Chapter 2920: You even your paternal uncle's Dao companion…

Seeing A Jiu's appearance, Lao Qi already knew in his heart that Xu Jie was speaking the truth; this guy actually spilled the clan territory.

However, the Shadow Demon Race Clan Chief was quite tough; even so, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Hmph, even if you know the clan territory, so what? Talk after you can attack in."

The Shadow Demon Race Clan Chief is not stupid; if he agreed, their Shadow Demon Race would have no retreat at all.

If by then the Human Race comes to watch from the walls, they'd be completely done.

He had seen the Feather God Tribe's methods of dealing with traitors.

They are ruthless even toward their own people, let alone these subordinate races; there would be no mercy at all.

So, even with a stiff neck, the Shadow Demon Race Clan Chief still wanted to struggle a bit more.

Seeing that, Lao Qi and A Jiu said nothing more; by now the situation had developed to a point where they, two juniors, could not interject.

For now, how to decide can only follow the Shadow Demon Race Clan Chief's decision.

However, Xu Jie seemed not to care about this, still wearing a relaxed expression, speaking calmly.

"Oh, you're not even afraid of the clan territory falling?"

"I said it, if your Human Race has the ability to break in, then speak."

"What if I reveal the matter between you and your paternal aunt?"

"What are you saying?"

Upon hearing that, the Shadow Demon Race Clan Chief visibly froze for a moment, but still forced himself to speak; the unconscious tremor in his tone, as well as the extremely grim and complex expressions on Lao Qi and A Jiu's faces, made Xu Jie involuntarily curl the corner of his mouth into a smile.

He continued speaking unhurriedly.

"You even your paternal uncle's Dao companion……"

This time, without waiting for Xu Jie to finish, the Shadow Demon Race Clan Chief immediately interrupted.

"Let's discuss our plan."

"That's right then."

Xu Jie had the Shadow Demon Race Clan Chief completely under his control; even Ye Zhangqing beside him was listening in a daze.

Where did he hear all these things from?

Xu Jie has only been in Beyond the Heavens for a short time; these matters I myself have never heard of, likely even the Heavenly Palace doesn't know, yet he knows them.

It seemed he sensed what Ye Zhangqing was thinking; Xu Jie secretly transmitted his voice.

"These things aren't hard to find out if one puts their mind to it; moreover, A Jiu is not someone who keeps his mouth shut."

"Huh???"

"Damn, all this is the secret that Xu Jie and A Jiu deliberately probed after contacting each other? What kind of fetish is this."

Meanwhile, Lao Qi, having come to his senses, was now staring fixedly at A Jiu, who kept his head down and dared not lift it even a glance.

No need to think; these things definitely came from A Jiu.

I won't even mention the clan territory's location; I never expected this guy to actually tell Xu Jie such a secret.

"The relationship between Father Emperor and paternal aunt—damn, can that be spoken of randomly?"

Although Father Emperor's paternal uncle fell long ago, that was for the clan's fallen; even to this day, he remains a hero in the hearts of many of the Shadow Demon Race's people.

For that reason, the paternal aunt is also highly respected in the clan.

If this matter were spread, without the Feather God Tribe lifting a finger, the Shadow Demon Race would descend into chaos themselves.

"You dare to move against the hero's widow, damn it."

As for how Lao Qi and A Jiu came to know this, it was entirely an accidental discovery.

They personally saw Father Emperor and the paternal aunt together like that; only then did Father Emperor admit it, saying it was mutual affection.

However, he repeatedly warned the two brothers that this must not be rashly spread abroad, otherwise great chaos would ensue.

Regarding this, Lao Qi also fully understood its importance, so for all these years he has kept his mouth shut tight.

But who would have thought that in the end, damn it, A Jiu leaked it, and to an outsider at that.

"A Jiu, how the hell could you tell such a thing to an outsider?"

Gritting his teeth, he harshly questioned A Jiu; facing his elder brother Lao Qi's inquiry, A Jiu could only reply with an innocent, downcast look.

"Lao Qi, I……………… I got drunk that day."

Indeed he said it because he was drunk, but now thinking about it, this is obviously Xu Jie's deliberate design—damn, that time he was intentionally plying him with alcohol.

Regarding this, Lao Qi was full of resentment with nowhere to vent, and besides Father Emperor was present, so he couldn't say much more.

At this point, Xu Jie had already begun discussing the operation's details with the Shadow Demon Race Clan Chief.

Throughout the process, Ye Zhangqing, Lao Qi, and A Jiu could not get a word in; Xu Jie already had a perfected plan.

Needless to say, in this regard Xu Jie is indeed heaven-defying level; anyway, Ye Zhangqing has never seen anyone who could match him.

In just one short night, he perfected every detail of the entire plan.

At least to Ye Zhangqing's hearing, there were absolutely no omissions.

Finally, under the Shadow Demon Race Clan Chief's gritted-teeth nod, the cooperation between the two sides was deemed successfully achieved.

"Then let's wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Xu Jie grinned; the Shadow Demon Race Clan Chief opposite merely gave a cold snort and said nothing.

After settling the matter, Xu Jie chatted a few more idle words with Lao Qi and A Jiu, then rose and left.

When only the two brothers remained in the room, Lao Qi looked at A Jiu and said with a complex expression.

"A Jiu, A Jiu, Father Emperor this time probably won't let you off."

"I know."

Upon hearing that, A Jiu made a bitter face and said helplessly.

He naturally knows this time's affair probably won't pass so easily; they've blown this thing way out of proportion.

If he weren't the emperor's own bloodline, I'd estimate there's no chance of survival.

Seeing this, Lǎo Qī also didn't know what to say, and could only remain silent.

On the other side, Xu Jie, who had settled the matter, was clearly in good spirits; Ye Changqing, beside him, after a brief shock, said somewhat wearily.

"Senior Brother, the matter is also settled; I'll head back first."

Having said that, without waiting for Xu Jie's reply, he turned and left straight away, without a hint of hesitation.

These past two days following Xu Jie, Ye Changqing increasingly felt that he was truly unsuited for this kind of thing.

My heart still isn't dirty enough—just look at that third senior brother, who's been plotting intentionally from the start.

If he hadn't early on uncovered these secrets, he wouldn't have these methods today to firmly control the Shadow Demon Race clan chief.

Whether this plan will succeed is still uncertain; therefore, preparing more is never a bad thing.

He went straight back to his residence; these things are still unnecessary to get involved in, anyway Xu Lǎosān is there.

On the other side, Xu Jie came to the heavenly prison where the Feather God Tribe captives were held; from yesterday onward, these Feather God Tribe captives have been strictly guarded by the Iron Peak Tribe people.

Although there was no harsh torture, it completely cut off their contact with the outside world, all to create conditions for Xu Jie's plan.

At this time, the Iron Peak Clan Chief and a few others personally took charge in the courtyard; one of the clan elders, still feeling uncertain, said.

"Clan Chief, do you really think that Xu Jie kid can be trusted? The Shadow Demon Race probably won't agree to him, after all this matter is too risky."
