Mo Hua, along with Dan Zhu and others, ”usurped the nest” and occupied the remote camp of the Shugu Tribe.

In this remote camp, the highest cultivation level of the barbarian cultivators was only at the Initial Golden Core stage.

The strongest leader in this camp, along with a general, was killed in a previous ambush. One elder escaped.

In this place, two Golden Core cultivators were stationed. One of them also died at Dan Zhu’s hands.

The other surrendered.

Yet, as Mo Hua glanced at those sinister eyes, he knew the surrender was feigned, likely with thoughts of secretly contacting others to launch a surprise attack or rebellion against Dan Zhu.

Mo Hua found an excuse to have Dan Zhu execute him as well.

Thus, almost all the Golden Cores in this Shugu remote camp were ”wiped out.”

On Mo Hua’s side, there were four Golden Core cultivators.

These four Golden Core cultivators, accompanied by several hundred elites, were enough to intimidate an entire camp, affecting nearly tens of thousands of barbarian cultivators from the Shugu tribe.

During this time, there were other barbarian Shugu cultivators who resisted, and Mo Hua ordered them killed, hanging their corpses on the tribal gates as a warning to others.

Mo Hua sighed.

In the Taoist Court, he was a law-abiding cultivator, kind to others, and generally wouldn’t do such ”indiscriminate killings.”

But here in the Great Wilderness, there was no choice.

Tribal warfare fundamentally means life or death.

In chaotic times, harsh measures must be employed.

Even so, within the Shugu tribe, resistance continued, with group after group of Shugu clan members openly defying Mo Hua’s orders.

Mo Hua could only have them all killed.

Of course, such tasks didn’t fall upon him.

He was the shaman, only responsible for setting the rules and issuing orders, and those who disobeyed would die.

Those who truly wielded the killing hand were all led by Chi Feng, the barbarian general.

Chi Feng was a mid-stage Golden Core barbarian cultivator, forged from the battlefield, and when he killed, he didn’t even blink an eye.

Mo Hua had seen Chi Feng behead someone like he was cutting a watermelon, one axe strike per head, with blood splattering on him, and he seemed to treat it as bathing—he was indeed a ruthless man.

And after Chi Feng slaughtered several waves, totaling nearly a hundred people, this Shugu remote camp finally settled down.

No one dared to defy Mo Hua’s orders and Chi Feng’s butcher’s blade anymore.

Then Mo Hua began to ”pacify.”

First, kill a wave so they fear, establish rules.

Afterward, be more lenient, let them feel grateful for surviving the disaster.

The specific tasks were left to Dan Zhu to handle.

Mo Hua was the shaman, responsible for staying behind the scenes, issuing divine decrees, and setting laws.

Chi Feng was the barbarian general, responsible for quelling chaos and bloodshed, establishing authority.

Dan Zhu was the young master, who needed to be lenient and compassionate, calming the hearts of the people.

With this three-pronged approach, tens of thousands of barbarian cultivators in the Shugu camp gradually calmed down, no longer daring to incite trouble.

The name of Dan Zhu, the young master, was still significant.

Moreover, in this Barbaric Wilderness, to most barbarian cultivators, ”Golden Core” was likewise unattainable.

Under normal circumstances, they dared not rebel against a ”Golden Core.”

When the tribe was first broken into, facing life and death, they might have been overcome with heated resolve, thinking to fight the Danque Tribe to the bitter end.

Yet after some time, as their fervor cooled down, they dared not be impulsive anymore.

They knew a Foundation Establishment was absolutely defeated against a Golden Core.

And their tribe was not actually facing ”life or death survival.”

The Danque Tribe had not engaged in mass slaughter, nor even ”oppression.” Their lives went on as usual.

Not to mention, Mo Hua seemed pure and dignified, and Dan Zhu was charming and compassionate; both possessed a demeanor that invoked heartfelt loyalty, dispelling thoughts of rebellion.

These members of the Shugu tribe soon lost the desire to fight to the death.

Soon, they adapted to such conditions.

They didn’t know who was truly ”ruling” them now.

But life continued as usual, and who ”ruled” didn’t matter as long as they were alive.

Thus, Mo Hua somewhat managed to ”subdue” his first force in the Vermilion Bird Mountain Realm.

Afterward, Mo Hua didn’t rush to ”drastically” reform because he knew it wasn’t the top priority.

Famine, like marrow attached to bone.

The danger was still present.

Once the famine spread, the occupied ”Shugu remote camp” would not just fail to assist them; it might instead become a burden, even a medium for spreading famine.

Dan Zhu and Chi Feng stayed in the Shugu Tribe.

Other Danque Tribe barbarian soldiers also temporarily settled and rested in the Shugu remote camp.

Mo Hua, escorted by Ba Shan and Yu Sheng, retraced his steps to personally inspect the progress of the famine.

After traveling for about a day and a night, Mo Hua arrived at a cliff, looking down from above, seeing withered vegetation and decayed corpses in the distance.

In this scene of decay, the half-red-half-yellow starvation aura, invisible to ordinary cultivators’ naked eyes, was spreading and moving within.

Mo Hua frowned.

That ”monster-like” famine aura was constantly devouring and proliferating, becoming stronger.

But it hadn’t continued to spread; instead, it remained in place, patrolling within a certain range.

Stopped?

No, it seemed more like it was... resting, or gathering strength?

Mo Hua’s gaze turned solemn.

Why?

Was it because the spread of the famine aura required some sort of ”force” to supply it? Has its strength exhausted, thus only able to slow the spread?

Or is it waiting for something?

Mo Hua couldn’t determine; his understanding of the ”famine” in the Great Wilderness was too lacking, and he hadn’t seen any relevant tribal records or literature.

After contemplating briefly, Mo Hua took out some command flags and planted them at the edge of the famine’s spread, instructing Elders Ba Shan and Yu Sheng:
