Chapter 52

Wushi Gong learned from his subordinates about the information regarding the Yi tribe. It seemed that the Yi tribe had not suffered much damage during the beast tide, which made Wushi Gong somewhat disappointed and shocked.

How could this be!

He knew that the Yi tribe was located at the edge of the Fulong Mountain Range. When the beast tide erupted, they would have to face countless fierce beasts and the ravages of ferocious beasts. Even if his own Wu family faced such a scene, they would suffer heavy losses, or even be destroyed by the beast tide. He never expected that the Yi tribe would pass through this disaster unscathed.

At the same time, his subordinates also collected some information about the Yi tribe's actions before and after the beast tide.

Before the beast tide erupted, the Yi tribe had suddenly purchased over ten million fine iron arrows and one hundred thousand armor-piercing arrows from Black Dragon City.

The price of this massive amount of arrows would be at least several hundred thousand gold coins. Nearly half of Black Dragon City's arrow stock was taken away by the Yi tribe, and they managed to come up with this huge sum of money so easily.

After the beast tide ended, the Yi tribe had been in seclusion for a year, with no one leaving the tribe.

This made Wushi Gong increasingly feel that something was unusual.

Therefore, Wushi Gong ordered his subordinates to intensify their investigation of the Yi tribe, hoping to uncover the secrets.

In the Yi tribe, the tribal leaders were unaware that their recent unusual actions had caught the attention of the Wu family's patriarch, who was secretly investigating the Yi tribe.

The crisis had already begun to descend!

At this moment, the six members of Yi Tian's Reincarnation Team were having a barbecue and playing with their younger brothers and sisters in a secluded area of the tribe. Laughter and joyous shouts could be heard from time to time.

Yi Tian and his team usually focused on cultivation, but occasionally they would hold gatherings as a team.

Later, to prevent Xiao Long and Xiao Ting from feeling lonely, Yi Tian brought them along to the gatherings, and gradually, the gatherings turned into family-friendly events for the Reincarnation Team.

Xiao Hei, of course, always stayed by Xiao Long and Xiao Ting's side.

Over the past year, Xiao Hei's body size had not changed much, still small and cute.

However, only Yi Tian knew how much Xiao Hei had changed.

It could be said that at least one-third of the spirit stones he had received from the tribe over the past year had been devoured by Xiao Hei, at least two or three thousand medium-grade spirit stones, worth several million low-grade spirit stones.

After consuming tens of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones, the left head of Xiao Hei's left side finally grew, possessing the ability to devour and refine any substance.

However, to prevent Xiao Hei's unusual appearance from frightening his mother, Xiao Long, and Xiao Ting, Yi Tian kept Xiao Hei in this state.

Yi Tian had experienced transforming into a three-headed demonic dog twice, although only for a brief moment, which gave him a basic understanding of the three-headed demonic dog.

Xiao Hei's three heads were the Devouring Head, the Dark Head, and the Death Head, each with terrifying abilities and controlling their respective primal forces.

Xiao Hei's true strength could be said to be such that perhaps only Yi Tian could suppress him in the Yi tribe.

Two months passed quickly.

During these two months, Wushi Gong discovered more and more peculiarities about the Yi tribe.

As a major force in Black Dragon City with deep roots, the Wu family, after careful investigation by their subordinates, finally found some clues about the Yi tribe's large-scale purchase of various resources in Black Dragon City.

"Has the Yi tribe discovered some treasure recently!"

The Wu family's patriarch was now interested in the reason for the Yi tribe's sudden wealth.

Moreover, he was extremely envious of the Yi tribe's vast wealth, wishing to claim it for himself.

"What!"

In a quiet courtyard, several elders were startled upon hearing the Wu family patriarch's report.

"Is this true?"

One of the elders had a somewhat gloomy expression, clearly not a good-tempered person.

Wushi Gong hurriedly said, "This is indeed true. In recent times, the Yi tribe has spent tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones in the merchant shops under our Wu family's control, buying some of our rare items in stock. They have also been purchasing large quantities of spirit weapons, elixirs, and other items from other merchant shops, estimated to be worth at least several hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones."

"Whew..."

The Wu family's elders were all surprised.

A small tribe of just a few thousand people, the Yi tribe was undoubtedly very powerful and could be considered a major force in the vicinity of Black Dragon City, on par with their eight major families, the Black Dragon Society, the Great River Gang, the Dark Skull Corps, the Dark Demon Sect, and the Barbarian Tribes, with little difference in strength.

However, even after developing for three or four hundred years, the Wu family's total wealth was only about two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.

These two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones were the foundation of the Wu family, accumulated over hundreds of years by thousands of clan members, and could not be spent frivolously. Expenditures were strictly controlled and supervised by the elders.

Now, the Yi tribe had suddenly spent several hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones to purchase various resources, which made the Wu family's elders suspicious.

Could the Yi tribe have discovered an ancient treasure or a spirit vein mine!

Only this could explain why the Yi tribe could suddenly come up with so many spirit stones.

Regardless, the Yi tribe definitely possessed a large amount of spirit stones, a huge resource that would make even the Wu family covetous.

However, the Yi tribe was also a major force. Even if the Wu family wanted to confront them, it would come at a heavy cost, which the Wu family could not afford, and there was even a risk of being outmaneuvered by other forces.

"Should we just give up?"

Elder Wu Lei said somewhat unwillingly.

From various clues, it was clear that the Yi tribe had definitely obtained some treasure; otherwise, they would not have spent several hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones without hesitation.

It could be imagined that the Yi tribe had at least several million low-grade spirit stones in wealth. If the Yi tribe were destroyed and their wealth plundered, the Wu family would leap to become the top force in Black Dragon City, the unchallenged king.

Elder Wu Ke, with a somewhat gloomy expression, chuckled and said, "Of course, we won't confront the Yi tribe head-on. I heard that Tian Sha has some grudges with the Yi tribe. We can recruit him."

"Moreover, we can pass the information to the Black Dragon Society and the Dark Skull Corps. I believe they will be very interested."

Wushi Gong, the Wu family patriarch, was now somewhat anxious and said, "Elder Wu Ke, if we bring in the Black Dragon Society and the Dark Skull Corps, we might not get much."

He knew the greed and cunning of the Black Dragon Society and the Dark Skull Corps.

The Black Dragon Society had existed since the founding of Black Dragon City, extremely ancient and with a great foundation, having tens of thousands of members and being the top force in the vicinity of Black Dragon City. If not for the suppression by the eight major families and the Great River Gang, it would have become the top force in this vast land, with other forces only able to look up to it.

The Dark Skull Corps was even more ruthless, with only profit in their eyes, willing to do anything.

Although the Wu family had some dealings with the Dark Skull Corps, in the face of such a huge resource, the Dark Skull Corps would turn on them without hesitation.

Elder Wu De, with a somewhat cunning expression, said, "Do you think the Yi tribe is so easy to deal with? We are just using the Black Dragon Society and the Dark Skull Corps as a shield. When the time comes, we will strike with a thunderous blow, wiping out the Black Dragon Society and the Dark Skull Corps. At the very least, we will severely cripple them, making it impossible for them to recover. Even if the Black Dragon Society and the Dark Skull Corps suffer little loss, we will gain a share without much loss, and we will eliminate a major force."

Wushi Gong, the Wu family patriarch, finally understood, thinking to himself: Old foxes are indeed wily.

Thus, after meeting with the Wu family's elders, Wushi Gong sent messengers to the Black Dragon Society and the Dark Skull Corps, passing on this information.

At the same time, Wushi Gong also sent people to find Tian Sha and Di Sha.

For a time, Black Dragon City began to stir with hidden currents, and a massive storm was about to erupt.
