Chapter 478: Chapter 163: The Strong Possess Everything, Grand Elder Zhenyan Yuan

In that instant when the evil wind approached.

His body retreated, but the spear advanced.

As the spear moved forward, it suddenly jerked and with a "snap" sound, it deflected Chi Yan Cang’er’s spear...

The spear, like a venomous python, instantly struck Zhenyan Cang’er’s chest and then pierced through.

Swish!

Flesh scattered.

Yet, it seemed as if the spearhead hit a bone, stopping short of piercing through.

Li Yuan single-handedly lifted the warrior, holding him high before the bonfire.

"I lost..." Zhenyan Cang’er lowered his head.

The whole place fell silent.

Everyone watched in disbelief.

No one could believe that Zhenyan Cang’er was defeated with a single move.

In the distance, the clan leader watched Li Yuan thoughtfully, and suddenly laughed heartily, "Cheer for the victor! He is Zhenyan Xue’s man and a member of our Zhenyan Clan!!"

This shout tore through the slightly awkward silence of the moment, declaring Li Yuan’s status as a clan member.

Instantly, the clan members, their minds filled with muscle, began to cheer.

But Li Yuan felt no joy in this victory.

Because, to him, this was not a battle at all.

He casually lowered the spear, letting the man adorned with wolf fangs roll to the ground, while in the distance... two tall, fair-skinned women hurried over, crouching by Zhenyan Cang’er, concernedly checking his injuries.

Unfortunately, Zhenyan Cang’er waved them off repeatedly, shouting, "You no longer belong to me, go away, go away!"

These minor commotions were drowned in the great wave of sound.

Once the cheers subsided, the clan leader looked at Zhenyan Xue and said, "Xiao Xue, go occupy Cang’er’s tent. His tent is larger and closer to the fire, you and your man can live there from now on."

Zhenyan Xue, long accustomed to winning, ran joyously to the fallen Zhenyan Cang’er, grinning, "Everything in your tent is mine now, don’t come back."

Zhenyan Cang’er, clutching his wound, grunted, "You don’t need to say it."

Having said that, he turned to Li Yuan, a note of inexplicable reverence in his tone, "What do you call that spear move you just used?"

Li Yuan paused, confused.

It was just a random thrust.

Why bother naming it?

Except for cultivation skills marked with a question on the panel, he rarely names anything else anymore.

"Unwilling to share?"

Zhenyan Cang’er lowered his head.

Li Yuan said, "A spear for killing doesn’t need a name."

He opened his mouth, wanting to say "I don’t want your things," but seeing Zhenyan Cang’er’s obvious acceptance, and seeing Zhenyan Xue already directing those women like a lady of wealth, he said nothing.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do...

Then the clan leader suddenly said, "Wang Mu’Er, come with me."

Li Yuan agreed.

The two of them walked away from the crowd of clan members and entered the main tent.

The clan leader sent away the women in the main tent, then patted a large chair, brushing off the warm animal fur on it, saying, "Sit."

Li Yuan sat down.

The clan leader said, "Zhenyan Xue, like most of the clan, knows little about the world outside,

but I ventured outside in my youth, and even stayed in the Social World Sect for two years.

So, I know, you could not be the son of some hunter."

They locked eyes for several seconds, then Li Yuan said, "But I am Zhenyan Xue’s man."

The clan leader asked, "What is your purpose?"

"I want to see the Immortal Tomb."

"If that’s true, it’s a small matter." The clan leader grabbed a nearby horn cup, poured himself a milky drink, took two gulps, then said, "But since you are part of the Zhenyan Clan, I hope you can join us to conquer the outside cities...

I’ve learned that people outside are very weak, simply no match for us.

Given this, I want change, I want my clan members to be able to live in outside cities, return after a period, and when they are near death, go to the Immortal Tomb to rest."

"If you knew this, why haven’t you done it before?"

"Because I only knew, but did not know enough, coupled with the clan’s unfamiliarity with the outside, there’s strong resistance.

But if a strong outsider like you leads the way, we can achieve what we couldn’t before.

How about it?

If you are willing, I can even grant you the surname of Zhenyan Clan, making you truly one of us, not just a foreign spouse.

I know, once you outsiders reach a certain realm, you become long-lived...

Whereas we, no matter how strong, can only live a hundred years.

Once you have the Zhenyan surname, you are eligible to inherit the position of clan leader.

After me, if there’s none stronger than you, you will be the clan leader."

"What about the other clans on this Frozen Soil?

If you leave here, it won’t be easy to return, will it?"

"I’m not the only clan leader with this thought, something seems to be happening in this vast expanse of Frozen Soil that forces us to prepare an escape."

"What’s happening?" Li Yuan pressed on.

The clan leader was silent for a moment, then said, "Once you possess the Zhenyan surname, I’ll tell you."

"I understand, I’ll consider it first."

"Alright... Tonight, go enjoy the spoils of victory.

In this world, for strong individuals like you and I, we should have everything."

Wearing a bone crown, the clan leader smiled, raising a glass to Li Yuan from afar.

...

...

Li Yuan walked out of the main tent.

Soon someone led him to his tent.

It was a tent settlement, bordered by a haphazard wooden fence that could serve as a boundary, with four tents inside.

Three of them were originally fixed in place, and another had just been moved. A robust young girl with animal skin wrapped around her waist and a somewhat doll-faced look was hammering iron nails with a sledgehammer, fixing the tent in its new spot.
