Chapter 2730: Merely an Acquired Human Race
The reason everyone came to Ye Zhangqing's place is indeed also to have a mixed breakfast.
Now seeing Ye Zhangqing speak, everyone naturally became extremely excited.
A simple breakfast, yet it still let everyone eat to their utmost comfort.
After finishing breakfast, seeing that the time was about right, Ye Zhangqing, accompanied by dozens of people, headed all the way to the Iron Peak Clan Chief's residence.
Along the way it was mighty impressive; even the tribesmen of the Iron Peak Tribe stared in bewilderment, wondering what this show of force was for.
Those who didn't know still thought the tribe was about to make some big move.
Two elders and dozens of able-bodied tribesmen—this force is not small.
And Ye Zhangqing's three human race cultivators, amidst the crowd's escort, stood out rather conspicuously.
After all, having three human race cultivators mixed into such a grand formation looks strange no matter how you look at it.
With so many people escorting them, naturally no one went to provoke Ye Zhangqing along the way.
But in the dark, those two elders who had firmly opposed yesterday were even more gritting their teeth, their eyes full of icy hatred.
"They are simply shameless; they have thrown away all the face of my Iron Peak Tribe."
"The urgent matter is still that we ought to exterminate those human race cultivators."
"Yes, although we don't know what sorcery these humans used, they must not be spared."
Gritting their teeth, their killing intent toward Ye Zhangqing and the other human race cultivators rose another notch.
However, for now we should first wait until they meet the Clan Chief, and only after the Clan Chief loses interest can we act.
Before that, the two of them did not intend to just wait idly; instead, they first summoned several other elders.
After exchanging information, they would then jointly advise that it was necessary to slaughter those human race cultivators cleanly, including those previously captured and imprisoned.
Not yet knowing the other elders' reactions, at this moment Ye Zhangqing and his two companions had already been brought by the old man and the strong man to the Iron Peak Clan Chief's residence.
As for the others, naturally they were not qualified to enter.
The group arrived at the rear courtyard and at once saw the Iron Peak Clan Chief seated Yuàn zhōng.
Facing this one of the several prominent figures of the Barbarian God Tribe, Ye Zhangqing showed no change in expression, his face calm, and he performed the customary salute with clasped hands as usual.
"Human Race Ye Zhangqing, I have met the Iron Peak Clan Chief."
Tianlin beside him, seeing this, also hurriedly spoke to translate.
Looking at the three Ye Zhangqing before him, his attention mainly fell on the leading Ye Zhangqing.
After the Iron Peak Clan Chief sized him up from head to toe, he then spoke with interest.
"Do you want to be friends with my Barbarian God Tribe?"
Right from the start he went straight to the point; regarding Ye Zhangqing's matter, the old man and the strong man had naturally already spoken with the Iron Peak Clan Chief.
Initially there was some understanding, but such a direct question still left Ye Zhangqing startled, though he quickly came to his senses.
He didn't put on an act; instead, he frankly nodded and admitted.
"As a junior, I indeed have this intention."
"Heh, you are indeed sincere, but you are a human race—do you know the relationship between the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon and my Barbarian God Tribe?"
When the Iron Peak Clan Chief said this, there was a faint hint of teasing on his face, as if he were somewhat curious how Ye Zhangqing would answer this question.
After all, in Beyond the Heavens, the human race and the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon are mortal enemies, mutually incompatible like water and fire.
They have fought each other for many years, and behind the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon stands their Barbarian God Tribe.
Therefore, from a certain perspective, the Barbarian God Tribe and the human race ought to be hostile; just this point makes it seem impossible to become friends.
Regarding this, Ye Zhangqing naturally also understood the Iron Peak Clan Chief's meaning; after a moment of silence, he then spoke slowly.
"I certainly know, but forgive my junior's foolish opinion: what does the relationship between my human race and the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon have to do with you, Clan Chief?"
"My human race has indeed fought the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon to the death for many years, the two sides being as opposed as water and fire, but the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon should not still represent the Barbarian God Tribe, should it?"
"The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon naturally does not represent the Barbarian God Tribe, let alone the Iron Peak Tribe; even if we take the words of the Elder Clan Chief of the Flame Martial Tribe as an example."
"That Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon is nothing more than a dog raised by their Barbarian God Tribe."
"It is deliberately placed in Beyond the Heavens to bite people; it just so happened, by coincidence, to bite the human race."
"Therefore, regarding the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, the Barbarian God Tribe has never cared at all; without the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, there could still be other acquired races to be used as pawns."
"Ye Zhangqing's words also express this meaning tactfully."
"And the Iron Peak Clan Chief surely understood, a smile appearing on his face as he spoke."
"Your words are not bad; I've heard you also have superb culinary skill, is that true?"
"Changing the subject again, speaking of Ye Zhangqing's culinary skill, this is naturally also what the old man and the strong man told him."
"Moreover, culinary skill is Ye Zhangqing's greatest reliance for success; whether he can move the Iron Peak Clan Chief largely depends on this."
"Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing naturally nodded confidently."
"Immediately, the Iron Peak Clan Chief no longer wasted words, directly letting Ye Zhangqing show his hand first, and then we can talk while eating."
"The Fire Room facilities are naturally ready; Ye Zhangqing just needs to go ahead and make use of them."
"After Ye Zhangqing brought Tianlin and Miao Qianqian into the Fire Room, the Iron Peak Clan Chief turned his head to look at the old man and the strong man and smiled."
"You are quite confident, aren't you?"
"The two of them remained calm from start to finish, showing no sign of worry, obviously being very confident in Ye Zhangqing's culinary skill."
"Upon hearing this, the old man laughed and said."
"Clan Chief, we two naturally would not dare to speak nonsense; what we said earlier was not exaggerated in the slightest."
"Exactly, after a while, Clan Chief, you will know once you personally taste it."
"Facing the Clan Chief, the old man and the strong man were also not at all nervous."
"Although the Clan Chief holds extremely high prestige and absolute authority within the tribe,"
"however, he is certainly not a foolish incompetent; on the contrary, he honors the virtuous and humble, leading by example."
In his treatment of the tribespeople of the tribe, he is also most attentive, living up to the "Clan Chief" title he bears.
So in front of the Clan Chief, the elder and the sturdy man also appear quite relaxed.
Seeing the two men full of confidence, the Iron Peak Clan Chief laughed loudly and said.
"Haha, hearing you say that all along, I am indeed somewhat looking forward to it. Good, let me first taste how this human race kid's craftsmanship is."
The Iron Peak Clan Chief gives an impression of being gentle and broad-minded, yet when speaking with Ye Zhangqing, he unconsciously still has a sense of looking down from above.
But this is probably also unintentionally revealed; strictly speaking, as innate beings of the Barbarian God Tribe, they seem to look down on all acquired beings in this world.
This is not aimed at the Human Race, but is the same toward all acquired beings.
This is a gap in the level of life, fundamentally different.
While Ye Zhangqing was busy cooking on his side, in a secret chamber within the tribe, most of the tribal elders had gathered together, and leading them turned out to be the two elders from yesterday.
At this moment, looking at the people present, one of the elders said coldly.
"The matter is thus; these human race people must be killed."
