The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Pushing Things Too Far

At this moment, Xing Kong was indeed extremely angry, but he didn’t want to show his anger in front of Jing Yan and Bi Fang.

He was suppressing the anger in his heart, just so as not to affect Jing Yan and Bi Fang.

Bi Fang glanced at Jing Yan and then turned his eyes to Xing Kong.

”Leader Xing Kong, although I’m not a member of the Heavenly Origin Tribe, I don’t think I can stand idly by when the Heavenly Origin Tribe is in trouble. The ore vein that the Heavenly Origin Tribe and the Little Knife Gang are fighting over is related to me. So, I can’t just stand up and walk away,” Bi Fang said resolutely.

Bi Fang is a person of strong sentiment and loyalty; Jing Yan had already noticed this during his time at the Jade Bay Medicine Field.

”If Leader Xing Kong doesn’t mind, I’d like to stay as well,” Jing Yan also said.

”This...”

”I know you mean well, but...” Xing Kong hesitated.

”Leader Xing Kong, Brother Jing Yan and I are, after all, members of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, which should put some pressure on the Little Knife Gang,” Bi Fang said with a sigh of relief.

Hearing what Jing Yan said, Bi Fang indeed sighed with relief. If Jing Yan had not wanted to intervene in the Heavenly Origin Tribe’s affairs, Bi Fang’s previous words might have annoyed him. Seeing Jing Yan agree, Bi Fang was also reassured. Jing Yan, just like he thought, was someone who values loyalty highly, as evidenced by his actions at the Jade Bay Medicine Field.

If Jing Yan were cold-hearted, how would he have stood up for Bi Fang in the medicine field?

As they were speaking, several figures came in one after another.

These people were the elders and other high-ranking figures of the Heavenly Origin Tribe. Jing Yan sensed their presence; they were all in the Three-star Void God and Four-star Void God realm.

The elders greeted Bi Fang initially, and after learning Jing Yan’s identity, exchanged a few pleasantries. Due to the issues with the ore veins, no one was in the mood to say much to Jing Yan and Bi Fang.

”Let’s go, to the ore veins!” Xing Kong waved his hand and said.

”Let’s go!”

”Those damned Little Knife Gang.”

”If they don’t give our Heavenly Origin Tribe an explanation today, we’ll just fight them! If they leave us no way to live, then the Little Knife Gang shouldn’t think they’ll fare well either.”

Among these elders, there were also a few with hotter tempers. Upon hearing that the Little Knife Gang killed Che Yin and injured several brothers, their anger couldn’t be contained.

Without delay, everyone set off immediately. Jing Yan and Bi Fang followed along to the ore vein. They arranged for some brothers to guard the tribe, while over a hundred tribesmen flew towards the ore vein in a grandiose manner.

The ore vein was not far from the Heavenly Origin Tribe; it wouldn’t take them more than two hours to reach it by flight.

”Brother Bi Fang, what’s the deal with this ore vein battle?” Jing Yan asked while flying, as he seemed unclear about the situation, but Bi Fang seemed to know more.

”This ore vein isn’t far from the bases of the Heavenly Origin Tribe and the Little Knife Gang. When it was first discovered, both forces took notice,” Bi Fang explained.

”Speaking of which, I also participated when vying for the mining rights at that time. I am a member of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, so the Little Knife Gang was somewhat cautious of my identity. Thus, back then, it was agreed that each side would take fifty percent of the ore output. It’s just that for some reason, the Little Knife Gang seems dissatisfied with taking only fifty percent and is causing trouble now,” Bi Fang briefly explained the situation.

”I see!” Jing Yan squinted slightly. ”How many divine crystals does this vein produce each year?”

”Divine crystals?” Bi Fang laughed bitterly, ”This is a spirit stone vein, where would divine crystals come from! Moreover, it’s just a small-scale spirit stone vein, and not too many top-grade spirit stones either. If it were a large spirit stone vein or a divine crystal vein, neither the Little Knife Gang nor the Heavenly Origin Tribe could even hope to get involved.”

”Those major tribes are not to be trifled with,” Bi Fang said with a helpless expression.

”A spirit stone vein...” Jing Yan also found it somewhat amusing.

For the sake of a small spirit stone vein, these Void Gods are actually going to fight to the death. At this moment, Jing Yan came to a deeper understanding of the difficulties of survival in this wilderness.

In less than two hours, the group arrived at the ore vein.

From a distance, they could see two groups confronting each other. One group was smaller, only a few dozen people, while the other had no fewer than two hundred. The larger group should be the Little Knife Gang.

Jing Yan stared at the crowd.

...

”Boss, that old bastard Xing Kong has arrived.” A hawk-nosed Martial Artist bowed and said to the elder beside him.

This elder was the leader of the Little Knife Gang, and though advanced in years, he was also in the Five-star Void God realm. His eyes cast a sinister gaze towards Leader Xing Kong, and a grim smile curled his lips.

”We were just waiting for them to come,” the elder sneered.

As Xing Kong and his party arrived, the few members of the Heavenly Origin Tribe who had been confronting the Little Knife Gang quickly stepped aside.

Leader Xing Kong, the elders of the Heavenly Origin Tribe, along with Jing Yan and Bi Fang, stood at the forefront of the crowd.

”Leader, sir!”

”Leader, sir, Che Yin... Brother Che Yin is dead.”

”These damned bastards, they killed Brother Che Yin.”

”Leader...”

The dozens of brothers from the Heavenly Origin Tribe at the ore veins all spoke with grief and anger.

Xing Kong gestured for everyone to stop, his face sullen, and then looked forward.

”Boss Zeng, what do you mean by this?” Xing Kong glared at the elder opposite him, his tone low and questioning.

”Hehe, Leader Xing Kong, judging from your stormy expression, you seem somewhat dissatisfied with my Little Knife Gang!” the elder laughed.

”Boss Zeng, I fear that if you don’t give an explanation today, this matter won’t pass,” Xing Kong tried to control his bloodlust.

”An explanation?”

”Leader Xing Kong, what kind of explanation does your Heavenly Origin Tribe want? Oh, right, I almost forgot, you have a beast called Che Yin who has died. But can this be blamed on my Little Knife Gang? That beast was disrespectful to me, of course, I had to deal with him. Otherwise, wouldn’t I lose face as the gang leader?” The elder spoke nonchalantly.

This elder’s name was Zeng Ya.

”Boss Zeng, let’s not beat around the bush. What’s your intention in bringing the Little Knife Gang to stir trouble at the ore veins today?” Bi Fang stepped forward and asked aloud.

”Mr. Bi Fang is here too!” Zeng Ya’s expression changed slightly upon seeing Bi Fang.

He had some scruples about Bi Fang’s identity. Although Bi Fang’s Martial Arts Cultivation was not very strong, his identity as a member of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace could not be underestimated.

”Boss Zeng, there’s no need for pleasantries. Initially, it was agreed that the ore production would be split fifty-fifty, and the cooperation between the two sides went smoothly. I don’t understand why Boss Zeng is stirring up trouble,” Bi Fang said with a frown.

”Brother Bi Fang, it’s no longer a fifty-fifty split. It’s already been changed to a **** split. The Little Knife Gang takes six, and our Heavenly Origin Tribe takes four,” Xing Kong clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.
