The old clan leader said, "Two months ago, the flower demon Pansy launched a massive attack. You were away from home, so you didn't know about it. At that time, we were defeated in a fierce battle, so I sent a signal arrow, and Taoist Wu Ya came to help us quickly. If it weren't for him, I would not only be poisoned."

After the old patriarch was poisoned, Li Changsheng, who had just returned from his outside trip, was focused on looking for the red manta ray and did not ask much about the battle with the flower demon. Only then did he learn about these past events.

Li Changsheng said with relief: "So, this Taoist priest is also a great benefactor of our tribe. I hope he can save Brother Chen this time. Changsheng will definitely repay this kindness."

The old clan leader nodded and said, "Master Wu Ya has traveled all over the world and has been to many large states. His lifelong ambition is to subdue demons. He will never care about repaying a favor. If there is a chance, just help him subdue the demon."

Li Changsheng silently noted it down, "Grandma, there are only a dozen of us left now, and my eldest brother is unconscious. Do we really have to go to Li Shixiao for help?"

The old patriarch sighed, "This is also for the sake of the overall situation. It is a helpless move."

Li Changsheng said worriedly, "After years of internal strife, many tribes have been wiped out. The Disha tribe led by Li Shixiao is indeed the strongest, but this man is arrogant and looks down on everyone. If we go there, even if we can find shelter, we will definitely be bullied!"

The old patriarch said, "Isn't it because of internal strife that the various tribes of Jiuli are in this situation today? We always say how selfish others are and how they don't care about the overall situation. If we still care about these things now, when the day comes when we really ruin our foundation, how can we face our ancestors?"

Li Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "Grandma is right. I have learned your lesson. But we are outnumbered now. Will Li Shixiao take us in?"

The old chief recalled: "Back then, I was on equal footing with Li Shixiao's father and dealt with him all my life. After Li Shixiao took over as the chief, I only met him twice. Fortunately, there has been no direct fighting between our two tribes, and there is not much grudge between us. Now that the Ten Thousand Demons are powerful, they also need manpower, and they should take us in. Now we can only gather all the tribes together to hope to resist foreign enemies, and only the Disha tribe has this strength."

Li Changsheng suddenly remembered something, "Grandmother, I heard that the high priest calculated that this year a great hero will be born within the Jiuli, uniting and leading the Jiuli to reunite. Do you think it will be Li Shixiao?"

The old patriarch shook his head. "Although the high priest's predictions have always been accurate, it is not certain whether this sentence came from his mouth. However, if there really is such a great hero, it doesn't matter who it is."

"Alas," Li Changsheng sighed, "Back then, our Dixiong tribe was one of the most powerful and prestigious tribes. Grandmother, you have been a soldier all your life and you are very popular in the Nanman tribe. If it weren't for my father's early death, you would have been able to unify the Nanman tribe. Now, for our sake, you have to rely on a younger generation like that. It's really unfair to you."

The old clan leader waved his hand, "In the current situation, we can't care who will take the lead. Besides, at my age, how many days can I keep on complaining? I just thought that when I get to Li Shixiao, I can use my old face to find a way out for you two brothers, so that you can have a better life in the future. I don't ask for anything else."

Li Changsheng held the old patriarch's hand tightly with tears in his eyes, "Grandma, I...I will never contradict my elder brother again. I will listen to you and my elder brother. We must live well!"

The old patriarch patted his shoulder with relief, and suddenly heard a heavy groan beside him.

"Water... uh... water..."

The two turned around and saw that the seriously injured Li Jiuzhan had finally woken up.

"Big brother!"

Li Changsheng was overjoyed and quickly handed over the animal skin water bag.

Li Jiuzhan was hit by Chen Qingzhou's "Jue Yi" attack and still felt hot all over. He took the water bag and drank it all.

The old patriarch finally smiled and said, "Kid, it's good that you woke up."

The tribesmen guarding outside were also very excited when they heard that Li Jiuzhan had woken up.

Li Jiuzhan adjusted himself for a while, rubbing his head vigorously. He glanced around with his tiger eyes and saw many unfamiliar things. "Grandma, Second Brother, this... what is this place?"

Just as Li Changsheng was about to explain, Li Jiuzhan suddenly became furious and said, "Where's that kid named Chen? I'm going to kill him!"

As he got angry, the wound on his abdomen that had just scabbed over was torn again. The pain was so severe that he broke out in cold sweats and was unable to speak.

The old patriarch placed one hand on Li Jiuzhan's wound, channeling his inner strength to help relieve his pain. "Ah Zhan, Chen Qingzhou is our ally, so let's not talk about this anymore. When you were unconscious, we were attacked by the flower demon. If it weren't for him, we would have met in the underworld by now."

This was a bit of an exaggeration, but the old patriarch really didn't want to create any more trouble.

Li Jiuzhan paused for a moment. He knew that Li Changsheng was honest and never lied, so he asked him, "Really?"

Li Changsheng said anxiously, "Brother, is what grandma said false? There was originally a misunderstanding between you and Brother Chen. If you hadn't repeatedly made things difficult for him, it wouldn't have gotten so serious. We are safe for now, but he is still in Kongyou Valley and his life or death is uncertain!"

Hearing this, Li Jiuzhan looked at the old patriarch and said, "Grandma, it's not that I don't believe you, but that boy is so smooth-talking that I really don't trust him."

The old patriarch shook his head. "Does a person who is slick and smooth-talking necessarily mean he is a bad person? There are too many hypocrites who appear to be righteous. If you judge people by their appearance, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later."

Li Jiuzhan had no way to refute it, so he had to hold back and not mention it. He practiced Qigong and regulated his breathing for a while, "Where are we?"

Li Changsheng told Li Jiuzhan about the current situation and future plans. Li Jiuzhan had dealt with Li Shixiao before and knew that this person was extremely cunning and difficult to get along with. Li Changsheng had a hot temper and was determined to be the leader of a region, so how could he just live under someone else's roof?

The old clan leader spoke first, "I know what you are thinking. I have already told Changsheng and I have not hidden it from you. You must be patient in joining Li Shixiao this time. I will block all the storms with my old bones. You just need to bide your time and wait for the opportunity. I will fight for the opportunity for you to make achievements. If Jiuli still has a future, you will definitely have a place!"

Although Li Jiuzhan was reckless, he was not stupid. He had respect for his grandmother in his heart. He knew that this was the only way out. "Thank you for your concern, grandma. I will be careful."

"Yes," the old patriarch nodded, "You and Changsheng are brothers. Even if Jiuli is gone, it cannot change this blood relationship. How can you not be united? This is even more true when you go to Li Shixiao's place. You must take care of each other, otherwise you will only be bullied by outsiders."

The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

The old chieftain calmed down and said, "I received news before that Li Shixiao will hold a grand ceremony at the War God Mountain in the east to marry the sister of the chieftain of the Diying tribe. We have prepared gifts and it is a good opportunity to join him."

Li Jiuzhan said angrily: "It's already this time, and this old guy is still thinking about this?"

The old chief shook his head and said, "Not entirely. In order to unite the two tribes to fight against other tribes, this marriage was decided long ago. And after the marriage, Disha can legitimately take over Diying."

Li Jiuzhan said helplessly: "Disha, Diying, and us, were originally the three strongest tribes. Now it seems that Jiuli will all fall into the hands of Li Shixiao."

Li Changsheng asked worriedly, "Grandma, we have a feud with Diying. Will we get into trouble if we go there?"

The old patriarch shook his head. "In the past, when the Jiuli were in chaos, you fought me and I fought you every day. Now it's a matter of life and death, and we can't care about the past grudges. Besides, there is another important reason to go to the War God Mountain."
