For the past three years, the Turkic Kingdom and Great Yuan had established diplomatic relations. The Aika Tribe engaged in significant trade with Great Yuan, and its people were just starting to lead better lives. Neither Mahmoud nor his people wanted to destroy this hard-won happiness.
However, Prince Andre was a man of immense power and authority. More than a dozen tribal leaders in the Turkic Kingdom answered to him, and there were some matters where Mahmoud had no choice but to cooperate.
When it came to Guo Wei, though, he had a mind of his own. Even if he wanted to avenge Samba and restore the Aika Tribe's honor, today was not the day.
He absolutely could not let Guo Wei and his two disciples die within his tribe's territory. He even regretted colluding with Xie Xiaohuan to lure them there in the first place.
Initially, Xie Xiaohuan had enticed him with a plan to help the Aika Tribe restore its honor: let the tribe's own warriors defeat Chu Lingguang on their home turf.
