Chapter 2599: Unable to Be Helped Up the Wall

Ye Liuyun didn't go to help the Rebel Army restore the Jin Tribe because he thought this unified situation was more suitable for resisting the Foreign Tribe, and it was better than them constantly draining themselves.

Although the Jin Tribe being destroyed is unjust, since it has already been unified, there is no need to split it again.

But this idea of his could not be accepted by Ling Xiao and the others.

So he could only remain neutral, not intervene in the conflict between the two tribes, letting them slowly discuss it themselves.

When the Foreign Tribe attacks again, they will naturally gradually merge together.

His explanation to Ling Xiao was also to first cut off the Foreign Tribe's stronghold, so they wouldn't send reinforcements here.

After all, resisting the Foreign Tribe is a major matter; we cannot let the Foreign Tribe strike their homeland again.

Moreover, what Ye Liuyun said is true: his avatar and the Magic Vine are already about to reach the Foreign Tribe's stronghold, and he also needs to start preparing for the decisive battle against the Foreign Tribe.

Since the Foreign Tribe has already prepared for the decisive battle, their last important stronghold may not be easily abandoned.

Ye Liuyun needs to, as soon as he acts, destroy their Teleportation Array, so their power cannot be transmitted over at any time.

He himself also needs to use this time to further improve his strength in all aspects.

Especially his Mysterious Origin and Heaven and Earth Power, when facing a Zhuanzai Jingjie expert who borrows the power of Space World, are still far from being a match.

Even if the opponent does not use the power of Space World, his attack power is still not strong enough.

At the same time, his Divine Soul Power also needs to continue increasing.

Zhou Ning's Divine Soul Power is already strong; although it cannot match Ye Liuyun's, it also puts pressure on Ye Liuyun.

So Ye Liuyun also needs to use this time to prepare for the final battle.

But what he didn't expect was that he overestimated Zhou Qiang too much.

Zhou Ning is the same.

They all thought Zhou Qiang, as Clan Chief, should be able to govern the Zhou Tribe well.

However, this Clan Chief Zhou Qiang had previously been under the Foreign Tribe's control and was propped up by them.

He actually had no management experience at all.

If the old Clan Chief and his brothers were still around, they would certainly not have passed the Clan Chief position to him.

But he himself lacked self-awareness.

After clearing the Foreign Tribe, Zhou Qiang began to neglect his duties, first seeking many women for himself, then starting to form factions.

Whoever flattered him, gave gifts and resources, he would rely on.

He suppressed those who spoke justly and frankly.

Especially the Rebel Army, he didn't even want to talk about it, directly sending troops to eradicate them.

As a result, the Rebel Army was not only not wiped out, but kept infiltrating the tribe.

The whole tribe was thrown into chaos by Zhou Qiang; some originally powerless factions, with his support, quickly rose and then began to bully men and women, seizing resources.

Not only did the original Jin Tribe people resent him bitterly, but even the Zhou Tribe people were very dissatisfied with him.

Zhou Qiang even began to crack down on voices opposing him.

Two relatively upright Elders were expelled by Zhou Qiang, left the tribe, and finally reluctantly joined the Rebel Army.

And several villains biased against the Jin Tribe again manipulated Zhou Qiang, using the pretext of eradicating the Rebel Army, to start strictly investigating the original Jin Tribe people.

In the process of carrying this out, these villains also framed and wronged the Jin Tribe people, causing many Jin Tribe members to have to leave the tribe and eventually join the Rebel Army.

After they left, their resources naturally fell into the hands of these villains, who took over their various businesses.

After gaining benefits, these people became even more reckless, gradually not only targeting the Jin Tribe people but also framing the Zhou Tribe people, claiming they were colluding with the Rebel Army inside and out.

After half a year, the Rebel Army hadn't captured a single person, but had framed many, causing people to turn against them, and dissatisfaction with the Zhou Tribe grew ever stronger.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qiang spent every day indulging in feasts and pleasures, completely unaware of the outside situation.

The reports he heard were all of peace and prosperity.

The Rebel Army's scale also rapidly expanded, launching a major counteroffensive.

However, in the end, due to Zhou Ning's intervention, their numbers of strong fighters were also relatively few, and they did not succeed.

Although the rebellion failed, it nevertheless let more people know that this option still existed.

Those who felt there was no hope in the Zhou Tribe began to flee in droves, seeking refuge with the Rebel Army.

Zhou Ning also merely thought the Rebel Army still wanted to restore the Jin Tribe, so he didn't pay attention.

Moreover, when he appeared, Zhou Qiang behaved very restrained, and besides, the people around him were all speaking well of Zhou Qiang, so Zhou Ning also believed it, helped repel the Rebel Army, and then went back into seclusion to cultivate.

But as soon as he entered seclusion, Zhou Qiang and his associates returned to their former state, and even began to extort resources from the people more aggressively, squeezing out more and more factions.

Several factions that had grown by various means also developed conflicts among themselves, each using tactics to squeeze out the others.

The factions that were squeezed out naturally could only turn to the Rebel Army.

Even factions that were not squeezed out also secretly established various connections with the Rebel Army.

They also all clearly understood that if this continued, the Zhou Tribe would eventually collapse, so contacting the Rebel Army in advance was also to leave themselves a retreat.

Even the leader of the Rebel Army, Ling Xiao, didn't expect the Rebel Army to develop so quickly.

Thus the anxious Ling Xiao once again led the Rebel Army in launching a counteroffensive.

Zhou Qiang had no choice but to ask Zhou Ning to come out of seclusion again.

This time, Zhou Ning also sensed something amiss and discovered the Rebel Army's rapid growth.

If he intervened again under these circumstances, he had no confidence he could easily suppress this war.

If fighting truly broke out, it might become a destructive battle, possibly even more tragic than the initial war between the two tribes.

Therefore he also began to investigate the situation, finding that the cause lay entirely with Zhou Qiang.

On one hand he negotiated with Ling Xiao, stabilizing him, temporarily agreeing to let the Jin Tribe separate again; on the other hand he began to deal with Zhou Qiang, setting many rules for him.

In this way, the Rebel Army led by Ling Xiao achieved its goal, began to establish its own tribe, and stood in opposition to the Zhou Tribe.

But Zhou Qiang was very dissatisfied with Zhou Ning.

Besides, the petty people around him, who followed the wind, all echoed his slander of Zhou Ning; ultimately, in Zhou Qiang's eyes, Zhou Ning became a traitor of the Zhou clan.

Zhou Qiang therefore began researching how to get rid of Zhou Ning.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ning was still thinking about how to educate Zhou Qiang, to make him take responsibility for the clan.

He even earnestly pleaded for help from the Zhou clan elders who had previously been driven away.

However, the result was that, during a meeting Zhou Qiang invited him to discuss a 'major matter,' Zhou Qiang actually poisoned him.

By the time he realized, the poison had spread throughout his body, leaving him unable to draw on the Mysterious Origin.

Then, taking advantage of the situation, some petty people launched a Spiritual Soul Attack together, forcing him to sign a Master-Servant Contract, making him completely Zhou Qiang's slave.

Now Zhou Qiang had no one supervising him, and with an additional powerful enforcer, he became even more arrogant and fearless.
