The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Apology and Compensation

The actions of the Yushu Tribe were also within the expectations of those various forces, big and small.

The Heavenly Origin Tribe killed an elder of the Yushu Tribe; the Yushu Tribe will definitely not let it rest.

Sure enough, after a brief silence, the Yushu Tribe took action. Looking at it, it seems the entire Yushu Tribe has mobilized their strongmen to exterminate the Heavenly Origin Tribe.

”This time, the Heavenly Origin Tribe is utterly doomed.”

”The Heavenly Origin Tribe got a powerful ally, but ultimately, it still can’t compare to the Yushu Tribe. It’s said that the Yushu Tribe has two or three Seven-star Void Gods.”

”Indeed! However, the Yushu Tribe truly regards the Heavenly Origin Tribe highly, mobilizing such strong forces.”

”...”

Countless eyes were fixed on the Heavenly Origin Tribe and the Yushu Tribe.

As for the Heavenly Origin Tribe.

”Leader, the Yushu Tribe has moved!” A tribe member responsible for monitoring the Yushu Tribe quickly returned from outside to report to Xing Kong.

”The Yushu Tribe’s leader, Wang Chunlin, along with dozens of elders and others, have left the Yushu Tribe’s headquarters and are flying quickly towards the Heavenly Origin Tribe.” The reporting martial artist’s face was also somewhat pale.

”How far have they reached?” Xing Kong asked hurriedly.

”At their speed, they’ll arrive here in at most thirty minutes.” The martial artist answered with his head down.

”They’re coming, they’re really coming. It seems the death of Zhao Tuan has enraged the entire Yushu Tribe.” Xing Kong seemed to be muttering to himself, his eyes full of worry.

”Leader Xing Kong, you don’t need to worry so much. Even if the Yushu Tribe comes out in full force, it’s fine; it’s just as well to solve the problem at once,” Jing Yan said, not caring at all.

”Brother Jing Yan, the Yushu Tribe may have two or three Seven-star Void Gods, and there are even more Six-star Void Gods. And on our side, there’s only you...” Xing Kong’s tone was full of helplessness.

Indeed, on the Heavenly Origin Tribe’s side, only Jing Yan was holding up. Besides Jing Yan, even he, as the leader, was entirely helpless. Any elder of the Yushu Tribe could easily kill him, a martial artist only at the Five-star Void God Realm.

”I’m enough alone; the other brothers just need to watch from behind.” Jing Yan said, smiling.

”This...” Xing Kong looked at Jing Yan, and Jing Yan’s calmness indeed reassured him quite a bit.

However, he still couldn’t understand why Jing Yan could be so confident. Although Jing Yan is in the Seven-star Void God Realm, the Yushu Tribe doesn’t just have one Seven-star Void God. What if the Yushu Tribe has three Seven-star Void Gods? How could Jing Yan resist three people’s joint attack?

Thinking any more is useless at this time, as the large force of the Yushu Tribe is about to arrive.

”Let’s go out and wait.” Jing Yan stood up, his eyes slightly narrowed as he spoke.

”Alright.” Xing Kong nodded.

After leaving the room, Xing Kong took another look around to ensure the tribe brothers were ready to fight at any time.

In the anxious waiting, the people from the Yushu Tribe finally arrived.

But...

To Xing Kong’s surprise, as well as others, there weren’t many people from the Yushu Tribe. At a glance, there were only a few dozen. Leading them was the Yushu Tribe’s leader, Wang Chunlin. Behind Wang Chunlin stood only members at the elder level from the Yushu Tribe.

Looking closely, there wasn’t a single member below the elder level from the Yushu Tribe.

What’s going on?

Seeing this scene, not only was Xing Kong somewhat dumbfounded, but everyone in the Heavenly Origin Tribe was also baffled.

While Xing Kong was hesitating, Wang Chunlin smiled and was the first to speak.

”Is Leader Xing Kong here?” Wang Chunlin, with a face full of smiles, spoke in an extremely polite tone, without a trace of arrogance.

Although Xing Kong wasn’t sure what Wang Chunlin intended, since the other party asked, he certainly had to step forward.

”I am Xing Kong, the leader of the Heavenly Origin Tribe. Nice to meet you, Leader Wang Chunlin.” Xing Kong braced himself and cupped his fists towards Wang Chunlin.

”Leader Xing Kong, you’re too polite.” Wang Chunlin looked at Xing Kong, and his smile felt like a breath of spring.

”I’ve long heard of Leader Xing Kong’s great name and should have met you sooner.” Wang Chunlin continued, ”I’ve delayed so long, please don’t hold it against me, Leader Xing Kong.”

”Not at all, not at all...” Xing Kong only felt bewildered and completely unclear about the situation. But since Wang Chunlin was being polite, he had to reciprocate.

In his heart, he was wondering what Wang Chunlin’s intention was. If he intended to destroy the Heavenly Origin Tribe, why bother with a few words with him?

”This time, I’ve come with the elders of the Yushu Tribe for two reasons: one is to meet Leader Xing Kong, and the other is to apologize. The Yushu Tribe’s Elder Zhao Tuan was truly an unforgivable sinner. If I had known earlier how wicked he was, I would have expelled him from the Yushu Tribe sooner. Now that Elder Zhao Tuan is dead, I won’t pursue the matter. However, since he caused the Heavenly Origin Tribe to suffer losses in vain, I cannot ignore it.”

”Here are two hundred thousand Divine Crystals prepared by the Yushu Tribe. Please accept them, Leader Xing Kong. Although the resources are not much, it’s a token of our sincerity.” Wang Chunlin said, taking out a Sumeru Ring.

At this moment, Xing Kong was truly dumbfounded.

The Heavenly Origin Tribe killed the other’s elder, yet the other not only didn’t wage war but also came to apologize and offered two hundred thousand Divine Crystals. As for any losses the Heavenly Origin Tribe supposedly suffered, there were none. The Heavenly Origin Tribe had gained resources worth over a million Divine Crystals from Zhao Tuan and his men, making it a huge gain.

How did all this seem so surreal?

”Haha, Leader Wang Chunlin is indeed magnanimous and wise.” Jing Yan chuckled softly and spoke.

”Leader Xing Kong, this is Leader Wang Chunlin’s goodwill, just accept the Divine Crystals,” Jing Yan said, looking at Xing Kong.

Xing Kong nodded to a martial artist beside him, who quickly stepped forward and carefully took the Sumeru Ring from Wang Chunlin’s hand.

”Is this Mr. Jing Yan?” Wang Chunlin shifted his gaze to Jing Yan.

”I am Jing Yan.” Jing Yan nodded.

By now, Jing Yan naturally saw that Wang Chunlin had no intention of taking action against the Heavenly Origin Tribe. Although the exact reason was unclear, he could guess mostly. Wang Chunlin had likely gathered some information from the Luo Jiu Divine Palace about him.

”Mr. Jing Yan, previously our Yushu Tribe’s Elder Zhao Tuan was much offended, please forgive us,” Wang Chunlin spoke with a hint of politeness in his calm tone.

”You overstate it, Leader Wang. Zhao Tuan has already been killed by me, and since he’s dead, I naturally won’t dwell on this matter.” Jing Yan said with a wave of his hand.

”Mr. Jing Yan speaks right! By the way, I heard Mr. Jing Yan and Leader Xing Kong are fellow countrymen from the same Low-class World?” Wang Chunlin squinted his eyes slightly, looking at Jing Yan.

”That’s none of your business.” Jing Yan said with a slight cold smile.

Jing Yan knew Wang Chunlin wanted to build rapport with him or was trying to curry favor. However, Jing Yan had no intention to get close to him. It wasn’t because Jing Yan was proud, but Wang Chunlin indeed didn’t have the qualification. Though Wang Chunlin was a Seven-star Void God, how long had he been cultivating? At least several tens of thousands of years.
