Chapter 813 Go Alone
"Great Elder, I have heard that in recent years, the forces of the Heavenly Court have infiltrated the Tianhe Starfield faster and faster, especially in the past three years, nearly thirty planets in the Tianhe Starfield have fallen into the hands of the ancient barbarians." Shi Mu said.
The great elder was silent for a while after hearing the words, and did not speak.
Shi Mu pondered for a while, and continued: "Although we are relatively in the rear now, if we keep watching from the sidelines, if the sky phoenix, earth dragon, and pan tortoise are no longer supported, this place may not escape the disaster. So I think we People should be sent to participate in this grand ceremony of the Tianfeng Clan."
"Elder Shi means that he wants to form an alliance with the Tianfeng clan?" The Great Elder said with his eyebrows raised slightly.
"That's right. Now our clan can be described as internal and external troubles. It would be the best if we can form an alliance with the Tianfeng clan in order to jointly fight against the Heavenly Court." Shi Mu nodded.
"Elder Shi's words are reasonable, but I'm afraid it won't be fulfilled." The Great Elder said after pondering for a while.
"Why?" Shi Mu asked.
"Most of the people in the clan are conservative, even Baizang may not agree with it. How about this, I will call people from the clan together to discuss how to proceed," said the Great Elder.
"Alright." Shi Mu nodded.
"Come here." The Great Elder said loudly.
A member of the giant ape tribe outside the main hall came in, saluted, and said, "Great Elder."
"Call all the elders, the Cave Master will come here, and after half an hour, a clan meeting will be held." The Great Elder ordered.
"Yes!" The man quickly agreed, turned and walked out.
In the main hall, neither Shi Mu nor Shi Mu spoke, as if they had their own concerns, the hall fell silent for a while.
A moment later, with the sound of breaking through the air, a figure appeared outside the hall and walked in.
The first two were Bai Zang and Bai Pi, when they saw Shi Mu here, Bai Zang smiled and walked towards Shi Mu.
"Elder Shi Mu has retreated for ten years, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of the holy rank, which is really gratifying." Bai Zang said hehe.
"Thank you, it's just a fluke." Shi Mu nodded with a smile.
Bai Pi cast a cold glance at Shi Mu, walked aside without saying a word, and sat down by himself.
Immediately behind the two came in were eight giant ape clan members with different skin colors, all of whom were at the holy level.
Shi Mu turned his gaze and glanced at those people.
The Mitian Giant Ape clan is divided into eight caves, and each cave has a cave owner who is in charge of it.
Although it was the first time he participated in the clan assembly in the years since he joined the Great Ape Clan and became the Fourth Elder, and he had limited knowledge of the clan's situation, he could still guess that the eight people in front of him should be the eight Cave Masters.
Among the eight people, Bai Hong who had met once before was surprisingly also among them, unexpectedly this person was also a cave master.
When Shi Mu glanced over, Bai Hong also happened to look over, a cold look flashed in his eyes.
So people sit down separately according to their seats.
"I don't know why the Great Elder summoned us?" Bai Pi asked first.
The rest of the people also showed inquiries.
"Everyone, the purpose of calling everyone here today is for a major event that happened in the Milky Way Starfield recently." The Great Elder said straight to the point.
Everyone present, except for Shi Mu, was startled when they heard the words, looked at each other a few times, and once again focused their eyes on the Great Elder.
"I don't know if you have heard that the Tianfeng Clan has elected a new saint, and the succession ceremony is about to be held. The Tianfeng Clan has invited many forces from the Tianhe Star Region to participate in the ceremony." The Great Elder continued after a pause.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone below buzzed with discussion, and most of them looked surprised, obviously they didn't know about it yet.
Shi Mu's eyes swept across the faces of the crowd, and he couldn't help but sighed softly.
Judging from the reactions in the depths of these people's eyes, what the Great Elder said was true. Although these people were surprised, they didn't look very interested.
"Oh, it turned out to be this matter. I just heard about it. Why did the Great Elder talk about it? Could it be that he wants to send someone to participate in this grand ceremony?" Bai Pi said with a frown.
Hearing this, the eight cave masters looked at the Great Elder again, and the complexions of several of them changed slightly.
"Great Elder, this matter must never happen, we have lived in seclusion for a long time, and we managed to escape the eyes and ears of the Heavenly Court.
The situation in the Milky Way Starfield is tense now, and the battle between the three major clans and the Heavenly Court is in full swing. If I show up at this moment, the Heavenly Court will definitely watch us here, and there will be endless troubles by then! "A gray-haired giant ape said anxiously.
"What Cave Master Bai Ju said is true, not to mention that the relationship between the Tianfeng clan and our giant ape clan was not very good before. If we send people to participate in their grand ceremony, we might be framed by them." Bai Hong said loudly.
"That's right!"
"Great Elder, this stable life is not easy to come by, please think twice!"
Several other cave masters were also chattering and objected one after another, only one or two cave masters remained silent.
The Great Elder turned his head and glanced at Shi Mu, showing a helpless expression
"Everyone, this is not what the Great Elder intended. I am the one who proposed to participate in the Tianfeng Clan Ceremony." Shi Mu was silent for a while, stood up, and said.
As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of all the cave masters turned and fell on Shi Mu one after another.
Speaking of which, after Shi Mu joined the giant ape clan ten years ago, he has been out of seclusion for a long time and rarely shows up in the clan. Although these cave masters know about this, they are not familiar with it.
Seeing Shi Mu standing up at this time, the eight people present had different expressions, but they looked at the First Elder and the others, and chose to keep silent.
"No wonder, only Elder Shi Mu can come up with such an idea." Seeing that no one spoke, Bai Pi said with a sneer.
"Elders, cave masters, listen to me. Over the years, the Heavenly Court's attack on the Tianhe Starfield has been accelerating. Although there are three clans of Tianfeng, Dilong, and Pangui on the front line to resist, the strength of the Heavenly Court is far from I can imagine that the three clans will be unable to resist one day sooner or later. I think you all know the truth that if there is no skin, the hair will not be attached. The hatred between the heavenly court and the giant ape clan is as deep as the sea, and there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation , What shall we do at that time? The only way out is to unite all the racial forces of the Milky Way Starfield and drive the Heavenly Court out of the Milky Way Starfield." Shi Mu ignored Bai Pi and said.
"Fight against the Heavenly Court? You said it lightly, how much do you know about the strength of the Heavenly Court, and you dare to say such big words? The situation is now very different from a thousand years ago, and the strength of my giant apes can no longer be compared with before. Confronting the Heavenly Court is purely courting death." Bai Pi said coldly.
"The third elder is right, and the Tianfeng clan is now in full swing. The main purpose of holding the saintess succession ceremony this time is probably to take this opportunity to form an alliance with the other two major clans and call other races around to go to the battlefield. Why should we Go up to this muddy water by yourself?" Bai Hong said.
"Besides, we haven't received any invitations, so it can be seen that they don't take us seriously at all." A cave master said.
"That's right. Our giant ape family is hiding here. It's very safe. It's impossible for people from Heaven to find us. What we should do now is to recuperate. When we recover our strength, we can fight against Heaven." Another obese The cave master said.
"Cave masters, this place is already under the surveillance of the Heavenly Court, how could they give us time to cultivate?" Shi Mu said with a wry smile.
"Elder Shi Mu, your words are a bit alarmist. We have not been found here at all. You said that people from the heavenly court will monitor this place, but what evidence do you have?" asked the fat cave master.
"When I first came here, I beheaded several ancient barbarians. The Great Elder and many others witnessed it with their own eyes." Shi Mu glanced at the three elders not far away, and said.
"It was just an accident back then. I sent people to patrol around the group these years, but I didn't find any people from the Heavenly Court at all." The fat cave master shook his body, a trace of fear flashed in his pupils, and said forcefully in his mouth.
Shi Mu looked at the fat cave master, and felt a little amused in his heart. There are still such people who deceive themselves and refuse to face reality in the world.
"Okay, there's no need to argue anymore. Since the discussion can't reach a result, let's vote separately." The Great Elder waved his hand and said loudly.
Everyone nodded.
"Those who agree to go to the Tianfeng Clan and participate in the grand ceremony, stand up." The Great Elder looked around and said slowly.
Shi Mu stood up and looked at the people around him.
Elder Baizang, who had been silent all this time, hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up.
Seeing Bai Zang standing up, the two cave masters who had been silent from the beginning looked at each other, then slowly got up.
But everyone else sat quietly in their chairs, and even the Great Elder didn't move.
When Shi Mu saw this, although he had expected it, he was still a little disappointed and frowned.
"Four to eight, Elder Shi Mu, I'm sorry." The First Elder said lightly.
Shi Mu sighed, shook his head, and sat down.
"Since the matter has been finished, I still have something to do, so I will take my leave." With a sarcastic smile on his face, Bai Pi stood up and walked outside.
The eight cave masters also stood up one after another, bid farewell to the elder and the others, and left quickly.
Not long after, only Shi Mu, Bai Zang and the Great Elder were left in the hall.
"Elder Shi, I'm sorry, most of them have lost their fighting spirit now, and I don't want to increase the casualties. As the Great Elder, I can't go against the wishes of my tribe." The Great Elder said.
Shi Mu shook his head and smiled wryly. With the reminder from the First Elder, he was not too surprised by the current situation.
"Great Elder, since the clan doesn't intend to participate in the grand ceremony, I won't force it, but I plan to go this time to investigate the situation of Tianfeng and other three clans and the Heavenly Court." Shi Mu pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said.
"It's too dangerous, you can't do it!" Bai Zang said with a change of expression.
The Great Elder frowned upon hearing this.
"Don't worry, the two elders, I am going this time with my own identity, not to mention that I am a human race, and I will never expose the giant ape family." Shi Mu said with a slight smile.
