What exactly happened in Chapter 153? (Bonus chapter for Gu Pu Tickets)
Her voice was initially soft and weak, like blades of grass swaying in the morning breeze, but as she hummed deeper, her voice gradually became firm and powerful.
However, she never expected that because she possessed the mark of a Holy Maiden recognized by the Golden Cup Priest, a wondrous connection would be quietly established between her and the Holy Maiden of the City of Leerbeasts the moment she hummed the song.
The two began to resonate with each other, as if two stars were echoing each other in the vast universe.
With Ruan Xiyue's arrival, the Holy Mother of Lierbeast City clearly felt much less pressure.
The arm, which had been trembling slightly from exertion, gradually stabilized.
Their voices intertwined, forming an even more powerful force that spread outwards like a surging wave.
Ruan Xiyue possesses healing abilities, and during this resonance process, her abilities were fully activated.
In an instant, the life energy of heaven and earth surged into the sacrificial square of the city of Leerbeasts like a flood bursting its banks.
Above the plaza, a pale blue light gathered like a dream, and as if it were alive, it fell upon the heavily wounded orc.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, an amazing scene unfolded.
Those originally gruesome wounds began to heal rapidly at a visible speed, as if gently caressed by an invisible hand. Skin and flesh grew back little by little, the bleeding slowly stopped, and the previously gaping wounds gradually smoothed out.
All the orcs watching were stunned by the sight before them, and couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
There were gasps all around, but soon everyone realized the solemnity of the moment and shut their mouths, afraid of making the slightest sound to disturb the two holy women's resonant humming.
Their eyes shone with a mixture of awe and hope, and their hearts were filled with reverence for this magical power.
Ruan Xiyue herself was equally shocked. She stared blankly at everything that was happening before her eyes, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She once thought that chanting hymns and blessing dances were just ordinary rituals, a form of singing and dancing.
But now, having witnessed it all firsthand, she truly understands the immense power and profound meaning behind these rituals.
Only then did she feel the weight of responsibility, as if an invisible crown had already been draped over her shoulders. Ironically, this was something she had painstakingly earned herself!
As the melodious and sacred hymn slowly came to a close, something miraculous happened.
The beastmen, who were originally seriously injured, had mostly healed their wounds and their complexions were gradually regaining their color.
Even more miraculously, the hidden ailments of all the orcs in the sacrificial square were quietly improved, just as ice and snow met the warm sun.
The beastmen who witnessed this miracle were deeply shocked and moved.
Filled with reverence, they knelt in unison before the two holy nuns, raising their arms high and chanting the names of Ruan Xiyue and Lier. Their voices, united as one, resounded like rolling thunder throughout the entire sacrificial square.
After the ceremony, Holy Mother Lier led Ruan Xiyue and her entourage to the Beast City Central Palace, which was usually only opened when the Beast City made important decisions or convened a council meeting.
Stepping into the solemn hall, Holy Mother Lier turned around and looked at Ruan Xiyue with a grave expression: "Now, Holy Mother Xiyue, can you tell us what exactly happened to you?"
Ruan Xiyue took a deep breath and recounted the whole story in detail.
It turns out that Long Ze was investigating in depth to help her find the wandering beastmen who wiped out the Iron-Eating Beast Tribe. Unexpectedly, he ended up involving the second largest family in Lute Beast City—the Great Bamboo Lemur Clan. They were the real culprits who hired the killers and caused the Iron-Eating Beast Tribe to be wiped out.
After learning of Longze's investigation, the Great Bamboo Lemur tribe launched a frantic manhunt for him.
Fortunately, a passing orc witnessed the incident and quickly relayed the news to the Lion Clan tribe.
Upon learning that her husband, Long Ze, was in danger, Ruan Xiyue resolutely decided to gather the beastmen and go to rescue him.
During their operation, they ran right into the remnants of the Great Bamboo Lemur tribe, who had just finished a fierce battle with the Treasure-Seeking Rat tribe.
The two sides instantly engaged in an extremely fierce battle. After a bloody struggle, Ruan Xiyue's side achieved a victory, but it was a Pyrrhic one.
After listening to Ruan Xiyue's account, a middle-aged tribal chief slowly spoke up: "So, you mean the Great Bamboo Lemur tribe colluded with the wandering beastmen? Do you have any evidence?"
His tone was steady, making it difficult to discern any emotional fluctuations from his voice.
This made it difficult for Ruan Xiyue to determine whether the other party was asking a normal, routine question or deliberately trying to cause trouble.
Ruan Xiyue subconsciously turned her gaze to Long Ze and Li Miao, hoping they could give a strong response.
Long Ze shook his head slightly, a hint of regret in his expression: "When I was tracking those wandering orcs in Lute Beast City, I discovered that they had mastered a method to conceal the mark of exile, a method that can last for a week."
At that time, I chased them to the Twin Valleys outside Lute Beast City, and inadvertently fell into their carefully laid ambush.
The wandering orcs led me there and then left.
Right now, all I remember is what they look like. To find solid evidence, we must first catch them.
Unfortunately, I currently do not have any evidence.
Li Miao crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows slightly, looking seemingly nonchalant: "Although I have always admired the Holy Mother Xi Yue, I only encountered this matter by chance on my way to the Lion Clan tribe."
However, I think I could be considered a living witness, right?
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on them, and the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly tense and solemn because of this suspenseful conversation.
The orcs of the Treasure-Hunting Rat tribe corroborated this: "We were just going to discuss sea salt cooperation with the Holy Mother Xiyue, because we recently learned that the Holy Mother Xiyue was looking for tribes that could provide sea salt for her newly established beast city."
"As it turned out, we happened to run into the Great Bamboo Lemur tribe, who were chasing some kind of orcs. They mistook us for orcs who had come to investigate the truth behind the destruction of the Iron-Eating Beast tribe. That's why they started fighting with us."
"Besides our Treasure-Hunting Rat tribe, other orcs must have also learned that they were the real culprits behind the destruction of the Iron-Eating Beast tribe. We were mistaken and encountered the wrong people, which is why our tribe lost a lot of young orcs."
"However, I think that if the Great Bamboo Lemur tribe really takes risks for the sake of bamboo salt business and dares to collude with wandering beastmen... such behavior really cannot be allowed to develop."
In that case, which tribe would still bother to innovate and create things properly?
Making something good attracts the attention of larger tribes or beast-city families. The entire tribe is wiped out. That's terrifying!
My Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe hopes that all beast cities, as well as the Holy City, will conduct a thorough investigation at this time.
Such behavior will not be tolerated; otherwise, the tribes will live in constant fear among the beastmen!
