Chapter 473: Chapter 193: I Will Show Mercy

「Profound Wind Tribe.」

In the center of the tribe, before a great hall, the High Priest and Old Dad Haji appeared.

Upon reaching the great hall’s rear courtyard, Old Dad Haji looked toward a figure in the distance.

"Great Chieftain."

Old Dad Haji bowed. The Great Chieftain looked over at the approaching High Priest and Old Dad Haji, a hint of surprise on his face.

"What is it?"

Old Dad Haji stepped forward and explained the situation.

After listening to Old Dad Haji, the Great Chieftain looked stunned.

’There’s someone like that?’

The Great Chieftain looked at Old Dad Haji in disbelief. "Is this true?"

Old Dad Haji nodded.

The Great Chieftain lowered his head and pondered for a moment before looking at the High Priest.

Their eyes met, an unspoken understanding passing between them.

After a moment of silence, the Great Chieftain spoke. "Fine. Have him come see me tonight."

"Yes, of course." Old Dad Haji nodded and took his leave.

Watching Old Dad Haji’s departing figure, the Great Chieftain looked at the High Priest at his side.

"To see a return so quickly... you truly have a good eye," the Great Chieftain said with a smile.

The High Priest sat down beside the Great Chieftain. "Great Chieftain, the Holy Hall won’t try to stop this, will they?"

The Great Chieftain shook his head. "Of course not. Seeking outside help is not a major issue. The Holy Hall is only concerned with the Underground Cave. As long as we can eliminate the Fierce Beasts within it, nothing else is a problem."

The High Priest nodded slightly.

"If he can resolve this, it will be a great boon for our tribe."

"Let’s wait until we meet him tonight before we say more. If he succeeds, we must not treat him unfairly," the Great Chieftain said.

The High Priest nodded.

"Acceptable."

"However, if he is to go, I’m afraid our tribe must send someone along with him."

The Great Chieftain thought for a moment, then looked at the High Priest. "In that case, I’m afraid only Yun Shu is suitable. Go and inform her."

The High Priest nodded and then left as well.

...

In the courtyard, Fang Xing learned more about the Underground Cave from Haji.

This Underground Cave Secret Realm had once been the Grassland Sacred Land.

However, three hundred years ago, the Underground Cave suddenly underwent a transformation. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi became extremely violent, the conditions turned hostile, and all sorts of natural disasters began to occur frequently.

Massive numbers of ferocious Fierce Beasts surged out from the cave. Later investigations revealed that the depths of the Underground Cave seemed to connect to an unknown land, which was the very source of the beasts.

Thus, it transformed from the Grassland Sacred Land into the dreaded Underground Cave it is today.

The Longevity Hall paid a great price to seal the Underground Cave, but the seal shatters once every thirty years.

This period is also when the Underground Cave’s Fierce Beasts are most active.

If left unchecked, it could form a terrifying beast tide, which would undoubtedly spell doom for all the grassland tribes.

The Underground Cave is a Secret Realm with its own independent laws, and beings at the Celestial Martial Saint Level cannot enter.

Therefore, they can only rely on the various tribes to join forces to suppress or slay the Fierce Beasts.

During this period, the entrance to the Underground Cave can only be suppressed, not completely sealed.

This is due to the shifting natural laws of the Underground Cave; even a Celestial Martial Saint is helpless to do anything about it.

’So this place is a renewable resource...’

Fang Xing’s mind began to race.

’A thirty-year cycle!’

’A major outbreak every thirty years.’

’The number and strength of the Fierce Beasts are terrifying.’

’Many tribespeople lose their lives because of it.’

’They lose a huge number of their top fighters.’

’And the best strategy is to suppress the beasts during the early stages of the outbreak, while it can still be contained.’

’Otherwise, once a massive beast tide forms, the blow will be devastating.’

’It’s not like this hasn’t happened before.’

’If it weren’t for the Longevity Hall’s Martial Saints taking action, the losses would have been incalculable.’

For the grassland tribes, it was a disaster, but at the same time, it was also a trial.

However, the mortality rate was extremely high.

Even Grandmasters couldn’t guarantee their own safety.

’It’s a pity I can only catch this thirty-year outbreak once. If it happened every year, this would be a perfect place for me.’

The thought flashed through Fang Xing’s mind.

’I just happened to run into the Underground Cave’s thirty-year outbreak. If I’d missed it, I would have missed a great opportunity.’

’Of course, it’s probably only an opportunity for me. For anyone else, it’s a disaster that could spell their doom.’

’Hm, he’s back!’

Taking a sip of milk wine, Fang Xing glanced up and saw Old Dad Haji’s figure appearing outside the courtyard.

Seeing Old Dad Haji, Haji stood up as well. "Dad, how did it go?"

Fang Xing also stood up.

’Entering the Underground Cave under the Profound Wind Tribe’s banner is undoubtedly the best option. If this doesn’t work, I’ll have to think of another way.’

’I’m not one of the Yunlan People. Even during a special time like this, it probably wouldn’t be easy to get into that place.’

’Being too conspicuous might attract unwanted attention. While I’m not afraid, I don’t want to stir up unnecessary trouble.’

Old Dad Haji walked into the courtyard, looked at the two men, and then turned his gaze to Fang Xing.

"The Great Chieftain has agreed. However, Brother Fang, you will have to meet with him in person later tonight."

"Alright." Fang Xing nodded, a weight lifting from his shoulders.

’As long as it worked out, that’s all that matters.’

’Once I’m in the Underground Cave, not only can I rapidly recover my Divine Soul and reforge my Divine Spirit, but I can also advance much faster.’

’This is worlds better than being in the Liang Kingdom.’

’And it’s all legitimate!’

"The Great Chieftain agreed..." Haji’s expression was grave as he looked at Fang Xing.

"Brother Fang, that Underground Cave is no joke. Are you sure you want to go?"

"Don’t worry. I’ll treat it as a trial. Combat is the best medicine for improvement."
