Chapter 49: The Struggle Among the Witch Clans and the Subtle “Hostile” Relationship
“Your Excellency, please enjoy.”
The High Priest respectfully left the room, and in front of Chen Changsheng lay many unknown meats, along with some fresh Spirit Fruits.
Looking at the food, Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly and then used his Spiritual Sense to speak to the woman beside him.
“I can’t eat all this by myself. Why don’t you come and have some?”
Hearing this, the woman quickly shook her head and started babbling in her own language.
Although he couldn’t understand her words, Chen Changsheng roughly guessed what she meant.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng laughed and said, “Since you’re not eating, how about you teach me the language here?”
“I can’t really understand your language.”
In response to Chen Changsheng’s request, the woman nodded happily.
Then she began to teach Chen Changsheng the language of this place.
……
The long night soon passed, and after a night of learning, Chen Changsheng could finally barely understand the language spoken here.
At the same time, he learned about the situation from the woman.
This place didn’t have a specific name; the most specific title was simply “Ten Thousand Great Mountains.”
As for how vast this mountain range was, there had never been a definitive conclusion from ancient times, as no one had ever fully explored this great mountain.
Moreover, the cultivation system here was quite interesting; this place did not cultivate the body or internal energy but specialized in insectoid magic.
The insectoid magic here had various applications; it could k*ll enemies or save people.
However, the specialization in insectoid magic had a fatal flaw: it could not effectively enhance one’s Spiritual Sense.
Chen Changsheng didn’t like to cultivate the body, but he enjoyed studying Array Formations.
However, Array Formation research often required the use of Spiritual Sense.
After prolonged training, Chen Changsheng’s Spiritual Sense, even at the Infant Stage, was stronger than some at the Spirit Master level.
It was for this reason that the High Priest treated Chen Changsheng with such respect.
“Alright, that’s enough for now. A-Man, you should go back and rest.”
Looking at the sky outside, which was beginning to glow white, Chen Changsheng suggested that the somewhat tired White Witch girl return to rest.
Upon hearing this, A-Man obediently stood up to leave.
However, halfway out, A-Man suddenly knelt down and said urgently, “Your Excellency, please save the White Witch Clan.”
“If this continues, our White Witches will be forced to d*ath by those Black Witches.”
Hearing A-Man’s plea, the helplessness on Chen Changsheng’s face was evident.
He didn’t want to involve himself in the struggles between races.
With so many killings in the world, if everyone were to intervene, he would never manage to keep up.
Furthermore, besides the conflict between the White Witches and Black Witches, there was another issue at hand—repairing the Tri-Color Teleportation Array.
Looking at the altar, it was indeed a part of the Bronze Ancient Palace.
To be precise, the altar was merely the base of the Bronze Ancient Palace, and the shell on top had long since vanished.
To repair the Tri-Color Teleportation Array, many materials were necessary, among which the most crucial was the metal that made up the Bronze Ancient Palace.
As the indigenous people of this place, the White Witches understood it best.
Without their help, where would he find the missing Bronze Ancient Palace?
However, to get their assistance, he would first need to help them; otherwise, they would most likely not help him at all.
With this in mind, Chen Changsheng spoke up.
“I don’t know much about your issues with the Black Witches, but I can mediate for you.”
“As for whether it will be effective, that depends on fate; I can’t guarantee anything.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s response, A-Man immediately thanked him happily and ran out of the room.
Looking at A-Man’s retreating figure, Chen Changsheng shook his head with a smile.
“These people are truly simple-hearted. If it were some other place, I’d probably have been caught and studied by now.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng resumed familiarizing himself with the language of the White Witches while contemplating how to mediate the conflict between the two clans.
—
“Your Excellency, ahead is the stronghold of the Black Witches.”
The High Priest pointed at a distant village with excitement, as if a child were reporting to a parent.
Seeing the Black Witch stronghold in the distance, Chen Changsheng slightly furrowed his brow.
The White Witch and Black Witch strongholds were not far apart, roughly only two to three miles apart.
Given such a close distance, it seemed somewhat illogical.
From the current situation, the animosity between the two clans was not simple; why had they not engaged in conflict despite being so close?
As Chen Changsheng pondered the reason for this, the High Priest shouted towards the Black Witch guards in the distance.
“Go and summon your clan leader! Tell them that Your Excellency has arrived.”
In response to the High Priest’s command, two Tù Huǔ guards from the Black Witch clan obediently went to call for someone.
Chen Changsheng: ???
What is happening here?
You’re on enemy territory; your tone doesn’t seem appropriate.
Moreover, why would the Black Witches listen to you so readily? Are you trying to trick me with a story?
Before Chen Changsheng could sort it out, the Black Witches emerged in droves.
Leading them was a tanned, robust man.
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s unusual attire, the tanned man hesitated for a moment and then used his Spiritual Sense to probe Chen Changsheng.
In response to this “weak” probing, Chen Changsheng simply countered lightly with his Spiritual Sense.
“Poof!”
Chen Changsheng’s counterattack immediately caused the tanned man to spit out bl**d.
Upon seeing their leader harmed, the Black Witches quickly summoned countless toxic insects to surround Chen Changsheng.
Surrounded by the insects, Chen Changsheng was left utterly speechless.
Because the High Priest did not seem to have aimed at anyone else; it was only him who was targeted.
Chen Changsheng: “……”
This is a bit excessive; you two clans should be hostile. Why are you only targeting me?
Also, I just used a tiny bit of Spiritual Sense; why did he spit bl**d?
This person appears to be your leader; it makes no sense for him to be this weak.
Don’t tell me you’re trying to pull a fast one on me.
Just as Chen Changsheng contemplated whether to eliminate everyone and leave this place, the tanned man stood up and shouted.
“Put away the insects! Do not be disrespectful to Your Excellency!”
After halting his clan’s actions, the tanned man spoke respectfully.
“I just offended Your Excellency; I hope for your forgiveness.”
“Our Black Witch Clan has no hostility towards Your Excellency whatsoever…”
“Wait a moment!”
Chen Changsheng immediately interrupted the tanned man’s speech.
“Why are you so certain that I am Your Excellency?”
“Because the High Priest said you are Your Excellency, and Your Excellency just proved your identity.”
“But as far as I know, the Black Witches and White Witches should be hostile, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then do you trust what he said?”
“I do.”
Chen Changsheng: “……”
This logic seems somewhat off!
Your situation really leaves me a bit bewildered.
