Durut's words immediately made Jiang Feng realize the most serious problem.
Durut, who had come out of the clan, had ultimately run into the enemy he least wished to face: an old acquaintance from the clan.
Jiang Feng now understood why that scout had not proactively named the enemy general.
At this point, Durut came back to his senses and said:

Jiang Feng nodded. "Rest assured, General. I will never doubt your loyalty to the tribe."
Durut cast Jiang Feng a grateful look, then said softly:
"Chieftain, I have an unreasonable request. I hope you can grant it."
Jiang Feng readily replied, "Please speak, General. So long as it is reasonable, I will not refuse."
Durut nodded. "To be honest, the commander of the clan army this time is my benefactor and master from after I ascended to the God Realm. His name is Yuan Zong."
"Everything I have today is thanks to Master Yuan Zong's guidance."
"Master has been upright and incorruptible his entire life. Yet it was precisely because of that uprightness, because he cared too much for the collective good, that he handed over the opportunity that could have changed his fate and fulfilled Qiang Changfeng instead."
"Now that Master is personally leading the campaign, the clan army's defeat is already set in stone. I only ask that, when the time comes, Chieftain give Master a chance."
"Let me personally persuade Master to surrender."
Jiang Feng was deeply moved by this. It was clear that Durut cared greatly for this master of his. This also proved that Durut was truly a man who embodied both righteousness and filial devotion.
Anyone whom Durut respected and revered so deeply must surely be as upright
