Chapter 287: Chapter 287

Snow blankets the foothills of the Holy Mountain in Gray Wolf Kingdom, while the Holy River, as always, meanders through the vast grasslands.

However, today, the atmosphere among the Baihua Tribe by the riverbank is unusually tense.

The men of the tribe, all clad in armor and wielding Spiritual Artifacts, bear solemn expressions on their faces as if facing a great enemy.

Meanwhile, the elderly, women, and children of the tribe, have long since used the teleportation Array left by Zhao Letian to evacuate, gathering now on a distant bank of the Holy River.

"Cailian, you take the tribespeople and go. Dad will stay behind to buy you time."

In the tribe's main tent, Clan Leader Mu Lang spoke with a grave expression.

"Dad, you should take the tribespeople and leave. You are the Clan Leader, and the tribespeople can't do without you. Moreover, with the cultivation resources left by Zilong, my cultivation level has already reached the True Martial Fifth Realm, making me the strongest in the tribe. It's safer if I stay behind."

Cailian spoke solemnly from the side.

"Cailian, you should know, what we have offended this time is a big tribe. The opponent has Sect Martial Realm masters and many High-level True Martial Realm fighters. Any one of them is stronger than you. Facing them, it doesn't matter who stays behind, the result will be the same. Besides, how could I, Mu Lang, abandon my daughter and escape alone? Stop arguing with Dad. I've already lived a full life; you still have your whole life ahead of you. Go, and take the tribespeople to safety."

Mu Lang shook his head, his resolve firm.

"Dad, if that's the case, then let the tribespeople escape on their own. Let's face life and death together as father and daughter."

Cailian said resolutely, unable to bear the thought of her father staying behind alone, nor would she let him face the danger by himself.

"You silly girl, Dad staying behind alone is enough, go quickly."

Mu Lang's expression darkened.

In his view, facing the big tribe that has Sect Martial Realm masters, whoever remains to cover the retreat will inevitably die. Even if Cailian stays, it wouldn't change anything and would only mean a pointless death.

"Dad, things might not be as bleak as you think. Although the Green Wolf Tribe has Sect Martial masters, those masters might not personally come after our little tribe. If today only High-level True Martial practitioners come, relying on the grand tribal Array left by Zilong and the Puppet which can contend with a True Martial Eighth Realm warrior, our Baihua Tribe might still survive this ordeal."

Cailian said earnestly.

"You have a point there, but what if a Sect Martial Realm master shows up anyway? According to Zilong, this Array can't stop a Sect Martial Realm master."

Mu Lei nodded, though still with a heavy look.

"If a Sect Martial Realm master really does appear, then we'll escape using the teleportation Array left by Zilong."

"But I'm worried that even with that teleportation Array, we can't escape from a Sect Martial Realm master. Cailian, you should go." E$nj.oyin!g^ the story^?* Fi&nd mo%re- at *.#

Mu Lei said with a furrowed brow, not fully aware of the extents of a Sect Martial Realm master's capabilities and thus unwilling to let Cailian take such a risk.

"Dad, don't say anymore. My mind is made up. If we really can't escape this ordeal, then it must be our fate. If I die, I will have no regrets."

Cailian shook her head, her resolve firm.

"Clan Leader, it's bad news. The army of the Green Wolf Tribe has arrived."

Just then, outside the tent, someone suddenly made a report.

"They're here so quickly? It's fortunate we moved the old, the weak, women, and children out in advance, otherwise it would have been troublesome."

Mu Lang's gaze became intense.

"Dad, let's go out and take a look."

Cailian spoke resolutely while, at the same time, a flash of Spirit Light appeared in her hand as she took out the black puppet Zhao Letian had left her.

Then, father and daughter headed together toward the outside of the tent.

Looking out, the territory of the Baihua Tribe was enveloped in a powerful Array Formation Light Shield, precisely the protective tribal Array personally arranged by Zhao Letian.

Outside the protective Array of Baihua Tribe, a massive army numbering tens of thousands was amassed, a vast crowd that had surrounded the Baihua Tribe layer by layer.

Watching the vast enemy forces outside the Array Formation Light Shield, the few hundred warriors within the Baihua Tribe felt extremely nervous, their palms filled with sweat.

The number of enemy troops was nearly a hundred times their own, and moreover, the enemy's cultivation levels were much stronger than theirs. Without the Array Formation Light Shield, a single charge would likely lead to their total annihilation.

"A First-level High-stage Array? Unexpectedly, a small tribe would possess such a strong Array, but if you think you can oppose my Green Wolf Tribe with this broken Array, then you are far too naive. Even True Martial Ninth Realm experts cannot withstand it, how could it stop the advance of my Green Wolf Tribe's army?"

Just then, a handsome young man with a wolf head tattoo on his face and riding a giant green wolf suddenly stepped forward from the Green Wolf Army, glanced at the protective tribal Array of Baihua Tribe, first with some surprise, then his eyes showed contempt and disdain as he spoke.

"This bastard, at such a young age, already has the cultivation of True Martial Seventh Realm, his talent is not weak, what a pity his intentions are not right, otherwise, he could have competed with that brat Zhao Zilong."

Mu Lang stared at the handsome young man riding the green wolf, his expression filled with complex emotions.

The handsome young man, named Hulun Li'en, was the young lord of the Green Wolf Tribe, barely into his twenties yet his cultivation had already achieved great completion in the True Martial Seventh Realm. In the vicinity of the Holy River Basin, his talent was extremely formidable, a famed prodigy far and wide, and countless young girls wished to marry him.

However, this guy was promiscuous by nature, never showing true feelings towards any woman, merely toying with them, that is, until he met Cailian.

From the moment he first saw Cailian, he vowed to marry her and promised an astonishingly generous dowry to Baihua Tribe.

However, Cailian had long had her heart set on someone else and naturally wouldn't agree to his proposal.

Resultantly, the guy, infuriated by shame, vowed to lead an army to flatten the Baihua Tribe and forcibly take Cailian, which led to the current situation.

"Cailian, I'm giving you one last chance, come with me now, and I can spare your Baihua Tribe. Also, the dowry I promised will not be shortchanged. Otherwise, once I break through the Array, everyone in Baihua Tribe will die."

Hulun Li'en stared at Cailian within the Array, coldly smiled, and threatened.

"Act if you're going to act; spare us the talk."

Cailian stood resolute and fearless, coldly speaking.

She looked at the situation within the Green Wolf Tribe and didn't find any Sect Martial Realm experts, which somewhat buoyed her courage.
