Chapter 3050: You Can Still Run Back?

Watching this ox tribe member run back unharmed, even the previous innate demon race old ancestor grew curious, summoning it to ask personally.

After so many years, this is the first time the ox tribe has come this close to an old ancestor, even able to speak.

Before, when they were in the innate demon race divine realm, it could only glance at the old ancestor from afar, never getting a chance to approach.

Being able to get this close to the old ancestor this time, the ox tribe's excitement is easy to imagine.

After all, in the tribe, being summoned by any old ancestor is a great honor.

After returning to the tribe, it will earn the respect of its fellows.

But because of the excitement, plus just having escaped death, the fear in its heart hasn't fully faded.

So before the old ancestor, the ox tribe trembles uncontrollably, not daring to lift its head.

Even when faced with the old ancestor's question, it was dazed for a moment, hearing nothing.

After asking several times with no reply, that old ancestor lowered his gaze, frowned slightly, and spoke coldly.

"Why are you trembling? I'm asking you a question."

"I… old ancestor, I'm excited, finally seeing you."

Huh??

Hearing this, the innate demon race old ancestor's eyelids twitched—could this guy actually be capable? With such cowardice, how did he escape?

Could it be that the barbarian god tribe deliberately let it go?

Nevertheless, under questioning, the ox tribe laboriously recounted what happened.

Of course, facing the old ancestor's personal inquiry, it dared not hide anything, confessing everything frankly.

After hearing its words, the old ancestor doubted.

"You mean you were rescued by your own kind?"

"Yes, a fellow tribesman kicked me out, but they themselves…"

Those two ox demons of the same tribe—huh??

They never intended to save this coward; they were just angry and kicked it, but by a fluke, they ended up saving it.

But in its heart, this is a lifesaving grace; without that kick, it would have died long ago.

It's a pity, but now there's no chance to repay the favor, as those two tribesmen are likely doomed.

Previously they bullied it, yet at the critical moment they showed such responsibility, capable of such self‑sacrificing act.

Seeing that grateful expression, the old ancestor resignedly told it to step back.

This is too fantastical; something feels off.

But no matter what, one thing is certain: the barbarian god tribe surely harbors ill intent; if so…

Then the innate demon race old ancestor turned to the innate demon tribe old ancestor beside him and said.

"If that's the case, then the barbarian god tribe will likely need your demon tribe's help."

"Don't worry, stopping them is no problem."

Hearing that, the innate demon tribe old ancestor smiled and nodded.

"We don't need to win; we just need to act to block the barbarian god tribe, preventing them from interfering in human affairs."

"This isn't difficult; the innate demon tribe old ancestor is confident there's no issue."

Seeing this, the demon race old ancestor also felt somewhat relieved.

"As long as no other innate races intervene, the demon race's strength is enough to deal with humanity."

Meanwhile, although the Iron Peak Clan Chief brought back two demon tribe ingredients, the plan clearly failed.

Moreover, the demon tribe has already taken precautions; trying to deceive them again would surely fail.

"There's no good solution; the barbarian god tribe's first idea is to contact the human race for discussion."

"After all, playing these tricks is a human strength; the barbarian god tribe lacks such cunning and can't think of a good plan."

"Using the manifestation disk obtained from the human race, the two sides made contact and briefly explained the demon tribe's situation to humanity."

"Within the human race's immortal realm, in the Dao One Immortal Sect canteen, Yue Linxian, Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, Ye Zhangqing, and including Xu Jie and others are present."

"Seeing oil still glistening at everyone's mouths, the barbarian god tribe old ancestor looked envious."

"You just finished eating, huh?"

"The mealtime just passed; you must have just eaten."

"I'm starving to death."

"On the human side we're still eating, but they're out there with no chance to eat, so they can only have some dry rations."

"After a round of envy, jealousy, and hatred, they moved on to the main topic."

"Hearing the barbarian god tribe's words, Yue Linxian frowned."

"The demon tribe surely has us guarded already; ordinary methods probably won't work."

"Yeah, tricking them again is impossible."

"So what should we do now?"

"Hearing that, Qi Xiong and the others momentarily had no idea; only Hong Zun, too lazy to think, couldn't come up with a plan, so he turned his head to look at Xu Jie."

"He had no idea, but his own third disciple does—why bother him?"

"Seeing Xu Jie still leisurely drinking immortal tea there, Hong Zun spoke directly."

"Stop drinking, think of a plan."

"Playing these dirty tricks is obviously Xu Jie's forte—who could outdo him?"

"Hearing the master's words, Xu Jie set down his tea cup, lifted his gaze to the light screen above the manifestation disk, pondered a moment, then spoke."

"Under these circumstances, deception definitely won't work; they're prepared, so it's impossible to succeed. Since the soft approach fails, we must go hard."

"Hard?"

Hearing that, Hong Zun looked at Xu Jie with a doubtful expression; this kid actually said he wants to come hard—no way, this kid's personality isn't like that, how could he possibly come hard?

Given Xú Lǎosān's personality, if he can do something sneaky, he will definitely not confront you openly; if he can kill you covertly, he will definitely not attack you openly.

Could it be that even Xú Lǎosān has no way to deal with the current situation?

If that's really the case, the situation might be a bit bad.

A situation that even Xú Lǎosān can't handle—one can imagine how Xiōngxiǎn it is.

"Come hard? Then casualties would be hard to control."

Even Yue Linxian muttered a sentence; it's not that there's no chance of victory.

Just that if we don't consume a wave beforehand, casualties will be hard to control.

But right now there's no other option; it seems we can only go hard.

Seeing everyone gritting their teeth, Xu Jie said softly.

"Seniors, when I say we'll come hard, I don't mean recklessly; there's still a method to it."

"If you're coming hard, what's there to be particular about? Just go straight in."

"No, no, no, I say coming hard also has a method; since these Demon Race won't come willingly, we'll bring them by force, not start a direct war."

"You mean using the Heaven Hook Technique? That thing is useless against innate demons."

It seemed he thought of something; Hong Zun asked doubtfully.

They are familiar with the Heaven Hook Technique in the Dao One Immortal Sect, but the innate demons are too strong; trying to forcibly hook these innate demons would have a low success rate.

It works okay against ordinary acquired tribes, but against innate tribes the effect is minimal.

This had already been tried on the Barbarian God Tribe before; there was hardly any chance of success, the probability was too low.
