When everyone is watching the battle taking place in the arena, they already know who will win. Everyone was waiting for Xie Shandian to stop the fight, but as Xie Fangsu was hit one attack after another, Xie Shandian refused to throw in the towel.
Xiao Huli turned Xie Shandian, "Stop the fight immediately. Your daughter and son will die."
Xie Shandian said stubbornly, "If they died, they will die honorable."
Xiang Huaban frowned, "How honored is it to see your children split in half?"
Chao Tiaowen urged, "Everyone already knows the outcome of the battle, who is the winner. Why can't you see it?"
Lang Lirun, "We will forfeit." He threw in his white towel. "I don't want to see my son burned to death or split to death."
Xiao Huli urged, "Surrender, please."
Xie Shandian, "No!"
Xiao Huli frowned, "You old fool. Surrender."
Zhao Renshu sent a single icicle hitting Xie Fangsu's right shoulder, but Xie Fangsu keeps standing up.
Zhao Renshu shook his head, "Stay down. If you stand up, you will die."
Xie Fangsu groaned in pain, "I can't. My father won't forgive me..." She coughed and vomited a mouthful of blood.
Zhao Renshu raised his sword, "I'm sorry."
Just as Zhao Renshu was about to unleashed his attack on the weak defenseless Xie Fangsu. Guo Baiyu held his right wrist. Zhao Renshu looked at Guo Baiyu.
Guo Baiyu, "She will die if you strike."
Zhao Renshu shook his head and sighed, "Dammit." Zhao Renshu sheath his sword back to the scabbard on his back. Zhao Renshu already knew from the expression on Guo Baiyu's face that Guo Baiyu is forfeiting the fight.
Guo Baiyu walked towards the injured Xie Fangsu, who was kneeling on the ground. He reached inside his inner robe and took out two small bottles. He poured a pill from each bottle. One red pill and one brown pill.
Guo Baiyu gave the two pills to Xie Fangsu and said, "One is to help stop the bleeding, and the other one is to help relieve pain."
Zhao Renshu and Fang Yaoting stood behind Guo Baiyu.
Fang Yaoting, "Should we continue to fight?"
Zhao Renshu frowned, "Nah... Baiyu forfeit."
Guo Baiyu reached out his hand and his magic string loosen from the tied scorpion's feet hovering around Guo Baiyu's left wrist, then vanished into his skin. The three friends walked out of the arena.
The elder senior announced loudly, "The victor and leader of all clans will be the leader of the Scorpion clan."
When the three men walked to Xiao Huli, everyone remained silent.
Guo Baiyu said, "I apologize deeply."
Xiao Huli smiled proudly and said, "No need to apologize. If I stood there, I would do the same thing. I have never seen such people like the three of you before." Xiao Huli put his right hand on his left chest and bowed to three friends. Then the other members of the Fox clan did the same.
Xie Shandian walked up to Xiao Huli and said, "In the end, we are the winner. As the grand leader of all clans, I will take over Fox Mountain. Members of the Fox clan are welcome to stay or they can move to other places."
Chao Tiaowen said indifferently, "We all know who is the grand leader of all the clans." He walked over to the three friends and kowtow with one knee. "I am Chao Tiaowen, Leader of the Snake Clan and I am willing to serve you."
Xiao Huli, Zu Fengmi, Lang Lirun, Fei Weifeng, Xiang Huaban, and the rest of other small clans who participated but lost and those who did not participate, knelt down with one knee with theirs right hand across theirs chest, "We will be willing to serve under you."
Xie Shandian, "Outrageous! The rules are very clear. The person who wins the competition will be the grand leader of all the clans."
Fei Weifeng, "As far as I can see, the only winner are the Guozhao Hunters of the Fox clan."
Chao Tiaowen added, "If they didn't show mercy, do you think your seriously injured daughter has a chance to compete with them?"
Fang Yaoting, "I would like to speak." He cleared his throat. "I don't want to be any clan leader. I am very happy to be able to provide help to those in need." Fang Yaoting walked towards Lee Dachin and smiled at him.
Lee Dachin took out his handkerchief and wiped Fang Yaoting's face.
Guo Baiyu said, "We represent the Fox clan. Then let the Fox clan leader become the grand leader of all the clans."
Xiao Huli said, "Guozhao Hunters, please accept the title 'grand leader'. If you give me the title, then everyone will be at each other's throats once more."
Lang Lirun, "As I said, except for the three of you, I don't accept anyone as the grand leader of all the clans."
Xiao Hui, "You two promised me to bring peace to the spirit clans?"
Guo Baiyu, "Does everyone listen to the grand leader of all the clans?"
All of the clan Leaders, "Yes."
Guo Baiyu, "Then we will accept it."
Zhao Renshu, "Baiyu, are you crazy?"
Guo Baiyu whispered, "Be quiet." He cleared his throat, "As the first grand leader of all clans, I will give my first order. My first order will be that all of you should forget about the immortal pills and Magic book. There is no such item in the world. Goddess Jiutian Xuannü personally confirmed this. My second order is that I hope everyone will unite and stop killing each other. "
Everyone nodded.
Guo Baiyu, "Everyone should always remember why Nuwa created the twelve clans in the first place. Nuwa created the twelve clans to keep harmony amount living thing. We promised Goddess Jiutian Xuannü that we will catch some criminals for her, so we can't be the leaders who will stay here with everyone. I will appoint, Fox clan leader to be the ruler on the North, Wolf clan leader to be the ruler on the West, Snake clan leader to be the ruler on the East, and Flower clan leader to be the ruler on the South. The four of you have responsibilities to keep peace amount all clans who live within your region."
Xie Shandian said madly, "We will not be part of your unified clan. We will remain single." He looked at the gathered clans. "We will leave now." Xie Shandian and his disciples left.
Guo Baiyu said, "It cannot be force. If anyone feels the same way like the leader of the Scorpion clan, you are welcome to leave."
A moment passed, but no one moved.
Guo Baiyu, "Bee clan leader, if you notice that any of the four clans has abused their power. You have the right to investigate and revoke their title. Xiao Hui and Xiao Dan, if you two notice the bee clan leader Is abusing her power and knows what to do."
Xiao Hui and Xiao Dan smiled, "Yes."
Xiao Huli, "Let hold a grand celebration tonight. This is the first time in a thousand years that the twelve clans finally unified."
Everyone started to return to the camp. Gou Baiyu stopped Zu Fengmi.
Guo Baiyu said, "Head of the Bee clan, can I talk to you."
Zu Fengmi, "Yes, grand leader Gou."
Guo Baiyu, "I'm sorry, what Renshu did on the arena."
Zu Fengmi, "This is a fighting competition, There is no hard feeling. Also, I can't blame grand leader Zhao."
Guo Baiyu, "You probably know that Renshu and Qingge has some misunderstanding."
Zu Fengmi, "I noticed it since she ran away. I will remind her. I will not side with those who've done wrong."
Guo Baiyu, "Thank you for your understanding."
The next morning, the group of friends stood on a dirt road with all the clan leaders. They bid farewell.
Lang Lirun said, "Grand leaders, please let us know if you need help. Our clan will be there. When I return, I will strengthen the new rules for the disciples."
Guo Baiyu, "Thank you."
When the morning sun rose upon the horizon, they drove their carriage away, leaving the united spirit clan leaders behind at the foot of Fox Mountain.
