Chapter 2652: You call this locking people up?

They were stunned for a long time before the men slowly came to their senses, each looking at the others in silence.

They had thought that the appearance of these outsiders would bring some danger, and even the Elder Clan Chief had initially attached great importance to it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have, upon hearing Qi Taihang mention the outsiders, immediately had the Elder Clan Chief lead the tribe's strong warriors out to investigate.

Wasn't it just because they were afraid of this potential danger?

After all the hustle and bustle, these outsiders couldn't even beat a group of women from their tribe.

For a moment, many men felt a mixture of emotions.

With such strength, how dare they enter the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm?

In this realm, they'd likely be in constant danger of losing their lives—even a Fire Spirit Chicken could probably kill them.

Unable to figure it out, the Elder Clan Chief spoke up.

"Where are the people now?"

"They're right in the tribe."

"Take me there."

Although full of doubts, he still wanted to see those people first before saying anything.

Upon hearing that, the woman who had been leading nodded in agreement, but on the way there she still hinted at things indirectly.

"Clan Chief, these outsiders actually pose no danger."

"I can see that."

Upon hearing that, the Elder Clan Chief replied with a blank expression.

"If you can't even beat this group of women, isn't that proof there's no danger?"

After that, the woman continued speaking.

"Besides, Clan Chief, I think these outsiders are not bad; they haven't done anything, and among them there's a little fellow who's quite skilled at Chúyì."

"What do you want to say?"

Having heard the woman's words, after listening for a long time the Elder Clan Chief still didn't understand what she meant, and immediately turned his head, frowned, and asked.

Upon hearing that, the woman was momentarily at a loss for words, and just then arrived at the place where Ye Zhangqing and his companions were being held.

Just looking at the tent before him, the Elder Clan Chief felt somewhat suspicious.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"This tent is quite large—isn't it exactly the place they use to receive guests?"

"Whenever people from other tribes visit, they always put them up here."

"It's not to see those outsiders—why did you bring me here?"

Faced with the Elder Clan Chief's questioning, the woman hesitated.

"Clan Chief, those outsiders are being held right here."

"Huh???"

Upon hearing that, the Elder Clan Chief was obviously stunned for a moment—"You've locked people up here? You're not just talking nonsense, is this what you call locking them up?"

He gave the woman a strange look, and the Elder Clan Chief always felt that this woman was odd.

"You don't even know where to lock people up?"

But for now he didn't think much of it, just stepped forward and walked into the tent.

He didn't even knock, after all he was coming to see a bunch of prisoners—what courtesy was needed?

With a bang, he shoved the door open—but as soon as he entered, the words on the Elder Clan Chief's lips were choked off.

All he saw was a group of Human Race cultivators he'd never seen before, each lying about like old men in various spots of the room.

Meanwhile, one of the tribe's Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons was busy running back and forth pouring tea, his face bruised and swollen, obviously having been beaten.

"What the hell is going on?"

After scanning the surroundings, the Elder Clan Chief indicated he somewhat couldn't make sense of it.

"Are you treating these prisoners like this, or are you entertaining honored guests?"

Numbly turning his head toward the woman, he asked mechanically.

"Is this what you meant by locking people up?"

"This…………………"

Upon hearing that, the woman also fell silent, and that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, seeing the Elder Clan Chief's group approach, no longer bothered to attend to everyone; immediately tears and snot streamed down, he fell to his knees with a thud, and shouted loudly in the Barbarian God Tribe's language.

"I pay my respects to my god, my god………………"

"Shut up."

He still wanted to pour out his grievances, but the Elder Clan Chief gave him no chance to speak; now he just wanted to know what was going on.

Meanwhile, Ye Zhangqing also reacted quickly, already rising and clasping his hands.

"I am Ye Zhangqing of the Human Race; I pay my respects to all you seniors."

Saying that, he also glanced at the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon; although extremely unwilling, it nevertheless hurriedly acted as translator.

With the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's translation, everyone was finally able to converse normally.

Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the Elder Clan Chief frowned slightly and said.

"Human Race? How did you come to my tribe's Shenjie?"

"This……………… I dare not conceal it from you seniors; we actually don't know either—we were simply brought here against our will."

Ye Zhangqing repeated what he had told the women earlier.

Upon hearing that, the Elder Clan Chief naturally didn't fully believe it, but also didn't outright deny it.

Mainly because he had scanned the people in the room; the two strongest were roughly on par with the woman beside him.

With such strength, to claim they had the guts to invade Shenjie, the Elder Clan Chief himself didn't believe it.

Unless there's something wrong with their head, they're just looking to die.

From this perspective, these humans indeed seem unlikely to actively intrude into Shenjie.

They don't have that ability.

But how could Shenjie forcibly drag people from Beyond the Heavens? This has never happened before.

Meanwhile, before the Elder Clan Chief could speak, the woman beside him seized the opportunity and spoke.

"Clan Chief, the kid I just mentioned—his Chúyì is not bad; you can give it a try."

Huh???

As soon as those words were out, the Elder Clan Chief stared, then immediately turned his head toward the woman with displeasure and snapped at her in a low voice.

"Is now the time to talk about eating? What time is it?"

I'm talking about serious matters, and you're telling me this kid's Chúyì is good, asking me to taste it—can't you tell priorities?

After being scolded by the Elder Clan Chief, the woman didn't dare speak another word; the next second her husband dragged her aside, and all that could be heard was the two speaking softly.

"What's wrong with you today? You're acting crazy."

"When did I go crazy? I'm speaking the truth."

Huh???

"That kid's Chúyì is genuinely good; I'm thinking of sparing his life."

"You're sick, speaking up for an outsider."

"Is his Chúyì really that good?"

"What would I gain by lying to you?"

"Just wait and act according to my cue later."

The couple spoke softly, while the Elder Clan Chief had already taken the main seat and began asking everyone some questions.

The questions mainly concerned the Human Race itself and Beyond the Heavens.

In response, the people didn't exactly answer fluently, but they handled it adequately.

In terms of strength, the people are no match for the Barbarian God Tribe, but when it comes to eloquence, they have that skill.

After a round of sparring, everyone felt that fooling this bunch of Barbarian God Tribe was still a smooth, easy task, without much pressure.

After some interaction, the Elder Clan Chief also gradually let down his guard.

In his mind, he had already categorized Ye Zhangqing and his companions as posing little threat.

This is partly due to being duped, but more likely it's confidence in their own strength.

Regarding this group's strength, the Elder Clan Chief could say that even if all the men of the tribe died, leaving only the elderly, weak, women, and children, they could still easily suppress them—that's how confident he is.
