Life depends on acting skills

“Why is this happening?!”

Everyone’s mental state instantly shattered.

They felt as if their spines had been bent.

“Everyone, calm down!”

Alp said solemnly.

“There might be a hidden reason for this!”

“What hidden reason could there be?”

“As the Clan Chief, every action he takes represents the dignity of our Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan.”

“Where does the Clan Chief’s behavior leave our Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan?”

“I must report this to the Old Ancestor and harshly impeach him.”

Alp: “Before we clarify the truth of the matter, we must not jump to conclusions.”

“All of you, please be patient. I cultivate a Divine Ability called the Mind Divine Ability.”

“This method can block Divine Sense probing and allow for unhindered communication within a thousand li.”

“It won’t be too late to make a decision after I find out the reason.”

Alp calmed everyone’s emotions.

Only then did he begin to perform his wondrous method and communicate with his Clan Chief.

On the other side!

Chicken One was not in a hurry to ask Phoenix Yingtian about the location of the Treasure Trove.

Instead, he immediately began to ‘train’ him.

Then, Phoenix Yingtian felt extremely miserable.

Chicken One either made him serve tea or pour water.

He even had to massage his shoulders and back!

What kind of existence was he?

At his Peak, he was a Saint Realm cultivator.

Looking at the entire Central Continent, he was a hegemon.

When had he ever done such menial tasks?

This made him feel that his dignity had been severely insulted, his personality trampled upon, and his body and mind ravaged.

Just at this moment.

A voice came into his mind.

“Clan Chief, I am Alp. You, how did you fall to such a state?!”

Facing this sudden voice, Phoenix Yingtian’s heart stirred with excitement.

He had never felt that the voice of an inconspicuous small leader could be so moving.

He naturally knew Alp’s ability well.

He knew this was the other party’s Mind Divine Ability.

He showed no change in expression on his face, but communicated with him in his mind: “Alp, we’ll discuss this later.”

“Quickly go and call the Old Ancestor!”

“These people are extremely terrifying in strength!”

“Unless the Old Ancestor intervenes, they cannot be suppressed.”

“To avoid our Clan’s great plan in a few days, you must invite the Old Ancestor to suppress and kill them!”

Alp: “Clan Chief, we have already requested the Old Ancestor to act twice before.”

“But the Old Ancestor is currently refining his Divine Soul and has reached a critical moment, so it’s not suitable for him to move.”

Hearing this, Phoenix Yingtian’s heart sank.

“When will the Old Ancestor emerge from seclusion?”

“The Old Ancestor didn’t say, but according to my observation, the Old Ancestor will emerge when the Secret Realm is about to open.”

Doesn’t this mean I still have to suffer for several days?

Phoenix Yingtian’s face darkened.

To be honest.

He truly couldn’t stay here for even a minute longer.

At this moment, Alp spoke again.

“Clan Chief, why is this happening to you?”

“Why were you captured by them?”

“And why did you do such an act that disgraces the dignity of our Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan?”

“Now, the brothers are already somewhat dissatisfied with you, Clan Chief.”

“They say they want to go before the Old Ancestor and impeach you.”

It is said that wherever there are people, there are struggles.

Throughout the entire Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan, the Old Ancestor holds supreme authority.

Aside from the Old Ancestor, although the Clan Chief’s status is the highest.

The strength of the twelve leaders is not much inferior to the Clan Chief’s.

They also possess almost equivalent rights to the Clan Chief.

Therefore, when everyone saw the Clan Chief in this state, they were so enraged.

They threatened to go before the Old Ancestor and impeach him, to file a complaint.

Because in their opinion, no matter which of the twelve leaders took the position of Clan Chief, they would not perform in such a disappointing manner.

And Alp was Phoenix Yingtian’s confidant.

That’s why he tried his best to defend him.

After listening to Alp’s words, Phoenix Yingtian was startled.

Oh no!

Before, he only thought about how to escape.

He only thought about preserving his useful body to contribute to the Clan.

But he forgot what kind of blow his actions would cause to his prestige if they were to spread back.

He might even become a sinner of the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan.

As soon as he thought of this situation, his heart trembled.

Once that situation occurred.

His situation would definitely not be much better than it was now.

It might even be worse.

His mind raced, thinking of countermeasures; he absolutely could not let this situation happen.

After a long time.

His eyes lit up.

He had it!

On the other side, Alp waited for a long time but received no response from his Clan Chief.

His heart inexplicably sank.

Could it be that the Clan Chief had betrayed them?

As soon as he thought of this situation, he felt a dizzy spell.

If the Clan Chief betrayed them.

His situation, as the Clan Chief’s confidant, could be imagined.

Just as he was feeling uneasy.

Phoenix Yingtian finally responded.

“Do you think I have betrayed them?”

“I wouldn’t dare!”

Phoenix Yingtian: “I did indeed pledge allegiance to them.”

Alp became anxious: “Clan Chief, why is this?”

“Naturally, it is for our Clan’s grand plan for eternity!”

“These people showed extraordinary strength before.”

“They used a Venerable’s Soul to seize my Saint Realm Physical Body.”

“And they were not affected by the Cursed Killing Art at all.”

“The Cursed Killing Art is an indelible pain in our Clan’s heart.”

“Even the Old Ancestor has no way to decipher it now.”

“If I can find a way to decipher the Cursed Killing Art from them, then our Clan’s strength will instantly increase by a thousandfold.”

“Even if we leave this region, we can directly establish a foothold in the Central Continent.”

“For the eternal great cause of our Clan, what does it matter if I suffer a little grievance personally?”

Hearing this!

Alp was shaken.

“I knew it!”

“I knew that the Clan Chief could not possibly betray us.”

At this moment, he had already relayed Phoenix Yingtian’s words to the people around him.

Afterward, he almost roared out loud.

“This is our Clan Chief.”

“To decipher the Cursed Killing Art, he infiltrated the enemy’s ranks, enduring grievances and insults.”

“But what about you?”

“What did you do?”

“Reporting to the Old Ancestor, impeaching the Clan Chief.”

“Touch your consciences, does it hurt?”

“Although the Clan Chief said he only suffered a little grievance.”

“But is that something that can be described as a ‘little’ grievance?”

“The humiliation he suffered probably cannot be washed away by the waters of the Three Mountains and Five Lakes.”

Hearing this!

Each and every Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan member was greatly shaken.

Infinite regret arose in their hearts.

“The Clan Chief has sacrificed so much for us, yet we repaid him like this.”

“We are truly worse than pigs and dogs.”

Someone directly slapped himself hard.

While regretting in their hearts, a strong sense of reverence arose in everyone’s hearts.

No wonder the other party could be the Clan Chief, and they could not.

This spirit of self-sacrifice.

Who could do it?

If it were them, could they?

Each of them asked themselves, no, they couldn’t.

On the other side!

Phoenix Yingtian roughly knew what was happening above the clouds through Alp’s emotional fluctuations.

This made him let out a long sigh of relief.

That was close!

Indeed, life in this world truly depends on acting skills.

If he didn’t have a bit of acting skill, he would probably end up disgraced.
