Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2865: Chapter 146: Alliance_2

”No,” Mo Hua said.

Dan Lie asked again, ”Do you believe in the Divine Lord now?”

Mo Hua nodded, ”Yes.”

”Why do you believe?”

”I made them believe,” Mo Hua said confidently.

Chief Dan Lie hesitated, sharing a glance with Dan Bie.

The young shaman before them was a smooth talker, they all knew that.

But this was truly stretching it.

You’re saying a word could change years of tribal beliefs?

Dan Bie’s eyes chilled as he looked at Mo Hua, asking, ”I heard the current chieftain of the Shugubu Tribe is Lugu?”

Mo Hua nodded, ”Yes.”

Dan Bie asked, ”Several years ago, Lugu was just a general. How did he become the chieftain now?”

Mo Hua unabashedly said, ”I guided Lugu to become the chieftain.”

Dan Bie’s face looked displeased, he asked again, ”Has the Shugubu Tribe achieved unification?”

Mo Hua nodded, ”I guided the Shugubu Tribe to achieve unification.”

Dan Bie’s eyelids twitched.

He felt Mo Hua’s skin was thicker than the wilderness of the Great Wilderness, and no one he’d met in his life could compare in terms of shamelessness.

At this rate, he’ll soon say he created the current Shugubu Tribe and shaped its civilization.

He must be a deity of the Shugubu Tribe.

Dan Bie clearly didn’t follow Mo Hua’s line of thought but grasped the key point, saying coldly:

”So, you’re actually... the shaman of the Shugubu Tribe now?”

Mo Hua thought for a moment and admitted, ”In a way.”

Dan Bie frowned, ”What do you mean ’in a way’?”

Mo Hua said, ”I carry out the Divine Lord’s will; the Shugubu Tribe worships the Divine Lord, so I’m their shaman. But ultimately, I’m not a shaman of any tribe in the Great Wilderness but should be the shaman of the Divine Lord.”

”Oh, a shaman of the Divine Lord, how wonderfully articulated...” Dan Bie sneered, his gaze suddenly cold:

”Could it be that from the beginning, you were an undercover agent sent by the Shugubu Tribe? Pretending to infiltrate the Danque Tribe, persuading my fourth brother with words, plotting against us. Your mastermind... is it Lugu? Are you acting on Lugu’s orders?”

Dan Zhu couldn’t help but look at Mo Hua.

Chief Dan Lie’s gaze also turned cold.

Mo Hua felt slightly rattled, thinking to himself that Dan Bie, though lacking in other skills, was indeed adept at using words to create trouble and reversing right and wrong.

So Mo Hua shook his head and said, ”You got it wrong.”

Dan Bie frowned, ”Wrong?”

Mo Hua nodded and said, ”I’m a shaman, carrying out the will of the Divine Lord. Even if Lugu is the chieftain, he must obey the Divine Lord’s command.”

In other words, it’s not that I act according to Lugu’s orders.

Rather, Lugu must listen to me, the honorable shaman.

Dan Bie was taken aback for a moment and then laughed coldly:

”Do you think I don’t know who Lugu is? He’s a late Golden Core stage general, ruthless in killing, now the illustrious chieftain of the Shugubu Tribe, with immense power. Would he listen to a Foundation Establishment Late Stage shaman like you?”

Dan Bie stared coldly at Mo Hua, ”Do you not understand the weight of the word ’Chieftain’? Do you not grasp the abyss-like difference between the late Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment Late Stage?”

Mo Hua remained composed, his gaze carrying a disdainful ”summer insects cannot discuss ice” attitude, firmly saying:

”I’ve said it many times; I’m a shaman, acting on behalf of the deity. My strength cannot be measured by realms.”

Dan Bie’s chest tightened, his scalp slightly tingling.

He was accustomed to using words to stir trouble, thus despised someone with even sharper words than himself.

Especially someone like Mo Hua, who could deliver his nonsense with such self-assured seriousness.

He represents deity, he guides Lugu, he unifies the Shugubu Tribe, the honorable chieftain of the late Golden Core stage needs to listen to him, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage...

These words spring forth effortlessly, seemingly devoid of any shame or guilt.

Dan Bie held his breath, finally releasing a sentence after a long while:

”Don’t lie to yourself, deceiving yourself as well...”

Mo Hua solemnly said, ”I never lie, and the Divine Lord can testify!”

Dan Bie was speechless.

”Alright,” the Great Chief who had remained silent until now slowly opened his mouth, glancing at Mo Hua, ”Mr. Witch... I suppose I would call you that...”

”Now that you are a shaman of the Shugubu Tribe, why have you come to our Danque Tribe? Do you intend to interfere in the affairs of our Danque Tribe?”

Dan Lie’s eyes showed a trace of authority.

Mo Hua shook his head, ”I am here this time for the matter of forming an alliance.”

Upon hearing this, Dan Bie’s face instantly changed, ”Who told you about the alliance?”

Mo Hua froze, feeling a bit dissonant, he pondered briefly before suddenly comprehending.

The Danque Tribe is also considering an ”alliance.”

It’s just that theirs is different from what was discussed with me.

Most likely, the Danque Tribe is looking to ally with surrounding other large Third Grade tribes. As for the purpose of the alliance... Mo Hua quickly figured it out:

To oppose the Wujiu Tribe.

The Wujiu Tribe is a formidable enemy, with the air of the royal court’s army, currently sweeping across the Vermilion Bird Mountain Realm, unstoppable.

From the current situation, the Danque Tribe remains stable in one place, Chief Dan Lie’s face weary, evidently having clashed with the Wujiu Tribe, and the outcome isn’t promising, likely having suffered many defeats.

But they certainly won’t sit and wait for ruin.

Since a single tribe isn’t opponent enough for the Wujiu Tribe, naturally, banding together to form an alliance is the way to jointly resist the Wujiu Tribe’s army.

Mo Hua instantly realized these connections and quickly spoke before Dan Lie and others could, ”The Shugubu Tribe can also form an alliance.”

Dan Lie and Dan Bie both looked somewhat surprised.

Dan Bie sneered, ”This is a matter at the chieftain level, not something you should be involved in.”

Mo Hua said, ”I’ve told you, I’m a shaman, I can represent the Shugubu Tribe’s chieftain Lugu in discussing this matter.”

Dan Bie’s sneer deepened.

This youngster really thinks he’s someone important.

Dan Lie gave Mo Hua a glance, thought for a moment, then shook his head, ”Our Danque Tribe and the Shugubu Tribe have animosity; it cannot be...”

Mo Hua retorted, ”Which tribes don’t have animosity?”

He’s been around the Great Wilderness long enough to know well that the inter-tribal relations here are like mud mixed with dung, indistinguishable.

Betrayal, undercover agents, schemes, murders, adultery, stealing women, stealing men, and looting wealth...

Tribes can go back several generations with dirty affairs.

It’s just the current generation has colder relations and sharper conflicts between the Danque Tribe and the Shugubu Tribe.

But now, this is a life-or-death situation.

Mo Hua sternly said, ”With famine rampant and death everywhere, and the Wujiu Tribe’s strong enemy pressing in, this isn’t just any year but an omen of extinction.”

”We must first unite to defeat the enemy and survive, only then can we discuss the future. Otherwise, both the Danque and Shugubu Tribes will just perish together.”

”Enduring tribal grievances to join forces, or maintaining animosity and perishing together? Chief, you must know.”

Chief Dan Lie deeply looked at Mo Hua without comment, slowly asking, ”Do you truly... represent Lugu?”

Mo Hua nodded, ”Yes.”

Dan Lie was still skeptical, ”Your promise isn’t enough; having you isn’t enough. Lugu must come himself to talk to me.”

Mo Hua continued to nod, ”Yes.”

Dan Lie, still unconvinced that the notorious Lugu would heed Mo Hua’s opinion, seeing Mo Hua’s confident demeanor, nodded and said:

”Fine, you and Lugu can join this alliance meeting.”

”Father...” Dan Bie anxiously tried to persuade further. Dan Lie shook his head, ”That’s settled, no need for more words.”

Dan Bie had no choice but to swallow his words.

Mo Hua also felt slight relief.

No matter what, getting everyone to sit at the same table for talks is a good start.

”However...” After a pause, Dan Lie looked at Mo Hua, saying, ”There’s one more thing, Mr. Witch, you must pay attention to.”

Mo Hua paused, ”Me?”

Chief Dan Lie nodded.

Mo Hua didn’t understand, ”Pay attention to what?”

Chief Dan Lie’s gaze subtly shifted, saying, ”This tribal alliance meeting will have many attendees, besides various tribal chieftains, chief elders, trusted barbarian generals, two individuals have been invited... truly from the royal court...”

Chief Dan Lie looked at Mo Hua, his gaze somewhat profound, ”...Shamans.”

Mo Hua’s heart skipped a beat, yet his expression remained unchanged as he said:

”Oh...”
