Xu Xiwang and the others looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise.
Which tribe are you from?
The leading barbarian chieftain spoke, his tone sinister: "Tell me, where do you come from, which faction do you belong to, and why have you come to my Nanling tribe!"
"We come from the outside world."
Xu Xiwang said.
"Nonsense! No one from the outside can get in at all!"
The barbarian chieftain's face contorted with rage upon hearing this: "Which tribe are you spies from?!"
Bang!
After saying that, he drew his battle axe from his back and chopped it down with force, creating arcs of light that cut through the air.
"Capture him! Ask him something."
Xu Xiwang gave Han Yijian a wink, and Han Yijian immediately understood.
With a single sword strike, the world changed color, and the sharp sword energy swept in all directions, instantly enveloping all the barbarians.
There were wounds all over their bodies, but none of them were fatal.
Han Yijian's figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment he appeared in front of a barbarian chieftain.
"court death."
The barbarian leader flew into a rage and brought his battle axe down with a fierce gust of wind.
"Destruction Fist!"
Han Yijian's eyes were icy cold. He raised his right arm, and as he opened and closed his palm, lightning crackled.
Click!
All that could be heard was the crisp sound of bones breaking.
The barbarian leader trembled violently, blood gushing from his tiger's mouth, and his arm gripping the battle axe went limp.
"Don't move, or you'll lose your head."
Han Yijian shouted coldly, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light.
The barbarian leader froze, not daring to move an inch.
Upon seeing this, the other barbarians stopped in fright, their eyes filled with horror.
Han Yijian crippled the leader's arm in one move, making them extremely wary.
Xu Xiwang shook his head slightly upon seeing this scene.
In this world, only the strong can possess absolute authority and status.
Upon seeing this, they all stopped attacking, their eyes revealing a glint of fear.
"Are you really from the outside world?"
The barbarian chieftain gritted his teeth and said, "No matter which faction you come from, those who have made enemies of my Nanling tribe today must die!"
"I am a friend of Di Tian."
Xu Xiwang's lips curled into a wicked smile.
Whoosh!
The barbarian chieftain was stunned upon hearing this, completely dumbfounded.
"Di Tian?"
Judging from the appearance of the barbarian leader, Xu Xiwang concluded that he knew who Di Tian was.
Sure enough, the barbarian chieftain took a deep breath and, suppressing his emotions, said, "Would you be so kind as to visit your tribe?"
"Lead the way."
Xu Xiwang said indifferently.
The barbarian chieftain asked no more questions and turned to walk towards the distant valley.
Xu Xiwang and his companions followed closely behind, passing through many small tribes along the way. Each tribe had a unique architectural style and distinctive features.
Whenever they are encountered, they are always on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Why are the people of the Nanling tribe behaving like this?"
Xu Xiwang frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
Boom!
Suddenly, the earth shook violently, the sky and earth were turned upside down, and boundless smoke and dust rose into the sky.
"Coo coo coo!"
The barbarian chieftain walked up to a village and let out a shrill cry.
Soon after, figures began to appear from all directions.
Their eyes were cold and their killing intent was palpable. They surrounded Xu Xiwang, giving them no way out.
"This is a guest I invited."
The barbarian chieftain offered a brief explanation before venturing deep into the tribe.
The group exchanged glances and then stepped inside.
In the village, houses stand side by side, and groups of barbarians patrol and move about.
"Your Majesty is back! Quickly prepare the food."
"Quickly, inform the old priest."
The barbarians bowed respectfully.
"No need. How can I not welcome a friend coming from afar?"
An old man with a wrinkled face came out of the house.
He was hunched over, his face weathered, and he held a tortoise shell in his hands.
Xu Xiwang's pupils contracted as he sensed a powerful energy within the old man's body.
Although old and frail, he is not to be ignored.
The old priest, with a peaceful gaze, slowly approached and stood before Xu Xiwang.
He examined him carefully, a wise glint in his eyes, and finally sighed, "Your psychic power is quite strong..."
Xu Xiwang remained silent, tacitly agreeing with the old priest's judgment.
Since he became the Human Emperor, countless humans have gathered their faith in him.
Therefore, Xu Xiwang possesses extremely strong mental power.
But most people wouldn't be able to tell!
This greatly surprised Xu Xiwang about the old man's strength!
"This ancient imperial clan was actually a continent?"
Xu Xiwang asked curiously.
"This continent was destroyed by many powerful beings more than 100,000 years ago."
The old priest slowly said, "The area we are in is the edge of this continent, called the Southern Ridge."
"The vastness of the Nanling Mountains is beyond imagination; even our ancestors had never traversed them all."
"There are countless human tribes on this continent, but all of them are followers and descendants of the Human Emperor. Only the ancient imperial clan are descendants of the Human Emperor, and they number only a few hundred or so."
The old priest sighed softly, "It is said that the bloodline of the ancient imperial family was so pure that they were blessed by the heavens, and every generation produced geniuses. They took the surname Emperor and ruled over hundreds of millions of people."
"Moreover, they also possess a supreme treasure—the Azure Dragon Seal!"
When the Azure Dragon Seal was mentioned, a burning glint appeared in his eyes.
"Azure Dragon Seal?"
Xu Xiwang raised his eyebrows, showing interest.
"Yes."
The old priest smiled and continued, "Legend has it that this item was forged by the Emperor himself and has the power to protect the nation."
"In the past, the Human Emperor created this seal to intimidate all the races in the heavens."
Xu Xiwang's gaze sharpened.
"The Human Emperor?"
"Hmm..." The old priest nodded, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes, and murmured, "The greatest being in human history, truly the progenitor of human civilization!"
"Good wine and good food, to welcome our guests who have come from afar!"
Soon, a fragrant aroma wafted through the air.
Xu Xiwang and the others sat on a high platform, with various delicacies laid out beside them.
In addition to alcoholic beverages, there are also various fruits and meats.
"Please make yourselves at home, don't be shy."
The old priest sat down and raised his cup to invite everyone to drink.
Xu and the others exchanged glances, raised their glasses, and drank together.
After a few rounds of drinks, Xu Xiwang suddenly said to the barbarian chieftain, "What do you want me to help you with? Tell me."
"Your Mightiness..."
The barbarian chieftain narrowed his eyes slightly. "You actually guessed my intentions."
Xu Xiwang interrupted him directly, saying calmly, "You're just looking at our strength and the fact that we don't seem to have any ill intentions. Judging from your intentions, you probably want us to do something for you."
