Chapter 208 Yiyuan

Jackal tribe, sacrificial altar—

"You...you dare to..."

The jackal chieftain, lying on the ground, stared incredulously at the viper before him, spitting out another mouthful of blood as he spoke.

"What? What do you mean, 'What'?" Han She wiped the bone knife on his body, her disdainful gaze filled with murderous intent as she looked down at the jackal beastmen surrounded below.

"You dare to invade your jackal tribe and even wound your chief, don't you think?"

“I not only dare to hurt your leader, I dare to kill him, believe it or not?” He pointed his knife at the group of jackal beastmen below who were casting fierce glances at him.

"If you kill our jackal chieftain, we'll fight you to the death!" a jackal beastman said angrily upon hearing Han She's words.

"Oh? Heh..." Han She chuckled wickedly after hearing this, then his eyes turned sinister as he raised his voice and shouted, "Come on? Come on now, I'm waiting for you here."

He spread his arms to the left and right, speaking provocatively to them.

"Don't be so arrogant!" the jackal orc shouted angrily.

"Is this what you call arrogant?" Han She took two steps forward and questioned, "Why didn't you call yourselves arrogant when you were besieging my Ningning?"

"I..." The jackal beastman was rendered speechless by his words.

Then, as if remembering something, he immediately said, "But we didn't hurt a single hair on her head!"

"Yeah yeah……"

The other jackal beastmen nearby echoed this.

"That won't do. Anyone who tries to hurt Ningning will die. You can't even have that thought," Han She said coldly.

"You...you...Han She has indiscriminately killed innocent people, you deserve a terrible death!"

Upon hearing the last four words again, Han She's eyes flickered slightly, but then his fierce gaze returned.

Upon hearing this, Yan angrily retorted, "When you allied with the Lion Clan and the Leopard Clan to attack my Crimson Flame Mountain, did you ever consider the possibility of yourselves suffering a terrible death?"

"So many of my Crimson Flame Tigers have lost their lives at the hands of your Jackal Clan, and so many trees in my Crimson Flame Mountain have been destroyed by you."

"Who exactly is indiscriminately killing innocent people? Who deserves to suffer a terrible death?"

“We…” The jackal orc was once again speechless, not knowing what to say.

"Why waste words with them? Let's finish this quickly. Ningning and the others should be back by now," Xuanmo said from the side of the stage. "I still want to go back and kiss Ningning."

"Oh, right, Ningning and the others should be back soon." Yan looked at Han She, reached out and gestured to take the bone knife from his hand, saying, "Han She, stop dawdling, why don't you just take care of this for me?"

"You don't dare, but we still have the Lion Clan and the Leopard Clan. They will avenge us. Just wait and see."

"We'll talk about that when you're still alive," Nightmare said.

"You dare not, huh?" Han She looked at the long knife in her hand that she had specially sharpened before coming out. "Looks like I'll have to polish it again."

He moved his neck from side to side and loosened his shoulders.

He gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and then slashed down with it.

"ah--!"

As the jackal chieftain uttered his last words, the jackal beastmen below closed their eyes, their expressions filled with pain and fear as they trembled, yet dared not look up.

Inside Shu Ning Cave—

The group that had teleported back appeared in Shu Ning's cave.

Several people sat around the stone table and began to discuss.

"What did you find out in the Lion Clan?" Mo Li asked.

At this moment, Shu Ning took out several bowls of water and some fruit and distributed them to them.

“The Lion Clan has four entrances and exits in total,” Yi Yuan said, taking the water Shu Ning handed him and drinking it.

“Besides two guards at each entrance and three guards on each mountain taking turns on duty, the rest is the Lion Clan’s internal settlement area…” Jin Tong recalled, picking up some fruit.

Xuan Lin used the fruit in his hand to demonstrate to them, saying, "The weakest point in the defense is the cliff in the southeast, because the terrain is steep and there are no guards stationed there."

“However, there is a river below,” he added.

After thinking it over, Yi Yuan began to analyze the attack strategy. "Alright, I will lead the tribe's snake beasts in from the southeast river."

"Wait a minute," Shu Ning interrupted them as they began discussing how to attack the enemy. "Perhaps we can use another, less strenuous method."

Several beastmen looked up at Shu Ning.

"And it can be achieved without losing a single soldier."

Hearing this, the group looked at Shu Ning with confusion and surprise.

Yi Yuan looked at Shu Ning with great interest, "Oh? Ning Ning, what brilliant plan do you have?"

"Ningning, what's your plan? Tell me quickly!" Jintong asked excitedly.

“The lion chieftain and his eldest son like to invade other tribes, while the youngest son doesn’t. He might be a good chieftain,” Shu Ning said.

"Does Ningning want the lion clan leader's youngest son to become the leader?" Yi Yuan said, looking at Shu Ning with admiration.

"Friendly reminder: Yi Yuan's favorability has increased by 5 points, and his current total favorability is 81."

"Mm." Shu Ning nodded.

"Not bad, Ningning. You learned so much about the Lion Clan's internal affairs after just one trip." Yiyuan patted Shu Ning's head and praised her gently.

"It's alright, haha," Shu Ning laughed.

“As far as I know, the Lion Clan Chief’s youngest son is not highly regarded by the Lion Clan Chief,” Mo Li said. “Moreover, his suggestions are almost never adopted by the Lion Clan.”

"If he's not valued, how can he become the leader of the Lion Clan?" Jin Tong asked.

“The Lion Clan leader only has two sons. As long as we kill his eldest son, the problem can be solved.” Xuan Lin said, a dark look appearing in his eyes.

“Not enough,” Yi Yuan said.

"We still need to deal with the Lion Clan leader first," Jin Tong said.

“Not bad,” Yi Yuan affirmed.

"The problem is, what method can directly eliminate both of their methods? To get close to them, we still need to enter the Lion Clan," Jin Tong said.

"It's at least better than a direct attack on the Lion Clan, and the losses are significantly reduced," Mo Li said.

“Wait a minute, have you guys thought about this?” Xuan Lin suddenly said.

"What's the problem?" Jin Tong looked at Xuan Lin in confusion.

"What about the lion chieftain's youngest son? Does he want this position? If he doesn't want it, even if we put him in that position, he might not be able to hold onto it."

The group fell silent upon hearing Xuan Lin's words.

“He can do it,” Shu Ning said.

Upon hearing this, the group looked at Shu Ning.

“I just spoke to him about this indirectly, and it’s clear that he doesn’t want to see his lion-kin orcs get hurt again.”

"As for whether he can become the leader, I believe he has the ability."

Hearing Shu Ning's affirmation of the other males, the other males felt a surge of jealousy.

"Ningning, how can you be so sure he can do it?" Mo Li asked.

"Yeah, Ningning, you know him so well after only meeting him once?"
