Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1012 - 506: 1 Person Suppresses Foreign Race!

“Great Progenitor.”

The Progenitor Tu, crowned with the skull of a Heavenly Demon, strode to the edge of the pool and said solemnly to Great Progenitor Qiu Xiang, “Summoning us here, I wonder what matter you wish to discuss.”

Though the Twelve Tribes are united under Great Progenitor, the three Clan Progenitors rank below him, yet their positions with each other aren’t hierarchical, with Great Progenitor at the head and the three of them ranked afterward.

After all, even though Great Progenitor Qiu Xiang is a Celestial Master, they are also figures of the Blood Exchange Realm and won’t be easily swayed by Qiu Xiang.

Out of the Four Departments, Great Progenitor Qiu Xiang has the best relationship with Wuzu, as Qiu Xiang originated from the Wu Clan’s Four Departments. After becoming the Great Progenitor of the Twelve Tribes, naturally, he favors the Wu Clan’s Four Departments, gradually growing into the strongest over several decades.

Previously, when the Wu Clan’s Four Departments dared to invade Ice State, it was not only due to alliances with Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Corpse but primarily because Great Progenitor Qiu Xiang stood behind the Wu Clan’s Four Departments, opposing King of the Northern Town, Yuan Hong from afar, enabling the Wu Clan’s Four Departments to loot substantial resources.

In these years, the Wu Clan’s development has gradually surpassed the other departments, which is such a gradual accumulation.

Because of this, Progenitor Tu and Progenitor Shi harbor slight dissatisfaction towards Great Progenitor Qiu Xiang, but they cannot openly confront Great Progenitor Qiu Xiang. One part is out of inability, and the other is that their Foreign Race is much weaker than the Central Plains Da Xuan Dynasty. Internal conflict would only benefit the Central Plains people.

After all, while Great Progenitor Qiu Xiang favors the Wu Clan’s Four Departments, he also somewhat looks after the Tu and Shi Tribes, lending a hand when troubles arise, which remains within an acceptable range.

Of course.

Even so, he and Progenitor Shi maintain secret contact, ensuring the Tu and Shi Tribes strengthen ties through each other, engage in intermarriages multiple times to secure their tribe’s status.

This time, upon receiving Great Progenitor Qiu Xiang’s summons, he was in discussion with Progenitor Shi, hence they came collectively.

“The changes in the Central Plains are significant; such a summons is to discuss strategies against the Central Plains Dynasty.”

Great Progenitor Qiu Xiang said in a deep voice, without comment about the joint arrival of Progenitor Tu and Progenitor Shi.

Upon hearing this, Progenitor Tu exchanged a glance with Progenitor Shi, then sat casually on the ground by the pool and said unreservedly, “I heard the Central Plains Dynasty is internally divided and fighting against each other, having split into Nine Nations. This is a situation where our regions match in scale, and it’s the opportune time for us to expand.”

“Indeed.”

Progenitor Shi also clapped his hands and said, “The Nine Nations are fragmented, disputing against each other. As the Central Plains people often say, ‘gain from chaos.’ Now is the opportunity for us to seize resources and develop our tribes.”

Great Progenitor Qiu Xiang listened and slightly shook his head, saying, “Are you too optimistic? Even though the Central Plains is divided into nine, in terms of region, it equals our Twelve Tribes. However, their resources and people far exceed our Twelve Tribes, and their martial arts experts are countless. Comparing any of the Nine Nations’ strength, each still surpasses us.”

“In the past, the Da Xuan Dynasty ruled the world, each of the Ninety-Nine States managed its own affairs, too busy to concern themselves with the borders, which presented opportunities for us. Now, with Nine Nations each establishing territories, any disturbance at the frontier could cause one nation to wage total war against us. To my view, the current situation is the worst for us.”

Upon saying this.

Progenitor Tu and Progenitor Shi immediately fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, Wuzu, holding a wooden staff, supported himself to the side and said, “The Great Progenitor indeed speaks rightly.”

In the past, when the Da Xuan Dynasty ruled the world, their harassment of the borders was but a minor issue for such a vast, cumbersome bureaucratic empire. The Imperial Court’s central management sometimes even ignored it, dealing with the matter rather carelessly.

Later, when the Ninety-Nine States each declared independence, their border harassments would only incur enmity from one state, just as when the Wu Clan’s Four Departments invaded Ice State, though suffering significant losses due to the Seven Profound Sect’s intervention, they ultimately achieved considerable results. And only the main force of the Seven Profound Sect participated in that battle.

Other sects like the Heavenly Sword Sect merely dispatched some personnel to target the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Demon Sect.

If now they went to harass the Cold North border, it could mobilize the entire Cold North to act as one, for now the Cold North is completely unified, all under the command of the North Garrison Government. At a single word from King of the Northern Town, Yuan Hong, all the sects of the Cold North could retaliate, storming to the border. At that time, even if the Twelve Tribes marshaled all their forces, they would be hard-pressed to gain any benefit.

“Moreover, during this dramatic change in the Central Plains Dynasty, not only has it split into nine, but there are also rumors of an individual emerging, on par with the Martial Ancestor of old, capable of sweeping the Central Lands and subduing all sides with his own strength, revered as the Martial Saint, making him our tribe’s great foe.”

Great Progenitor Qiu Xiang paused for a moment, then continued slowly.

Upon hearing this.

The brows of Progenitor Tu, initially furrowed, relaxed, and he huffed, saying in a rugged voice, “Those Central Plains people are deceitful and treacherous. It is said that this so-called ‘Martial Saint’ is barely over forty. How could there be someone invincible in the world at forty? Such preposterous rumors, what credence do they have?”

“Indeed, I suspect it might even be a scheme of that King Yuan Hong. Now that the Central Plains is divided into nine, Yuan Hong must guard against the powers of the other eight nations. Naturally, he fears us tremendously and purposely creates such a figure, claiming he’s from Cold North, intending to deter us, allowing him to act without worry.”
