Chapter 2327 Guilty
âYes.â
Senzo regained his composure and looked at Vannes, nodding approvingly, âWell done.â
Vannes noticed that the Great Elder wasnât particularly pleased and couldnât help but ask, âGreat Elder, is something wrong?â
âYeah, just got word that Fang Heng didnât die.â
âWhat?!â
Vannes was astonished.
âHeâs not dead? How is that possible?â
âI find it strange too. Not only is he alive, but he also captured Serge and sent word for us to deliver the agreed materials to him.â
âHumph!â Vannes snorted heavily. âHeâs dreaming!â
Senzo spoke solemnly, âFang Hengâs actions are an attempt to leverage Serge to obtain materials from us. If we donât comply, it wonât be easy for Elder Serge to return. Furthermore, Iâm concerned Fang Heng will continue to cause trouble for us.â
âSo weâre just going to give him everything?â Vannes grumbled angrily, feeling frustrated. âThe Wood tribe is a bunch of useless people if they canât even handle Fang Heng!â
Senzo, being well-versed in matters of strategy, was also curious.
The Wood tribe was not weak,
How could they let Fang Heng leave so easily?
According to several tribe members executing the mission, Fang Heng was in excellent condition when he left the Wood tribeâs habitat, showing no signs of injury.
Could it be that there was some agreement between the Wood tribe and Fang Heng?
That couldnât be possible.
Senzo ruled out this guess.
Vannes was getting anxious.
So they were just going to hand over the hard-earned spoils to Fang Heng like this?
After all the effort, they end up being his laborers?
âGreat Elder, youâre not seriously considering agreeing to Fang Hengâs terms, are you?â
Senzo furrowed his brow, feeling increasingly troubled.
From their interactions with Fang Heng, it was clear he was not one to accept any loss. If they didnât give him the goods, it wouldnât be long before the Licker horde arrived. Senzo suspected Fang Heng might resort to despicable tactics of attrition.

In the end, they would be the ones dealing with the headache.
But handing over the hard-won goods snatched from the Wood tribe to Fang Heng?
On what grounds?
Not even Vannes could hide his extreme displeasure.
âReport!â
As they were speaking, a Leaf tribe guard hurriedly arrived, kneeling and presenting a letter. He reported, âGreat Elder, thereâs the latest update from the Wood tribe.â
Senzo, after reading the report handed to him by his subordinate, showed a deep concern in his eyes.
âGreat Elder,â Vannes whispered softly as he noticed Senzoâs changing expression, âWhatâs the matter?â
âThe Wood tribe is rapidly mobilizing and heading towards our territory,â Senzo replied.
âOh?â
Vannesâ eyes flashed with determination as he spoke coldly, âI knew they wouldnât just let this slide. This is perfect timing. Iâve been wanting to confront them face-to-face for a while now, Great Elder. Iâll personally deal with them.â
âNo, this time their approach is peculiar. Letâs retreat behind the protective barrier,â Senzo said with a serious expression.
The report indicated that the Wood tribeâs Great Elder, Tam Sangga, had swiftly gathered their clan and was marching directly towards them. The entire tribe seemed to be mobilizing hastily, showing a readiness for direct confrontation.
It was strange. Werenât they afraid of their settlement being attacked?
âWhy?â
Vannes was puzzled.
âIf Tam Sangga, the Great Elder of the Wood tribe, is personally leading the team, youâre no match for him.â
âWhat? Personally leading the team?â
âYes, this situation is indeed suspicious. Iâve already sent someone to investigate thoroughly. For now, Serge is still detained by Fang Heng, and youâre in charge of all external guards of the habitat.â
âUnderstood!â
Senzo and Vannes could never have guessed that Fang Heng had taken advantage of entering the Wood tribeâs territory to completely absorb the sacred tree sapling that the Wood tribe had cultivated for many years!
How could the Wood tribe not be furious?
With rage in their eyes, they came over to confront the Leaf tribe recklessly.
Although Senzo couldnât fathom the reason for the Wood tribeâs sudden outburst, seeing their desperate determination made him feel a twinge of unease.
The Leaf tribeâs strength was nowhere near what it used to be.
âAlso, transfer the rest of the spoils to the secret warehouse first. Have Yuri start absorbing the essence of the sacred tree immediately. We need to boost our combat strength right away.â
âUnderstood.â
Vannes nodded.
Thinking about it carefully, Great Elderâs deployment was actually quite convenient.
Recently, the Leaf tribe had already withdrawn to a defensive posture, and they had only held one of the peripheral Temples of Incantation. Retreating had been quite convenient.
âGreat Elder, how should we handle Fang Hengâs situation? Are we really going to return the plundered goods to him?â
Senzo pondered for a moment.
âNo matter what the Wood tribeâs intentions are, this is a critical moment. Itâs not prudent to deal with both the Wood tribe and Fang Heng simultaneously. I will send someone to inform Fang Heng that we need his assistance. Once the matter is resolved, everything we took from the Wood tribe today, including the vessels of sacrifice and sacred tree branches, will be returned to him with both hands.â

In the Inner World, the Prayer Temple emitted a scarlet light.
[Hint: Abe Akayaâs current dimensional level has increased to Level 11, consuming 22,000,000 energy points (affected by the level of the Prayer Temple, reducing upgrade energy consumption by 12%).]
[Hint: Due to Abe Akayaâs dimensional level increase, the vampire clan gains an additional 80% basic attribute boost (calculated only through academic disciplines and bloodline type skills).]
[Hint: The dimensional level can be raised to a maximum of Abe Akayaâs level divided by 10 plus 1. Currently, Abe Akayaâs level is Level 148, so the dimensional level can be raised to Level 15 at most.]
Not bad, its dimensional level had increased again.
Dimensional strength levels 1 to 5 provide an additional 20% increase in basic attributes per grade. From grade 6 onwards, this increases to 40% per grade, and starting from grade 11, the increase becomes 80%.
Similarly, the dimensional energy required for leveling up increases exponentially.
Fang Heng withdrew his gaze from the magic array.
âHail, Your Majesty!â
Around the magic array, a circle of gathered vampires all knelt in unison.
Vampire King Carl reported, âYour Majesty, Elder Miles from the Leaf tribe seeks an audience. I have asked him to wait at the entrance.â
âHmm, letâs go. Letâs see what tricks the leaf tribe is up to this time,â Fang Heng said, leading the vampires out of the Prayer Temple.
Outside the temple, Elder Miles had been waiting for some time.
âFang Heng.â
Recognizing the familiar face, Fang Heng couldnât help but smile slightly and nodded in greeting. âElder Miles, I presume youâve come to discuss the terms of our cooperation?â
âYes,â Miles replied, his eyes showing a hint of caution as he looked at Fang Heng. He nodded and asked, âAnd what about Elder Serge? Is he well?â
âHeâs doing very well, almost enjoying himself,â Fang Heng chuckled. âBut letâs talk about the terms first.â
âToday, we invaded the Wood tribeâs territory and occupied three of their Temples of Incantation. We have already counted all the materials we obtained and temporarily stored them in the tribeâs habitat.â
