Chapter 2717: First, surround them

Never expected the Flame Martial Tribe would still dare to threaten me; this old man of the Iron Peak Tribe, at this moment furious, let out a bitter laugh and said.

He simply didn't believe it—could the people of the Flame Martial Tribe really dare to lay a hand on him?

Yet facing the old man's cold smile, the Flame Martial Tribe Elder Clan Chief appeared completely at ease, even with a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth as he said.

"If you don't hand it over, then you won't be going back."

"You dare."

"First, surround them."

"Attack."

Since a decision had been made, the Elder Clan Chief was naturally not one to hesitate, and this old man of the Iron Peak Tribe even more so shouted angrily.

"Rebellious, simply rebellious—such a tiny Flame Martial Tribe actually dares to attack him!"

"Isn't this like breaking ground on Tai Sui's head?"

Instantly, tensions rose between the two sides, giving the impression they were about to come to blows.

And if anyone were most confused at this moment, it would undoubtedly be the Fire Spirit Tribe.

They had originally invited the Iron Peak Tribe's people to garrison here in order to prevent retaliation from the Flame Martial Tribe, aiming to make the Flame Martial Tribe wary and forced to leave on their own.

But who would have thought the Flame Martial Tribe's people would be so bold, daring to mess with even the Iron Peak Tribe's Elder Clan Chief?

This goes beyond mere boldness; it's outright lawlessness.

I had thought that with the Iron Peak Tribe's Elder Clan Chief appearing, at least he could intimidate the Flame Martial Tribe's people.

But I never expected the Flame Martial Tribe to be completely berserk—not only daring to mess with our Fire Spirit Tribe, but not even taking the Iron Peak Tribe seriously.

Huoming and his son stared wide‑eyed, their only thought about the Flame Martial Tribe's people being: brave, truly brave.

However, facing the Iron Peak Tribe Elder Clan Chief's angry shout, the Fire Spirit Tribe's people also dared not delay, immediately preparing to act.

The Flame Martial Tribe are a bunch of lunatics, completely berserk, but we're not like that—we wouldn't dare offend the Iron Peak Tribe.

Thus, the two sides immediately launched into a full‑scale battle.

But the outcome was easily foreseeable: although the Iron Peak Tribe is strong, they had only sent two people.

Perhaps at first the Iron Peak Tribe thought that merely sending people over, relying solely on their tribe's reputation, would be enough to intimidate the Flame Martial Tribe.

But who would have imagined the Flame Martial Tribe's people wouldn't buy that at all—indeed, they acted as if they had swallowed a bear's heart and a leopard's gall, showing no fear whatsoever.

Thus, relying only on that illusory reputation, it was clear they couldn't suppress the Flame Martial Tribe, especially with the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts lending aid.

So even if the Fire Spirit Tribe's people had fought with all their might, in the end they were still defeated and driven back.

Afterward, the entire Fire Spirit Tribe was completely encircled by the Black Mist Forest.

At this moment, the Iron Peak Tribe's old and young, together with the Fire Spirit Tribe's people, could not leave the tribe a single step.

Wounded, this old man who had retreated to the Fire Spirit Tribe gritted his teeth, making a grating sound, and said fiercely.

"Rebellious, rebellious—I will surely exterminate this Flame Martial Tribe!"

"Who do you intend to wipe out?"

"You………………who let you in?"

While this old man was still shouting his curses, the next second the Flame Martial Tribe Elder Clan Chief, Qi Wu, and Ye Zhangqing, along with their entourage, swaggered into the courtyard.

This is the residence of the Fire Spirit Tribe's Clan Chief, but now the Flame Martial Tribe's group walks about as if they were strolling through their own backyard.

Seeing the crowd enter, the old man immediately shouted his curses.

In response, Qi Wu grinned and said.

"Who gave permission? Do we need anyone's permission to come here? Stop the nonsense—I have something to discuss with you."

"You………………are you truly not afraid of death, Flame Martial Tribe?"

"We've come this far, and you're still talking nonsense."

Since we've already done it, we're naturally not afraid; besides, what use is fear?

Seeing that the Flame Martial Tribe gives no face at all, the Iron Peak Tribe Elder Clan Chief also realized that his little bit of prestige was utterly useless.

Although I don't know why the Flame Martial Tribe suddenly grew so bold, when circumstances are stronger than a person, if they truly want to kill me, there's really nothing I can do.

Therefore, even though his heart burns with anger, the Iron Peak Tribe Elder Clan Chief is no fool; he knows when to speak and when not to, and at times like this one shouldn't gamble with one's own life.

For now, let's just endure this; wait for tribal reinforcements to arrive, then slowly settle accounts with this lot.

Having thought this through, the old man also forcibly suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth, and said.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Moments later, Ye Zhangqing's group, the old man, and the youth took their seats in the courtyard.

We came here mainly so that Ye Zhangqing and the others could learn about the current situation of the other people.

When faced with Ye Zhangqing's inquiry, this old man also recognized the reality and was, as it were, forthcoming with everything he knew.

Anyway, with no other choice at present, he never expected to encounter such a bunch of lunatics who dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head.

For now, let's just keep them in check; later we'll slowly deal with them—after all, we must make the Flame Martial Tribe know the consequences.

Under Ye Zhangqing's questioning, the old man also gave a truthful account of everyone's situation.

Actually, there's not much to say—after the group entered the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm, because they were unfamiliar with this realm,

just like Ye Zhangqing's group, they wandered around exploring, and without realizing it, entered the Iron Peak Tribe's territory.

Upon being discovered by the Iron Peak Tribe's people, unlike the Flame Martial Tribe, or rather, the group also lacked Ye Zhangqing's abilities.

They were quickly subdued by the Iron Peak Tribe's people.

Afterward they were taken back to the Iron Peak Tribe and imprisoned; they suffered some hardship, but there was no real threat to their lives.

Having answered Ye Zhangqing's question, the old man let out a cold laugh and said.

"Do you want to rescue people?"

Upon hearing this, after Tianlin's translation, Ye Zhangqing also did not conceal anything, but simply nodded in affirmation.

"Yes, we indeed entered this realm unintentionally, and we harbor no hostility toward the Barbarian God Tribe. Senior, if you are willing to release the people, then regarding the previous matters, we juniors are willing to apologize and make amends."

"Heh………………"

"If it can be resolved peacefully, Ye Zhangqing naturally does not want to break ties with the Iron Peak Tribe; even though the Elder Clan Chief of the Flame Martial Tribe has already spoken, they the Flame Martial Tribe also have a background, and are not inferior to the Iron Peak Tribe."

"However, the two sides originally had no grudge; as long as the Iron Peak Tribe is willing to release the people, even if we previously suffered some hardship and bitterness at their hands, we can grit our teeth and accept it."

"But upon hearing this, the old man merely gave a heh heh laugh, paused for a moment, and then said."

"\"You have detained this old man here, and now you say there is no grudge? \""

"\"We juniors only want to rescue our companions; we have no other choice. \""

"In response, Ye Zhangqing replied calmly. Seeing his frankness, the old man stared fixedly at Ye Zhangqing for a while, to the point that even the Elder Clan Chief felt a bit uneasy and could not help but step in front of Ye Zhangqing."

"\"Don't act recklessly. \""

"\"Heh, I didn't intend to fight, kid. You say you're willing to make amends, but what good thing can you produce? \""
