Chapter 2057: Chapter 2054: Forcing the Throne

"Absolutely not!" Ye Luo was startled: "Princess Mia, you can’t go in, now Ling Feng already harbors hostility towards our Dark Feather Elf Clan, in case..."

"There is no ’in case,’ if I don’t go and save him, he’s doomed!" Mia said anxiously, "I brought him back, if he is innocent and dies because of this, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life!"

As she spoke, Mia turned to leave, and Ye Luo quickly blocked her way.

"Mia, if you really want to go, you should at least inform the Clan Leader, and I will send someone to accompany you to ensure your safety!"

Mia shook her head: "It’s unnecessary, I’m very safe in the Beehive, you don’t have to worry about me. However, you should inform my grandfather, I won’t go!"

Saying this, Mia bypassed Ye Luo and dashed away.

"Captain, what should we do now?" The vice-captain asked Ye Luo: "Are we really letting the Little Princess enter?"

Ye Luo glared at him: "Are you stupid or am I? Hurry and send someone to follow... As for the Clan Leader, I will go apologize with my humble plea!"

...

Mia moved quickly; in the blink of an eye she had reached the entrance of the Beehive, facing the swirling masses of Blazing Poison Bees above, her face showed no unease but rather a hint of joy.

Actually, aside from the Clan Leader, others didn’t know Mia was born with an ability to communicate with all things in nature. These Blazing Poison Bees, which seemed very aggressive to outsiders, in Mia’s eyes were as docile as kittens.

This was Mia’s source of confidence, because here, no one could really harm her.

"I’m here!" Mia approached the Beehive and greeted the Blazing Poison Bees hovering in midair.

The Blazing Poison Bees buzzed excitedly, circling around Mia several times; from afar Mia appeared surrounded by them.

However, inside the encirclement, Mia was very happy, she could feel each Blazing Poison Bee’s affection towards her.

"By the way, I need to see the Bee King, please lead the way!" Mia said, blinking.

Hundreds of Blazing Poison Bees led Mia toward the depths of the Beehive, and Mia followed closely behind.

An hour later, Mia reached the deepest part of the Beehive, and finally saw the Bee King of the Blazing Poison Bees.

"I’ve come to see you." Mia walked forward and gently hugged the Bee King, which was about the same size as her.

The Bee King extended its wings to pat Mia, indicating its affinity for her.

"I came today to ask for your help!" Mia said, "I have a friend who accidentally got lost here, I am worried he is in danger, so I came to ask for your assistance. Please ask the other Blazing Poison Bees to search, and if found, notify me immediately, okay?"

The Bee King nodded, then buzzed.

Mia quickly described Ling Feng’s appearance, saying: "If you encounter him, do not engage or confront him, just inform me!"

The Bee King nodded again, and then issued commands, conveying messages from the Bee King, instantly reaching the entire Beehive’s millions of Blazing Poison Bees with its signal.

All at once, the entire Beehive was bustling with countless Blazing Poison Bees wandering about, searching for Ling Feng.

This carpet search stunned Yun Zhong and others.

"What the hell is going on, why have the Blazing Poison Bees outside suddenly rioted? And judging by the situation, it won’t take long before they find us!" Yun Zhong’s expression was grave, feeling things had gone beyond his expectation.

Originally, with the Natural Cloak, enduring a week wasn’t an issue, but now it seems...

He thought about it and crushed the leaf left by the Elder, until that Elder arrived, he could only pray the Blazing Poison Bees wouldn’t find them.

During the meeting, the Elder sensed the leaf being crushed, couldn’t help but frown: "That Yun Zhong, he doesn’t understand the gravity of the situation, crushed the leaf so soon? Doesn’t he know I have more important things to attend to?"

"Clan Leader, our Dark Feather Elf Clan treasure is missing, someone must take responsibility for this!" The Second Elder said indifferently, "If we can’t distinguish reward and punishment, how can we lead?"

The Clan Leader’s brow furrowed slightly: "Second Elder, what do you mean? Right now, our priority is to find the treasure, we’ll address reward and punishment after finding it!"

"Clan Leader, those words are misguided!" another elder also stood up: "All our tribesmen are filled with righteous indignation, they believe though outsiders did this, the Eighth Elder tasked with protecting the treasure cannot escape blame!"

"Many tribesmen demand Eighth Elder resign and be punished, if Eighth Elder faces no penalty, there will be no compliance!" Second Elder also said.

The Clan Leader’s brow wrinkled, Eighth Elder’s duty was to guard the treasure, and the Eighth Elder was also the Clan Leader’s own brother; if he were truly punished, it would greatly undermine the Clan Leader’s authority, but the Clan Leader knows clearly this matter must be addressed since the treasure went missing on Elder Eight’s watch.

"Clan Leader, I am willing to accept punishment!" Eighth Elder, seeing his brother’s worried expression, stood up, saying: "However, before that, I have something to say, I never disclosed the treasure’s location to anyone, but it has indeed been lost, I bear full responsibility, but I suspect, this is absolutely not accomplished by outsiders alone!"

The Second Elder’s face showed a sinister expression: "Old Eight, what do you mean, suggesting there’s a traitor among us? Claiming someone sold the treasure?"

"I never said that, but... This possibility cannot be ruled out!" Eighth Elder had already decided to face the situation, saying solemnly: "I am willing to accept punishment, but that doesn’t mean some people can evade it!"

The Clan Leader said solemnly: "Enough, Elder Eight, from now, your elder status is suspended, reflect on your actions behind closed doors, discuss matters further when resolved!"

The Second Elder was about to speak again, but was interrupted by the Clan Leader’s wave: "Second Elder, I know you care for our Dark Feather Elf Clan, but the immediate priority is finding the treasure, everything else must take a back seat!"

"Moreover..." the Clan Leader looked around at the elders: "I don’t suspect any traitors among us, I only hope we can unite now, having lost the treasure, how can we, the Dark Feather Elf Clan face the Goddess of Nature?"

"Clan Leader, however according to ancestral teachings, only the one who retrieves the treasure can become Clan Leader, no?" at this moment, an elder who had been silent spoke calmly: "How about this, whoever finds the treasure first becomes our Dark Feather Elf Clan’s new Clan Leader, what do you say?"
