Chapter 2783: What do you mean by that?

The plan succeeded, but not completely; indeed, for the younger brother of the Tanshe Zuzhang, it was still a major problem.

Originally, according to his plan, the poison prepared by Zhao Tianqing could definitely not kill the Tanshe Zuzhang.

After all, what cultivation level Zhao Tianqing has and what cultivation level the Tanshe Zuzhang has—affecting part of their strength would already be considered a success.

But who could have imagined that Zhao Tianqing would be so fierce; a dose of that potent poison directly killed someone.

Now it's fine; it should have been the Iron Peak Clan Chief who beheaded his own elder brother, so this blame wouldn't fall on his younger brother.

By then, when he takes over the Charcoal Snake Tribe, resistance will be much smaller.

But now the person is gone; everyone present saw with their own eyes that it was he, as the younger brother, who poisoned his own elder brother to death.

Not only is it fratricide, but the method is also so despicable—this damn well isn't a major problem?

The Barbarian God Tribe also cares about face; who the hell would choose someone who publicly harms his kin and uses such a vile means as poison to be clan chief?

If this gets out, it's not just their family's affair; the whole Charcoal Snake Tribe will lose face along with them.

Thus, the clan elder who came to his senses would glare at him and shout angrily.

You damn well just want to kill—can't you hide a bit? In front of so many people, don't you have any shame?

Faced with the clan elder's angry shout, the younger brother of the Tanshe Zuzhang was stunned for a moment, completely unsure how to respond, "Am I the one taking the blame?"

Speechless, he could only look toward the Iron Peak Clan Chief, seeking help.

At this moment, the Iron Peak Clan Chief, who also understood everything, had an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Actually, he had understood this from the beginning; it's just that this blame had no effect on the Iron Peak Clan Chief whatsoever.

Moreover, the younger brother of the Tanshe Zuzhang had given him a lot, so he naturally couldn't refuse.

If he were to strike and kill the Tanshe Zuzhang, spreading the news would only make people think the Iron Peak Clan Chief's skill is superior and his strength greater, which would be advantageous to him.

Furthermore, the Iron Peak Tribe and the Charcoal Snake Tribe have always been in a state of hostility.

As the chief of the Iron Peak Tribe, killing the chief of the Charcoal Snake Tribe naturally poses no problem.

But if that person were replaced by the younger brother of the Tanshe Zuzhang, that would be a major problem.

You poisoned your own elder brother, you fraternal kin—won't people point at your spine and stab you to death?

Thus, the younger brother of the Tanshe Zuzhang's face looks so grim at this moment.

However, at this moment the Iron Peak Clan Chief suddenly realized this seemed like an opportunity.

So, facing the pleading gaze of the Tanshe Zuzhang's younger brother, the Iron Peak Clan Chief directly chose to ignore it; now is not the time for him to step forward.

At that very moment, seeing the Tanshe Zuzhang's younger brother still unresponsive, the clan elder who had just shouted angrily again demanded in an angry voice.

"I'm asking you—why did you poison the clan chief? You're brothers!"

"I……………"

Being constantly questioned, the younger brother of the Tanshe Zuzhang was at a loss for words, opened his mouth, and for a moment didn't know how to answer.

How should I say it? I wanted to be clan chief, so I killed my own elder brother?

Although the two brothers are related by blood, from childhood onward the Tanshe Zuzhang has never treated him well, and there's no affection between them.

Otherwise, when he was young he wouldn't have gone to Beyond the Heavens, nor would he have mingled for a time in the Human Race's Heavenly Palace.

"But these words…………………"

"Come on, speak—how come you can't speak now?"

While he was feeling vexed inside, the clan elder kept urging him, so the younger brother of the Tanshe Zuzhang simply darkened his face, gritted his teeth, and spoke coldly.

"Brothers? Hah, are your eyes all blind? Over all these years, when has he ever treated me as a brother?"

Saying that, he also gave the corpse of the Tanshe Zuzhang an icy stare; those wide, glaring eyes seemed to still be voicing his inner resentment.

But at this moment, in the eyes of the Tanshe Zuzhang's younger brother, there was no longer any pretense; the resentment accumulated over the years erupted fully.

"From childhood to now, how many times has he wanted to kill me—don't you know?"

"For the position of clan chief, he's always wanted to get rid of you—don't you know?"

"I've been driven to desperation by him several times, even forced to leave Shenjie and go to Beyond the Heavens—do you think I wanted to go sightseeing? Back then, if I didn't leave, I would have died; why didn't you speak of brotherly love then? Now you come to me talking about brotherly love."

After a series of questions, all the clan elders of the Charcoal Snake Tribe present fell silent.

They naturally knew these things, but back then they had no choice.

Back then, the Tanshe Zuzhang was indeed the most suitable candidate for clan chief; as for his younger brother, he was too young to act independently.

Therefore, facing some of the clan chief's decisions, they could only turn a blind eye for the sake of the tribe's greater good.

But these are facts; they have nothing to say.

Seeing several clan elders remain silent, the younger brother of the Tanshe Zuzhang snorted coldly, full of contempt, and said.

"What, you have nothing to say now? Back when he did those things, did he ever consider so-called brotherly love, and did any of you ever advise him even once?"

"Now you come to me talking about brotherly love—don't you find that ridiculous?"

Perhaps struck in his hidden vulnerability, the clan elder who had just spoken flushed with anger and retorted.

"Times change, circumstances differ; moreover, you're alive and well, yet you poisoned your brother—that's a fact."

"Hah, what a fine 'times change'—you really have no shame left."

"Poisoning your brother is nothing but a bid for the clan chief position, but my Charcoal Snake Tribe will absolutely not allow someone who killed his brother to sit in that position."

Seeing that he was in the wrong, the clan elder simply said outright.

After he spoke, the other clan elders present seemed to agree with his view, none offering rebuttal, instead choosing to acquiesce.

Regardless of past events, his Charcoal Snake Tribe simply cannot afford to lose face over this person.

Faced with this outcome, the younger brother of the Tanshe Zuzhang was not surprised; he coldly glanced at the several clan elders.

He knew they would say that; before the tribe's reputation, everything else is irrelevant.

But right now the person he poisoned is dead; as for the clan chief position, one can only say, "If not me, then who?"

At this point, trying to make him back down is absolutely impossible.

Thinking this, the younger brother of Tanshe Zuzhang said nothing more, directly turned his head to look at Iron Peak Clan Chief, his eyes filled with mad determination and said.

"Iron Peak Clan Chief, please help me."

As soon as these words were spoken, several elders of the Charcoal Snake Tribe immediately became on guard, wondering, does this matter still involve the Iron Peak Tribe? Have they secretly joined forces already?

However, facing the gazes of everyone, Iron Peak Clan Chief said with an innocent expression.

"What do you mean by that? I don't understand."
