Chapter 20: Bullying
A month later, Ge Yao's death was finally discovered.
The news spread as many Ge tribesmen cried. Although Ge Yao had a troublesome personality, she was kind-hearted and the beauty of the tribe, people loved her. She had many pursuers in Ge tribe.
"Oh my daughter, it was father who harmed you…" Old Ge tribe leader was extremely upset, falling terribly ill.
Ge Guang was the stand-in tribe leader with the elders assisting him. Ge tribe was anguished and upset, they had a heavy mood.
Ge Yao's death had huge impacts. Man tribe leader's third son Man Duo fell in love with Ge Yao at first sight, he had been demanding for her, now that she was dead, where were they going to find a girl for him?
...
During this time Fang Yuan was refining his soul more and more into the wolfman soul while also using the jun strength Gu from time to time until someone knocked on his door.
Soon after, a voice was heard: "Uncle Chang Shan Yin, junior Ge Guang would like to meet you."
Upon seeing Fang Yuan, Ge Guang kneeled on the ground, his eyes were red, begging: "Uncle, please save me."
Fang Yuan's gaze shone, he knew the answer in his heart, as he spoke: "What happened? Is Man tribe attacking us at full force, have they charged into Ge tribe's camp already?"
Ge Guang answered: "Uncle is half right, the problem is Man tribe. The Man tribe leader's third son Man Duo heard that father was bedridden and unconscious, thus he immediately brought his Man tribe experts over to challenge us, wanting us to hand over my sister Ge Yao. But my sister is already dead, how can I hand her over to him? No matter how I explained, that Man Duo lad did not believe me.
Fang Yuan helped Ge Guang up and said: "During these days, I have been imposing on Ge tribe, I cannot watch from the sidelines, bring me there."
"Uncle, I thank you on behalf of our entire tribe!" Ge Guang was overjoyed.
The two walked out, but before they got to the entrance, they heard the shouts and screams outside.
"Ge tribe is full of cowardly rats, come out and accept your death!" This was the voice of a young man.
"Man Duo, you are going too far!" A Ge tribe elder screamed.
"Hehehe, so what if I am bullying you. Leopards and wolves capture their prey, eagles and falcons bully small birds, this is the rule of the world! Quickly hand over Ge Yao, otherwise I will continue challenging you and kill every single member of Ge tribe."
"Despicable! If old tribe leader was here, would you dare?" Ge tribe elder rebuked.
Man Duo was furious: "Hmph, you are the despicable ones, you agreed to the wedding but now you refuse to hand over the woman. You went back on your words! I know, you are hiding Ge Yao, trying to stall for time. First, you said she ran away, now you said she's dead. Do you think I am a fool? If a mere rabbit dares to toy with a wolf, you will have to pay with your life.
Shi Wu, continue beating them, challenge them. Ge tribe, quickly send your next victim here to fight. Hahaha!"
He walked on the center of the stage, staring at Ge tribe's camp: "Why is no one here? Don't tell me you are afraid!"
"Cowardly chickens, let me give you some courage. I have a hundred thousand primeval stones here, if anyone dares to come here and defeat me, I will hand the primeval stones over to you."
No one answered him.
Shi Wu laughed in a frenzy: "Ge tribe, Ge tribe, you are but a bunch of rabbits and sheep!"
"Have you laughed enough?" With Ge Guang leading the way, Fang Yuan walked out of the crowd with a plain expression.
Shi Wu's laughter stopped, his pupils shrunk as he looked at Fang Yuan in shock.
"Rank four Gu Master! Who is this person?" Not just Shi Wu, but all of the Man tribesmen here had this huge question.
"Was Man tribe concealing another rank four Gu Master?" Man Duo felt something amiss.
He came here to find trouble because old Ge tribe leader was bedridden. But to think that Ge tribe had a second rank four battle strength expert!
"Before I came, I had already checked clearly, where is this expert from?"
Carrying such suspicions, Man Duo jumped down from his horse, changing his attitude as he placed his right hand at his chest, greeting Fang Yuan: "Hello friend, you are not from Ge tribe, why must you interfere in our matters?"
Fang Yuan's eyes showed amusement: "I, Chang Shan Yin, was fated to be Ge tribe's guest, I know northern plains rules and it is true that I should not interfere in others' business. But I had just heard this little brother taking out a hundred thousand primeval stones. I am lacking primeval stones recently, why would I reject money offered to me?"
Shi Wu heard this and wished he could slap his own mouth.
"My mouth was really itchy, to think I attracted a rank four expert." His heart was sour and bitter.
Man Duo laughed dryly: "This is an easy matter, if senior lacks primeval stones, this junior is willing to offer five hundred thousand primeval stones to you!"
As everyone watched nervously, Fang Yuan laughed proudly: "A gentleman only takes wealth that he deserves. I do not feel that I deserve a gift of five hundred thousand primeval stones. But a hundred thousand primeval stones that I earn from battle is extremely valuable. Come, according to northern plains rules, I accept this battle."
Fang Yuan walked onto the stage.
"Uncle Chang Shan Yin!" Ge Guang felt extremely touched, tears were overflowing as he was lost for words, shouting behind Fang Yuan as he cheered.
The elders of Ge tribe were all extremely moved.
Shi Wu gritted his teeth secretly as he entered the stage forcefully.
"Please." He bowed to Fang Yuan, barely forcing a smile.
Fang Yuan nodded lightly, standing on the spot as light azure wolf fur grew on his body rapidly.
The wolf fur covered his entire body, his ears, face, and even limbs.
"This is azure wolf skin Gu." Shi Wu's heart sank, although azure wolf skin Gu was a very common and ordinary rank four Gu, its defense was not something that a rank three Gu could easily penetrate.
Some even shouted loudly: "Kill this fellow, he killed our tribe's third elder!"
Shi Wu heard this and his heart shrunk, he sighed bitterly, feeling the huge trouble ahead of him: "Oh no! After the earlier battles, I have less than thirty percent of my primeval essence left, I am not his match at my peak condition, not to mention now."
Looking at Shi Wu who had a distracted gaze and stiff movements, Fang Yuan snickered in his heart. This person had lost his fighting spirit, even if he had his complete strength, he could not display half of it. After several matches, his primeval essence was obviously lacking.
"Come!" Fang Yuan stepped, and activated wolf sprint Gu, bursting forward like an arrow, as afterimages appeared behind him.
Shi Wu's heart was already in despair, seeing Fang Yuan's fierce charge, he retreated in fear.
At the same time, he summoned three flying bone shields.
Piak piak piak!
As Fang Yuan attacked at lightning speed, the three bone shields broke again.
He had the strength of twenty jun now, although he could not display all of it, it was no problem breaking these shields.
"What other moves do you have, use them all." Fang Yuan did not attack again, he gave Shi Wu a chance to catch his breath.
"Lie down." Fang Yuan sighed, stretching out one finger, it looked slow, but it rapidly touched the axe.
Shi Wu was already dizzy from Fang Yuan's movements, after feeling this force, he lost his balance and fell face flat on the ground.
Ge tribesmen saw his pathetic state and cheered loudly, as the thunderous sound turned into one phrase: "Kill him, kill him!"
But unexpectedly, Fang Yuan did not attack anymore.
"You are but a rank three, if I use rank four cultivation to kill you, others might think that I, the great Chang Shan Yin, am bullying the weak. Leave." Fang Yuan waved his hand.
"Uncle Chang Shan Yin! You cannot spare this scoundrel." Behind him, Ge Guang shouted.
But Fang Yuan ignored him.
Shi Wu reacted quickly, getting up and showed an expression of joy as he escaped death: "Thank you lord for sparing my life, thank you lord for sparing my life."
Fang Yuan frowned: "Scram."
"Yes, yes, yes." Shi Wu turned and left.
"Senior, I'll take my leave." Man Duo paid respects and rode his battle horse. Ge tribesmen mocked and scolded them as they left with great humiliation.
