Chapter 1122 The Northern Tribes Make Their Move

Having dealt with the Gu Legion and their plane, Lin Mu felt very tired. He had after all, depleted nearly three quarters of his energy in this and needed to replenish it. Not to mention the great strain he had put on himself in his attempt at breaking the Plane from the anchor of the Xiaofan world.

"Let"s go Little Shrubby. We"re heading back…" Lin Mu said.

"Okay~" Little Shrubby replied.

Lin Mu placed a hand on Little Shrubby and activated the runes on his back.

~SHUA~

The runes glowed brightly as Lin Mu and Little Shrubby were brought to the Kong plane.

~huu~

Lin Mu looked around the lush forest of the Kong Plane and felt a bit better. The spirit Qi here was high in concentration and sped up the pa.s.sive absorption of his body.

Lin Mu simply plopped down onto the ground and Little Shrubby laid behind him as well. Burying his head in Little Shrubby"s fur, Lin Mu closed his eyes, deciding to take a bit of a nap.

In just a few minutes, Lin Mu was fast asleep while spirit Qi swirled around his body lightly.

"Rest well, master…" Little Shrubby said silently before closing his eyes as well.

Though he wasn"t sleeping, even with his eyes closed, his senses were on alert and anyone coming close would be found by him immediately. And if it was an enemy, Little Shrubby didn"t even need to move from here.

Merely a look from him would send forth fires that would rage with no end.

Though something like this was not likely to happen as beasts would be instinctively scared of little Shrubby and wouldn"t dare to come close, anyway. His Aura was more than enough to startle all beasts here since he was at the Dao Treading realm now.

So far Lin Mu hadn"t discovered any Dao Treading realm beasts in the Kong Plane and neither had the alliance, thus they were safe.

The sky started to change colors, becoming orange from the blue and finally black.

The Night pa.s.sed and day came, but Lin Mu didn"t wake up. He slept peacefully, unaware of all that was happening in the world.

Far in the north of the Xiaofan world, the forbidden continent existed. It was the home of the Northern Tribes and their capital was located over three thousand kilometers from the border.

And right now, the capital was in slight chaos. Several cultivators in clothes made out of thick beast furs and hides were running around and loud conversations were happening.

In this capital, there was a large stone building. It had two floors, but it was very wide. The ground floor was hexagonal, while the upper floor was circular in shape. Its top though, was conical and was covered with red paint, seemingly made from blood.

This was the Grand Council of the Northern Tribes.

It was headed by the eleven main tribes of the continent who all had Dao Treading realm elders at their head.

And in there, the eleven tribal heads were currently sitting. A bonfire raged in the center of the hall, while eleven seats were placed around in a circle.

"It has been confirmed, the Life Bead of Gu Yao has shattered." One of the elders sitting in the circle spoke.

"How is this possible? We literally talked to him yesterday!" Another elder shouted.

"Silence!" The oldest looking elder sitting at the helm yelled.

All the other elders quietened after hearing him and became pensive.

"We all know what we were informed about in the past. Ku Waowen sent us an incomplete message… you all know the contents of it." The head elder spoke.

Hearing this the expression of all the elders darkened.

"We cannot believe that, Elder Gunkao. How are we to trust each other if we falter from false allegations of traitors." One of the elders said.

"Oh? Elder Ku Mi? You would disparage the words of your own descendant?" Another elder asked.

"Yes! If it threatens our stability, we cannot trust it. What if this was all a ploy of the enemy to sow discord? Don"t forget that the life bead of Ku Waowen broke over a month after this information was sent to us." Elder Ku Mi spoke.

She was evidently the head of the Ku clan to which Ku Waowen belonged to. While Ku Waowen was the chief of the Ku Clan, the position of the head elder was above that and it belonged to Ku Mi.

These head elders usually didn"t take as much part in the workings on their own clan anymore and would work for the council instead. And thus, they would need to a.s.sign others to be chiefs.

"Elder Ku Mi is right. What if Ku Waowen was forced to send us this message? She could have very well been captured by some experts and controlled to do this. And once she had died, all her worth had been expended." Another elder spoke up.

Silence descend in the hall as the elders thought about their next course of action.

About five minutes later, an elder wearing a large red horn helmet spoke up.

"I think we should do what we had originally planned. It was Gu Yao who had gotten us to change the plan, saying that he would be able to handle it all on his own. And now see where that got us." The elder in the red horn helmet spoke.

"I agree with Elder Niu!" A few elders chimed in.

"This might be work in our favor. If we go along with the plan, if we really do have a traitor among us, they would be forced to reveal themselves." Elder Ku Mi said.

"Alright, all those in favor of going along with our original plan express your intention." Elder Gunkao stated.

"I agree!"

"I agree too!"

"Same for me!"

One by one, all of the elders agreed to the decision.

"Very well! With all of us in unison for this decision, we shall go forth." Elder Gunkao stated.
