Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2838: Chapter 135: Chief Shugou_2

The Bone Remnant was also startled by White Bone’s words, turning pale.

Chief Shugou looked at White Bone, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

His voice was hoarse and aged, carrying a heavy majesty:

”White Bone, you misunderstand, the Bone Remnant did not plot against your brother, there are hidden truths here. Withdraw your troops, let us discuss this carefully, otherwise, with your troops present, people may think that you...”

Chief Shugou’s cloudy eyes became a bit sharper, ”...intend to kill this Chief and take his place.”

For a moment, White Bone was silent, holding the Jade Slip given by Mo Hua, and after scanning it briefly with his Divine Sense, he found the standard ”answer”.

White Bone adopted a disappointed look and sighed deeply:

”Great Chief, given the circumstances, you still believe the slanders and are deceived by this treacherous Bone Remnant. If I withdraw my troops, it will definitely threaten you; if I meet you alone, he will definitely plot to kill me.”

”Great Chief, the one truly intending to harm you is the Bone Remnant.”

”I am the one who remains loyal to you...”

Even with Chief Shugou’s deep scheming, upon hearing these words, he felt it was a bit hard to breathe.

Beside him, the Bone Remnant was almost exploding with rage.

Previously, he only knew White Bone was ruthless, but he did not expect him to be so shameless and turn black into white to such an extent.

Despite this, in the end, Chief Shugou did not truly hand over the Bone Remnant.

Mo Hua was right, Chief Shugou is not foolish; he couldn’t possibly abandon the Bone Remnant at this moment.

Abandoning the Bone Remnant would be like cutting off an arm; he could no longer compete with White Bone.

Things had reached a point of no return, and the only option was to fight hard.

Both sides would engage in a final battle before the mountain of the main camp.

But before the confrontation, White Bone suddenly said, ”Wait!”

The barbarian soldiers on both sides were taken aback.

White Bone, with a solemn expression, questioned the barbarian soldiers under the Great Chief’s command:

”Do you pledge allegiance to the Great Chief or to the Bone Remnant?”

”If it’s loyalty to the Bone Remnant, then fight me to the death.”

”If it’s loyalty to the Great Chief, then by stopping me, you are letting the Bone Remnant’s plot succeed, you are ’helping the tyrant’.”

”Afterwards, the Bone Remnant will certainly kill the Great Chief. In the unfortunate event the Great Chief truly dies by the Bone Remnant’s hand, you all would be sinners of the Shugubu.”

The barbarian soldiers under the Great Chief’s command glanced at each other, some wavering.

The Great Chief sternly commanded, ”Kill, do not listen to his demon words sowing discord!”

White Bone looked indignant and said, ”Great Chief, how can you be so blinded by the Bone Remnant, unable to discern loyalty and treachery? What on earth has the Bone Remnant done for you?”

The Great Chief’s face began to contort.

And this ”losing control” appearance made him seem more senile and confused to the crowd.

White Bone then loudly proclaimed, ”All listen to orders, the barbarian soldiers opposite are the Great Chief’s forces; as long as they do not attack, we must not take the initiative to kill.”

Subsequently, White Bone took out the Demon Bone Cutting Knife, pointed at the Bone Remnant, and shouted sternly, ”This mission is solely to weed out treachery, to cut down treacherous ministers for the Great Chief, kill!”

White Bone’s subordinate barbarian soldiers were momentarily invigorated, shouting:

”Eliminate treacherous ministers!”

”Kill Bone Remnant!”

”Kill!”

”Kill!”

Seeing the soaring morale reaching its peak, White Bone led by example, with countless barbarian slaves and soldiers charging in tides towards the Great Chief’s camp.

Both sides clashed quickly.

Blades intertwined with flesh and blood, resulting in immediate casualties.

But those casualties were only among those who raised their blades.

Any main camp barbarian soldiers who listened to White Bone, did not trouble him, and did not stand in his path were not affected by the slaughter.

However, anyone daring to block White Bone faced head-on would be cleaved in two by the powerful Bone Blade.

Soon, more and more main camp barbarian soldiers chose to stand aside.

Some even deliberately moved aside, making way for White Bone to advance towards the Great Chief, facilitating the slaying of the traitor.

The words spoken by White Bone, the Great Chief and the Bone Remnant would not believe.

But the ordinary barbarian soldiers believed them wholeheartedly.

Because in their hearts, White Bone was a General, always firm and resolute, maintaining his words.

Chief Shugou’s face instantly became extremely grim.

Seeing White Bone charging towards them, the Bone Remnant gritted his teeth and said, ”Great Chief, I will slay White Bone for you!”

Afterwards, he led his men out to confront White Bone before the formation.

At this point, he couldn’t escape; otherwise, he would incur the Great Chief’s hatred, and without the Great Chief’s trust, he’d be left with no other choice but death.

He also couldn’t hide behind; otherwise, he’d be solidifying his reputation as a ”traitor”.

At this moment, he could only fight White Bone.

However, previously, he had been tricked by the insidious White Bone; although upon reflection, there were many doubts about Sishen’s ”death and resurrection”, it was already too late.

His arm had been severed and replaced with a White Bone prosthetic, his combat strength severely reduced.

Meanwhile, White Bone was not only at his peak, but was also filled with a desire for revenge, his killing intent soaring.

The Bone Remnant was, of course, no match for White Bone.

They fought before the formation for eight hundred rounds, mountains shattered, Golden Core Power surged like rivers, the might so immense that any nearby barbarian soldiers caught in it were vaporized, their bones shattered and died.

Ultimately, the Bone Remnant’s prosthetic was severed by White Bone’s blade.

The Bone Remnant was defeated and fled, while White Bone led his army in pursuit.

The scene was magnificent and grand.

Mo Hua, as a shaman, stood afar watching everything.

The war was not yet over. But the details and outcome had already played out many times in his mind.

Hence, Mo Hua felt like he was watching a war ”film” he’d seen many times.

Even though it’s an ”expedition” against Chief Shugou, it wasn’t much harder than previous campaigns against the Bone Tribe.
