My tribe has been invincible for thirty years of gacha pulls.

Fortunately, Yan Dang quickly calmed down again. He looked at Yan Cang with a look of disappointment and frustration.

In the end, however, he could only sigh silently; he could actually understand the other person's thoughts.

From Yan Cang's perspective, this involves other fourth-tier tribes, and he himself is only a third-tier martial artist, so naturally he can't get involved in this matter.

However, Yan Dang understood, but he was also genuinely angry.

After all, Yan Cang's hesitation would make their tribe seem less resolute in Ji Shi's eyes.

Although Yan Dang has never met Ji Shi, judging from the intelligence, he will definitely be the key to the Chi Yan tribe's survival in the chaos.

Now there is an opportunity to cooperate with Atobe Mizube on an equal footing.

Yan Cang's hesitant attitude is causing him to miss an opportunity!

Seeing Yan Dang's intense anger, Yan Cang shrank back, not daring to say anything.

Seeing the clan leader like this, he was actually a little scared.

Despite being a bit older than the other person, his superiority had been deeply ingrained in him over the years.

"You go to the Water Department right now... no, I'll go myself. You go and make preparations. Not only me, but also have those old guys send their trusted men with me!"

"Tell them that no one in our tribe is capable of reaching the fifth rank. Once the power of the rules dissipates, our tribe will be the easiest to defeat."

"And all our tribe's hope of successfully weathering this crisis rests on the Tracestone Water Tribe!!"

"Either get out of the tribe, or send someone with me!"

……

When Yan Dang led his men to the Jishi Water Department, Ji Shi was cultivating.

He had already reached the threshold of the mid-stage of the fourth rank and could step into it at any time, but after hearing Shuihe's report, he was slightly taken aback and stopped his subsequent actions.

"You mean... the chieftain of the Crimson Flame Tribe has personally led his people here?"

The documentary even suspected that this was fake news. After all, how could a tribal chief, who was also the strongest in the tribe, go to the base camp of another tribe of the same level?

This is definitely putting oneself in danger.

If the enemy dies here, the Crimson Flame Tribe will have even fewer high-end combatants!

However, when the documentary team arrived outside full of doubts and saw the leader of the dozen or so people, they were slightly taken aback.

Because he realized that the other party was actually a late-stage fourth-tier martial artist!

As long as the intelligence is accurate, this is the patriarch of the Crimson Flame Tribe!

Then Ji Shi saw that the moment this late-stage fourth-tier cultivator saw him, he ran over and tightly grasped Ji Shi's hand.

"You must be the guardian of the Jishi Water Tribe, right? You are clearly a man of exceptional talent and outstanding ability. My name is Yan Dang, and I am the chief of the Chiyan Tribe."

Seeing Yan Dang's attitude, even Ji Shi was momentarily dumbfounded.

What is the other party doing?

However, he quickly responded: "Hello Chief Yandang, I am Jishi, the guardian of the Jishi Water Tribe."

In fact, the author generally trusted the Akanebe clan, after all, they had indeed helped the Akanebe clan a lot.

He was really unsure about Yan Dang's attitude.

What exactly is going on with the other party?

"There are many things Yan Cang doesn't know, which is why he hesitated. It's a pity that no matter how many times I reminded him, he still didn't understand what I meant."

Yan Dang released Ji Shi's hand and sighed as he explained, "That's why I came to talk to you in person, fearing it might leave a gap in the deep alliance between our two tribes."

After hearing Yan Dang's explanation, Ji Shi looked even more bewildered.

What's there to be gap about?

The only thing that bothered him was that Yan Cang's attitude towards him was different from before, and seemed a bit too distant.

"Chief Yandang, please explain clearly what happened, otherwise I really can't rest easy."

After a moment of contemplation, the documentary began to ask.

Yan Dang was slightly taken aback. Seeing that Ji Shi's demeanor didn't seem to be acting, he immediately realized that his thoughts were overthinking things. It seemed that Yan Cang was right; this Ji Shi, the guardian of the lineage, was indeed a very easy person to talk to.

Yan Dang was relieved.

He had no complaints about his performance just now.

Despite the Crimson Flame Tribe's current seemingly prosperous appearance, he was well aware that the tribe was now facing a life-or-death crisis.

Once the power of the rules dissipates, a fifth-tier expert will surely come to oppress them.

If these fifth-tier powerhouses were pure-blooded humans from outside the world, it would be slightly better, at least they would still have a chance to preserve their lineage.

But if this fifth-tier expert comes from a cannibal tribe or a spirit-sacrificing tribe, then we're doomed.

After all, even if they perish, they could not possibly become a sacrificial tribe or a cannibal tribe.

It can only be said that at a time when the tribe's survival was at stake, his reputation as the chieftain was completely irrelevant.

Thinking about all this, Yan Dang shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, I just feel that our Crimson Flame Tribe is saved."

Upon hearing this, the documentary was stunned once again.

He truly couldn't understand why the other person would say that.

Yan Dang naturally did not hide anything from this matter and immediately told the whole story.

Since we have chosen to form a deep alliance with Mizube, we need to be sincere, and there's nothing to hide about this.

Since he has already chosen to gamble, given the current situation, he naturally has to go all in!

After listening to Yan Dang's account, Ji Shi couldn't help but ask, "You told me before that you wanted me to save the Crimson Flame Tribe, was it because of this?"

"Yes."

"I thought it was because the internal strife in your tribe was so severe that it had reached the point of collapse." Ji Shi said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Yan Dang was taken aback, then laughed and said, "How could that be? Although there is internal strife in the tribe, it is all within a controllable range."

Thinking about the Red Flame Clan's plans, Ji Shi nodded silently.

Although he had never met Yan Dang before, he could roughly guess that this man's intelligence was truly remarkable!

He was still wondering if the internal strife within the Crimson Flame Tribe had really gotten this bad.

However, it now appears that his guess was incorrect.

Yan Dang was always worried about what would happen after the power of the rules dissipated. As for the internal strife within the tribe, it was clearly under the control of the other party.

While pondering these things, Ji Shi decided to return the favor. He mentioned a piece of information he had received from the illusory figure: "Clan Chief Yan Dang, don't worry. It's true that the power of the rules has dissipated, but there are still some remnants. For the next year or two, it can only tolerate the existence of the early stage of the fifth rank in the Mangshan region. We won't encounter a moment where we face the peak of the fifth rank as soon as it dissipates."

Upon hearing Ji Shi's words, Yan Dang was overjoyed: "That's great! After all, this way, at least the tribe can survive for a while longer! Early stage of the fifth rank... with some effort, we can still hold our own against them!!"

P.S.: Happy New Year everyone!
