The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074: Adding Insult to Injury

The massacre began and ended in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The miners, overseers, and management of the Heavenly Origin Tribe numbered between seven hundred and eight hundred. However, in the end, fewer than a hundred escaped alive.

The scent of blood wafted through the air with the wind. Many of the slain left no remains, reduced directly to dust.

”Leader, some members of the Heavenly Origin Tribe have escaped. Shall we pursue them?” the Black Water Tribe elder, Hu De, approached Xiao Tian.

This Hu De, with the realm of a Nine-star Void God, was also an elder of the Black Water Tribe and extremely loyal to Xiao Tian.

”There’s no need to chase them, they’re just small fry, insignificant whether they’re killed or not. Elder Hu De, order someone to clean up the battlefield and then start mining,” Xiao Tian said with a wave of his hand.

”Yes!” Hu De responded and left.

After the battlefield was cleaned, the miners of the Black Water Tribe began to wield their tools and work. Meanwhile, Leader Xiao Tian and Think Tank Chang Yan probed the scale of the Divine Crystal Vein.

”Think Tank, this is indeed a large-scale Divine Crystal Vein as you mentioned. The reserves here are at least ten billion Divine Crystals. With a vein covering such a large area, if the depth reaches ten thousand meters, twenty billion Divine Crystals could be extracted,” Xiao Tian said spiritedly.

If the reserves truly reached twenty billion Divine Crystals, even if he gave Yin Hua fifty percent, his Black Water Tribe could still acquire ten billion Divine Crystals.

If he hadn’t seized this vein, although he could have gotten forty percent from the Heavenly Origin Tribe, who knows if the Heavenly Origin Tribe would secretly keep some of it to themselves? This large-scale vein isn’t like ordinary ones, where small and medium veins can be easily inspected for total reserves, but large ones are not so simple.

Moreover, giving such wealth to Yin Hua would naturally strengthen their relationship in the future. Hence, offending someone like Jing Yan would be of no consequence?

Furthermore, a large Divine Crystal Vein like this is bound to have many accompanying substances. If something valuable is unearthed, keeping it for oneself wouldn’t be easily discovered by Yin Hua.

”Leader, congratulations. With this vein, our Black Water Tribe’s strength will significantly increase,” Chang Yan grinned and congratulated Xiao Tian.

”Hahaha... there’s no need to congratulate me, Think Tank. You share in the benefits as well,” Xiao Tian laughed heartily.

”Hehehe...” Chang Yan gave a sinister smile and then said, ”Leader, how do you plan to deal with that bastard Jing Yan? We robbed his vein; he certainly won’t be happy!”

”Hmph, without Young Master Hua’s support, I’d have to show him some respect. But now, what is Jing Yan? If he dares to challenge me, I’ll make him kneel and beg for mercy,” Xiao Tian said with high spirits.

After surveying the vein, Xiao Tian and Chang Yan left with most of the Black Water Tribe’s high-level Void Gods.

At the vein, only Hu De, a Nine-star Void God, and another Nine-star Void God elder remained to guard it.

With two Nine-star Void Gods, it’s enough to handle any sudden situations. Even if Jing Yan came, what could he possibly do in front of two Nine-star Void Gods? Besides, these two Nine-star Void Gods are both elders of the Black Water Tribe, with Martial Arts Cultivation at the Nine-star Void God Peak.

The news of the Black Water Tribe’s violent seizure of the Heavenly Origin Tribe’s vein spread rapidly.

Previously, when the Heavenly Origin Tribe discovered the large vein, many forces were aware of the news. Trying to hide the discovery of a large vein was not realistic. Many forces were envious of this vein, but for various reasons, they did not act to seize it.

However, now that the Black Water Tribe has acted, the vein will be mined by them in the future. Naturally, those forces would no longer dare to act recklessly.

”The Heavenly Origin Tribe, hehe, they wanted to dominate a large vein? I knew they couldn’t handle it.”

”The Heavenly Origin Tribe is seeking death!”

”Want to swallow such a large piece of fat without a stomach to handle it, they deserve to be overstuffed.”

”...”

In this border region, no forces sympathized with the Heavenly Origin Tribe’s predicament.

Heavenly Origin Tribe Headquarters!

”What?”

”Damn it!”

”The Black Water Tribe, how dare they go back on their word! Didn’t they agree to the previous share of profits?”

”Wretched! Wretched! What do we do now?”

Xing Kong and Wang Chunlin quickly received the news that the vein had been stolen and were both shocked and furious.

With the vein seized by the Black Water Tribe, the Heavenly Origin Tribe would henceforth obtain not a shred of benefit from it.

The whole tribe was furious.

Yet, facing a colossus like the Black Water Tribe, they were helpless!

Take people to settle scores? Take revenge?

That wouldn’t work, it would be nothing short of ridiculous fantasies. The vein was already taken, they couldn’t reclaim it. Even if the whole tribe were to mobilize, there was no chance. If the Heavenly Origin Tribe retaliated, the result would be predictable: the tribe’s complete annihilation.

”Deputy Leader Xing Kong, the only thing we can do is consult with the Leader,” Wang Chunlin said after venting a string of curse words against Xiao Tian’s crimes.

”Hmm, only the Leader can make the decision,” Xing Kong nodded.

”However, it seems the Leader is in seclusion and has instructed not to be disturbed,” Xing Kong mentioned.

”But with something so major happening...” Wang Chunlin frowned.

”We’ll have to wait! If the Leader is breaking through in seclusion, disturbing him could result in serious consequences,” Xing Kong shook his head.

”So be it,” Wang Chunlin saw that Xing Kong’s attitude was resolute and didn’t insist further.

Asking him to summon Jing Yan, he didn’t have the guts. What he had hoped was that Xing Kong could go to Jing Yan. After all, Xing Kong and Jing Yan were from the same hometown, making their relationship much closer than his to Jing Yan.

...

Mu Huai Tribe!

This tribe, located in the northwest border region, had a fair amount of strength.

Just a few days after the Black Water Tribe seized the vein, the Mu Huai Tribe’s leader gathered the tribe’s strongmen.

”Today, our Mu Huai Tribe will annihilate the Heavenly Origin Tribe,” the Mu Huai Tribe leader announced publicly.

The tribe’s strongmen were slightly taken aback.

The Mu Huai Tribe was much stronger than the original Yushu Tribe. The leader of the Mu Huai Tribe was a Nine-star Void God.

Seeing the tribe members’ confusion, the leader chuckled coldly.

”The Heavenly Origin Tribe has obviously offended the Black Water Tribe. By exterminating the Heavenly Origin Tribe now, the Black Water Tribe certainly won’t interfere. Hehehe, although the Heavenly Origin Tribe isn’t large, it should have some wealth to offer. This is a rare opportunity.”

”Alright, set off! Head for the Heavenly Origin Tribe. By tomorrow, the Heavenly Origin Tribe will be erased from the northwest border!” the Mu Huai Tribe leader declared with a wave of his hand.
