Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

"Wait until they arrive; we won't rush to talk about jade mining first.

We must wait until they've taken root, have shelters, and have food.

Then tell these people that our Bi Tribe does not raise idlers."

The Clan Leader spoke softer and softer, already completely immersed in his own world, his face even carrying a touch of madness: "By then, they won't have a choice!"

The man paused for a long while before opening his mouth: "This year's jade carries too strong a scent of blood.

Moreover, this kind of thing cannot be taken to extremes.

Jade is dead, people are alive.

Once everyone knows, we will……"

He did not finish his words, but the meaning went without saying.

Right now there is no trouble because people's hearts are aligned.

But once people's hearts are lost, a price will eventually have to be paid.

"Understood?"

Xu Zhangqing stepped back one step, leaning against the rough wall.

Zhang Daoxuan's face was hidden in the shadows where moonlight could not reach; after two breaths, he exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi: "Those wilderness foreign tribes outside are just like weeds in the field.

Batch after batch, they simply cannot be killed off.

Once this kind of thing starts, it will never end.

Where are these even people?

This is simply more vicious than Xi Bo!"

"Xi Bo is a god; He does not eat people, as long as people kneel."

Xu Zhangqing shrugged: "The two inside are people, but they have no bottom line."

Zhang Daoxuan turned his head to look inside the house: "What are we still waiting for?"

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly stopped him, instructing: "The Clan Leader can die."

Zhang Daoxuan moved his foot, then stopped again: "What about that man?"

"That man cannot be moved."

Saying this, Xu Zhangqing's gaze shifted toward the center of the lake: "If he dies, Bi Bo Jun will know first.

When jade was offered just now, you also saw it.

The jade was handed up by the priest; the Root God recognizes him."

Hearing this, Zhang Daoxuan's expression was thoughtful.

He himself was no reckless man, and naturally understood what was meant.

"And, do you think killing them would be the end of it?"

Xu Zhangqing looked at him, then continued: "The situation of the two tribes is worse than imagined.

The Bo Tribe lost once on their side; when they return, they will only become more ruthless.

Don't think only the Bi Tribe knows how to soak jade in human blood; if the Bo Tribe is driven to a dead end, the Water Jade they dredge up from the lake bottom may not be clean either!"

Zhang Daoxuan's eyelids twitched.

The anger in his heart gradually subsided.

Xu Zhangqing said earnestly: "Next year, they will surely bring out something even more vicious.

By then, it won't be as simple as one or two people dying."

Zhang Daoxuan asked in a low voice: "Then what should we do?"

Xu Zhangqing pondered: "Wait until the Clan Leader leaves, then we go in to meet this man."

The Clan Leader did not make the two wait too long.

The light and shadow inside the house swayed for a while, followed by the sound of the door hinge.

Not long after, the Clan Leader came out of the Stone House burping.

Before leaving, he still bowed at the door toward the inside.

The obsequiousness of his attitude, the humility of his posture.

It was hard to imagine this was the Clan Leader of a tribe.

Xu Zhangqing called out to Zhang Daoxuan: "Let's go."

He reached out and pushed the door, and the two entered the house.

At this moment, the man was sitting behind a low table.

Several pieces of unpolished jade material were spread on the table, and beside his hand was placed a shallow-mouthed bronze plate, with a layer of dark brown substance still accumulated at the bottom of the plate.

Hearing the noise, he raised his head to look, and the whole person froze for an instant.

"Who are you?"

"People of the Dao Gate!"

"People of the Dao Gate?"

"Correct."

"You don't stay in the Ancestral Court; what are you doing coming to the Bi Tribe?"

"The Dao Gate has the authority to supervise all humans under heaven—don't you know what you've done?"

"I... I don't know what you're talking about!"

"That piece of Blood Jade—how many people's blood did you soak it in?!"

Hearing this, the man's face turned pale, not a trace of blood color left.

Seeing the two staring at him, their gazes like sabers, killing intent faintly present.

"Sigh~"

Immediately, he sighed: "I had no choice!"

Zhang Daoxuan sneered: "Making Fake Blood Jade with human blood—that's having no choice?"

The man said helplessly: "The Bo Tribe has better Water Jade, and a more favored Female Witch."

They just place the jade on the altar, and Bi Bo Jun's grace will flow that way.

I've sat in this seat for two years, every day like sitting on needles, constantly uneasy.

You think I wanted to resort to such measures?

If I don't act, those below will beg me to act, and the Clan Leader will force me to act.

If I don't offer tribute, next year someone else will sit in this seat.

No matter who takes over, the result is the same—the Bi Tribe cannot lose again."

Xu Zhangqing waited for him to finish, then said playfully: "So, you feel wronged?"

The man didn't respond.

Or perhaps he dared not speak recklessly.

At this moment, everyone understood the situation clearly.

These two Dao Gate cultivators' killing intent was very obvious.

"Wronged or not, you know it yourself."

Xu Zhangqing stepped forward, walking to the opposite side of the low table: "I'm giving you a way out now."

The man raised his head, a glimmer of hope rising in his eyes.

"Deal with this Clan Leader, and put someone who truly regards the tribespeople as people on top."

Xu Zhangqing's mind moved, lake water from outside the house flowed into his palm, quickly transforming into a translucent Water Ball, then he continued: "Then, you step forward and negotiate with that Female Witch of the Bo Tribe."

The man glanced at the Water Ball, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and asked: "Negotiate what?"

Xu Zhangqing raised his chin: "Negotiate a stop."

The man went "ah," a bit confused, his expression somewhat blank.

Xu Zhangqing said calmly: "Starting next year, the two tribes will offer only one piece of jade."

It can be any kind of fine jade, but it absolutely cannot become Blood Jade like this time."

The man asked puzzledly: "Why do this?"

Xu Zhangqing's eyes stared straight at him: "If the two tribes offer only one piece of jade, Bi Bo Jun will have no choice."

Either He accepts this jade and, according to the rules, bestows blessings on both tribes."

Or He not only refuses, but is furious, even turning hostile."

Hearing this, the man was startled: "Once Bi Bo Jun turns hostile, it won't be one or two people dying, but both tribes!"

Zhang Daoxuan said disdainfully: "We're right here, what are you afraid of?"

The man opened his mouth: "But... but..."

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "Don't worry, killing gods—we Dao Gate cultivators aren't doing this for the first time."

Hearing this, the man sucked in a breath of cold air: "What?!"

That was a god!

A lofty god!

Dao Gate cultivators actually killing gods!

This secret truly frightened him, goosebumps rising all over his body.

Zhang Daoxuan said coldly: "You know what you've done yourself."

Doing such things can also be considered atoning for past sins."

The man hesitated: "But..."

Zhang Daoxuan frowned: "What 'but' now?"

The man looked at the two Dao Gate cultivators before him, initially very conflicted, but after a while, finally mustered his courage and said in a deep voice: "But, those who truly thought to use human blood to soak out fake jade were precisely those jade gatherers!"
