Chapter 2919: We Have No Grudge or Enmity

Hong Zun, who had drunk well, patted Xu Jie on the shoulder with a satisfied expression and said.

"Lao San, among you four siblings, from childhood to now, as your master I've always thought highly of you; since you were little, I knew you'd become someone great…………………"

"Shīzūn, you've drunk too much; let me help you back to rest."

"Nonsense, how could I, as your master, get drunk from this little liquor? With just a bit of Línglì I could evaporate it completely—don't you believe me? Watch me show you a trick."

As a cultivator, and now Hong Zun's cultivation is already approaching the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Normally, ordinary immortal brew can indeed be dispelled with just a bit of Línglì.

But the problem is, this jar of liquor is not ordinary immortal brew; it's something Xu Jie took from an old ancestor of the Barbarian God Tribe.

To be treasured by someone of that stature, its grade couldn't be low, so…………………

"Huh, Master, where did your Línglì go?"

Hong Zun had just tried to mobilize his Línglì when, the next second, he felt it was gone.

He could no longer feel that abundant Línglì, let alone mobilize it.

Suddenly, Hong Zun panicked, his head felt heavy and dazed; the more he tried, the more anxious he became, and the more anxious he felt, the dizzier and blurrier his vision grew.

Finally, with a bang, he collapsed onto the table.

Seeing this, Xu Jie gave a wry smile.

"I told you earlier, this liquor is strong and can't be dispelled, yet you wouldn't believe me."

After confirming that Hong Zun was simply drunk, Xu Jie took him back to his room, settled him in, and then left.

Xu Jie had no other motive for this jar of liquor; he specially sought it out just to show filial respect to Hong Zun.

Seeing Hong Zun pleased, he felt utterly satisfied.

They spent the night in silence; the next day Ye Zhangqing made breakfast. After everyone ate, they had planned to go back and catch some extra sleep, but Xu Jie stopped them.

"What are you up to again?"

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing spoke with a speechless expression, while Xu Jie grinned.

"Junior Brother, didn't you forget? Yesterday we made an appointment with the Seventh Prince and his entourage."

"That was your arrangement; what does it have to do with me?"

"You don't want the tree pets anymore? Fine, we're all fellow disciples—Junior Brother, won't you come with me?"

Huh???

Again with the same taste, Ye Zhangqing was once more pulled by Xu Jie to the residence of Lao Qi and A Jiu.

Upon entering the courtyard, there were indeed three tree pets.

"Senior Brother's tree pet is here too—why didn't you call him?"

"Ah, we have to keep one just in case."

"Then why not leave mine?"

"Since we're already here, Junior Brother, don't say such defeatist talk."

In Yuàn zhōng they saw Lao Qi and A Jiu; Xu Jie, without further ado, directly asked.

"I wonder how your discussions went? Have the nobles made preparations?"

Huh???

Upon hearing that, Lao Qi and A Jiu both wore strange expressions—you'd think they were speaking nonsense.

"You're pulling off such a huge scheme, and only one night—could you possibly be ready?"

However, they obviously didn't dare say those words; Lao Qi could only reply with clasped hands.

"Shī xiōng, you're joking—how could such a big matter be settled in just one night?"

"Ah, your Shadow Demon Tribe's efficiency is a bit slow."

His mouth twitched, but he revealed nothing, then continued.

"Shī xiōng, please understand—we've done our best, but we still have some trouble now and might need your personal intervention."

Upon hearing that, Xu Jie seemed not surprised at all, as if he had expected these two brothers to say exactly that.

Soon after, the four sat in the room, and Lao Qi once again contacted his father, the emperor.

Not long after, the voice of the Shadow Demon Tribe's chief came from the other side.

"If it were about yesterday's matter, you wouldn't need to say anything—I couldn't possibly…………………"

But before he could finish, Xu Jie directly interrupted.

"Chief of the Shadow Demon Tribe, won't you consider it a bit more?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm the Human Race kid you mentioned—aren't you supposed to talk with me personally?"

Xu Jie gave his name, and upon this, the Shadow Demon Tribe's chief on the other end fell silent.

After a long while, he finally spoke in a low tone.

"Do you know how outrageous your plan is?"

"Outrageous?"

"Outrageous—it's completely off the charts, asking my entire Shadow Demon Tribe to go undercover in the Feather God Tribe—what were you thinking?"

"I thought it with my brain."

"I…… well, I won't argue with you; I'm just telling you this is absolutely impossible."

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with Xu Jie, the Shadow Demon Tribe's chief simply stopped talking and flatly refused.

Upon hearing that, Xu Jie also felt vexed, yet kept a calm face, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and replied unhurriedly.

"Well then, since that's the case, let's talk about other matters."

"Other matters?"

For example, how do you Shadow Demon Tribe want to die?

You threaten me?

Just stating a fact; actually, when I had this plan, I had already considered what to do if your Shadow Demon Tribe refused.

After all, all possible outcomes need to be considered.

At first, also the simplest method, I originally thought to kill all those Feather God Tribe captives, then push the blame onto your Shadow Demon Tribe, that your Shadow Demon Tribe surrendered to the Barbarian God Tribe, thus leading to this result.

You…………………

Upon hearing this, the Shadow Demon Tribe clan chief opposite broke out in a cold sweat; this human kid's heart is so dark?

Kill all Feather God Tribe captives; if that's really the case, then their Shadow Demon Tribe is surely done for, the Feather God Tribe will definitely not let this go easily.

I originally intended to frame his two sons with the blame, but I didn't expect this kid to be so ruthless.

Even Old Seven and Ah Jiu didn't expect it; the two brothers stared at Xu Jie with shocked faces.

As for Xu Jie, his face was calm as an ancient well, and he continued speaking.

But I also think this is too lenient for your Shadow Demon Tribe; I heard you Shadow Demon Tribe have offended many tribes, I'm thinking if we leak your tribal lands, that wouldn't be bad either.

Do you know where the Shadow Demon Tribe's tribal lands are?

Upon hearing this, the Shadow Demon Tribe clan chief became even more panicked; the Shadow Demon Tribe's tribal lands are indeed a secret.

After all, their tribe, due to a special innate divine ability, is surely unwelcome.

So once the tribal lands are exposed, their tribe will also be done for.

But the Shadow Demon Tribe clan chief doesn't believe the human race would know where their tribe's lands are; after all, the Shadow Demon Tribe's tribal lands were built with the help of the Feather God Tribe, almost a semi-finished Shenjie.

But facing the Shadow Demon Tribe clan chief's suspicion, Xu Jie merely glanced lightly at Ah Jiu.

Under Xu Jie's gaze, Ah Jiu's complexion grew worse and worse; Old Seven beside him saw this, his brows knit tightly, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

You told the human race about the tribal lands?

He asked in disbelief, and Ah Jiu merely stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Recalling in his mind, it seemed that when Old Seven hadn't come before, during meals, Xu Jie had several times actively sought him out to chat.

At that time, busy eating, his mind not sharp, it seems he was pumped for the tribal lands location by him; this guy probably already thought of that back then, right?
