Chapter 1067: Threatening the Yushi Tribe

The Yushi Tribe thought everything was going smoothly, but when passing through a small mountain pass, their path was blocked by a great fire. The trees laid out on the road were clearly placed by human hands; it was impossible for a pile of trees to inexplicably appear in such a place and catch fire.

Chisongzi led the Soldiers forward and scanned the surroundings, immediately discovering the enemies occupying the high ground. However, looking at them, they seemed well-equipped and physically strong, not at all like the people from those Tribal Alliances.

To avoid unnecessary casualties, Chisongzi had a Soldier step forward to call out: "We are the Yushi Tribe, preparing to pass through here. We have no intention of attacking you. If you are people of the Tribal Alliance, then move aside, and we will not attack you!"

Shaoyin stood up directly and shouted through a horn made of rolled tree bark: "We are not people of the Tribal Alliance. We are the Xuanyuan Tribe and the Huaxia Alliance, here at the request of the Tribal Alliance to help them resist the tyranny of the Shennong Clan."

This place has already been occupied by us; it is our territory. No matter who you are, you cannot pass. If you want to pass, we only give you two choices.

First, use the lives of your Soldiers to fill the gap and see if you can charge through.

Second, bring food, supplies, or Slaves to trade. If the price offered is suitable, we are willing to clear the road here for you, and you can go wherever you want."

Upon hearing "Xuanyuan Tribe," Chisongzi felt a bit of trouble; after all, the Xuanyuan Tribe was truly not a small tribe. But what was this "Huaxia"? He had never heard of it, but a tribe that could unite with the Xuanyuan Tribe was likely not a simple one.

However, Chisongzi was not easily threatened. He immediately had someone shout again: "Our Yushi Tribe is very powerful. We have enough Soldiers. We are going to pass through here now; you had better move aside. That way, we won't attack you, and you won't suffer any losses. The land behind us won't that just become yours? Isn't that enough?"

Shaoyin shouted back: "Not enough! This is our territory. Since you are passing through our territory, you must give us food as compensation no matter what. Don't you intend to cut down firewood, hunt wild beasts, and drink our water on our land? Isn't it only right that you compensate us?"

The Soldier shouted angrily: "This is the territory of our Shennong Clan, not yours!"

Shaoyin sneered: "What 'your Shennong Clan'? This place has already been attacked and occupied by us. The Fengbo Tribe has already fled to the Jiuli."

Furthermore, regarding you—the Yushi Tribe, right? You have also abandoned the land you governed and come here. Aren't you also preparing to flee to the Jiuli just like the Fengbo Tribe?"

"We let the Fengbo Tribe leave because they traded their territory for it. What do you have? Is the land behind you still under the control of your Yushi Tribe? Do you think we wouldn't be able to conquer it?"

"Why are you fleeing from the Shennong Clan? Isn't it because you no longer trust the Shennong Clan? Then why do you keep saying it is the territory of your Shennong Clan?"

"I ask you, don't you dare say that Shennong sent you here. Since you are passing through our territory, where do you want to go?"

The Yushi was also suddenly blocked and didn't know what to say, but he certainly wouldn't be threatened so easily. After all, he still had tens of thousands of clansmen behind him; this was his reliance.

"Kid, I don't care who you are or which tribe you belong to. You had better move aside now. We won't fight you, and you don't make a move. Let's just yield to each other. You move forward; no one is stopping you. As far as you can go ahead, that is how large your territory will be. How about it? Is this not enough?"

Shaoyin said from his high vantage point: "It is not enough. We are here specifically to block you. Before you arrived, we had already prepared everything, waiting for you to come. You either fight, or you trade goods and people for the road. Those are the only two choices. Once we finish fighting you, we can naturally continue to move forward. Our goal is the entire Shennong Clan. If we don't fight you a little, our harvest here would be a bit too small, wouldn't it?"

The Soldier sent by the Yushi pointed to the vast crowd behind him and said: "Look closely at how many clansmen and Soldiers I have behind me. You have so few people, yet you want to threaten our Yushi Tribe?"

"Better move aside quickly, lest you get wiped out."

Shaoyin laughed loudly and then blew a Whistle. In the terrified gaze of the Yushi Tribe, countless Soldiers camouflaged with Grass stood up on the hills on both sides. At the mountain pass, many Soldiers riding cattle also appeared, lining up in a row to block the way.

Moreover, Shaoyin's side consisted entirely of strong men; not a single woman was seen. Just by glancing at their Weapons, Chisongzi felt panicked. How could the Weapons of these people who appeared be so good? They were impossibly good—all of them were metal. Was this Xuanyuan Tribe actually this powerful?

"How about it, Yushi? Do you still think you can beat us? We have so many Soldiers here, all of whom came for the sake of war and fighting. What do you have to fight us with?"

"I tell you again, you only have these two choices. There is no other way. You cannot even take a detour, because our target is you. Without giving us enough benefits and a price, don't think about leaving."

"Also, I have another piece of news for you. Do you want to hear it?"

With a grave expression, the Yushi told Shaoyin to speak. Shaoyin pointed behind them: "About two or three days' distance behind you, a very large tribe is catching up. I think it couldn't possibly be people from your Yushi Tribe, right?"

"Otherwise, how could they have fallen so far behind you? Do you think it's possible that when you left the Shennong Clan, you were discovered, and then Shennong sent them to pursue you?"

"Now that the Fengbo Tribe has left, Shennong must be very angry, right? If your Yushi Tribe leaves as well, will he not spare any cost to pursue you?"

"It just so happens they are also coming to take over the land here. After all, this territory is so large; it couldn't possibly be given to us for nothing, right?"

The Yushi was skeptical: "How do you know? We didn't even discover them. How do we know you aren't lying to us?"

"Because we discovered it a long time ago. Before you even arrived here, we had already discovered your tracks, which is why we were waiting here. If we could discover you, how could we not discover the tribe behind you?"
