I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Yu Jiu followed the Young Venerable of the Upper Heaven Tribe to attend the banquet at the Dragon Head Tribe.

Now Yu Jiu is dead!

This means that this trip to the banquet poses great danger!

"Tribe youth and warriors, all who possess martial power, gather at once, something big has happened!"

Shangguan Xuanniao's face was solemn as he immediately ordered.

He also knew that the person, ape, and ox behind him must be feeling bewildered.

If the Dragon Head Tribe attempts to annex the Upper Heaven Tribe, he would inevitably need the help of these three.

Thus, he provided an explanation.

The Upper Heaven Tribe possesses a Supreme Treasure passed down through generations, a Heavenly Divine Artifact, which is a lamp.

Upon it are nine dragon patterns, suggesting that nine ancient dragons once coiled around it.

Now the nine dragons have fled, leaving only an empty lamp, but its might remains, able to repel monsters.

This is a fortune obtained by the Upper Heaven ancestors, who discovered that if essence blood is dripped onto the dragon patterns, they will ignite.

Each dragon pattern has scales corresponding to the blood of an Upper Heaven warrior.

If they die outside the tribe, their blood instantly dries up, and the lamp's flame weakens.

Previously, the lamp's flame weakened slightly, as the essence blood belonging to Yu Jiu had dried up and burned out.

This signifies Yu Jiu's death.

"The Dragon Head Tribe is the one I previously mentioned, where the individual who obtained the Dragon Ball resides. He is the grand venerator of the alliance of thirty-six tribes!"

Shangguan Xuanniao said: "However, since acquiring the Dragon Ball, this person grew dragon whiskers and due to his cultivation technique, his gaze resembles a tiger's, hence called Dragon Beard Tiger. He is rumored to frequently interact with the descendants of northern deities and demons, often selecting young boys and girls as sacrifices for banquets..."

"Each month, these thirty-six tribes must offer food and fellow clan members as sacrifices to the Dragon Head Tribe."

"Only a few tribes can be exempt."

"Our Upper Heaven is one of them."

"Years ago, my father imitated Fire Hell, derived a dojo, and established an Inner Realm, thereby reducing our offerings."

"Later, my father passed away, and the Dragon Head Tribe intended to suppress us, demanding the Upper Heaven Tribe's sacrifice offerings and food tribute again."

"At the time, I was ambitious and dissatisfied, risking my life and forcefully swallowed a drop of Great Sun God Monarch's essence blood left by our ancestors, nearly incinerating my body and primordial spirit, but ultimately refined it and forged the Fire Hell."

"Afterwards, the Dragon Head Tribe stopped mentioning offerings."

"Yet, ultimately, it stained their reputation and diminished the authority of the grand venerator, harboring many resentments against me."

Saying this, Shangguan Xuanniao patted his forehead in annoyance, saying, "Unexpectedly, they acted against my son this time!"

"According to the political intrigue I know..."

Little White Ape whispered: "Is there a possibility that another tribe killed them halfway, framing them?"

"No."

Lin Yan shook his head slightly and said, "The Upper Heaven Tribe, having someone who has cultivated the Fire Hell Inner Realm, can indeed make the Dragon Head Tribe wary!"

"Currently, the Young Venerable from Upper Heaven has also cultivated the Fire Hell Inner Realm, father and son are both top-notch among the Human Clan now, and the Young Venerable is only thirty-five years old, with a limitless future ahead!"

"If the Upper Heaven Tribe continues to develop, it might eventually threaten the Dragon Head Tribe's status."

"This Dragon Beard Tiger, himself, can no longer be considered part of the Human Clan, and he colludes with deity-demon descendants, using humans for sacrifice to solidify his territory, clearly not someone who cares about the Human Clan. He wouldn't consider tribe infighting that reduces human power."

"Furthermore, annexing the unmanageable, non-sacrifice offering Upper Heaven Tribe would be beneficial to the Dragon Head Tribe, increasing its power."

Speaking thus, Lin Yan looked outside and calmly said, "They've arrived!"

Little White Ape glanced outside and finally understood why his master was so certain this was the Dragon Head Tribe's doing.

Because the Dragon Head Tribe had surrounded the Upper Heaven Tribe.

Banners stood surrounding them from all directions.

On the flags was a rampant visage resembling a tiger-leopard.

Behind the flags were over a thousand troops each.

A total of approximately five thousand people!

At the frontline were several hundred cavalrymen, donned in armor and helmets, riding high steeds!

The rear held strong archers and crossbows, already drawn, aimed at the direction of the Upper Heaven Tribe.

"It's been a long time, great venerator of Upper Heaven."

The leading general, face shielded by a black iron mask, holding a long spear, said, "My Dragon Head Tribe's grand venerator has received the Heavenly Destiny, and intends to use the Dragon Head Tribe as a base, emulating ancient times to build a city, the southern thirty-three tribes have already pledged allegiance, the tide is forming..."

As his voice fell, a cavalryman behind him threw a chain, flying a hundred zhang, landing within the Upper Heaven Tribe.

"Your Upper Heaven Tribe disregards authority, hindering the determination of the thirty-six tribe alliance."

"If you repent at this time, and wear shackles to await your fate, the grand venerator promises that your Upper Heaven Tribe can join Dragon Head City, enjoying stability and prosperity, and you could even become the first warrior of Dragon Head City!"

"If you refuse to awaken and go against the heavens, your Upper Heaven Tribe will be extinct from this point forward!"

"..."

Panic spread throughout the Upper Heaven Tribe, men and women, young and old, all showing signs of fear.

Regarding the Dragon Head Tribe's provocation, Shangguan Xuanniao knew nothing beforehand.

Previously he hastily gathered the tribe's youth to rescue the Young Venerable.

Yet in haste, ultimately, unable to compare to the Dragon Head Tribe's prepared arrival.

From the positions of those Dragon Head Tribe soldiers, Lin Yan could discern that the Dragon Head Tribe had mastered a powerful military formation.

It should be an Ancient Era battle formation!

Many Immortal Gods had Daoist Soldiers under their command.

Daoist Soldiers forming arrays increased might immensely.

Later Holy Alliance and even South Mountain Sacred Land forces formed battle formations to create strong combat power to confront stronger evils.
