Chapter 414: Chapter 262: The Tianqi King is a Grandmaster!!!_1

After hearing Huyan Tong’s response, Lu Chen wasn’t intimidated by the strength of the Barbarian Tribe Goddess. Although the goddess was powerful, the more potent she was, the less likely she would personally stoop to demeaning acts.

Under normal circumstances, even a Grandmaster would not easily appear on the battlefield, let alone a warrior from the Heavenly Human Realm.

Moreover, even if the goddess of the Barbarian Tribe really wanted to trouble the North Country, Lu Chen didn’t have to worry too much. Zhuge Zhongguang was about to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm, and Lu Chen believed that Zhuge could successfully make the breakthrough before the goddess came looking for trouble.

Even without relying on Zhuge Zhongguang, he could accelerate his cultivation speed and strive to enhance his own Cultivation State, hoping to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm as soon as possible.

Lu Chen then continued to ask, “Why did the Tianqi King march eastward? Was it to relocate to the North Land, or specifically to attack the North Country?”

Huyan Tong replied, “Initially, the goddess intended for the Tianqi King to relocate to the North Land and not act rashly for the time being. However, the king, in a foul mood after being defeated by the Da Yue Dynasty, wanted to vent his anger, and thus led us to attack the North Country.”

At this point, Huyan Tong immediately knelt down, “It was all the Tianqi King’s decision, it has nothing to do with me. I was forced to follow him to attack the North Country, I beg for mercy, sir!”

Hearing Huyan Tong’s words, Lu Chen fell into contemplation. He originally thought that the Tianqi King had his own reasons for coming to the North Land, but it turned out there was someone pushing him from behind.

What did the goddess of the Barbarian Tribe want the Tianqi King to do in the North Land? Was there something in the North Land that the goddess cared about?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen asked, “Do you know why your Barbarian Tribe Goddess had the Tianqi King come to the North Land?”

Huyan Tong replied, “I’m just a leader of a small tribe, how could I possibly know the thoughts of the goddess.”

Upon hearing Huyan Tong’s answer, Lu Chen suddenly regretted killing the Tianqi King so quickly.

Before he acted last night, his thought was to avoid prolonging the matter and to kill the Tianqi King early to prevent any mishaps. But by killing him so quickly, he had just deprived himself of a lot of intelligence.

It seemed that he needed to hesitate a bit before taking action in the future—being too decisive wasn’t always a good thing.

At this moment, Lu Chen glanced over the captured members of the Barbarian Tribe and then his gaze fell back on Huyan Tong, “Do you know anything else about your goddess? For example, how was your goddess born, or what kind of abilities does she possess?”

Huyan Tong responded, “My lord, I have told you all I know. I have only seen the goddess a few times, I really don’t know much about her.”

At this time, Mu Changtian approached Lu Chen and whispered in his ear, “Prince, how should we deal with this Barbarian Tribe General?”

After some thought, Lu Chen said, “First, seal his skill, then take him back to Yan County for further use. He might still be useful.”

Mu Changtian responded, “Understood.”

Lu Chen then said to Huyan Tong, “If you wish to live, be honest. If you dare to play any tricks, I will send you straight to meet your king.”

Huyan Tong replied, “Rest assured, my lord, I will be completely honest and won’t attempt to escape!”

Lu Chen no longer wasted words with Huyan Tong. He didn’t plan to interrogate other Barbarian Tribe soldiers about the goddess; given that even Huyan Tong knew so little about her, it was likely that the others had even less contact with her, probably knowing even less.

Lu Chen then turned and left.

No sooner had Lu Chen left the temporary camp of the captured Barbarians than Xiao Pengthian returned with Cavalry, bringing in a group of Barbarian Tribe soldiers who had fled the previous night.

Seeing Xiao Pengthian, Lu Chen immediately asked, “General Xiao, come here for a moment; I have something to ask you.”

Hearing this, Xiao Pengthian promptly came before Lu Chen, “Prince, what do you need from me?”

Lu Chen went straight to the point, “Have you ever heard of your Barbarian Tribe’s Goddess?”

Lu Chen thought that since Xiao Pengthian grew up among the Barbarian Tribe, and his status within the Sky Wolf King’s tribe was not too low, he should know some intelligence about the goddess.

Startled by Lu Chen’s question, Xiao Pengthian paused before saying, “Prince, when did the Barbarian Tribe have a Goddess? I have no knowledge of this.”

Realizing something from Xiao Pengthian’s response, Lu Chen immediately reflected that the Sky Wolf King’s tribe had relocated to the North Land quite early. It was possible that the Barbarian Tribe Goddess was born after the Sky Wolf King’s tribe had moved, and the tribe might not know anything about a goddess at all.

Lu Chen waved his hand, “Never mind then, carry on with your duties.”

This…

Xiao Pengthian paused again and then said, “I shall take my leave.”

After touring the battlefield of the previous night several times, Lu Chen returned to Ningbei City.

As Lu Chen was about to have the Brocade Guard send the latest battle report to Yan County, Wu Yuan came before him, handing him an envelope, “Prince, there is intelligence from Yan County.”

Lu Chen first took the envelope from Wu Yuan, opened it, and read through the intelligence inside.

Seeing that the intelligence mentioned the Da Yue Dynasty sending an envoy to the North Country, Lu Chen’s expression grew serious.

What did the Da Yue envoy want by coming to the North Country at such a time?

The intelligence stated that the envoy of the Da Yue Dynasty offered help, saying that if the North Country had any needs, they could turn to Da Yue, which would surely assist.
