Chapter 2525: Chapter 2526: Alliance Between the Two Clans

Qingxiu Peak, in front of the main hall.

"Third Master, it’s been so long and he still hasn’t come back, did something happen to Ye Luo?!" the Ice Princess asked anxiously.

"Well... hard to say. But since he was that confident, he should be fine. You know his way of doing things better than anyone—he doesn’t do anything he’s not sure of!" Third Master analyzed.

"They’re back!"

Off to the side, Qiong Yao suddenly cried out.

Everyone looked up and saw space twist, then two figures rather awkwardly jumped out from the distorted space.

It was Ye Luo and the Vice Clan Leader.

The Vice Clan Leader lifted his head and glanced at the surroundings, his expression turning somewhat complicated.

"Vice Clan Leader! Ye Luo, you’re finally back!" The Ice Princess rushed up at once.

After that, Qiong Yao and Third Master and the others followed quickly behind.

After all, being able to rescue the Vice Clan Leader from the hands of those three old ancestors and bring him back was practically a miracle.

"I did not disgrace the mission!" Ye Luo said with a smile.

"You’d better not call me Vice Clan Leader anymore. I no longer have anything to do with the Moonwater Tribe!" the Vice Clan Leader said with a smile.

Although there was a smile on his face, it was clear he held no small amount of hatred in his heart for the Moonwater Tribe—or rather, for those three old ancestors.

Since he had been the Vice Clan Leader, he had spent most of his life fighting for the Moonwater Tribe. Not even he knew how much he had given, and in the end, this was what he got.

"Fifth Uncle!" the Ice Princess called out sweetly.

Only then did the Vice Clan Leader show a genuine smile.

He didn’t know why the Ice Princess called him Fifth Uncle, but judging from this, he was indeed willing to stay at Qingxiu Peak with an easy mind.

His doting on the Ice Princess even exceeded what Ye Luo had imagined.

"Fifth Uncle, it’s great that you’re here. I’ll keep you company every day, okay?" the Ice Princess said with a smile.

"How could that do? Your Fifth Uncle is old already, you should find a home of your own. You ought to spend more time with Little Friend Ye instead!" Fifth Uncle looked at Ye Luo and said with a smile.

"Oh come on, Fifth Uncle, you’re teasing me too, I’m not talking to you anymore!"

She turned away shyly, even giving Ye Luo a glare in passing.

The scene was full of warmth and harmony, and it made Ye Luo feel a bit of warmth in his own heart.

It was just that he knew this was all only on the surface. Right now danger lurked on all sides, and Qingxiu Peak was still swaying in the wind and rain.

At the foot of the towering Kunshan lay the territory of the Kunshan Tribe.

Compared to the Moonwater Tribe, the cultivators of the Kunshan Tribe were much more high-profile.

Even their buildings were constructed to be lavish and magnificent. Of course, this so-called magnificence didn’t mean the level of construction was high; in fact, compared to the great halls on Qingxiu Peak, they weren’t even in the same league.

However, the roofs of these grand halls were actually covered in Crystal Stone. Seen from afar, they glinted and shone. This kind of extravagant and foolish practice was probably something only the Kunshan Tribe could come up with.

At this moment the atmosphere in the main hall was still exceedingly oppressive.

More than a dozen people sat cross-legged on meditation cushions, but not a single one dared speak. They silently stared toward the doorway, as if waiting for something.

"Report!"

With a shout, a Disciple rushed in from outside in a fluster.

Seeing this Disciple, the expressions of the several elders in the room grew even more tense.

"Has there been news from over there?"

One Elder asked immediately.

"Reporting to Old Ancestor, the new heir has successfully inherited the power of the totem. We’ve succeeded!"

Excellent!

The few Elders all grew excited when they heard this.

"Damn it, we lost an heir last time. Fortunately, Heaven favors our Kunshan Tribe and actually gave us another heir. This time, the Moonwater Tribe must be annihilated!" the old man roared.

Despite not knowing how many years he had lived and already being an Old Ancestor, his temper was still as violent as ever.

"Old Ancestor, I’ve heard the Moonwater Tribe’s totem has already disappeared. This is the perfect opportunity for us to wipe out the Moonwater Tribe!" an Elder said at once.

Previously no one dared speak of the Moonwater Tribe, because the inheritance process of the heir had reached its most critical stage. Now that a new heir had appeared, the Kunshan Tribe’s confidence naturally swelled considerably.

"No rush. We’re not the only ones eyeing the Moonwater Tribe. The Moonwater Tribe is, after all, a great clan that has accumulated countless years of heritage. Who knows how many hidden experts they have? Those three old monsters are also extremely tricky. Only a fool would clash with them head-on. The best way now is for each tribe to make its own move, slowly wear down the Moonwater Tribe’s strength, and in the end divide the Moonwater Tribe among us!" the Old Ancestor analyzed in a deep voice.

Though he looked rough on the outside and had a violent temper, his mind was incomparably meticulous.

Hearing this, it was obvious he didn’t intend to make a move against the Moonwater Tribe himself, so the others stopped trying to persuade him. After all, unlike the Moonwater Tribe, in the Kunshan Tribe it was the Old Ancestor who held supreme authority.

After that, the others withdrew from the main hall, leaving only the Old Ancestor sitting cross-legged on a massive meditation cushion.

"Hmph, since you’re already here, aren’t you going to show yourself? You people of the Moonwater Tribe really are a bunch of sneaky rats!" the Old Ancestor snorted coldly toward the roof.

"Haha, after all these years, your temper’s still the same!"

With a loud laugh, an old man’s figure appeared before the Kunshan Tribe’s Old Ancestor.

It was one of the Old Ancestors of the Moonwater Tribe.

"Heh, you’ve got guts, I’ll give you that. Aren’t you afraid you’ll never leave the Kunshan Tribe?"

The Kunshan Old Ancestor chuckled darkly.

It was no empty threat. In terms of Strength, the Moonwater Tribe’s Old Ancestor was a bit weaker than the Kunshan Old Ancestor. Of course, that slight gap didn’t determine victory or defeat between the two, but with the help of other experts, there was a real chance they could keep the Moonwater Old Ancestor here.

Or rather, if the Kunshan Tribe directly used the power of the totem to kill the Moonwater Old Ancestor, that wasn’t impossible either.

It was just that the price to pay would be far too great.

"Haha, we’ve been old friends for so many years, you naturally won’t do that."

"Hmph, enough nonsense. If you can’t convince me today, I’ll definitely take you down!" the Kunshan Old Ancestor said coldly.

The Moonwater Old Ancestor didn’t mind. "I’m here to talk cooperation with you."

"Cooperation?" The Kunshan Old Ancestor let out a cold laugh. "The Moonwater Tribe is already besieged on all sides, and you actually came to talk cooperation with me? You want our Kunshan Tribe to shoulder this black pot together with you? Are you the one who’s gone stupid, or do you take me for an idiot?"

"That’s where you’re wrong. The other tribes are only in it for profit. It’s true the Moonwater Tribe is a big cake, but it’s not something just anyone can swallow. Even your Kunshan Tribe—can you really say you dare to destroy the Moonwater Tribe right now? Of course you don’t. Since even you don’t dare, there’s no need to mention the other tribes."
