202: Chen Changsheng recruited and subdued both clans!
Leaving the Peach Orchard, Chen Changsheng and Chuanwen climbed all the way up along the iron chains.
"Did the two tribes say when they would be coming over?"
Chen Changsheng asked Chen Chuanwen; during this time, Chuanwen had been responsible for communicating with the two tribes.
"They'll arrive tomorrow!"
Chen Chuanwen said to Chen Changsheng, who nodded. The two tribes were moving quickly; after agreeing to come out, they were arriving so soon!
"Wait for it. Once they arrive tomorrow, Lin Tianlong's good days will be over!"
Chen Changsheng said with a smile, then led Chuanwen back to the Courtyard House, quietly waiting for the arrival of the elites from the two tribes.
The next day, the sun rose over the mountains.
A group of figures suddenly appeared at the foot of Jade Dragon Peak. Chen Changsheng was drinking tea in the courtyard when he heard the servant's report. He was delighted, knowing it must be the people from the two tribes.
Chen Changsheng personally walked down the hill and, as expected, saw two groups of people led by Shi Wuyou and the Grand Priest walking up.
"Haha, Seniors, you've moved quite fast!"
Chen Changsheng hurried over and cupped his hands to them with a smile!
"I'm not in a hurry, but the key is that the Old Poisoner can't wait. He can't sleep a wink as long as he hasn't retrieved his family's Sacred Artifact!"
Shi Wuyou chuckled, teasing the Grand Priest of the Five Poisons Tribe. The Grand Priest snorted coldly and glared at Shi Wuyou.
"Where is that Lin Tianlong? I'm going to kill him!"
The Grand Priest was indeed impatient; his first words were about taking down Lin Tianlong. Chen Changsheng quickly waved his hand with a smile and said:
"The Grand Priest is indeed resolute and swift. Lin Tianlong won't escape; I've specifically had people keep an eye on him. Why don't you two Seniors take a look at the place I've found for you to settle down?"
Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Shi Wuyou's eyes lit up. His primary goal this time was to find a place for the Shi Clan to settle outside of Ailao Mountain, so he quickly said with a smile:
"Alright! Let's have a look. Old Poisoner, don't be in such a rush. You've waited all these years; what's another day or two?"
Shi Wuyou threw an arm around the Grand Priest's thin shoulders and pulled him forward. The Grand Priest also wanted to move out and was naturally interested in the settlement Chen Changsheng mentioned, so he didn't resist!
Chen Changsheng led the way, taking the people from the two tribes up the back of Jade Dragon Peak to a cliff.
"Seniors, please look. Below this cliff, the land is fertile and very well-hidden. Aside from my Chen family, no one will know your location, so you won't have to worry about the Great Xuan Dynasty's pursuit!"
"I specifically had someone make an iron chain that leads directly to the bottom of the cliff. As long as one is an Innate Master, they can go up and down freely without any danger. Shall we go down and take a look?"
Chen Changsheng introduced the location below the cliff to the two of them. Shi Wuyou and the Grand Priest nodded together. For them, the primary factor in choosing a settlement was concealment!
After all, there were high bounties on their heads. If they attracted the pursuit of the Great Xuan Dynasty, the two of them were powerful enough to be safe, but the ordinary clansmen would have to be careful!
"Not bad, it's hidden enough. Come on, Old Poisoner, let's go down and see together!"
Shi Wuyou said while nodding, then pulled the Grand Priest and gripped the iron chain, drifting downward!
Chen Changsheng was already used to Shi Wuyou's impatience. He chuckled, not minding it, and followed them down by grabbing the chain.
The three of them landed on a plain of rich, fertile black soil.
"Oh, this land is so fertile! I reckon if we clear it properly, it could even be turned into spirit fields!"
Shi Wuyou was not someone without experience; after all, he came from a great clan and could see the fertility of the land at a glance!
"This place is a plain and lacks the conditions for venomous insects to survive. How will my descendants tame them..."
The Grand Priest frowned. He was different from the Shi Clan. The Shi Clan members were all body temperers who consumed little other than a lot of food; this black soil was perfect for growing spirit rice to feed them. However, the Five Poisons Tribe relied on venomous insects as their main combat strength. Without insects to command, their power would drop by more than half!
"Ah, Grand Priest, what do you think of Man-Killing Bees?"
Seeing the Grand Priest's worried face, a flash of inspiration hit Chen Changsheng. Weren't there tens of thousands of Man-Killing Bees in the Peach Forest?
If the Five Poisons Tribe could command the Man-Killing Bees, they would be the perfect guardian tribe for the Peach Forest!
After all, to protect the source of their venomous insects, they certainly wouldn't let anyone else intrude upon the Peach Forest!
"Man-Killing Bees, the seventh-ranked venomous insect among the world's Mortal-grade Gu. To my tribe, they are like treasures!"
The Grand Priest gave Chen Changsheng a puzzled look. Although he didn't know why Chen Changsheng was asking, he answered honestly.
"To be honest, Senior, there are tens of thousands of Man-Killing Bees in the Peach Forest ahead. If your clansmen have a way, they can naturally command them!"
Chen Changsheng smiled and mentioned the Man-Killing Bees in the Peach Forest. Hearing this, the Grand Priest's eyes lit up. This was a massive Opportunity for their entire tribe!
"Is that true?"
The Grand Priest grabbed Chen Changsheng's arm and asked with a trembling voice.
"It's absolutely true. However..."
Chen Changsheng nodded and then put on a troubled expression.
"However what? If there's any difficulty, speak up and see if I can find a way to solve it."
The Grand Priest quickly followed up. Chen Changsheng was secretly delighted; the Five Poisons Tribe was about to take the bait. From now on, they would be the dedicated guards of Chen Changsheng's peach orchard!
"However, at the end of the Peach Forest is my Chen family's treasure. This swarm of Man-Killing Bees is my family's means of defense against outsiders. If I give them to you, Senior, my family's defensive forces will lose their trump card!"
Chen Changsheng said, intentionally putting on a troubled look. The Grand Priest raised an eyebrow, then gave Chen Changsheng a deep look. After thinking for a while, he said:
"If you let the younger generation of my tribe command the Man-Killing Bees, my Five Poisons Tribe is willing to help you guard that Peach Orchard. As long as my clansmen haven't all perished, we will never let your family's treasure be lost!"
"Haha. It's a deal!"
Hearing the Grand Priest's promise, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but laugh heartily and cupped his hands to him.
Next, Chen Changsheng told the Grand Priest about the danger of the poisonous miasma in the Peach Forest and warned him to be careful. The Grand Priest nodded and headed straight for the Peach Forest without looking back, eager to witness the splendor of the Man-Killing Bees.
"Head of the Chen Family, does my Shi Clan also have to help guard your family's treasure?"
Shi Wuyou chuckled. He had long seen through Chen Changsheng's tricks but simply hadn't spoken up to expose them. Only after the Grand Priest left did he start teasing him!
"Senior Shi, my family has a type of Spirit Fish that can help improve the cultivation speed of Body Tempering Cultivators. If you are willing to help, I will provide it to the Shi Clan for free!"
Chen Changsheng laughed and then brought out another trump card. Shi Wuyou was clearly moved. In truth, he wasn't opposed to serving the Chen family anyway, especially since Chuanwu had inherited his Old Ancestor's Legacy. Now, with the added benefit of the Spirit Fish, he immediately decided to put in effort for the Chen family!
"Since Clan Chief Chen thinks highly of my Shi Clan, it's only right that I watch over the treasure for you!"
Shi Wuyou nodded and said, then the two of them looked at each other and burst into laughter!
