Chapter 937

In the void, inside the crystal formed from seven-colored gemstones, the vast hall was filled with a clamor of voices.

Wu Nie knelt on the ground, roaring hoarsely with exhausted voice.

"Two of the lowliest soldiers, they actually dare……"

"In our presence, you can't even speak of nobility." Seated on the throne, the Barbarian God tribe's Chi Hui gave a cold snort and casually waved his hand.

A tremendous force surged out, Wu Nie was beaten to the point of broken bones and torn tendons, spitting blood mouthful after mouthful, like a fly being swatted out of the hall.

"Wu Tou, this is your pantheon's internal affairs; handle it yourselves." Chi Hui narrowed his eyes, his pupils spewing forth rich Blood Light as he glared fiercely at Wu Tou: "Hmm, bring them back alive; I'm curious how they dared to rebel."

Shaking his head, Chi Hui glanced at Xuan Wu, You Zu, and the others beside him, and said softly: "This is merely a tiny, insignificant matter."

Xuan Wu, You Zu, Xu Po, and Yi Zun all simultaneously gave Chi Hui a subtle look.

You Zu suddenly laughed: "This, who knows, is it really just a small matter? Those lowly soldiers dare to act against the God General rank…… among so many gods, over countless years, this is the first time."

Xu Po chuckled darkly: "Could it be that the divine law of your Barbarian God tribe is about to collapse?"

Chi Hui's expression turned grim; he gave You Zu a deep look, then fiercely glared at Xu Po, and said in a low voice: "The Barbarian God's divine law absolutely cannot be shaken…… those two lowly lackeys perhaps merely lost their past-life memories in reincarnation…… such things are not uncommon."

"No! They clearly know Wu Nie's identity." Xu Po emphasized to Chi Hui, full of malice, he sneered: "They well know they attacked a God General who is thousands of times more noble than they are. Yet they still did it."

Xu Po shook his head at Chi Hui: "Your Barbarian God tribe's control over the lower ranks—has it begun to crumble?"

Within Chi Hui's body, low rumbles of thunder echoed, and rich blood energy rose up, condensing above his head into a shield-shaped seal of extremely ferocious form, its outer edge densely packed with serrations.

Having swallowed countless God Soul Crystals and absorbed endless bloodline essence, Chi Hui has smoothly entered the God King Realm, which Mu Dalu calls the 'Venerable' level. The Dao Seal he condensed is exactly such an offensive-defensive dual-purpose, ferociously fearsome pattern.

Immense pressure surged through the hall; Chi Hui glanced at Wu Tou, who had brought Wu Nie into this hall.

He let out a strange laugh and pointed a finger at Wu Tou.

Air compressed, the void collapsed, a blood-colored spear condensed out of thin air, howling as it flew toward Wu Tou's chest. Wu Tou let out a loud roar, swiftly drew his waist blade, and slashed at the divine-light-shining blood-colored spear.

With a tremendous bang, the saber shattered; Wu Tou was shaken and staggered back, the spear grazing his shoulder and tearing away a fist-sized chunk of flesh.

As the flesh tore apart, everyone in the hall heard from Wu Tou's shoulder a tremendous sound like countless taut steel bars snapping simultaneously; the deafening noise echoed in the hall, the shattered flesh exploded into a mist of blood, then flew back to Wu Tou's shoulder.

Countless tiny flesh buds grew out, and Wu Tou's shoulder completely healed in a single breath.

The blood-colored spear Chi Hui had condensed was about to strike the hall's floor when Xuan Wu, seated on the throne, waved his hand; the crystal floor flashed with seven-colored divine light and bore the spear's impact.

The blood-colored spear vanished, and the hall trembled slightly.

Xuan Wu glared fiercely at Chi Hui: "This is the territory of my Celestial Crystal God tribe…… Chi Hui, to discipline those below, go to your own place…… hahaha!"

Xuan Wu let out a strange laugh, the black-and-white divine light at his heart and head flashing violently; he looked at Chi Hui and deliberately provoked: "But it seems you lack control over those below…… this shameful affair, Wu Tou actually brought people straight to our face to lay it bare."

Chi Hui's face instantly turned pitch black.

Just now, Wu Tou brought Wu Nie running here, and in front of Xuan Wu, You Zu, and the others, he loudly declared that his essence-blood clone had been slain by the Faceless Buddha and Xia Ru Meng.

The lowly lackeys of the Barbarian God tribe dare to lay hands on a noble God General!

The Barbarian God tribe is unstable internally; the Barbarian God tribe has encountered a major problem.

Can such a disgraceful matter be spoken of openly?

Especially, Wu Tou deliberately brought Wu Nie here, proving that Wu Tou intended to embarrass Chi Hui publicly. Even if the Faceless Buddha and Xia Ru Meng's reincarnation was not arranged by Chi Hui, their rebellion has nothing to do with the newly arrived Chi Hui.

But Chi Hui is currently the chief overseer of the Barbarian God tribe's frontline observation post……

Regardless of whether the cause is related to him, when these disgraceful events occur, he must bear all consequences.

Chi Hui's mood is extremely terrible.

He fiercely glared at the silent Wu Tou standing in the hall, then pointed sharply toward the hall's exit: "Wu Tou, go, take people, personally descend to Mu Dalu, and bring back those two traitors."

"No one can violate the Barbarian God tribe's divine law; those who dare to defy it shall die only." Chi Hui's voice was low and repressed, filled with anger and resentment.

Wu Tou gave Chi Hui a slight bow, then turned and walked out of the hall.

As he turned, Xuan Wu, You Zu, Xu Po, and Yi Zun all simultaneously saw a wisp of exceptionally clear cold smile on Wu Tou's face.

That cold smile seemed to be telling Chi Hui—I deliberately brought Wu Nie here, deliberately exposing this disgrace.

I did it on purpose; what can you do about me?

Chi Hui's blood surged throughout his body; he clenched his fists tightly, his whole body trembling violently, he gritted his teeth and stared at Wu Tou, laughing coldly word by word: "Good, good, good, very good……"

You Zu chuckled beside him, saying lightly: "Just a tiny matter, no need to get worked up. By the way, how do you all feel about Prince Huan Wu's proposal?"

Standing in the corner of the hall, Huan Wu, smiling, stepped forward a few paces and bowed respectfully to You Zu and the others.

"Your Esteemed Highnesses, I merely have a little bit of superficial insight—since we are about to reap fully, why not let those pitiful humans grow stronger, to increase our harvest?"

"Release Mu Dalu's suppression of the God Realm, so those humans can fully ascend to the God Realm."

"Under our efforts, many human settlements on Mu Dalu have already begun to descend into chaos…… our profits are soaring."

"But it's still not enough, not enough, far from enough."

"Just imagine, if the number of human God Realm experts could increase a hundredfold, a thousandfold, ten thousandfold…… how great could our profits become?"

Huan Wu vigorously waved his hands, earnestly imparting his proposal to Xuan Wu and the others.

Xuan Wu and the others' eyes flickered as they fell into contemplation.

After a long while, Xu Po asked darkly: "But if Mu Dalu's God Realm increased ten thousandfold, a hundred thousandfold, a millionfold…… could we still safely control humanity?"

Huan Wu smiled and gave Xu Po a deep bow: "Esteemed Xu Po, the heavenly tribulation of the God Realm is fundamentally just a means we previously used to control humanity, to extort humanity, to buy off those among humanity…… who adore our spirits."

"To achieve spirithood, some humans became our lackeys; a single divine edict is enough to make them spend vast amounts of time and endless energy gathering resources for us, and to offer us exceptionally talented boys and girls for our enjoyment."

"But actually, does the God Realm pose any threat to us?"

"Because the prohibitions laid down by our ancestors prevent them even from leaving Mu Dalu."

"Thus, what threat could they possibly pose to us?"

Spreading his hands, Huan Wu shrugged: "They will pose no threat to us…… on the contrary, as the number of God Realm experts increases enormously, due to our clansmen lurking within them stirring and provoking, humanity will become even more chaotic."

"Power brings ambition, brings fierce desire…… newborn powerhouses will always think of supplanting the interests of the old beneficiaries."

"Just like a wolf pack, the strongest alpha enjoys the best of everything…… but when the pack sees several, dozens, or hundreds of new wolves possessing alpha strength appear…… how would things change?"

Huan Wu laughed brightly: "We merely need them to rise, then die, then be harvested by us…… even if their God Realm numbers increase a hundred millionfold…… they fundamentally do not know of our existence, they cannot attack us, do they pose any threat to us?"

Phantom Mist stretched out a finger and said harshly: "But, a hundred million‑fold profit… think about it, Your Esteemed Highnesses, how many god soul crystals and bloodline essences have we already harvested? If the efficiency of this profit were increased a hundred million‑fold!"

Phantom Mist lowered his voice: "Could we break through to above the God King? God Emperor? Or even… even more… an inconceivable realm?"

Xuanwu, Chiyun, and the others seated on the throne suddenly drew a heavy breath.

Yizun said in a low voice: "Humans cannot attack us."

Xuanwu said solemnly: "As long as we sit in this War Star forged by our Heavenly Crystal God Clan at the cost of countless resources… we are absolutely safe."

"Then…" Xupo gave a sinister laugh: "I think we can… lift the Heavenly Tribulation Ban that our ancestors placed on the human God Manifest Realm on Mu Dalu—it only requires authorization from more than half of the God Clan."

"Then let's do that." Youzu said lightly: "If the number of human God Manifest Realm cultivators increases, their killing efficiency will also increase considerably. Hehe, on a continent with ten thousand God Manifest Realm experts fighting, the damage to the continent would be negligible."

Phantom Mist said excitedly: "But if a continent had a hundred million, or even a billion God Manifest Realm experts fighting… that continent would surely be destroyed, and the humans on it… would surely be exterminated. They would all become our resources!"

Joyful laughter rang out in the hall.

Then, amid the laughter, Youzu suddenly asked: "Phantom Mist, why haven't we seen Miewu these days?"

Phantom Mist bowed respectfully to Youzu and said: "Esteemed Youzu Highness… earlier, Miewu obtained a great deal of resources, heh…"

Shrugging his shoulders, a flicker of greed and hatred that everyone present could see clearly flashed in Phantom Mist's eyes: "I think he might be hiding in some dark corner, striving to break through to…"

Phantom Mist enviously glanced at the ferocious Dao Seal still hovering above Chiyun's head.

Youzu, Xuanwu, Chiyun, Xupo, Yizun, together with Sheng Rong of the Light God Clan seated nearby, burst into joyful laughter once again.

As expected, the Wisdom God Clan remains thus—its members can never truly unite.

This is fine, this is fine.

A disunited Wisdom God Clan is exactly what puts one at ease. If Miewu, Phantom Mist, and the like all colluded, scheming solely against people, even if Youzu and the others joined forces, they'd still feel a chill down their backs.

Wutou, carrying Wunie, along with hundreds of spirits from the Barbarian God Clan, strode forward through the passageway formed of condensed crystal stone.

Along the way, spirits of the Heavenly Crystal God Clan of various heights came and went, but Wutou wore a grim face, ignoring their friendly greetings—as if everyone owed him money.

Lan Ying emerged from a side passage, just in time to meet up with Wutou.

The alluring Lan Ying gave Wutou a bewitching smile, lightly wrapping her arms around his arm: "Wutou, how about it—Chiyun really had you personally come down to deal with those two traitors? Hehe… won't you praise my idea?"

Wutou seized Lan Ying's neck in one grip and growled low: "Praise your wicked idea? Heh, a woman of the Conspiracy God Clan is the most dangerous woman in the boundless void… no matter what schemes you have against me, I, Wutou, am not so easily fooled!"

Lan Ying glanced at Wutou: "Are you afraid of me? Do you fear me? I thought you were the smartest of the Barbarian God Clan, but… you're just a big oaf, a violent maniac!"

Wutou fell silent, then released his grip with a cold chuckle and continued striding forward.

Lan Ying trotted alongside Wutou, smiling: "Don't worry, I'm just looking for a powerful ally… what do you think, if I help you hand over Chiyun… hehe, what do you think?"

Wutou's face twitched: "I don't trust you. Even if this wicked idea of yours is actually good… I still don't trust you."

Lan Ying sighed, shook her head: "Rest assured, I'll make you trust me. Listen, having you personally descend to Mu Dalu is just the first step of my plan… next, I have a way to make you grow rapidly in a very short time."

"Hey, if you won't cooperate with me, I'll go tell on you to Chiyun!" Lan Ying stuck out her tongue at Wutou with a grin: "You should know, a woman's revenge can be terrifying. If Chiyun finds out what you've been doing behind his back these days…"

Lan Ying laughed radiantly.

Wutou's face twitched violently; after a long, long while, he finally gave a heavy nod.
