“If not fighting, then fight!”
The many elders of the Thunder Roc tribe spoke coldly, their powerful aura radiating. Perhaps in their eyes, Lu Fan's previous words were an extreme provocation that had greatly displeased them.
“Are we afraid of you?”
Ouyang Qingqing retorted domineeringly, her aura strong. If it were before, they might have feared them a little, but now it was different. With Elder Wuming present, they were full of confidence, and at least in their view, there was no need to worry so much.
Elder Wuming stood to the side, a faint smile on his face, not directly intervening. In fact, he knew very well that if a fight were to break out, their current strength was not afraid of the Thunder Roc tribe at all.
As long as he could contain Huayu, Lu Fan could kill all the other elders of the Thunder Roc tribe. This would allow him to instantly control the entire situation. At that point, the Thunder Roc tribe would inevitably suffer a crushing defeat, and Elder Wuming saw this clearly.
“Stop arguing!”
Patriarch Huayu’s voice was cold: “Send the order to retreat!”
“Patriarch, how can we retreat? Will we not avenge Elder Like?”
An elder of the Thunder Roc tribe spoke, his eyes serious. After all, in his opinion, the great revenge of Elder Like could not be forgotten just like that. Lu Fan must pay the price, otherwise, what would be the dignity of their Thunder Roc tribe?
“As I said, retreat!”
Huayu’s voice sounded again, his eyes becoming sharper, as if in his eyes, everything was within his expectations. The appearance of Wuming had also made him somewhat wary.
The elders of the Thunder Roc tribe were displeased but had no good way to deal with it. After all, they could also feel that Elder Wuming’s strength was extremely high, and even Huayu might not be able to defeat him. This made them somewhat conflicted.
“I suggest you go back where you came from!”
Ouyang Qingqing shrugged and said, “Don’t come here to disgust us. If you dare to intrude into the human territory again, you’ll be carried out!”
“This is infuriating!”
An elder of the Thunder Roc tribe looked cold and was about to take action, but was stopped by Huayu: “What, does my word not matter? You don’t even listen to me? Have you never considered me your patriarch!”
“We dare not!”
The elders’ faces were ashen, and they dared not speak further. They felt helpless in their hearts, as it was not easy to deal with everything at this point.
Lu Fan and the others’ gazes became indifferent. At this point, they could at least be sure that the beast tribe would not dare to act rashly. Thus, they did not need to be too apprehensive. At least in their eyes, the human race did not need to be like this.
“Patriarch Huayu, as expected, you are the one who understands righteousness!”
With a faint smile, Elder Wuming looked at Huayu, his gaze serious, as if he had everything under control.
Huayu snorted coldly. Although he was displeased, he couldn’t say anything more. After all, their overall strength was too disproportionate. If they were to forcefully confront them, it would naturally not be a good thing for them.
At the same time, the beast tribe members all retreated. Although they were full of unwillingness, it seemed they could only do so.
Seeing that all the beast tribe members had retreated, there was a cheer within Wuyou City. Everyone looked at Lu Fan with a touch of emotion. Perhaps in their eyes, Lu Fan was the protagonist of this event. Without Lu Fan, things would not have turned out this way, and the human race might still be weak and incompetent.
Outside Wuyou City, although Huayu and the others were full of unwillingness, it seemed they could only do so.
At the same time, several elders of the Thunder Roc tribe spoke: “Patriarch Huayu, you weren’t like this before. What’s wrong now? You’re so timid, like a coward. You are a Great Sage, are you really this afraid of humans? Isn’t this a laughing matter?”
“There are some situations you simply don’t know!”
Huayu shook his head: “If we had acted rashly just now, we would have been disastrously defeated. Even more terrifyingly, our Thunder Roc tribe might have become a sacrifice for the beast tribes. Do you want all the bloodlines of the Thunder Roc tribe to be destroyed like this?”
“This…”
The elders were momentarily touched. In fact, they also knew very well that if they really went to war with the human race, they would likely be the vanguard. At that time, their entire Thunder Roc lineage might be wiped out, even completely annihilated, becoming a stepping stone for the beast tribes.
“And you may not know, besides that Great Sage just now, there was another aura hidden behind him in Wuyou City!”
Huayu said directly: “If I had acted forcefully, we would have had no chance of winning, and might have even died prematurely. This is why I told you to retreat. Do you really think I would be afraid of humans?”
“We have misunderstood the Patriarch!”
Everyone clasped their fists, their expressions becoming more respectful. They felt deeply ashamed of their previous suspicions, and naturally did not expect things to turn out this way, catching them off guard.
Huayu said nothing. Everything he did was for the Thunder Roc tribe, and he would never allow the Thunder Roc tribe to suffer any harm.
At the same time, within the entire Wuyou City, there was a great celebration. Repelling the beast tribe was perhaps the greatest honor for the entire human race.
Within Wuyou City, a banquet had already been prepared. Lu Fan and the others sat there, being toasted by many experts from Wuyou City. Every eye was filled with fervent admiration. Not bowing down to the beast tribe was what the human race desired.
Elder Wuming did not attend the banquet. Perhaps in his opinion, it was not necessary.
After the banquet ended, Lu Fan and the others went to the city walls again. They looked dashing, as if everything in the world was within their grasp.
“I really didn’t expect it, today was very close!” Ouyang Qingqing smiled and said, “If Elder Wuming hadn’t come, we might have perished here, or even been unable to make a ripple!”
“Indeed, we have to thank Elder Wuming a lot!” Lu Fan nodded slightly, his gaze more serious.
At the same time, a figure slowly walked towards them from not far away. It was Elder Wuming, his back hunched, looking somewhat weathered.
