The Legend of Min Hong

Chapter 440: Heaven – Earth Mentality

Thus Min Hong realized that the fact that he was thinking about the entire situation meant that the Little Archer had placed him under a challenge of his own, just to show Min Hong that they were no pushovers either, and this spurred up a competitive desire within Min Hong

Old Man Li within the 'Realm of Creations' who had just smiled at Min Hong's acknowledgement froze in his steps when this happened;

"H-H-he did it!?"

"He did it!"

"The great creator did it!"

He beamed in joy as he revealed a smile that almost tore his mouth from ear to ear, and in fact when Little Lin and Little Bing saw it, they were forced to begin to whisper amongst themselves

"Who would have thought the law of duality the great creator spoke about actually allowed him to awaken an opposite bloodline to this devilish one"

"This kid just became the knife-edge of this approaching apocalypse!"

Old Man Li sighed before looking ahead to find Shen Bing and Little Lin staring at him with a curious gaze;

"I am simply appreciating nature" He quickly lied to prevent them from knowing about what was going on

Min Hong on the other hand finally found himself staring at a vast area of cleared land with innumerable bungalows and tents, and he had no choice but to feel stunned that such a thing could actually truly exist within these Land of Stones

It was a land the size of a neighborhood or estate which had all its stones, boulders and massive rocks cleared off the area to form some sort of natural fence that prevents anyone from noticing that there was an entire civilization behind the rocky area

Then since there were many large rocks all over the place, this ensured that whoever was heading towards the village have to walk around these innumerable large rocks through six paths; five of which lands at a dead end

Min Hong saw the leader of the group and the man stared back at their group with utter amazement He was familiar with Jun Tao who was more of their mate in terms of appearance, talents, age and status

But as for Gong Yi and Min Hong who just crushed their pride with utmost impunity, he felt a level of awe that was almost bordering on devotion;

"What may I do for you two young maters" He said, as Jun Tao bellowed from the side;

"How dare you refer to my master with the term young!?"

"To us and our clan, he is a 'Young Master'; just like a person from the younger generation who has the ability to lead the entire tribe to greater glory with a little guidance from old men with vast experience like us"

"You have chosen for yourself and your tribe to exist as servants to him, but to us, he is just the most important member of our younger generation, which might be able to lead our tribe out of the shadows of our oppressors"

Before long, the Dark Stone Tribe Leader who Min Hong had not even physical spoken to had begun to wrestle with Jun Tao about which position their tribes would hold in Min Hong's group

Min Hong frowned deeply at the situation; it appeared to him like this Dark Stone Tribe Leader thought he and his tribe had a say in the matter

But because he would need their manpower, he decided to solve them matter with a unique approach;

Thus he raised his hands to shut Jun Tao, and then smiled at him before replying;

"The personal servant of an Emperor, holds a higher authority than the general of his empire"

This was a spin off from the adage Little Fei just gave to him which meant that, the personal caregiver of an Emperor is much more valuable than the general of that empire, because the personal caregiver makes sure the Emperor of the Empire remains alive and healthy which was a level of reassurance that was ten times greater than whatever speech the general can make

Any empire with a dead emperor would succumb to defeat in the face of external pressure or neighboring attacks, no matter what the general might say, but one with a dumb emperor will hold the morale* high ground since they have someone to truly fight for

Jun Tao heard that statement, and though it didn't mean his tribe would be the caregiver to Min Hong, but the general intention was to reassure him that the position of his tribe would without doubt be better and higher than that of the Dark Stone Tribe

The Dark Stone Tribe Leader also got the underlying message as his respect for Min Hong deepened; he had just purposely tested Min Hong with his actions trying to see, if Min Hong was truly one person who will belittle one tribe just because a stronger one was acquired...

Then secondly, he had also tested Min Hong's ability to handle sensitive situations that arise unexpectedly, and the calmness with which Min Hong thwarted both tests made him develop a stronger respect for him

[Only if he realized that he was in a 1 V 3 scenario, then perhaps he wouldn't have bothered with the test]

Naturally, Min Hong was only able to pass this test because of the [Royal Literacy Of Ancient Empires] manual which Little Fei had begun to learn about, and within them were schemes just like this which a ruler would face when trying to form alliances with other strong groups like himself

"Alright, since you already know why I am here, I will just skip to the reason why I am doing this"

Min Hong began to reveal his intention and plan to them, there and then, so that they could understand the gravity of the mission they were about to undertake

"I plan on uniting the entire Land Of Stones and I thought the Corner Stone Tribe might be willing to regain their past glories, by showing just how their ancestors were back when the tribe was at its peak"

"I can take care of the Diamond Crust Mercenaries without your help, but once I am done with them, I will also pay a visit to every other tribe and establishments within the Land of Stones and force them under my rule or eliminate all of them at once and build from there"

Min Hong's statement planted a seed of fear within this people as he made them realize that this meeting wasn't to form an alliance or anything but to simply come and ask if the Dark Stone Tribe wanted to live or not

If they wanted to live, then they must submit to his reign, and if they feel they could resist, then they could go against him or refuse him, and from his earlier show of strength, they knew that would be a pipe dream

"When you have made your decision, you will follow him and he will lead you all over to your new home"

Min Hong announced before nodding towards Jun Tao who was gloating at the Dark Stone Tribe Leader with so much joy that his head nearly exploded

Then he looked to Gong Yi and saw him showing a subtle thumbs up as they turned and flew out of the residential area, showing the Dark Stone Tribe Leader that the path which they so much prided in was nothing significant to them

"You heard my master, let's begin the migration"

Jun Tao emphasized on the word 'My Master' and used the word ''Migration' in a blatant way that humiliated the Dark Stone Tribe for the utter defeat they just experienced

Though it was with slightly darkened faces, the tribe had no choice but to follow Jun Tao's orders from now on, since he would be the one in charge of the migration

Min Hong on the other hand was currently ripping the sky in half with the blistering speed at which they were heading for their next destination;

The Light Stone Tribe

Gong Yi didn't speak at all halfway through the entire journey and when it got to a stage Min Hong had no choice but to speak first;

"You will nearly suffocate me with so much questions, but I will try to answer as much as possible"

He said with a smile as Gong Yi initially gasped in shock before smiling awkwardly at being found out

He had truly had heaps and mountains of curiosities he needed to understand, but he didn't want to begin to throw out these questions because most of them were private and might appear interrogative to Min Hong

Thus, when Min Hong agreed to answering as much as possible, that showed him that Min Hong was a very shrewd boy with keen senses and vast wisdom

It was like nothing ever stumps him, and anytime he says or does nothing about any situation, it wasn't like he didn't know what to do, but probably because he didn't just feel like commenting or taking an action on it

"Who are you really?"

"Not that-"

"I know what you mean"

Min Hong eased his nerves as Gong Yi smiled once again at his level of understanding;

"The point is simply because I look and think of things like this from the zenith of a sovereign's point of view"

"This means, my views on political matters is from a point of view much higher than that of an Imperial"

"If the Imperials of the Dogon Empire takes over a Super Clan, it would appear like an achievement of gargantuan proportions to the common folks, but when other neighboring Imperials hear about it, it would sound just like a neighbor winning another internal battle"

Min Hong explained as Gong Yi nodded his head

It was the ultimate truth; since the start of this mission, Min Hong's response to everything had always been from a point of view much superior to his

Firstly, the tactical arrangements of the members in R1 to R5

Secondly, he and Xiao Gui fought with the Pirate Leader with the aim of showing superiority in strength, but Min Hong came into the situation and enslaved the leader overnight

Thirdly, he had thought they were coming here to form an alliance, but Min Hong came here with the intent of absorbing then entire tribe as a whole

They are just like heaven and earth in terms of mentality
