Chapter 2943: I Want to Become the Grand Elder

Facing Hui Yu's distrust, Third Elder even took out Ye Zhangqing's dry rations, but this guy still didn't believe.

Not believing was fine enough; I originally thought he could ask something serious, but as soon as he spoke, he completely confused Third Elder.

Damn it, which normal person discussing cooperation would care about these things?

Besides, at most, Third Elder only stayed a day in the Human Race's Immortal City Beyond the Heavens—where would he find the time to remember these?

His eyes full of anger, he looked at Hui Yu.

"Okay, then I'll ask other questions."

"Don't ask anymore; as for me, you and Bai Yu are both undercover agents, and those clansmen who came with you last time are all Shadow Demon Tribe impostors—I know all of that, is that enough?"

Having laid out the whole plan, as Third Elder's words came out, Hui Yu indeed fell into silence.

Knowing it in such detail, it's obviously not a guess; only someone who knew the plan could have told Third Elder.

Originally, the most likely source would have been Bai Yu, but these past days Hui Yu has been closely watching the prison area, and Third Elder never went there, so it's naturally impossible for him to have contacted Bai Yu.

So after ruling out Bai Yu, the most likely source is the Human Race themselves.

Since the Human Race could tell Third Elder the whole plan, it's obvious they're telling the truth and have already gained the Human Race's trust.

Just thinking about this, Hui Yu couldn't help but twitch his mouth—what's up with the Human Race, not giving a heads‑up about such a big matter?

To so easily trust Third Elder over something this simple—if he were pretending, wouldn't that be selling them all out?

What, just because you're not Human Race, you don't care at all about our life or death?

Although he thought that in his heart, he showed nothing on the surface; his gaze fixed on Third Elder, he stayed silent for a moment before cracking a smile.

"I naturally trust Third Elder."

"Heh……"

As for that, Third Elder merely showed a contemptuous smile—do you dare to pretend any more?

As for Hui Yu, he was completely unbothered by those things; after confirming Third Elder's identity, his attention naturally shifted to that dry ration.

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, giving an embarrassed laugh.

"Third Elder has Young Master Ye's token, so he's naturally trustworthy, but we still need to check the token."

"How do you want to check it?"

"Naturally, by tasting it—Young Master Ye's cooking, I'll know after one bite."

"Huh???"

"Damn it, if you want to eat, just say so."

Looking at Hui Yu pacing back and forth, Third Elder scolded him in annoyance, but he didn't mind giving out one dry ration—after all, when leaving the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, Ye Zhangqing had given him over a hundred.

"Now giving Hui Yu a taste is no big deal."

He casually tossed the dry ration to Hui Yu, who took it happily and heated it up right away.

The way to eat this dry ration is simple, very convenient; although the taste is a bit poor, it's still acceptable.

After much effort, Hui Yu finally got to eat Ye Zhangqing's cooking again, and he was utterly satisfied.

Meanwhile, Third Elder naturally wasn't idle either; seeing Hui Yu eat with relish, he couldn't help but have a portion himself.

After finishing, the two finally began discussing the matter at hand, and Hui Yu also spoke to Third Elder with a serious expression.

"If Third Elder joins us, what's the next plan?"

Originally they were just lying low temporarily, waiting for an opportunity to act, but now that Third Elder, a real powerhouse of the tribe, has joined, the plan will likely have to change.

As for this, Hui Yu knew nothing about it, so he couldn't help but ask.

Faced with the question, Third Elder didn't hide anything; now we're all on the same side, and future actions will certainly need Hui Yu's cooperation, so he spoke frankly.

"I want to become the Grand Elder."

"Huh???"

Hearing this, Hui Yu stared blankly—such ambition? Wanting to sit in the Grand Elder's position right off the bat?

But seeing Third Elder not joking, Hui Yu nodded silently.

Now that we have Third Elder, naturally we'll follow his lead; he just needs to cooperate from the side.

Afterward, Third Elder also briefly explained his plan to Hui Yu.

He will find a way to lure the Grand Elder out of Shenjie, then have the Barbarian God Tribe carry out a siege and kill.

As long as the Grand Elder dies, he'll have a way to take his place; once he becomes Grand Elder, Hui Yu can also share in the glory.

But hearing Third Elder's words, Hui Yu's expression turned a little strange.

How is this plan so familiar? Come to think of it, it's pretty similar to the idea he once had of besieging Third Elder.

Originally this was what he prepared to besiege Third Elder, but he didn't expect the other side to first make contact with the Human Race, so now the plan has turned into dealing with the Grand Elder.

Looking at Hui Yu's suspicious face, Third Elder cracked a smile.

"What, you feel this plan is very familiar?"

"This…… Third Elder misunderstood, this at the time wasn't……"

Back then, under those circumstances, there was no room to consider all that; to protect himself, he could only strike first.

Fortunately, Third Elder didn't hold a grudge; after a light joke, he told Hui Yu to recently keep the Shadow Demon Tribe members in check.

Don't let them raise suspicion; other matters leave it to him to handle—just wait for the Grand Elder to leave Shenjie, then it'll be their time to act.

As for how to lure the Grand Elder out of Shenjie, Third Elder didn't say, only that he had his own way—Hui Yu doesn't need to worry about it.

After giving the instructions, he didn't let Hui Yu linger, directly sending him away.

Considered as having made contact with Hui Yu, that night, in the Feather God Tribe's Shenjie, in a remote mountain forest untouched by people.

Third Elder waited in the woods not long before seeing a woman sneakily approach under the cover of night.

Seeing Third Elder, the woman's eyes flashed with excitement; without hesitation she flung herself into his arms, cooing.

"San Lang."

This woman is none other than the wife of Èr Zhǎnglǎo; she and the Third Elder once had a romance, and recently they have been in contact again.

Embracing Èr Zhǎnglǎo's wife in his arms, the Third Elder gritted his teeth and said.

I will avenge our son.

When she spoke of their son, the woman staggered, her eyes instantly reddening— that too was her child.

She then obediently nodded and said.

I'll listen to you in everything.

Well, tomorrow you will secretly leak the news of Grand Elder Du Sun's demise to Èr Zhǎnglǎo; he will naturally go and tell Grand Elder, and then ………………

This won't do; if Grand Elder finds out, he will certainly not let you off.

Upon hearing this, before the Third Elder could finish, the woman anxiously interrupted.

Grand Elder's fondness for Du Sun is well known among the Feather God Tribe; if he learns of this, he will certainly not spare the Third Elder.

Even though both are Elders, they will surely not let it rest; once they clash, the Third Elder is definitely no match for the Grand Elder.

Whether in personal strength or influence within the tribe, the Third Elder is completely overwhelmed.
