Chapter 2727: with translation of chapter title
Under the direction of the old man and the strong man, everyone quickly packed up, and the makeshift stove that had been set up was simply taken away entirely.
That way, there's no need to go through the trouble of starting from scratch later; one just needs to take it out and it's ready.
These things naturally don't require Ye Zhangqing to worry about; after everyone had finished packing up, the group then continued on the road.
Along the way, naturally, they encountered no danger.
One reason is that the Iron Edge Tribe's reputation is displayed here.
Within the Barbarian God Tribe, few dare to provoke the Iron Edge Tribe—only a handful of tribes.
When people from other tribes see the Iron Edge Tribe, they lower their heads and actively avoid them.
On the other hand, it is the group's own strength.
Not only that, they don't rely solely on the tribe's reputation; the strength of the Iron Edge Tribe's members is also not to be underestimated in the slightest.
Anyway, along this route, Ye Zhangqing doesn't need to worry about anything else; the old man and the strong man have everything arranged perfectly.
The only thing that needs to be done is to satisfy everyone's appetite.
Anyway, after traveling a few dozen li, everyone will definitely stop to have a hearty meal.
The more this happens, the more everyone likes Ye Zhangqing; this skill is simply superb.
They have been completely conquered by Ye Zhangqing's cooking skill.
Having lived so many years, I truly have never tasted such delicious cooking before.
Meanwhile, the day after Ye Zhangqing and the others left.
When the Flame Martial Tribe's people woke up in the morning, they saw that the Black Mist Forest that had originally surrounded the Fire Spirit Tribe had completely disappeared.
"Where is the Black Mist Forest? My huge forest is gone!"
"It's terrible, the Black Mist Forest is gone; quickly go inform the clan chief and the others."
Some members of the Flame Martial Tribe immediately rushed in a panic to report to the elder clan chief.
However, the elder clan chief remained calm about this, as if he had expected it all along, showing no panic at all.
"What's there to panic about? The Black Mist Forest must have gone to find that kid Ye."
The reason the Black Mist Forest was here before was none other than because this kid Ye Zhangqing was here.
It wasn't because of their Flame Martial Tribe.
Now that Ye Zhangqing is gone, the tree ghosts in the Black Mist Forest naturally won't stay any longer.
From beginning to end, these tree ghosts never really paid any attention to the Flame Martial Tribe's people.
Put simply, it's all because of Ye Zhangqing.
Now that Ye Zhangqing has gone to the Iron Edge Tribe, the Black Mist Forest and those tree ghosts naturally followed him there.
It wouldn't be bad either; having these tree ghosts follow along the way makes Ye Zhangqing's safety more assured.
Thinking this way, the elder clan chief actually felt relieved about the departure of the Black Mist Forest's tree ghosts.
After all, these tree ghosts have simple minds and will never betray Ye Zhangqing; compared to others, they are especially reliable at times like this.
Even when facing the Iron Edge Tribe, those tree ghosts from the Black Mist Forest probably wouldn't flinch at all; they basically don't know what fear is.
He still didn't know that the tree ghosts in the Black Mist Forest had already been following him; he hadn't mentioned it before either.
At this point, Ye Zhangqing, following the Iron Edge Tribe's people, had already arrived at a place less than fifty li from the Iron Edge Tribe.
Many of the old men and strong men again ordered a stop to rest.
Watching everyone's practiced movements, even Tianlin couldn't help stepping forward to ask.
"Two seniors, didn't you say there was less than fifty li left? Why are we stopping again?"
Less than fifty li, at our speed, that's just a matter of a few steps; is there really a need to stop?
However, the old man responded lightly.
"We've walked this far; everyone is tired, and besides, there's no rush right now."
Huh???
Far? Hell, the last rest was less than two Shíchén ago, and you just ate a big bowl of noodle soup; what does that have to do with being tired?
If you want to eat, just say so.
Tianlin understood perfectly what the old man and others were thinking; wanting to eat is just wanting to eat.
Actually, the old man and his companions also have their own ulterior motives.
While on the road, everyone wanting to eat is completely without pressure.
They don't insist on eating however they want, but they can also savor it slowly.
But once they return to the tribe and introduce Ye Zhangqing to the clan chief, wouldn't the whole tribe become their competitors?
So, while there are few people now, they must eat more.
Ye Zhangqing also understood this, smiled, and promptly made another meal for everyone.
While eating, the old man and the strong man sat on either side of Ye Zhangqing and solemnly promised.
"Young friend Ye, rest assured; when we return to the tribe, I will definitely arrange everything properly for you."
"Yes, I will speak to the clan chief on your behalf; releasing you should be no problem, so just put your mind at ease."
"Thank you, seniors."
The two of them would naturally never let anything happen to Ye Zhangqing.
Moreover, the two of them are already calculating how to let Ye Zhangqing stay longer in the Iron Edge Tribe.
The food hasn't been eaten enough yet; far from it—how could the two of them bear to let Ye Zhangqing leave now?
Another round of eating and drinking to fullness—this is the last meal before returning to the tribe, so everyone present from the Iron Edge Tribe is eating something extremely precious.
After all, once they return to the tribe, it's uncertain whether they'll get another chance like this.
After eating and drinking to their fill, they rested a while longer, and then the group continued on the road.
Just as Tianlin said, this distance of less than fifty li is, judging by everyone's cultivation speed, merely a matter of two or three steps.
Soon they arrived outside the Iron Edge Tribe.
It is indeed one of the most elite large tribes of the Barbarian God Tribe.
If the Flame Martial Tribe is compared to it, the Flame Martial Tribe's territory would be equivalent to a small village.
Whereas the Iron Edge Tribe is equivalent to a prosperous city.
Not bad, it's just a city.
Looking at the Iron Edge Tribe from afar, it is not only prosperous but also heavily defended.
When Ye Zhangqing's group approached, there were already Flame Martial Tribe members waiting ahead, obviously having long detected their traces.
"Little Friend Ye, don't worry, we've got everything."
I thought Ye Zhangqing would be nervous, but the old man turned and comforted him, indicating that with them around, no one would harm Ye Zhangqing.
Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing smiled and nodded.
At the same time, the strong man stepped forward and began talking with those few tribe members.
"Tribal Elder, you've returned; everything went smoothly on the way, right?"
"Hmm, very smooth."
"Then that's good."
The 'smooth' they spoke of are completely not the same thing.
The 'smooth' the strong man spoke of was that he had actually eaten well along the way, awesome.
As for those few tribe members who came out to greet, their gazes silently fell upon Ye Zhangqing, Tianlin, and Miao Qianqian.
The Tribal Elder and they originally went out to capture these Human Race cultivators, but unexpectedly...
"Tribal Elder, how come they only captured three people?"
They went out, made a big detour, and only captured three people at the end? That's so few.
