Such a fickle ally could not be spared.
Silence.
and she raised her hand and with a swift motion a blade of space cleaved through the air, decapitating the elder in an instant, its head rolled to the ground, eyes wide in disbelief.
The composed, refining tiger showed no surprise at the turn of events.
This was a moment to assert authority, and Ini would not spare a single elder.
Dou Tiger had long anticipated its fate.
Yet now that death loomed, fear had dissipated from its heart.
Do you have any final words? Inshi coldly inquired, gazing at the weakened dowo tiger.
Bayou stood quietly, observing the scene.
Had it not been for the support of your human allies, you would not be in a position to speak thus, your skills are merely inferior.
Dao Tiger maintained its hotty demeanor, seemingly regaining the heir of its status as an elder, entirely forgetting its earlier submission.
It refused to acknowledge Inshi's rise, attributing her success to external forces, convinced that victory would have belonged to them otherwise.
In she did not counter or express anger at the remark.
While they could bow and scrape before the halfbeast empire, these elders still regarded her with an air of superiority as a queen's bloodline.
Engaging in conversation with such individuals was a complete waste of time.
Without hesitation, Ingi ended Dao Tiger's life, her heart unperturbed, even contemplating whether the half-beast empire would display the same bravado if they were to execute it.
Bayou, let them be summoned as the undead.
The silver-haired Inshi gazed at Bayou and spoke.
In response, Bayou remained unpretentious.
The two royal corpses indeed held immense significance for her, far surpassing the experience points gained from vanquishing two royal entities.
By the way, I was in such a rush at that time.
It was the undead who were responsible for stalling Zong who and his companions, and they may have already been slain by the undead.
Upon hearing this, Ini did not dwell on it, but rather felt a slight sense of relief.
She had been concerned that by you's undead might not have been able to hold back Zonghu, resulting in by you losing several undead.
It's all right.
Death is acceptable.
Let us return.
Chapter 395.
The unification of the ice field white tiger clan above.
The crimson moon hung high in the night sky, marking the arrival of midnight.
All clans had succumbed to slumber, save for the azure sea along the northern coastline, which rippled gently, tranquil and serene.
At this moment, in the heart of the far northern realm, the domain of the white tiger clan, seven majestic peaks glimmered with lights, radiating warmth and illuminating the vast, desolate ice field.
In the central palace, the ice mountain, previously shattered, was swiftly restored by Bayou, Inshi, and the other Tiger folk employing their frost magic.
The task of mending an ice mountain was a trivial endeavor for four royal grade wielders of frost power.
The underground ice layer, where she had once slumbered, was now filled, and the ice mountain had essentially returned to its original form.
ultimately by you and en she employed spatial magic to imbue it with a seal, rendering the mountains hardness akin to that of steel.
Meanwhile, Leanhu and you, who were not idol, upon returning to their clan, they promptly summoned the kings of their tribes, instructing them to gather the entirety of the ice field white tiger clan at the foot of the queen's ice mountain.
Soon, a throng of bewildered white tigers congregated in the clan's heart, encircling the ice mountain.
The recent assassination of the clan elders and the subsequent upheaval of the upper echelons had gone unnoticed by the ordinary clan members, many of whom remained oblivious, mistakenly believing that the seven elders convened to discuss matters of tribal strategy.
In she stood at top the palace on the ice mountain, observing the surging masses of the white tiger clan below, all of whom were unaware of the minations that had transpired.
Lean who and you who hovered in the air, silently watching as the assembly completed once all were gathered.
Lein who descended, positioning himself at the center of the crowd.
The tribe, puzzled, turned their gazes towards this elder, who typically remained elusive, uncertain of what announcement awaited them.
The reason for tonight's gathering was of utmost importance.
Leen, whose voice resonated throughout the assembly, causing the surrounding members to gradually quiet down, seizing the moment, Leen, who continued, "372 years ago, our queen fell and the royal bloodline withered.
To avert civil strife within the clan, the seven tribes resolved to jointly govern our people, leading to the establishment of the Elder Council.
However, as time passed, the shortcomings of this council became increasingly apparent, revealing parasites within our ranks whose primary motives were self-erving rather than for the clan's welfare.
They formed factions blinded by power and having forsaken the original purpose of nurturing and strengthening our tribe.
and our esteemed queen has tirelessly endeavored for the advancement of our clan.
Yet these individuals have betrayed her legacy, unworthy of holding positions within the Elder Council.
Leanne, who spoke passionately, while the surrounding tiger folk remain perplexed, unsure why this elder was recounting tales of the past.
For these ordinary members, whose lives were fleeting, such distant events bore no relevance to their existence.
Certainly, there were some clansmen who were utterly enraged upon hearing this, having long harbored disdain for the system of governance by the elders.
Most of these tigers belong to tribes outside the seven great clans, and their leaders being the elders of the entire race brought them endless benefits, which they were naturally reluctant to relinquish.
Now, we have discovered that our majesty still has descendants living among us.
However, these elders in their pursuit of power are intent on exterminating the last bloodline of her majesty.
Their actions are unforgivable.
As these words left the lips of Leanho, chaos erupted among the ice field white tigers below, who began to murmur amongst themselves.
Her majesty still has descendants.
The elders aim to eliminate the offspring of her majesty to maintain their dominion in their hearts.
The queen from centuries ago was their faith.
Without her, there would be no Ice Field White Tiger Clan today, and they would still be leading a life of wandering.
Some Icefield White Tigers who had caught wind of the news suddenly realized the frequent movements of the elders in recent days and the ulterior motives behind rallying the clansmen.
They are traitors.
They have betrayed the clan, and according to clan law, they must be executed to set an example.
Upon hearing this, the tigers below were takenback.
To kill the elders seemed utterly absurd.
Yet what followed was even more astonishing.
Bang.
Bang.
The sound of dull thuds resonated instantly capturing the attention of the surrounding tigers who hurried forward, their pupils contracting in shock.
There lay the corpses of several elders.
Leinhu was not justesting.
They had indeed slain these elders.
Observing their reaction, Leanu noted their intimidation by the deaths and continued to speak.
Through the combined efforts of myself and the Yu Elder, we have successfully brought back this esteemed individual.
Today, I, Leanho, declare that the Icefield White Tiger Clan shall follow the footsteps of our new queen and achieve unification.
Following this declaration, Liinhu and Yu exuded their royal aura, swiftly calming the agitated crowd and the royal tigers from other tribes.
The two elders faced the direction of the palace, their bodies hovering as they bowed solemnly.
"Welcome," her majesty.
At this moment, Inshi at top the palace understood it was her time to step forth.
She gracefully advanced, walking through the air while emanating her aura, awakening the power of her royal bloodline.
This was the most direct method of proving her royal lineage.
A colossal phantom of a white tiger materialized behind her, emitting a fierce roar.
This invisible roar sent tremors through the souls of all present tigers.
This was a manifestation of a bloodline power far superior to their own.
Without a doubt, the girl suspended in midair was the bloodline of her majesty.
The Leinhu and Yu clans were the first to kneel, expressing their loyalty in unison.
Congratulations to her majesty on ascending the throne.
With the two major clans leading the way, the leaders of some smaller clans within the tribe began to show their respect.
Kneeling to welcome Ini.
Such upheaval among the higher echelons of the clan was not something these smaller tribes could partake in.
The remaining five tribes swiftly expressed their positions with two of them being originally neutral factions while another discerned the shifting dynamics and promptly made a choice.
Only two tribes remained under the weight of the collective pressure ultimately succumbing to the inevitability of expression.
Observing the scene below, Lean, who took note of the senior personnel from these tribes, all of whom were once trusted confidants of Zong Hu.
A reckoning would be necessary thereafter.
suspended in the air.
In she glanced back at Bayou, who stood outside the palace, offering a sweet smile before turning her gaze downward.
On this day, her aspirations were finally realized.
She had unified the clans.
