"There's someone they call the Shaman Ancestor, their cultivation seems to be at the Eighth Level of the Unity Realm Stage!"
Mu Jinyu frowned slightly and said slowly.
"The Shaman Ancestor at the Eighth Level of the Unity Realm Stage?"
The people from the Hanchi Tribe were taken aback by Mu Jinyu's response.
The Barbarian King's expression also showed a trace of unease.
The Blood Witch Clan's Shaman Ancestor at the late stage of Unity Realm is indeed not someone they can easily resist. This time the Barbarian Tribe is likely in trouble.
"These damn things are really good at hiding!"
The Barbarian King sighed deeply and cursed angrily.
The Barbarian Tribe and the Blood Witch Clan are mortal enemies, and they have always known that the Blood Witch Clan hasn't been completely annihilated. For over a thousand years, they've been searching for traces of the Blood Witch Clan but never found any clues.
They never thought that once they found a clue, the other party would already be a terrifying entity they couldn't contend with!
"Well, I'm actually quite curious. Why do the Blood Witch Clan keep targeting your Barbarian Tribe and refuse to leave the Northern Plains to kill and cultivate with the Demon Race or Human Race?"
Mu Jinyu pondered for a moment and suddenly asked.
The Barbarian King looked up at Mu Jinyu, his brows tightly knitted, and revealed a bitter smile, saying, "It's a long story. Actually, a long time ago, our Barbarian Tribe and Witch Tribe had a very good relationship."
Mu Jinyu's heart was stirred upon hearing the Barbarian King's words, noticing the different phrasing. He mentioned the Witch Tribe, not the Blood Witch Clan.
The Barbarian King continued, "Back then, our Barbarian Tribe and Witch Tribe lived together in the Northern Region. Our Barbarian Tribe honed our bodies, strengthening ourselves against cold and wind, while the Witch Tribe was like human cultivators, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate witchcraft. Both parties lived harmoniously."
"But a thousand years ago, a rebel emerged within the Witch Tribe. He felt that relying solely on absorbing the sun and moon's essence to cultivate witchcraft was too slow, so he resorted to committing an act of great betrayal. He dug up their ancestral grave to absorb lost souls for witchcraft cultivation."
Mu Jinyu was startled to hear this, guessing that this rebellious figure might be the ancestor of the Blood Witch Clan.
The Barbarian King continued with a sigh, "The rebel dug up the ancestral graves of their tribe to cultivate witchcraft, but he was soon discovered by the elders of his tribe because of his strange behavior!"
"Naturally, the elders were furious and immediately wanted to cleanse their ranks!"
"Unexpectedly, though he had only been absorbing the spirits of lost souls to cultivate witchcraft for just a few months, his power had already surpassed any elder within the tribe. Ultimately, he forcefully broke through the encirclement and defected from the tribe!"
"In the midst of this fierce battle, while attempting to absorb blood and resentful souls to perform witchcraft, he realized this method was far more effective than absorbing spirits from graves..."
The Barbarian King looked up at Mu Jinyu, let out a long sigh, and said bitterly, "Thus, you can imagine, the Blood Witch Clan was born."
"After the Blood Witch Ancestor successfully destroyed his tribe, the other tribes of the Witch race contacted our Barbarian Tribe leaders to jointly hunt down this traitor. We, of course, didn't want to see this evil Witch Tribe grow stronger, and knowing the fate of betrayal between lips and teeth, we set out with the Witch Tribe to hunt down the Blood Witch Clan."
"In the end, the Blood Witch Ancestor died, leaving only a few remnants who escaped. Both our Barbarian Tribe and the Witch Tribe were severely weakened and couldn't search inch by inch for traces of these remnants in the Northern Plains!"
"In the following hundreds of years, the Blood Witch Clan kept retaliating against the Witch Tribe until they were completely extinguished. For centuries after, there was no news from the Blood Witch Clan, and we thought the remnants had perished along with the Witch Tribe. But unexpectedly, they've been persistent enough to endure until now before revealing themselves!"
"And as for why the Blood Witch Clan doesn't leave the Northern Plains to find the Human Race and Demon Race for cultivation, the reason is very simple. At the time, the Blood Witch Ancestor, surrounded by our two major tribes, made a Witch Oath before dying, vowing that unless the Witch Tribe and Barbarian Tribe were completely exterminated, the Blood Witch Clan would never leave the Northern Plains!"
The Barbarian King finished speaking, letting out another long sigh, his brows furrowing even tighter.
Despite the Barbarian King lightly glossing over the outcome of that battle, Mu Jinyu could still imagine how tough that battle was—how much blood was shed, how many corpses piled up—before they successfully exterminated the Blood Witch Ancestor.
Mu Jinyu pondered, knowing that the turmoil caused by the Blood Witch Clan affected not only the survival of the Barbarian Tribe.
The Blood Witch Clan has endured for over a thousand years. After extinguishing the Witch Tribe, they have lurked, aiming to destroy the Barbarian Tribe completely. Now they have emerged, clearly confident in annihilating all the Barbarian Tribes in the Northern Plains.
Once the Barbarian Tribe is exterminated, the consequences would be dire, with the Blood Witch Clan ready to leave the Northern Plains and spread their destruction across the entire Kunlun Ruins!
At that time, the devastation would be immense, and he could not stand by idly.
Little Ice Silkworm lay on Mu Jinyu's shoulder, unable to understand what they were discussing. Its large eyes blinked in confusion a few times. Seeing them not speaking, it transmitted to Mu Jinyu to urge him: "Alright, let's go quickly."
"Hmm?" Mu Jinyu snapped out of his reverie, remembering his original purpose for coming to the Northern Region was chasing after the Divine Silkworm Princess.
Now the Divine Silkworm Princess didn't want to linger here any longer. If he insisted on staying to deal with the Blood Witch Clan first and Little Ice Silkworm disappeared in a fit of rage, it would be troublesome.
But the matter with the Blood Witch Clan couldn't be ignored either.
Mu Jinyu pondered for a moment and transmitted to Little Ice Silkworm: "Wait for me a moment, I'll let someone handle the situation here."
He realized his status was different now.
Previously, he was hunted down by the Heavenly Palace, fleeing everywhere, but now his master was the Master of Heavenly Palace. He could completely notify his master to dispatch people to deal with the Blood Witch Clan.
It's not necessary for him to handle it personally.
Taking out the Heavenly Palace Token, Mu Jinyu sent a message to Mu Shao'ai, informing him of the situation in the Northern Plains.
Mu Shao'ai quickly replied, saying he would personally come to handle it and reassured him.
Putting away the Heavenly Palace Token, Mu Jinyu spoke to the worried people of the Hanchi Tribe: "Don't worry, I've already notified my reinforcements. My master will also come personally to guard. The Blood Witch Clan won't be able to stir up any trouble."
"Really?" The Barbarian King was both startled and delighted upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, quickly asking who Mu Jinyu's master was?
In his view, Mu Jinyu was already very strong, and a master who could teach such an outstanding disciple must be even more formidable.
Mu Jinyu smiled slightly and said, "The Master of Heavenly Palace."
"This..." The Barbarian King was instantly stunned upon hearing this.
Although their Barbarian Tribe lived in the harsh Northern Plains, it didn't mean he was unaware of the situation with the Heavenly Palace.
The Heavenly Palace was the strongest power in the entire Kunlun Ruins, and the Master of Heavenly Palace could be considered the true god of Kunlun Ruins, supposedly with cultivation beyond Unity Realm.
For such a super power to be the mentor of Mu Brothers... his master?!
