Chapter 221 - Challenge
Hundreds of people kneeled and kowtowed to Tang Zheng.
Even though Tang Zheng had thick nerves, he was still deeply shocked by this scene, especially when the Shamans all looked at him with crazy and passionate gazes, Tang Zheng felt like he was the leader of a cult.
Only two people stood there: Tang Zheng and Mu Hongyan.
Mu Hongyan was stunned, this scene was like a dream to her, it was not real, in her view of the world, she did not have the habit of kneeling down and kowtowing.
Moreover, they were not forced to do so. Instead, they were sincere in their intentions.
She looked at Tang Zheng, not knowing how he could be so capable. What identity did this emissary have to be able to make them submit so willingly?
Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment before recovering, but he did not know what to say.
The elder knelt at the very front and said loudly, "The Witch Clan welcomes the arrival of the envoy."
"The Shaman Tribe welcomes the arrival of the envoy!" The earth-shattering shouts shocked everyone.
Tang Zheng felt that he should say something, so he coughed dryly. After holding back for a long time, he could only say one sentence: "Everyone, please rise."
No one got up, because the elder said, "I beg of you, envoy, please save us from the sea of suffering."
"I beg you, envoy, to save us from the sea of suffering." The shouts came again.
Tang Zheng originally did not care too much about this emissary's identity. After he recovered from his injuries, he would look for an opportunity to leave this place.
It wasn't clear if the elder had seen through his thoughts or not, but after causing such a grand scene that was completely unfolding, there was no way for him to retreat at all.
Looking at the gazes filled with expectation from the men, women, elders, children and the others, Tang Zheng knew that if he agreed this time, then he would have to fulfill his promise.
However, those eyes made it impossible for him to refuse. Besides, his own life was saved by the Witch clan, and it was reasonable for him to agree to their request.
Therefore, he said seriously, "Everyone respects me as the witch's messenger. I don't understand what virtue and ability I have to shoulder this heavy responsibility, but I will do my best to make everyone leave this vast Ten Thousand Huge Mountains."
"Thank you, Sir Envoy!" Tremendous thanks and cheers rang out, and many people had tears streaming down their cheeks. This was the wish of who knew how many generations they had been waiting for, and now, they finally had a chance to fulfill it.
"Elder, tell everyone to stand up, it's not good to kneel like this." Tang Zheng immediately supported the elder and whispered.
The elder was so excited that his hands were trembling. Tears welled up in his eyes as he said, "It is an honor for Lord Envoy to lead the Witch clan out of the Sea of Bitterness and kneel before you."
Tang Zheng rolled his eyes, this old fellow was stubborn, and said unhappily: "Didn't you say I was the envoy? Then listen to me and tell them to get up. "
Sure enough, the effect of raising his face was not bad, the elder immediately ordered everyone to stand, yet he still stood in the middle of the plaza, staring at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng felt as though he was about to be melted by these passionate gazes. She said to him, "Elder, although you kept on saying that I could lead you out of the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains, I don't have absolute confidence."
The elder firmly shook his head, "There is no need for you to be modest. Tomorrow, we will go to the Sacred Land and everything will become clear."
Tang Zheng was helpless.
That night, a bonfire was lit on the huge plaza, all of the clan members gathered to celebrate the arrival of the Emissary. Tang Zheng and Mu Hongyan were naturally the distinguished guests, sitting on the upper seats with the elder accompanying them.
Mu Hongyan looked at the people celebrating in the square around the bonfire. She, who was used to seeing such grand occasions, was deeply shocked by this sincere admiration and joy. From time to time, she would turn her head to look at Tang Zheng.
Under the shine of the firelight, the corners of his face were sharp, and there was an additional trace of a mysterious aura that caused him to be unable to help but want to investigate to the end.
Mu Hongyan had seen many successful men, but compared to the current Tang Zheng, they were nothing. Even the hundreds of millions of men were not comparable to him.
He was like a huge black hole, attracting people's attention and hearts.
Tang Zheng looked at the bonfire, and his gaze was involuntarily attracted to the four stone statues around the plaza. Under the illumination of the flames, the stone statues became even more mysterious.
"Elder, I heard that these stone statues are the guardian gods of the Witch clan, but they are stone statues. How can they protect the Witch clan?" Tang Zheng asked curiously.
The elder retracted his gaze and respectfully said, "The legend of the Guardian God is passed down from generation to generation. I don't know much about the Guardian God."
Tang Zheng felt that it was a pity, even the elders were not clear about the matter regarding the Divine Guardian God, so he could not ask, and changed his question, "The Witch Clan's people are all very strong, why is that?"
The elder's face was filled with pride as he said, "We Witch Clan are born with great strength, but that's only because we have great strength. We can only train when the restrictions come into contact with us."
Tang Zheng's heart moved. This Shaman was born with great strength, if he was able to cultivate, then his power would definitely be much stronger than ordinary people.
"Sir, the Witch clan is your most loyal warrior. In the future, you will follow me into battle and create a glory that belongs to you."
Tang Zheng shook his head: "All of you have been trapped here for too long, the outside world is completely different. I am only an ordinary person outside, there is no way to discuss the war."
"No, Lord Envoy is destined to achieve some great things in the future, and we, the Witch clan, will be Lord's most loyal warrior, sweeping away all obstacles for you." the Elder said firmly.
Mu Hongyan could not help but be shocked, this elder's tone was truly too big. Of course, she was even more interested in Tang Zheng's decision. She didn't know what he would do in the future with such a powerful force.
Roar!
Suddenly, a tiger's roar sounded out, and a cage appeared within the plaza. Within the cage was a fierce tiger that was grimacing in pain.
It paced back and forth in the cage, roaring at the people outside, as if it wanted to tear everyone's throats apart.
Mu Hongyan was startled by the tiger's roar, he looked over, and felt the beast nature of the tiger, his heart pounding.
This tiger was definitely not a domesticated tiger from the zoo, but a true mountain king.
The elder said with a smile, "In order to celebrate the arrival of the envoy, we have prepared a program."
When the voice fell, Ah Yuan walked to the main seat, and the elder pointed at Ah Yuan and said: "Sir Envoy, he is a warrior among my people, his name is Ye Yuan, we all call him Ah Yuan, tonight he will perform for you."
Hearing that, Ye Yuan proudly raised his head, and looked at Tang Zheng, his gaze somewhat provocative.
Tang Zheng asked curiously: "What program?"
"Milord, you'll understand at a glance." The clan elder deliberately gave Ye Yuan a mysterious nod, causing Ye Yuan to turn and walk towards the center of the plaza towards the cage.
Everyone's gaze was attracted by him and the crowd cheered. Quite a few people shouted loudly: "Ah Yuan … Ye Yuan, you can do it! "
Ye Yuan walked to the front of the cage and opened the door.
"Whiz!"
The tiger pounced towards Ye Yuan like a tiger, the king's aura that looked down upon the entire world caused one's heart to palpitate.
Ye Yuan stood in front of the cage as if he was about to be bitten by a tiger.
The cheers from the crowd became even more intense, while Mu Hongyan just covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming out loud.
Tang Zheng's eyes were shining with spirit. Although the Witch Clan's people had inborn divine power, he had yet to get a direct feel of their abilities. It was clear that the battle with the fierce tiger was to show him the power of the Witch Clan.
Since the Witch clan recognized him as their messenger and willingly became his warrior, he naturally wouldn't foolishly reject such a large force.
Tang Zheng could not possibly live a peaceful life like an ordinary person, so he had to create his own power. The people from the Chang Heng City would be useful against ordinary people, but against the Martial Sect, that was not enough.
Ye Yuan did not retreat. Seeing that the tiger was about to pounce on him, he pushed off with his toes and rushed out like a cannonball.
Boom! *
Everyone heard a dull sound of impact as Ye Yuan actually grabbed onto the tiger's body and smashed it back into the cage.
Ka-cha! *
The cage was immediately smashed open, revealing a large hole. A man and a tiger rolled out of the hole.
The ferocious tiger roared towards the sky. Ye Yuan was also not willing to fall behind as he let out a low roar, and then, both parties rushed towards each other.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of muffled sounds could be heard. The tiger's body had already been hit multiple times, its bones were all broken.'s chest and back were also scratched and bleeding.
One man and one tiger were both injured, but it was obvious that the tiger's injuries were even worse.
However, this was not the place that caught Tang Zheng's attention. He stared fixedly at Ye Yuan's wound, which was actually not deep at all.
However, Tang Zheng knew that if he were to grab onto ordinary people's bodies, their internal organs would probably be pulled out by the tiger, but Ye Yuan was only injured from the superficial wounds.
What did this mean?
This meant that the strength of the other party's body was beyond his imagination.
Tang Zheng turned to look at the Elder, who seemed to understand the doubt in his heart, and laughed lightly: "My people have a secret technique that can refine the Body Training Stage's Soul, so their bodies are much stronger than ordinary people. Ah Yuan's body has been tempered for more than ten years, and can already be considered as strong and iron, if not for the fact that this tiger is the true king of the forest, it would not be able to injure him to such an extent."
Tang Zheng was deeply shocked, he had already had plans for the to refine body at the beginning, but the Heaven Monk scoffed at him, thinking that it was just a small trick of a martial artist, that a cultivator would choose a master from a thousand miles away, why was he trying so hard to obtain the head of the to refine body?
But after Tang Zheng saw Ye Yuan's powerful body, he became even more determined to obtain the to refine body.
As he spoke, the battle between him and the tiger was nearing its end. All the bones in the tiger's body had been broken, and it could be seen with the naked eye that its body was caving in.
Roar!
Suddenly, Ye Yuan roared, and smashed down with his fist.
Boom! *
The tiger head exploded into pieces, and the king of the forest died in Ye Yuan's hands.
Ye Yuan's body was stained with blood, he looked at Tang Zheng from afar and said loudly: "I would like to seek advice from Master Envoy to see your strength."
Ye Yuan's eyes blazed with fighting spirit, this was an undisguised challenge.
