Chapter 2921

~7 min read 1,245 words

Although they had heard Xu Jie's general plan yesterday, even now the Iron Peak Tribe people still feel it's unreal.

This plan is indeed too bold; besides Xu Jie, others probably wouldn't even dare to think of it.

As for getting the Shadow Demon Clan to agree, the difficulty goes without saying.

The danger mentioned is too high—not referring to their Human Race and Barbarian God Tribe, but to the Shadow Demon Clan.

To disguise as that many undercover agents, not to mention the risk of exposure, just the Feather God Tribe's wrath is enough to give one a headache.

If the Shadow Demon Clan Chief isn't ill, it's impossible for him to agree.

Upon hearing this, the Iron Peak Clan Chief's thoughts were much the same; he thought so too, but before he could answer, Xu Jie strode in.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the Iron Peak Clan Chief and others, and grinned.

"All the seniors are here."

"How so now?"

Everyone knows Xu Jie is to contact the Shadow Demon Clan Chief today; coming over now, he should have finished the contact, though the outcome is unknown, but it's unlikely to have gone so smoothly.

Yet facing the Elder's inquiry, Xu Jie unexpectedly grinned.

"Naturally it succeeded; the Shadow Demon Clan Chief has agreed and will fully cooperate with our plan."

"Huh??"

Upon hearing this, the Iron Peak Clan Chief and the several Elders present were all stunned.

"He agreed?"

"That shouldn't be; imagining the Shadow Demon Clan Chief agreeing to anything is unthinkable—could he be ill?"

As for the Shadow Demon Clan, the Barbarian God Tribe naturally knows nothing about them, having had no prior contact.

It's not that the Feather God Tribe never considered letting the Shadow Demon Clan infiltrate the Barbarian God Tribe; it's just that the Divine Realm of the innate tribe is inaccessible to the Shadow Demon Clan.

Thus, over the years, the two tribes have had absolutely no interaction.

Even so, by normal reasoning, what reason would the Shadow Demon Clan Chief have to agree to Xu Jie?

Under the gaze of the Iron Peak Clan Chief and others, Xu Jie asked dubiously.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing, just happy—has the Shadow Demon Clan Chief definitely agreed? He won't pull any tricks, will he?"

"He wouldn't dare; I have leverage over him."

"Huh??"

"What leverage?"

Upon this, the Iron Peak Clan Chief and others grew curious—what kind of leverage would it take, letting the Iron Peak Clan Chief hold the tribe's heads to play with you? Are you his long-lost son?

Seeing this, Xu Jie sat beside the crowd; shortly after, the Iron Peak Clan Chief and others' expressions turned complex.

The Iron Peak Clan Chief even exclaimed.

"Does the Shadow Demon Clan Chief play so wildly? Even his own aunt………………"

"Who knows? But with this leverage in hand, I reckon he wouldn't dare to outwardly comply while secretly defying."

Xu Jie believes the Shadow Demon Clan Chief wouldn't act recklessly unless he wanted to ruin his reputation.

After finishing talking about the Shadow Demon Clan Chief, Xu Jie changed the subject.

"What about those two Elders?"

"They're here, likewise under strict supervision."

"Please, seniors, bring them over."

"Sure."

The two Feather God Tribe Elders, after returning from the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm, were likewise placed under strict supervision per Xu Jie's instructions.

They weren't given any chance.

Not long after, the two Feather God Tribe Elders, looking bewildered, were brought before Xu Jie.

Even then, both remained full of doubt, completely unaware of what had happened.

They were fine when they went to the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm, but as soon as they returned to the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, they were put under house arrest.

The two even suspected that these barbarians and humans might have changed their minds.

They couldn't help but feel panicked, not knowing the reason.

Upon seeing Xu Jie now, they immediately blurted out a question.

"What does this mean? What exactly do you want to do? Just kill us and get it over with."

This feeling of total uncertainty is truly miserable, because you don't know whether the next second will bring death or life.

As everyone knows, waiting to die is the most agonizing.

Facing the two Feather God Tribe Elders who were secretly uneasy, Xu Jie grinned.

"You two needn't be so tense; we don't intend to harm you—we just have a plan that requires your cooperation, hence the temporary measures."

"Plan?"

Hearing Xu Jie's words, the two Feather God Tribe Elders looked doubtful—another plan?

For some reason, upon hearing Xu Jie mention a plan, their hearts started pounding.

Last time this kid had a plan, it didn't turn out well either.

Ignoring their odd expressions, Xu Jie gestured for them to sit, then slowly spoke, explaining the plan to them in full.

According to Xu Jie's thinking, others could be impersonated by the Shadow Demon Clan, but for Elder‑level figures, it's best to "play themselves."

This way, safety can be maximized without arousing suspicion.

After all, the two Elders are genuine; if you can spot any problem, the others will naturally relax their guard.

Furthermore, the Elders are too important; having the Shadow Demon Clan impersonate them would surely give them away.

Xu Jie's plan was actually fine, but after hearing what he said, the two Elders of the Feather God Tribe were stunned.

One of them looked at him in disbelief and exclaimed.

"What are you saying? You want us to bring a bunch of undercover agents back to our tribe?"

With a shocked expression, do you even know what you're talking about? What the hell kind of plan is this?

Normally, undercover agents come in ones or twos, at most a dozen or so.

You come in with thousands or even tens of thousands of undercover agents.

With so many people flooding in, do you really think everyone else in the Feather God Tribe is an idiot?

Facing the two Elders' shock, Xu Jie calmly smiled and said.

"So that's why we need you two to step in."

"What the hell use are we two?"

"With such a huge aircraft, what can the two of them do?"

In response, Xu Jie's smile didn't fade as he said.

"Figure out a way to stabilize the situation and keep the undercover agents from being exposed."

Huh???

"Heh, why don't you consider this? I'll get the moon from the sky for you?"

In response, one of the Elders gave a wry smile, while Xu Jie stared blankly.

"Do you have a way?"

"I don't have any fucking way."

"If he could actually bring down the moon, there'd be no need to waste time here; we'd have already charged out."

"I said that precisely because this matter is harder than pulling down the moon."

After hearing Xu Jie's entire plan, even just thinking about it made the two Elders' scalps go numb.

This damn plan isn't something a person could come up with, let alone carry out.

But Xu Jie isn't prepared to give them the right to refuse; the plan is already set, and he's even settled things with the Shadow Demon Tribe—how could it be up to those two to say it won't work?

Besides, even if it can't be done, we have to make it work.

"That's how it's decided; now let me go over the details with you."

Huh???
