Chapter 2583: Chapter 2584: Quietly Awaiting the Disciples’ Return
However, Qingxiu Peak even fears no totems, how could it fear the Kunshan Tribe!
"Clan Leader, we had agreements before, which are the foundation of our cooperation. Let’s wait for those few talented disciples in your tribe to emerge before taking further actions. If the Clan Leader wishes to stay on this Qingxiu Peak, then we welcome you!" Princess Xiu said neither humbly nor haughtily.
After all, these were agreed upon beforehand. If the Kunshan Tribe’s Clan Leader intends to go back on his word, it would be losing his honor.
Or if the Kunshan Tribe wants to turn hostile, they can do so after the agreement period.
Upon hearing this, the Clan Leader laughed heartily, "Princess Xiu indeed is a heroine among women. However, you should also consider Qingxiu Peak; I find this place quite appealing and naturally wish to stay for a while!"
Watching the Clan Leader’s departing figure, Princess Xiu’s gaze began to flicker.
"It’s truly infuriating how these people continuously fixate on Qingxiu Peak!" Ice Princess said angrily.
"Ah, that’s the terrifying nature of this world!" Princess Xiu sighed. "How are the clansmen being pacified so far? Despite accumulating the Power of Faith for so many days, there is still no progress!"
Hearing this, Ice Princess slowly shook her head. "During the last crisis, we lost many clansmen, causing them to temporarily lose faith in us. Many refuse to pray, and even those who do, aren’t as sincere as before!"
These clansmen are ordinary people but have their own thoughts. They are simply seeking refuge; if Qingxiu Peak cannot provide effective protection, why should they follow its commands?
"Let them be, I fear the reason the Kunshan Clan Leader wants to stay here is to comprehend this Power of Faith. After all, it’s the only aspect of Qingxiu Peak he fears. For now, let’s cease collecting the Power of Faith!" Princess Xiu said.
In the days that followed, the entire Space-Time Channel suddenly grew quiet.
First, the Moonwater Tribe, without the support of the totem, both elderly ancestors and top leaders went into hiding with no known whereabouts.
Yet, above the Moonwater Tribe, cultivators frequently flew by, and with previous experiences, nearly all tribes are guarding against the Moonwater Tribe.
After all, the totem was merely an incarnation that was destroyed. If they cultivate another incarnation, it can see the light of day again.
Besides, all the tribes have become low-key. Even the Kunshan Tribe, after defeating the Xieyue Clan, did not take further actions.
Day by day passed, and although Ye Luo’s condition was deteriorating because of a slow-spreading virus, he grew worse steadily.
The people of Qingxiu Peak have returned to their original residences, yet they are not as loyal as they once were.
Princess Xiu didn’t focus on these people, and the collection of Power of Faith was paused.
That Kunshan Clan Leader has been residing on Qingxiu Peak, not cultivating, only sitting at the altar several hours daily; people of Qingxiu Peak have grown accustomed to this.
"Sister, tomorrow is the day the Heart Cultivation Hall opens, marking the expiration of our agreement with the Kunshan Tribe!"
The two princesses sat in the main hall, faces marked with worry.
"Exactly, which is why I specially invited Uncle Five and Third Master to discuss together!" Princess Xiu nodded in response.
Soon, Uncle Five and Third Master along with over ten other experts arrived at the main hall.
Princess Xiu glanced around, then sighed softly.
"Xiu’er, if you are uncertain, asking his opinion isn’t unreasonable!" Uncle Five understood what was on Princess Xiu’s mind and spoke softly.
"Forget it, his current state is the consequence of Qingxiu Peak; let’s not trouble him further with what’s ahead!" Princess Xiu sighed. "Everyone is clear about the situation now. If you have good ideas, please speak!"
"Currently, we at Qingxiu Peak are powerless against the Kunshan Tribe. As I see it, only two paths are available: one, to depend on the Kunshan Tribe, though it means Qingxiu Peak will merely exist in name; the second, is to fight to the end. I believe Princess Xiu will undoubtedly choose the latter!"
An elder from Qingxiu Peak spoke directly.
Except for Uncle Five, most present were elders of Qingxiu Peak, cultivated by the Queen in the past, and are absolutely loyal to the two princesses.
"If that’s the case, then so be it, let’s prepare to fight to the end!" Princess Xiu said coldly.
The current situation proves that, in the face of absolute strength, all schemes and deceptions are worthless!
On the next morning, Kunshan Tribe cultivators arrived at Qingxiu Peak.
Among them was a Vice Clan Leader, several Grand Elders, and some talented disciples, who came partly to greet the Clan Leader and also to welcome those few geniuses.
These few geniuses are the totem’s inheritors, but different from ordinary inheritors, their inherited totem powers are stronger. Indeed, the Kunshan Tribe’s past prominence was due to these inheritors.
Rumors also claim these inheritors possess more significant secrets.
Consequently, the Kunshan Tribe’s emphasis on these inheritors is evident.
Even the Clan Leader personally arrived at the front of the Heart Cultivation Hall, waiting for the inheritors to emerge.
Now, the square in front of the Heart Cultivation Hall seemed to belong to the Kunshan Tribe, with not a single person from Qingxiu Peak present.
Of course, this doesn’t mean people from Qingxiu Peak are indifferent.
Princess Xiu and several other experts stood on the tower, observing everything.
However, the opening of the Heart Cultivation Hall did not have a definite time, predicted to happen within three days, but which day, is uncertain.
Nevertheless, three days is insignificant for cultivators, and everyone has enough patience to wait.
Inside Qingxiu Peak, outside an ice coffin, besides two young people, there was also a Spirit Beast present.
Naturally, it was the Fire Turkey and the Skysoar Beast, and another one, the Totem King!
Yet, this so-called Totem King remained sealed, appearing more as a pet.
Nonetheless, these three Spirit Beasts differed essentially.
Most notably, the Totem King hails from the Zhongzhou Empire, merely its pet, whereas the other two are ferocious beasts with notorious reputations in the Martial Realm.
