There's a saying that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Ultimately, where there are people, there are ambitions.

The Heavenly Moon Tribe had held the position of Miao King for over a hundred years, naturally leading to dissatisfaction among some tribal leaders, even to the extent of wanting to replace them.

Finally, about ten years ago, the increasingly powerful Cang Lang Tribe could no longer hold back.

They secretly allied with several other major tribes to prepare for an attack on the Heavenly Moon Tribe.

The clan leader of the Cang Lang Tribe promised the other tribal chiefs that if they could take down the Heavenly Moon Tribe, the succeeding Miao Kings would be rotated among the chiefs of the major tribes, each serving a term of five years.

The other tribal chiefs were immediately tempted by this proposal, as they had all long harbored the desire to experience being the Miao King.

Previously, due to the fear of the Heavenly Moon Tribe's strength, they had not dared to make a move.

Now that the Cang Lang Tribe had taken the lead, they naturally responded en masse.

Luckily, the leader of the Red Hawk Tribe at that time, who also happened to be their chief and was on good terms with the Miao King, revealed the plan in advance.

Although the Red Hawk Tribe did disclose the information, they did not dare to confront the other five tribes in alliance with the Heavenly Moon Tribe but merely waved their flags and shouted during the subsequent attack.

The Heavenly Moon Tribe had advanced preparations and, although the Red Hawk Tribe didn't pull their weight, fighting one against five, they were still on the back foot!

The end result was that almost all the masters of the Heavenly Moon Tribe, including the Miao King, fell in that battle, drastically weakening their power!

The Cang Lang Tribe, cunning as they were, played a trick during the battle with the Heavenly Moon Tribe by letting the other tribes charge ahead. When both they and the Heavenly Moon Tribe were heavily injured, the Cang Lang Tribe swooped in to reap the benefits.

The clan leader of the Cang Lang Tribe eventually got his wish and became the new Miao King!

However, the chief of the Cang Lang Tribe ultimately did not keep his promise to rotate the role of Miao King among the chiefs as previously agreed.

This is quite understandable, as the chief of the Cang Lang Tribe had not easily secured the position of Miao King. Why would he share this supreme status with others?

It can only be said that the tribes of that time were blinded by the position of Miao King and were thoroughly deceived by the Cang Lang Tribe!

But when they came to their senses, there was no remedy, as they had been crippled in the initial battle with the Heavenly Moon Tribe.

In that battle, the only forces that did not suffer significant damage were the Cang Lang Tribe and the Red Hawk Tribe.

Now, the power structure of the Miao Tribe had shifted to where the Cang Lang Tribe and the Red Hawk Tribe were dominant, while the Heavenly Moon Tribe and the other four major tribes had nearly depleted their resources in that battle and had declined to the status of ordinary, small tribes.

However, compared to the Cang Lang Tribe, the Red Hawk Tribe was still slightly inferior in strength.

As for why the Cang Lang Tribe wants to eliminate Mu Fan and Mu Ling'er, there are two main reasons, one being that they are the children of the previous Miao King, and the Cang Lang Tribe naturally wants to eradicate them completely.

Actually, at the critical moment of that great battle, the former Miao King realized there was no hope left and had his confidants take his children, Mu Fan and his sister, out and leave them with a pair of farmers he had known in the past to raise.

On the other hand, the reason is that the clan leader of the Cang Lang Tribe, now the Miao King, after defeating the Heavenly Moon Tribe, had never found the tribal treasure of the Miao, the "Spirit Insect Manual."

The Spirit Insect Manual has two main uses: it contains very advanced witch doctor techniques and Gu techniques, and it also symbolizes the legitimacy of the Miao King.

This is somewhat like the Dog Beating Stick from the Beggar's Sect in movies. On the one hand, it is a very powerful weapon, but more importantly, it is a symbol of the Beggar's Sect.

If one does not possess the Dog Beating Stick, they might still lead the Beggar's Sect, but their authority would feel somewhat illegitimate.

The significance of the Spirit Insect Manual is similar.

The chief of the Cang Lang Tribe, now the Miao King, having not found the Spirit Insect Manual, learned that the former Miao King's children had disappeared.

He immediately realized that the former Miao King must have entrusted the item to his children.

However, not knowing where these two were, over the years, he never gave up searching for the siblings.

Finally, at this time last year, he discovered clues about them and immediately sent people to capture them.

But just when they were about to succeed, they encountered a blockade from another group of people, and thus, the siblings embarked on a road of fleeing.

When Su Chen first encountered them on the ship, they were already in a dire state from being chased and thus planned to stow away abroad to hide.

However, at that time, Su Chen had been hurrying to Africa and had parted ways with them in Malacca, not knowing where they eventually went.

Abroad, they did have a period of peaceful days, but recently, it was the first anniversary of the death of the farming couple who had taken care of them. That couple had been killed last year when the people from the Cang Lang Tribe found them.

So, they wanted to return and quietly pay their respects, but unexpectedly, the Cang Lang Tribe had long stationed people at the graveyard.

In the end, they escaped with the help of another group of people and began a new round of fleeing.

As for the group that helped them, only that severely injured martial artist was left now...

After listening to Mu Fan's narration, Su Chen finally understood the whole story.

He then looked at the severely injured martial artist and asked,

"Who are you, and why did you help them, the siblings?"

"We are from the Red Hawk Tribe, commanded by our tribal leader to protect Young Master Mu and Miss Mu from falling into the hands of the Cang Lang Tribe," the man replied.

"Do those people from the Cang Lang Tribe know your identities?"

"No."

"I guess Uncle Shi doesn't want to be enemies with the Cang Lang Tribe either, given that the Cang Lang Tribe is powerful. I can understand that,"

Mu Fan added at that moment.

"Who is Uncle Shi?"

"Oh, he is the chief of the Red Hawk Tribe, and our father had always been on good terms with him while he was alive,"

Mu Fan explained, then added,

"Actually, Hua Xinglong has another important reason for wanting to kill my siblings and me."

"Oh, what reason?"

Su Chen asked curiously, having already learned from Mu Fan's previous narration that Hua Xinglong was the chief of the Cang Lang Tribe, also known as the current Miao King.

"Because my sister was already chosen as one of the three candidates for the Holy Maidens!"

Mu Fan glanced at his sister and said.

Su Chen was somewhat stunned to hear this, and couldn't help but glance at Mu Ling'er. This girl was a candidate for the Holy Maiden?

He was well aware of the influence the Holy Maiden had among the ordinary people of the Miao Tribe.

If the Miao King was the symbol of administration and authority, then the Holy Maiden was the spiritual symbol of the Miao Tribe, their totem!

"There isn't much time left before the selection of the Holy Maiden, and then my sister will have to go back and participate in the selection,"

Mu Fan said worriedly because, by then, the Cang Lang Tribe would definitely not sit idly by.

Because if his sister really became the Holy Maiden, as soon as she spoke a bad word about Hua Xinglong in front of the Miao people, not to mention people from other tribes, even those from the Cang Lang Tribe itself would start to doubt him.

If it were revealed that he had once pursued the Holy Maiden, his position as the Miao King would be in jeopardy...

For the people of the Miao Tribe, the Holy Maiden transcends tribes; she is a spiritual symbol common to all Miao people!
