Chapter 2773

The Iron Peak Clan Chief obviously also knew that, having captured these eight people, Ye Zhangqing wanting to negotiate with the Charcoal Snake Tribe was basically impossible.

If the Iron Peak Tribe does not step forward, the Charcoal Snake Tribe would not release the people, and would even be more likely to kill them to vent anger.

Understanding Ye Zhangqing's predicament, the Iron Peak Clan Chief spoke up proactively; hearing this, Ye Zhangqing was startled and immediately wanted to refuse.

"But if we do that…………………"

"No problem, this plan changes quickly enough, but little Ye, today's two tables of feast………………"

The changes in the situation were somewhat unexpected, so the previous plan naturally could only be adjusted accordingly.

But the Iron Peak Clan Chief still had in mind today's two tables of feast; looking at it, it looked delicious, a pity he didn't get to eat it; if he could make it up, letting himself taste it………………

In the course of speaking, the Iron Peak Clan Chief wore a smile, full of anticipation; Ye Zhangqing, naturally not being vague, without waiting for the other to finish speaking, immediately indicated that he would make it up tomorrow.

Having received Ye Zhangqing's affirmative reply, the Iron Peak Clan Chief laughed loudly, and only then left satisfied.

A perfectly good feast was ruined by a single kick from that elder of the Charcoal Snake Tribe, and I myself ended up as a prisoner.

Since he had promised the Iron Peak Clan Chief, Ye Zhangqing naturally would not go back on his word; that evening the next day, he set out a feast exactly the same.

Moreover, the portion was even more plentiful than yesterday's.

The Iron Peak Clan Chief, together with all the elders, all arrived; after taking a bite, it was truly enjoyable.

It looked delicious, and upon actually taking a bite, it really was delicious.

After the feast, everyone had eaten to their heart's content and felt satisfied.

Having eaten and drunk their fill, the Iron Peak Clan Chief naturally did not forget the matter of rescuing people; at present, those eight from the Charcoal Snake Tribe are being held, and the Iron Peak Clan Chief also intends to use these eight as a breakthrough to discuss their release with the Charcoal Snake Tribe.

As for the reason, they intended to assassinate the Iron Peak Clan Chief; this reason is more than enough.

As for whether it's true or false, I say you are an assassin, then you are an assassin; there's nothing more to say.

The Iron Peak Clan Chief was determined to help Ye Zhangqing rescue people; the feast's taste was indeed good, and once the people are rescued, we must certainly hold a celebration feast.

Thinking of this, the Iron Peak Clan Chief was full of vigor; after returning, he immediately contacted Tanshe Zuzhang through the night.

In the room, through a light curtain, the Iron Peak Clan Chief saw the figure of Tanshe Zuzhang.

Through the light curtain, Tanshe Zuzhang spoke first in a tone that was neither salty nor bland.

"What else do you want? I've already sent the people; why are you still contacting me?"

Tanshe Zuzhang naturally had no good feeling toward the Iron Peak Clan Chief; previously, not knowing what madness had possessed this fellow, he insisted on sending people to the Iron Peak Tribe to negotiate with the Human Race.

He didn't understand what there was to discuss with the Human Race, but in order to save face for both sides, Tanshe Zuzhang ultimately agreed.

Anyway, it's just going through the motions; as for how the talks will end and what they'll achieve, that's none of my business.

Even if the Iron Peak Tribe still wants to say something later, he would still have the justification.

Therefore, facing the Iron Peak Clan Chief's proactive contact, Tanshe Zuzhang only felt that the other side might again be coming to speak up for those Human Race people.

He didn't understand; we are all Barbarian God Tribe, yet you Iron Peak Tribe have a screw loose, going to speak up for those Post-Heaven Human Race; you're not just full and idle, are you?

Moreover, it's not just you yourself; now you also want to meddle in the affairs of the Charcoal Snake Tribe.

My Charcoal Snake Tribe killing Human Race cultivators—what does it have to do with you?

So, before the Iron Peak Clan Chief could even speak, Tanshe Zuzhang directly cut him off.

"If it's because of the Human Race matter, then you can just stop early; what my Charcoal Snake Tribe does is none of your business."

Hearing this, the Iron Peak Clan Chief's expression remained unchanged, and he likewise replied coldly.

"I didn't mention the Human Race affair."

Huh??? Not the Human Race matter? Upon hearing this, Tanshe Zuzhang was slightly startled, then frowned slightly and said.

"Then what else is there?"

Besides those Human Race affairs, what else do these two major tribes have to discuss? Normally they might not even get in touch once in decades or centuries.

Tanshe Zuzhang truly couldn't figure out for a moment what medicine the Iron Peak Tribe was selling from its gourd.

Until the Iron Peak Clan Chief spoke unhurriedly.

"Let's talk about your Charcoal Snake Tribe elder who brought people with the intention of assassinating me."

Huh???

"What assassination?"

Hearing this, Tanshe Zuzhang was startled, then said with a suspicious look, "When did the assassination happen? I didn't send anyone."

Even Tanshe Zuzhang himself, upon hearing this, was completely bewildered; when had he ever sent someone to assassinate the Iron Peak Clan Chief?

Only after the other party explained the whole situation did Tanshe Zuzhang's face turn completely grim, gritting his teeth and saying each word deliberately.

"Do you think I'm an idiot? A clan elder leading seven ordinary tribesmen to assassinate you? And even in your Iron Peak Tribe, if you're going to frame someone, at least use your brain."

"No matter who hears this, they'll only find it absurd; even if you were a senile old clan chief, you couldn't possibly make such a decision."

"Just eight people, and you still want to go assassinate another clan chief, and on their own turf—are you treating me like a three-year-old?"

"Besides, what were those eight from the Charcoal Snake Tribe here for? Don't you Iron Peak Tribe people know it yourselves?"

"That damn thing wasn't you lot letting us come; now you're playing this trick on me, right?"

"However, the Iron Peak Clan Chief's meaning is simple: I don't need anyone to believe me; I just need to believe it myself."

"No matter what you came to the Iron Peak Tribe to do, I say you're an assassin, then you are an assassin; my word is evidence—I, as a proper clan chief, am a respected figure in the Barbarian God Tribe; how could I possibly frame you?"

The Iron Peak Clan Chief spoke with certainty, insisting that those eight from the Charcoal Snake Tribe intended to assassinate him; they have already been captured by him and are being held in the Iron Peak Tribe.

Now it's up to Tanshe Zuzhang to decide how to resolve this.

Seeing the Iron Peak Clan Chief's firm attitude, not seeming like a joke, Tanshe Zuzhang gritted his teeth and said.

"Are you Iron Peak Tribe serious?"

"What kind of talk is this? Assassinating a clan chief is such a major matter; do you think I'm playing with you?"

"You damn well know it's a major matter; since it is, you still just blurt it out—you………………"

"It seems you don't want those eight to go back."

Facing the Iron Peak Clan Chief's resolute attitude, Tanshe Zuzhang was so angry his teeth itched—what a convenient excuse to accuse someone; you Iron Peak Tribe have really learned to be wicked these years.

However, for now, with our clansmen in the other side's hands, no matter what is said, let's first see what the Iron Peak Tribe actually intends to do.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Tanshe Zuzhang said coldly.

"Just say it directly—what do you want?"

"I want justice."

"You've had enough."

You damn well are talking nonsense here—how do you have the nerve to say these two words, and you still want to talk about justice? Where is my justice? Where did it go? Even you can demand justice, it's truly unjust.
