Chapter 2035 - 2028: The Sixth Super Tribe
"Ice Throne tribe recruiting members, double the benefits? Which tribe is this Ice Throne, how come I’ve never heard of it?"
"More than a hundred times the peak of the Dao Realm, and there’s also an annual reward of Supreme Crystal, that’s no small sum. Could it be a newly rising tribe?"
"There’s no such thing as the Ice Throne. This tribe just appeared, and its creator is the young man from the Rift Sky Royal Family who’s been making waves lately. Didn’t you see? The registration location is at the manor that was just established. It’s easy to find out about this if you ask around."
"I also know he’s back for revenge. He was expelled from Ice King City many years ago. Who knows what kind of luck struck him, but he got rich and now he’s turning the entire Ice King City upside down."
"I remember that young man from the Rift Sky Royal Family is only at the sixth grade of the Dao Realm, right? How is he going to compete with other tribes? Just because he’s got some money?"
"Shh, keep it down, he’s here!"
The entire streets and alleys were abuzz with talk about Zhang Menglong. At that moment, a group was passing through the city, heading toward the manor. Yesterday, a stone sculpture with the words ’Ice Throne’ was added to the manor.
Early that morning, Zhang Menglong completed the bail procedures for everyone, provided they all accepted his Soul Seal. From now on, Zhang Menglong truly had some say in this Ice King City. Even though there were only a few thousand people, their strength wasn’t much different compared to the peak power of other super tribes!
"Look, isn’t that Lucas? A powerhouse at the extreme of the Dao Realm, he was originally a general of the Yun Ting Royal Family, ranking among the top five in the Yun Ting family. When they fought against the Earth Absolute Royal Family, he was injured but killed three Dao Realm extremes. The City Lord’s enforcers caught him, and it’s been two or three hundred years now, right?"
"How did he get out? I heard releasing these people on bail requires thousands of Supreme Crystals. Even those super tribes find it painful to pay, and in the end, they simply gave up rescuing them. Could it be that young man?"
"And Dimoras, another top martial artist, they’re actually all following him."
"The people behind are all those who were once imprisoned. Did that Rift Sky Royal youth bail out all the strong individuals from the detention chamber?"
"That requires at least hundreds of thousands of Supreme Crystals, doesn’t it? Did he really spend that much?"
"If he can spend 50 million Supreme Crystals on buying land without blinking, would he really care about these mere hundreds of thousands? This show is just getting interesting."
"Indeed, these people have been imprisoned for so long, they must deeply hate their former tribes. Now gathered together, their combat power is terrifying!"
...
Zhang Menglong led his people across the Royal City, finally arriving at the gate of the Ice Throne tribe’s manor. This was his first public speech.
"From today, my Ice Throne is the sixth largest super tribe in Ice King City. If you don’t like it, hold it in!"
This statement utterly disregarded everyone present.
In this Ice King City, besides the five super tribes, there were many other tribes, many of which were very powerful. Hearing Zhang Menglong’s words, the leader of one of these tribes immediately flew into a rage.
"You’re just a kid, and you want to claim the sixth largest super tribe? Did I agree?"
As soon as the tribe leader spoke, a wave of discussion erupted around them.
"That’s the head of the Break Dark Tribe. He’s not known for his mercy, with extreme Dao Realm strength and over 30 strong fighters at the extreme of the Dao Realm under his command. Before today, he was the most qualified to claim the sixth tribe."
"Yes, if he weren’t lacking the Royal Family’s bloodline, there would definitely be a place for him in Ice King City, but now he’s also doing quite well."
"Let’s see how this Royal Family youth responds."
"Sir, this is the leader of the Break Dark Tribe," Lucas whispered beside Zhang Menglong. He had confronted this person several times before, their strengths very close, but Lucas had been imprisoned for so many years and was probably a bit behind now.
"Great, let’s use him to make a statement. Beat him heavily or kill him, as you wish. I want everyone to be too afraid to speak another word of nonsense today!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lucas took a step forward, his gaze instantly locking onto the Break Dark Tribe’s leader.
"Lucas? Hahaha, could you be planning to make a move on me? I’ll admit, back then you could indeed fight me, but you’ve been stagnant these years while I’ve made several breakthroughs. What do you have now to fight me?"
Lucas said nothing, but a massive battle axe appeared in his hand.
"Supreme Weapon!"
The instant the giant axe appeared, everyone gasped, even the Break Dark Tribe’s leader showed a wary expression.
Though he was a leader of a major tribe, all the Supreme Weapons in Ice King City were in the hands of the five royal families. He didn’t have the right to possess a Supreme Weapon!
Lucas’s strength might be somewhat inferior, but a Supreme Weapon was enough to close the gap between them, maybe even surpass him!
"Insulting the sir, deserves to die!"
Lucas’s axe swung down like a mountain towards the Break Dark Tribe leader, who quickly drew his own weapon, only to hear a crisp sound as it was effortlessly shattered by Lucas’s axe, leaving a deep gouge on the ground.
The Break Dark Tribe leader retreated in terror, but at that moment, a set of armor materialized on Lucas, and from the back of this armor, a pair of Wings of Light emerged, instantly tripling his speed!
"That’s a Supreme Armor!"
"A weapon and a set of armor; in the entire Ice King City, even among the Royal Families, those who could defeat Lucas are very few!"
"How did he acquire such equipment anyway?"
"I... retract what I said!" The Break Dark Tribe leader realized he wouldn’t leave alive today if he didn’t concede.
But Zhang Menglong had already given the order. This was Lucas’s first task; he had to prove himself in front of his new leader!
"I’ll spare your life, but you must leave an arm behind!"
A cold flash, and the Break Dark Tribe leader’s arm, along with half his shoulder, was sent flying through the air, scattering crystal dust all over the ground.
"Scram!"
The Break Dark leader picked up his severed arm and immediately disappeared into the crowd. To be alive was already extremely fortunate.
"Anyone else have objections?" Zhang Menglong questioned.
Fifty-eight Dao Realm extreme subordinates simultaneously stepped forward, each holding a Supreme Weapon, a lineup that left everyone stunned.
"What did this Rift Sky Royal youth experience while he was away from Ice King City?"
"To amass such an amount of Supreme Crystals and supply his subordinates with so many Supreme Weapons, could he have discovered a treasure trove?"
"It seems the Ice Throne is destined to become the sixth super tribe of Ice King City."
