After Chen Xuan gave the order to prepare for war in the Black-Corner Region, unrest began to stir throughout the Snake-People Tribe.
Countless members of the Snake-People Tribe began sharpening their blades, doing everything they could to strengthen themselves. Yet there was no fear in their eyes, only a keen light tinged with excitement.
The Snake-People Tribe was bloodthirsty by nature. Bloodlust was in their very bones!
Their previous peaceful coexistence with the Jia Ma Empire had only been possible because Chen Xuan, their queen, had kept them in check.
Now that they knew the tribe would relocate to the Black-Corner Region, their eyes shone with excitement.
In the Black-Corner Region, they would finally be able to unleash the fighting instincts they had suppressed for so long.
Just how powerful were the experts of the Black-Corner Region, that place known as the Chaos Domain, where every day was drowned in blood?!
Every bit of it set their blood racing.
Meanwhile, the entire governing apparatus of the Snake-People Tribe sprang into action. Cartload after cartload of supplies began arriving from every corner of the Jia Ma Empire.
Medicinal ingredients, pills, and all manner of fine weapons poured into the Snake-People Tribe in an endless stream every day.
Chen Xuan also spent vast sums purchasing various high-grade medicinal ingredients from the Jia Ma Empire to prepare for unforeseen needs.
Such large-scale activity naturally could not escape the notice of the Jia Ma Empire's two greatest powers: the Jia Ma Imperial Family and the Misty Cloud Sect.
Both sides secretly dispatched people to investigate what exactly the Snake-People Tribe intended to do.
After all, resource mobilization on such a scale was very likely preparation for war.
Otherwise, there would have been no need to purchase weapons, pills, and medicinal ingredients across the board.
