Chapter 2558: Chapter 2599: Fight to the End!

Since we have decided to stay here, we naturally won’t sit and wait for death.

Afterward, Princess Xiu personally set up defenses; her skill in formations was quite prominent.

However, Ye Luo understood that none of this would be of any use!

The Mountain Protection Array of Qingxiu Peak might not even withstand the attacks of the totem incarnation, let alone these ordinary formations.

Princess Xiu’s words were merely to calm the clan members’ emotions.

"Ye Luo, accompany me for a walk!"

After making arrangements, everyone else left the place; just as Ye Luo was about to leave, Princess Xiu stopped him.

Ye Luo thought for a moment and then slowly nodded.

In fact, at this time, over eighty percent of Qingxiu Peak’s area was occupied by those clan members, and besides the Forbidden Land, there was hardly any place to walk around.

The two of them walked slowly along the edge of the peak. Whenever the clan members saw Princess Xiu, they knelt down to show their respect, clearly grateful to her.

Moreover, some were building shelters, others packing their belongings; in short, they were busy and cheerful. Clearly, they had already made this place their home.

Witnessing this scene, Ye Luo was filled with emotion, reminding him of the villagers in the Divine Kingdom who only desired a stable place to live.

And at that thought, it seemed as if his connection with the Divine Kingdom grew even closer.

"Ye Luo, I don’t know if relocating these clan members here was the right decision. If we let them go down the mountain, perhaps they might have a chance to survive!" Princess Xiu said with a complex expression.

Ye Luo sighed, "Since we’ve let them camp here, they naturally won’t be willing to leave. Even if they die here, they won’t blame you!"

Princess Xiu fell silent, head lowered, lost in thought.

"Ye Luo, do you really have confidence in dealing with that totem incarnation?" Princess Xiu suddenly inquired.

Ye Luo was taken aback. He hadn’t just been boasting before; he did have a dangerous but possible plan to deal with the incarnation. He just hadn’t expected anyone to believe him.

Surprisingly, Princess Xiu’s question indicated she believed him, at least for the most part.

"It can be done but will require a substantial cost!" Ye Luo said gravely.

At this point, Ye Luo had nothing to hide. They were all in this together, bound to the same fate, and would use every ounce of their strength.

"Ye Luo, tell me what you need. Be it manpower or resources, I will support you to the fullest extent!" Princess Xiu earnestly declared.

Indeed, if Ye Luo were to fight alone, it would be risky. But with experts and certain rare treasures assisting him, the chances of success would increase significantly.

"Ye Luo, come with me; it’s inconvenient to talk here. Let’s discuss this further in the great hall!"

Then, the two entered the great hall, and this strategic planning continued for several hours.

Two days later, the Moonwater Tribe finally made a move.

The three ancestors appeared directly below Qingxiu Peak. Ostensibly, they were there to protect the totem incarnation, but they had been watching Qingxiu Peak to prevent Princess Xiu and Ice Princess from escaping.

"We three are the ancestors of the Moonwater Tribe. Some from our tribe have been misled by the deceit of Qingxiu Peak’s remnants. Now that the totem incarnation has come forth, our tribe’s prosperity is imminent. Those willing to return will be forgiven; those who persist in their folly are not our tribe’s people and will perish along with Qingxiu Peak!"

A voice from one of the ancestors thundered in the air.

At this moment, the clan members on Qingxiu Peak were astonished and looked to the sky in confusion.

The great array of Qingxiu Peak was still functioning, preventing them from seeing outside, but they heard the ancestors’ rage-filled shouts.

"Back then, my granddaughter was humiliated by a True Disciple, yet the Grand Elder shielded that True Disciple, not punishing him. Instead, my granddaughter was taken away, ultimately meeting a tragic fate. Such a tribe, I have no intention of rejoining!"

"Alas, my father was forcibly taken as a death warrior, ultimately perishing at the mines. Asking me to return, I’d rather die instead!"

At once, murmurs arose from the crowd, the clan members growing increasingly agitated.

"Princess Xiu has been generous to us! She saved my life back then!"

"And Ice Princess was our savior; without her aid, we might have perished long ago!"

"Not to mention the Vice Clan Leader, who has shown us immense kindness!"

The tribal leaders had always viewed these clan members as fools, but they were truly straightforward: they would support whoever treated them well.

"We will live and die with Qingxiu Peak!"

"We pledge our allegiance to Princess Xiu!"

These clan members began shouting passionately.

Despite the array’s operation, the three ancestors could clearly hear the shouting of the clan members.

"Humph, what a group of fools. If not for the fact that they carry a sliver of our bloodline, I wouldn’t care whether they lived or died!"

"Enough, since they have betrayed us, we need not show mercy!"

"Kill them!"

The faces of the three ancestors slowly turned grim.

"Hmph, I want to see how many resources Qingxiu Peak has to keep this great array running!" an ancestor sneered.

As if in response to his words, the array’s operation suddenly slowed down.

"Haha, this array is about to falter. The end of Qingxiu Peak is near!" another ancestor laughed triumphantly.

Below Qingxiu Peak, at the altar.

The higher-ups of Qingxiu Peak gathered here, their expressions grim.

"When the array stops operating, the totem incarnation will descend. I’d rather die standing than live alone. Today, everyone, join me in fighting for our clan, for freedom, to the very end!" Princess Xiu declared coldly.

"Fight to the end!"

The crowd echoed with fury.

"Third Master, you will lead all protectors to intercept the Moonwater Tribe’s experts. The rest, we will confront those three ancestors!" Princess Xiu commanded.

The Third Master acknowledged, and in the next moment, Princess Xiu soared into the air with several experts.

However, the experts Qingxiu Peak could muster were only Ye Luo, the Vice Clan Leader, and Ye Luo. Ice Princess and Qiong Yao could not withstand those three ancestors.
