Chapter 2785: There Are Also Unexpected Gains

「Please, Second Master, you must give an explanation today. 」

The clan elder spoke with a firm expression; upon hearing his words, the younger brother of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's face instantly darkened.

You idiot, you still haven't seen the situation clearly by now, while the Iron Peak Tribe folks nearby are still watching like tigers, and you're telling me this?

What explanation now?

With an ugly expression, he glared at the clan elder, and the younger brother of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief said coldly.

"We'll talk about this later."

"No, this old man wants to speak now."

Facing the cold shout of the younger brother of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief, the clan elder showed no intention of backing down, gritted his teeth, and spoke with a determined expression.

Seeing this, the younger brother of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's face grew even uglier.

This old thing is truly impervious to persuasion.

His teeth grinding, he couldn't be bothered to waste more words with him, and the younger brother of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief finally warned.

"Now is not the time to talk about this; I'll speak about this matter first, then we can talk later."

This old man demands an explanation now.

You're asking for death.

Hmph, the Charcoal Snake Tribe will never tolerate someone who harms his brothers becoming clan chief; this old man is the first to object.

As the two completely broke ties, the clan elders of the Charcoal Snake Tribe present quickly split into two factions.

One faction consists of those supporting the younger brother of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief, people he has gradually won over over the years, and they unconditionally support him.

The other faction is led by that clan elder, loyal to the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief.

Upon seeing the clan chief poisoned by his own brother, they all felt indignant resentment.

At this moment, the two sides faced off, the atmosphere instantly became tense and ready to explode, and nobody would back down.

Meanwhile, facing the growing smell of gunpowder, the Iron Peak Tribe chief and his entourage had no intention of leaving, merely retreating to the side.

They watched the internal strife of the Charcoal Snake Tribe with interest, having no intention of intervening.

The Charcoal Snake Tribe descending into chaos is, for the Iron Peak Tribe chief, surely good news.

This spectacle before them made the Iron Peak Tribe chief's heart bloom with joy.

I never expected this trip to bring such an unexpected delight.

Originally I only planned to gain a little advantage, but unexpectedly now there is even an opportunity to swallow the entire Charcoal Snake Tribe.

He secretly weighed the strength of both sides.

Although the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief is dead, his younger brother, having endured many years in the tribe, has indeed won over many people and secretly accumulated considerable strength.

But compared to his own elder brother, the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief, he is still considerably lacking.

Just looking at these clan elders present, only three have firmly chosen to side with the younger brother of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief.

While the other clan elders are die-hard loyalists of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief.

Even though the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief has already perished, these people still have not chosen to betray.

In response, the younger brother of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's face naturally turned extremely ugly.

Now things have become troublesome; if an internal war breaks out, who will ultimately benefit?

Even with your toes you could figure out that the one who will ultimately benefit is surely the Iron Peak Tribe.

Don't you see the Iron Peak Tribe chief and his lot are just over there watching the show?

Moreover, while others don't know, he is very clear that the people the Iron Peak Tribe has brought this time are far more than just those present.

These are the ones he summoned; naturally he knows that, besides the few Iron Peak Tribe chiefs present, the other Iron Peak Tribe elders have probably already secretly arrived at the Charcoal Snake Tribe.

They are lying in ambush all around, waiting for an opportunity to act.

Right now, as they fight among themselves, only the Iron Peak Tribe will benefit.

The younger brother of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief is all too aware of the crux of the matter.

But stubbornly, that old fool is dead set on getting an explanation; even as the two sides face off, that old fool coldly barks without moving an inch.

"No matter what today, you must give an explanation; for poisoning the clan chief, even if you are brothers, you cannot escape blame even with ten thousand deaths."

"You...... idiot."

"If you don't give this explanation, this old man will take it himself."

In an instant, the gunpowder smell in the scene was pushed to its peak.

All that could be seen was the younger brother of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief still wanting to say something, but that clan elder gave him no chance at all and struck first.

Although his own power within the Charcoal Snake Tribe is inferior to that of the late Charcoal Snake Clan Chief, facing the attack of that old fool, the younger brother of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief could not possibly surrender helplessly.

In an instant, the two sides tangled together, nobody willing to back down.

The battle instantly razed the small courtyard where everyone was.

And the violent shockwaves of the battle shot straight up within the tribe, naturally alerting all the Charcoal Snake Tribe members at once.

All the members of the Charcoal Snake Tribe rushed out of their homes, looking at the clan elders locked in fierce combat, each one utterly bewildered.

How could these clan elders be fighting each other? What is going on?

"Second Master poisoned the clan chief; everyone, hear my order: seize Second Master and call the tribe to account."

Seeing many tribespeople with puzzled faces, the clan elder who was grappling with the younger brother of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief immediately bellowed coldly.

Upon hearing this, the younger brother of the Charcoal Snake Clan Chief's teeth ground together, his whole face flushing red with anger.

That old fool, is he trying to destroy the Charcoal Snake Tribe?

But there's no way to refute it, after all what that old fool said is true.

And many members of the Charcoal Snake Tribe, upon hearing this, first fell silent.

They could not believe the clan chief had actually died.

It was still fine this morning; how did it just disappear like that?

His feelings were mixed, but as he came to his senses, clansmen began to join the battle.

Someone took the lead, and naturally the others weren't about to show weakness.

Moreover, within the Charcoal Snake Tribe there naturally existed factional divisions.

Some were loyal to the Tanshe Zuzhang, others loyal to his younger brother.

Thus, for a time, many clansmen of the Charcoal Snake Tribe fell into a melee on the spot.

The whole tribe was reduced to a chaotic mess.

Originally brothers of the same clan, they now seemed to have turned into enemies.

Seeing this, the younger brother of the Tanshe Zuzhang felt a burning rage in his heart.

These are all clansmen of the Charcoal Snake Tribe; if they were to die pointlessly in this internal strife, no matter the outcome, it would ultimately be a loss for his Charcoal Snake Tribe.

Meanwhile, that old coot opposite him shouted angrily with a furious expression.

"Whoever dares to block will be killed without mercy."

Do you think the current situation isn't chaotic enough and you want to add fuel to the fire?

Do you really want to let the many tribes' clansmen fight until both sides suffer losses?

The younger brother of the Tanshe Zuzhang was truly panicked; they couldn't keep fighting like this, they had to quickly find a way to stop it and minimize casualties.

But he alone couldn't achieve that.

The entire Charcoal Snake Tribe had descended into chaos; as for Tie Feng, the Clan Chief, he immediately led Zhao Tianqing and others to safety at the outbreak of the melee.

He had no intention of intervening, merely watching the scene with a faint smile, secretly thinking to himself.

Unexpectedly, this trip to the Charcoal Snake Tribe brought an unexpected joy.

Now is not the time to act; we must wait, wait for the younger brother of the Tanshe Zuzhang to speak up first.
