Chapter 2797
The Iron Peak Clan Chief and them returned, and Ye Zhangqing also took the opportunity at the earlier banquet to express his and others' desire to leave the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm.
After all, it's been quite a while since we muddled into the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm, and we still don't know what the situation is like outside.
However, Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe have both suddenly disappeared; the Heavenly Palace side must already be in dire straits.
After all, they are the two Palace Masters of the Heavenly Palace.
For now, while searching for the whereabouts of others, Ye Zhangqing and Zhao Tianqing have discussed and are also preparing to leave.
After comparing the list, the human cultivators with no news are already fewer than a hundred.
We don't know whether those people are still alive, but Tianhe has already been found in the Charcoal Snake Tribe and returned together with Zhao Tianqing; it's also time to leave.
Over the past half month, we have found many more people bit by bit, of course some are corpses.
Although companions have fallen, it's inevitable to feel sad, but no one wants such an accident.
We should go, and we must go.
However, regarding this, the Iron Peak Tribe naturally is reluctant, after all they have grown accustomed to Ye Zhangqing's cooking; if they can't eat it anymore, how could that be acceptable?
Then, as this elder spoke, another elder present darkened his face and gritted his teeth, saying.
"Why not go all the way? Simply tie him up."
Huh??? 「
This is a no-choice method; since we're reluctant to let Ye Zhangqing go, we'll just forcibly keep him.
Upon hearing this, others all looked at that elder, their gazes somewhat strange.
"You want to tie up Ye Zhangqing?"
"Exactly, what else? Are you willing to let him go?"
"We are naturally reluctant, but if you tie him up, with that kid's temper, will he submit?"
Don't look at Ye Zhangqing's usual mild temperament; if it really comes to that, this kid is probably also stubborn.
Whether he can cook is beside the point; otherwise he might poison you someday, turning friends into enemies.
So, forcibly tying someone up is obviously not advisable.
This will only drive the relationship between both sides to rock bottom.
Seeing everyone directly reject it, yet having no other option, this elder couldn't help but speak softly.
"This won't work, that won't work, what should we do?"
For a moment, no one had an idea; the Iron Peak Clan Chief and the other elders were at a loss.
On another side, after the banquet, Ye Zhangqing, Zhao Tianqing, and Tianhe also sat together to discuss leaving.
Tianhe frowned and said.
"Just now looking at the Iron Peak Clan Chief's demeanor, he seems unwilling to let us leave."
Hearing that, Zhao Tianqing immediately replied without thinking.
"They don't not want us to leave; they just don't want Ye Zhangqing to leave. Whether we go or not, they don't care at all."
"What are you saying? Are we supposed to abandon Ye Zhangqing and leave on our own?"
"When did I say I'd abandon Ye Zhangqing? I'd abandon you old fogey before I'd abandon Ye Zhangqing."
Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe both give no face to each other.
As soon as they meet, there's tension, but both had noticed the Iron Peak Clan Chief's change in expression earlier.
Although they didn't directly refuse, their inner thoughts still let people guess roughly.
Ye Zhangqing wants to leave, the Iron Peak Clan Chief is unwilling; that's only natural.
But there's nothing they can do about it.
First, it's impossible to stay in the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm forever; they must return to Beyond the Heavens.
Second, it's also impossible to keep Ye Zhangqing, so it seems there's no good solution.
"Well, this is indeed somewhat troublesome."
Originally, relying on Ye Zhangqing's cooking skills, everyone obtained the Iron Peak Tribe's protection within the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm.
This was a good thing, but now this good thing seems to have turned bad, becoming the biggest obstacle to their leaving the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm.
The Iron Peak Tribe side is reluctant to let go.
After talking for a while with no solution, they both ended up looking at Ye Zhangqing; facing the two's gazes, Ye Zhangqing also gave a helpless smile.
"Don't look at me like that; I also have no idea right now."
"Then what should we do?"
"Let's take it step by step."
Ye Zhangqing also had no idea in his heart, so he could only smile helplessly.
The next day, the Iron Peak Clan Chief indeed came over on his own initiative; after sitting down, without further ado, he spoke frankly.
"Zhangqing, you all want to leave; to be honest, I'm reluctant."
"Clan Chief, I………………"
Looking at the sincere Iron Peak Clan Chief, Ye Zhangqing also felt somewhat uneasy; after all, during this time they indeed owed much to the Iron Peak Tribe.
If not for the Iron Peak Tribe, with so many of them, it's uncertain how many would still be alive now, including himself.
Anyway, no matter how you say it, it's undeniable that they haven't lived as comfortably as now.
They merely owe the Iron Peak Tribe a favor, but they can't therefore stay in the Iron Peak Tribe forever.
Ye Zhangqing can't do that; there are still many matters Beyond the Heavens.
Moreover, Ye Zhangqing also can't bear to leave the Dao One Immortal Sect folks; frankly, his roots aren't here but Beyond the Heavens, in the Immortal Realm.
Seeing Ye Zhangqing's troubled expression, the Iron Peak Clan Chief timely spoke to persuade, saying that as long as he is willing to stay, any conditions can be proposed.
As long as the Iron Peak Tribe can fulfill it, they will definitely agree.
Moreover, in the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm, for Ye Zhangqing's Xiūliàn, it is also absolutely beneficial, far beyond what Beyond the Heavens can compare.
But these temptations, for Ye Zhangqing, have absolutely no appeal; moreover, he does not bitterly Xiūliàn, and wherever he is, it's the same.
Ye Zhangqing politely refused, but his attitude was very firm; leaving is definitely something he will do.
After a round of discussion, the Iron Peak Clan Chief and Ye Zhangqing still could not convince each other.
Everyone has their own reasons, and there's no way to change them.
Finally, the Iron Peak Clan Chief did not insist; he simply got up and left. However, regarding the exit of the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm, he did not mention it, and Ye Zhangqing also found it hard to press further.
This matter still needs to be figured out and explained clearly.
He returned to his residence feeling somewhat helpless; could it really be just letting this kid go? Or should he just tie him up and then take his time?
His mind was in a jumble, feeling only vexed and irritable; at that moment, the clan elder who first made contact with Ye Zhangqing in the clan came to see him.
The elder entered the rear courtyard and saw the Iron Peak Clan Chief with a vexed expression, then spoke with a smile.
"Did the Clan Chief go to look for Ye Zhangqing?"
"You know full well and yet ask."
In response, the Iron Peak Clan Chief replied unhappily, "I went to see Ye Zhangqing myself; could these clan elders of ours possibly not know if they paid attention?"
Seeing this, the elder didn't mind, smiled and sat beside the Clan Chief, then spoke with an inscrutable expression.
"Clan Chief, when I previously talked with that Human Race kid called Tian-something, I heard a saying."
"What saying?"
"They say 'move the tree and it dies, move the person and he lives'; can a living person really be held to death by holding in urine?"
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
