Chapter 925

When An Xinyi and the Butterfly Tribe were living here before, he felt the number of people was already quite large, but now, the number of people in the courtyard was a full two or three times that! Everywhere his eyes landed, there were people; every single spot was no exception!

While Chen Ang was dumbfounded on his own, An Xinyi spotted him.

Because there were too many people to move around easily, he could only stand where he was and wave.

"Boss, you're up!"

As soon as he said this, everyone's gaze turned in unison.

Seeing Chen Ang, they hurriedly put down their bowls and knelt on one knee to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

"We are at home, there is no need for such grand formalities. Quickly, rise."

Upon hearing his words, everyone rose one after another.

Seeing them pick up their bowls again, Chen Ang raised an eyebrow.

"Is what's in those bowls Spirit Spring Water?"

As soon as he asked this, Wan Shitong hurriedly crowded over.

"Boss, half of the Spirit Spring Water here was sent over by Huang Yu this morning. What he sent, added to what's in our well, is just enough for everyone's share!"

Hearing this, Chen Ang cast his gaze onto Huang Yu's face.

As their eyes met, Huang Yu smiled with a touch of haughtiness.

"Boss, this is what I promised you. I said I would do it, and I did."

"How did you manage it?" Chen Ang asked curiously.

"As for that... I won't tell you."

Once Huang Yu said this, everyone was amused.

Looking at his haughty expression, Chen Ang couldn't help but laugh as well.

"Fine, if you won't say, you won't say. Prepare the things; we'll hold a welcome banquet for everyone tonight!"

Just as Chen Ang's voice fell, Wan Shitong asked from the side: "Boss, can we take everyone out for a walk? They haven't been here before and are curious about everything. I want to take them out to see."

After thinking carefully, Chen Ang said: "We have quite a large number of people, so it's best we don't all appear together to avoid arousing suspicion. If you want to go out and look around, act in batches. Go out group by group, alright?"

"Alright! We all listen to the Sect Leader!" everyone answered in unison.

Looking at the brightness in their eyes, Chen Ang said to Wan Shitong: "You take a few people and go first, head to the east."

Understanding what he meant, Wan Shitong hurriedly took some people and left first.

Not long after they left, Chen Ang said to An Xinyi: "You take some people to the west. Try to stick to the small paths, and don't make a scene when passing through the alleys."

Receiving the order, An Xinyi also took some people and left.

After dividing the remaining people into groups, Chen Ang had Huang Yu lead one, led one himself, and also had a few people mix into the Butterfly Tribe's group. Just like that, half the number of people were taken away, while the rest waited on the spot, waiting for this batch to return so they could swap.

Regarding Chen Ang's arrangements, no one had any objections. After a portion of the people followed them out, the rest stayed obediently in the courtyard, drinking Spirit Spring Water and chatting. No longer needing to be locked in cages, they were happy and at ease; just chatting was enough to make them feel exceptionally satisfied.

Within the Blue Blood Tribe, the Clan Leader's face was ashen.

Looking at his subordinates, his gaze was exceptionally sharp; if he hadn't been exerting extreme control, his gaze alone would have been enough to kill these people!

"How many people did we lose in total?"

Hearing this cold, icy question, everyone's bodies trembled.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the Clan Leader's right-hand man bit the bullet and stepped forward.

"Clan... Clan Leader, we lost over a hundred people this time."

"Over a hundred? That means everyone I arranged over there is dead, with not a single survivor, is that right?"

An extremely powerful aura pressed down. The right-hand man swallowed hard, but in the end, he nodded.

Seeing him nod, the Clan Leader could no longer suppress the rage in his heart; he raised his hand and smashed the vase to the side.

When the sound of shattering porcelain rang out, everyone's hearts jumped into their throats! They held their breath in unison, lowering their heads to look at their own toes.

"A full hundred-plus people and you couldn't even take down the Human Race? Are you all trash?!"

Facing the Clan Leader's reprimand, no one below dared to speak.

Looking at their evasive appearance, the Blue Blood Tribe Clan Leader was furious.

He slammed his right hand hard onto the table, and his aura surged out instantly. As the wind rose and clouds gathered, the shards on the ground suddenly flew into the air, heading straight for the few people in front!

In just an instant, those few had their throats slit in unison!

Until the moment they died, they hadn't even reacted to what was happening!

Fresh blood sprayed everywhere; those behind only felt their scalps go numb!

Moving their feet subconsciously, they huddled toward their companions, as if being close to a companion could save their lives.

Squinting his eyes as he looked at them, the Blue Blood Tribe Clan Leader clenched his fists tightly.

"I went to such lengths to cultivate you, and this is how you repay me?! Good, very good. From now on, all of you go to the back mountain to repent. If anyone fails to improve, don't blame me for being heartless! Once you have improved, go to the Human Race and snatch the people back for me, otherwise, don't even think about staying alive!"

Learning they had to go to the back mountain to repent, everyone's expressions changed in unison.

To them, the back mountain was a more terrifying existence than the cave where the humans were imprisoned! After all, the cave was set up for the humans, while the back mountain was set up for them!

In the past, only those who violated the tribe's regulations would be locked in the back mountain, but now, all of them had to go! Thinking of this, they felt goosebumps rise all over their bodies.

Seeing their appearance, the Clan Leader curled his lips coldly.

"Since you are no match for the Human Race, then I, as your Clan Leader, will help you improve. I give you one month. After one month, I will personally come to find you. If anyone fails to meet my requirements by then, I will execute you on the spot, without showing the slightest mercy!"

As soon as he said this, many people turned ashen, their hearts turning cold.

The back mountain was a place of torture; for him to have them improve there, how was that possible? This was clearly meant to torture them until they were exhausted and then deal them a fatal blow. This was even more terrifying than letting them die directly!

Thinking of this, many felt their legs go weak.

Seeing the performance of these people, the Blue Blood Tribe Clan Leader snorted coldly through his nose.

"I will say it again, this is your last chance. If you don't cherish it, you can go to hell right now! I will grant your wish!"

Once the Clan Leader said this, many were so scared they started shivering.

By evening, while the Blue Blood Tribe members were being punished, the humans were reveling; the atmosphere on both sides formed a sharp contrast.

In the new human camp, everyone was drinking and toasting.

Having regained their freedom and returned to their own clans, everyone was cheering for this.

Feeling the atmosphere at the scene, Qing Mei also drank several cups in a row.

Seeing her about to pour more wine, Chen Ang hurriedly stopped her.

"Qing Mei, don't drink anymore, you've already had a lot."

"Chen Ang, I'm happy, just let me drink a little."

Perhaps because she was tipsy, Qing Mei's tone carried a hint of coquettishness as she spoke.

Listening to her soft words, Chen Ang felt a certain place in his heart soften instantly.

Just as he wanted to speak, Qing Mei wrapped her arm around his.

"Chen Ang, just let me drink a little more, just a tiny bit, okay?"

Looking at the "tiny bit" she indicated, Chen Ang chuckled softly.

"Alright, I'll drink a tiny bit more with you."

Hearing Chen Ang say he would accompany her, Qing Mei's eyes brightened instantly.

Picking up the wine pot, she hurriedly poured the wine.

"Chen Ang, cheers!"

Meeting her sparkling eyes, Chen Ang also smiled and raised his cup.

Soon, a pot of wine was finished by the two of them.

When the bottom of the cup was empty, Qing Mei's face already bore obvious signs of intoxication.

Leaning softly against Chen Ang, she looked at his eyes blankly.

"Chen Ang, why don't you like me? Is it because I'm not pretty enough?"

Suddenly hearing her question, Chen Ang was stunned for a moment.

"Chen Ang, I've done everything I could. What else do you want me to do before you're willing to accept me? After spending so long together, do you have no feelings for me at all?"

Looking at the grievance in her eyes, he also felt a sour, astringent pain in his heart.

"Qing Mei, actually I..." ===== CHAPTER 926 =====
