Chapter 2858

As soon as Xu Jie said that, the Barbarian God Tribe people present were all bewildered.

They certainly wanted to wipe out that bunch of chickens, but after fighting for so many years, countless generations have died back and forth on the battlefield, yet no victor emerged.

Now you, a mere junior with Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation, dare to say such a thing?

The Flame Martial Clan Chief and the others naturally didn't believe Xu Jie could do that—what a joke— their eyes full of distrust, and some even wore contempt.

It's only out of respect for Ye Zhangqing's face; otherwise someone would have already mocked him—truly clueless, speaking without thinking.

Having taken in all the gazes of the Barbarian God Tribe, Xu Jie naturally knew what they were thinking, though he never said he would do it himself.

Everyone has their own strengths; when it comes to scheming, it's definitely up to the Human Race.

Given the Barbarian God Tribe's single‑minded nature, they're obviously not suited for this.

Letting them kill is fine, but making them use their brains is truly too much for them.

His expression remained calm, and Xu Jie spoke in a measured tone.

"I have my own way on this, but it's certainly not something I can do alone; ultimately, it's up to you seniors to act."

"Of course, I'm merely offering some ideas; as for the final decision, that's also up to you seniors."

Xu Jie naturally couldn't make decisions for the Barbarian God Tribe, and he was aware of that.

The reason he proactively suggested this is simply because the Feather God Tribe harbors hostility toward the Human Race—obviously they are the Human Race's enemy.

Since they are enemies, if there's a chance we must think of striking first; killing them in the cradle is the best policy.

Otherwise, are we supposed to wait for them to strike first?

This has always been Xu Jie's principle—after all, striking first is the safest.

Upon hearing Xu Jie's words, the Flame Martial Clan Chief became interested, his face turning serious as he spoke.

"Please elaborate."

This Human Race kid seems to have something; let's hear what he has to say before we decide.

If there really is an opportunity, he wouldn't rule it out.

Of course, even the Flame Martial Clan Chief can't decide alone; mobilizing the whole tribe requires the five great elders' approval, but as clan chief he can propose it.

Seeing the Flame Martial Clan Chief's interest, Xu Jie didn't directly reveal his plan; instead he smiled and said.

"Don't rush; if you seniors trust me, after we finish eating we'll go together to meet that Feather God Tribe expert, and then you'll understand."

"Huh???"

Regarding this, the Flame Martial Clan Chief and the others were utterly puzzled—what does this kid want to do? But it's just a simple meeting, and since they'll be present too, there's no problem.

They didn't understand, but they nodded and agreed.

The meal left everyone feeling extremely satisfied, especially Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping.

After such a long seclusion, I've been craving this; my junior brother's cooking has improved noticeably—it's taken a step up from before.

After eating and drinking to his fill, Xu Jie patted his belly contentedly, at which point Ye Zhangqing asked suspiciously.

"Third Senior Brother, why are you wading into this muddy water for no reason?"

Ye Zhangqing truly didn't understand, after all this matter seems unrelated to Xu Jie.

They've already been rescued; what to do with these Feather God Tribe members can be left entirely to the Flame Martial Clan Chief and the others to decide.

Whether to kill them or let them go, it's none of the Human Race's business.

Moreover, Xu Jie even proactively suggested helping to exterminate the Feather God Tribe—do you think that's as easy as killing a chicken?

The Feather God Tribe is an innate race; wiping out an innate race is obviously extremely difficult.

Yet Xu Jie still went ahead and actively proposed this hot potato.

Hearing that, Xu Jie laughed.

"I'm not without options; the Feather God Tribe is clearly hostile to our Human Race—if we don't act, are we supposed to wait for them to come knocking?"

"Are you confident?"

"Who can be sure?"

This remark fits Xu Jie's character perfectly—this guy definitely repays grudges, and in a sense he values his life even more than Ye Zhangqing does.

Ye Zhangqing is somewhat lazy, finding many things troublesome.

Xu Jie, on the other hand, cannot tolerate even the slightest hint of danger.

As soon as he senses any danger, he must find a way to nip it in the bud.

As Xu Jie puts it, if he doesn't do that, he can't sleep.

Having said that, Ye Zhangqing didn't stop him; after all, if it fails, it's no big loss.

After a short rest, the Flame Martial Clan Chief and the others planned to go to the Heavenly Prison with Xu Jie, and Ye Zhangqing accompanied them.

The main reason was that they weren't at ease with Xu Jie.

The group headed to the Heavenly Palace Prison Cell, which naturally faced no obstruction, and they smoothly arrived at the lowest level of the prison.

This level had already been taken over by the Barbarian God Tribe, and the detainees were precisely the Feather God Tribe experts captured in that earlier battle.

There were many of them, and in the deepest, most tightly guarded Prison Cell lay naturally that Feather God Tribe elder.

Xu Jie's target was clear; as soon as he arrived he headed straight for that deepest Prison Cell.

As the Formation was opened, the Feather God Tribe elder, already beaten half‑to‑death, strained to lift his eyelids and looked at the newcomers.

Seeing the Flame Martial Clan Chief and these Barbarian God Tribe members, despite his miserable state he still gritted his teeth and shouted defiantly.

"You bunch of trash, if you have the guts, kill me."

Facing the Barbarian God Tribe, the Feather God Tribe elder fears no death; compared to dying, being reduced to a prisoner of these barbarians is even more humiliating, making him wish he were dead.

From this one can see how deep the enmity between the two tribes runs.

The Flame Martial Clan Chief, likewise, had an icy expression and coldly spat out a sentence.

"You want to die? Hmph, I'll make sure you live instead."

The Feather God Tribe people are unhappy; then they'll be happy—it's that simple.

As for Xu Jie, since entering the prison cell he hadn't spoken a word, merely sizing up this Feather God Tribe Elder with his gaze.

Ye Zhangqing beside him also didn't know what he was planning, and remained silent so as not to disturb.

Until the Flame Martial Tribe Clan Chief turned his head, looked at Xu Jie, and asked.

Kid, you have some way to speak now, right?

Senior, instead of me saying it myself, it's better to just see the result; you should talk more with this guy.

Huh???

Hearing this, the Flame Martial Tribe Clan Chief froze for a moment—'You damn well brought me here to brag? And still have me talk more with him—what's there to say?'

Looking at Xu Jie with suspicious eyes, seeing he didn't seem to be joking, the Flame Martial Tribe Clan Chief was filled with doubt.

You brought all these people here just to talk to this chicken?

Seeing the Flame Martial Tribe Clan Chief's doubt, Xu Jie spoke calmly.

Senior, just talk to him, and you'll naturally understand.

Alright, kid, don't mess with me.

Upon hearing that, the Flame Martial Tribe Clan Chief still nodded and agreed.
