Hu Shu retracted his gaze from the distance and turned back to the busy crowd. He knew that there was no room for slacking off at this moment. Although the new strategy had been implemented, the road ahead was long and full of dangers. Shouyang Mountain seemed calm, but in fact there was an undercurrent. And they must find a way out for Human Race in this turbulent situation.
In the following days, there was a busy scene on Shouyang Mountain. Hu Shu shuttled back and forth to various areas, paying close attention to the consolidation process of the alliance between Human Race and Minor Factions. With his unremitting efforts, the cooperation between the two parties has become closer. Minor Factions Everyone witnessed Human Race's sincerity and efforts for the alliance, and their trust in Human Race was re-established.
On Training Ground, the Human Race soldiers trained hard under the careful guidance of Jie Sect Disciple. The shouts of killing came one after another, making the surrounding air buzz. Their sweat was soaked through The clothes they wore did not weaken their eyes for Thirst for Power. Hu Shu looked at these fighting warriors, and his heart was filled with joy. He knew that this was the hope for Human Race's rise.
At the same time, Fu Xi devoted himself wholeheartedly to the preparation work of Alliance Conference. He carefully planned the layout of the venue and carefully considered every invitation detail. The venue was decorated solemnly and warmly, with red silk and satin fluttering in the wind, as if telling a story Representatives of Human Race and Minor Factions arrived one after another. They were moved by Human Race's sincerity and expressed their willingness to work hand in hand with Human Race to jointly cope with future challenges.
On Alliance Conference, Hu Shu stood on the high platform, looking firmly at the people in the audience. "Everyone, we Human Race and you Minor Factions, are now closely connected. In this crisis-ridden Primordial World, only by uniting as one can we resist foreign enemies and strive for survival and development." His voice was firm and powerful, reverberating in everyone's ears like a bell.
The leaders of Minor Factions nodded one after another. One of the burly leaders stood up and said loudly, "What Mr. Hu said is absolutely true! We are willing to share joys and sorrows, life and death with Human Race!" There was a warm applause from the audience, and the atmosphere reached a climax.
However, just as the alliance between Human Race and Minor Factions was becoming more and more stable, an undercurrent was quietly surging. Chan Sect and Western Sect learned that After Human Race's new move, they were restless. They knew that the rise of Human Race would pose a huge threat to their interests. Therefore, the two religions secretly discussed and decided to incite some originally neutral forces to attack Human Race.
Although these neutral forces are not strong individually, they are numerous and cannot be underestimated when combined. Under the bewitchment of the Chan Sect and Western Sect, they developed a deep hostility towards Human Race.
In a border village in Human Race, the originally peaceful and peaceful life was broken. A group of strange figures suddenly broke in. They were dressed in different clothes, with ferocity and greed in their eyes. These were members of the neutral forces who were bewitched. They were beating, smashing, looting and burning everywhere, and the cries and screams of the villagers were intertwined, making people heartbroken.
"Why are you doing this? We and Human Race have always been on the same page!" An old man stood up angrily and questioned these uninvited guests.
A strong man at the head sneered, "Humph, Human Race is ambitious and wants to dominate Primordial World. Today we are going to give them a showdown!" After that, he waved the long knife in his hand, and the cold light flashed. The old man had no time to avoid it, and he immediately fell into a pool of blood.
Similar scenes were staged in many places around Human Race at the same time. The harassment of neutral forces brought great interference to the development of Human Race. Human Race's caravan was attacked during transportation, the goods were robbed, and there were heavy casualties; farmland was trampled, crops were destroyed, and the lives of the people were in trouble.
Hu Shu soon learned the news, and his face became extremely solemn. He immediately summoned Fu Xi and Tongtian Cult Master to discuss countermeasures.
"There must be the shadows of the Chan Sect and Western Sect behind these neutral forces. They want to kill people with a borrowed knife and destroy the development of our Human Race." Hu Shu frowned, with a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.
Fu Xi nodded slightly, looking worried. "The situation is now serious. Although these neutral forces are not strong individually, together they are like maggots on the tarsus and difficult to deal with. We must come up with a way to deal with them as soon as possible."
Tongtian Cult Master stroked his beard, thought for a moment and then said, "Perhaps we can try to communicate with these neutral forces first to show that we Human Race have no intention of dominating and try to resolve the misunderstanding. If communication fails, we can then take tough measures."
Hu Shu agreed, "That's all it can do. I'll go there in person to see if I can convince them."
However, things were not as simple as they imagined. When Hu Shu took a few cronies and went to the camp of the neutral forces with sincerity, they were greeted by shouts of killing.
"Human Race dog thief, take your life!" Under the instigation of the Chan Sect and Western Sect, the neutral forces did not listen to Hu Shu's explanation at all, so they waved their weapons and rushed towards them.
Hu Shu and others were caught off guard and fell into danger instantly. Hu Shu was secretly angry. He didn't expect these people to be so stubborn. But at this moment, he had no time to think too much and could only quickly draw his sword to meet the enemy.
The swords intersected, and sparks flew everywhere. Although Hu Shu was seriously injured, his strength could not be underestimated. His sword was like lightning, and every time he swung it, it brought out a bloody flower. However, the neutral forces were so numerous that they came like a tide, one wave after another.
Hu Shu's cronies also fought hard, but gradually became exhausted. "Sir, you go first, we will cover you!" one of the cronies shouted loudly, with determination in his voice.
Hu Shu felt hot in his heart, but he knew that he could not retreat at this time. He struggled to resist the enemy's attack while thinking about ways to escape.
During the fierce battle, Hu Shu found that although the neutral forces' attacks were fierce, they lacked unified command and seemed a bit chaotic. He thought that he might be able to use this to find a breakthrough.
Hu Shu saw the right moment, shouted loudly, and the sword in his hand glowed brightly. He performed a move Sharp Sword Technique, just like Flood Dragon going out to sea, and instantly drove back the enemies around him. Taking advantage of the enemy's stunned state, Hu Shu led his followers to break out in one direction.
Upon seeing this, the neutral forces immediately chased after them. Hu Shu and others fought and retreated, and were more or less injured. But they only had one belief in their hearts, that is, they must get rid of the enemy and return safely.
Finally, after a hard fight, Hu Shu and others successfully escaped the pursuit of the neutral forces. Dragging their tired bodies, they slowly walked towards Shouyang Mountain.
Hu Shu's face was terrifyingly gloomy. He was attacked instead of communicating this time, which made him realize the seriousness of the situation. How should Human Race deal with the Chan Sect and Western Sect while dealing with the relationship with these neutral forces? This was a difficult problem before him.
On Shouyang Mountain, after everyone on Human Race learned what happened to Hu Shu and others, the crowd was furious. "Fight them! How dare these bastards bully others so much!" A Human Race soldier waved his fist and roared.
But Hu Shu knew that impulsiveness could not solve the problem. He had to calm down and come up with a comprehensive response.
At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Shouyang Mountain, dyeing the whole mountain golden. Hu Shu stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, lost in thought. His figure looked a little lonely under the afterglow, but extremely determined.
