“In the past, when winter ended and spring blossomed, wild beasts emerged from intermediate hibernation, correct?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.

Her gaze shifted between Adams, the Five Elements Clan, and the Thunder Fire Clan elders, signaling that she sought their input on this matter.

They nodded in unison, offering a swift affirmation.

Surviving the challenges of the winter’s harsh conditions also meant being cautious of the ferocious beasts roaming the area. Failure to evade or lack of ability to resist could lead to casualties within the clan. Some were fortunate enough to escape with their lives, but many bore injuries inflicted by these creatures.

Hence…

The Huang Clan’s proposition to accept them was met with immediate agreement, and they set forth without hesitation towards the Huang Clan.

As they approached the Huang Clan, a sense of jubilation enveloped them. This year, they had successfully evaded the threat.

With the Huang Clan’s favorable location and the protection of their numerous members, everything seemed promising.

“Is this the first time the Huang Clan has expressed willingness to protect us?” Gu Chaoyan, overlooking the joyous expressions, posed the question.

“Yes,” came the unanimous response. This held true for clansmen of all ages.

The Huang Clan, being a major clan, might engage with other large clans, but interactions with smaller clans like theirs were rare. It seemed unlikely they would extend protective measures willingly.

Gu Chaoyan sensed something amiss.

“Do you believe the Huang Clan might have ulterior motives?” she questioned.

Members of both races waved away the notion, denying, “That’s impossible.”

“A large clan like the Huang Clan would only be burdened by bringing us along. How could they have any ulterior motives? We’re simply fortunate to gain the protection of the Huang Clan. Tribe Chief of the Five Elements Clan, don’t overthink it. We need to hasten to the Huang Clan.” The clansmen, fearing any last-minute changes, hurriedly expressed their thoughts.

Gu Chaoyan remained uncertain about the Huang Clan’s intentions towards smaller tribes.

She continued to send Gary to inquire from the clan. Everyone was eager to reach the Huang Clan as quickly as possible.

She could only press forward.

For now, she shelved the sorcerer’s words, deciding to contemplate them later.

On her side, vigilance remained essential.

If all else failed, she, as a Paragon Martial God, could protect them.

The ascent up the mountain proved more challenging than usual, yet the excitement of the people from both races heightened as they climbed.

Midway up the mountain, members of the Huang Clan personally emerged to welcome them.

The welcoming party consisted of individuals resembling guards of the Huang Clan.

Their countenances were stern, affording no warm reception. Regardless of the visitors’ race, they delivered their message with a serious demeanor, “Proceed up the mountain. Your designated area is still ahead.”

Adams, initially wearing a smile and attempting small talk, found his expression stiffening. There was neither time nor opportunity for gratitude.

In this manner, they followed the Huang Clan guards up the mountain.

Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan maintained a cold and impassive demeanor.

The attitudes of the Huang Clan members who had come to inform them sharply contrasted with those now welcoming them. This contrast dampened the spirits of many clansmen, who perceived a decline in the Huang Clan’s enthusiasm.

For a moment, an awkward atmosphere settled among the gathered clans.

Yet, their ingrained reverence for the major clans propelled them forward, fostering hope as they approached the Huang Clan.

On the mountain, a multitude of individuals from the Huang Clan and various other clans congregated, creating a tightly packed space.

From the front, the Huang Clan members vociferously issued orders, sounding more like commands given to subordinates.

The members of the Five Elements Clan and the Thunder Fire Clan exchanged glances, a silent acknowledgment of the disconcerting situation they found themselves in.
