These wolf packs were of various types, but the most eye-catching were the Vermillion Flame Wolves, whose bodies were engulfed in raging flames. Wherever they passed, the ground was quickly covered by fire, forming a blazing sea of flames.
In stark contrast to the Vermillion Flame Wolves were the Night Wolves, whose bodies were as black as ink. They were numerous, densely packed together, making it difficult to distinguish one from another, like a black ocean.
And the Wind Wolves, coming and going like the wind, darted through the crowd like lightning. Their speed was extremely fast, like sharp daggers, wantonly charging through the masses.
The master of these wolf packs, the Wolf King Chang Shan Yin, was seated on a massive Night Wolf Emperor. This Night Wolf Emperor's body was enormous, like a moving small mountain, exuding a powerful aura.
Chang Shan Yin was clad in wolf skin, his face stern, and his gaze, like that of an eagle, overlooked the people below.
"It's the Wolf King Chang Shan Yin!"
"He actually controls a Night Wolf Emperor!"
A gasp of surprise immediately rose from the crowd.
It should be known that a Beast Emperor's strength is equivalent to a Fifth Rank Gu Master, and Servitude Path Gu Masters are inherently skilled in group combat. Chang Shan Yin's arrival undoubtedly brought a new variable to this fierce battle and attracted high attention from both sides.
Just then, people suddenly saw the Wolf King Chang Shan Yin, riding the Night Wolf Emperor, appear like a ghost beside Hei Lou Lan. The Wolf King Chang Shan Yin, with a somber expression, said to Hei Lou Lan, "Alliance Leader Hei Lou Lan, my purpose in coming out this time is to seek revenge. What do you think, can we join forces?"
Upon hearing this, Hei Lou Lan's face showed pleasant surprise. He quickly bowed in salute, responding with extreme respect, "I have long admired the Wolf King's great name. To meet him today is truly a blessing. To be able to join forces with the Wolf King, that would naturally be for the best."
It should be known that an Servitude Path practitioner who possesses a Beast Emperor is absolutely considered to have Fifth Rank combat power. This gave the Wolf King the qualification to be on equal footing with Hei Lou Lan.
However, this action greatly frightened Water Demon Hao Jiliu. He knew the Wolf King Chang Shan Yin's prowess well. Even without a Beast Emperor's assistance, Chang Shan Yin had nearly killed him. How could the Wolf King, now even stronger than before, be someone he could contend with? Thinking of this, Water Demon Hao Jiliu dared not hesitate in the slightest. He quickly knelt on both knees, kowtowed to the Wolf King Chang Shan Yin, and said in a trembling voice, "This defeated subordinate greets Lord Wolf King Chang Shan Yin. I hope Lord will not bother with a small person like me."
Seeing this, the Wolf King Chang Shan Yin merely waved his hand casually, seemingly unconcerned by Water Demon Hao Jiliu's actions, and said offhandedly, "No matter."
Upon hearing this, a huge weight finally lifted from Water Demon Hao Jiliu's heart, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
With the Wolf King Chang Shan Yin's addition, the Hei Tribe's strength instantly greatly increased. Seeing this, the Liu Family naturally did not want to fight to the death with the Hei Family in this place.
After all, other tribes were now eyeing them covetously, and a slight misstep could lead them into an abyss of no return. Thus, the two groups, with a tacit understanding, peacefully separated, and a potentially fierce conflict was temporarily quelled.
After the Wolf King Chang Shan Yin joined, the Hei Tribe's strength was greatly enhanced, like a tiger gaining wings. The tens of thousands of wolf packs led by Chang Shan Yin became a powerful aid to the Hei Tribe. These wolf packs were incredibly fierce and worked together tacitly, making the Hei Tribe invincible in battle.
Many small tribes, after witnessing the formidable strength of the Hei Tribe and the wolf packs, expressed their willingness to submit and join the Hei Family's camp. They knew that in the face of such powerful force, resistance was futile.
To enable the Wolf King Chang Shan Yin to better exercise his leadership, Hei Lou Lan decisively ordered the allied tribes under his command to fully assist Chang Shan Yin in rounding up wolf packs. After a period of effort, the number of wolf packs rapidly increased, quickly breaking through three hundred thousand.
These three hundred thousand wolf packs, under Chang Shan Yin's command, were like a well-trained army, striking fear into the hearts of their enemies.
"Reporting to Lord Pan Ping, the Chen and Chu tribes have discovered an injured Fin Wolf, an exotic beast. This exotic beast is extremely fierce, and we fear it will be difficult for us to subdue it. Alliance Leader Hei Lou Lan, upon hearing of this, specifically ordered his subordinate to come and humbly request Lord Pan Ping's assistance to capture this exotic Fin Wolf."
The speaker was a Gu Master. He rushed into Liu Chen's tent, knelt on one knee, and held Hei Lou Lan's order and token high above his head with both hands, presenting them to Liu Chen.
Seeing this, Liu Chen quickly rose, took the token, and examined it carefully. This token was a black medallion engraved with Hei Lou Lan's symbol, clearly issued personally by the Alliance Leader.
So, he responded without hesitation, "Oh, I understand. Since it is the Alliance Leader's order, I shall depart now."
With that, Liu Chen put the token into his bosom, turned, and walked out of the tent. He mounted his horse, cracked his whip, and the swift horse galloped away like an arrow released from a bow, raising a cloud of dust. Liu Chen's figure quickly disappeared into the distance, speeding towards the rescue location given in the intelligence.
"Haha, it's just as I expected!" Liu Chen's lips curled slightly as he mused to himself.
He rode his horse, slowly advancing, constantly recalling this plotline in his mind.
These past few days, he had gone to great lengths to befriend various tribes, and he didn't expect that at a crucial moment, they would actually remember him. All this effort was not in vain.
He was all too familiar with the upcoming plot. The Dongfang Family had invited the Shadow Assassin Bian Sixuan, attempting to assassinate Fang Yuan. However, Fang Yuan was exceptionally cautious and successfully evaded Bian Sixuan's assassination. Not only that, Fang Yuan also obtained a clue to a Thieving Heaven Legacy from Bian Sixuan.
And now, Liu Chen's target was precisely that Thieving Heaven Legacy. Regardless, the Thieving Heaven Legacy was an extremely precious treasure, and he naturally would not give it up easily.
Thus, Liu Chen began to plan. He first befriended the Clan Chiefs of various families, hoping to gain their support at a critical moment. It now seemed that this move was very wise, and it indeed came in handy when needed.
While Liu Chen was contemplating, he suddenly noticed a group of people not far ahead surrounding a huge exotic beast. This exotic beast was elephant-sized, with a pair of large fin-like wings growing on its back, precisely the legendary Fin Wolf.
Liu Chen's heart stirred. He knew that among the many exotic wolf beasts, the Fin Wolf's defense ranked among the top three, making it one of the most suitable exotic beasts for an Servitude Path Gu Master.
It was also deliberately chosen by the Dongfang Tribe to lure the Wolf King Chang Shan Yin closer. Even the Shadow Swordsman Bian Sixuan was currently hidden within the shadow of this exotic Fin Wolf, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
