Hearing the reports from the people of the tribe, Chi Li's face was as gloomy as water.

More than five months ago, the first ferocious beast appeared in the territory.

That powerful beast that resembles a lizard is comparable to a ninth-grade human master in terms of combat power.

After the beast appeared, it marked the area within a radius of dozens of miles as its territory.

Later, a dozen people from the Jiuli tribe "invaded" the territory marked by it and were ruthlessly slaughtered by it.

This move naturally angered the Jiuli tribe.

Therefore, more than a dozen elders of the Jiuli tribe joined forces to encircle and suppress the ferocious beast.

However, facing a powerful beast comparable to a ninth-grade master, the elders of the Jiuli tribe were completely helpless.

Finally, after seriously injuring three elders, they had no choice but to retreat in a hurry.

Afterwards, after discussion, the people of the Jiuli tribe designated the territory of the beast as a restricted area, not allowing their fellow tribesmen to enter easily.

I had thought that if I couldn't afford to offend it, I could always avoid it, and I thought that I would be able to live in peace with this ferocious beast in the future.

However, it turns out that they overestimated it.

The appearance of this ferocious beast is just the beginning.

Afterwards, nearly a hundred ferocious beasts suddenly appeared in various territories of the Jiuli tribe one after another from nowhere.

They all followed the example of the lizard beast, marking its territory.

In just a few months, nearly half of the Jiuli tribe's territory was occupied by those ferocious beasts.

During this period, the people of the Jiuli tribe fought many battles with those ferocious beasts.

Also destroyed more than twenty ferocious beasts.

But what shocked them was that after they destroyed these beasts on the first day, a stronger beast would appear again on the second day.

These beasts seemed endless.

"Elder, what is the strength of these beasts in our territory now?"

Chi Li asked an old man in a serious tone.

"According to our investigation, there are six beasts comparable to a human ninth-grade master, and twenty-three beasts comparable to an eighth-grade master. The weakest of the remaining beasts is comparable to a human half-step master."

As soon as the news came out, the whole palace was filled with gasps.

You know, their entire Jiuli tribe has also reached the ninth-grade grandmaster realm.

Faced with this situation, even if the entire Jiuli tribe used all their strength, it would be impossible to drive away these ferocious beasts.

"Master Ye San, this is the dilemma our Jiuli tribe is currently facing."

"We really have no other choice, so we invited you here. We hope your Ye family can help our Jiuli tribe get rid of these ferocious beasts."

"You can ask for anything!"

Chi Li said to the young man beside him with a helpless look on his face.

This young man was none other than Ye Yunping, who had been doing business with the 36 southern barbarians.

Originally, the Ye family's plan was to let Ye Yunping represent the Ye family to support the Jiuli tribe and help the Jiuli tribe to rise up and completely unify the 36 tribes of the Southern Barbarians.

In the future, when facing the threat from the Yan royal family or Zhou, the 36 Nanman tribes can be used as a surprise force to help the Ye family at a critical moment.

However, things changed, and within just a few months, the Yan royal family was wiped out by the Ye family.

Before long, Lian Zhou also completely succumbed to the flames.

At this point, whether the thirty-six southern barbarians were united or not was completely meaningless to the Ye family.

Even after unification, the thirty-six southern barbarians would become a threat to the border of the Yan Dynasty.

Based on this consideration, the Ye family decided not to support the Jiuli tribe alone, but to do business with all the Nanman tribes equally to avoid monopoly.

After hearing Chi Li's words, Ye Yunping pondered for a moment:

"Chief Chi Li, can you find out where these beasts came from?"

"You should know that ferocious beasts comparable to humans' ninth-grade masters are extremely rare. Even in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the west, there are only a few."

"But, six of them appeared in the territory of Jiuli tribe alone. This situation is too common."

"They can't appear without a trace!"

Hearing Ye Yunping's question, Chi Li replied in a deep voice: "Young Master Ye San is very discerning!"

"I have made the same guess."

"So, I once led the tribe's experts to investigate this matter."

"Oh? What's the result?"

A look of curiosity appeared on Ye Yunping's face.

Hearing his question, Chi Li shook his head in confusion: "I didn't find any results!"

"I explored all the territories occupied by ninth-grade beasts, but found nothing."

Ye Yunping's sharp discovery is very interesting.

"Ninth level?"

"So you haven't explored the territory of those beasts that are comparable to the ninth-grade Grandmaster level?"

Chi Lidian nodded: "Not bad!"

"With a territory of several dozen miles, and their perception ability, they can detect any disturbance in the territory immediately."

"Although I am also a ninth-grade master, compared with those ferocious beasts, my strength is still too weak!"

Obviously, as a ninth-grade grandmaster, Chi Li is no match for those ferocious beasts.

"Dudududu~"

Ye Yunping tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers, and after a while he said:

"Have you ever thought about joining forces with other tribes to figure out this problem together?"

Hearing this, Chi Li immediately smiled bitterly: "Other tribes are worried about our Jiuli tribe's survival, and they wish that all of us would be wiped out by those ferocious beasts. How could they possibly help us?"

"Although there are several tribes that are friendly with us Jiuli, there are no ninth-grade masters in their tribes."

"So..."

After listening to his explanation, Ye Yunping finally understood the current predicament of the Jiuli tribe.

After a long while, he said quietly: "This matter is of great importance. I will report to my father!"

"Besides, I don't have enough power to deal with these beasts. I must send people from Yanjing City."

"As for the conditions for our action, they will be determined by my father at that time."

This matter is beyond Ye Yunping's ability.

Moreover, he instinctively felt that this matter was definitely unusual.

The Ye family must send a real master over.

"Thank you, Third Master Ye!"

"As long as you have a mission, my Jiuli tribe will certainly do its best to meet it!"

Chi Li Chong Ye Yunping clasped his fists and bowed, speaking sincerely.

........

After leaving the Jiuli tribe, Ye Yunping immediately sent a letter to Ye's Feiying.

Write down everything here in detail in the letter.

As he watched the eagle fly away, a smile appeared on his face:

"This time the matter is so serious, I wonder who my father will send?"

"Brother? Or second brother?"

"I heard that they all broke through to the Supreme Hedao Realm, and I am the only one still lingering in the Ninth Grade Grandmaster Realm."

“I wonder when we can catch up with them?”
