In the jungle, Li Xiaotian carried a middle-aged man on his back. His current displayed cultivation was King stage peak, and he was followed by a black horse, which was the transformation of the Dragon Horse.
Although Li Xiaotian did not know about the kill order issued against him in Manzhou at this moment, based on his past experiences, offending a hegemonic power would definitely not be let go.
Therefore, as he was about to leave the mountain city walls, he concealed his cultivation. King stage peak was not too strong, nor too weak, and it was just right for him to blend into Manzhou and gather information.
He wanted to hunt down powerful individuals who had condensed ancient god bodies in Manzhou and extract their ancient god blood to increase his combat power. To do so, he had to understand the power divisions in Manzhou. He did not want to make enemies everywhere like before.
Of course, if Li Xiaotian knew that the entire Manzhou was currently treating him as a delicacy, he probably wouldn't have such plans.
The middle-aged man on his back was named Tie Xiong. He met him in the mountains. Tie Xiong’s cultivation was at the Emperor stage middle-tier. However, when Li Xiaotian found him, the man was already seriously injured and on the verge of death, with broken bones all over his body. If Li Xiaotian hadn't found him, Tie Xiong would have surely died.
Of course, Li Xiaotian wasn't suddenly acting out of great kindness. It was because he discovered that Tie Xiong’s aura was very similar to the five Emperor stage peak experts who were forced to death by the purple-clothed youth when he first arrived here. They should belong to the same tribe, the Tieluo Tribe.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although Tie Xiong tried his best to hide it, Li Xiaotian still discovered from their conversation that the man harbored deep hatred towards the Ancient God Tribe.
Imagine, the powerful figures in his tribe, including the Great Shaman, were all killed by the purple-clothed youth. The Tieluo Tribe, from being in the top three among dozens of surrounding tribes, plummeted to the bottom, lacking even the strength to protect themselves. They could be annexed or destroyed by other tribes at any moment.
This hatred would likely be etched into the bones of every member of the Tieluo Tribe from now on.
And the reason was simply that a member of the Tieluo Tribe had offended that purple-clothed youth, Gu Chen, and this was the punishment given by him.
Li Xiaotian sighed inwardly, feeling a bit of sympathy for the Tieluo Tribe's plight, the sorrow and helplessness of the weak.
At the same time, he thought of himself. If he hadn't had those heaven-defying opportunities, he and his Dragon King Hall would likely have been annihilated by the Tian family at the very beginning of the great changes in the world.
Meanwhile, through his conversation with Tie Xiong, Li Xiaotian also learned about the strength of the Ancient God Tribe, which made him inwardly gasp. Even the Dragon Horse behind him almost couldn't resist turning its head and returning to the mountains to hide.
The entire Manzhou was dominated by the Ancient God Tribe! They were unparalleled, arguably the first. In terms of top-tier hegemonic experts alone, the Ancient God Tribe had three on the surface.
One was the chieftain of the Ancient God Tribe, another was the Great Shaman, and the third was a general in the Ancient God Tribe’s army.
Besides these, there were eight ordinary hegemonic experts, and countless Emperor stage experts.
The Ancient God Tribe occupied the best territory in Manzhou, possessed the best resources, and looked down upon the land of Manzhou like a colossal behemoth.
Even the second most powerful force in Manzhou, the Ten Thousand Demon Royal Court, was far inferior compared to the Ancient God Tribe.
Li Xiaotian couldn't help but marvel inwardly. No wonder Manzhou waged war against the three prefectures single-handedly. The Ancient God Tribe alone was equivalent to at least three hegemonic powers from the other three prefectures.
And the entire Yanzhou only had three hegemonic powers: Jian Ge, Dao Sect, and Huang Dian. Da Feng Novel Network.
This meant that if in ancient times, Manzhou had been more cautious and fought Yanzhou alone, Yanzhou would not have been able to resist!
Of course, this was only a comparison of apparent combat strength. Li Xiaotian was not clear about the actual situation.
However, he understood in his heart that he had gained another enemy.
With the strength of the Ancient God Tribe, such a powerful force, when its authority was challenged, would definitely defend its authority by any means necessary.
Li Xiaotian’s vigilance increased. It seemed he had to be even more careful when acting in Manzhou. Although he was a Golden Body expert, this did not mean he was not in danger of perishing.
“Little brother, this horse of yours is too ill-behaved. If you ask me, when we get to my Tieluo Tribe, I’ll give you a good horse that’s absolutely obedient. As for your horse, we’ll kill it for meat.”
Tie Xiong glanced at the Dragon Horse and said, shaking his head slightly. The horse had good looks, but its temperament was too arrogant, not letting its master ride it. What use was such a horse?
The Dragon Horse heard this, bared its teeth, and let out a low growl, its eyes filled with rage. If it hadn't been warned by Li Xiaotian’s gaze, it would have already swallowed Tie Xiong whole by now.
“Senior is right. I’ve also been considering whether to kill it for meat. If it angers me in the future, I’ll kill it,”
Li Xiaotian spoke unhurriedly, his face showing agreement.
The Dragon Horse’s eyes widened immediately, staring intently at Li Xiaotian and growling continuously.
“Li Xiaotian, are you crazy??!! You dare!!! This is too much! You wanted to ride this master before, and now you want to eat me!!”
The Dragon Horse transmitted its low growl, stopping in its tracks. It was a little scared.
“Be quiet! Keep up, someone’s coming!”
Li Xiaotian transmitted, a smile curving his lips. He had deliberately shown malice towards the Dragon Horse, and he hadn't expected it to actually scare it. It seemed the other party’s spiritual sense wasn't that precise.
At the same time, high in the sky, several streams of light flew by rapidly. Li Xiaotian felt a divine sense pause on him for a moment before leaving.
“It seems someone else has provoked the Ancient God Tribe,”
Tie Xiong said in a low voice, the hatred in his eyes fleeting.
Li Xiaotian smiled and did not respond.
After walking for about two hours, Li Xiaotian’s vision finally caught sight of human habitation.
“We’re almost at the Tieluo Tribe. Little brother, your life-saving grace is difficult to repay. Once we get to the Tieluo Tribe, take whatever you like, and I will satisfy any request you have.”
Tie Xiong spoke, his voice somewhat excited. He had thought he would die in the Suoling Great Formation, but unexpectedly, heaven had not cut off his path, and he had returned.
However, he immediately thought of something else, and his eyes instantly dimmed, and his entire demeanor became dejected.
“Then thank you, senior. I was brought into the Suoling Great Formation by my master to cultivate since childhood and know nothing of the outside world. I hope you can properly introduce me to the situation in Manzhou over the next few days.”
Li Xiaotian replied.
“No problem. These are trivial matters. Just ask whatever you want to know, little brother.”
Tie Xiong said, then took a deep breath and looked ahead.
Ahead, a troop of tribal cavalry was approaching them.
“Chieftain! It’s really the Chieftain!”
“The Chieftain is back!”
“Quick, tell the tribesmen, the Chieftain is back! Our tribe doesn’t need to migrate anymore!”
Not far away, upon seeing Tie Xiong’s appearance, those cavalrymen shouted excitedly.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry troop arrived before Li Xiaotian. When they saw Tie Xiong’s condition, their faces changed drastically.
“Chieftain, you this…!!”
Someone’s voice trembled.
“I’m injured, this brother saved me. Don’t worry, these injuries will recover in no time.”
Tie Xiong quickly interrupted his tribesmen and spoke directly. He knew that his tribesmen could not withstand any shock at this moment.
All the Emperor stage experts in the tribe had left. During this period, the tribesmen of the Tieluo Tribe must have been living in constant fear.
“Yes!”
The members of the Tieluo Tribe responded one after another, and then stepped forward to quickly take Tie Xiong from Li Xiaotian.
