Chapter 2609 You've gone too far, old man.

Compared to sending Ye Changqing back to the Celestial City first, Huang Lao believed that staying with the Celestial Spirit Clan was undoubtedly safer.

After all, their entire clan has entrusted their lives to you. Unless something particularly drastic happens, they are unlikely to be in any danger.

Returning from the Celestial Spirit Clan to the Celestial Immortal City was not only a long journey, but Elder Huang also couldn't leave too many people to protect Ye Changqing.

With so few people, unexpected events are more likely to occur on the road.

If they were to encounter other extraterrestrial races, no one knows what would happen.

Upon hearing Elder Huang's words, Ye Changqing shook his head.

"No need, I'll go with you."

"You're going too? No, it's too dangerous. I don't know what the situation is like right now."

Upon hearing this, Old Huang was taken aback for a moment, but quickly shook his head and refused, saying, "No, I absolutely cannot let Ye boy go with me."

Ye Changqing also stated firmly in response.

“Elder Huang, I can be of help if I go. Since the Tian family patriarch and the others are in danger, the situation must be dire. My going might be the key to their success.”

"this…………………………"

Although Ye Changqing's cultivation level might not have much influence on the battlefield, there is no doubt that Ye Changqing could significantly boost the morale of the human race.

The moment the aroma of the food wafted out, the combat power of the many human cultivators would instantly increase by three points.

Therefore, Ye Changqing's words are not without reason.

Moreover, Ye Changqing had his own reasons for saying that.

Firstly, the fact that the Heavenly Ancestor took the initiative to ask for help indicates that the situation was critical, and it was uncertain whether Elder Huang could succeed by leading his men alone.

If I were to add myself to the equation, I would obviously be even more confident.

Moreover, Huang Lao and the others have all shown him kindness in some way along the way. Now that the Tian family patriarch, Miao Cuihua, and the others are in danger, Ye Changqing has no reason to stand idly by.

Therefore, even knowing there was danger, Ye Changqing was willing to go with Elder Huang.

Under Ye Changqing's insistence, Old Huang finally nodded, which was considered an agreement.

After all, Ye Changqing's words made sense, and since it was about repaying a debt of gratitude, what reason did he have to refuse?

Just as he was listening to the two talking, Zhao Zhengping suddenly spoke up.

"In that case, I'll go too."

Ok? ? ?

Upon hearing this, Old Huang's lips twitched, and he gave him a disgruntled look.

"You just stay here, don't get involved in any trouble."

What were Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie, with their Immortal Realm cultivation, doing there? Were they going to help Ye Changqing?

Besides, the two of them are staying with the Tianling Clan and preparing to enter the Heavenly Pool. Why are they running around aimlessly at this time?

After being scolded by Old Huang, Zhao Zhengping obediently shut his mouth.

As for Xu Jie, he secretly gave Ye Changqing all the valuable things he had treasured on him when Huang Lao left and he was arranging everyone's departure.

"Junior brother, be careful this time you go alone. I have some good things on me, keep them, they might come in handy."

"This is a talisman developed by my senior brother. It can bewitch the mind. Look at it. It looks like a blank sheet of paper. My senior brother added a concealment talisman on it. The effect is due to the combination of the two."

"When you use it, you drop it on the ground, and anyone who is curious can trigger it by touching it."

Ok? ? ?

"And this one, it looks like an ordinary array plate, but actually..."

"actually?"

"Actually, it is still a talisman. Senior brother used some tricks to disguise it as an array plate."

"What's the use?"

"Are you stupid? Throwing out an array plate poses no threat. When the enemy sees it as an array plate, they will be caught off guard. But when it suddenly explodes in front of them, they will realize it's a talisman. By then, it will be too late. Is that what you call useless?"

Ok? ? ?

Seeing that Xu Jie had taken out many of his own researched "treasures," and worried that Ye Changqing wouldn't know how to use them, he introduced them one by one.

Ye Changqing was completely bewildered, and finally looked at his third senior brother with a suspicious expression.

"Third Senior Brother, are you... alright?"

"No problem, I'm eating well."

"But all of this..."

"Junior brother, please don't refuse. If these treasures can protect you, I'm willing to give them up."

Ok? ? ?

Upon hearing this, Ye Changqing's eyelids twitched. Was I declining? Where did you get the idea that I was declining?

silent.

However, he couldn't refuse Xu Jie's kind offer and accepted these treasures in the end.

That very evening, Elder Huang set off with his men. Time was of the essence; they didn't know what the situation was like on the other side of the Tian family patriarch.

On the Tianling Clan's side, only Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping remained.

The celestial ship flew at breakneck speed, heading towards the royal court of the extraterrestrial demons.

Meanwhile, outside this royal court, a massive array enveloped the heavens and earth.

The formation completely cut off the surrounding space, trapping all the human powerhouses inside.

Even Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe couldn't break through it.

Moreover, the formation was constantly emitting streaks of fiery red light, making it look like a giant alchemy furnace.

Indeed, this is true; the formation actually has the effect of refining life force.

Those trapped within the formation could feel it constantly eroding their life force.

If this continues, it's estimated that 99% of the people inside the formation will die within a month.

Everyone was doing their best to mobilize their spiritual power to protect themselves and deal with the formation's refining.

On the periphery of the crowd, Zhao Tianqing, Tianhe, the Tian family patriarch, Miao Cuihua, and several Heavenly Officials from the Heavenly Palace used their immense power to protect the ordinary cultivators below as much as possible.

In order to enable them to persevere for longer.

However, this approach is only a temporary solution and not a permanent one. If no way is found to get out of the predicament, no matter how long it lasts, there will eventually be a day when it runs out of steam.

"Damn it, how did they detect my intentions and make arrangements in advance?"

At this moment, Tianhe, standing at the very front of the group, spoke with a gloomy expression.

He had been planning this battle for a long time and had made thorough preparations beforehand, but who would have thought that they would fall into an ambush before the battle even started.

The entire army was wiped out, and everyone was trapped in the formation.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianqing, who was standing to the side, said in an annoyed tone.

"How did you know? In short, you've gone too far, old man. You've been outsmarted."

"You are probably the first Heavenly Palace Master to be tricked by the Heavenly Spirit Clan."

"You...aren't you one too?"

Upon hearing this, Tianhe's eyes flashed with anger, but she quickly retorted defiantly.

He was tricked, but Zhao Tianqing was also trapped here with him, so he counts as one too.

These words made Zhao Tianqing's face even uglier.

"Me? I was harmed because of you."

"Heh, we're all brothers, what's the harm? Did you think I didn't have a backup plan?"

"Do you have a backup plan?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianqing looked at Tianhe with anticipation, thinking, "You old fellow, you're quite something, you've got a few backup plans."
