Chapter 2955

Our own people know our own affairs; regarding this junior, this Feather God Tribe Old Ancestor naturally understands.

Although he has strength, he harbors little ambition, seeking only stability; that has been the case for many years.

I never expected this guy could be so complacent; he speaks so clearly, yet he remains utterly unmoved.

After a round of scolding, this Feather God Tribe Elder explained again, then asked in a low voice.

Do you understand now?

Hearing that, Èr Zhǎnglǎo nodded and said.

I understand, but Old Ancestor, I don't want to seize power.

Èr Zhǎnglǎo wore an unwilling expression, looking quite opposed; why seize power? Isn't the current life good enough?

Every day there's food and drink, no danger, and it's very leisurely.

If he were to seize power, all the tribe's major and minor affairs would need handling; look at the Grand Elder—he's not much older, yet now he's grown so old.

He's fine just as he is: broad-minded and stout, with a ruddy complexion and middle-aged appearance, looking like a wealthy gentleman.

Such a life is what Èr Zhǎnglǎo wants; he truly does not wish to take part in these power struggles.

Upon hearing his words, this Old Ancestor of ours was left dumbfounded, stroking his beard and glaring as he said.

You idiot, do you think you can just avoid conflict now? If we don't eliminate the Grand Elder and Third Elder lineages, we'll have no way to survive.

Now the situation forces us; if you don't contend, they'll push you to contend. Do you think yielding will make them stop?

That would only make them push further.

As for this, Èr Zhǎnglǎo still refused.

Old Ancestor, but I still don't want to.

Shut up; I'll say what I say, you just do it—where does all this talk come from?

We no longer expect this guy to be of any help; we just need to wait for the Grand Elder, Third Elder, and others to leave, then take control of Shenjie.

Such a simple thing—what difficulty could there be?

By then their two lineages' Old Ancestors will be gone; the remaining two will greet him themselves—no need for this guy to worry. Can't he handle such a small matter?

They gave Èr Zhǎnglǎo no chance to refuse, directly deciding.

Waiting for our Old Ancestor's illusory form to fade slowly, Èr Zhǎnglǎo sighed helplessly.

He truly does not want to get involved in these troubles, yet he cannot ignore our Old Ancestor's words.

Helplessly shaking his head, he then said.

How about after things are settled, let the Old Ancestor become Grand Elder, and then hand over all tribal affairs to him?

Thinking this over, Èr Zhǎnglǎo found it feasible, after all you're the one who told me to seize power—I have no interest in that.

Since you like power, then you can just take it over then, while he continues to live as a carefree cloud and wild crane.

Every day tending flowers, walking dogs—this isn't more comfortable than being a Grand Elder?

The more he thought about it, the more feasible Èr Zhǎnglǎo found it.

Also, the call has just ended; otherwise, if this Old Ancestor of Èr Zhǎnglǎo's household heard this, he'd probably be so angry he'd spit blood.

He's wholeheartedly thinking of his own lineage's juniors, yet in the end they still find it a bother.

Let him be Grand Elder—listen, does that even sound like human talk? He's already an Old Ancestor; can he still serve as Grand Elder? Aren't you just regressing the longer you live?

Have you ever seen an innate tribe's Old Ancestor, after becoming an Old Ancestor, still retreat back to being an Elder?

Moreover, the Èr Zhǎnglǎo lineage has also begun acting covertly.

Although Èr Zhǎnglǎo is lazy, he is certainly no fool; in fact he is quite capable, just dislikes trouble.

This time, facing the matter personally entrusted by our Old Ancestor, he could only grit his teeth and go ahead.

Just with this move, isn't his ability demonstrated?

Originally at Èr Zhǎnglǎo's residence, both the Grand Elder and Third Elder had planted many spies—strict surveillance indeed.

Even his bedside companion had long since taken the form of the Third Elder.

Yet even amidst such wolves surrounding him, Èr Zhǎnglǎo's actions were not detected at all.

That's not something an ordinary person could do.

Furthermore, the Grand Elder and Third Elder currently have no time to bother with this fat guy; they think he poses no threat at all.

They've poured almost all their energy into the other side, assuming only that one is the true enemy.

Thus, Èr Zhǎnglǎo's actions naturally proceed like a fish in water, progressing smoothly.

Here, Èr Zhǎnglǎo is secretly preparing; elsewhere, before departure, the Grand Elder and Third Elder merely went through the motions of holding a meeting.

During it, the Grand Elder spoke to Èr Zhǎnglǎo with earnest sincerity.

"Old Two, after we leave, Shenjie will rely on you."

Hearing that, Èr Zhǎnglǎo still showed a lack of interest and said.

"Grand Elder, you know me—I'm not interested in these matters; you'd better go and return quickly."

Seeing Èr Zhǎnglǎo like that, the Grand Elder and Third Elder naturally felt ever more reassured; that's exactly the state they wanted.

If you didn't have that state, they wouldn't even feel safe leaving.

Confirming that Èr Zhǎnglǎo is still the same Èr Zhǎnglǎo, unchanged, the Grand Elder and Third Elder also felt reassured in their hearts.

With such talent, temporarily entrusting Shenjie to him is secure.

Both shared the same thought, then grinned broadly.

"Old Two, you should be more diligent; always being like this won't do. There are many tribal affairs—we need to work together."

"Grand Elder, I truly have no interest in these."

"Grand Elder, you needn't say these things; since Èr Zhǎnglǎo isn't interested, we needn't press him—isn't that what you're for?"

"Heh, then let's not talk about this."

What the Èr Zhǎnglǎo said was sincere; he truly has no interest in this.

Seeing the Grand Elder and Third Elder speaking in a weird, sarcastic manner, the Èr Zhǎnglǎo simply couldn't be bothered to waste more words.

Those two guys go to Beyond the Heavens, fighting desperately; it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, as long as we follow what our ancestors said, controlling the Shenjie is enough.

As for other matters, the ancestors will decide.

After the discussion, the Grand Elder and Third Elder felt nothing amiss about the Èr Zhǎnglǎo.

Thus they could leave with peace of mind.

On the night before departure, the Third Elder secretly met with Hui Yu and the Clan Chief of the Shadow Demon Race.

In the secret chamber, the three took their seats, and the Third Elder spoke with a murderous intent.

"This time we must definitely exterminate the Grand Elder's lineage in Beyond the Heavens; I have already agreed with the Human Race, this battle will surely be no problem, you all must also prepare well, when we strike we absolutely cannot let a single person from the Grand Elder's lineage escape."

The Third Elder is full of confidence, with the Human Race and the Barbarian God Tribe as these two powerful external allies; what can the Grand Elder use to fight him?

As long as he dares to leave the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm, that will be his death.

Faced with the Third Elder's full confidence, Hui Yu and the Clan Chief of the Shadow Demon Race, although they didn't say much on the surface, inwardly they couldn't help but feel helpless.

"You've already been sold out and still haven't noticed a thing; talking about killing the Grand Elder, this time going to Beyond the Heavens, I'm afraid you'll all die together."
