The Quest for Immortality

The battle at Mount Wusha continued into the night, with both the Bi Fang Tribe and the Shugu Tribe fighting fiercely, resulting in significant casualties.

From that moment on, Bi Jie harbored resentment towards Lugu.

He remembered how Lugu and Dan Zhu conspired together, scheming against him.

The Shugu Tribe and the Danque Tribe even ”borrow” their ancestors’ battle armor to wear?

These two tribes, seemingly unrelated, outwardly competing and fighting, were actually in collusion behind the scenes.

Bi Jie sneered inwardly, looking down on Lugu even more, cursing under his breath:

”Lugu, who is supposed to be a general of the Shugu Tribe, is nothing but a cowardly villain, betraying his ancestor’s legacy to appease the Danque Tribe, siding with Dan Zhu.”

Meanwhile, Lugu listened to his subordinates’ reports, exaggerated with ”added details.”

He learned that Bi Jie secretly attacked the troops of his Shugu Tribe, and even seized resources that originally belonged to them, intending to kill and silence those involved once discovered.

Lugu was infuriated, cursing loudly:

”Bi Jie, you narrow-sighted brat! I can’t believe he’s the Young Master of the Bi Fang Tribe, yet such a despicable scoundrel! Not worth negotiating with!”

In the Barbaric Wilderness, forming alliances is difficult, but making enemies is incredibly easy.

Not to mention, Mo Hua, this ”demon monster,” was stirring things up.

The Bi Fang and Shugu Tribes indeed had a vicious battle, with both sides suffering many casualties.

As a result, the Shugu Tribe and the Bi Fang Tribe were on the brink of a fallout.

Lugu and Bi Jie became ”enemies.”

The two tribes, leaving aside the Danque Tribe and the Wutu Tribe, began fighting among themselves, engaging in no less than seven or eight battles.

Mo Hua also took the opportunity to urge Dan Zhu to take action, but not to kill the Shugu Tribe members, instead to secretly ”collaborate” with them to besiege Bi Jie.

With attacks from both sides, Bi Jie had no doubts left in his mind.

This was, from the start to the finish, a blatant ”trap”!

The Shugu Tribe, with ancestors having the blood of ”sinners” and ”wandering tribes,” inherently branded with ”betrayal,” their promises not worth trusting at all.

Their reputation is nothing but filthy!

Bi Jie harbored great hatred but found no way out, only leading the remaining Bi Fang main department to temporarily retreat to the outskirts of Mount Wusha.

He did not leave but waited like a hungry wolf for another opportunity.

Thus, within the realm of Mount Wusha, only Mo Hua and Lugu’s forces remained.

The situation began to shift.

Mo Hua thought for a while, then secretly sent someone to deliver a letter to Lugu.

The one delivering the letter was the ”traitor” Iron Skill Bone.

Iron Skill Bone did not know whether Mo Hua had guessed his little maneuvers or if it was merely because of his status as the former commander of the Shugu Tribe that he was chosen to deliver the letter.

But he dared not refuse.

Iron Skill Bone handed the letter to Lugu.

The content of the letter was simple.

Mo Hua expressed his willingness to represent Dan Zhu to reconcile with Lugu and the Shugu main department under Lugu, forming an ”alliance” to advance or retreat together.

For a moment, Lugu wondered if Mo Hua was ”making a joke.”

Not long ago, they were at each other’s throats, yet now they send a letter to reconcile and propose forming an alliance?

Such naive and grandstanding tactics, only fools would believe.

Lugu didn’t know what malicious intentions Mo Hua harbored.

Yet he considered it for a moment and decided to agree to the ”meeting.”

Regardless of what motives this demon witch had, they should meet and discuss.

Having gone through all these events, Lugu too felt a strong sense of ”dread” towards Mo Hua, wanting to meet this mysterious, possibly demon-reincarnated ”witch lord” face to face.

The meeting was scheduled at Wufeng Ridge.

Three days later, at Wufeng Ridge.

On a cliff shrouded in eerie winds.

The high-ranking members of the Shugu Tribe and the Danque Tribe met for discussions.

Lugu saw the impressive and extraordinary Dan Zhu.

He also saw, behind Dan Zhu, surrounded by the Barbarian General Chi Feng, Elder Ba Shan, Elder Bachuan, and Iron Skill Bone, along with a group of formidable Golden Core Guards and over a hundred imposing Bone Heavy Armored Barbarian Soldiers, the presence of Mo Hua.

The display was quite grand.

Lugu’s expression remained solemn, though his heart sank.

This demon witch was actually only in the ”Foundation Establishment”?

Lugu glanced at Mo Hua again.

This nearly ”demonic” Foundation Establishment, on the outside, appeared as a young, handsome, fair-skinned boy, even exuding an aura of solemn holiness.

But knowing his deeds, Lugu naturally would not think so.

He only felt that this Foundation Establishment ”witch,” despite appearing to have a righteous aura, exuded an indescribable ”sinister nature.”

Looked both godly and demonic...

Lugu stared at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua was also appraising Lugu.

Lugu’s appearance matched Mo Hua’s expectations.

Most Barbarian Cultivators are robust, tall, yet Lugu appeared even larger, like a ”little giant.”

His face was resolute, his eyes like a hawk, his hands full of calluses, indicating he was a seasoned, powerful Barbarian Tribe warlord.

His cultivation was at the Late Golden Core Stage.

A general at the Late Golden Core Stage has exceptionally strong individual strength.

If it weren’t in a Second Grade Mountain Realm, Lugu’s full strength was hard to restrain.

Mo Hua felt a slight stir in his thoughts, then frankly said to Lugu, ”Let’s reconcile.”

Lugu’s expression was unfriendly, ”Why should I reconcile with you?”

Mo Hua wasted no words, directly saying, ”We’ll make a deal, using your ancestor’s heavy armor, in exchange for our alliance.”

Lugu’s pupils slightly enlarged, he replied coldly, ”You really stole my ancestor’s armor crafting method?”

Mo Hua shook his head, confidently saying, ”You had it, I took it, that’s called ’stealing’. If you didn’t even know the method of crafting armor, and I found out, can that be called stealing?”
