301: Chapter 301 The Helpless and Angry Clan Chiefs

As the torn spatial rift closed, Tushan Yue brought Yuan Ye back to the Fox Clan's territory.

"Hoo——"

The moment her feet stepped onto the core territory of the Fox Clan, Tushan Yue's aura flickered unsteadily, and she let out a long breath of turbid air from her mouth.

"Elder Nine? What happened to you...?"

Before Tushan Yue could catch her breath, a faint fragrance drifted over. Amidst a slight ripple in space, a breathtakingly beautiful woman clad in nine-colored rainbow garments quietly descended.

She was none other than Tribe Leader Hu Meier, the current Clan Chief of the Fox Clan.

Tribe Leader Hu Meier swept her captivating eyes slightly, letting them fall upon Yuan Ye—the Grand Unity Golden Immortal of the Ape Clan whom Tushan Yue had tossed by her feet like a dead dog, with his entire body's bones shattered and on the verge of being crippled. A trace of surprise and doubt surfaced in her beautiful eyes.

Upon seeing Tribe Leader Hu Meier, Tushan Yue hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Tushan Yue greets the Clan Chief."

"No need for formalities." Tribe Leader Hu Meier raised her slender hand, her captivating eyes gazing at Tushan Yue's slightly pale face as she said in a deep voice,

"Weren't you going to investigate the matter regarding the juniors? Why did you end up in this state? And this Yuan Ye... How did the Grand Unity Golden Immortal of the Ape Clan get injured so miserably, and why is he with you?"

Hearing this, Tushan Yue smiled bitterly and dared not hide the slightest detail.

She recounted how she traced the Karma line to that remote region, only to discover that her clan's patrol team and the Ape Clan's patrol squad had simultaneously crossed tens of thousands of li to appear there.

She also told everything word for word: how she later bumped into Zhao Gongming of the Jie Cult, how Zhao Gongming personally admitted to slaying the patrol teams of both clans, and all the way up to the intense battle between both sides.

Listening to Tushan Yue's narration, Tribe Leader Hu Meier's originally calm and cold expression instantly darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Especially when she heard later that the juniors of both clans had actually gathered together to run to an extremely remote and desolate place in the East to slaughter indiscriminately, provoking Zhao Gongming of the Jie Cult to step in and annihilate them,

and causing Tushan Yue and Yuan Ye to storm over and fight a heaven-shattering battle, Tribe Leader Hu Meier's aura suddenly hitched, and her expression turned extremely unsightly.

"Absurd! Simply too absurd!"

Tribe Leader Hu Meier's chest trembled violently, and she coldly glanced at Tushan Yue, her voice carrying an irrepressible fury.

Tushan Yue lowered her head, sensing the Clan Chief's wild fury. Knowing she had been rash this time, she dared not respond for a moment.

Tribe Leader Hu Meier took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her brimming anger, and said coldly,

"You acted without authorization to fight the core chief Disciple of the Jie Cult, causing your qi and blood to vibrate and entangling yourself in Karma. Put Yuan Ye down, and return to your Daoist field to undergo closed-door seclusion and adjust your breath. Without my verbal decree, you are not allowed to step a single step outside the territory!"

"...Understood, I strictly obey the Clan Chief's command."

Secretly rejoicing that she wasn't heavily punished, Tushan Yue hurriedly acknowledged the order.

Her slender hand loosened, tossing the unconscious Yuan Ye onto the ground, while she herself quickly sped away toward her Daoist field.

By the time Tushan Yue's figure completely vanished into the horizon, only the unconscious Yuan Ye and Tribe Leader Hu Meier, standing alone in place, remained in the air.

Tribe Leader Hu Meier lowered her eyes to look at Yuan Ye, who was like a puddle of mud on the ground and exuding a decaying Death Qi all over his body. A cold light flashed in her captivating eyes, and she couldn't help cursing through gritted teeth,

"Idiot! Brainless brute!"

This Yuan Ye charged around recklessly, not only ruining himself, but also almost dragging the Fox Clan down with him!

But now Yuan Ye was heavily injured and unconscious in her Fox Clan's territory, and the harrowing news of the Ape Clan's patrol team being completely wiped out would likely spread among the Ape Clan's higher-ups very soon.

If this matter wasn't suppressed in time and the full sequence of events explained to the Ape Clan's higher-ups, the already fragile alliance between the two clans would likely immediately develop a massive rift.

A fierce look flashed in Tribe Leader Hu Meier's eyes, and she delayed no further.

Her slender hand slashed through the air, tearing open a spatial rift. Then, she grabbed the unconscious Yuan Ye from the ground, stepped into the rift in a single stride, and headed straight for the Ape Clan!

...

The Void Realm rift opened at the border between the two clans.

Stepping out of the spatial rift, Tribe Leader Hu Meier casually tossed the heavily injured and dying Yuan Ye onto the ground like garbage. Her captivating eyes swept coldly across the territory ahead, transmitting a voice mixed with the divine power of the Late Stage Quasi-Saint:

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Dou, Clan Leader of the Apes! Come out and claim this idiot of your clan!"

Her voice shook ten thousand li, startling the myriad beasts in the mountain forests into prostrating themselves.

In a mere three breaths' time, the mountain range below violently shook!

Rumble!

A tower of violent qi and blood reaching ten thousand zhang tall soared into the sky, forcibly tearing apart the clouds all over the sky.

Amidst the twisting Void Realm, a rugged figure stepped out.

As soon as he appeared, Yuan Dou, Clan Leader of the Apes had a face full of Evil Qi, but when his gaze landed on Yuan Ye, who was like a puddle of mud on the ground, his expression changed drastically!

"Yuan Ye?!"

Yuan Dou, Clan Leader of the Apes stepped in front of Tribe Leader Hu Meier, letting out a low roar filled with confusion and shock-anger:

"Clan Chief Hu, what on earth happened?! How did Yuan Ye get injured in such a miserable state? Who did this?!"

"What else could it be? He was used as a spear and schemed against!"

Tribe Leader Hu Meier ungraciously used her divine power to lift Yuan Ye and then threw him over. Her captivating eyes were filled with coldness and disgust as she said coldly,

"Take a good look for yourself! This precious junior of yours lost his head, dragging our clan's Elder Nine to run to a remote place in the East, and provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked!"

Catching the limp Yuan Ye and probing the shattered Dao body within his body, Yuan Dou, Clan Leader of the Apes had an extremely unsightly expression. He hurriedly took out a golden pill to help stabilize his injuries, then forced back his anger to pursue the details.

"What on earth happened?"

Tribe Leader Hu Meier did not hide anything either, telling the other party the whole origin of the matter.

By the end of her recounting, Tribe Leader Hu Meier wore an expression of anger: "Because of your clan member's brainlessness, this kind of incident was caused. I haven't even gotten angry yet, and you're getting angry instead?"

After hearing the origin of the matter, Yuan Dou, Clan Leader of the Apes fell completely silent.

Between heaven and earth was utter dead silence, with only spiritual winds howling past.

In Yuan Dou, Clan Leader of the Apes's crimson eyes, fury and dread intertwined.

How could he fail to hear that there was clearly a pair of black hands behind the scenes fanning the flames, trying to make their two clans go head-to-head with the Jie Cult!

But Yuan Ye's current crippled appearance and the tragic deaths of the two clans' squads—this Karma had solidly landed on the head of the Jie Cult.

In the end, it was Tribe Leader Hu Meier who broke this suffocating silence.

Her captivating eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Yuan Dou, Clan Leader of the Apes, whose expression was uncertain, and bluntly pursued: "Speak, Fellow Daoist Yuan Dou, Clan Leader of the Apes, what do you plan to do about this current situation?"

"Things have already reached this step..."

Yuan Dou, Clan Leader of the Apes took a deep breath, stored the unconscious Yuan Ye into his portable space, a trace of ruthlessness and helplessness flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice,

"Our Karma with the Jie Cult can be considered completely forged. However, the Saint's orthodox lineage is powerful; right now, we must absolutely not blindly start a war and act as a spear for the mastermind behind the scenes."

Speaking of this, Yuan Dou, Clan Leader of the Apes suddenly raised his head, a violent Killing Intent shooting straight into the clouds, and coldly spat out a sentence:

"The urgent priority is to deal with the Tiger Clan first..."
