Chapter 2945: What exactly is going on with your clan?

The current cooperation and various promises, in the Third Elder's view, are fundamentally without any binding force.

All this talk of generations of friendship and never invading each other is nonsense.

Now both sides have needs, but once the Third Elder actually takes the Grand Elder's position, it will be completely different.

If there were no conflict of interest, it's hard to say, but once a conflict of interest arises, who would care about today's various promises?

Having settled the matter and ended the call, Xu Jie also laughed and shook his head.

He likewise doesn't believe these things, but he doesn't reject cooperation with the Third Elder either, at least it could give the human race a period of stable development.

In this world, no matter when, one must still rely on oneself; in other words, if the human race's strength is sufficient, what difference does it make whether today's promises exist or not?

"If there is any contact, come find me right away."

After giving a word to Old Seven and Ah Nine, the two brothers nodded repeatedly, and Xu Jie then stepped away.

I thought the plan was just that—wait for the Third Elder to lure the person out, then Iron Peak Clan Chief and the others would act.

But what no one expected was that the next day, just after lunch, everyone, full of food and drink, was chatting in the canteen courtyard.

Iron Peak Clan Chief's expression suddenly changed; he looked eastward beyond the city and spoke in a low voice.

"Old Ancestor………"

"What old ancestor?"

"An innate clan old-ancestor-level figure has arrived."

Huh???

While everyone was still puzzled, a Heavenly Palace powerhouse hurried in.

Just as Iron Peak Clan Chief had said, he spoke with a complex expression.

"Outside the city, someone claims to be the Feather God Tribe's Old Ancestor."

Huh???

"Feather God Tribe Old Ancestor?" Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned—what would such a figure be doing in their Immortal City Beyond the Heavens?

For a moment, everyone's gazes involuntarily turned to Iron Peak Clan Chief, after all, this is not something their human race can currently contend with.

Facing the gazes of everyone, Iron Peak Clan Chief also understood their meaning, so without waiting for them to ask, he first shook his head and said helplessly.

"It cannot be stopped; even I cannot block the Feather God Tribe's Old Ancestor. If my family's Old Ancestor were present, it would still be manageable."

Iron Peak Clan Chief is strong, but compared to these innate clan old-ancestor-level figures, he is still a grade lower.

He simply never imagined that such a figure could easily appear in the Beyond the Heavens and actively seek out the human race.

"What is going on? Has the matter been discovered, driving the Feather God Tribe to desperation?"

Hearing Iron Peak Clan Chief say that, everyone felt heavy-hearted, but at this moment Ye Zhangqing spoke up.

"The other side didn't attack directly but instead revealed themselves and sent someone to report; they probably didn't come just to fight, so for now let's invite them in and then talk."

"That's right."

Hearing this, everyone calmed down a bit; indeed, that is the case.

"If they truly came to exterminate our human race, why would this Feather God Tribe Old Ancestor go through all this trouble? They could just attack directly, and it shouldn't be just one person coming."

"Even though we are currently hostile, after all such a being is still highly regarded by our human race, so we naturally invited them respectfully into the Heavenly Palace's main hall."

Ye Zhangqing, Iron Peak Clan Chief, Zhao Tianqing, Tianhe, Xu Jie, and the other human race personnel, along with the main figures of the Barbarian God Tribe, were all present.

However, Ye Zhangqing and Xu Jie stood at the rear, after all, in this setting their seniority was still lower.

Furthermore, Ye Zhangqing intentionally did this as a joke; he had said that before, but after all, we didn't know the other party's intentions.

"If the talks break down and we come to blows, hiding in the back would also give a better chance to escape."

"Even if it weren't for Iron Peak Clan Chief and them requesting it, Ye Zhangqing wouldn't have come; he would have already taken the Dao One Immortal Sect members and the few ladies of Bai Hua Xianzi home to pack up."

"At the slightest hint of trouble, he would unhesitatingly bring people back to the Immortal Realm."

"Although this is merely barely surviving, at least it's still a breath."

"But it's clearly impossible, given Ye Zhangqing's current standing in everyone's hearts."

"No one spoke in the main hall; the atmosphere felt somewhat oppressive. As footsteps sounded, that Feather God Tribe Old Ancestor also slowly walked into the hall."

"It perfectly embodied the Feather God Tribe's handsomeness, appearing as a handsome young man, with no terrifying aura detectable around him."

"Iron Peak Clan Chief and the other Barbarian God Tribe powerhouses showed little reaction—there was no outbreak of conflict, nor any intention to pay attention."

"On the human race side, however, Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe voluntarily rose to salute, their attitude courteous."

"After the Feather God Tribe Old Ancestor took his seat, Zhao Tianqing then spoke."

"May I ask, senior, what brings you to our human race?"

"The urgent priority is to first clarify this person's purpose—whether friend or foe must be made clear."

"To this, the Feather God Tribe Old Ancestor smiled slightly."

"No need to be so tense; I came here to cooperate with your human race."

"Cooperation?"

"Hearing this, everyone present was stunned—what is this situation?"

"Facing everyone's doubts, the Feather God Tribe Old Ancestor explained."

"A few days ago, did my tribe's Third Elder come to see you?"

"This…………………"

"Such a matter cannot be hidden from me; precisely because of this, this old man has come today."

"That's right; I, as one of the five Old Ancestors of the Feather God Tribe, can be understood as the ancestor of the Second Elder's lineage."

"Second Elder?"

"Yes, we five each have our own factions; during this period there are some things I'd rather not say to you, but simply put, I and the Old Ancestors of the Grand Elder and Third Elder lineages have some grudges."

"Before, there was never a good opportunity, and furthermore everyone mutually restrained each other, so we could barely maintain balance."

However, over the years this delicate balance has become increasingly hard to maintain; everyone is looking for an opportunity. This time the Third Elder came to you, the Human Race, and I then thought we could turn the situation to our advantage, eliminating both the Grand Elder's and Third Elder's lineages in one stroke, so that afterward our tribe could be more united.

Of course, I can also agree to whatever the Third Elder promised you, and we can discuss even more conditions.

The explanation is simple, not too deep; after all, it concerns a secret of the Human Race, so it cannot be fully told to outsiders.

However, simply put, it can be summarized as: this Feather God Tribe Old Ancestor wants to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the Grand Elder and the Third Elder's two lineages, together with the old ancestors of those two lineages.

Let the Second Elder's lineage hold great power, completely controlling the Feather God Tribe.

The matter is not complicated and easy to understand, but everyone present feels a bit strange.

Behind the crowd, Xu Jie sent a doubtful mental transmission to Ye Zhangqing.

Junior Brother, what the hell is going on with this clan? A few days ago a Third Elder came trying to kill our own Grand Elder, and now an Old Ancestor has come, even more ruthless, directly wanting to wipe out the people of those two lineages—this is basically a clan of traitors.

Aren't they an innate race? How come there are so many dirty dealings inside your Feather God Tribe.
