Chapter 98: Easily Changing the Ruler

At dusk, the number of wounded outside kept increasing, and Su Mo and a few others in the house could faintly hear voices.

"This weapon, seems to be unique to the Dragon Clan."

"Their tactics also look like those of the Dragon Clan! I heard that Miss Su and her several fiancés stayed with the Dragon Clan for a considerable time recently; could they be deliberately colluding with the Dragon Clan to harm us?"

……

Cang Lan stood by the window, frowned at the voices, and said coldly, "Nonsense!"

Yue Ying said lightly, "Is Long Yan so ambitious now that he'd do evil deeds and make us take the blame? Tsk tsk, he's really not a good dragon~"

Fei Yan twisted his brow at him, as if reminding him to speak less.

Yue Ying was unconvinced; he obviously knew this couldn't be Long Yan, and Long Yan is also a scapegoat.

But isn't that dragon his rival in love? Why does he now want to take the opportunity to slander his rival a few words?

Who let that dragon try to compete with him for the Wife Master?

Su Mo was too lazy to bother with Yue Ying; she knew he wasn't sincere at all when he said that.

She looked at Mo Xiao and asked, "Last time we returned from the Dragon Clan, what happened when we were ambushed in Xiao Shulin? Have you clarified it?"

Mo Shuang frowned and said, "The other side insists they were sent by the Dragon Clan. Before I came to the Tiger Tribe Tribe, I had already sent someone to contact Long Yan to see if there was any progress on their side."

Su Mo nodded.

【It seems the other side has been trying hard to provoke a war among the three tribes; this time they couldn't wait, so they chose the moment to attack the Tiger Tribe directly. Using our presence here, they fabricated a false attack by the Dragon Clan's subordinates, thereby intensifying the conflict between the Tiger Tribe and the Dragon Clan.】

【Even if the Tiger Tribe wins this battle, they will still harbor resentment toward us; once the seed of doubt is planted, it is hard to uproot. Later, a few small moves won't be afraid of the three tribes falling into chaos.】

【This is aimed at bringing down the three tribes.】

A clamor came from outside.

Su Mo looked up through the window and saw the Tiger Clan Third Young Master speaking with Xuan Wei.

He held a long sword, his plain white robe stained with a hint of blood, exuding a cold, solemn killing aura.

"The opponent knows the ultimate techniques of me and Second Sister, and had already prepared a countermeasure. Her Blood Howl Soul‑Breaking Art and my Qin music cannot take effect at the moment. The tribe's common folk have also been poisoned, and now chaos reigns."

Xuan Wei had been treating patients all afternoon, her face full of fatigue.

Seeing the ever‑increasing wounded, she could not hide the burning anxiety on her face, and unconsciously clenched the medicine jar in her hand.

She fell silent for a few seconds and said, "In a moment I will dispatch people to first check on the tribe's common folk."

Xuan Qing frowned; he knew that now the tribe could no longer spare anyone who understood medicine.

He turned his head slightly and saw Su Mo and several others walk out of the house.

Before Su Mo could speak, a commander behind Xuan Qing raised his long sword and pointed it directly at Su Mo.

With a harsh voice he shouted, "Treacherous scoundrel! Our Second Miss kindly hosted a banquet for you, and you resort to such vile deeds! I will take your life!"

Having said that, he lunged toward Su Mo.

The Mo Shuang and Fei Yan beside him instantly turned cold‑faced, ready to counter at any moment.

However, faster than their movements was the Young Master Xuan Qing.

He pinched the sword blade with his fingertip, applied a bit of inner force, and pushed the person behind him aside.

Then, calmly withdrawing his hand, he slightly turned his head, furrowed his brow and said, "WeiRuo, cease being unreasonable!"

"Third Young Master…" WeiRuo still wanted to say something, but Xuan Wei gave him a stare that sent him back.

Xuan Wei looked at Su Mo and said, "It's unfortunate that you all arrived today, causing you to encounter this situation."

Su Mo's cold gaze swept over the wounded in the courtyard: "Second Miss, Third Young Master, regarding the current situation of the Tiger Tribe, I need not waste words. My explanations now are empty; if you trust me, I can help treat the wounded. My several fiancés can also assist you in defending against the enemy."

WeiRuo shouted angrily, "Who wants your help! I think you have no good intentions!"

Su Mo narrowed her eyes and said, "If I truly wanted to steal your defensive map, why would I expose such an obvious flaw? If Second Miss and Third Young Master really can't rest assured, that's fine. As long as you can afford it, we don't mind. To me, leaving the Tiger Tribe a day earlier or a day later makes no difference."

Hearing this, Xuan Shuang and Xuan Qing's faces showed slight astonishment; she was telling them that these Tiger Tribe soldiers couldn't stop them.

However, that wasn't mere boasting, after all the fiancés beside her were somewhat capable.

Now those people outside still can't handle it; they simply can't spare themselves to waste time with them.

If they truly wish to leave, indeed they might not be stopped.

Su Mo turned to go back inside.

"Wait!"

Xuan Shuang and Xuan Qing said in unison.

Su Mo turned, and heard Xuan Shuang say to her, "Then it's up to Miss Su."

Su Mo gave a slight nod and followed her.

After taking the pulse of those soldiers, Su Mo retrieved some Detox Pills from the space and said, "Give them this; it can quickly suppress the poison!"

Xuan Wei took them and ordered them to be distributed.

When she again took their pulse, the toxins in their bodies were indeed under control.

Su Mo handed over a written prescription, saying, "I've changed a few herbs; follow this, and within seven days the toxins in their bodies will be cleared."

Having said that, she turned again toward Xuan Qing and said, "Third Young Master, if you trust me, you can distribute the remaining pills to the soldiers on the battlefield to counter the enemy's poison, which will better preserve everyone's combat ability."

As soon as Su Mo finished speaking, Xuan Wei tossed the pouch in her hand toward him.

Xuan Qing caught it and ordered the Beastmen fiancés of Su Mo to rush forward.

Su Mo and Xuan Wei stayed to help those in the infirmary treat wounds; Su Mo's wound‑tending was precise and swift, leaving Xuan Wei somewhat shocked.

Moreover, her medicine seemed highly effective, instantly stopping the bleeding of soldiers whose blood wouldn't cease.

——

On the Tiger Clan wall, Xuan Shuang looked at the few people behind Xuan Qing, slightly surprised.

Tian Huan was about to speak, but Xuan Shuang's glance silenced him.

Now the opponent's offensive is swift and ruthless, and they are struggling hard to defend.

If Su Mo's several fiancés are truly outsiders, then now is the best opportunity for a coordinated inside‑out attack.

But as it looks now, they were probably overthinking it.

Xuan Qing distributed Su Mo's Detox Pill, and the situation turned around for a moment, but soon it gradually fell back into disadvantage.

Because outsiders actually sent another group of people.

Tian Huan shouted angrily: "You damn dog, how many have actually arrived!"

Although Mo Xiao and a few others helped, they couldn't stop the opponent's larger numbers.

And among them were also many with high combat power.

During the melee, Cang Lan's left shoulder was grazed by a sharp arrow. The wound quickly turned from red to black.

Yue Ying hurried: "First go find Wife Master to treat the wound!"

When Cang Lan returned to the courtyard again, Su Mo was detoxifying those civilians and treating their injuries.

These Tiger Clan civilians, being hot‑blooded, joined the fight on their own.

Those without combat ability hid at home; those people were too vicious and outright refused to spare the innocent civilians.

The Tribe has already seen many innocent bodies; Su Mo thought perhaps her earlier judgment was wrong—the opponent not only wants to spark a war among the three Tribes.

He intends to wipe the Tiger Tribe Tribe clean.

Su Wei has already assigned some soldiers in the courtyard, gathered the innocent civilians, and set up a barrier with the Poison provided by Su Mo.

But no one knows how long it can hold.

Su Mo looked up, saw Cang Lan's blackened arm, and quickly rose and walked over, taking him to a room to treat the wound.

Xuan Wei asked anxiously, "How is it?"

"Indeed a cunning one; the Poison was used differently. If it had been delayed a moment longer, that arm would probably have been lost."

Su Mo wondered, 【Could it be Jin Tong?】

【But didn't he get poisoned by my own Poison? How could it be resolved so quickly?!】

After treating Cang Lan's wound, she instructed, "Tell those few to be careful; if they get injured, come back to me immediately."

Cang Lan nodded.

Su Mo asked again about the current situation; from Cang Lan's description, it was clear the opponent also knew Mo Xiao and his group's supreme techniques.

She turned her head to Xuan Wei and said, "This current tactic is just wearing down our stamina. Once we're exhausted, they'll strike in one blow. We must not be led by the nose; before night falls tonight, we must secure a ceasefire."

Xuan Wei shook his head and said, "But the opponent's offensive is fierce; at this moment we simply cannot stop whenever we want."

Su Mo glanced at the Tribe's terrain map on the table and said, "We need to call for outside aid; otherwise, given their tactics, you simply can't hold. When the Tribe's civilians are all slaughtered, the Tiger Clan will easily seize power."

Xuan Wei frowned and said, "But now, whether it's North Wing or Dragon Clan, they are far from us; even if they set out immediately, they're likely still too late."

Su Mo pondered for a moment and said, "There's another plan!"
