Chapter 761: Returning to the Tribe

“Daddy, these people who came from somewhere else are getting more and more absurd. We’ve been watching that Typhoon Tree on Howling Wind Mountain for 30 years. It bore fruit only two days ago, and those people stole half of it!” said a young man in agitation to a man wearing a white headcloth.

“Yes.” The man in the white headcloth narrowed his eyes, falling into silence. His strong stature made him look like a fierce leopard.

“Daddy, are we just going to—”

“Shh.” Gu Zha put his index finger to his son’s lips, shaking his head slightly. “Speak cautiously, act cautiously.”

“Daddy! The uncles in the tribe only listen to you. That new king is using our tribe’s resources to develop his own tribes, like a bunch of leeches!”

“Gu Duo, you must control your temper.” Gu Zha shook his head, growing quiet as he looked out the window.

“Daddy…” Gu Duo looked at his father in despair. He didn’t understand why.

Why wouldn’t his father stand out and speak? Why wouldn’t his father lead? Many people in the tribe were complaining.

“We are all from the human race. What’s the loss in helping them?” Gu Zha shook his head. There were too many short-sighted people in the tribe. Of course, this wasn’t their fault, since they had all lived mediocre lives since birth, so they only needed to see what was in front of them.

“But… we can’t just let those newcomers ruin the tribe.” Gu Zha thought in silence. It wasn’t that he didn’t see what had been happening recently, but as a fanatic who wanted to lead the human race towards a renaissance, he knew this development had more disadvantages than advantages.

Currently, the Li Tribe was like a stagnant pond; only through moderate controlled competition could this stagnant pond begin moving again. Only then can the human tribes radiate a new vitality!

“His Majesty is back!” In the sky outside, a large blue-winged bird with a kangaroo-like pocket on its belly flew by, loud human speech coming out of its mouth. “His Majesty is back!!”

“He’s back.” Gu Duo was stunned.

Gu Zha’s eyes twinkled as he patted Gu Duo on the shoulder. “Let’s go see His Majesty.”

“But…”

“No buts! He’s the king of our Li Tribe now, a king who received the unanimous vote of all Saint-tier elders!” Gu Zha said with dignity.

“Okay… Understood.”

They arrived at the palace in the center of the tribe, where many tribal officials had already gathered after hearing the news. Many were exclaiming at the arrival of the newcomers.

“Elder Gu Zha is here.”

“I heard His Majesty is back?”

“His Majesty just returned, haha.”

In the palace, listening to the conversation outside, Gao Peng turned around. From the second floor windowsill, he saw a robust man in the crowd below.

It looked like… Gu Zha?

He had left an impression on Gao Peng because Gu Zha’s strength was among the top five of all the Li Tribe’s elders. He was old, powerful, and had a high reputation. He also had a familiar that could divinate. It could tell if something was auspicious or not, which was very rare. He was one of the tribe’s twelve elders.

After a while, the front door of the palace opened. The elders swarmed in like a school of fish.

In the lobby of the palace, Gao Peng sat on a chair. A 16-foot tall Hell’s Three-Headed Dog laid before him. Even though it laid on the ground, it was much taller than Gao Peng.

The Hell’s Three-Headed Dog’s heads all opened their eyes wide and looked at Gao Peng with fawning gazes. Their tongues hung out, and a strong sulfuric smell came out of their mouths, filling the air in the palace.

Gu Zha took a step forward and said softly, “King, I have something to report.”

“Go ahead.” The meat in his hand had been licked clean by the Three-Headed Dog. Gao Peng turned his head.

“A year ago, the Huaxia Tribe, White Dragon Tribe, Green God Tribe, and Youhu Tribe all migrated here. With the number of migrants increasing over the course of the year, there have been many conflicts. Some people even use the tribe’s public resources in your name.”

The other elders all stared at him in shock. They hadn’t expected Gu Zha to be so direct, saying these things in front of His Majesty and not fearing he would become angry.

After a brief moment of silence, Gao Peng said, “Do what you need to do to take care of it. You don’t have to consider my feelings.”

“Understood!” Gu Zha bowed with his hands folded into fists.

After they discussed other topics with the rest of the elders, the elders gradually left. When the last elder exited the palace, Gao Peng exhaled.

Many things had happened over the year.

The most obvious change was that the four tribes were set up dozens of miles away from the Li Tribe. They were the divisions of the Huaxia Tribe, White Dragon Tribe, Youhu Tribe, and Green God Tribe. Gao Peng had previously told the Li Tribe officials to look after the other four tribes at first, but this order was distorted as time passed.

It became a way for the four tribes to do dishonorable things using Gao Peng’s name. Since he had found out… then Gao Peng definitely had to take care of it.

“Listen up! Gao Peng is my distant cousin. We don’t want this entire corpse; just give us the monster core crystal!” An arrogant voice resounded throughout the mountain.

“Our great king wouldn’t have such a shameless relative as you!” said a young man on the side through gritted teeth.

“Hmph, why not? Look, here’s a picture of me with your king. This was when he was eight. He used to be a brat back then, so I had to take him to an internet cafe.” Ji Fang sneered, taking a photo out of his pocket to wave before these fools.

He found this photo to be incredibly useful. No, it was his cousin Gao Peng’s reputation that was super useful. He could collect so much treasure without any effort.

“What are you saying?” A cold voice came from above.

Ji Fang raised his head. Since the sunlight was dazzling, he could only squint to see a giant black shadow.

A man sat on the back of the black shadow. Ji Fang thought, “Could it be…?” He was somewhat surprised.

He didn’t get a chance to say anything when a cold reproach drowned out his thoughts. “Take them away!”

Ji Fang’s experiences over the past few months had made him somewhat arrogant, but he wasn’t stupid. He recognized the voice as Gao Peng’s. Everything he had now, he had obtained with his cousin’s reputation. He didn’t dare to stir up anything when Gao Peng was there in person.

In the following few days, Gao Peng’s strict and effective executions awed everyone.

Everyone who has profited using Gao Peng’s name had to return all the materials they had swindled to the original owner. If they could not, then they had to repay using items of equal value or write an IOU with high interest, and that was only the most basic of requirements.

Aside from that, Gao Peng punished many monster trainers, regardless of his relationship with them. If they did something wrong, they were punished.

The whole time, Gao Peng only sent out Silly, who easily suppressed every monster trainer. No one could pull any tricks in front of a Space-type Quasi God.

Although Silly was very adorable, it was a true Space Quasi God.

On the other hand, in the palace, Gao Peng asked with shock, “None of you want this Devil-Thorn Storm-Off characteristic?”

Goldie shook its head frantically. It couldn’t imagine what it would look like with spikes on its back and five tails. That was practically a nightmare

“Ugly!” Da Zi wrinkled its nose in distaste. Strength was only temporary, but beauty was permanent.

“Doesn’t suit me.” Dumby shook its head. It already had the Eye of Vanity characteristic, so it wasn’t particularly interested in this one.

“I mean, other people fight for this special characteristic, yet you guys despise it.” Gao Peng was getting a headache. Suddenly, he saw a certain three-headed lap dog lying in the corner.

Gao Peng’s expression shifted.

Sahara, who was lying in the corner, didn’t notice anything. It just observed its surroundings excitedly with its tongues hanging out. Every now and then it bit one of its heads.
