Chapter 10: Luo Hou Acts; The Battle of the Three Clans


Translator: Transn Editor: Transn


Minghe was living a leisurely life on Blood Sea. He was in no hurry to participate in this Cultivation Tribulation. He knew someone would be anxious about it, and then all he had to do was to wait for his time. His goal was not to vie for the prosperity of Untainted Land; it had always been the treasures. And this time, his target was the treasure trove of the three tribes.


Minghe was not anxious but someone else was. Somewhere in the far west, Luohou saw the three tribes at their pinnacle having a little friction from time to time and having ongoing small fights. However, one thing made him feel depressed. After the leader of the three tribes broke through the realm of Sage-to-be, they actually toned down without intending to go to war at all. How can Luohou not be furious?


Luohou signaled to his henchman and asked, "Is everything ready?" A man covered in flames and sporting crimson horns walked up and replied, "My Lord, your orders have been carried out. As soon as you give a word, we can begin moving at any moment." The one who spoke was Luohou's righthand general, Balrog. He was created by the Primordial Refined Fire combined with the demonic aura. His cultivation had reached the late stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.


Luohou was pleased with his words. "Good, Balrog. Indeed, you haven't disappointed me. This is my order: Start the operation but don't be hasty. You have to make sure the plan is carried out flawlessly. Once we succeed, I wonder if the three tribes will be able to live as they're now in peace." The demons answered, "Yes! We'll follow your decree, Sire." After receiving their orders, they left.


In the East Sea Dragon Palace, a boy of eleven or twelve human years was playing by riding on the back of a prawn soldier. This child was very noble as he was the grandson of Ancestor of Dragon, the Ancestor of Dragon Tribe, named Ao Kun. He was utterly pampered by his grandfather, which led to his wild and undisciplined nature. The boy hit and scolded the soldiers often. Even worse, he beat some of them to death.


"Boring! Don't you have any new toys to please me? Useless bunch! If you can't think of any fun stuff, I'll execute you all." Ao Kun pointed at the soldiers in front of him and scolded them whilst riding on the back of another prawn soldier.


The group of soldiers was scared half to death and kneeled down, begging for mercy. "Crown Prince, please have mercy!" At that time, a dragon flew in from outside and transformed into a human form. He kneeled and bowed down. "Jiao San is here. What made Your Highness angry?"


After seeing Jiao San, Ao Kun's temper subsided. Jiao San was his confidant and was often able to think of new ideas to entertain him. "Jiao San, it's all because of these useless bunch of idiots. The things they think of aren't fun at all. Oh right, did you see anything fun on your recent travels? Grandpa is doing meditating and father refuses to let me leave, so I'm bored to death."


Jiao San laughed. "So Your Highness is bored. Please allow me to accompany Your Highness to play in Untainted Land. On my travels this time, I have gain insight on many new things. Untainted Land is so vast that it's filled with unimaginable things, many of which the sea don't have. This would definitely allow Your Highness to have the utmost fun."


Hearing him speak, a fascinated look appeared on Ao Kun's face. But thinking about his father's orders, he frowned and said, "But Father doesn't allow me to leave the palace, especially to Untainted Land. He says that it's too dangerous. Besides, what if father finds out? I don't want to be punished."


Jiao San smiled and said. "It's simple. We just need a soldier to pretend to be you. Your father is currently assisting your ancestor in his meditation. He won't realize you're away. As for any potential danger, don't worry about it. You have high cultivation and powerful magic weapons protecting you. And with the Dragon Tribe's prestige across the four seas and eight lands, who will dare lay a hand on you, Your Highness?"


Ao Kun listened and clapped his hands in agreement. He said, "Okay. We'll do as you say." Right after he finished, he pointed at a soldier and turned that soldier into a clone of himself. "Listen up. Stay here and don't talk to anyone. If you're found out, be careful of your head." The soldier heard it and hurriedly said yes.


With everything set, Ao Kun followed Jiao San and left the East Sea Dragon Palace, flying towards Untainted Land. The same scene was happening in the royal families of the other two tribes. More or less, they all left their land and headed towards the lands of the other two tribes for various reasons of playing, sightseeing, showing off their own tribe prowess, treasure hunt, and so on.


But soon after, news of deaths was relayed home one by one. The higher ups of the tribes were furious and found out the deaths were caused by the other two tribes. Even the leaders were disrupted in their meditation. The relationship of the three tribes was destroyed in the blink of an eye, and war could erupt at any given moment.


In the West Demon Lair, Luohou received reports of success from his subordinates and said, "Good! Good! Good! Good job. There are absolutely no loopholes. After the death of so many descendants, I'd like to see how they'll be able to stay out of it. Now the leaders are no longer meditating. It looks like an earthshaking war will be erupting soon."


Balrog saw Luohou rejoicing and reported, "My Lord, the three tribes have now deemed the deaths of their descendants are the work of the other two tribes. According to the latest news from our men placed in the Dragon Tribe, Ancestor of Dragon and Ao Tian are leading the troops targeting the Phoenix and Kylin tribes respectively. New changes in the situation will be reported within a few days."


After rejoicing, Luohou calmed down and said, "Alright, since the first step of our plan is a success, then we can start our next step. This is also the most important step for us to reign over Untainted Land, so we must work carefully. Don't be hasty, or all our hard work will be in vain." His minions replied, "We'll follow Your Highness Lord of Devils' decree. We'll do it carefully."


True enough, in just a few days, war erupted between the three tribes. They fought viciously, with the air in Untainted Land quickly becoming foul and the evil spirit of heaven and earth thickening. Minghe's Blood Sea expanded daily and quickly, which showed how fiercely the three tribes fought.


In Mount Yujing, the old taoist was still the same. It seemed like he did not budge even a little over tens of thousands of year. Looking at the thick evil spirit of the heaven and earth, he could not help sighing. "Pity, pity. The three tribes are already in the midst of a tribulation, and yet they still don't repent. Their luck has gone downwards, and there'll be no going back. Looks like Luohou had made his move. I, Hongjun, must get ready as well." This old taoist would later be known as the Ancestor Hongjun in the near future.


In this extreme tribulation, the Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix and Kylin appeared to be the main characters. In fact, Hongjun and Luohou were the ones to experience the tribulation. At the end of it, Hongjun and Luohou would battle it out. The battle would decide who would be the Way of the Origin.


Minghe was of course aware of the battle of the three tribes, as well as the real reason for this battle. Luohou played a nice hand of sowing discord and infernality. He would definitely be a first-class actor in the modern world. The Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix, and Kylin were all played by him. He definitely lived up to his name—Luohou, the Lord of Devils, dignified in his generation.


In the war, Minghe did not just stand by and watch in Blood Sea. His Clones of Blood God and Blood God Doppelganger had started to make their move. The battle had only begun and their foundation was still firm. It was not yet a good time for Minghe to rob their treasure vault.


But Minghe did not give up on the bodies of the fallen members of the three tribes, and robbed their treasure vaults of the Scute, Beast, and Fowl Tribes as well. The main strengths of these tribes were sent to the war zone by the three tribes, leaving their strongholds empty, so it was a good chance for Minghe to act.


Though most of the good items had been plundered by the three tribes, the remaining items were things that would lessen as time passed in Untainted Land. It might be useful to save them for the future. Moreover the dead bodies of the Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix and Kylin were excellent materials for refining weapons. Though they were no use for Minghe, perhaps his future disciples and descendants might need them.
