In a forest within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Arctic 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!" Chief Ziyue stated directly, "Perhaps this is the destiny of the Arctic 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 Arctic Chief said directly, "If you come with me, you won't have to be coerced by him."
"Have you forgotten? Among the tribes of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, oaths are highly valued," Ziyue said directly. "Since I am loyal to Lord Lu, I cannot let you leave alive."
"You change your tune faster than flipping a book!" The Arctic Chief's face turned ashen, "To protect your tribe, you're actually trying to sell me out!"
"If it weren't for the Arctic tribe, the Ziyue tribe would not have gotten involved," Ziyue said 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 still be a way out!"
"Impossible, he will never let me go!" The Arctic Chief said seriously, "You should know his temperament, and even more so his methods. If I truly go with you, there will be no chance of survival."
Ziyue frowned. He didn't want this, but he was loyal to Lu Fan now and had to do it, even if the Arctic Chief begged.
Seeing that his words were useless, the Arctic Chief did not hesitate. After delivering a palm strike, he intended to flee. However, he was intercepted by the many Grandmasters of the Ziyue tribe: "Where is the Arctic Chief going? The survival of the Ziyue tribe depends on you. How can we let you leave?"
"You want to kick me while I'm down!"
The Arctic Chief frowned and looked at Ziyue again.
"If you make any further moves, you will be killed without mercy!" Ziyue's expression turned cold. "There are only benefits between tribes. If it weren't for you, Ziyue would not have to wade into these troubled waters. Therefore, you must come with me!"
The Arctic Chief resisted with all his might. He was already heavily injured, and facing the many Grandmasters of the Ziyue tribe, he was struggling.
Seeing this, Chief Ziyue struck again with a palm, carrying a powerful gust of wind. He forcibly made the Arctic Chief spit blood and fall directly to the ground.
"Take him down!"
Chief Ziyue said coldly, "Let Lord Lu deal with him!"
Everyone nodded and simultaneously marched towards the Arctic tribe, with joy in their hearts. The capture of the Arctic 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 instead observed, fully aware of all the situations in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
"I never imagined that the three major tribes would join forces and be defeated so quickly!" Han Bing said, "The Arctic tribe's crushing defeat, it's a pity for those experts!"
"What is the point if they cannot be used by the Dragon Kingdom!" Long Aotian stated directly, "The three major sects are so powerful, with countless experts within them, yet they are unwilling to contribute to the Dragon Kingdom. Instead, they 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 homeland and will only fight for their own interests."
At this moment, in the main hall, the Arctic Chief knelt on the ground, heavily injured and appearing on the verge of death.
"My Lord, the Arctic Chief has been captured."
Chief Ziyue clasped his fists, "The Ziyue tribe will never disappoint Your Lordship."
"That is for the best!" Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction, "Henceforth, the Ziyue tribe will leave the Hundred Thousand Mountains with me!"
"We obey!" Chief Ziyue quickly nodded. The situation reaching this point was already the best possible outcome.
"Arctic Chief, do you have any regrets!" Lin Xiaojia stepped forward, "My Sacred Blood tribe was annihilated! Today, you must also taste suffering!"
"Don't say anything more. Kill me if you want to kill, skin me if you want to skin!" The Arctic Chief sneered, "The Sacred Blood tribe deserved to die! It's just a pity that after all my calculations, I didn't anticipate you, girl. Otherwise, how could you have escaped alive!"
"Even now, you still have no regrets!" Lin Xiaojia instantly sneered, "I can give you a chance!"
"What chance?" The Arctic Chief was quite interested.
"If you can defeat me now, I can let you live!" Lin Xiaojia narrowed her eyes. "If you cannot defeat me, then you have only death."
"I am already heavily injured, but it is enough to deal with you," the Arctic 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 Arctic Chief looked at Lu Fan on the main seat, "If Lord Lu gives his word, I will agree to this match. Otherwise, I would rather die!"
"You see quite clearly!" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "It's up to Xiaojia's decision. If she agrees, I agree!"
"It's a deal!"
The Arctic Chief smirked. 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 she wants to do this, she is not wrong," Lu Fan waved his hand. "You don't need to say anything more, just watch."
Seeing Lu Fan's certainty, Chief Ziyue didn't 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 get revenge through her own means, her heart would feel better. If Lin Xiaojia was defeated, Lu Fan, with his strength, could intervene in time to stop it.
Not long after, everyone arrived in the courtyard. Lin Xiaojia, holding a dagger, walked directly towards the Arctic Chief.
The Arctic Chief sneered and did not avoid it at all. He directly unleashed his inner energy to intimidate Lin Xiaojia. However, with every bit of strength he used, a hole appeared on his body, as his severe injuries could not withstand the intensity of his inner energy.
Lin Xiaojia was thrown back several times, but she still clutched her bleeding wounds and lunged at the Arctic Chief, stabbing him. The annihilation of the Sacred Blood tribe that year, and watching so many of her loved ones die before her eyes, had deeply shaken her.
She would not let this opportunity slip away easily.
The Arctic Chief's physical strength was failing, and coupled with Lin Xiaojia's increasing ferocity, he was instantly pierced by Lin Xiaojia's dagger, blood flowing out continuously, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
"This is your fate!" Lin Xiaojia's expression was cold. "I have finally avenged myself! The deep hatred of blood!"
As she spoke, the dagger fell from Lin Xiaojia's hand, and she herself fainted. Everyone present was slightly startled and hurried forward.
Lu Fan looked at everything before him with satisfaction. With Lin Xiaojia's matter resolved, she would no longer have inner demons, and her path of cultivation would surely be even better.
