Chapter 2045: Chapter 2049: Turning Point of the Southern Barbarians War
Xiong King gripped the map of Baili Mountain tightly.
Fox King slowly unfolded his hand and unrolled the red and white map.
On that map, pear trees bloomed everywhere, the mountains and fields covered with pear trees and Li Hua, the Fox King’s favorite Li Hua...
She noticed the note in the upper left corner, three words—
Baili Mountain.
She recalled the day she left the Barbarian Clan’s Imperial Palace when Xiong King chased after her and stopped her, saying he plants a hundred pear trees every year on a barren mountain, and over eighty years, he’s planted over eight thousand...
"Anna, let’s not be kings anymore, let’s retire to Baili Mountain together..."
Xiong King’s voice seemed to still echo in her ear, Fox King was heartbroken, unable to stop her tears.
All her life, she had never loved anyone.
The only one she loved was Xiong King, back then, he wasn’t the Xiong King, and she wasn’t the Fox King...
She fell in love with him at first sight and wrote him a love letter.
She dreamed of marrying him.
Unfortunately, domestic unrest, her father was mortally wounded by an assassin, and before dying, he called Fox King to his side, making her swear never to marry outside her clan...
She swore.
As the only child of the late Fox King, she ascended the throne smoothly.
And slowly forgot about Xiong King, who was deeply in love.
Eighty years have passed.
No one expected that they would end up like this.
In the distance, Qin Tian and Yan Ruolan stood on a hill, watching Fox King cry herself into tears, both silent.
After a while, Qin Tian finally spoke: "I heard Xiong King liked Fox King, but how did Xiong King die and Fox King cry so fiercely? Doesn’t Fox King dislike Xiong King?"
"Ah, there’s a long story behind it... Their love was forcibly separated by race and responsibility... My father told me that Fox King and Xiong King later married and had children just to continue the lineage, without any affection."
Yan Ruolan took a deep breath and said: "Xiong King married a wife who bore him a son and a daughter, but he never gave that woman the title of Queen, only a concubine..."
"Fox King as well, married the eldest son of a prominent Fox Clan family and had a son. Later, when her husband was killed by beasts in battle against Imperial City, she never remarried..."
Hearing this, Qin Tian exhaled deeply, turned and walked back, saying: "I didn’t expect such a tragic love in the land of Southern Barbarians..."
...
Originally chaotic Southern Barbarians, with the deaths of Xiong King and Tiger King, their passing spread across the Barbarian Clan lands, causing greater chaos among the factions.
At this time, Lion King, after meticulous planning, began his great harvest.
Among the major clans there was no longer resistance, so he began infiltrating the succession of new kings from Xiong Clan and Tiger Clan, and even helped nominate someone from the Wolf clan’s Imperial Family who fled Wolf Clan lands as the new Wolf King, to counter Qin Tian.
Lion King’s goal was clear, he wanted to use these methods to bring the major Barbarian Clan clans under his control, to deal with Qin Tian.
However, Qin Tian didn’t panic.
Tiger King fell into Qin Tian’s hands, Qin Tian didn’t kill him, just destroyed half of Tiger King’s Dan Tian Qi Sea, causing Tiger King’s cultivation to regress, and for his lifetime never succeed in Tribulation Crossing, his cultivation would stay below Transcendence Tribulation Stage.
In such circumstances, Qin Tian had Tiger King take his years ago purchased Demon Blood Poison, this concoction was a unique poison mixed and refined by Qin Tian himself, colorless and tasteless, doesn’t affect any normal human functions, but every quarter must take the Antidote, otherwise within five days, the body will rot and die!
This Qin Tian secret-produced Demon Blood Poison, only he could refine the Antidote, after Tiger King took it, unless Tiger King wished to die, he had to obey Qin Tian.
Originally thinking Tiger King would rather die than submit, but when he heard Qin Tian would allow him to return to the Tiger Clan and continue being Tiger King, this guy compromised.
"Qin Tian, Fox King is displeased you didn’t kill Tiger King... She asked me to deliver a message requesting you immediately kill Tiger King to avenge Xiong King."
Upon hearing Qin Tian planned to release Tiger King, Yan Ruolan came and told Qin Tian.
"We can’t kill him yet, once Tiger King is killed, the Tiger Clan will truly descend into chaos, then benefit the Lion Clan."
Qin Tian said: "Go back and tell Fox King, Tiger King will surely die, once we’re strong enough to suppress the Lion Clan, or in other words, once Tiger King loses his value, we can kill him anytime."
Yan Ruolan said: "Fox King said, if you kill Tiger King, she would be willing to form an alliance with us."
"Hiss..."
Unexpectedly, Fox King used this as a condition, Qin Tian felt a sudden headache.
But after hesitating a moment, he refused: "Tell Fox King this condition won’t work, at least not now, we must prioritize the bigger picture. Now the chaos in Southern Barbarians is Lion King’s opportunity, also ours."
Qin Tian stared at Yan Ruolan and said: "Don’t you want to quickly return to Leopard Clan? Don’t you want Southern Barbarians to stabilize? Ruolan, now the chance has come. I’ve controlled Tiger King with Medicine, this guy, greedy for life, fearing death, surely won’t stir up any trouble, so I’ll teach you the method to refine the Antidote, in the future, you’ll control Tiger King."
Qin Tian brought Yan Ruolan to the Alchemy Room in Lang City, after he had the materials, in half a day Qin Tian taught Yan Ruolan how to refine the Antidote.
Yan Ruolan returned the message to Fox King, explaining how Qin Tian controlled Tiger King with Medicine, and that he passed the Antidote refining method to her.
Under Yan Ruolan’s persuasion, Fox King eventually gave up on killing Tiger King and unexpectedly agreed to ally with Yan Ruolan and Qin Tian!
Fox Clan’s alliance became a crucial turning point in the Southern Barbarians’ war.
Qin Tian personally escorted Fox King back to the Fox Clan, while simultaneously coercing and tempting Tiger King before sending him back to the Tiger Clan.
At this time, the new Wolf King, Xiong King, and Tiger King had already been selected.
However, after Tiger King returned, he discovered the new Tiger King was his only eight-year-old son, immediately reclaiming the throne.
"What, Tiger King returned to Tiger City?!"
In the Imperial Palace of Man City, Lion King felt his anus tighten, his face full of shock.
"How is this possible, Tiger King was captured by Qin Tian, could he still live?" Lion King felt he hadn’t calculated correctly, what was happening?
The General in the hall spoke firmly, "Your majesty, the news is definitely true, now Tiger King has already returned, our joint military agreement with the Tiger Clan, signed just now, Tiger King will not..."
"No need to think, haha, he might never want to see me again."
Lion King smiled bitterly, thinking, after his return, probably his first act would be to target me!
He understands Tiger King, this guy, narrow-minded, strong desire for revenge.
