Chapter 252: The only thing that matters is strength


Whooshing sound…


The mountain breeze blew through the camp, further increasing the tranquility of the camp.


Hundreds of people formed a circle; inside the circle were two corpses and two people standing.


The gazes of Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing slowly swept over everyone, many of whom did not even dare to match their cold gazes.


In the end, Fang and Bai's gazes were fixed on Jia Long and the other caravan leaders.


These people had attacked aggressively, but were immediately shocked by the cultivation level Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing had revealed. Right now, they were in a situation where they could neither retreat nor advance.


With the loss of Ou Yang Gong and Ou Fei, the caravan now had eleven rank three, twenty-seven rank two and thirty-eight rank one Gu Masters.


Their combined strength was naturally greater than Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing.


And yet!


The caravan was just a temporary mix of various groups. This Master Gu was from their respective clans and was usually involved in planning and guarding each other. They will only work together if in a favorable situation.


They have their own interests and are not a united bloc; and have their own way of doing things.


They have different minds and it will not be easy to lead.


Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing displayed a peak stage cultivation of rank three, no doubt they were two formidable figures. Not a single clan could take them down alone, and even if they combined their strength, there would definitely be severe damage to the caravan.


In a moment, Jia Long, Chen Shuang Jin and the other leaders looked at Fang and Bai, before secretly judging each other. None of them wanted to become cannon fodder and instead benefit others.


Moreover, the current situation was a situation where groups of beasts often attacked, everyone in the caravan had difficulty protecting themselves, let alone caring about others.


The outside pressure and worry in the heart made them hesitant.


The corner of Fang Yuan's lips curved into an indistinct smile, their reactions all according to his expectations. Now, it's all up to him.


Although things had improved quickly and he had not communicated with Shang Xin Ci yet, Fang Yuan believed he should be able to sense this opportunity with his intelligence.


Sure enough, the next moment, Shang Xin Ci and Xiao Die walked out of the tent.


“The caravan leader, both of them are my hidden Zhang Clan elders: LORD Hei Tu and LORDBai Yun. “Shang Xin Ci took this opportunity to introduce them.


His voice was not loud, but he was the only one speaking amongst everyone present, so everyone could hear him clearly.


All the caravan leaders had different expressions, while the crowd started thinking of the two names – Hei Tu and Bai Yun.


Shang Xin Ci faintly smiled: “The two kings were on a secret clan mission and coincidentally entered this caravan on the way.”


The caravan leaders looked at each other, all silent.


Since they were hidden elders, even the leader of the Zhang Clan clan might not necessarily know of their existence. Moreover, the secret clan mission meant it was inappropriate to ask their motives.


Shang Xin Ci's two sentences blocked all the questions they wanted to ask.


Of course, even though these words made sense, it was just a one-sided statement from Shang Xin Ci.


The leaders of the caravan were all ingenious, each making their own contemplations in their minds. No one is really sure and the suspicious one is still suspicious.


But whether suspicious or trusting, Fang and Bai's strength was already displayed before them, so there was only one way to end this.


Later then…


“Hahahah, so it is like that. Everyone misunderstood!” Jia Long suddenly laughed, his face showing a warm smile.


He cupped his hands towards Fang and Bai; and sincerely praised them: “I never expected such a great hero to be hidden in our midst. This father and son of the Ou Clan was indeed too unreasonable and their way of doing things was also questionable. I've persuaded them many times before, but it's a pity they didn't put it in their hearts. Their execution today could be said to be just a desert alone. “


These words immediately summed up the matter.


The other vice leaders also responded at this time, cupping their hands at Fang and Bai while cursing Jia Long inwardly in shamelessness.


“Zhang Clan is famous and worthy of being one of the top clans in our Southern Border!”


“I Lei Gong Cheng from Lei Clan, it is my luck to be able to meet you both.”


“It is our great fortune that you two have exterminated evil for us!”


The vice-leaders smiled fully as they said nonsense, twisting the logic at will.


The assassins become the correct representatives while the father and son of the Ou clan become the perpetrators of the crime. As for the other Gu Masters of the Ou clan, there were only three of them left, who were concerned about their unsightly expressions? After all, Ou Yang Gong was dead, without a rank three Gu Master, who would dare to dare? Who can defend them?


“Basic , still haven't greeted both masters!?” One of the vice leaders shouted while pretending to be displeased.


“We salute LORD Hei Tu and LORDBai Yun. “More than twenty people immediately bowed and greeted Fang and Bai.


The whole camp was back into a commotion.


“We have suffered a great loss and are on the brink of crisis, it is our good luck to meet you two. Please, I invite you to the tent to discuss further our situation.” Jia Long walked over and invited them sincerely.


Seeing this scene, Jia Long instantly raised Shang Xin Ci's status in his mind.


Shang Xin Ci slightly shook her head and spoke in a subtle tone: “I'm tired, it's better for the caravan leaders to discuss together.”


Fang Yuan inwardly praised his intelligence, this was only the time to take a step back to make an opportunity for greater progress later.


He nodded and said in agreement: “All of our Zhang Clan items have been donated, we are not interested in this and will not interfere.”


“This..” Jia Long hesitated and was about to persuade but Shang Xin Ci had already turned around.


Fang and Bai also left in an imposing manner without giving Jia Long a chance, leaving this scene for others to deal with.


“Alright, everything is back to work now. The camp still needs to be strengthened. It was fortunate that two rank three peak stage Gu Masters appeared. And the people of the Ou Clan, clean these two corpses.”


Only three Gu Masters were left from the Ou Clan running. One rank two middle level and two rank one Gu Masters; tears streamed down their faces as they held back their hatred, lowered their heads and carried the corpses of the father and son.


The crowd slowly dispersed. The leaders of the high-spirited caravan were unable to maintain their composure any longer as they returned to the tent, their expressions fluctuating – as hypocritical smiles disappeared from their faces – into solemnity, confusion, confusion, indifference and worry.


Jia Long slowly sat down in the main seat and spoke in a grim voice: “Sudden appearance of two Gu Masters, what do you think?”


“Hmph, these are two lawless madmen, killing people in public!”


“Ou that pitiful Yang Gong, we just got here sitting with him a moment ago.”


“I feel the origins of both are very suspicious!”


“What gild is hidden, it is just a one-sided statement of that Zhang Clan girl. From the behavior of both of them, they are very likely to become the demon Master Gu.”


“True, moments like Master Gu the demon path entering the caravan was common. I'm sure the Zhang Clan girl was threatened by them.”


Jia Long nodded: “My thoughts are also almost the same as yours. The proud personality of the Zhang Clan and their strength are all known to us, how can there be hidden elders? But, both of them were ruthless and were also rank three peak stages…. “


“Ya, this is troublesome.”


“Both don't look old, but have already reached the peak stage of rank three. Talent like that..”.


“Hahaha, everything has its rewards and disadvantages. I think it's good too. Their strength will greatly increase our strength.” A deputy leader spoke.


“The most important thing is how can we use it to our advantage? Just now, I took the initiative to invite them to discuss this issue and make it work for us, but it ended in failure.” Jia Long sighed.


“Hmph, don't lend them their strength? When a group of beasts attacked, who could do nothing? Back then, it wasn't up to them.” A vice leader spoke in an unhappy tone.


“This issue needs to be properly considered. Master Gu Devils are arrogant and unyielding, trying to force them only with external pressure will not work, they need to be suppressed from inside and out.”


“Hmm? I'm not sure what Brother Gong Sun suggests?”


“My advice is simple, but I'm afraid you might not like it; give some stuff to both of them. They by themselves will step forward to protect their goods when the time comes.”


Camp immediately became quiet.


Jia Long looked around before speaking: “This suggestion is good! Humans die for wealth and birds die for food; without the support of the clan, Master Gu demons are very thirsty for cultivation resources. Moreover, you don't need to worry about incurring losses, have you forgotten the Ou Clan? “


The contemplating gaze of the group immediately began to brighten.


The sudden appearance of Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing had made the Zhang Clan an influential force in the caravan, while the Ou Clan was thrown by them into the weakest position.


The father and son of the Ou Clan are dead, the remaining two to three small seeds in the Ou Clan group are nothing to worry about. The items held by the Ou Clan seemed to be quite large. . .


  . . .


“Uncle .. I have an important issue to tell you!” Chen Xin constantly paid attention to the tent, and after the discussion inside was over, she approached the leader of the Chen Clan's caravan, Chen Shuang Jin.


Chen Shuang Jin grabbed her hand: “I know what you want to say. This is not the right place, let's go.”


The two returned to their own tents and after making sure no one eavesdropped, Chen Xin spoke: “Uncle, do you remember me reporting to you about how Zhang Zhu was killed?”


Chen Shuang Jin's face was grim as he nodded his head: “Zhang Zhu was killed by someone with a bone spear. And today, Hei Tu and Bai Yun also used bone spears!”


“That's him! Uncle, the two of them are hiding some unexpected motives, very cruel. We need to make their crimes known and combine our powers to kill this danger early.” Chen Xin was agitated.


Chen Shuang Jin slowly shook his head and sighed.


Chen Xin was confused: “Uncle, you disagree?”


“Not that I disagree, but it's not worth.”


“I see with my own eyes, we have proof. As long as we announce the matter of them killing Zhang Zhu, no one will tolerate this traitorous traitor!”


“Hmph, evidence? There's a witness statement but what about the evidence?” Chen Shuang Jin sneered, “Even if we have material proof, what's the point? My niece, just evidence that's pointless. The main thing is whether you have the power! Right before, they killed the father and son of the Ou Clan, you also saw that and others saw it too. We are all witnesses, but is there any point? We are all from different clans, but with us having different motives, how can we deal with these two enemies? “


“Uncle, are we going to ignore them just like that? They're too dangerous, I can't even sleep well. What if they knew that I knew ..” The more Chen Xin spoke, she became even more afraid.


“Hmph, you think too much of yourself. You think they don't know about you? Maybe they already know or maybe they've seen you but didn't move. Why that? Because you don't have to worry! Chen Xin, stop being naive. In this cold world, the only thing that mattered was strength! ” Chen Shuang Jin let out a long sigh.


Chen Xin remained dazed on the spot; she clenched her fists, her uncle's words smashed into her young heart and she was speechless for a long time.
