Beside the altar of the Vine Tribe, Di Gu was tied up with rope, kneeling on the ground, guarded by two Warriors.

Di Gu was trembling all over with fear, even an unknown liquid came out from him, which made the Warriors guarding him feel disgusted and even disdainful.

Almost all the members of the Vine Tribe had gathered, some knew the situation, some didn’t, they pointed and discussed, looking at Di Gu.

Once everyone had arrived, Jiang Xuan pressed his hands down lightly, and the Vine Tribe members hushed, all eyes on Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan stood before the altar, Chi Shao beside him, both with very serious expressions.

"Today, something very vile happened in the trading area!"

"Di Gu, used the power granted to him by the tribe to manage the tool shop, demanding benefits from those who came to trade, and then selling weapons and tools at low prices."

"Di Gu’s actions have severely harmed the interests and reputation of the tribe, and his crime is unforgivable!"

Jiang Xuan’s sharp gaze swept across all the Vine Tribe members: "I know, the tribe has grown larger and wealthier than before, some people, having enough to eat every day, start to have other thoughts, wanting more!"

"But I want to tell you, if you want more, you must give more, and only what you strive for is truly yours!"

"If anyone wants to take from the tribe without giving, they will pay the price!"

"Now, let the Witch announce the verdict on Di Gu’s corruption and bribery!"

Jiang Xuan turned to look at Chi Shao, Chi Shao nodded and stepped forward slightly.

"With the Vine God as witness, I announce, from today onward, Di Gu’s power to manage the tool shop is revoked, his strength as a Tribal Warrior is stripped, his identity as a member of the Vine Tribe is cancelled, and he is sent to the west of the tribe to reclaim land!"

After Chi Shao finished speaking, he turned and bowed toward the altar.

After hearing the verdict, Di Gu collapsed in fright.

To strip a Warrior of their strength and cancel their identity as a member of the Vine Tribe is worse than death for the people of the tribe.

Moreover, to be sent to the west of the tribe to reclaim land is practically a fate worse than death.

Others didn’t know, but Di Gu knew a bit, the so-called reclaiming land in the west was just a cover, in reality, it was being sent to mine.

Stripped of a Warrior’s strength and then sent to mine, could he ever come back?

Thinking of this, Di Gu’s trembling intensified.

At this moment, a bright green vine quickly extended down from Stone Mountain, finally wrapping around Di Gu.

Amid Di Gu’s terrified screams, the green vine pierced his skin, beginning to extract the strength belonging to a Warrior.

This was an excruciating and torturous process, just hearing the screams was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

Among the crowd, there were some greedy ones who had taken things from the tribe, or had thoughts of embezzlement, seeing Di Gu’s fate, they broke into a cold sweat and quickly dismissed the idea of taking advantage of the tribe.

After the green vine had finished extracting the Warrior’s strength from within Di Gu, it immediately retracted back onto Stone Mountain.

Di Gu had already fainted, and after the vine left, he lay on the ground like a puddle of mud.

Jiang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Take him away, send him to the west to reclaim land!"

The Guard Team Warriors immediately dragged Di Gu away, their actions very rough.

Jiang Xuan looked again at the Vine Tribe people, saying, "Our Vine Tribe has just developed a bit, not even considered a medium-sized tribe yet, there are tribes much stronger than us; danger can come at any time!"

"I hope everyone can put aside those bad thoughts, unite, and strive to grow the Vine Tribe, so that we can survive the crises we face!"

"Moreover, I have an announcement."

"Starting today, the Vine Tribe establishes the Law Enforcement Hall, specifically to handle those who violate tribe regulations or damage tribe interests!"

Jiang Xuan was very clear, no matter how severe the punishment, it could not long-term deter so many people.

Only by setting up an institution like the Law Enforcement Hall, specifically responsible for overseeing and punishing various violations and criminal behaviors, could it be effective.

Jiang Xuan also planned to draft a set of laws, so the Vine Tribe members would know what they can and cannot do, greatly reducing the chances of wrongdoing.
