In a forest within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Beiji tribal chief looked at Ziyue, "Do you truly intend to betray me? Have you forgotten that I helped you before?"
"There's no need for further words. For the safety of my tribe, I can only make you pay!" Ziyue stated directly, "Perhaps this is the fate of the Beiji tribe, something you cannot change."
"As long as I go to the Tianyun Hall and report this matter to them, they will surely intervene!" the Beiji chief declared, "Accompany me, and you won't have to suffer his coercion."
"Have you forgotten? Among the tribes of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, oaths are paramount," Ziyue said directly. "Since I am loyal to Lord Lu, I cannot let you leave alive."
"Your face changes faster than a flipped book!" the Beiji chief's complexion turned ashen, "To protect your tribe, you would actually sell me out!"
"If it weren't for the Beiji tribe, the Ziyue tribe wouldn't be involved," Ziyue stated directly. "I hope you can understand what I'm saying. Now, come with me to see Lord Lu. I will plead for you, and perhaps there will be a way out!"
"Impossible, he will never let me go!" the Beiji chief said seriously, "You know his personality, and you know his methods. If I truly go with you, there will be no possibility of survival."
Ziyue frowned. He didn't want it to be this way, but he was loyal to Lu Fan now and had to act, even if the Beiji chief begged.
Seeing that his words were useless, the Beiji chief did not hesitate. After striking out with his palm, he attempted to flee, but was intercepted by many masters from the Ziyue tribe. "Where is the Beiji chief going? The survival of the Ziyue tribe depends on you. How can we let you leave?"
"You wish to kick me while I'm down!"
The Beiji chief frowned and looked at Ziyue again.
"If you dare to move again, you will be killed without mercy!" Ziyue's expression was icy. "There are only interests between tribes. If it weren't for you, Ziyue wouldn't have to get involved in this mess. Therefore, you must come with me!"
The Beiji chief resisted with all his might. He was already heavily injured, and facing the many masters of the Ziyue tribe, he struggled.
Seeing this, Ziyue chief struck out with another palm, carrying a powerful gust of wind, which forced the Beiji chief to spit blood and fall directly to the ground.
"Take him down!"
Ziyue chief said coldly, "Let Lord Lu handle him!"
Everyone nodded and stepped towards the Beiji tribe, feeling a sense of joy. The capture of the Beiji chief meant that the Ziyue tribe would not be threatened, which was a fortunate outcome.
Meanwhile, in the shadows of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Dragon Group members did not intervene but observed, fully aware of all the situations in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
"I truly didn't expect the three major tribes to be defeated so quickly when they joined forces!" Han Bing remarked, "It's a pity for those experts that the Beiji tribe suffered such a crushing defeat!"
"What is the point if they cannot be used by the Dragon Kingdom!" Long Aotian stated directly, "How powerful are the three major sects, with countless experts within them? Yet, they are unwilling to contribute to the Dragon Kingdom, and instead absorb the Dragon Kingdom's strength. Such existences are simply unnecessary!"
"That's true!" Jian Ying nodded, "Although these people are powerful, they will ultimately not protect their homes and country, only fight for their own interests."
At this moment, in the main hall, the Beiji chief knelt, heavily injured and appearing to be on his last breath.
"My lord, the Beiji chief has been captured."
Ziyue chief cupped his fists, "The Ziyue tribe will never disappoint you."
"That is excellent!" Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction. "From now on, the Ziyue tribe will leave the Hundred Thousand Mountains with me!"
"We obey your command!" Ziyue chief quickly nodded. Things had reached this point, which was the best possible outcome.
"Beiji chief, do you have any regrets!" Lin Xiaojia stepped forward. "My Holy Blood tribe was annihilated! Today, I imagine you have tasted suffering!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Kill me if you want, or flay me if you want!" the Beiji chief sneered. "The Holy Blood tribe deserved to die! It's a pity that after all my calculations, I didn't account for you, girl. Otherwise, how could you have escaped alive!"
"Even now, you still have no regrets!" Lin Xiaojia sneered instantly. "I can give you one chance!"
"What chance?" the Beiji chief asked with interest.
"If you can defeat me now, I will spare your life!" Lin Xiaojia narrowed her eyes. "If you cannot defeat me, then your only path is death."
"I am already heavily injured, but dealing with you is more than enough," the Beiji chief said coldly. "But why should I believe your words?"
"If you don't believe me, who will you believe?" Lin Xiaojia's expression was indifferent.
The Beiji chief looked towards Lu Fan on the main seat. "If Lord Lu gives his consent to this match, I will agree. Otherwise, I would rather die!"
"You see things quite clearly!" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "It is still Xiaojia's decision. If I agree, then so be it!"
"It's a deal!"
The Beiji chief had a sly smile. Although he was heavily injured, he was still a Battle Spirit realm expert. If he truly fought Lin Xiaojia, he had at least a fifty percent chance.
"My lord, this might not be appropriate," Ziyue interjected. "After all, he is a Battle Spirit!"
"Trust Xiaojia. Since he wants to do this, he will not be wrong," Lu Fan waved his hand. "You don't need to say anything more, just watch the fight."
Seeing Lu Fan's confidence, Ziyue chief did not say much more.
Han Yunhai stood by, clearly understanding Lu Fan's thoughts.
After all, it was a deep-seated hatred. If Lin Xiaojia could resolve it through her own means, she would likely feel better. If Lin Xiaojia was outmatched, Lu Fan's strength would allow him to intervene and stop it in time.
Not long after, everyone arrived in the courtyard. Lin Xiaojia held a dagger and walked directly towards the Beiji chief.
The Beiji chief sneered and did not evade at all. He directly unleashed his internal energy to intimidate Lin Xiaojia. However, with every ounce of strength he used, a hole would appear on his body, as his severe injuries could not withstand the intensity of his internal energy.
Lin Xiaojia was sent flying back several times, but she still clutched her bleeding wounds and lunged at the Beiji chief. The destruction of the Holy Blood tribe this year, and the sight of her many relatives dying, had deeply shaken her.
This opportunity, she would never let slip away.
The Beiji chief's stamina weakened, and coupled with Lin Xiaojia's increasing ferocity, he was instantly pierced by Lin Xiaojia's dagger, blood flowing out continuously. His eyes were filled with unwillingness.
"This is your fate!" Lin Xiaojia's expression was cold. "I have finally avenged myself, my blood feud!"
As she spoke, the dagger slipped from Lin Xiaojia's hand, and she fainted. Those present were slightly startled and quickly rushed forward.
Lu Fan looked at everything before him with satisfaction. Now that Lin Xiaojia's matter was resolved, she would have no inner demons, and her cultivation path would surely be even better.
