The Qiyue Hall was littered with corpses and blood. Nearly thirty or forty people had fallen to the ground. This most important place in the Dayue tribe was now like a battlefield. When Yan Liqiang and Salina arrived, the battle was still going on.
The fighters were clearly divided into two sides, one was attacking, the other was defending. There were fewer attackers and more defenders, but the strength of the two sides was very different. The side with fewer people beat the side with more people and forced them to retreat step by step. They kept retreating to a high platform in the Qiyue Hall. The corpses and blood covered the steps of the high platform...
Without Serena saying anything, Yan Liqiang only needed to take a glance down and it was clear who was the enemy and who was the friend.
The largest group of people, those who were being beaten back step by step, were from the Dayue tribe, while the smaller group were the Shatu people. Among those Shatu people, there was one person who was very dazzling in the hall and was very powerful. That Shatu man had a bald head, a wolf head tattoo on his face, a strong physique, and a pair of strange scimitars in his hands. His figure was strange and erratic, and the scimitar in his hand was like a desert gale, which directly swept the five masters of the Dayue tribe who were besieging him into the sword light.
Even though he was besieged by five masters of the Dayue tribe at the same time, the strong man Shatu still had the upper hand. With one move, he overwhelmed the five masters of the Dayue tribe who were besieging him, and they were still outnumbered by defenders.
On the other side, a man in gray-white Dayue tribal costume was leading more than a dozen Shatu people to fight with the remaining forty-odd Dayue tribal warriors in the hall. Although the number of those Shatu people was not large, it was obvious that each of them was an elite. The Dayue tribal warriors were obviously no match for these Shatu warriors.
The door of the Qiyue Hall was locked tightly from the inside. Yan Liqiang heard shouting and knocking sounds outside, but was unable to open the door of the hall.
There was a woman in a purple robe standing on the high platform, holding a golden cane with a full moon and a black moon intersecting on it in her hand, staring at the Shatu people who were approaching her step by step. The woman was protected by several warriors of the Dayue tribe. Just by taking a quick look at the woman, Yan Liqiang knew that the woman was the leader of the Dayue tribe and the mother of Serena, because the woman looked so much like Serena, and was very young, appearing to be only in her thirties. If she stood with Serena, she would look more like Serena's sister.
As for the identities of those other people, Yan Liqiang didn't need to ask. He just used the Mind Snake to sense the thoughts in Salina's mind and he understood it all at once.
The one who was leading a group of Shatu warriors to fight with the warriors of the Dayue tribe in the hall was none other than the elder Gezong of the Dayue tribe whom Yan Liqiang had suspected yesterday. Now it seemed that the elder Gezong was indeed a traitor.
Salina had never seen the strongest Shatu warrior with a bald head and a wolf head tattoo on his face, so she didn't know who he was. The other five people who besieged the Shatu warrior were the other five elders of the Dayue tribe.
There was also an elder of the Dayue tribe who had already fallen to the ground, his head and body torn apart, blood all over the ground, and no sound.
There is no doubt that the Dayue tribe has reached the most critical moment...
"Brother Long..." Seeing what was happening in the hall, Salina's hands had turned cold at this moment. She tightly grasped Yan Liqiang's hand. Her whole body and voice were trembling. She was terrified and helpless. "Elder Gezong has brought the Shatu people here..."
"I already know who is the enemy and who is the friend. You stay here and don't move. Leave the rest to me. By the way, where is the exit..." Yan Liqiang squinted his eyes and glanced at the Shatu warrior who was holding two swords below, then gently patted Salina's hand to reassure her.
"Go down here to the passage on the left, open the door below, and enter the prayer room. There is a door in the prayer room, and outside is the main hall..."
"Okay, remember my words, come out when it's safe down there!"
"Okay, Brother Long, Serena will listen to you..."
Seeing that Salina was obedient, Yan Liqiang said no more, holding the iron spear in his hand, he ran down the stairs of the air vent...
…
Just when Yan Liqiang had just left Salina's side, the situation of the battle in the hall below suddenly changed. Amid the strange laughter of the Shatu strongman, the sword light in the right hand of the Shatu strongman holding two swords suddenly became brighter, and the sword light in his left hand suddenly became invisible. The five elders of the Dayue tribe who were besieging him were instantly caught in his bright sword light. Under the changes of the sword light, the five elders of the Dayue tribe felt that something was wrong...
"Be careful..." an elder of the Dayue tribe shouted, but it was too late...
Amidst the whistling and blasting sounds like the cold wind, the five Shatu elders who were caught in the blade light flew backwards with a bang, spitting blood. Instantly, a blade mark appeared on each elder's body, and blood spurted out. One of the elders' arms was left on the ground...
The strong man Shatu took advantage of the victory and pursued him. With a flash of sword light, he chopped directly at the elder of the Great Moon Tribe who was closest to him...
"Stop..." Salina's mother, who was standing on the high platform, shouted, trying to stop it, but unfortunately, as soon as the word "stop" fell, the sword of the Shatu strongman had already passed through the body of the Dayue tribe elder. The body of the Dayue tribe elder was instantly cut in half from the middle and scattered on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, only four of the five elders of the Dayue tribe were left. All of them were injured, and one of them had a broken hand and lost more than half of his fighting power. At this point, the battle in the Qiyue Hall seemed to have no suspense...
Salina's mother lowered her eyes and looked at the Moon Goddess's staff in her hand, which represented the authority of the Great Moon Tribe, with sad eyes. Is this the fate of the Great Moon Tribe
Elder Ge Zong thrust his sword into the chest of a warrior from the Great Moon Tribe. Just as the Great Moon Tribe warrior was glaring at him with bloodshot eyes and was about to chop him with his knife, he kicked the Great Moon Tribe warrior away, and the sword left the Great Moon Tribe warrior's chest. The blood gushed out of the Great Moon Tribe warrior's chest, spraying all over his face and staining his gray-white robe red...
Several injured elders and the remaining warriors of the Great Moon Tribe all retreated to the top of the platform at this time, surrounding Serena's mother, each with a look of grief, anger and despair...
Elder Ge Zong and the strong Shatu man, after looking at each other, led the Shatu warriors, holding bloody weapons, and finally approached the platform.
"Hahaha..." Elder Ge Zong laughed wildly, looking at Salina's mother who was surrounded and protected by a group of people, with a smug look on his face, "Chief Lan Qi, what do you think? I told you to listen to me earlier. There would be no need to make a fuss today and let so many people die here..."
“Ge Zong, you are a traitor and a disgrace to the Dayue tribe. I will not let you go even if I become a ghost…” The elder of the Dayue tribe with a broken hand shouted at Elder Ge Zong.
"Bayinda, you don't have to shout here. Don't worry, after you die, I will take good care of your wife and daughters for you!" Gezong sneered at the elder of the Dayue tribe who had a broken arm, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
"Ge Zong, you haven't won the final victory yet!" Salina's mother said coldly, "I admit that everything you planned today was indeed beyond the expectations of all of us. You are very smart. None of us expected that a respected elder of the Great Moon Tribe would give up being a good elder and actually degenerate into a lowly dog that is despised and spit on, turning to the enemy, betraying and biting your own people, and pointing the knife in your hand at your compatriots. In this regard, you succeeded, refreshed the bottom line of shame, and did what none of us could do, but don't forget that there are more than 5,000 warriors of the Great Moon Tribe outside the hall. Our Great Moon Tribe may be weak, but we have never lacked the courage and bloodiness to die with the enemy. If the Moon God wants our Great Moon Tribe to perish here today, it is also God's will. The reason why I asked you to stop is not to imagine you surrender, but to hear your conditions..."
