Emerging contentedly from the Immortal King’s Tomb, Qin Tian headed straight for Lang City.

Upon returning to Lang City, Qin Tian began collaborating with Yan Ruolan to clean up the aftermath of the Barbarian Clan.

At this time, Yan Ruolan had already secured her footing in Leopard City, and with the help of the Fox King, the Leopard Clan and the Fox Clan joined forces, making the Lion Clan dare not act rashly.

The Wolf Clan became Qin Tian’s de facto territory; the Tiger King of the Tiger Clan had become Qin Tian’s puppet, leaving only the Lion King struggling to hold on.

Even though the Lion King possessed the Barbarian Clan’s strongest army, the widest territory, and even occupied Man City, the widely recognized capital of the Barbarian Clan among the five clans, he was powerless against Qin Tian’s unstoppable force. Especially after failing to seize the treasure, the Lion King’s last hope was gone.

The Lion King repeatedly sent people to request aid from the Imperial City.

However, the outcome was always silence.

Originally, the Fourth Prince had supported rescuing the Lion King, but after their failure to seize the treasure, Long Yin of the Imperial City made new moves, and the Fourteenth Prince’s covert actions were also detected by the Fourth Prince. Thus, the Fourth Prince was now too preoccupied to care about the Southern Barbarians.

Moreover, during the failed treasure hunt, the Fourth Prince lost face.

The Great Yin Holy Sect lost many people, and its leading Holy Envoy, Ming Feng, directly demanded an explanation from the Fourth Prince without a shred of respect, leaving the Fourth Prince in a predicament.

He knew he could not use the Great Yin Holy Sect or provoke them at this time, so after paying them a substantial compensation, the matter was settled.

...

Southern Barbarians, Leopard City.

Qin Tian and Zhou Yang led their troops to Leopard City, where Yan Ruolan personally came out to greet them.

”Qin Tian, I cannot let go of the Tiger King and the Lion King. This time, I’m planning to kill the Tiger King first, then the Lion King. This is my promise to my father.”

Upon arriving at Leopard City, Yan Ruolan got straight to the point with Qin Tian.

”Alright, I wholeheartedly agree. Tell me your strategy to eliminate them.”

Qin Tian began discussing plans with Yan Ruolan in the room.

In the current situation, the Leopard Clan was increasingly under Yan Ruolan’s control, and with the Fox King’s support, she was capable of eliminating the Tiger Clan.

However, to simultaneously eliminate both the Tiger Clan and the Lion Clan seemed a bit unrealistic, and such a war would result in many deaths.

Qin Tian explained this to her.

”I know. Killing the Tiger King is just for revenge; I only need to kill him.”

Yan Ruolan said: ”He regularly needs my antidote; without it, he will die, isn’t that right?”

Yan Ruolan looked at Qin Tian, and Qin Tian nodded: ”Yes, he will die.”

Seeing Yan Ruolan remain silent, Qin Tian said: ”If the Tiger King dies suddenly without warning, the Tiger Clan will surely fall into chaos. At that time, they might ally with the Lion Clan again. Have you considered that? If they ally, it would be difficult for you to kill the Lion King.”

”I know.”

Yan Ruolan said: ”But I can’t care about that; the Tiger King and the Lion King must die!”

”Alright, given our current power, it isn’t difficult to kill them, but it requires careful planning.”

Qin Tian scratched his head and said: ”How about this, I’ll leave Zhou Yang, my strategist, here to help you realize these two objectives?”

”Can he?” Yan Ruolan was not very familiar with Zhou Yang.

”Of course,” Qin Tian said, ”He is my brother in life and death, wise and resourceful. Leaving him here to help you pacify the Southern Barbarians, wouldn’t that be better?”

This time, Qin Tian and Zhou Yang brought tens of thousands of Qin Army soldiers, and their actual purpose was this.

Over in West State, the Imperial City suddenly began reinforcing their troops, Yueya City was getting tight, and Qin Tian couldn’t afford to spend more effort on the Southern Barbarians, so he planned to leave the Southern Barbarians’ affairs to Zhou Yang. With Zhou Yang in charge, Qin Tian was reassured.

”Pacify the Southern Barbarians?”

Hearing Qin Tian’s words, Yan Ruolan was quite surprised, ”Qin Tian, what do you mean by this?”

”It means nothing other than helping you ascend to the Barbarian King’s throne.”

”Barbarian King?”

Upon hearing Qin Tian’s words, although she had guessed it in her heart, Yan Ruolan was still shocked: ”I just inherited my father’s wishes to become the Leopard King, and you want me to be the Barbarian King? This... surely the other clans won’t agree!”

”You think too much,” Qin Tian chuckled and said: ”Looking at the current six major clans of the Southern Barbarians, who would oppose your ascent to the Barbarian King’s position? The Fox King? She’s your ally, right?”

”She won’t.” Yan Ruolan shook her head.

”The Tiger Clan and Xiong Clan? If you kill the Tiger King and control the new Tiger King, would they dare to oppose? Even the current Tiger King wouldn’t dare.”

Qin Tian said, ”As for the Xiong Clan, they’re led by a young’un, and they’re on good terms with the Fox Clan. Moreover, the Leopard Clan has helped them quell uprisings before, so the Xiong Clan definitely won’t oppose you now.”

”That leaves only the Lion Clan, so as long as Zhou Yang stays here to stabilize the Tiger Clan and kill the Lion King, when the army marches into Man City, no one would dare oppose you becoming the new Barbarian King, right?”

Qin Tian looked at the stunned Yan Ruolan and laughed, ”Ruolan, once you become the Barbarian King, I can promise you that all of the territory I occupy in the Wolf Clan will be yours to manage. I’ll fully support you in becoming the new Barbarian King, allowing all the Southern Barbarian clans to live happy and stable lives...”

Qin Tian’s final words hit directly in Yan Ruolan’s heart; before he finished speaking, Yan Ruolan excitedly jumped up and hugged Qin Tian.

”I’m just a woman from the frontier, Qin Tian, why are you treating me so well...”

Yan Ruolan said excitedly, ”Ruling the Barbarian Clan is something I never dared to imagine; even among my Leopard Clan ancestors, only once did they take over Man City... This... my father and I never imagined one day it would...”

”Once you become the Barbarian King, your father’s spirit in heaven will be very comforted.” Qin Tian held her and said.

”My father is very comforted now.”

Yan Ruolan leaned into Qin Tian’s chest and said: ”Now that you’ve said so, I’m quite tempted. I wish for the Barbarian Clan to unite and stop internal conflicts. If I can become the Barbarian King, I will do my utmost to eliminate inter-clan gaps...”

”Hmm, I believe in you.”

Qin Tian whispered: ”That’s why I came to Leopard City this time, to have you and Zhou Yang continue to cooperate to stabilize the Southern Barbarians and provide a stable rear for my West State battlefield.”

”Ruolan, this time, I’m here to bid you farewell. I need to return to West State, the matters deciding your fate have been concluded. But the issues deciding my fate have yet to be settled; someone has begun pressing me, and I can’t retreat any further, I must fight back. I have to go back; I leave tomorrow.”

”So soon?”

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruolan lifted her head from Qin Tian’s chest, and then, with reluctance, began helping Qin Tian unbutton his pants, saying: ”Since you’re determined to leave, let’s make the most of our time...”
