Chapter 2592: What flavor, so fragrant!

Now the Sea God has completely lost contact; the Heavenly Spirit Tribe can only hold their nose and first pacify the many Human Race cultivators before saying more.

After all, if they fought, they would surely have no chance of winning.

Even the other few Heavenly Spirit Tribe elders followed Ling Yunyi's grandfather's example, first pacifying these Human Race cultivators.

Although the many Human Race cultivators were cursing left and right, they did not take any extreme action.

At most, they just sat idly by the sea for a little over one Shíchén, wasting some time.

There's no need to make a big fuss.

Seeing the Human Race cultivators all leave, the few Heavenly Spirit Tribe elders finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After seeing them off, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe elders silently went to the tribe's main hall.

Each sat cross-legged on their own stone platform, silent, with grim expressions.

After a long while, someone finally spoke.

"What's the situation with the Sea God?"

As for that, the other elders didn't answer; they had no idea what was going on, and still haven't made contact.

Everyone is numb; right now they have no idea what happened, anyway they just can't see any trace.

"What should we do next?"

"We don't know about the Sea God's side; should we continue with the plan?" a Heavenly Spirit Tribe elder asked.

From the current situation, this plan has obviously failed; after great difficulty we lured the Human Race onto the Altar, yet the Sea God didn't come—what is this?

Faced with that elder's question, the other elders fell silent for a moment, then spoke.

"First stabilize the Human Race, wait until we contact the Sea God, then look for an opportunity."

"You still want to continue?"

Just as those words were spoken, Ling Yunyi's grandfather let out an angry shout: "Damn it, at this point, these guys still want to continue?"

His eyes widened in anger, full of fury; facing Ling Yunyi's grandfather's gaze, the remaining elders all fell silent.

If it were before, they would surely have objected on the spot, but after experiencing the previous failure, they obviously lack confidence.

After all, they had planned so much, yet the problem arose in the very place that should not have gone wrong, causing the failure.

Only that elder who had always insisted on loyalty to the Sea God spoke up then.

"This time it's just an accident; as long as we wait until we contact the Sea God, we can still succeed."

Looking at that elder who had always opposed him, Ling Yunyi's grandfather almost laughed in anger.

He merely gave a cold snort and bluntly said:

"Success? Do you even believe the words you just said? After this outcome, can you still trick the Human Race next time? Do you really think they're fools?"

"Moreover, after this incident, do you still think the Sea God is more reliable than the Human Race? How to choose—don't you understand yet?"

"Dropping the chain at a critical moment—this, in Ling Yunyi's grandfather's view, is just a sign of unreliability."

Moreover, the Sea God's side probably has some problem; at least they are preoccupied.

They can't even take care of themselves, yet they still want to manage you?

If they continue to pledge loyalty to the Sea God, the likely result is being directly wiped out by the Human Race.

If they truly become enemies with the Human Race and the Human Race launches a major invasion, what will they have to defend with?

If by then the Sea God is still like this and they can't make contact, what will the Heavenly Spirit Tribe do?

Wouldn't that just mean being directly wiped out by the Human Race?

Such a simple matter, and these guys still can't see it? They insist on dying loyal to the Sea God.

"Hmph, what kind of talk is this? I, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, have worshipped the Sea God for so many years—do you still think it's not worth as much as a mere Human Race in your heart?"

"That's two different matters."

"No, this is just one matter."

"Alright, you don't need to argue; first temporarily stabilize the Human Race, everything can wait until we contact the Sea God."

"Right, I agree."

"I also agree."

"You guys………………………"

Ling Yunyi's grandfather and that elder each held their own view, arguing heatedly, while the other few elders subsequently spoke up one after another.

Their meaning was the same: first temporarily pacify the Human Race, everything can wait until we contact the Sea God.

Everyone else agreed, leaving only Ling Yunyi's grandfather; even though he firmly disagreed, there was nothing he could do.

He could only angrily flick his sleeves and leave.

In his view, the others were simply seeking their own death; even now they still wait for contact—contact what nonsense.

If they truly wait for the Human Race to notice something, and then cannot contact the Sea God, that will be the Heavenly Spirit Tribe's doom.

Seeing Ling Yunyi's grandfather flick his sleeves and leave, the other few elders also did not try to stop him; after further discussion, they each dispersed.

That night, after leaving the Heavenly Spirit Tribe and making a round, Ye Zhangqing's group returned, laden with a full haul, and quietly re-entered the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

The true self returned, having dispelled the external incarnation; nothing aroused suspicion from the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

Having returned safely to the residence, Xu Jie's smile could not be contained.

This harvest was truly not small; nearby, they basically secured all the Sea God ingredients.

Only those red points too far away remain untouched for now.

After all, according to the distance marked on the water droplet, the places where those Sea God ingredients are located are no longer in the world of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

Rather, they are extremely distant; at such a distance, even rushing would consume considerable time.

Moreover, with so many ingredients on hand now, they should be enough for the time being; there's no rush to look for another opportunity later.

"Let's rest first."

Seeing Xu Jie's fiery expression, Ye Zhangqing knew what he was thinking.

But it's already late; if you want to eat, let's talk about it tomorrow.

Hearing that, Xu Jie was a bit disappointed, but didn't say more, merely nodding.

Everyone returned to their rooms; those who Xiūliàn Xiūliàn, those who rested rested.

The next morning, Ye Zhangqing had just gotten up when Xu Jie had already cleaned the stove.

"Junior Brother, let's eat."

"Shī xiōng, you……"

"It's not early; we've been waiting for you for over one Shíchén."

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing saw Zhao Zhengping, Huang Lao, and the Heavenly Family, Wushen Palace Elders waiting in the Yuàn zhōng, and helplessly nodded.

Eating Sea God ingredients first thing in the morning is a bit over the top.

Just as Ye Zhangqing began making breakfast, several Heavenly Spirit Tribe elders came to visit in person.

They said they were making up for yesterday's negligence, but in fact they came to appease Huang Lao.

After all, Huang Lao is the strongest of the Human Race; as long as he is stable, other Human Race cultivators won't cause trouble.

Even to show importance, all the Heavenly Spirit Tribe Elders came, none missing, including Ling Yunyi's grandfather.

Even though he was extremely unwilling, he was still dragged over by others.

Just as they stepped into the Yuàn zhōng, several Heavenly Spirit Tribe Elders smelled a rich fragrance, inhaled deeply, and couldn't help murmuring praise.

"How fragrant! What is this smell?"

"Can Human Race spiritual food be this fragrant?"
