Primary stood up and immediately bowed to Li Yi and Tongtian:
"Big brother and third brother have suffered for me. Thank you, big brother and third brother."
Li Yi was happy to see Primordial healed:
"Second brother, your recovery makes everything we did worthwhile."
Tongtian also laughed:
"It's good that second brother has recovered. Let's go to the East Sea!"
Saying that, he was about to walk out!
Li Yi quickly stopped Tongtian and said:
"Third brother, don't be reckless. Second brother has just recovered, so let him rest for a while!"
Tongtian nodded upon hearing this:
"Big brother is right. I was inconsiderate. Let that old mudfish wriggle for a few more days!"
Li Yi then asked:
"By the way! Third brother, while I was away, I saw constant warfare between the three tribes. Have they really started a war?"
Tongtian heard this and said:
"Big brother, I would have forgotten if you hadn't asked. A supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure appeared at the junction of the East Sea, the Undying Volcano, and Qilin Mountain.
Qiyi, Yuanfeng, and Zulong fought fiercely over this spiritual treasure, but Zulong ended up with it.
Now, the Qilin tribe and the Phoenix tribe are allied, and their relationship with the Dragon tribe is extremely poor. They engage in life-or-death battles whenever they meet.
Now, Zulong has even ordered the Dragon tribe's activities to be confined within the East Sea. They dare not go out."
"This is truly a great victory! Let that old mudfish bully second brother with his cultivation!"
After saying that, Tongtian burst into laughter!
Li Yi, however, frowned deeply!
Tongtian was puzzled and asked:
"Big brother, isn't this a good thing? Why are you so unhappy?"
Li Yi sighed and said:
"I am naturally happy that Zulong has suffered a setback, but as third brother said, I fear the great decisive battle between the three tribes is imminent. What will happen to Chen'er then?"
Tongtian was confused:
"Even if the three tribes go to war, given the current situation, it should be the Qilin tribe and the Phoenix tribe joining forces against the Dragon tribe. With the strength of the two tribes, victory is certain. What are you worried about, big brother?"
Primordial was also confused:
"Third brother has a point. What are you worried about, big brother?"
Li Yi said sternly:
"You two are thinking too simply. Once the three tribes go to war, there will be countless casualties. The karma of slaughter that results will be more than they can bear. I fear all three tribes will vanish and exit the stage of history!"
Tongtian was unconcerned:
"Let them be, it won't affect us! As for Chen'er, didn't big brother already tell Qiyi a solution?"
"Chen'er and brother Qiyi have a deep father-son bond. I fear that if brother Qiyi were to perish, Chen'er would be unable to bear the blow and would be completely disheartened!"
Primordial nodded:
"Although big brother is reasonable, we can't help much, can we?"
Li Yi sighed and said:
"Forget it. Second brother, you rest for a while first. We'll go to the East Sea and settle accounts with Zulong properly! You also take this opportunity to refine that Apricot Yellow Banner."
Primordial and Tongtian nodded, and they each returned to their respective peaks.
After Primordial and Tongtian left, Li Yi summoned Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, instructing them to take good care of the Green Ox at the foot of the mountain, and then he also went into seclusion to cultivate.
In the East Sea Dragon Palace, Zulong had offended Qiyi and Yuanfeng since obtaining that supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure.
Now, the Qilin tribe and the Phoenix tribe were showing signs of alliance. Although the Dragon tribe's strength was barely superior to the two tribes, they were definitely no match for the combined forces of the two tribes.
While Zulong was troubled by this, an old turtle suddenly offered a suggestion to Zulong.
This old turtle was Zulong's right-hand man. The old turtle said:
"Patriarch, since the Qilin tribe and the Phoenix tribe want to join forces to deal with us, why don't we prevent them from uniting?"
Zulong knew that this old turtle was always cautious and would not speak without a plan.
Zulong asked:
"What good plan do you have?"
The old turtle sneered:
"Why don't we select some experts from our tribe to impersonate Phoenix tribe experts and go to Qilin Mountain to hunt down the young talents of the Qilin tribe? Similarly, we can send some experts to the Undying Volcano to impersonate people from the Qilin tribe and hunt down the fresh bloodlines of the Phoenix tribe. Perhaps then, not only will the two tribes not unite, but they will also turn their weapons on each other. Then, we can sit back and watch the tigers fight and profit from it!"
Upon hearing this, Zulong slapped his thigh and exclaimed:
"A brilliant plan! A brilliant plan!"
"From today onwards, you will be the esteemed Prime Minister of my Scale-Armored clan."
After Zulong finished speaking, he immediately made arrangements according to the turtle prime minister's plan.
In the Qilin Palace on Qilin Mountain, someone suddenly reported that young members of the tribe had been inexplicably killed in recent days, and the survivors all claimed it was done by the Phoenix tribe.
The entire tribe was furious, and they all urged Qiyi to send troops to punish the Phoenix tribe.
Qiyi had to try very hard to appease the angry tribesmen.
Qiyi found it strange, because since the incident with the supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure, he and Yuanfeng had become quite close, and he believed Yuanfeng would not do such a thing.
Therefore, Qiyi personally investigated and discovered that it was a plot by the Dragon tribe.
Seeing that the fresh blood of his tribe had been killed by the Dragon tribe, Qiyi was enraged. Just as he was about to go to the East Sea to demand an explanation from Zulong, Yuanfeng suddenly arrived for a visit.
Qiyi had no choice but to receive Yuanfeng.
Yuanfeng walked into the Qilin tribe and found that the Qilin tribesmen were all hostile towards her.
Yuanfeng was furious, thinking, "You Qilin tribe assassinated my Phoenix tribe's young talents, and I came today to demand an explanation from the First Qilin, yet you still hate me so much."
As soon as Yuanfeng met Qiyi, she angrily exclaimed:
"Qiyi, what do you mean? Why did you arrange for people to assassinate my Phoenix tribe's talents?"
Before Qiyi could react, the Great Elder of the Qilin tribe, Qifan, roared:
"Yuanfeng, don't slander others! It was clearly your Phoenix tribe that assassinated our Qilin tribe's talents. How dare you come to our Qilin tribe?"
Upon hearing this, Yuanfeng's delicate face turned cold:
"Is your Qilin tribe going to deny it?"
Qiyi heard this and immediately reprimanded:
"Great Elder, do not speak nonsense. I have already investigated clearly, and this was all the work of the Dragon tribe!"
Qifan mumbled:
"Patriarch, you didn't say so either!"
Yuanfeng heard this and immediately roared:
"Qiyi, do you think my Phoenix tribe is easy to bully? The Dragon tribe hunted down your Qilin tribe's talents, and you didn't go to the Dragon tribe for trouble. Why did you hunt down my Phoenix tribe's talents?"
Qiyi heard this and quickly explained:
"Friend Yuanfeng, you misunderstand. I never made any such arrangements!"
Yuanfeng laughed angrily:
"Misunderstanding? The survivors in my tribe all said it was done by your Qilin tribe, and you still want to deny it?"
Qiyi patiently explained:
"Friend Yuanfeng, think about it carefully. Why would I hunt down your Phoenix tribe? Ever since Zulong obtained that supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure from you and me, we have become closer.
I suspect this is Zulong's scheme to make our two tribes fight each other, so that the Dragon tribe can profit from it."
Yuanfeng listened to Qiyi and found his words reasonable. She then made a stern statement:
"It better be so. I will go back and investigate personally. If it was indeed Zulong's doing, I will fight him to the death. If it was your doing, hmph!"
With that, Yuanfeng flicked her sleeves and left.
After returning to the Undying Volcano, Yuanfeng personally investigated and indeed, as Qiyi had said, it was people from the Dragon tribe disguised as members of the Qilin tribe who had hunted down the Phoenix tribe's talents. Sudan Novel Network.
Yuanfeng was furious and was about to head to the East Sea when she thought that Zulong's methods were superior to hers. Thus, Yuanfeng turned and headed towards Qilin Mountain.
Upon arriving at Qilin Mountain, Yuanfeng immediately apologized to Qiyi:
"Friend Qiyi, please forgive my anger. I investigated and found that it was indeed the Dragon tribe's doing. I intend to mobilize my entire tribe to contend with Zulong!"
Qiyi was overjoyed upon hearing this:
"Since Zulong is so dishonorable, I will accompany you, and we will use the combined strength of our two tribes to conquer the Dragon tribe."
Yuanfeng said upon hearing this:
"In that case, I will return and make arrangements immediately. Our two tribes will gather in the East Sea in a thousand years to jointly attack the Dragon tribe!"
Qiyi smiled and said:
"That's perfect!"
After receiving Qiyi's consent, Yuanfeng immediately returned to make arrangements.
After Yuanfeng left, Qiyi also immediately convened a tribal meeting. All members of the Qilin tribe at the Daluo realm and all the tribal leaders of the beast race were required to attend the meeting.
