Eons Venerable Lord

At this moment, the center of the tribe was surrounded by people. Except for the children and women, the people of the Tamu tribe had basically all arrived. The old man stood in front of the crowd, facing the fierce group of people, his stooped body looked extremely weak.    

    

"Master Xintu, it has only been less than two months since the last tribute. Moreover, the tribute you want this time is really too much. It is almost equivalent to the amount of the previous year. We will not be able to gather it in a short period of time!"    

    

The old man said to the strong man as he counted. His voice carried a pleading tone.    

    

"Humph! Don't talk nonsense. If you don't hand it over, your Tamu tribe will not stay here any longer!" Xintu frowned and said coldly, not giving any leeway at all.    

    

"Master Xintu, please do a good job and make an exception. Now is the time for the sheep to give birth. In another month, when the sheep is done giving birth, we will definitely hand it over. If we hand it over now, then we won't have anything to eat next year! " The old man still refused to give up and begged bitterly.    

    

The people of the Tamu tribe behind him also felt angry but did not dare to say anything.    

    

"I don't care about that. I only care about collecting the tribute!"    

    

Xintu did not care about his feelings at all. Then, as if he had thought of something, he could not help but reveal an evil look in his eyes. He said, "But... Hehe... If you let your granddaughter serve me for a night, then I can consider giving you a month's time!"    

    

The old man's head instantly went blank when he heard this. How could he possibly give his granddaughter to such a person? Moreover, Xiaoling was only 13 years old.    

    

"No, absolutely not!" The old man directly refused.    

    

"Hmph! This is not up to you!"    

    

"Either hand over the tribute right now, three hundred sheep, a hundred horses, or hand over your granddaughter!"    

    

Xintu said coldly, his gaze faintly looking behind him as if he was looking for Xiaoling's figure.    

    

At this moment, the other people in the tribe all looked at the old man. One of them stood up and said softly, "That... leader, how about... letting Xiaoling serve Master Xintu. Maybe Master Xintu will be happy. If you take Xiaoling as your concubine, your family will be able to live a good life in the future! "    

    

This person was not embarrassed when he first spoke, but when he said the latter part, he became confident as if he was doing it for the good of the old man's family.    

    

"That's right, serving Xiaoling for a night isn't like taking Xiaoling's life!"    

    

"If we don't hand Xiaoling over, then it'll take all of our lives!"    

    

"I don't have a daughter in my family. Otherwise, I would really like to offer her to Lord Xintu!"    

    

"It's such a good opportunity, and no one can even beg for it. Leader, just agree. It's only for one night!"    

    

"Yeah, it's Xiaoling's fortune to be chosen by Master Xintu. If you serve her well, your family will enjoy endless riches and riches in the future!"    

    

When someone spoke, the others quickly began to speak in agreement. When the old man heard this, he was so angry that he trembled. He coldly glanced at the crowd. He never would have thought that this group of people would actually say such sarcastic words.    

    

"You... you..."    

    

"If my son had not died in battle to protect the tribe, would he still be able to live as freely as you now?"    

    

"Tell me, are you worthy of your conscience?"    

    

The old man's face was filled with grief and indignation, and he was trembling with anger.    

    

"Hmph, you don't have to say it. Back then, if it wasn't for your son opposing Lord Tie Mu, our tribe wouldn't have been reduced to such a state. If we had pledged our allegiance to him earlier, we might have lived a better life!"    

    

"That's right. So what if your son fought to the death? We were still under Lord Tie Mu's command!"    

    

"Besides, you are the leader of the tribe. You should make some sacrifices, or else you will not be the leader!"    

    

When the old man said that, these people became even more unbridled.    

    

Usually, everyone did not care, but once something happened, they would push all the responsibility onto the old man.    

    

Although the old man was the leader of the tribe, he was old and could not convince the masses. In addition, his son died in battle, and his granddaughter was still young. These people eventually sold him out at this time.    

    

"Good! Good! You are very good!"    

    

"Today, even if my old man dies, he will not let anyone spoil my granddaughter!"    

    

The old man's face was flushed red and his eyes were bloodshot. He immediately walked towards his own house and shouted, "Xiaoling, run! The farther the better!"    

    

"Not good, quick, catch Xiaoling! We can't let her escape!"    

    

Someone quickly reacted and shouted.    

    

What a joke. If Xiaoling ran away at this time, they would be in trouble.    

    

Sacrificing Xiaoling alone could protect everyone. How could they let Xiaoling run away?    

    

"Hmph, old fart, since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish today!"    

    

Xintu snorted coldly and waved his hand. The group of people under him instantly twisted their steel blades, surrounding the old man and capturing him.    

    

"You bunch of beasts! You beasts!" Tears flowed down the old man's face. His family had sacrificed so much for this tribe, but in the end, it was all in exchange for such an outcome. His heart had already turned cold to the bone.    

    

"Grandfather! Grandfather!"    

    

Xiaoling rushed out with tears streaming down her face. She had seen and heard everything that had happened just now, but she was only a weak woman. She had no strength to resist at all. She only wanted her grandfather not to be hurt.    

    

Her father had already left, and her grandfather was the only family she had in this world.    

    

So, she could not let her grandfather leave her again, even if... she really wanted her to serve that wretched Xintu.
