Chapter 2860: Just say whether it's good to use

Zhao Tianqing watched Xu Jie chatting leisurely with the Yanwu clan chief and other Barbarian God Tribe experts, and he was completely dumbfounded.

This kid was basically fooling those Barbarian God Tribe members like they were idiots.

He took the ordinary human folk trick and actually managed to astonish those Barbarian God Tribe experts, leaving them stunned one after another.

Among the Human Race, such a trick is petty— not even worth mentioning for cultivators, and among ordinary mortals it's a lowly means unfit for the table.

But with Xu Jie, it becomes a divine ability.

Especially seeing those Barbarian God Tribe experts with their eyes shining, it was as if they had discovered a new continent.

Really, one dares to speak, another dares to believe?

Zhao Tianqing has lived so many years, and he truly has never seen such an absurd thing.

"Your method is great, kid."

After hearing Xu Jie's explanation, originally clueless, but now the Yanwu clan chief's eyes shone frighteningly bright.

His gaze toward Xu Jie was even more filled with spirit, the approving color in his eyes impossible to hide.

He felt inwardly, truly not bad for someone who walked out alive from the Feather God Tribe's Shenjie; indeed he has some skill.

As for the two conditions Xu Jie proposed, to the Yanwu clan chief they were completely no problem.

First, the Feather God Tribe's communication method— the Barbarian God Tribe already had some understanding of it.

As the saying goes, the one who understands you best is often your enemy.

This saying holds true for the Barbarian God Tribe and the Feather God Tribe without any flaw.

Having fought to the death for so many years, the two tribes can be said to have already thoroughly studied each other.

Secondly, Xu Jie is responsible for luring the Feather God Tribe over, and when the time comes, the Barbarian God Tribe will still handle the attack.

That's even less of a problem.

To the Yanwu clan chief and his people, it's just one sentence: as long as you can lure them in, you can safely leave the rest to them.

There's basically no need for Xu Jie to worry about anything.

The only somewhat troublesome thing is learning the Feather God Tribe's language.

Among the Barbarian God Tribe, there are those who know it and can teach Xu Jie.

But the problem is whether Xu Jie can learn it, and how long it will take.

After all, the most obvious flaw in Xu Jie's entire plan is that time cannot be dragged out too long.

Otherwise, if this batch of Feather God Tribe members delay with no news, and there's even an Elder‑level figure among them, the Feather God Tribe would surely guess something went wrong even if they were stupid.

By then, even if they wanted to act, it would be too late.

"Xu kid, rest assured, as long as you finish what I asked you to do beforehand, you won't need to worry about the rest."

The Yanwu clan chief patted his chest and said, but couldn't help adding one more sentence.

"Just this learning of the Feather God Tribe's language— is it still possible now?"

In response, Xu Jie had no worries, grinning as he spoke.

"Senior, rest assured, at most three days will suffice."

"Three days?"

Hearing this, the Yanwu clan chief froze for a moment, wondering if this kid was joking.

"A completely new language, and you kid can learn it in just three days?"

The Yanwu clan chief has actually been studying the Human Race language lately, after all he'll need to eat later, relying on translation would definitely be inconvenient.

Most importantly, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon race has now betrayed them, and using them as translators makes the Yanwu clan chief feel uneasy no matter how he thinks about it.

He's been studying seriously, but after over a month he's only grasped a rough idea.

Sometimes even normal communication comes out stammering.

Now Xu Jie says at most three days, and the Yanwu elder really doesn't believe it.

However, seeing his full‑of‑confidence appearance, the Yanwu clan chief still didn't say anything discouraging and nodded.

"Good, I'll send the personnel over today."

"Thank you, senior."

Upon hearing that, Xu Jie bowed his hands in thanks.

Afterwards the Yanwu clan chief went off busy preparing, and as for Xu Jie, his current task is just one: to quickly master the Feather God Tribe's language.

After all, using Human Race language to transmit sound to the Feather God Tribe, even if you imitate it perfectly, it will be exposed instantly.

After seeing off the Yanwu clan chief and his group, only the Human Race remained, and then Zhao Tianqing couldn't help but speak up.

"You kid, are you just going to fool them like that? Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?"

"Although those Barbarian God Tribe members aren't very bright, their strength is right here— can you beat them?"

On the contrary, Xu Jie replied with a relaxed face.

"What do you mean by that, Palace Master? How have I been deceiving?"

Seeing Xu Jie still acting nonchalant, Zhao Tianqing spoke irritably.

"Not yet, you damn well want to get by with that trick— isn't that deceiving?"

"It's indeed the trick."

"You admit it?"

"What's the problem? To them this is a divine ability."

"That trick, among Human Race cultivators, is something even dogs wouldn't learn— it's utterly useless."

"But with Xu Jie, there's no skill that can't be done, only people who can't do it."

"Although the trick is simple, under these circumstances it absolutely counts as a divine‑like skill."

"First, Xu Jie doesn't need to contact the Feather God Tribe; they basically can't even see his appearance."

Secondly, that is mutual sound transmission; it can only be judged by voice.

As long as the voice imitation is accurate, with no problem in tone and inflection, it is perfect.

Finally, and most importantly, the Feather God Tribe and Barbarian God Tribe, these innate races, have never before come into contact with the Human Race, and thus have no understanding of humans.

Not knowing there is such a skill as ventriloquism, not knowing means there's no way to guard against it, let alone see through it.

This can be seen from the performance of the Yanwu Clan Chief just now.

Among so many Barbarian God Tribe powerhouses, has anyone noticed the problem? Not a single one.

Faced with Xu Jie's displayed ventriloquism, each of them felt nothing short of astounded.

There is such a method among humans as well.

Even Barbarian God Tribe powerhouses actively expressed a desire to learn; Zhao Tianqing naturally heard this, and he was left stunned.

"So, since even the Barbarian God Tribe couldn't detect any clues, does the Palace Master think the Feather God Tribe could see through it?"

As Xu Jie gave his explanation, Zhao Tianqing fell silent, as if what this kid said was indeed true.

Oh no, I've been played by this kid.

The others present were also stunned, but like Zhao Tianqing, they had no grounds to refute.

Moreover, ventriloquism may be simple, but right now it's awesome.

Because besides Xu Jie, everyone thinks it's unlikely to find a second person in the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens who can do this.

After all, who would bother learning this in their spare time? If you have the skill, why not put effort into cultivation, or go to the Gōulán to listen to a tune, relax—wouldn't that be nice?

But nobody knows that Xu Jie's ventriloquism was actually learned in the Gōulán.

Back when he was still in the Xia Jie, Xu Jie, while in the Gōulán, knew a courtesan who happened to be skilled in ventriloquism.

Xu Jie was curious back then: "Why do you seriously learn this? What's the use?"

Who would have thought the other party would blush and reply in one sentence.

"Just to make the young master like me more."

Then Xu Jie discovered a new continent; it's truly awesome.
