Chapter 2368 I Have an Idea

Yiyun was still a little reserved, her face flushing as she said, "Brother, where would I find the time to think about that? We just took the Blue Leopard Tribe, there's a huge mess waiting for me to deal with."

The Blue Leopard Tribe had just been taken, and there really were a lot of things to do afterward. Yiyun took orders from Wang Xiaoqiang; all actions and decisions were for him to make. Wang Xiaoqiang had Yiyun lead troops to occupy the Blue Leopard Tribe, imprison the prisoners of war, and then migrate the people of the Yiyun Tribe over. In this way, the population of the Yiyun Tribe was thinned out quite a bit.

A week later, the Blue Leopard Tribe completely vanished; the territory of the Blue Leopard Tribe became the domain of the Yiyun Tribe. Yiyun divided the Yiyun Tribe into two parts: the original Yiyun Tribe in the east, called the Eastern Region, and the Blue Leopard Tribe in the west, called Yiyun West,

Yiyun invited Wang Xiaoqiang to sit in town over the western part of the Yiyun Tribe. Wang Xiaoqiang did not refuse, and from then on he took charge of Yiyun West. He released all his family members from the ring and moved with them into the Lord's Mansion of the Blue Leopard Tribe,

Blue Leopard was different from Yiyun. Yiyun was the kind of leader who only knew how to give and not how to take, a good public servant of the tribe, utterly selfless,

whereas Blue Leopard relied on power, treating the common folk of the tribe like fish on a chopping board, a typical tyrannical official who lorded it over others,

He had abused the people plenty while he was alive. In the Blue Leopard Tribe he ate the finest, most luxurious food, played with the most beautiful women. Once the girls of the Blue Leopard Tribe turned sixteen, they all had to report to him to be inspected and selected. If their looks were above average, they would be chosen into his harem as reserves to be observed further—people say a girl changes a lot between sixteen and eighteen—then at eighteen they'd be closely examined again. If they'd become prettier, they'd be taken as concubines,

Those with outstanding looks were directly taken as concubines; those with stunning, peerless beauty would be married as wives.

While Blue Leopard was alive, he had wives and concubines in flocks. He himself couldn't even remember how many women he had.

Blue Leopard also insisted on living in the best house. The Lord's Mansion he had the toiling masses build for him with huge efforts in construction had just been completed and fully furnished; just as he was preparing to move in, misfortune struck and he kicked the bucket,

As a result, Wang Xiaoqiang profited from it. Nearly a thousand members of the Wang Clan, old and young, moved from the eastern part of the Yiyun Tribe to the west and directly settled in the western Lord's Mansion. The brand-new residence left everyone in the Wang Clan overjoyed.

From then on, Wang Xiaoqiang finally had his own territory in the Primordial age, and a luxurious, extravagant yet comfortable place to live. His family no longer had to hide inside the Storage Ring and could live happily every day.

After that, Wang Xiaoqiang did not devote himself to governing Yiyun West, because the Yiyun Tribe simply didn't enter his field of vision,

Besides, even if he were to develop the Yiyun Tribe, it would be through aggression and conquest, not through steady, step-by-step accumulation.

His current goals were very clear: first, to honor his promise and avenge Yishan by razing the Purple Dragon Tribe that had taken Yishan's woman; second, to obtain the Light Stone Technique in order to break through and advance.

The first matter was for his brother; the second was for himself. However, if he wanted to accomplish the first, he had to accomplish the second,

because only by obtaining the Light Stone Technique could he quickly break through, advance to the Heaven-Stepping Realm, and rapidly improve his cultivation base and strength. Only with great power could he flatten the Purple Dragon Tribe and avenge his brother Yishan.

Having made up his mind, he went to find Yishan again.

Yishan had been busy with this matter all along. He had already found out that the Lord of the Snow Eagle Tribe, that is, the Snow Eagle Lord, also possessed the Light Stone Technique. The reason he hadn't developed the Snow Eagle Territory was that the Snow Eagle Lord was dull by nature, a total Immortal Cultivation waste who couldn't comprehend the Mystic Essence of the Light Stone Technique movement technique. After wasting a hundred years, he still failed to master it,

Pity that Snow Eagle Lord; not only was his mind not bright, his body also had defects—he was actually unable to have children. Though he married over a hundred wives and took countless concubines in his lifetime, he didn't have a single child,

The Snow Eagle Lord was weak in both body and mind, yet he was extremely narrow-minded. He refused to pass the Light Stone Technique to outsiders, and in order to prevent it from leaking out, he even destroyed the Secret Scripture of the Light Stone Technique,

Under those circumstances, it was only natural that the Snow Eagle Territory saw no development.

"Brother Wang, that Snow Eagle Lord is so pedantic. He knows perfectly well he can't cultivate it and is fated to have no heirs, yet he still won't pass it on to outsiders and even destroyed the Secret Scripture. That's truly squandering a heavenly treasure. Sigh, what a pity about that Light Stone Technique." When Yishan told Wang Xiaoqiang about this, he was full of regret and dejection.

Wang Xiaoqiang, however, said, "Although the Snow Eagle Lord failed to cultivate it, he should have the Heart Technique Incantation engraved in his mind. So even if the Light Stone Technique Secret Scripture has been destroyed, that doesn't mean it's completely lost. As long as we can control the Snow Eagle Lord, there's hope of prying the Heart Technique Incantation out of his mouth…"

Yishan shook his head at these words and said, "That Snow Eagle Lord is notorious for being stubborn and pedantic. Even if we control him, if he refuses to speak even unto death, who can do anything to him?"

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "As long as we can control him, I'll be able to do something about it."

Seeing how confident Wang Xiaoqiang sounded, Yishan said, "Brother Wang, you really mean to get the Light Stone Technique from the Snow Eagle Lord?"

"The Green Eagle Tribe is a Wang Court-Level Tribe, and the Green Eagle Lord's cultivation base is so powerful that we are no match for him. Naturally we have to start with the Snow Eagle Lord."

"Brother Wang, to control the Snow Eagle Lord, we'd have to flatten the Snow Eagle Tribe. Once we raze the Snow Eagle Tribe, the Green Eagle Lord won't stand by and watch. After all, the Snow Eagle Territory and Green Eagle Territory are brother tribes; they'll definitely seek revenge."

At these words Wang Xiaoqiang's expression grew solemn. He nodded and said, "Mm, if it really comes to a fight, we won't be facing just one Snow Eagle Tribe, but two tribes. That's a bit tricky."

"We need to come up with a foolproof plan." Yishan furrowed his brows, racking his brains, but after thinking for a long time he still couldn't come up with anything.

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Yishan, does that Snow Eagle Lord ever come out?"

Yishan said, "The Snow Eagle Lord failed to cultivate the Light Stone Technique and is fated to have no children. The Snow Eagle Tribe hasn't developed; his life is bleak and joyless, so he has no face to go out. For nearly ten years, he hasn't openly stepped outside the Snow Eagle Tribe. In the past two years, he's not gone out at all. Even figures of some standing find it hard to see him. Even when he marries or takes concubines, he no longer appears in person. And since the Snow Eagle Territory leans on the Green Eagle Tribe and is under the protection of that brother tribe, it's seen no trouble for a hundred years. No tribe has been foolish enough to invade it."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang's brow tightened and his face grew even more serious. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Yishan, I have an idea,"

Knowing that Wang Xiaoqiang was full of ideas and good at coming up with plans, Yishan hurriedly said, "Then hurry and tell me."

Wang Xiaoqiang lowered his voice and spoke his idea into Yishan's ear. Yishan's eyes went wide at once. "Brother Wang, what kind of rotten idea is that? Forget about me, even Yiyun will never agree to it. No way, absolutely not. It can't even be mentioned… Besides, it's unfair to you."
