Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Shifting the blame eastward?"

"Young Master Lu, could it be that you intend to...?"

Before Gu Canyang could finish speaking, Lu Feng took out another silver token engraved with a blood-red fire lotus from his storage ring.

"This is... the Xuan Yin Token of the Wusheng Sect?"

Seeing Lu Feng suddenly pull out a silver token, Gu Canyang's old face also froze slightly, and he immediately showed suspicion, "Huh, why do you still have such a thing on you?"

This token is crafted from rare black silver ore and engraved with a blood-red fire lotus. It is generally only worn by figures of the level of leader of the Wusheng Sect or above, and it is also one of the symbols of Wusheng Sect masters.

Many of the Wusheng Sect's experts died at Lu Feng's hands in the past, including some powerful "Sun" level branch leaders. Therefore, Lu Feng has collected quite a few of these Xuan Silver Tokens.

"Hehe, of course it's very useful!"

Faced with Gu Canyang's doubts, Lu Feng grinned again, then a sly glint appeared in his eyes, "Although the Bald Tribe is strong, it is still far inferior to the demonic cultists of the Wusheng Sect."

"Although the old scoundrel Tianmu is dead, the Bald Tribe is completely unaware of it. As long as I send someone to the Bald Tribe in Tianmu's name to ask for help, mentioning that I was attacked by the Wusheng Sect, and leave behind the Wusheng Sect's unique Xuan Silver Token, I can naturally shift the blame to the other side..."

"Moreover, this move will not only incite a bloody battle between the Bald Tribe and the Lifeless Cult, but even if those monsters from the Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance come knocking on our door in the future, they will immediately target the Bald Tribe and the Lifeless Cult, and will be even less likely to suspect me...!"

Lu Feng remained calm and unhurried, clearly having a plan in mind and showing no sign of panic.

"Heh, I didn't expect you to be so cunning..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Canyang nodded secretly, then added, "However, while this method is feasible, it's not foolproof. I'm afraid those barbarians from the Bald Tribe won't fall for it in the end..."

"It's ancient; you'll only know if you'll be fooled after you try."

Lu Feng fiddled with the black silver token in his hand for a moment, then said, "Besides, if these barbarians were really that smart, they wouldn't have been trapped in the Southern Barbarian Lands for so many years, and they couldn't even subdue the four Lingnan Kingdoms that are usually scheming against each other."

"You're overestimating these barbarians..."

After saying that, Lu Feng wasted no time and immediately returned to the ruins of the Shiva Temple, which had been reduced to ruins. At the same time, he left the unique Xuan Silver Token of the Wusheng Sect on the lower body of Tianmu's mutilated corpse.

"My dear bald brother, I, Tianmu, was in seclusion to break through to a higher level, but unfortunately, I was ambushed by the treacherous Wusheng Sect. Now I am trapped in the ancient Shiva temple on the banks of the Blackwater River, and I fear my life is nearing its end. I beg you, my brother, to come and save me. This is my last word, Tianmu..."

With a flourish of his pen, Lu Feng wrote a few lines of large characters, then resealed the sheepskin letter in his hand. At the same time, he sent someone to deliver it to Wu Yunmi, asking her to find another way to hand it over to the Bald Tribe.

After all, he, as an outsider warrior, was not very familiar with the situation in the Southern Barbarian Lands, while Wu Yunmi, as a former powerful lord, should have known the location of the Bald Tribe.

...

Time flies, and another three days have passed.

Wuyun Tribe, Ancestral Altar

Dozens of figures appeared, surrounding the sacrificial platform opposite. Everyone looked on with worship, their eyes fixed on the gray-robed figure in the center of the platform, as if he were the savior of the Dark Cloud tribe.

"Young Master Lu, I have carried out all the instructions you gave me in the past!"

Kneeling respectfully before the grey-robed figure at the center of the platform, Wu Yunmi said, "By the way, I heard that Young Hero Lu is somewhat interested in the silverstone of the Wu Yun tribe. I, in my humble opinion, have specially retrieved some top-quality silverstone from the underground mines of the Wu Yun tribe. I hope Young Hero Lu will accept them!"

After saying that, Wu Yunmi also took out a storage ring from his pocket, then presented it to Lu Feng with both hands facing upwards.

After all, the other party not only saved the entire Wuyun tribe, but also exposed the conspiracy of Tianmu the old thief and others. Now, the Wuyun tribe is offering some silver stones as a token of gratitude, which is nothing at all!

"It really is a Celestial Stone...!"

Lu Feng took the storage ring and immediately circulated his Yuan Power to examine it. The next moment, a fanatical look appeared in his eyes.

Just as he had predicted, the "silver stones" unearthed by the Wuyun tribe were none other than the rare and precious Immortal-Nourishing Stones!

Moreover, this storage ring contains quite a few Immortal Stones, about thirty or so, the smallest of which is about the size of a fingernail and the largest is as big as a fist. The total number far exceeds the Immortal Stones that Lu Feng picked up in the past!

"We've struck it rich!"

"This trip to the Southern Barbarians was definitely worthwhile!"

Looking at the huge pile of glittering Immortal-Nourishing Stones inside his storage ring, Lu Feng almost shouted out in excitement.

After all, if all these Immortal-Nourishing Stones were given to the Treasure Basin to absorb, it would likely cause the Treasure Basin's spiritual energy to increase several times over, and at the same time, it would bring us one step closer to completely repairing the Treasure Basin!

"Chief Wu, we're all on the same side from now on, no need to be so polite."

Suppressing his excitement, Lu Feng waved for the other party to stand up, and then said, "Moreover, your Wuyun tribe has suffered such a calamity, not only losing many soldiers and generals but also greatly diminishing its foundation. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold onto this oasis treasure land in the future..."

"Young Master Lu, what do you mean by this?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yunmi was taken aback, his face showing a hint of surprise.

"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

Lu Feng shook his head, his tone still meaningful, and said, "Chief Wu, I don't think I need to explain this much, do I?"

"Your Wuyun tribe is merely a small tribe with a population of barely over ten thousand, yet you occupy such a vast desert oasis. Naturally, this will attract the covetous eyes and attacks of other southern barbarian tribes, and you will find it difficult to escape future bloodshed..."

"The reason you were able to coexist peacefully in the past was only because of the infamous reputation of the old villain Tianmu. Now that the old villain Tianmu is dead, and your Wuyun tribe has lost much of its strength, the other southern barbarian tribes will probably not easily give up such a 'fat piece of meat.' Do you agree with me?"

"this...!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yunmi's expression also turned ugly, clearly indicating that Lu Feng's words were not unfounded.

"I beg you, Young Master Lu, to show me a way out!"

Hesitant and uncertain, Wu Yunmi knelt down again and kowtowed solemnly to Lu Feng opposite him, seemingly intending to accept him as his new master in order to save his life.

"We implore Young Master Lu to discern our true intentions and show us a way out...!"

Upon seeing this, the Southern Barbarian warriors around the altar did not hesitate at all, immediately kneeling down to pay their respects and saying in unison.

These people were all trusted confidants recently promoted by Wu Yunmi, and they were extremely loyal to him.

Now that they see their leader, Wu Yunmi, choosing to pledge allegiance to Lu Feng, these Southern Barbarian warriors naturally follow suit, welcoming Lu Feng, this outsider warrior, as their new master.
