Chapter 2957: We've Been Cowardly for Far Too Long

~7 min read 1,217 words

An elder stared resentfully at the fatty before him, "Are we looking down on ourselves? Damn it, we used to have no backing."

If we had a patron, we'd have flipped the table ages ago—how could we have tolerated this till now?

Since we've decided to seize power, you're still this lazy—surely that's not appropriate.

Faced with that utterly resentful stare, the Second Elder soon yielded, saying helplessly.

"Alright, alright, I'll hold the fort; you just follow the plan, okay?"

As he spoke, a Línglì light curtain appeared before the Second Elder, projecting the entire Feather God Tribe's Shenjie onto it.

This is a unique method of the Second Elder: through divine sense induction, he can directly transform everything shrouded by his divine sense into a Línglì map.

To achieve this, it requires not only tight Línglì control but also sufficiently powerful soul force.

Not exaggerating, among the Feather God Tribe's three great elders, the Second Elder's soul force is the strongest—even the Grand Elder can't match him by a long shot.

Just from this point, the Second Elder isn't useless; he's simply lazy.

Seeing the Second Elder even condense a Línglì map, that elder's expression eased a bit, and he replied respectfully.

"Yes."

He then hastily withdrew; but as soon as he left, the Línglì map dissipated, the Second Elder shifted to a comfortable pose and enjoyed eating a Líng fruit.

Maintaining that Línglì map consumes some mental effort; it's entirely unnecessary.

He didn't realize that just after he left, his own elder would immediately lie flat again, paying no heed to the plan's progress.

At this moment, many elders of the Second Elder's faction, following the prearranged plan, quickly stormed into the Dong Fu of the Grand Elder and Third Elder's lineages.

Their numbers were not few, but most had followed them to Beyond the Heavens, leaving behind at home mostly women and children.

One of those Dong Fu belonged to an elder under the Grand Elder's command, a trusted confidant of theirs.

At that moment, that elder directly broke the Dong Fu's seal and led people charging inside.

The sudden upheaval initially frightened the women inside the Dong Fu.

But when she saw who had come, the fear on her face quickly vanished, replaced by fury, and she shouted angrily at that elder.

"You're courting death—daring to barge into my home Dong Fu?"

"I thought something had happened; turns out it's the Second Elder's faction—are these guys sick?"

"Instead of waiting to die at home, what are you doing running over here?"

In the past, whenever this elder saw her husband, she'd have to put on a smiling face.

After seeing it for a while, the woman naturally stopped regarding him highly.

No matter what, in the end any trouble that reaches the Grand Elder sees them bowing—it's always the Second Elder's lineage lowering their heads.

Formerly they still held some power, but these years, as the Grand Elder and Third Elder's factions' struggle intensified,

the Second Elder's lineage's power was again split, losing more than half.

Put bluntly, the people of the Second Elder's lineage now are just a bunch of dazed, waiting-to-die good-for-nothings.

Having observed the woman's series of expression changes, and now hearing her rebuke, that elder's face instantly darkened to the extreme.

Their showing up at the door was already extremely rude—directly forcing open the seal—clearly they came with ill intent.

Moreover, your Grand Elder's lineage's strong ones have all gone to Beyond the Heavens, leaving only orphans and widows at home—given this situation, damn it, do you still dare to act high and mighty before me?

Especially, although that woman was indeed frightened at first, once she saw who had come, she damn well wasn't afraid anymore.

You really think my Second Elder's lineage are mascots? Truth is, we've been cowardly for far too long.

Feeling stifled and furious, without further words, that elder slapped the woman, sending her flying, and coldly cursed.

"Did I give you face?"

Slapped to the ground, the woman was obviously dazed, staring blankly at those before her.

She never imagined the Second Elder's lineage would dare strike her—are they mad? Doesn't she know who she is?

Her gaze locked firmly on the elder who struck her, the woman shouted angrily.

"You dare hit me?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? Seize them—everyone in this Dong Fu, even a dog, must not be allowed to escape."

"Yes."

Upon hearing that, the Second Elder's lineage tribesmen behind him immediately surged forward like tigers among sheep, charging straight into the Dong Fu.

Not long after, shouts and angry curses came from the Dong Fu's rear courtyard.

"Who? Who are you? What do you want?"

"Crazy—are you all mad? Dare to act violently in my home?"

However, facing those angry shouts, the Second Elder's faction paid them no heed.

Back then they'd likely have stopped; no, actually back then they couldn't have done such a thing at all.

But now, each member of the Second Elder's lineage is fierce, their methods brutish.

Soon, everyone inside the Dong Fu was gathered together; some appeared to have been beaten, clearly having resisted, and were directly given a lesson by the Second Elder's lineage.

By this point, the woman also sensed something was off, looking at the leading elder she said.

"You……………………what do you want to do?"

Upon hearing that, the elder gave a cold smile.

"I didn't intend anything—just that the heavens of this clan should change; take them all down to be temporarily imprisoned in the great jail, under strict guard."

"Yes."

At once, members of the Second Elder's lineage stepped forward to grab and pull; naturally the Dong Fu's people were frightened badly, some wanting to struggle.

But what they got in return was naturally a flurry of punches and kicks—at this point there's no pleasant expression to be had.

By now, even if the woman were foolish, she could see that the Second Elder's lineage was seeking to seize power opportunistically.

Taking advantage of the Grand Elder and Third Elder taking people to Beyond the Heavens, the clan's Shenjie lay empty, and they suddenly launched an attack.

Thinking of this, the woman's heart went cold, for in this Shenjie the Grand Elder and Third Elder branches truly have no power to resist the Èr Zhǎnglǎo branch.

Moreover, they not only lack any preparation, they don't even have any precautions.

After all, who would guard against the Èr Zhǎnglǎo branch? For so many years they have always endured if they could, never fighting back when struck or insulted; who would think they pose a threat?

Unexpectedly, after holding in this resentment for so many years, as soon as they act they show no mercy.

Now even if they wanted to contact the Grand Elder, there's no chance; they were already seized at the first moment.

In the Dong Fu of this Grand Elder lineage's Elder, all relatives have been locked up in the prison.

And just like here, this situation is occurring everywhere in the Shenjie of the Feather God Tribe; the people of the Èr Zhǎnglǎo branch swarm out in full force, their methods even more brutal and barbaric, giving you no chance at all.

The heavens of the Feather God Tribe seem to be truly changing today.
