The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 2538 - 2513: Heishan Tribe!

When the old man flashed in front of Lin Bai, he clasped his fists with a smile and asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai showed no expression, but he was somewhat touched in his heart: "Does he take me for a warrior of the Broken Sword Tribe?"

Lin Bai chuckled lightly and asked, "How did you see that?"

The old man looked down at the flying sword beneath Lin Bai’s feet and said with a smile, "Haha, within the entire Kunxu, only the warriors of the Broken Sword Tribe can ride swords like you do!"

"I’m just curious though, whenever a warrior of the Broken Sword Tribe passes by, the air is filled with a bloody aura, detectable for miles, yet your scent seems quite faint!"

The old man said with a laugh.

Lin Bai’s eyes twirled cunningly, and he replied with a smile, "I am indeed a warrior of the Broken Sword Tribe. As for why the scent on me is faint, that’s not something you should ask about."

At that moment, Lin Bai also noticed this old man’s cultivation was merely at the Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm.

"Yes, yes, it’s my old mouth that spoke too much." The old man immediately apologized, "I don’t know what business a friend from the Broken Sword Tribe has here, and if there’s anything this old man can do to assist?"

From the old man’s respectful attitude, Lin Bai understood that the Broken Sword Tribe must have a standing and strength among the 108 Tribes of Kunxu that surpasses other ordinary tribes.

Lin Bai said coldly, "I was chasing a Flying Sky Eagle, but didn’t expect that beast to lead me so far astray, spinning me around until I’m confused."

"Where is this place?"

"How far is it from the Broken Sword Tribe?"

Lin Bai asked coldly.

The old man hurriedly said, "This place is the Heishan Mountain Range, still half a month’s journey from the territory of the Broken Sword Tribe!"

Lin Bai frowned and said, "Heishan Mountain Range?"

The old man said, "That’s right, this is Black Mountain!"

"Our Heishan Tribe has lived and thrived here for generations!"

Lin Bai frowned and murmured, "Heishan Tribe?"

Seeing that Lin Bai seemed to have never heard of this name, the old man smiled wryly and said, "Young brother, coming from such a big tribe as the Broken Sword Tribe, it’s natural you wouldn’t know of the Heishan Tribe."

"Our Heishan Tribe ranks at the bottom among the 108 Tribes of Kunxu, with few people and weak warriors, surviving mainly by collecting spiritual medicines within Kunxu!"

"The warriors in our tribe aren’t combative, only a few have formed a guard team."

"Thus, it’s understandable you’ve never heard of the Heishan Tribe."

The old man said with a smile.

"I see, I thought the name Heishan Tribe sounded familiar, but I couldn’t recall." Lin Bai said with a bitter smile.

The old man said, "Young brother, this place is far from the Broken Sword Tribe, you might find it hard to return today. My tribe is not far from here, if you don’t mind, you can come to my tribe to rest for a while!"

"Once you recover your spiritual power, you can leave without delay!"

"Moreover, it’s rather eerie around our Heishan Tribe every night. If you don’t make it out of the Heishan Mountain Range before sunset, you might face dangers!"

The old man said to Lin Bai with heartfelt concern.

Lin Bai smiled and asked, "Old man, what do you mean by this?"

The old man quickly replied, "I mean no offense, it’s just that there’s something strange about our Heishan Tribe. Warriors who remain outside the tribe at night end up dead the next day!"

"Thus, even warriors of our Heishan Tribe must return to the tribe before sunset to ensure safety!"

Lin Bai frowned and said, "Is there such a strange occurrence?"

The old man smiled and said, "I assure you I’m not exaggerating. Whether you decide to come to my tribe is up to you. I understand the warriors of the Broken Sword Tribe are very powerful, if you can make it out of the Heishan Mountain Range at night, I won’t insist you stay!"

Lin Bai lowered his head and contemplated silently.

Originally, Lin Bai had come out to hunt Li Ge, but since Li Ge hasn’t been found, Lin Bai didn’t want to return to the Li Family now either.

Weighing the pros and cons, Lin Bai nodded and said, "Alright then, if it’s not a bother, I’d like to rest at the Heishan Tribe for a while!"

The old man smiled and said, "Good, please wait a moment, young brother, we are just about to finish collecting spiritual medicines and will return to the Heishan Tribe shortly!"

Lin Bai silently nodded.

Then, the old man returned to the cliff to continue gathering spiritual medicines with other warriors of the Heishan Tribe.

Lin Bai descended from the flying sword, landing on the mountain top, watching them collect herbs.

Lin Bai noticed that among the warriors on the cliff, only the old man was older, while the others were mostly young men and women.

Upon the old man’s return, he said something to them, and the young men and women occasionally glanced towards Lin Bai while gathering herbs!

Whenever their eyes met Lin Bai’s, they would quickly turn away in shock.

Lin Bai watched them gather herbs in silence.

After about half an hour, as the sun slanted westward, the old man’s group of herbal gatherers ascended from the cliff.

The old man approached Lin Bai, clasping his fists with a smile, "Young brother, we’ve finished collecting and can return to the tribe now!"

"By the way, I am Fang Dehao, the leader of the ninth squad of the Heishan Tribe’s herbal gathering team!"

"The young ones following me are all members of our ninth squad!"

The old man said with a smile and then addressed the warriors behind him, "This young brother is a warrior from the Broken Sword Tribe, here hunting, now invited to rest at our Heishan Tribe as night approaches!"

Lin Bai clasped his fists and said, "I am... Dongfang Bai!"

"Sorry for the trouble."

The young men and women looked at Lin Bai excitedly, some young women blushed with shy colors at their cheeks while glancing at Lin Bai.

The young men, on the other hand, showed fervor and admiration towards Lin Bai.

Lin Bai couldn’t understand why they reacted this way.

Fang Dehao smiled slightly, "Brother Dongfang, let’s go!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly, following beside Fang Dehao, heading towards the Heishan Tribe.

The Heishan Tribe, among the 108 Tribes of Kunxu, ranks at the bottom, nearly the last of them.

The warriors in the tribe aren’t good at fighting and live off gathering herbs year-round.

Interestingly, the Heishan Mountain Range, where the Heishan Tribe dwells, constantly brings forth spiritual medicines despite the passage of time. Yet, even after such long years, the Heishan Tribe hasn’t fully harvested the spiritual medicines in the Heishan Mountain Range!

But there’s another strange phenomenon about the Heishan Mountain Range!

Whenever night falls, any living creatures within the Heishan Tribe would die tragically, turning into dry corpses.

It seems as if a mysterious force shrouds this mountain range.

Because of this anomaly, other tribes look down upon the area, granting the Heishan Tribe a foothold to live and thrive!

Thus, the Heishan Tribe manages to survive!
