170 Chapter 170
The Xiongnu totem was a Black Dragon.
They were a group of nomads from the ancient deserts and grasslands. Most of them lived in the Gobi Desert, and the tribes on the grasslands were their elites.
In the war, the Xiongnu people would behead the enemy and receive a cup of wine, and they would give the wine to the enemy, making them their slaves.
It could be seen that the Xiongnu people had the custom of headhunting. Chopping off the heads of their enemies in the war was a symbol of honor, and they could be rewarded by the tribe.
It was precisely this kind of fierce fighting style that caused them to become a major threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After the first emperor of the Zhou Dynasty unified the Central Plains, he ordered Qin Aolu to lead 300,000 troops and a group of Xiantian cultivators to attack the Xiongnu people in the North, overtook Hetao region, and station troops in Shangjun.
The Xiongnu people immediately retreated seven hundred miles and did not dare to herd their horses South.
Qin Aolu had built the fortress, which was located in the North. He had also built a road from Jiuyuan in the North to Yunyang in the South, forming a long line of defense in the North.
Qin Yang had been defending the North for more than ten years, and the Xiongnu people were intimidated by his power and did not dare to attack again.
Since then, the Xiongnu people had been recuperating.
60 years ago, after Tetumtan took the throne, they began to expand.
After he defeated the king of Donghu, swallowed Lou Fan Tribe and the White Sheep King immediately.
They also recovered the counties and prefectures that Qin Aolu had taken from them.
The Dingling, Qushe, Xinli, and other tribes in the North and Northwest had all submitted to the Xiongnu.
After the Xiongnu people became powerful, they started to eye the Great Zhou Dynasty.
From time to time, they would send troops to harass the borders.
In a large tent somewhere in the Xiongnu tribe, three people with extraordinary auras were sitting inside. Although they had restrained their auras, one could still tell that they were extraordinary.
Especially the green-robed man who sat at the very top. His eyes were vaguely surrounded by a red aura, and he had an aura that looked down on the world.
"Jue Lengxin is really trash. He can't even complete My Lord's mission." The green-robed man's tone was filled with disdain.
"It's not that simple. According to the information we have, the seven major sects of the martial arts world in the Central Plains only exist on the surface. There are many saint cultivators among the countless sects that have hidden." The white-robed man said.
In his opinion, although Jue Lengxin was a little useless, he had already become a saint cultivator. If the opponent was not in the same realm, they would not be able to kill him.
The martial arts world of the Central Plains existed many years before the Great Zhou Dynasty, so it was normal for them to have hidden experts.
They were controlling the Xiongnu now to use this opportunity to invade the Central Plains.
This was because the place was rich in resources, had a large population, and hid shocking secrets.
If he could crack the secret, he could even become a saint cultivator.
"Is there any news from Lana?" The green-robed man asked.
"Yes, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty spent his days on their bellies. He didn't even attend morning court recently!" Another man in black said.
"Haha, very good! As expected, even the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty can't escape the art of sexual intercourse!" A man in a white robe placed his hands behind his back and looked into the distance through the tent as if he could already see the Great Zhou Dynasty being pocketed.
"My Lord, the main problem now is how many saint cultivators are there in the martial arts world of the Central Plains, and whether it will affect our plan. Also, God sent us a message a few days ago, asking us to pay attention to a master from the Central Plains!" When the man in black mentioned God, his expression became more and more respectful.
The white-robed man did not speak. Although that God could give them power, he was controlling them in a different way.
If they couldn't get rid of the control in the end, what was the difference between them and puppets?
When he entered the Central Plains and found the secret buried deep within, he would be the one who have the last laugh.
At that time, he could even step on a God!
...
The sun in the blue sky was getting higher, the Jade Dragon was enchanting, the endless green was by the sheep, and the horse was drunk in the blue sky.
After walking in the desert for many days, they finally saw the beautiful grassland.
Cai Lian excitedly ran to the lake and scooped up some water to wash her pretty face.
Even if they weren't affected by the desert environment, their hearts would always be different.
Anyone who walked in the endless yellow sand all day would feel sick of it.
He Chuan's mood also became much better. He released his divine sense to sense the aura around him.
After a long time, he gradually withdrew his divine sense. There was no danger in the surroundings.
When he saw the power left behind by Jue Lengxin and God, he became even more cautious. He was sure that becoming a saint cultivator wasn't the end.
He wasn't invincible, and he still had a lot of room for improvement.
"Fish, fish, don't run!" Cai Lian looked at the fat fish in the lake and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"I'll rest here for the time being. It just so happens that I want to eat Lian'er's grilled fish." He Chuan understood Cai Lian's thoughts very well. He lay on the grass and looked at the clouds in the sky, feeling extremely relaxed.
Cai Lian was immediately overjoyed. She patted the lake twice, and a few lively fish instantly floated on the surface of the lake.
After setting up the bonfire, she happily placed the grilled fish on the fire and continued to roast it.
The sound of horse hooves came closer and closer, heading toward their resting spot.
He Chuan continued to look at the sky. The highest level was only a ninth-stage Xiantian cultivator, so they posed no threat.
"Your Highness, it's Central Plainsmen who is barbecuing. They might be merchants who are here to do business." The scout came back and reported.
Under the golden sun, a sixteen-year-old girl was riding on a huge golden deer. She had a flat duck-egg face, beautiful features, and a pair of big eyes that were like water.
Her skin was fair and soft, her lips were red and petite, and there was a heroic spirit in her eyes. She was wearing a short fur coat made of Marten skin, a red fox shawl on her shoulders, and a hood covering her long hair. She still had a childish air about her, but her smile was full of evil.
It was little princess Lia, the new chief of Tetumtan.
"It's those cunning Central Plainsmen! Let's go and have a look!" Lia squeezed the golden deer's stomach with her legs.
Her followers quickly followed.
This Little Princess was the apple of Chanyu Tetumtan's eye. If anything happened to her, it wouldn't be enough to kill them ten times.
Cai Lian held up the grilled fish and handed one to He Chuan before eating it in big mouthfuls.
"A thief from the Central Plains, how dare you to steal the fish from the Heavenly Sacred Lake!" Lia pointed at He Chuan and Cai Lian as she rode on the Golden Deer.
This was nothing. The Heavenly Sacred Lake was the water source that the Xiongnu Tribe relied on for survival, but catching a few fish was not a big deal, and no one would care.
"It taste so good!" Cai Lian didn't even raise her head as she continued to gnaw on the grilled fish in her hands.
Being ignored made Lia quite angry. As the treasure of Tetumtan, she had never been defeated.
"Hurry up and capture them, then roll them up and spank their butts!" Lia was kind-hearted and did not shout to kill, and the punishment was only a spanking.
This was because her biggest punishment when she was young was to be spanked by her mother.
However, Lia's followers were not so kind. They drew their weapons and attacked Cai Lian and He Chuan.
He Chuan extended his right palm and made a sucking void at Lia, who was on the Golden Deer.
