Chapter 2344 A Plan

Fang Heng sneered inwardly.

“Abe Akaya!”

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!”

Immediately after completing the ritual, Abe Akaya swiftly returned to combat mode, revealing its menacing side!

The earth churned as dense blood spikes shot up from the ground, swiftly curling towards the guards.

“Retreat!!”

The guards of the Wood tribe and Leaf tribe immediately stepped back.

Until they were safely out of Abe Akaya’s attack domain, everyone looked towards Fang Heng standing in front of the Great Hall, momentarily silenced.

The inheritance of the tree spirit tribe…

It had unexpectedly fallen into the hands of the vampires, who had appeared from nowhere?

According to the longstanding rules set by the tree spirit tribe, theoretically, they should acknowledge this clan as the new leader of the tree spirit tribe.

But…

Fang Heng looked at the crowd, a hint of disdain on his face, and spoke in a cold voice, “Everyone, now that I have successfully obtained the inheritance recognition of the first-generation sacred tree and passed the trial, naturally, I am the new leader of the tree spirit tribe. Why aren’t you kneeling before me?”

The onlookers stared at Fang Heng, but no one spoke.

Fang Heng’s expression turned more mocking, “Hmm, it seems you’re unwilling to admit it? Talking about rules all the time, but in the end, have you forgotten the inheritance left by your ancestors?”

An elder from the Root tribe spoke sternly, “Fang Heng! Don’t be too presumptuous!”

Fang Heng shrugged, shaking his head. “Fine, I’ll give you some time to discuss. Let me know where to find me once you’ve reached a decision.”

With a cold glance at everyone, Fang Heng swiftly stepped into a secondary space projection.

Go!

Escape quickly!

Facing all four major tribes at once?

Not necessary.

It’s a waste of time and could easily go wrong.

Better to run first and deal with them one by one later!

No one could escape from him!

Until Fang Heng departed, the members of the tree spirit tribe and the four major tribes stood still, their expressions varied.

The events had unfolded so suddenly that even now, the tribes were somewhat bewildered.

Many were just beginning to sort out their thoughts.

So…

The human who had wielded that eerie lifeblood power was actually one of them—a special tribe known as vampires.

Deep down, no one wanted such a suddenly emerging tribe to become the new leader of the tree spirit tribe.

But it was Fang Heng who had first completed the cultivation of the sacred tree and gained recognition from the first-generation sacred tree.

What to do!

In the midst of silence, Jeno, the Great Elder of the Soul tribe, shook his head and sighed heavily. “I didn’t expect that after all our struggles, we would end up benefiting an outsider.”

“I refuse!”

Tam Sangga scanned the crowd and declared angrily, “Anyone can be the leader of the tree spirit tribe, but not him!”

“I agree with Tam Sangga,” Senzo added, nodding with a glint of cold determination in his eyes.

The Great Elder of the Root tribe sighed with resignation. “Rare that the two major tribes are in agreement. However, even if you deny it, the vampires have indeed passed the trial of the first-generation sacred tree.”

Senzo shook his head. “Without a formal succession ritual, they have no right to command us to do anything.”

Jeno, the Great Elder of the Soul tribe, asked, “Senzo, what are you suggesting?”

“Isn’t Fang Heng seeking the legitimate inheritance of the tree spirit tribe, seeking our recognition?” Senzo replied. “Fine, tell him this: if he wants our recognition, he must first uncover the truth behind the downfall of our tribes and completely eliminate the pollution source.”

“Otherwise, our four major tribes will never recognize the existence of vampires. Fang Heng will never become the new leader of our tree spirit tribe.”

Tam Sangga listened, raising an eyebrow. This approach seemed feasible to him.

Yes! This could work!

Fang Heng thinks he’s so capable? Let him deal with the pollution!

Tam Sangga glanced at Senzo with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

In terms of conspiracies and schemes, Senzo was exceedingly suitable.

Jeno, the Great Elder of the Soul tribe, rubbed his beard, his brow furrowing deeply.

Back then, it had cost the entire tribe’s strength just to temporarily seal the source of pollution.

Could Fang Heng really accomplish such a monumental task?

The Great Elder of the Root tribe nodded and said, “Indeed, this approach is feasible. I believe there are still doubts among us about the downfall of our tribe. If Fang Heng truly has the ability to resolve the pollution left behind, then our Root tribe agrees to recognize Fang Heng’s vampires as our trusted leader.”

“Hahaha! Him?” Tam Sangga laughed heartily. “The tree spirit tribe almost got destroyed because of him. He alone thinks he can solve everything? Dream on!”

“Soul tribe, as the former leaders of the tree spirit tribe, what do you say?” Great Elder Jeno pondered for a moment and nodded, “We, the Soul tribe, can communicate with Fang Heng regarding this matter. However, whether he is willing to accept this condition…”

“Humph! If he doesn’t accept it, then forget about becoming a leader!”

…

After returning to the Federation, Fang Heng once again hid himself temporarily.

To his surprise, after publicly revealing his vampire bloodline identity, his reputation and support among the tree spirit tribe skyrocketed. The support from other clans directly rose to 7%!

This was a massive increase from nothing.

Well, with just 7% support, completing the mission seemed almost impossible.

As for the next step…

He had to play hardball!

Fang Heng already had a plan in mind.

He would divide the tree spirit tribe’s major clans, gradually infiltrating and eliminating all clans that did not recognize his status as their leader.

He would continue until he achieved a mission completion rate of 100%.

Hmm, he would start with the Leaf tribe!

Of course, for safety’s sake, he needed to communicate with the Federation first to join forces against the Leaf tribe.

Back at Ji Haiting Corporation headquarters, Fang Heng immediately initiated contact with the Federation.

Today’s battle during the day seemed like a victory for the Federation, as they pushed back the tree spirit tribe. However, the conflict had spread onto Federation territory, resulting in significant losses of manpower and resources.

Winning was one thing; it was a victory for the Federation.

There was a simmering anger within the Federation. Upon hearing that Fang Heng was preparing to attack the Leaf tribe again, the Federation responded with great enthusiasm. Eventually, both sides agreed to launch a final assault on the Leaf tribe’s habitat at five o’clock tomorrow morning.

The objective was to deplete the Leaf tribe’s living forces and erase their habitat from the map.

Fang Heng had already summoned a group of Lickers to cultivate proliferators in the primeval forest, ready to flatten the area at midnight.

After discussing some details of the attack with the federal team, Fang Heng left the meeting room and headed back to rest for a while.

It had been a relentless period of round-the-clock activity, sustained by the stimulating effects of coffee from in-game items and his physical attributes.

As he finally relaxed, a wave of extreme fatigue washed over him.

…

Wary of any unforeseen circumstances, Fang Heng decided not to log off this time. Instead, he found a VIP lounge within the Ji Haiting Research Institute to rest briefly.

Just as he returned to his room without even closing the door, Mo Jiawei knocked and entered.

“Mr. Fang, representatives from the Soul tribe are here. They want to discuss the matter of the new leader of the tree spirit tribe with you face-to-face.”

The Soul tribe?

Fang Heng’s mind raced as he asked, “Who?”
