Chapter 1104

Passing through the Formation Light Curtain, Qi Xiong, Shèngzhǔ of Yunluo and the others readily agreed.

After all, the demands Xu Jie negotiated were simply too profitable.

Even after hanging up the formation, Qi Xiong couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, this kid certainly didn't choose wrong."

"Yeah, I'm willing to split the Luck Power of the four great hegemonic clans evenly."

In the hearts of the Human Race's elders, the bottom line is the Luck Power of the two great hegemonic clans.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jie managed to negotiate to this extent—good, good; this kid indeed didn't disappoint.

With the matter settled, Xu Jie left behind a Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán to facilitate communication between the two tribes.

Then he didn't linger long; under the Stone Tribe's arrangement, he departed silently.

As for the timing of the attack, everything awaits the Human Race's notice.

The Stone Tribe need do nothing; they only need to deliver a backstab at the crucial moment when the great war erupts.

A Stone Tribe Great Saint personally escorted Xu Jie away from the Stone Tribe Ancestral Land.

Having gone over a hundred li, that Stone Tribe Great Saint spoke unhappily.

"Alright, we're here; you go on your own."

"We're practically allies now; senior, there's no need to keep this attitude."

Hearing this, Xu Jie replied with a grin; the Stone Tribe Great Saint gave no reply, merely snorting coldly.

This kid is truly despicable.

"Hmph, take your time, I'm heading back."

Without a word, he turned and left; seeing this, Xu Jie didn't mind, and it's understandable that the Stone Tribe still harbors some resentment—after all, who made their Luck Golden Dragon be taken by the Human Race?

However, having completed the task satisfactorily, Xu Jie was also very pleased and set off straight for the Human Race's location.

This contact with the Stone Tribe went smoothly; when Xu Jie returned to the Human Race, the elders praised him highly.

"Xu kid, not bad; I didn't misjudge you."

"Haha, this time you've made merit, Xu kid; rest assured, rewards won't miss you."

"Elders, how about something substantive? What about the big meal you mentioned earlier?"

Xu Jie didn't feel like eating these pancakes; he had previously said he would have Ye Zhangqing prepare a big meal for him.

Now that I've perfectly completed the mission, shouldn't that big meal be fulfilled?

Hearing this, the elders were startled, then burst out laughing.

"Fine, no problem; tonight let Ye Zhangqing arrange the big meal."

The elders readily agreed.

That evening, Ye Zhangqing indeed prepared a big meal.

But when Xu Jie arrived and saw who was at the table, his face darkened instantly.

"I say, elders, this is no fun."

"What's wrong? Isn't this the big meal you wanted?"

"It is a big meal, but do you think I can actually get to eat?"

Look at those seated at the table—all the elders have come, plus Master Hong Zun.

With this lineup, can a minor Heavenly Human realm cultivator like Xu Jie even get to eat?

Yet the elders had no intention of leaving the table; after all, they'd finally persuaded Ye Zhangqing to cook a big meal—how could they possibly give it up?

Immediately, Qi Xiong laughed and said.

"Xu kid, you're overthinking; we're old—how would we snatch food from a junior like you? How about this: for this meal, none of us will use our cultivation; would that work?"

"Huh???"

Hearing this, Xu Jie felt doubtful, his gaze sweeping over everyone at the table as he asked seriously.

"Really?"

"Absolutely certain."

If we don't use cultivation, there's still room to maneuver; even if we still lose out, it wouldn't come to not getting a single bite.

Seeing Qi Xiong nod firmly, Xu Jie gave it no further thought, nodded, and took his seat.

As long as nobody uses cultivation, it's fine to discuss.

But as exquisite dishes were served one after another, Xu Jie felt he'd been tricked.

Because of Qi Xiong's following words.

"Come, everyone, don't stand on ceremony—dig in. This meal is to welcome Xu kid; everyone, first fill your cups."

Saying that, everyone raised their cups and drank a cup of wine; afterward, Xu Jie felt his body unable to move.

His face sank sharply; glancing left and right at the people already wolfing down their food, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Elders, is this what you meant by not using cultivation?"

"We haven't used any cultivation, Xu kid—what's wrong with you? Aren't you going to eat such delicious food?"

"I think you're just exhausted from days of rushing, so your appetite's poor."

"Oh, I see; it's also my fault for not thinking it through. Since you're tired, Xu kid, you should rest early—these foods can't go to waste, so we old fogies will reluctantly help you finish them."

Listening to the elders chatter back and forth, Xu Jie's mouth twitched.

You old fogies, dare you be even more shameless?

Is it that I don't want to eat? Hell, I can't even move a finger right now—I'm being suppressed by the cultivation of a bunch of Emperor-level experts; Xu Jie can't move at all.

Although this pressure is gentle, Xu Jie still can't break free.

"I say, elders, this is no fun at all... you guys... sob sob sob..."

His body couldn't move; Xu Jie could only open his mouth to speak, but before he could finish, the next second his mouth was also sealed.

He could only make a wuu wuu wuu sound; in response, the elders' answer was.

Really, I'm tired, I've even started yawning.

Yeah, Xu Jie, if you're really tired, you should go back to your room to rest early; you don't need to worry about things here.

Not bad, you've rendered great service this time; if you're tired, go rest early.

"I#￥%#￥%@#"

Hearing the elders talk over each other, Xu Jie seethed inside, cursing.

Do I fucking need rest? Do I actually want rest? If you're capable, lift the pressure; if you're capable, don't rely on cultivation.

Indeed, that little old thing's words are unbearable; even juniors bully me. While eating a meal, from start to finish you've been suppressing me with your cultivation—is there any justice? If you're capable, release me.

Watching everyone eat happily, Xu Jie, who could only stand aside and watch, felt indignant and humiliated.

I had long known this bunch of old things were dark-hearted; it's a shame that I actually once believed these old fogies.

Thinking they would actually pour soup for me to drink—how naive, utterly naive.

As expected, after the meal, Xu Jie only got some scraps and leftovers; everything else was eaten up by the elders.

Huh, Xu Jie, you haven't left yet? How come, you're tired? Come, I'll personally see you back to your room.

They were already gritting their teeth; only then did Qi Xiong feign a shocked expression, turning his head to look at Xu Jie—his expression seemed as if he had just discovered Xu Jie hadn't left, and even more, he wanted to personally send himself back to his room.

Seeing Qi Xiong's expression, Xu Jie's mouth twitched, and he couldn't be bothered to reply: 'Whether I leave or not, you yourselves know? I do want to leave, but can I actually get away?'
