because the tribe was large, the walls of the tribe were h it couldn’t coe city like the West Prefecture City which held hundreds of thousands of citizens, it was still an extrest the countless tribes
Generally speaking, tribes that were able to erect such a city had a Xiantian lifefor them
“Riverside City had terful Xiantian lifeforo there” Blacktooth said “Our Blacktooth Tribe only had a few hundred people As long as we could enter Riverside City! Once Serpentas dealt with, everything would then return to normal”
“We went to pay our respects to a powerful figure within Riverside City, River He, and offered treasures, wanting him to accept our Blacktooth Tribe hide within for a tiround his teeth “But that River He was very picky He didn’t have any interest in those treasures we offered But he took an interest in Miwa”
“He wanted Miwa to becoe, he would help the Blacktooth Tribe this tihty Miwa is Of course she didn’t accept She ih Blacktooth’s eyes “That River He actually sent his subordinates to go capture Mianting to forcibly take her back”
