Chapter 2956: All Have Confidence

Third Elder was still there fantasizing about what would happen after getting rid of Grand Elder, completely failing to notice the oddness of Hui Yu and the Shadow Demon Clan Chief.

The two still haven't figured out what the Human Race actually wants to do—aren't they supposed to be cooperating with Third Elder?

But there is one thing the two can be certain of: Third Elder has already been sold out.

Could it be that Grand Elder has also made contact with the Human Race? Are they all this black-hearted?

The two never even thought of looking to the patriarch, because that seems too exaggerated; in their view, the most likely scenario is that Grand Elder has also secretly contacted the Human Race, offered higher terms, and the Human Race side agreed.

So they should now be considered part of Grand Elder's side?

After all, given the current situation, bluntly speaking, whoever the Human Race chooses, they become that person's people.

Thinking of this, Hui Yu and the Shadow Demon Clan Chief feel helpless—it's like kicking a ball back and forth.

But there's nothing they can do; they can't influence the Human Race's decision.

Seeing Third Elder's overconfident appearance, Hui Yu and the Shadow Demon Clan Chief only feel that this guy seems a bit foolish, and the Human Race's decision doesn't seem wrong either.

They had many thoughts inside, but showed nothing on the surface; immersed in the joy of victory, Third Elder didn't notice any problem at all.

After giving the instructions, he let the two go prepare; having plotted for so long, the time to reap has finally come, which makes Third Elder unable to contain his excitement.

One night passed quickly; by the next day, Third Elder and Grand Elder had each mustered their own lineage's forces and were ready to set out for Beyond the Heavens.

Both sides made ample preparations, essentially bringing the main fighting strength of their respective lineages.

Left behind in Shenjie were only the old, weak, women, and children, plus a few others mainly tasked with guarding the home.

To successfully wipe out the opposition, both sides can be said to have given their all.

In Third Elder's army, Hui Yu, the Shadow Demon Clan members, each wore a complex look as they gazed at Grand Elder.

Having learned the Human Race's decision, everyone now feels ambiguous toward Grand Elder.

After all, under normal circumstances, they are now undercover operatives beside Third Elder, but in reality they have become Grand Elder's people.

Look at the number of people they've taken from Third Elder's lineage—almost a third—and if they rebel, Third Elder could directly declare them deserving of death.

Yet for now, Third Elder remains in the dark, living in a dream of spring and autumn.

At this moment, standing at the front of the line, Third Elder smiled and said to Grand Elder.

"Grand Elder, in this trip to Beyond the Heavens, we must exterminate them to the root."

"That's natural; since we've already taken action, how could we leave any hidden trouble?"

"Good, then let's go."

"Good."

The two seemingly said just a few words, then immediately led their troops out of the Feather God Tribe's Shenjie and headed straight for Beyond the Heavens.

This time, the forces assembled by Grand Elder and Third Elder are numerous—indeed, tens of thousands of Feather God Tribe members.

Moreover, they are all the tribe's core strength.

At first they weren't in a rush to attack, after all they had already lured the enemy out of Shenjie, and there would be plenty of chances.

Judging by appearance, Grand Elder's strength truly exceeds Third Elder's; without other help, Third Elder is no match for Grand Elder's lineage.

But Third Elder isn't panicking at all; he alone wouldn't be enough, but he has outside aid.

The Human Race and the Barbarian God Tribe possess such external support; taking down Grand Elder is no easy feat.

Both sides are overconfident, certain of victory, believing no mishap will occur.

Each harboring secret thoughts, they fail to realize that their departure will bring tremendous change to the Feather God Tribe's Shenjie.

When the two left, Second Elder also came personally to see them off.

He didn't say much, and even his presence was minimal; Grand Elder and Third Elder didn't pay much attention to him.

No matter who ends up in charge, Second Elder is merely a mascot, posing no threat.

But right now, this mascot, just after returning to his residence, had a junior elder rush over hurriedly to say.

"Second Elder, everything is ready—should we act now?"

They had already drafted a plan; it isn't overly meticulous, but the current situation is already sufficient.

Being too careful, Second Elder finds it troublesome and can't be bothered to think so much.

After all, the people have been taken away by Grand Elder and Third Elder; those left are mostly women and children.

What elaborate plan is needed to deal with these people? Just suppress them directly.

Upon hearing that, looking at this elder, Second Elder said indifferently.

"You handle it as you see fit."

Hmm???

Upon hearing that, the elder blinked; usually you complain about trouble, but now at this time you're still like this?

The elder was also speechless; actually, regarding Second Elder's actions this time, they all fully support it.

So upon learning this, they immediately nodded in agreement without further thought.

There's no way around it—Second Elder lacks ambition, doesn't contend or grab, which results in his lineage's people indeed living hard lives in the tribe.

Among the many elders of the tribe, the number belonging to Second Elder's lineage is the smallest, not even half of the combined numbers of Grand Elder and Third Elder's lineages.

Most of the elder positions that should have belonged to Second Elder's lineage have been snatched away by those two lineages.

Moreover, Second Elder doesn't care about this, even saying, "If you're not an elder, you're not an elder—what's wrong with that?"

Besides being fewer in number, the power in their hands has been further marginalized.

In any case, good fortune will certainly not fall on their lineage; it has long been taken by Grand Elder and Third Elder's two lineages.

This is the drawback of having no leader.

For so many years, the people of Second Elder's lineage have lived stifled, harboring a pent-up breath in their hearts.

Therefore, when Second Elder spoke of this, those elders agreed without hesitation.

Having thought they had finally risen, Second Elder also saw their repression and wanted to gain a breath of relief.

I never expected this guy to be unchanged; for such a big matter, you're not personally overseeing it—you're letting me take charge?

He looked at Èr Zhǎnglǎo with a complex expression, and the elder couldn't help but say.

"Second Elder, this matter is of great importance; I'm afraid you need to personally take charge."

Without you, everyone lacks a backbone; this is no joking matter—if we fail, people will die.

Given the current situation, whether it's the Grand Elder or the Third Elder, once they fail, by the time they free up their hands, I'm afraid they won't leave this lineage any chance of survival—aren't you the slightest bit nervous?

However, facing this elder's advice, Èr Zhǎnglǎo remained uninterested and casually said.

"It's fine; the plan is already set, there's no difficulty—whether I'm here or not makes no difference. You can handle it, just don't underestimate yourselves."

"Second Elder, I haven't seen myself clearly, but for such a matter, wouldn't it be better if you personally took charge?"
