Chapter 165 - The Desert Tribe

In the great desert of Yubei, the Nur Tribe believed that there was no enemy in the North. They did not recognize the five grains and only ate fish and perilla.

It was said that the people of the Central Plains were ignorant, but the people of the tribes in the outer regions were even more ignorant. They didn’t even have a surname in their lives.

Only used a simple name.

Their clothing was also very backward. Some people wore animal skins, while most people wore clothes woven from the most primitive hay.

From this, it could be seen that the status of the clansmen who wore animal skins was relatively higher.

They had always been on guard against outsiders.

“Young master, this group of people is really strange. Why do they keep staring at us?” Cai Lian hid behind He Chuan in fear.

With her current power, all the people of the Nur Clan combined wouldn’t be her opponent. However, she wouldn’t kill innocent people.

More importantly, the look in her eyes showed she was a little scared.

It was as if they wanted to eat people.

“Don’t be afraid, they rarely see outsiders. They are just cautious.” He Chuan was still as indifferent as ever. Cai Lian was still a little scared, and she hugged his arm as she walked forward.

The Nur Tribe was only a small tribe in the desert. The significant tribe was the Xiongnu Tribe. They suddenly emerged and controlled all the tribes in the desert, often attacking the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

They smashed, robbed, burned, raped, and pillaged, all kinds of evil things. They dreamed that one day, they would take over the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The White Lotus Cult had developed from here.

As long as you showed some tricks to fool the tribes in the desert, the leaders of the tribes would regard you as a celestial being and provide you with good food and drinks. Fine wine and delicacies, all kinds of beauties, money, and jewelry, you can choose.

Their degree of ignorance was no better than that of clansmen.

Of course, other than the allure of money and jewelry, there was no need to look at beauty and food.

Wuwuwu!

The bugle call for the tribes to gather sound.

Everyone’s spirits were lifted, and they immediately followed the source of the sound.

That was the place of the leader of the Nur Tribe.

He Chuan and Cai Lian followed at the back of this group of people.

“Is there a festival?” Cai Lian guessed.

A large-scale gathering in the Central Plains was either a war or a large-scale festival.

There was no sound of horse hooves nearby, so it was obviously not a battle between tribes.

“I don’t know much about the history of the Nur Tribe, so I need to see it with my own eyes. It’s better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. This saying is true.” He Chuan shook his head. The Great Zhou Dynasty’s history books only briefly mentioned it and did not have detailed records.

Only when he personally came to see it did he realize that it was far behind than he had imagined.

They didn’t even know how to breed cows and sheep.

A stone altar was built, surrounding a dense crowd of people from the tribe. They knelt on the ground with a pious expressions in their eyes. They were holding their heads in their hands and mumbling something.

On the stone altar, the tribe leader had three strands of wolf hair on his head. There was also a woman wearing a gorgeous animal fur coat. She looked like the tribe leader’s wife.

The couple stood on both sides.

In the middle was a woman in gorgeous clothes, which was similar to the clothes of the White Lotus Cult when they invaded the Central Plains.

They should be the remnants of the White Lotus Cult in the outer realms. When Jue Lengxin was killed, the Imperial Court had besieged the remnants of the White Lotus Cult.

Many sect members ran back to the outer realm.

They relied on their mediocre skills to make a living everywhere. They didn’t dare to go to the more powerful tribes, so they could only find small places like this and prepare to revive.

“The mud originates from the chaos, and the White Cult appears in a Golden Age!” The White Lotus Cult’s followers shouted.

“The mud originates from the chaos!” Everyone in the tribe shouted.

“Should we kill the demons of the White Lotus Cult?” Cai Lian blinked her big eyes. She no longer had any psychological burden in killing bad people.

“It’s good that Lian’er makes the decision. You need to have a scale in your heart!” He Chuan shook his head. He couldn’t be bothered to deal with such an ant-like existence.

There were too many fish that had escaped the net, and he had no interest in clearing them out.

Moreover, the other party hadn’t even reached the inborn realm. He probably didn’t have a high status in the White Lotus Cult, so there was no value in fighting her.

Cai Lian pulled herself back and forth in her heart, not knowing if she should kill the other party.

“Despicable Central Plainsmen! How dare you disrespect the gods! Kneel!” The White Lotus Cult’s followers believed that with his ability and the protection of so many people in his tribe, he would have no problem killing the two Central Plainsmen.

Some people always liked to walk on the road to death.

Just now, Cai Lian was still struggling to decide if she should get rid of the other party, but now, she had the best excuse.

Buzzzzzz!

The Water Autumn Sword at her waist was instantly unsheathed, and the tip of the sword was pointed at the enemy.

This was the sword He Chuan had received from the check-in system as a birthday gift for Cai Lian.

Cai Lian named the sword WaterAutumn Sword, and she would not use it.

“How dare you be disrespectful to the divine envoy! Kill them all!” The tribe leader waved the bone cane in his hand, which should be made of the spine of some large animal.

The warriors of the tribe held their weapons, nocked their most primitive bows, and immediately aimed at He Chuan and his partner.

“Keep her alive and see if she knows anything about the gods.” He Chuan was prepared to make a last resort and ask if the godfiends were in the outer realm.

Just as he finished speaking.

Cai Lian left an afterimage on the spot like a ghost. She used the evil-warding sword technique, and her entire body was so fast that it was blurry.

Other than He Chuan, everyone else could only hear the sound of the sword in the air.

“Ah!”

Screams rose one after another. Cai Lian crossed each one of them in the blink of an eye, and a long wound appeared on the wrists of the tribal warriors, which were holding weapons. Blood slowly flowed out.

The White Lotus Cult’s followers saw that the situation was not good and was about to turn around and escape.

Bang!

Cai Lian kicked her in the butt, and the White Lotus Cult’s members fell flat on their faces.

The Water Autumn Sword was placed on her shoulder and pointed at her neck. Any slight movement would cause blood to splatter on the spot.

“Lady, please spare me!” The disciples of the White Lotus Cult knelt on the ground, their voices trembling.

“My Young Master has something to ask you. Hurry up and get over there.” Seeing that she didn’t even have a backbone, Cai Lian instantly lost interest.

The tribe leader stood in place, not knowing what to do. The Oracle had been defeated.

“Who’s in charge of the White Lotus Cult now?” He Chuan asked the disciple in front of him.

“Your Excellency, the White Lotus Cult has been divided after the death of the leader. No one can take charge of the White Lotus Cult.” The White Lotus Cult’s followers didn’t dare to hide anything, since it wasn’t a secret anyway.

Moreover, the elders had all been killed. The White Lotus Cult only existed in name. It would probably be unable to recover even after a few hundred years.

“Do you know about the rapid growth of strength? ” He Chuan continued to ask.

“I have low position and can’t touch the core, but I heard from the leader above that the White Lotus Cult has a secret chamber. If you want to make a breakthrough, you have to go in. Those who can survive will be able to improve their strength.”

This wasn’t a secret in the White Lotus Cult, but she was too weak to go in and improve her strength.

“How much do you know about Jue Lengxin?”

“I don’t know anything about the Cult Leader. I don’t even know the elders of the cult.”

“You can leave.”

He Chuan noticed that she didn’t reek of blood, so she should be an underling of the White Lotus Cult. She couldn’t be considered evil.
