Chapter 804: Chapter 804 - Divert Their Attention

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Great Elder, we captured someone from outside. He got in from the outside world.” The tent curtain was lifted, several people filed in quickly.

“Come in, behave yourself!”

The white-haired boy whose hands were tied was pushed into the tent.

The boy knelt to the ground with a thump.

His hair was grabbed, forcing him to raise his head to look at the elder sitting in the center of the tent.

The elder wearing a long red robe poured tea from the teapot into his cup. The aroma of tea instantly filled the tent.

“Does anyone else know about our secret border beside you?” The elder asked slowly.

The elder’s speech was somewhat difficult to comprehend. It sounded like some sort of dialect to the white-haired boy, but he could manage to understand.

“Yes, I came here because they were chasing after me. They didn’t follow me, they’re hiding outside the secret border,” the white-haired boy hastily said.

At the same time, the white-haired boy was shocked. These people seemed like mutated people.

They have skin tones he’s never seen before.

If not for the people coming after him, how would he fall to such circumstances? The white-haired boy felt bitter and resented those who were chasing him.

“Oh?”

The white-haired boy suddenly felt the atmosphere in the tent was off. It became very solemn.

“Erect the altar, invite the Sea God. We cannot decide on this matter.”

“Roger.”

Invite what sea god...? The uneasy feeling in the white-haired boy’s belly was getting stronger and stronger.

“I, I...I’m willing to join you,” the white-haired boy quickly said, “I’ll listen to everything you say, and I’ll tell you anything you want to know.”

But no one paid any mind to him.

An altar was erected on the edge of a creek outside the tent. After some mysterious ritual, the water in the creek suddenly ceased to flow, then a water person made of water floated out of the surface of the creek.

“Great Sea God, this is a mutated person from the outside world....” the Great Elder of this tribe told everything to Magical Brain.

Magical Brain turned its head to stare at the white-haired boy.

Its sunken eye sockets were dark and deep, like two black holes.

The white-haired boy’s gaze gradually got dull. The memories in his brain were forcibly read by Magical Brain.

After a while, he fell limp to the ground, gazing at the sky in a daze.

“There are others outside,” Magical Brain said, then vanished in place.

The next moment, the clouds gathered above Qing Tian Plateau’s sky. A vast amount of groundwater seeped out of the earth to form a water giant.

The water giant walked out of the Spatial Tunnel, then returned with two people.

“Your Grace?” The great elder asked cautiously.

“We’ve been exposed,” Magical Brain said in a low voice.

Its words fell like thunder.

“You haven’t been exposed for now,” a gentle voice suddenly rang in everyone’s ear.

The clouds rolled and scattered, an azure dragon claw descended from the sky. The claw held a fainted mutated person.

“This is the mutated person who left, how you want to deal with him is up to you.”

Although these mutated people were all caught alive and didn’t leak the information, after several capable servants backed by reputable families in Mingyu Country went missing, Earth Star was already at risk of exposure.

“Not that we don’t have a way to deal with it,” Ji Hanwu said slowly as he breathed out a puff of smoke.

The tribal elders all stared at Ji Hanwu.@@novelbin@@

Ji Hanwu didn’t keep them hanging, “They have some servants missing, and also lost a high-grade Familiar, that certainly would attract the investigation of noble families. But we can divert their attention.”

“We’ll take action from two routes. First, according to the information we collected, this noble family has enemies in Mingyu Country. We can collaborate with their enemy family and damage their industry, making them too busy to deal with other matters. Although a high-grade Familiar is very precious, home base is the most important thing for any force.”

“I don’t think that’s appropriate. This will target them, but also increases our probability of exposure, since collaboration between forces is easier said than done,” You Xuanming said in a deep voice.

“Then let’s make it easy, send people to attack their industries in every location. Assassinate their elite men,” Ji Hanwu said calmly, “We’re in the dark, they’re in the light, just make it, so they have no time to spare on these little things.”

“Hahaha, this method is simple enough. I like it. That’s right. Just kill their a**es!” Divine Bear Tribe’s patriarch Pi Hu roared with laughter.

These patriarchs weren’t stupid. They all understood Ji Hanwu’s suggestion.

Everyone spoke at once, proposing different methods and assumptions under Ji Hanwu’s plan.

Ji Hanwu coughed, “I’m not finished yet. Second, we send someone to disguise as that boy who stole the Familiar. Let him show his face in a place far from this area and attract their attention there. Even if this Familiar is very important to them, we can lead them to investigate an area far away from our region, and lower the risk of exposure.”

“Why don’t we just send the Familiar that boy stole to the opposing force of that family? This might even lead them to battle and deplete their forces.”

“No, this Familiar also knows of the existence of our secret border. What if news of us gets leaked?”

“We can clear this part of its memory.”

“What if they have a means of recovery?”

Finally, they decided to send a Quasi-God elder from Xuanhu Tribe, who excelled at going undercover to carry out the destruction plan in Jiutian Shidi. At the same time, they sent a Quasi-God from Green God Tribe to Withered Country to disguise as that Familiar and attract the attention of that family.

After the meeting was over, a subordinate walked into the room carrying a young orange Familiar. “Chairman Ji, the elders told me to bring this to you, they said they were putting this Familiar in your care.”

Ji Hanwu, who was lying on the armchair, opened his eyes. He smiled and shook his head.

Why would they give it to an old man like me?

They’re just trying to please Peng.

I didn’t think I would have a day when I relied on my grandson.

But this feels pretty good.

“Meow,” the little orange tiger cried gently.

Ji Hanwu took it over and held it in his arms, rubbing the little tiger’s head.

“A hefty little guy. Since you’re orange, and somewhat like a cat, we’ll call you Orange.”

“Meow.” The little tiger slapped two little paws that looked like they had white gloves on onto Ji Hanwu’s Face. You couldn’t tell if it liked the name or not.

Rumble...

The sky suddenly darkened, thunder clouds gathered overhead, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled.

Ji Hanwu stood before the floor window and gazed at the sky. The light from the lightning lit up his indefinite expression.

The change in weather lasted for two whole hours before the ending.

The sky cleared up, and sunlight spilled over the earth again.

“Master, I’ve succeeded,” a hazy voice appeared in the room.

Behind Ji Hanwu, a jet-black, black dragon made purely of black fog slowly materialized.

Its dark red eyes glimmered with a violent crimson.
