God of Cooking, Monster: No, we have become ingredients

Let's leave Chapter 2726 sealed for now.

The chieftain of the Fire Spirit Tribe was filled with bitterness and confusion.

He didn't even mention the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts from before, but now even his own backer, the Iron Peak Tribe, has colluded with the Flame Martial Tribe.

The chieftain of the Fire Spirit tribe couldn't understand what was going on.

Are the people of the Yanwu tribe poisonous? Does anyone who gets involved with them suffer?

However, the old man didn't care about any of that and looked calmly at the chief of the Fire Spirit Tribe.

Under the other party's gaze, the Fire Spirit Tribe Chief could only turn to look at the Flame Warrior Tribe Chief, and the two began to discuss the matter.

With the support of the Tiefeng tribe, the old chieftain was naturally very bold.

Even your powerful backer has said so, so I'm not going unless I rip you off handsomely.

Ye Changqing didn't get involved in the tug-of-war between the two clan leaders, since he couldn't understand it anyway.

Before long, even the elders of the two tribes, as well as Qi Wu and Huo Ming, joined the pulling.

The two groups were arguing incessantly.

However, in the end, even though the Fire Spirit Tribe tried their best, they still had to give in with the support of the Iron Edge Tribe.

An exorbitant amount of compensation was offered to the Yanwu tribe.

The amount of compensation made the people of the Fire Spirit Tribe feel a pang of heartache whenever they thought about it.

This is practically like cutting flesh with a knife!

There was nothing they could do; even their own backer had sided with someone else.

Once the compensation was settled, the old clan elder was beaming with joy, his expression one of pure happiness.

"Alright, now that things are settled, you should get on with it as soon as possible."

The old man and the burly man standing to the side didn't waste any words. Seeing that the two sides had settled the matter, they casually said something.

Upon hearing this, the people of the Fire Spirit Tribe gritted their teeth and nodded.

Immediately, the chieftain of the Fire Spirit Tribe spoke.

"Since we've agreed, then our cultivation levels..."

The cultivation levels of everyone in the Fire Spirit Tribe, from top to bottom, are still sealed at this moment.

In the eyes of the Yanwu tribe chief, since things have been agreed upon, shouldn't you unlock this cultivation level for me?

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the old patriarch quickly spoke up.

"You haven't paid the compensation yet. What if you go back on your word after we undo your cultivation now?"

It's important to know that the old man and the burly man won't stay here for long.

They were going to take Ye Changqing back to the Tiefeng tribe.

But who knows how long this journey will take?

Without the Iron Peak Tribe and Ye Changqing, the Yanwu Tribe wouldn't even be able to command the tree ghosts of the Black Mist Forest.

If the Fire Spirit Tribe defaults on their debt, they'll be in a difficult position.

However, upon hearing this, the chieftain of the Fire Spirit Tribe immediately retorted angrily.

"What are you saying?"

"That's exactly what I meant."

The Fire Spirit Tribe Chief was furious, but the old chief showed no mercy and retorted without a second thought.

The two argued, but the elder of the Iron Peak tribe stood firmly on the side of the old patriarch without hesitation and said something indifferently.

"Since you're worried, then keep it sealed off. Without cultivation, it can't threaten you."

Ok? ? ?

Upon hearing this, everyone from the Fire Spirit Tribe present was stunned. What kind of talk was this? What did they mean by continuing to seal it off?

Without cultivation, they would become fish on someone else's chopping board, to be killed whenever they wanted.

His eyes widened as he stared at the Iron Peak tribe, his gaze filled with shock and a hint of resentment.

Fine, fine, so this is how you guys play? You're completely disregarding the lives of our entire race.

Since you have no sense of friendship, then don't blame me...

The chieftain of the Fire Spirit Tribe thought to himself, while the old man, facing his gaze, casually asked a question.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there a problem?"

No, no.

"That's good."

With their cultivation sealed, the Fire Spirit Tribe would be completely powerless to resist, and would be at the mercy of the Flame Martial Tribe.

Neither the old man nor the burly man were interested in getting involved in what happened after that.

After finding Ye Changqing and discussing the matter, they decided to set off the next day.

Tianlin and Miao Qianqian accompanied Ye Changqing as translators.

The other people were originally going to come along too, so we could look out for each other along the way.

However, Ye Changqing rejected them all, and the reason was quite simple.

"If the Iron Peak Tribe really wants to make a move, the outcome will be the same whether all of us go together or just the three of us go alone. There's no need to drag everyone down with us."

There's not much point in everyone going along; they won't be of much help. It mainly depends on Ye Changqing himself and whether he can persuade the Tiefeng tribe chief.

After dinner that day, Ye Changqing went to bed early. The next morning, he left the Fire Spirit Tribe after being seen off by the Yanwu Tribe members and other human companions.

Of course, I had to make arrangements with the tree spirits in the Black Mist Forest before leaving.

Ye Changqing made a promise to these tree spirits that he would leave for a while and then cook them a big meal when he returned, as a way of making up for it.

Surprisingly, these tree spirits didn't show much emotion in response.

Even Ye Changqing doubted whether they understood what he meant.

This shouldn't be such a cold response.

When I tried to leave, these tree spirits didn't react at all. That's not right.

However, time was of the essence, and Ye Changqing didn't think too much about it before leaving with the people of the Tiefeng tribe.

Upon leaving the Fire Spirit Tribe, the Iron Peak Tribe members were all extremely excited.

The journey was long and tedious, making it hard to muster any enthusiasm.

But with Ye Changqing around, the feeling was completely different, since there was no need to worry about food along the way.

With Ye Changqing around, the group can enjoy delicious food while traveling, which sounds incredibly exciting.

Indeed, this was the case. They had only just left the Fire Spirit Tribe and had traveled less than twenty miles when the burly man suggested stopping to rest.

"Young friend Ye, you must be tired. Let's rest here for a while."

Ok? ? ?

Upon hearing this, Ye Changqing was stunned. Wait, how far have we walked? What's there to be tired about?

This distance is so short, even if you went to the lower realms to find an ordinary person without cultivation, let alone everyone present, it wouldn't be too tiring.

We've only gone less than twenty miles.

And you guys are just taking a break, why did you even set up the stove for me?

After being pleaded with by the people of the Tiefeng tribe, Ye Changqing reluctantly went up to the stove.

I casually cooked a bowl of noodles for everyone.

Although it was just a simple bowl of noodles, the Tiefeng tribe members still ate it with great satisfaction.

After finishing a large bowl of noodles, both the old man and the burly man patted their bellies and exclaimed with satisfaction.

"Have you all finished eating? If you have, let's continue on our way. Stop dawdling and get ready to go."

Dawdling? You have the nerve to say that?
