Chapter 2937: The Tribe's Rebellious Bone

The Third Elder's departure did not alarm anyone, not even Hui Yu knew about it.

After all, given the current situation, Hui Yu dared not monitor the Third Elder; otherwise, a slight mistake would mean he brought trouble upon himself.

Knowing that others already suspected him, he should not get involved in any nonsense at this time.

Therefore, the only channel through which Hui Yu could obtain information was Yun Yu's side.

The next day he went to find Yun Yu and asked how things were going.

Facing Hui Yu, Yun Yu did not lie, and with a bitter expression said:

"I told the Third Elder what you instructed me to say, but he gave no reply and directly sent me back."

"You just came back like that?"

"Exactly, the Third Elder told me to leave; what could I do?"

Yun Yu wore an innocent look, while Hui Yu opposite him furrowed his brows, fell silent, and wondered what he was thinking.

The Third Elder's attitude became increasingly ambiguous, and the more so, the less Hui Yu felt assured.

Mainly because he had no idea what this old thing was thinking—whether he already had some evidence or merely harbored suspicion.

With no clue, he momentarily did not know how to respond.

He then asked Yun Yu a few more questions, but gained nothing; finally, Hui Yu threw down a sentence.

"Trash."

He then stood up and left; watching Hui Yu's departing back, Yun Yu, who had just been scolded, likewise gritted his teeth and cursed back.

"Pah, you're the trash."

"What did you say?"

Unexpectedly, Hui Yu suddenly turned back, his face grim as he asked Yun Yu, who gave an embarrassed smile.

"Nothing, I said Elder Hui Yu is right—I really am trash."

"Hmph, a coward."

This time Yun Yu dared not speak rashly; he felt angry but could only suppress it forcefully.

Having obtained no useful information from Yun Yu, Hui Yu could only steel himself and go to the Third Elder's side.

Although doing so was dangerous, he had no choice.

But when he arrived at the Third Elder's residence, the Dong Fu, he learned the other had actually entered closed-door cultivation.

Upon this, Hui Yu frowned tightly; at such a time he had entered seclusion—what exactly did this old thing intend to do?

He grew even more unable to fathom what the Third Elder wanted.

Since he did not see the person, Hui Yu could only return helplessly to his own Dong Fu; after this round, he obtained no valuable intelligence.

On the other side, according to the agreement, the Iron Peak Clan Chief and others had prepared to set out.

But before anyone could act, the Third Elder actually came to their door himself, and moreover came alone.

In the canteen, those who had just finished eating were chatting when they saw a Heavenly Palace powerhouse hurry over, wearing a strange expression.

"The Feather God Tribe's Third Elder has arrived."

"Huh??? What's going on?"

We were just planning to surround and kill the Third Elder, yet this fellow delivered himself to our door—could it be that Hui Yu fooled this old thing into this state?

Do we not even need to set an ambush ourselves; the person just walks right in?

Zhao Tianqing was the first to react, asking:

"How many people came?"

"Just one."

Huh???

Increasingly absurd—this old thing came to our Human Race's Immortal City Beyond the Heavens without bringing anyone, charging in single-handedly?

This is no longer a matter of courage; it seems his brain is waterlogged.

Yet when things go against the norm there must be a demon; since he came alone, perhaps he has other intentions.

After confirming there were no ambushes nearby, the crowd decided to meet this Feather God Tribe Third Elder.

However, Xu Jie, this fellow full of dirty tricks, coldly snorted.

"Let's bring the Third Elder into the city, just bring him to the canteen, and see if he really has that much guts."

"Yes."

Bringing the Third Elder into the city mainly serves to test his sincerity.

If this fellow truly dares to enter the city single-handedly, it shows his sincerity is ample; otherwise, would he joke with his own life?

Outside the city, upon learning the Human Race requested his entry, the Third Elder indeed hesitated a moment.

And this change was naturally seen by the Heavenly Palace powerhouses present; but soon the Third Elder nodded and said "good."

He truly followed the crowd into the city, and all the Heavenly Palace powerhouses before, behind, left, and right felt doubtful—was this old thing really that brave?

They did not know what the current relationship between the Human Race and the Feather God Tribe was.

However, they could faintly guess that the Third Elder's willingness to do this likely meant great stakes and that he had no other options.

In fact, it was exactly as the crowd guessed: the Third Elder indeed now had no other choice.

Under the escort of the crowd, they arrived at the canteen; upon entering the gate, seeing the messy canteen courtyard and the lingering aroma in the air, the Third Elder was visibly stunned for a moment.

At the same time, the gazes of Ye Zhangqing, Xu Jie, Zhao Tianqing, the Iron Peak Clan Chief, and the others all locked onto him.

A clan elder of the Iron Peak Tribe spoke softly:

"Really this old thing; back on the battlefield I once crossed blades with him."

As for the Third Elder, the Human Race might be unfamiliar with him, but the Barbarian God Tribe certainly is not—after all, they are old opponents, having clashed many times.

Hearing this, the Iron Peak Clan Chief nodded and said nothing more.

Ye Zhangqing also had no intention to speak, so the matter naturally fell to Xu Jie again.

After all, one specializes in their field, so these matters are Xu Jie's forte.

Seeing this, Xu Jie's mouth twitched slightly; these guys are getting lazier and lazier, dumping everything on him.

But now wasn't the time to say that; he showed a faint smile and Xu Jie spoke up voluntarily.

"Please have a seat."

Hearing that, the Third Elder was startled, his gaze turning to the Iron Peak Clan Chief and the others.

He came this time mainly to find the Barbarian God Tribe; he looks down on the Human Race, but he never expected that the one who spoke first would be a young brat of the Human Race—are you doing this on purpose?

Until the Iron Peak Clan Chief casually said a line.

"What Xu youngster says represents our Barbarian God Tribe's stance; you just need to talk with him."

"Huh???"

Upon hearing that, the Third Elder finally turned his gaze to Xu Jie; no matter how he looked, he felt this kid was lacking, and wondered whether someone of such low standing could participate in such a high-level discussion.

But since the Iron Peak Clan Chief had already spoken, the Third Elder, even if unwilling, had no choice and could only obediently take a seat.

Immediately, under Xu Jie's gaze, he spoke bluntly.

"I came this time wanting to discuss cooperation with the Barbarian God Tribe and you, the Human Race."

"And the reason?"

"Three years ago, in Beyond the Heavens, I accidentally killed the Grand Elder's only grandson; now the Grand Elder is close to discovering me, so before that I need to protect myself."

"If we want to cooperate, sincerity is naturally required; thus the Third Elder, without hesitation, revealed his own weakness."

"Whether he says it or not makes no difference; it will be uncovered sooner or later."

But upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but glance over, wondering what the situation with the Feather God Tribe was—was it a rebellious clan?
