As for whether it can bear the load, what does it matter to me? If it can't, then death is deserved. If it can, let's see if it can present something good; otherwise, the word is still "die!"

"The main character has discovered us. Let's take action!"

"Boom"

Seeing that these people ignored his words and instead attacked him, Kelly was instantly furious. He was a member of the Ghost Fighting Tribe, and within his tribe's territory, there were actually people who ignored and even attacked him. Was this looking down on him?

In fact, Kelly was also identifying whether there were those he couldn't afford to offend among them. Although he belonged to the Ghost Fighting Tribe, there were still Heavenly King Level warriors in the Sunset Mountain Range.

With cultivation reaching the Heavenly King Level, it's in a different league than ordinary people. Even Kelly wouldn't disrespect those with higher cultivation than himself, after all, if you provoke them, it doesn't matter which tribe you belong to, death is death.

"How is this possible?"

As soon as he made contact, Kelly looked incredulously at the Ming Gu in front of him: "Your aura, how can it be like this? You are not from our Heavenly Gift Realm!"

"Such a familiar feeling. I remember now, people of the Yellow Springs Rebirth!"

"But how could there be people of the Yellow Springs Rebirth here?"

Kelly's eyes suddenly widened, somewhat incredulous, "You are from the Four Seasons Tribe!"

"Bang"

Seeing his identity exposed, Ming Gu's palm revealed a black light ring, and he said calmly, "You're quite clever, but it's a pity you don't know the inside story. Did you offend someone? At this time, you haven't even been called back?"

The black light ring had a strong corrosive power, and its generated suction was not something Kelly could break free from.

As he watched his body being gradually wiped out by the light ring and heard Ming Gu's words, a strong hatred filled Kelly's eyes as he roared, "Damn old thief Wu Ze, just for sleeping with your granddaughter, you dare to do this!"

"Bang"

Watching Kelly's head turn into fragments, Ming Gu shook his head with some dissatisfaction, "As expected of the Barbaric Land, even my divine skills are suppressed."

"Was it just for romantic debts that you were sent to die as cannon fodder?"

"That's pretty normal though!"

Ming Gu thought of the reason he joined the army and couldn't help but feel a bit sympathetic for the deceased Kelly.

"If you had said it earlier, I could have spared your life to be my slave, what a pity!"

"Speed up, deal with it quickly, we don't need any live ones!"

"Yes, Captain!"

These people of the Yellow Springs Rebirth were extremely powerful, not only stronger in body compared to the warriors of the Heavenly Gift Realm, but they could also use divine skills—true combat methods, unlike Chen Jiuge's mere fire-starting and water-pouring tricks of the True Realm cultivators.

"Next, let's clean up the path leading out of the Sunset Mountain Range!"

As for the Sunset Mountain Range itself, it's not worth mentioning. Although the Sunset Mountain Range is not small, the Three Lives Stone Lineage covets not just the Sunset Mountain Range, but also the Naihe Lineage, which secretly trades with the Ghost Fighting Tribe.

In fact, the reason the great powers of the Yellow Springs Realm did not directly destroy or conquer the Heavenly Gift Realm has a rather absurd reason—the Yellow Springs Realm itself lacks resource supply.

The upper class is licentious and lives exceedingly luxurious lives, while the ordinary residents at the bottom struggle even for simple daily meals. The disparity is greater than the difference between heaven and earth.

To maintain their luxurious living conditions, these powerful and influential nobles developed a world detector. Its sole function is to scout other worlds, maintaining their extravagant lifestyle through constant plunder.

But worlds have limits, and once overexploited, they will be destroyed.

Coincidentally, when they discovered the Heavenly Gift Realm, the first batch of small worlds conquered by the Yellow Springs Realm had been drained dry and became completely waste worlds.

The resource-rich Heavenly Gift Realm was targeted, and despite their greed for its resources, wanting to pocket everything, they restrained their frantic desires for continuously obtaining resources.

As for why they suddenly want to accelerate the invasion of the Heavenly Gift Realm now, it's because the Yellow Springs Realm discovered a new small world and no longer needs to be as cautious as before, fearing anything happening to the Heavenly Gift Realm.

"I wonder if, after the channel for trading with the Ghost Fighting Tribe is severed, the women of the Naihe Lineage will still be able to hold on."

"Perhaps, I might also have a chance to taste those delicate women of the Naihe Lineage, something truly to look forward to!"

.......

"Clan Leader, this is the death list of the Xing Yan Legion during the expansion period, as well as the list of captured young adults!" Akam handed over a scroll of bamboo slips.

"Hmm? Acquired so easily, are you sure it's genuine?" Chen Jiuge was a bit surprised; how long had it been? Counting the time, it's as if Xing Yan handed over the list as soon as the Seven Kill Army arrived.

Akam scratched his head, "Actually, I don't know either. Once we got to Xing Yan's side, he just gave us the list."

"By the way, Xing Yan also wanted me to convey a message to the Clan Leader!"

"I, Xing Yan, am not one to break my promises. However, everything has reasons beyond my control."

"Interesting, these don't seem like the words warriors as crude as him would say. I remember Xing Yan took in two disciples from the True Realm, who seemed to come from the Holy Land; it must be them who taught him!"

"But since Xing Yan himself doesn't have any ideas, or rather is still caught in a dilemma, then this matter should be others behind him instructing him."

"There's not many in the entire Star Moon Tribe who could influence Xing Yan, it seems some people in the Five Stars Remnant are not too stable."

"Any recent movements from Aphran?"

Chen Jiuge turned his head and asked behind him.

From the shadows, a hand extended, handing Chen Jiuge a scroll recording some intelligence about Aphran in the Star Moon Tribe.

"Shopping, eating, yet no contact with anyone, even refusing visits from Chu Tianshu and Rong Huo. Is she demonstrating to me that she's completely given up?"

Narrowing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Chen Jiuge said calmly, "Tell Xiao Ying to reassign some unimportant personnel to strengthen the monitoring of Aphran, Rong Huo, and Chu Tianshu."

"One of these three people, or perhaps all of them, definitely has a problem!"

"I don't believe that you haven't shown any slips at all!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Oh right, keep an eye on Shuibing's side as well."

The Shadow Demon behind seemed surprised by the name, hesitating significantly in action, but as Chen Jiuge's spiritual beast, they would still unconditionally carry out his commands.

"The worry is someone helping them cover up!"

The Shadow Demon isn't all-capable. They can monitor those with higher cultivation than theirs but need to rest, returning to the Shadow World periodically.

And regarding the Shadow Demon, there's another critical piece of information: the actual number of them is quite limited, even far too few, and they are extremely difficult to breed. To date, those naturally born can still be counted on one hand, and these young shadow demons are too immature to be of use.

Only a few individuals in Star Moon City have the capability to assist in covering up the operations of the Five Stars Remnant.

The first and foremost is Shuibing, being the first Governor, her understanding and authority over Star Moon City make this task simple.

Although Chen Jiuge assigned the Shadow Demon to monitor Shuibing, in reality, her likelihood is quite low; it's more of a precaution against unexpected situations.

The next are Chu Tianshu and Rong Huo, though they are also governors, their power in the Star Moon Tribe isn't considerable due to their background; many strong warriors in the tribe do not heed them.

Individually, they can't do much, but if the two cooperate, it's not impossible.

Lastly, there is Aphran herself, the Five Stars Secret Technique is critical. It can significantly aid a warrior in quickly upgrading their cultivation, and from Golden Blade to the Warrior King realm is a breakthrough of substantial influence—a tribe's powerful foundation.

It's not that Chen Jiuge is overly suspicious, but Aphran's willingness to surrender this secret technique was too straightforward.

She might honestly be exhausted, unable to bear the responsibility for the entire Five Stars Tribe, or she might have more critical treasures and used the Secret Technique to divert Chen Jiuge's attention.

"Is it the Five Stars Tribe's treasure?"

Chen Jiuge couldn't confirm the truth of the matter, and even the message Xing Yan conveyed might be meant to mislead him.
