Chapter 2894: You Traitor

Someone spoke up; although it wasn't substantive help, at least it was a good start.

What needs to be done next is to figure out how to get these two elders to speak.

After all, to enter the Feather God Tribe's Shenjie, only someone of elder rank can lead the way in.

Ordinary tribespeople, even if willing, lack the ability.

Just looking at these two elders, getting them to betray their own tribe is no easy task.

Turning back to the prison door, seeing that elder gritting his teeth inside the cell, Xu Jie let out a soft sigh.

Don't be fooled by this elder's constant shouting and drooling; his resolve is indeed firm.

He looks like he can't hold back, but in fact he has no intention of loosening his lips.

Moreover, given his current attitude, even if he nods, I wouldn't dare believe it.

This is clear even to the crowd led by the Iron Peak Clan Chief.

Not long after, everyone gathered around and formed a circle.

Only saw the Iron Peak Clan Chief staring at Ye Zhangqing and Xu Jie with a torch-like gaze, speaking in a deep voice.

"Zhangqing, Xu kid, if you daydream about prying any news from these old geezers' mouths, it's harder than climbing to heaven, let alone hoping they can lead us even a step into Shenjie."

"Even if we concede that this guy might now agree to speak, how would you know whether he harbors ulterior motives?"

"He might even be deliberately setting a trap for us, waiting for us to foolishly take the bait before screwing us over badly; by then, we might not even find a note to cry on."

What the Iron Peak Clan Chief said is absolutely right; after all, the group ahead will have to rely on this guy to lead the way to the Feather God Tribe's Shenjie.

If this guy pulls any tricks or schemes along the way, even if everyone stays vigilant, ultimately we are on his turf, ignorant of the surroundings, and a slight misstep would land us in the trap he has meticulously woven.

In that case, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, attempting to rely on this group's power to break into the Feather God Tribe's Shenjie is undoubtedly a foolish daydream.

However, facing this situation, Xu Jie remained calm and composed, even showing a confident smile on his face, and without hesitation nodded in response.

"Please, seniors, rest assured; regarding this matter, I already have it figured out in my heart and will surely fulfill the mission perfectly."

Xu Jie's mouth corners turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile, as if he were full of confidence in himself.

Hearing this, the Iron Peak Clan Chief couldn't help but furrow his brows, gazing at Xu Jie with an indescribable look, secretly pondering.

Just what is this little brat scheming?

Given the current situation, could he really still have some clever trick up his sleeve?

Facing the Iron Peak Clan Chief's doubts, Xu Jie merely waved his hand lightly, indicating no need to worry, and patted his chest to guarantee everything was under control.

Immediately after, he resolutely turned around and strode steadily toward the prison cell where the two Feather God Tribe elders were held.

As it turned out, earlier Xu Jie had successfully captured two elder-level bigwigs alive, and then imprisoned them in two adjacent rooms.

As Xu Jie approached, the first thing that came into view was that elder who had been chattering nonstop and shouting abuse.

Upon seeing Xu Jie draw near, this elder immediately flared up even more, mercilessly shouting.

"You damned human mongrel, stop daydreaming; if you have the guts, just take my life directly, but don't even think about making me betray my tribe and side with you lowly creatures—there's no way."

Before his words even faded, one could see this elder's face full of ferocity, his eyes flashing with icy killing intent, glaring hatefully at Xu Jie; his stance was utterly unquestionable.

This elder, with a face full of flesh, fierce eyes, and upturned mouth corners, revealed a disdainful expression, as if taunting.

"If you have the ability, then kill me."

His whole body exuded a strong aura that couldn't be ignored, yet there was no sign whatsoever that he could be persuaded.

Facing such a troublesome opponent, Xu Jie showed no trace of anger or impatience.

On the contrary, he remained calm and composed, wearing a faint smile, as if utterly indifferent to what was happening before him.

Xu Jie, without a word, turned and walked toward another cell, his steps light yet firm.

This cell held the second Feather God Tribe elder, who, unlike the previous one, had not uttered a sound from the start to now, like a silent sculpture.

The cell was unusually quiet, so quiet that the sound of a needle dropping to the floor could be heard clearly.

When the prison door slowly opened, all that could be seen was the elder sitting cross-legged in the corner, his eyes slightly closed, as if in meditation.

Even feeling someone enter, he did not move a muscle, nor did he open his eyes to see who had come.

Judging by appearance alone, this elder gives an impression far harder to deal with than the previous one; persuading him is unlikely to be easy.

Xu Jie stood silently in place, gazing at the elder with closed eyes cultivating his spirit, his gaze torch-like, as if able to penetrate his inner world.

He carefully observed the elder's every move, trying to capture any useful information to find a breakthrough for persuasion.

After staring at that elder for a moment, Xu Jie turned his head and whispered a few words to the Flame Martial Clan Chief beside him,

Upon hearing this, the Flame Martial Clan Chief's face looked strange, his eyes full of doubt, as if thinking this might work.

Facing the Flame Martial Clan Chief's doubts, Xu Jie confidently nodded.

Seeing that, the Flame Martial Clan Chief then stepped forward, sealing the Feather God Tribe elder's movement and five senses.

Immediately, Xu Jie personally brought over a large bowl of rice, inside the cell, deliberately raising his volume as he muttered to himself.

"How about it? If you nod in agreement, this bowl of rice is yours."

"Oh? Willing to tell me some secrets? That's useless to me; I want you to take me into your Feather God Tribe's Shenjie."

Inside the cell, only Xu Jie was talking to himself, but to those outside it sounded completely different.

Those outside hearing this would think Xu Jie was speaking with someone inside the cell, and that the other party seemed already on the verge of being persuaded.

Especially the other Feather God Tribe elder in the neighboring cell.

At this moment, hearing the voices from the neighboring cell, his facial expression kept changing, and no one knew what he was thinking.

However, from his increasingly grim expression, it's not hard to guess that his mood at this time must be quite complicated.

After all, from the content of those voices, it's not hard to guess that the elder in the neighboring room seems to have wavered a bit.

This made his heart sink instantly to the bottom, and he couldn't help but burst out cursing.

"Shut up, you're an elder of the tribe—do you really still want to betray the clan? Do you want to become a sinner of my Feather God Tribe?"
