The return of Bai Ling, the High Priestess, caught the attention of all the Lizardmen in the Black Mountain tribe.
At this moment, the area outside the chieftain's wooden house was teeming with people.
The chieftain's wooden house stood like an isolated island amidst a sea of people.
The icy mist emanating from the chieftain's wooden house sparked murmurs among the Lizardmen outside.
Before long, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a white figure emerged from the door.
"It's the High Priestess!"
"It really is the High Priestess!"
"The High Priestess has returned!"
The snow-white figure confirmed Bai Ling, the High Priestess's identity to the Lizardmen.
Because only the High Priestess's lineage had bodies as white as snow.
For a moment, the crowd outside was in an uproar!
When they saw what the High Priestess held in her hand, the expressions of the Lizardmen outside changed again.
"It's the chieftain, it's the chieftain!"
"It's the chieftain's head!"
Terrified screams erupted from the crowd.
The Lizardmen warriors of the Black Mountain tribe, who were standing guard outside, were also at a loss.
Facing the sea of tribespeople outside, Bai Ling expressionlessly raised Scarface's head high.
"I am Bai Ling, the sole survivor of the High Priestess's lineage. I will save you, I won't let you starve or be slaughtered again. You have the freedom to choose whether to follow me or continue to follow the Elder Council!"
At this moment, the Lizardmen warriors of the Black Mountain tribe outside reacted.
They realized what had happened inside the wooden house.
Hundreds of Black Mountain tribe warriors surrounded them.
The elders of the Yue Clan hurriedly emerged from the wooden house.
The Lizardmen warriors of the Yue Clan quickly formed a defensive line outside.
Both sides faced off outside the chieftain's wooden house.
"We can't let the Elder Council continue to persecute the High Priestess!"
"Don't harm the High Priestess!"
"We can't let them harm the High Priestess!"
The crowd outside was emotionally charged.
They had had enough of the Elder Council's rule.
They believed more in the High Priestess's ability to bring them a better life.
The surging crowd prompted the Black Mountain tribe's Lizardmen warriors to shout loudly.
But the crowd remained unmoved, advancing step by step.
Some Lizardmen warriors showed a fierce expression.
Holding stone machetes, they were about to charge forward.
"Shan Ben, what are you doing? Come back!"
Shan Ben remained unmoved, raising his stone machete high.
"Anyone who dares to step forward, I'll kill them. The Black Mountain tribe's rulers are the Elder Council, not some High Priestess!"
Facing the fierce Shan Ben, the approaching Lizardmen civilians showed fear.
A frail Lizardman roared.
Though fear was in its eyes, there was more determination.
It suddenly charged forward, crashing into Shan Ben.
Unfortunately, it was too weak.
Even with all its strength, it only managed to push Shan Ben back a few steps.
The furious Shan Ben punched the back of the Lizardman civilian's head.
The Lizardman civilian immediately collapsed to the ground.
"You piece of trash only fit to live in a cesspit!"
The enraged Shan Ben kicked and cursed the Lizardman civilian.
The crowd watching this scene fell into a deathly silence.
Seeing the crowd's atmosphere turning tense, the Lizardmen warriors behind Shan Ben tried to stop him.
But Shan Ben, in his rage, remained unmoved.
His kicks became even more forceful.
A Lizardman civilian shouted and charged at Shan Ben.
It lunged, crashing into Shan Ben.
Shan Ben staggered back repeatedly.
"You bastard, courting death!"
Shan Ben glared angrily.
He raised his stone machete and swung it at the Lizardman civilian.
At that moment, the crowd erupted in angry roars.
One Lizardman civilian after another rushed out.
They angrily pounced on Shan Ben.
Just as Shan Ben raised his machete, he was tackled to the ground.
Several Lizardmen pinned Shan Ben down.
They pounded his head with their fists.
Shan Ben was soon beaten bloody and mangled.
"What are you doing, back off!"
Seeing this, his companions rushed forward to stop them.
At that moment, a voice roared from the crowd.
Another roar followed.
In that instant, the cries of battle echoed through the heavens and earth.
The Lizardman civilians on the outskirts angrily charged at the Lizardman warriors.
A dark wave of people instantly overwhelmed the Lizardman warriors on the outskirts.
"Exterminate the Elder Council, bring back the High Priestess!"
The Lizardman civilians shouted loudly.
Their momentum grew stronger and stronger.
The overwhelming shouts let the Lizardman civilians on the outskirts know what was happening.
The civilians, already dissatisfied with the Elder Council, ignited the fire in their hearts.
The angry yet frail Lizardman civilians flocked in groups.
They rushed into the tall and spacious wooden houses.
They vented their anger at the Elder Council on the Lizardmen associated with the elders.
"Food, so much food!"
When the Lizardman civilians rushed into those tall wooden houses, they found them filled with various foods.
This made the Lizardman civilians even angrier.
They were starving, while the elders were enjoying endless delicacies.
For a moment, the Ancestral Tribe was in an uproar.
All the upper-class Lizardmen became targets for the civilians' purge.
The once high and mighty upper-class Lizardmen were dragged out of the wooden houses by the angry civilians.
In the excited eyes of thousands of Lizardman civilians, they were executed.
The thick scent of blood quickly spread throughout the Ancestral Tribe.
And Bai Ling, standing at the chieftain's door, watched coldly.
"Chieftain, should we stop them?"
Behind Bai Ling, Black Scale felt a bit uneasy.
If the chieftain spoke up, it would surely calm the out-of-control Lizardman civilians.
Bai Ling listened expressionlessly to the roars and screams from all directions.
"No need, better a short pain than a long one. The Elder Council must be completely eradicated!"
Bai Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, filled with murderous intent.
No one understood the nature of the Elder Council better than Bai Ling.
If the Elder Council wasn't removed, the Black Mountain tribe wouldn't willingly submit to the leader.
Even if they submitted, it would only be temporary.
Rather than waiting for the Black Mountain tribe to rebel and be slaughtered by the leader, it was better to eradicate the Elder Council now. Follow current novels on novel⦿fire.net
In this way, the Yue Clan could merge with the Black Mountain tribe.
And it could lead the swamp Lizardmen to grow and prosper.
With the fishing tools taught by the leader, the swamp Lizardmen would no longer go hungry.
As long as food was plentiful, the population would surge.
One day, the swamp Lizardmen could also become a major tribe.
Meanwhile, in the southern waters.
Standing on the ice, Li Meng gazed in the direction of the Black Mountain tribe.
Though it was a bit far, Li Meng could hear the clamor of the Black Mountain tribe.
"It seems Bai Ling succeeded!"
Li Meng grinned, sitting leisurely on the ice.
Now, it was just a matter of patiently waiting.
